Chapter 185: Chapter 165: Need for Treasure, Exaggerated Harvest
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Richard was somewhat excited as he continued to walk deeper into the city.
However, there were no instances where the treasure hidden inside was of a higher level. It was still mainly rare resources, with 1-star and 2-stars equipment and materials as support.
He looked very carefully. He would think about whether or not every piece of equipment would have effects on Twilight City troops. After he made sure there were no effects, he would give up even if it was a 4-stars treasure.
After a long time, he found the second and third items.
There were two blueprints. One could use these blueprints together.
[Dragon Hunting Crossbow Blueprint (Permanent)]
[Level: 4-stars]
[Characteristics: Can be mass-produced 4-star dragon hunting crossbow bolts.]
[Attributes: Sharpness increased by 200%. Penetrability increased by 200%. Additional armor-piercing damage. Two hundred percent penetrability to heavy armor. Three hundred percent additional damage to dragons.]
[Required Materials: 500 units of crystal, 500 units of sulfur, 500 units of mercury, 100 units of refined iron (requires iron ore smelting), special-class blacksmith.]
[Description: Crossbow bolts specially designed to deal with high-armored lifeforms. They can pierce through dragons!
******
[Dragon Hunting Crossbow (Permanent)]
[Level: 4-stars]
[Attributes: Can be mass-produced 4-stars dragon hunting crossbow.]
[Attributes: Each dragon hunting crossbow can be mounted with 10 arrows. The shooting range is 800 meters. Arrow flying speed increased by 300%. Attack power increased by 300%, with piercing property causing additional damage to heavy armor units. Hit increases by 70%. When using dragon-hunting crossbow arrows to attack, the shooting range is increased by 200 meters. Other attributes doubled.]
[Required Materials: 5,000 units of mercury, 5,000 units of sulfur, 5,000 units of crystals, 1,000 units of fine iron, fascia of dragons or mixed-blood dragons above level 15, special-class blacksmith.]
These two 4-star blueprints could be used to create a terrifying heavy weapon — the dragon-hunting crossbow.
Before entering the dungeon, when the venom griffins attacked Twilight City, the sight of the ground troops staring at them was always a thorn in his heart.
Twilight City exceedingly lacks such a powerful heavy weapon.
Richard’s eyes shone.
The venom griffins would not dare to act so recklessly with this weapon. As long as there were 20, no, 10, or even 5 of them.
Moreover, it was not easy to obtain such a high-level item.
This was also top-tier equipment that one could use in the later stages.
He kept it.
After he memorized the location of the two blueprints, Richard’s interest grew.
More good things could be hidden in this treasure warehouse.
He continued to explore.
This time, he did not let go of any corner. He would take the ladder next to him and explore them even if beyond his reach.
In this kind of treasure warehouse, if he missed any storage space, he might miss equipment with endless uses.
His hard work paid off. Two hours later, he found the fourth treasure in unremarkable upper storage space.
[Two-way Teleportation Door]
[Level: 4-stars]
[Characteristics: Can place a pair of teleportation doors that one can open in two directions within 50 kilometers.]
[Description: An intensely rare treasure.]
It would not be an exaggeration to say it was priceless if used well.
Although Twilight City did not have any use for it at the moment, one could only find this thing by chance, so one had to keep it.
The smile on Richard’s face was extremely bright.
Good guy.
The harvest this time was huge.
These few treasures entered the account, giving Twilight City some foundation.
It was comfortable.
There was only one more item left.
Richard couldn’t hold back the anticipation in his heart and continued to search.
This time, his eyes became even pickier.
He ignored all the treasures that looked good before.
Time gradually passed.
Two, three, and five hours later, he had explored more than half of the entire treasure warehouse.
He found three candidate items. They were all 3-stars strategic treasures with good attributes.
He saw a few 4-star items, but these did not match his level.
For example, some items could increase the healing effect of a radiant priest or increase the strength of a church knight… One look and it was obvious they were items he had seized.
Richard became impatient over and over again.
On the 12th hour after he entered the treasure warehouse. Finally, an item that made his heart race appeared in a storage box in front of him.
[Dark Contract]
[Level: 4-stars]
[Characteristics: After defeating an enemy, you can forcefully contract the other party, enslaving their soul and making them obey orders eternally.
[Restrictions: 1. The contestant’s mental strength must be exceedingly weak. Once the will to resist is strong, the contestant will suffer a backlash.
[2. The contestant can not be higher than level 3. Otherwise, the contract will directly fail.]
[3. The highest level of the contestant can not exceed 15 levels. After the contract, the restriction will be lifted.]
[4. The contestant can not be a life form of the light faction.]
[Introduction: This is a contract made by a powerful evil life form. There is surging power surging on it.]
Richard’s eyes shone.
Dark Contract, 4-stars treasure…
Although there were a series of restrictions, they did not affect the power of this treasure.
This meant that as long as he could find a suitable contract partner, he could immediately gain a powerful fighting force.
Moreover, this thing was mandatory. As long as the other party could not resist, he could forcibly enslave it.
A figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
God’s Ancient Tree — that level-10 boss unit!
The other party perfectly fulfilled the dark contract’s restrictions.
More importantly, God’s Ancient Tree had sublimely sturdy potential.
Just the fact that the other party could breed poisonous wasps on a large scale. And after leveling up, they could also breed wasps of higher levels. This unit had an immeasurable value.
As long as he planted the other party near the jujube field, he did not need to send troops to guard it. He could just rely on this boss to defend it.
An intense excitement rose in his heart.
Fortunately, he did not impulsively take away the other treasures.
This contract represented a boss that was stronger than hero units.
Until now, the five items he had chosen were all confirmed.
[Between the Oaths — a 3-star treasure. It could connect the lives of two squadrons of soldiers, sharing 50% of the damage.]
[Dragon-hunting crossbow and dragon-hunting crossbow arrow — A 4-star blueprint. It could be used to create powerful heavy crossbows, a great weapon to defend a city.]
[Two-way Teleportation Door — A 4-star treasure. It could be placed within 50 kilometers and could be used for two-way teleportation.]
[Finally, this was the Darkness Contract — A 4-star treasure. It could forcefully contract non-light faction lives, and its value was immeasurable.]
After a bit of calculation, the corners of Richard’s mouth curled up.
The benefits of this S-rank mission were simply too great.
Dimension stone, void sandworm, bathing in dragon’s blood, five top-tier treasures…as well as the extraordinary hunter and its creation blueprint.
He just wanted to ask, would he be able to stay in this dungeon forever in the future?
Not only was this trip not in vain. It was practically going to heaven.
It was comfortable.
Richard, who was in a great mood, did not delay. He touched the magic shield with the crystal one by one and took out the treasures he had chosen one by one.
When he took out the last one, the crystal shattered with a crack and turned into powder.
There was no loophole.
Richard was not greedy. He walked out of the treasure warehouse with five pieces of equipment with a smile.
The guards outside immediately went forward to register the items and asked him to sign them with his fingerprint.
Richard put the equipment into the system space after the procedures were completed.
After he left the door, the first thing he saw was Knowles. It was sleeping soundly in the corner of the treasure warehouse.
When Richard saw the dwarf’s comical sleeping posture, his heart warmed.
Although this dwarf had a good personality, it could give him a mechanical puppet at the level of an extraordinary hunter at a critical moment. It was a decent person.
This guy could handle it.
He took a few steps forward and was just about to wake him up when Knowles suddenly opened its eyes.
When he saw that it was Richard, something instantly energized it.
He hurriedly said.
“Richard, how is it? What did you take out of the treasure warehouse?
“Did you see the ores in the corner? Did you bring them out?”
Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Knowles, I didn’t notice those ores… Besides, don’t you still have several ores in your warehouse?”
Knowles suddenly lost interest when it heard this.
It twitched its mouth.
“Stupid humans are indeed not as smart as dwarves. They don’t know what’s good.”
It stretched its back as he spoke.
Its said weakly.
“Let’s go. President Jones has returned. Let’s go see him…”
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and sighed.
“Your subordinate outside was brought back by Ferguson two weeks ago.
“I have to say that you’re lucky. Those two mummy heroes have high potential.
“They’ve been studying in the Resplendent Wizard Tower these days. Maybe you’ll be surprised when you see them.”
Richard was a little surprised.
Did Gunter return? And both had been studying in the Resplendent Wizard Tower of the Scarlet Council?
