51: Scarlet Knight

First, Chen Ming selected the wood treasure box. He wanted to know what rewards could be opened from this lowest-level treasure box.

"It's quite thoughtful; it provides a ten-consecutive option, which saves a lot of trouble."

Without hesitation, he confirmed opening ten consecutively.

【Opening the wood treasure box...】

【Open successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Military Cleaver +1!】

【Open successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Twenty Jin Pack of Rice +1!】

【Open successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Rifle Bullets +10!】

【Open successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Carrots +3!】

【Open successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Canned Beef +1!】

【Open successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Fire Axe +1!】

【Open successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Fragrant Pear +1!】

【Open successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Pack of Spicy Strips!】

【Open successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Mineral Water +3!】

【Open successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Claw Hammer +1!】

After looking through them, they were all very basic, ordinary items that could be found in reality.

If you were to talk about rarity, it would definitely be the dozens of rifle bullets, as ordinary people wouldn't have access to such things at all.

They were a bit ordinary, but in another half a year, one year, two years, three years...

When the existing food supply is nearly depleted, and subsequent production can't keep up.

For Chen Ming, this is a wood treasure box, but for others walking in the apocalypse, struggling to survive, it is a treasure that is hard to come by!

Chen Ming no longer opened the wood treasure box and decided to store it as a backup resource.

When food runs out in the future, he could open thousands of them and heavily replenish his warehouse.

Instead, Chen Ming set his sights on the only black iron treasure box.

The battle between him and the Titan Zombie was not very difficult.

But if it were someone else, with only this one SSS-grade Skill, it is estimated that even if the opportunity was in front of him, he would still not be able to grasp it.

Not to mention killing the Titan Zombie, whether he could cut off its bone sword and break through its defense was a difficult problem.

That bone sword could be used as both a sharp blade and a shield.

Shaking his head, clearing his mind of unnecessary thoughts, Chen Ming selected the black iron treasure box and confirmed to open it!

【Opening the black iron treasure box...】

【Open successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining tang blade Special Enhancement Accessory +1!】

"Huh?!"

After confirming it twice, Chen Ming now had reason to suspect that the luck value accumulated from multiple SSS-grade Skills might truly allow him to get what he wished for at certain times.

Chen Ming couldn't help but think when he was fighting the Titan Zombie earlier:

If both tang blades could be enhanced once, and then paired with the Double Blade Style skill, they would definitely produce even more amazing effects!

Unexpectedly, this one-time opportunity actually allowed him to open the reward he wanted most at the moment.

Without further ado, he selected the tang blade special enhancement accessory and confirmed to use it!

【Using...】

【Addition successful! tang blade has completed upgrade! Renamed to: Frost tang blade!】

"One fire attribute, one ice attribute?" Chen Ming immediately opened the storage space, found the Frost tang blade, and took it out.

Holding it in his hand, he observed it for a long time.

The surface didn't change much, just covered with a thin layer of white frost.

Getting a little closer, he could feel the cold air spreading from the blade!

Chen Ming got up and walked to a bush.

Without touching, he lightly swept the blade over the leaves from a distance.

Immediately after, the leaves that were still green and full of vitality a second ago were directly frozen in large patches.

Chen Ming reached out and picked one, and with a little force from two fingers, it easily shattered.

The sound was crisp, and it scattered on the ground.

The cold air froze not only the surface but also the inside of the leaves, making them more fragile and brittle!

Chen Ming's lips curved slightly, it was not hard to imagine what kind of miraculous effect this thing would have if used on Zombie monsters or enemies.

Satisfied! Very satisfied!

A treasure box ranked second to last could open such a reward, enough to easily elevate a person from a commoner to someone superior to others. What did he have to complain about?

In other words, if the second to last reward was so exciting, then what about the mythical, king, and epic level treasure boxes ranked first, second, and third?

Looking forward to it, very much looking forward to it!

Releasing the handle, the tang blade automatically turned into small mosaic-like squares, disappearing back into the storage space.

In Chen Ming's opinion, this function was very practical.

The SSS-level storage space can not only automatically retrieve Chen Ming's equipment at any time.

It could also, the moment he needed it, make the item he thought of immediately appear in his hand.

This setting could be of great use in battles with strong enemies.

After all, you couldn't open the virtual panel during a battle and slowly search for the items you needed, could you?

By the time you found it, it would be too late.

Whoosh!

A cool breeze blew by.

The temperature in Jiang City dropped sharply at night.

Chen Ming returned to the villa, picked up the remote control, sat on the sofa, and turned on the TV.

Then, within his storage space, he switched to the food section and chose his dinner.

He took out a steaming, fragrant plate of seafood fried rice, plus red wine steak, and a few croissants.

He ate a simple meal.

If outsiders knew that the food made by a five-star chef was just a simple meal to cope with in Chen Ming's eyes, they would likely be so angry they'd vomit blood.

He took a mouthful of rice paired with squid tentacles.

His other hand held the remote control, changing channels.

Only then did he realize that, he didn't know when, but out of the original hundreds of channels, only one remained, Yang Shi One.

The picture was shaking badly; after all, it was being filmed from a helicopter, which was understandable.

"Dear viewers, we have now arrived over Yang City, broadcasting the latest news about the Scarlet Knight! Viewers can go to the Yang TV official website to get the latest movement route of the Scarlet Knight at any time for easy evacuation..."

"Scarlet Knight?"

Chen Ming put the fried rice that was about to reach his mouth back down, his eyes fixed on the TV screen.

The cameraman adjusted the camera angle, focusing on a figure.

No, it couldn't be called a person.

Although his appearance looked like a person, he absolutely couldn't be human!

The giant knight, with a strong metallic texture, reflecting the silver moonlight, completely covered from head to toe by scarlet armor, was slowly moving through the city.

His purpose was unknown, and his destination was even more unknown.

He didn't actively seek out or hunt humans like other Zombies.

He just walked quietly.

Using the nearby buildings as a reference, Chen Ming estimated that this Scarlet Knight and the Dangerous Rover Mech he owned should be roughly the same size.

"While I was testing my blade, did some unlucky guy lure this thing out?"

"Should I say he's lucky, or unlucky?" Chen Ming's expression was complex.

He put down the spoon.

He picked up his phone and entered the Yang TV official website address that was constantly scrolling above the TV screen.

Chen Ming wanted to see if that Scarlet Knight would pose a threat to him.

It wasn't groundless worry, simply because the city of Yang City was right next to Jiang City.
