93: Mission Treasure Chest
Inside the exhibition hall, visitors continuously streamed in.
Han Fei stood in a corner of the exhibition, his gaze slowly sweeping across the entire venue, taking in the dazzling array of treasure chests.
Faced with so many choices, he was momentarily unsure where to begin his treasure hunt.
After a moment of contemplation, Han Fei asked the Luna Fairy Spirit, who was invisible beside him, "Have you found any treasure chests suitable for me?"
The Luna Fairy Spirit quickly replied, "I've found two treasure chests that are very suitable for you."
Even before entering the hall, she had used reconnaissance magic to scan all the treasure chests inside.
"What kind of treasure chests? Where are they?" Han Fei, unable to hide his eagerness, pressed on.
"They are not far directly ahead; you'll understand when you see that treasure chest," the Luna Fairy Spirit said with a mysterious smile, guiding the direction.
Following the Luna Fairy Spirit's guidance, Han Fei quickly saw the treasure chest she was pointing to.
A Level 4 black iron grade treasure chest, the Flower Fairy treasure chest.
"This..."
Looking at the exquisite treasure chest, which resembled an elf figurine, Han Fei's brows furrowed slightly.
He had heard of this treasure chest.
Although its Rank was only Level 4, it was an extremely rare treasure chest.
Its rarity was so high that it was comparable to some Level 7 treasure chests.
It was a pity that the items it opened were too ordinary, otherwise, it wouldn't have been rated as Level 4.
"Are you sure it's this treasure chest?" Han Fei confirmed with the Luna Fairy Spirit, his heart full of doubts.
"That's right, it's this one," the Luna Fairy Spirit's answer was decisive, revealing an unquestionable firmness.
Upon hearing this, Han Fei immediately pulled out his phone, opened the "treasure chest Library" app, and quickly looked up the items that could be opened from the black iron grade Flower Fairy treasure chest.
After browsing, an expression of disappointment mixed with confusion appeared on Han Fei's face.
"The items opened from this treasure chest are very ordinary; there's nothing useful for me."
The Luna Fairy Spirit, however, said with great confidence, "Just go ahead and use your Random Drop ability on this treasure chest; I guarantee you won't be disappointed."
Seeing the Luna Fairy Spirit's confidence, Han Fei's heart was filled with both doubt and anticipation, but he ultimately decided to follow her advice and used his Cheat on the treasure chest.
In an instant, the air seemed to be filled with a subtle fluctuation.
A floral fragrance permeated the air.
Then.
A light-bodied creature, shaped like a dragonfly, quietly appeared in Han Fei's palm.
"No way..."
Feeling the petal-like softness in his palm, Han Fei's heart was in turmoil.
He looked around, realizing that no one was looking his way.
"You don't have to worry; I used illusion magic, so others won't see anything," the Luna Fairy Spirit said with a smile.
Han Fei felt a little relieved at her words.
He looked down at his palm, and what met his eyes was a dreamlike creature, a mix of pink and green.
Han Fei couldn't help but exclaim, "This couldn't be... a Flower Fairy, could it?"
"Hehe, you guessed right!"
The Luna Fairy Spirit proudly fluttered her transparent wings, seemingly delighted by Han Fei's correct guess.
"Why did a Flower Fairy come out?"
Han Fei's brows were furrowed with confusion, and his tone was filled with incredulity.
One must know that only gold or even platinum grade Flower Fairy treasure chests had a chance to yield a Flower Fairy.
And finding a gold grade Flower Fairy treasure chest was almost as difficult as reaching for the moon in the Nine Heavens, something that could be encountered but not sought after.
Flower Fairies, this race, are magical beings second only to Fairy Spirits.
They possess graceful figures, skin like congealed cream, and eyes that seem to hold myriad flower seas, exuding breathtaking beauty.
Besides their dreamlike beautiful appearance, Flower Fairies also possess a very magical ability.
They can weave some exotic flowers into various dreamlike flower wreaths through mysterious and unpredictable methods.
These flower wreaths, once worn on the head or neck, can bring unprecedented good luck and opportunities to the wearer.
Although the good luck enhancement effect of Flower Fairy Flower Wreaths still pales in comparison to the Heaven-Defying good luck enhancement of the white god's Lucky Charm, among the many methods of increasing luck, Flower Fairy Flower Wreaths are definitely among the best, a coveted Immortal Treasure for countless people.
It's just that Flower Fairies are extremely rare; from ancient times to the present, the number of recorded Flower Fairies is less than a hundred.
In addition, Flower Fairies have extremely short lifespans, like fleeting meteors in the night sky, most not exceeding a year.
This undoubtedly makes Flower Fairy Flower Wreaths even rarer and harder to find.
Their preciousness even far surpasses the white god clear tea, known as the Tea Sage, a miracle that can be encountered but not sought after.
"Why would a black iron grade Flower Fairy treasure chest yield a Flower Fairy?" Han Fei's eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
The Luna Fairy Spirit gently covered her mouth, letting out a peal of silvery laughter, and then slowly unveiled the mystery: "As long as you carry the Flower Wreath Secret, then no matter what quality Flower Fairy treasure chest it is, it's possible to trigger a miracle and open a living Flower Fairy."
"Flower Wreath Secret? What's that?" Han Fei asked curiously; he didn't remember having such a thing.
"Look at that small green ring on the chest of your clothes; that's the Flower Wreath Secret," the Luna Fairy Spirit's words were full of playfulness, as if she had already anticipated Han Fei's bewilderment.
Upon hearing this, Han Fei quickly lowered his head to examine his lapel.
Sure enough, on the edge of the fabric at his chest, a small emerald green ring was quietly embedded.
It was neither too big nor too small, just right, emitting a reassuring aura, yet it had never caught Han Fei's attention before.
"When did you put that on?" Han Fei hadn't noticed it at all earlier.
"When you were choosing your Cheat," the Luna Fairy Spirit said with a smile.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"I just wanted to give you a surprise, hehe," the Luna Fairy Spirit seemed very happy.
Fairy Spirits all have a mischievous streak, enjoying playing tricks on people.
Han Fei smiled and shook his head, no longer dwelling on the matter.
"What should I do with this Flower Fairy? It seems it hasn't woken up yet."
Han Fei looked at the half-awake beautiful creature in his palm, unsure how to handle it.
"Let it sleep for a while; I'll use magic to wake it up when we get back."
Then the Luna Fairy Spirit chanted a spell, and an invisible film enveloped the Flower Fairy, which then disappeared from Han Fei's sight.
Seeing the Luna Fairy Spirit settle the Flower Fairy, Han Fei's gaze once again turned to the Flower Fairy treasure chest, eager to try again: "If I use the Cheat on this treasure chest again now, can I still get a Flower Fairy?"
Of course, the more of these legendary creatures, the Flower Fairies, the better.
"That's probably not possible."
"Why?" Han Fei asked, puzzled.
"Look at the Flower Wreath Secret on your chest; isn't it starting to wither?"
Hearing the Luna Fairy Spirit's reminder, Han Fei subconsciously lowered his head to examine the once vibrant small green ring on his chest.
At this moment, it was rapidly turning yellow at a visible speed, its life force seemingly draining away quickly, like a flickering candle in the night, weak and wavering, signaling the approach of some end.
"One Flower Wreath Secret can only attract one Flower Fairy; otherwise, why do you think Flower Fairies are so rare?" the Luna Fairy Spirit said impatiently.
"Alright."
Han Fei sighed softly, extinguishing the unrealistic fantasy in his heart.
A black iron grade Flower Fairy treasure chest would be useless to Han Fei if it couldn't yield a Flower Fairy.
So they didn't linger there and headed to the location of another treasure chest.
The moment he saw that treasure chest, Han Fei's eyes widened.
It was an extremely rare Level 7 treasure chest, a Quest treasure chest.
"They actually put such a precious treasure chest on display."
Han Fei marveled at the immense wealth of the treasure chest Exhibition.
One must know that even a black iron grade Quest treasure chest is an extremely valuable item; ordinary people, let alone buying one, might not even see one in their lifetime.
Because once a Quest treasure chest appears, it will be fought over by major top powers and even Superpowers.
This is because the Quest treasure chest will assign a tailor-made quest based on the opener's identity and background, like a destiny judgment in ancient rituals.
For example, if a national leader opens it, he might face a nation-strengthening quest concerning the rise and fall of national destiny.
This quest might require him to reform the political System, promote technological innovation, or form an unbreakable Alliance with other Superpowers within a limited time.
Once the quest is completed, the rewards will undoubtedly make the entire nation stronger, such as powerful epic-grade magical items, an improvement in the physical quality of the entire population, or even the technology of Advanced civilizations.
However, if an ordinary commoner were to open a Quest treasure chest, they would only receive simple, everyday trivial quests.
For instance, stepping forward at a street corner bathed in the setting sun to stop an impending bullying incident.
Or perhaps, on a certain weekend, navigating a bustling market to collect ten fresh apples, ten eggs with a warm farm aroma, and other daily collection quests.
After completing such simple quests, the rewards would naturally be unremarkable.
Perhaps it would be learning a basic set of combat skills, or receiving a beautifully packaged bag of branded apples.
In short, the quests opened by the System treasure chests vary greatly depending on the opener's identity and destiny.
The higher and more special a person's identity, the more difficult the quest they receive, and naturally, the higher the reward after completing the quest.
"You are the one destined to eliminate the Devil King; with such a special identity, the quest you receive must be extraordinary!" the Luna Fairy Spirit said in a very affirmative tone.
"What if the quest is too difficult and I can't complete it?" Han Fei's brows furrowed, his inner anxiety clearly visible.
"What are you afraid of? Don't I have me here!" the Luna Fairy Spirit confidently patted her chest.
"Besides, this is just a black iron grade Quest treasure chest; how difficult can the quest it opens be?"
"You're right."
With renewed confidence, Han Fei immediately used his Cheat on the Quest treasure chest.
Suddenly, a melodious and ancient voice echoed in his ears.
[Congratulations, you have received the 'Random Stall' series quest]
[Quest Description: Set up a stall daily at the designated location to sell any items. Upon completing the quest, you will receive generous rewards.]
[Quest Start Time: In 72 hours]
[Quest Location: Entrance of the Gourmet Academy at Third Hunter University, Tianhe]
[Stall Hours: 5 PM to 9 PM]
[Quest Reward: Improve one random Aptitude to A-Rank]
[Quest Failure: Series quest terminates, one random Aptitude drops to F-Rank]
"Ah... this?"
Upon learning the quest information, Han Fei was momentarily at a loss for words.
"What quest did you get?" the Luna Fairy Spirit quickly asked.
Han Fei swallowed, repeating the quest details to her verbatim.
"What a strange quest? But the reward is quite good," a smile of approval curved the Luna Fairy Spirit's lips.
In her opinion, simply setting up a stall could directly raise a certain Aptitude to A-Rank, which was indeed a rare good fortune, even in her long life.
Although Han Fei was somewhat surprised by the content of the quest, he was very satisfied with the quest's reward.
As long as he was lucky enough, the Aptitude that would be raised to A-Rank upon completing the quest could very well be the Superpower Aptitude he urgently needed.
Driven by this excited emotion, Han Fei couldn't help but blurt out, his voice filled with uncontrollable anticipation: "Can I have another one, no, four quests?!"
With such good rewards, the more quests, the better, of course.
However, the Luna Fairy Spirit's voice suddenly became low and serious, like the twilight slowly descending at dusk: "You can, but I advise you not to do so."
Han Fei was stunned, confusion instantly creeping onto his brows, "Why?"
"Given your current luck, if you were to get more quests, they would likely be complementary quests."
"Isn't that perfect?" Han Fei asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, the Luna Fairy Spirit sighed softly, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness and worry, "Heh, perfect? You must not want to live anymore."
Han Fei caught the seriousness in her words, his expression stiffened, and he pressed, "What do you mean by that?"
The Luna Fairy Spirit didn't answer directly, instead asking, "Have you ever thought about who issues the quests in the Quest treasure chest?"
Han Fei froze, his mind blank, only managing to utter a guess in an almost self-questioning tone: "The Quest treasure chest?"
"What Quest treasure chest!" the Luna Fairy Spirit couldn't help but laugh wryly at his words, but then her expression turned solemn, "It's a quest issued by Destiny!"
"Destiny?"
Han Fei's expression changed.
"Quest treasure chests, like Lucky treasure chests and Unlucky treasure chests, all belong to the Destiny-type treasure chests."
The Luna Fairy Spirit educated Han Fei.
"They can all be said to be Incarnations of Destiny, indispensable and important parts of the Law of Destiny!"
Hearing this, Han Fei's brows remained tightly furrowed, as if he was troubled by the complex fog of destiny's logic.
"Even if the Quest treasure chest is part of Destiny, why can't I have a few more quests?"
Upon hearing this, the Luna Fairy Spirit's tone became somewhat stern, "Idiot, have you forgotten the purpose of Destiny's existence?"
Han Fei's heart instantly tensed.
"The purpose of Destiny's existence... to maintain the balance of this world, to pull back abnormal factors that deviate from their track, or to eliminate them?"
