94: Complementary, man-eating treasure chest

"Hmph, so you do remember after all."

Seeing Han Fei react, Luna gave a light hum, both blaming and reminding him.

"You must understand that whether it's the System or the White God Good Luck Magic, on the scales of destiny, they are both extremely abnormal existences."

"Although their specifications are high enough to evade most destiny reviews, if you blatantly use these extreme anomalies and challenge destiny's bottom line right in its face, it would be difficult for it not to discover you!"

Luna's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Han Fei's head, startling him awake.

His previous actions were like cheating in a closely monitored exam, brazenly showing his small movements to the invigilator.

This behavior was an extreme provocation to the Law of destiny, and even a Child of the World would be targeted fiercely by destiny.

"If you only used the System, destiny might not discover you, but if you use it along with the White God Good Luck Magic, then it could be dangerous!"

A hint of confusion and doubt appeared in Han Fei's eyes, and his tone held a probing quality, "Why is it fine to just use the System? But dangerous to use it with the White God Good Luck Magic?"

"Because the System's specifications are too high; it can almost be said to transcend beyond this world. Even if the wheel of destiny turns endlessly, it's difficult for it to capture its existence," Luna Fairy Spirit said with great certainty.

This greatly surprised Han Fei; he hadn't expected the System to have such an advantage.

"But, the White God Good Luck Magic..."

Luna Fairy Spirit's voice timely pulled Han Fei back to reality from his deep thoughts.

"The complete White God Good Luck Magic can silently weave a net of luck for the user, making it undetectable even by destiny.

Unfortunately, with our current conditions, it's impossible to achieve, so there's a high probability that destiny will discover it."

"What worries me more is, what if destiny discovers the System on you because of this? The consequences would be unimaginable!"

Han Fei nodded thoughtfully.

The incomplete White God Good Luck Magic now was like a dilapidated radio, every use like walking through a minefield, fraught with danger.

If described as cheating, a fully deployed White God Good Luck Magic would be like high-tech invisible Bluetooth earphones.

But the incomplete White God Good Luck Magic was like cheating with over-ear headphones, naturally increasing the risk of exposure hundreds of times over.

"It seems I can only give up then."

Just as Han Fei decided to abandon this unrealistic idea and turned to leave, Luna Fairy Spirit's clear voice rang out again.

"I think... we can actually take a bit of a risk and get another quest."

Han Fei's brows furrowed, his expression revealing a hint of worry, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by destiny?"

His voice was mixed with complex emotions, both fear of the unknown and desire for opportunity.

Luna Fairy Spirit smiled softly, her eyes sparkling with an unusual light: "Afraid, of course, I am. But in my opinion, compared to the generous rewards we might gain, this small risk is completely acceptable. We cannot give up the chance to pursue the sea of stars just because we fear the darkness, don't you agree?"

Luna Fairy Spirit continued to explain her perspective to Han Fei in her clear, stream-like voice, "Just think, a complementary quest is like two swords combining; their powers mutually promote and achieve each other. The effect is more than just twice the result with half the effort!"

"How much help this will be for us to defeat the Devil King soon, you'll understand if you just think about it!"

She lightly twirled her finger, as if sketching a blueprint of victory in the air.

"And the price you pay is just to bear a tiny risk of being discovered by destiny, after all, it's just a complementary quest. The probability of destiny accurately capturing you among these many intertwined Karma is extremely small."

Hearing Luna Fairy Spirit say this, Han Fei's heart was immediately stirred.

He bore the heavy responsibility of defeating the Devil King and saving the world.

Han Fei didn't want to be buried with the Devil King, so he had to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

To rapidly increase strength, how could he not be willing to take even a little risk?

It's like just going out on the street; there's a possibility of being hit by a car or struck by a falling object from a height.

Should one then cower indoors all day, abandoning the exploration of the vast world outside, just for fear of this tiny possibility?

No, that was definitely not Han Fei's choice.

In that instant, Han Fei's will became even firmer.

He decisively used his Cheat on the treasure chest again.

"Congratulations on obtaining the 'Culinary Shock' continuous quest."

"Quest Description: Make delicious food for different people every day."

"Quest Start Time: 72 hours later."

"Quest Requirement: Within one day, ensure 100 diners taste pure joy and satisfaction from your delicious food."

"Quest Reward: Elevate one random A-Rank Aptitude to S-Rank; one random Advanced recipe."

"Quest Failure: The continuous quest ends, one random E-Rank Aptitude is lowered to F-Rank."

Seeing the quest description, the surprise in Han Fei's heart surged like a spring, impossible to suppress.

"It really is a complementary quest!"

The 'Random Stall' continuous quest only required him to set up a stall at a designated location to sell things, without specifying what to sell.

Now, after obtaining the 'Culinary Shock' continuous quest, Han Fei could completely set up a stall to sell delicious food, which is a street food stall.

Doing so would easily allow these two continuous quests to cooperate and promote each other, and he could also receive multiple rewards in return!

An Aptitude that could originally only be raised to A-Rank could now be directly raised to S-Rank!

Although S-Rank and A-Rank only differ by one level, the gap between them is as insurmountable as a chasm.

A person with S-Rank Aptitude, even if other conditions are somewhat mediocre, can steadily advance on the path of Cultivation, eventually easily entering the ranks of B-Rank Experts, becoming an existence admired by all.

In contrast, A-Rank Aptitude holders, without extraordinary encounters, often only hover at the C-Rank Realm, and the threshold of B-Rank will be a lifelong unattainable dream for them.

That feeling of powerlessness, like heavy shackles, restricts their progress.

In this world, only by crossing into B-Rank can one be respectfully called an "Expert"!

An Expert means being able to leave one's mark on this world, hold the right to speak, and even influence the course of history!

One must know that many top powers, relying on their deep foundations and resources, can Cultivate A-Rank Aptitude holders in batches after paying a certain price.

However, S-Rank Aptitude holders, apart from the three Superpowers and a very few top powers that rival them, other countries or forces, even if they try their best, find it difficult to Cultivate an S-Rank Aptitude holder.

The reason lies in the astonishing conditions for S-Rank Aptitude elevation.

It requires the aid of super rare magical items like the Level 3 magic cake, which has appeared only a few times throughout history.

Such magical items are scarce even in the national treasuries of Superpowers, let alone in other forces with less financial and material resources.

But now, Han Fei only needs to set up a stall to have the chance to elevate one Aptitude to S-Rank.

This opportunity, even if Superpowers heard of it, would likely be filled with envy and moved by it.

Seeing Han Fei's uncontrollable excitement, Luna Fairy Spirit quickly asked, "What kind of quest is it? Tell me quickly!"

Han Fei quickly told her.

As Han Fei's words gradually faded, Luna Fairy Spirit fell into a brief silence, her expression a mix of surprise and disbelief.

"These two quests are practically tailor-made for you."

"Haha, yes, my luck is really too good!"

In his excitement, Han Fei's gaze involuntarily turned back to the treasure chest.

"What do you say, should I gamble again?"

As he spoke, the eagerness in his eyes almost spilled out.

Clearly, he still wanted another complementary quest!

However, Luna Fairy Spirit interrupted his fantasy with an unusually firm and undeniable tone.

"Enough is enough!"

"If you try again, the probability of destiny discovering you is very high!"

The usual playful lightness was gone from her face, replaced by a rare seriousness and solemnity.

Han Fei's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"How low do you think the probability of simultaneously having three complementary quests is under normal circumstances?"

Luna Fairy Spirit tried to make Han Fei ponder the weight of the matter by asking a rhetorical question.

"Even if it's low, what then?"

Han Fei still seemed a bit confused.

His current luck could be described as Heaven-Defying, almost as if he had an 'assured drop' Cheat, getting almost whatever he wanted.

No matter how low the probability, as long as there was even a sliver of possibility, he would most likely achieve it.

Seeing Han Fei like this, Luna Fairy Spirit sighed and shook her head, "Let me put it this way, considering the difficulty of the treasure chest's creation, the probability of one person simultaneously having two complementary quests should be around one in a hundred billion."

"One in a hundred billion..."

Han Fei's pupils contracted slightly; even the lottery jackpot doesn't have such a low probability.

"Having two complementary quests is already this low; what do you think the probability of simultaneously having three would be?"

Han Fei shook his head, no longer daring to think about it.

"You must know that all probabilities in this world are controlled by destiny. Once such an almost impossible thing happens, do you think destiny wouldn't notice?!"

Han Fei slowly nodded; he already understood Luna Fairy Spirit's meaning.

He was now like a lottery player, a cheating lottery player.

And destiny played the role of the lottery merchant, sitting on the throne and controlling everything.

It not only meticulously set the rules of all destiny in the world but also secretly manipulated the probability levers of every fortune and misfortune, letting people ebb and flow in this grand gamble.

What Han Fei wanted to do now was to obtain that almost impossible miracle through a Cheat.

Such abnormal behavior was like a towering wave suddenly rising on a calm lake; how could destiny not discover it?

"Don't think I'm being alarmist; I can tell you very clearly that if such a super low probability event happens, destiny will definitely notice it immediately!"

Luna Fairy Spirit's voice carried undeniable weight.

"At that time, destiny will definitely target you from all angles, without blind spots. Unless you have beyond S-Rank strength, you will inevitably die in the traps woven by destiny."

Listening to this solemn warning, Han Fei couldn't help but feel a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, as if instantly doused with ice water.

With his current strength, destiny merely targeting him a little could make him very miserable.

"Don't think that just because you bear the mission of eliminating the Devil King, you can challenge destiny's authority."

Luna Fairy Spirit's tone became a bit more severe.

"You must know that that mission was also bestowed upon you by destiny; since it can bestow it upon you, it can naturally take it back."

"You understand what the consequences would be then, even if I don't say it."

Luna Fairy Spirit's words were like heavy hammers striking Han Fei's heart, each sound shaking his Soul.

Han Fei nodded silently, a complex light flashing in his eyes, and finally, all his unwillingness and impulsiveness were suppressed by reason.

"Having two complementary quests should be enough; I can't gamble anymore."

He silently warned himself in his heart.

Gambling again would truly be life-threatening.

After calming down, Han Fei asked Luna Fairy Spirit, "What is our next goal?"

He still had three uses of the 'Random Drop' Cheat left, so he naturally had to make full use of them.

"Let me think."

Luna Fairy Spirit pinched her chin, pondering.

"Let's take a gamble; with your current luck, you should have a chance."

Before Han Fei could turn his doubts into words, Luna Fairy Spirit had already transformed into a brilliant stream of light, gracefully floating ahead, like a star guiding a lost traveler.

"Come with me quickly."

Han Fei followed closely behind.

Their figures rapidly moved through the corridor, the light around them sometimes dim, sometimes flickering, as if traversing the edge between reality and illusion.

Finally, in a deep corner, a terrifyingly shaped treasure chest suddenly came into view.

That treasure chest, if not seen with one's own eyes, it would be truly difficult to imagine such a bizarre object existing in the world.

From a distance, it looked like a peeled human head, making one's hair stand on end.

Upon closer inspection, it was even more chilling; its surface was covered with a layer of dry, bark-like skin, wrinkled and tangled, as if speaking of the vicissitudes of time and endless pain.

And those hollow eye sockets were like deep black holes, faintly exuding a mysterious and terrifying aura, as if capable of devouring all the surrounding light and hope.

However, what was most terrifying were the fangs that filled its entire mouth.

They were incredibly sharp, gleaming with a cold light, like rows of pointed steel needles, hideous and frightful. These fangs seemed to possess a certain sentience, as if they could open their mouth at any moment and fiercely bite any creature that dared to approach, tearing it to shreds.

Just one glance made Han Fei feel an indescribable fear and oppressive sensation, as if he wasn't facing a lifeless object, but an extremely ferocious beast.

Han Fei gasped.

He knew this treasure chest.

A Level 5 treasure chest, the skeleton treasure chest.

Its other name was the man-eating treasure chest.
