35: Skill fragments, open the lucky treasure box

Under the diligent and meticulous care of the three sisters.

In just one day, Liu Yang had completely recovered.

Of course, the help of medicine was indispensable during this period.

He also learned everything that happened after he fell unconscious from the three of them.

The matter was simple.

After he killed the Unknown Residual Soul Fragment, the barrier of the great hall disappeared.

Guan Ningxiu painstakingly carried him out.

When the two returned to the outside world, the black curtain entrance had mysteriously vanished.

Only a lonely grave remained in place.

Afterward, the three sisters exchanged the steel knives he had given them for self-defense for a healing potion.

When he woke up, it was already the next morning.

Counting carefully, he had been unconscious for less than a day.

“Alas, what a pity! If I could have thoroughly explored that great hall, perhaps I could have uncovered the secrets of this survival game!”

Upon hearing that the great hall had disappeared, Liu Yang felt a deep sense of regret.

He felt he had missed an opportunity to understand the truth of the matter.

But on second thought.

Being alive was already a blessing; there was no need to dwell on such thoughts.

At the same time, through this incident, he understood that it was unwise to fight alone in the Dungeon.

There is strength in numbers.

In this Dungeon where anything can happen, it's hard to gain much without taking some risks.

And if you want to take risks, if it's just you, in case of an accident, there's no other way but to save yourself.

As for the outcome, it depends on whether you can successfully save yourself.

But if someone helps you, the outcome will be much better, just like this time.

Of course, you can also cautiously stay low.

But in that case, there's a high probability of being eliminated.

If you don't strive for progress, how can you ever stand out?

This is true even in the real world, let alone this Underground Palace World!

“Forget it, other matters can wait for now; I should check my gains from this trip.”

“What was the final drop? Oh, right, an Unknown Skill Fragment and a Lucky Treasure Chest.”

With a nervous and excited heart, Liu Yang summoned the game interface.

The system had returned to normal operation, without any abnormalities, running smoothly and seamlessly.

After the game interface appeared.

The most eye-catching thing was a flashing, constantly bouncing avatar in the chat option.

The owner of the message was Shi Yufei.

Fearing that the other party had something urgent, Liu Yang reached out and clicked it open.

“Liu Yang, I have good news for you. My teammates and I cleared the Dungeon Dire Wolf's lair.”

“Guess what we got inside? It’ll scare you to death if I tell you.”

“Liu Yang? Are you busy? Why aren't you replying to me?”

“Liu Yang, are you alright? Are you injured?”

“Liu Yang, if you need my help, please don't hesitate. Even if I can't provide direct assistance, I'll try my best to find a way.”

“Liu Yang, what's wrong? Why haven't you spoken for so long?”

“Liu Yang.”

“Liu Yang.”

There were many messages, and a careful count revealed nearly a hundred of them.

From initial joyful sharing, to doubt and unease, then to fear and bewilderment.

From the simple sentences, Liu Yang fully understood the other party's inner feelings.

“It's nothing, I'm safe, just delayed by some matters.”

“Also, I just promised to stew meat for you every day, but I didn't expect to break my word so soon. Please forgive me.”

“I have some things to attend to now. Once I'm done, I'll make you something delicious.”

“Oh, right, I remember you have a blueprint for an electric grill. If you still have it and don't need it, please give it to me. That way, I can have another cooking method.”

Liu Yang said a few simple words and was about to close the dialogue box.

Unexpectedly, the other party replied instantly.

“Okay, then you go ahead and be busy. The stewed meat isn't important, please be sure to pay attention to safety.”

Judging from the other party's reply speed.

Shi Yufei must have been constantly watching the chat box, waiting for his reply.

This greatly moved Liu Yang.

Although her reply was just one sentence, Liu Yang could guess her mood at that moment.

Perhaps for Shi Yufei at this moment, his safety was more important than anything else.

Recalling what he was about to do.

And remembering the other party's hidden attribute as a lucky goddess, Liu Yang had a flash of inspiration.

“Um... could I shamelessly ask for a blessing from you?”

After waiting for about ten seconds, Shi Yufei agreed to his absurd request.

“I wish you peace and good fortune, smooth sailing in everything, and continuous good luck.”

“Thank you, you get some rest, we'll chat later.”

Having received the blessing of the Lucky Goddess, Liu Yang felt as if he had divine aid.

“Lucky Treasure Chest... here I come.”

Opening treasure chests is the most exciting part, so it naturally has to be saved for last.

Therefore.

【Unknown Skill Fragment: A skill fragment never before seen in records. If all fragments can be collected, perhaps the nature of the skill can be revealed.】

“This...”

“Forget it, the information is so vague, I'll just keep it as a collectible.”

Seeing the item's description, Liu Yang completely lost the desire to actively collect it.

Who knows how many pieces of this thing there are?

If he was lucky enough to encounter them without too much danger, he could try to acquire them.

Putting away the skill fragment, he took out the Lucky Treasure Chest.

【Lucky Treasure Chest: A special treasure chest, unranked. It may contain common items, or even mythical items, though the probability is minuscule. Therefore, what you obtain depends entirely on your personal luck. I bless you, young man, the chance to ascend to the heavens is before you. Believe in yourself, you can do it.】

“Amitabha, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Lucky Goddess Shi Yufei, bless me.”

“Lucky Treasure Chest.”

“Open!!!”

【You opened the Lucky Treasure Chest and obtained Primary Detector Manufacturing Blueprint x1, Excellent wind-thunder spiritual sword Manufacturing Blueprint x1, Intermediate Healing Potion Modulation Recipe x1, Primary Detoxification Potion Modulation Recipe x1, Mysterious Treasure Key x1, Advanced Cultivation Field x1, skill book page x500.】

【Second Kill skill upgrade conditions have been met. Do you wish to upgrade?】

“Upgrade.”

【Second Kill skill upgrade successful.】

【Second Kill Lv23: Unique skill, can 100% Second Kill creatures of the same level as the skill. For every level jumped, the success rate decreases by 20%. Each use consumes a certain amount of energy. The switch can be freely controlled. To upgrade to the next level requires skill skill book page x240.】

【Second Kill skill upgrade conditions have been met. Do you wish to upgrade?】

“Upgrade.”

【Second Kill skill upgrade successful.】

【Second Kill Lv24: Unique skill, can 100% Second Kill creatures of the same level as the skill. For every level jumped, the success rate decreases by 20%. Each use consumes a certain amount of energy. The switch can be freely controlled. To upgrade to the next level requires skill skill book page x250.】

“Awesome, absolutely awesome! The Second Kill skill leveled up twice in a row.”

“500 skill book pages, if I wanted to get them by killing monsters, without a place like the Book Tower, it would probably be difficult in this lifetime.”

“Indeed, having the blessing of the Lucky Goddess makes all the difference.”

“Perhaps next time I can ask her to help open a box and try?”

“Gamble a bit, bicycle turns into motorcycle; gamble a bit more, motorcycle turns into jeep. Place a bet tonight, start living in a villa tomorrow.”

“Indeed, there is no gain without effort.”

“A trip to the gates of hell, and I've gained so much!”

“If there's a next time, it would be even better if the difficulty could be lower and the rewards higher.”

“It's a pity I didn't get a mythical item!”

Calming his inner excitement, Liu Yang began to tally his gains.

The Second Kill skill had leveled up to 24, and he still had 138 skill book pages remaining.

Then there was a large pile of blueprints and recipes.

So Liu Yang took out the blueprints and began to use them one by one.

PS: It's almost 80,000 words, and I don't know how many people are reading, so I earnestly ask everyone who is reading to check in here, so I know I'm not just playing a single-player game. Thank you all!!!
