Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 235 - 204: The Jinyuan Zhao Family Pledges Allegiance (Part 2)

After he finished speaking, Wang Yi turned to Jelena. "A fish with golden scales is no mere pond-dweller; with the right storm, it will Transform into a Dragon. Daughter, I believe this Mr. Zhao Wukang has the potential to become a pillar of the Military Affairs Office in the future. You must give him a proper reception and not slight him in any way! Of course, that goes for everyone from the Zhao Family."

"I understand!"

Jelena nodded and couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Zhao Wukang.

"Continue your discussion about the settlement!"

Wang Yi let go of Zhao Wukang’s hand and used the Identification Machine on the others, but the results were far from ideal.

Seeing that Great Benefactor Zhao and the others wouldn’t come to a conclusion anytime soon, Zhao Mei sidled up to Wang Yi. "My Lord, please come with me. There are some supplies I need to hand over to you personally!"

She led Wang Yi onto a cargo ship, where several specially made iron chests sat on the deck.

"And these are?" Wang Yi asked curiously.

Zhao Mei said, "Gold Coins. A full four hundred thousand of them! These Gold Coins used to be the Zhao Family trading team’s risk management fund. But now that the Zhao Family’s team is merging with your Fire Dragon Trading Team, you’ll be our safety net, so these Gold Coins are yours now. Please use them as you see fit; don’t hold back!"

"400,000 Gold Coins? Excellent, excellent! How bold!"

Wang Yi nodded. ’I’ve really struck it rich this time,’ he thought.

’400,000 Gold Coins... How many days would I have to spend repairing cars to earn that much?’

Zhao Mei then pointed to a few smaller Treasure Chests and continued, "I haven’t obtained many system items. I’ve opened basically all the Chaos Blind Boxes, and I rarely hatch Chaos Eggs because I don’t want too many new people who are related to me..."

"Inside these chests are a total of six Green Chaos Eggs, three Blue Chaos Eggs, thirteen Chaos Crystal Stones, four Fertile Land Vouchers, one set of Construction Drawings for a Wind-and-Water Wheel, one set of Construction Drawings for a Four Seasons Yellow Apricot Tree, as well as one Tuxedo Outfit and one Black Crown Outfit. They are all for you! My Lord, please inspect them!"

"Excellent!"

Wang Yi accepted gladly and immediately opened the chests to look.

He wasn’t particularly concerned about the nine Chaos Eggs, since they would hatch into relatives. Unless they had exceptionally outstanding abilities, Wang Yi wouldn’t hatch them.

The lack of any Chaos Blind Boxes was a shame.

In Wang Yi’s experience, wild Treasure Chests, Chaos Blind Boxes, and the like were probably non-renewable resources, becoming increasingly rare in the Typhon World.

Wang Yi quickly found the Fertile Land Vouchers, the Construction Drawings for the Wind-and-Water Wheel, and the Construction Drawings for the Four Seasons Yellow Apricot Tree, and unceremoniously took them.

He briefly checked the Attribute Information of the two Construction Drawings. The Wind-and-Water Wheel was a large windmill that also functioned as a waterwheel. It could use wind power to draw water from a river for irrigation and other tasks, making it a type of agricultural building.

The Four Seasons Yellow Apricot Tree was similar to the Four Seasons Peach Tree. Both were resource buildings that could produce yellow apricots year-round without interruption.

As for the two sets of men’s outfits, the Tuxedo Outfit was so-so, and Wang Yi didn’t particularly like it. The Black Crown Outfit, however, made his eyes light up.

The Black Crowned Robe was a set of ancient-style formal wear with black as the main color. It featured a long robe with large sleeves, and the outer robe was embroidered with some Dark Gold dragon patterns. It came with a Pearl Crown, a Waistband, a hanging Jade Pendant, and jade slippers. It had two special effects: auto-clean and auto-mend. Once worn, it would automatically bind to the user, becoming untradeable and undroppable thereafter.

Wang Yi was currently wearing coarse linen clothes, not much different from an ordinary villager from Eggshell Village. Because he often crashed his vehicle and fell to the ground, his clothes were caked with dirt, which was completely at odds with his current identity as "Yang Jian."

Now, upon seeing the Black Crown Outfit, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy. With a single thought, the outfit instantly equipped itself onto his body. He flicked his long sleeves and immediately felt much more refreshed and dignified.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Wang Yi praised it aloud. ’The Black Crowned Robe is a bit like a black Dragon Robe,’ he thought. ’Wearing this kind of ancient attire will actually pair well with my Bronze Vintage Car.’

Seeing that Wang Yi was almost done with his inspection, Zhao Mei took out a Storage Bracelet. "My Lord, my personal belongings are inside this. Please hold onto it for me for the time being. Return it to me after I am reborn and have reclassified. There’s nothing really valuable inside, just some Gold Coins, materials, clothes, jewelry, and some other women’s things. You can have a look!"

Wang Yi quickly waved his hand. "Just leave it with me for now. I’ll keep it safe for you!"

Zhao Mei then took a Reclassification Certificate from her robes. "This is a Proof of Promotion to Supreme Pill Master! The Pill Dao Venerable is the class I want to change to. It’s an Advanced Profession that can grow through Cultivation and has a level system. Unsealing this Reclassification Certificate requires 2,000 points of Chaos Energy. I must ask you, My Lord, to help me unseal it and give it back to me after I am reborn so I can reclassify!"

"Of course. You can leave it with me!"

Wang Yi took the Reclassification Certificate, gave it a cursory glance, and put it away.

This Reclassification Certificate was very high-level, but it wasn’t enough to tempt him.

"I am betting my life and fortune on you, My Lord. You mustn’t fail me!"

"I won’t, don’t worry! I’m not that kind of person!"

Zhao Mei nodded, her expression turning serious. "Then please help me reclassify, My Lord. The first step is that I must be reborn! Please take me to Bright Pearl Island!"

"Bright Pearl Island? Is that the East Sea Resurrection Point you mentioned?"

"Yes! To become an Adventurer, I either have to destroy my Heart of Chaos or die once. Either way, I have to lose a life. Dying once is relatively faster. I plan to kill myself on Bright Pearl Island. If nothing goes wrong, I will immediately revive at the resurrection point on the island. When that happens, I’ll have to ask you to fish me out, My Lord."

"No problem. When do you plan to do it?"

"The sooner the better, of course. Right now would be best!"

"You’re not going to say goodbye to your father and the others from the Zhao Family?"

"I’ve already said my goodbyes!"

"Alright! Let me put away my Bronze Vehicle, and then I’ll take you to Bright Pearl Island!"

Wang Yi didn’t waste any time. He quickly went to put away the Bronze Vehicle and then brought out the Galaxy Airship.

Things were still busy at Eggshell Pier, but Wang Yi left with Zhao Mei, heading swiftly for Bright Pearl Island.

Wang Yi didn’t know the specific location of Bright Pearl Island, but Zhao Mei did. She was now in charge of giving directions. Glancing at the relaxed and carefree Wang Yi, she asked, "Aren’t you bringing any guards, My Lord?"

"No need. I’m actually very strong myself! Possibly the strongest in the territory!"

Wang Yi wore a relaxed smile.

He had spent a good amount of time on Yamero Star, where he had replenished a large amount of Chaos Energy. He had also completed the Refinement of a Vein Gold Mine, two Tao Steel Mines, and two Starlight Rivers, absorbing them into his body. As a result, his Physique had been greatly enhanced. Even when his Great Sage Avatar with its King-level Combat Power attacked him, it was like striking iron—he was completely unharmed. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was now Vajra Indestructible.

’Besides, I still have 16 million Chaos Energy left over, with ultimate moves I have no chance to use. I’m actually kind of hoping I’ll run into a world boss or something so I can have a good fight.’

"Oh, that’s right. I’ve witnessed your abilities firsthand, My Lord! I’m very curious, My Lord—back during your decisive battle with the Eco-Dominator in the World of Suffering, how did you summon all those Celestial Soldiers and Generals? Did you use an item?"

"I invited them!"

"Can you invite them again?"

"Sure!"

"I don’t believe it. Even if you can, you must have to pay a huge price, right? Otherwise, it would be too unbalanced!"

"The price is indeed steep. An ordinary person couldn’t possibly afford it!"

Wang Yi nodded. ’A single use of the Phantom Clone ultimate move costs 10 million Chaos Energy. The average Player simply can’t afford that,’ he thought.

Zhao Mei said, "Anyway, I feel like being a Lord is too restrictive. You can only lay low, you need bodyguards wherever you go, and you have to worry about your base being raided whenever you step out! Being an Adventurer seems more fun—you’re free and unfettered, and you can even show off in front of others! What do you think, My Lord?"

"You don’t have to call me ’My Lord’ anymore. I’m neither Sun Wukong nor Yang Jian. My secular name in this world is Wang Shanhe."

As he spoke, Wang Yi shook his head.
