Chapter 236 -163: Discussion on How to Open Treasure Chests, Splendid Star Palace’s Stars Map_2

To open the treasure chest or not, that is the question…

“Is there a way to open the chest without being affected by its contents?”

Unfortunately, both the Valkyrie and Trinity Lion’s command options don’t include opening the chest.

Otherwise, Lin Xun could have his summoned beings open it on his behalf…

“Got it!”

With a sudden slap of his thigh, Lin Xun conceptualized a brilliant strategy.

He put down his phone, concentrated slightly, and a small sand hammer appeared in his hand.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

The dark gold sand hammer was slightly different from the last time it appeared.

The mallet, the size of a mineral water bottle, was more vivid in color. It felt cool to the touch, was heavier, and the miniature maid etched on the head of the hammer had transformed into a beautiful girl with wings made of refined copper.

The wings behind the girl fluttered as she prepared for battle, pulling out her longbow.

With a slight smile, Lin Xun began his special operation.

He slightly swung the sand hammer, a rustling sound emerged from it…

From the corner of the rental room, a stunningly beautiful girl appeared out of thin air.

She was dressed in a short, light purple kimono, revealing her snow-white slender thighs.

The strap wrapped around her waist accentuated her thin figure, making her considerable bosom even more noticeable.

A pair of folded metallic wings were on her back, carrying a longbow and a quiver.

With her beautiful face lifted, she walked towards Lin Xun. Her dark golden hair swayed slightly, and her matching eyes were pure and spirited.

She kneeled before Lin Xun, paying her respects.

The opening of her kimono was slightly large so that from his vantage point, he could catch a glimpse of her rounded features…

Of course, Lin Xun’s point of interest was not on this. He noticed that the skin of ‘The Combat Angel – Valkyrie’ seemed more human-like compared to the previous ‘assistant maid doll,’ or rather, it was indistinguishable from a real person.

There were no visible metallic seams on her body, and the mechanical spring that should have been on her back had disappeared without a trace.

‘The Combat Angel – Valkyrie’ looked like a normal human girl in every way.

Of course, her weapons and metal wings needed to be ignored for that.

“Can you understand what I’m saying? And can you speak?”

‘The Combat Angel – Valkyrie’ nodded, then shook her head.

“Too bad, without the ability to speak, many functions are limited…”

He stroked his chin, expressing some regret.

“Like this, I will summon you later in the clinic. When you see the chest, go and open it…” Lin Xun started to speak but then hesitated, “No, that’s not quite right. In the future, as long as I initiate an attack on the chest and the chest doesn’t react, you must…”

“No, that’s not right either. In the future, if you see a chest, shoot at it. As long as the chest doesn’t change, you go and open it.”

“Before I give you a sign to act, I will throw an ‘Unknown Creature’s Eyeball’ as a secret signal.”

“Do you understand?”

The girl nodded affirmatively.

Originally, he planned to throw a ‘Stinky Feces Stone,’ as he had plenty of them in his inventory for opening chests.

Throwing it seemed somewhat unsanitary, but luckily Bennett had sent him a box of eyeballs.

Of course, these eyeballs had more uses than just that…

After Lin Xun got everything set with the Valkyrie, he shook the sand hammer again. With the rustling sound, the Valkyrie disappeared into the rental room.

He picked up his phone and summoned the Valkyrie in the game.

[With the beautiful rhythm of the rustling sound, you have summoned the Watcher ‘The Combat Angel – Valkyrie’.]

[The gorgeous long-haired girl steps out from the void, wearing a light purple short kimono and sporting a pair of giant wings of refined copper on her back…]

Lin Xun opened the item listing, took out an eyeball from the refined copper box Bennett had just given him, and chose to discard it.

[You threw an ‘Unknown Creature’s Eyeball’ (junk item)].

He quietly stepped back a bit, giving the Valkyrie space to open the chest.

[‘The Combat Angel – Valkyrie’ removes her longbow, pulls an arrow from the quiver, and shoots…]

[She sees the treasure chest undisturbed, stepping forward boldly and opening it without hesitation…]

[You see nothing but a tattered piece of canvas in the chest…]

[Brave Apostle, do you dare to reach in and take the item from the chest?]

Lin Xun dismissed the quirky tone of the underworld game, clicking ‘Yes’.

[You have obtained a ‘Fragmented Stars Map’ (Special Item)]

He had obtained an item of the same name back at the ‘Ancient Books Library’ of the Multivision Association.

[‘Fragmented Stars Map’ (Special Item), …if you can find the missing parts of the paper and piece them together, something unexpected might happen. The special item is currently incomplete and cannot be used.]

[You notice the ‘Fragmented Stars Map’ fits perfectly with the one you already have.]

[Do you wish to piece the two ‘Fragmented Stars Map’ together, to restore the canvas to its original state?]

Lin Xun did not think twice, pressing ‘Yes’.

[You put the two ‘Fragmented Stars Map’ together, the irregular seams on the edge of the canvas line up perfectly, restored in its prime.]

[A stunning starlight blooms on the two canvases, and when the light disappears, the countless shining stars drawn on it, connect into a majestic palace.]

[You obtained a ‘Complete Splendid Star Palace Map’ (Special Item)]

[‘Complete Splendid Star Palace Map’ (Special Item), a vibrant oil painting featuring countless stars flowing within the galaxy, with stars connected by starlight forming a grand and majestic palace.]

[Using this item, you will be summoned by the ‘Master of Stars’ to enter His divine palace— the ‘Splendid Star Palace’.]

Lin Xun widened his eyes, looking at the text before him.

“After all that treasure digging, all the underworld game has for me is an item of doom?”

For those who pledged their allegiance to the ‘Bright Stars’ faction, this item could be seen as a huge reward…or maybe not. Considering the past behavior of the ‘Son of Stars’, even those who join the Stars’ vow might end up at a loss.

But the ‘Complete Splendid Star Palace Map’ for him at this moment, is like a chicken rib, dangerous when consumed, and yet too valuable to discard.

Lin Xun didn’t know how to react. Perhaps, it was best to just smile at this moment.

Just as he was about to put away this item of doom, the game suddenly displayed another message.

[In the corner of the clinic, countless leaping chaotic characters appeared out of thin air. The characters gradually assembled to form a huge colossal beast.]

[The beast is made entirely of chaotic characters, which are still altering their shapes. Simply looking at the beast makes you feel disorder and confusion.]

“The Beast of Chaotic Knowledge… Did I make another mistake? What’s the meaning of this, Almighty True Knowledge?” Lin Xun frowned, puzzled. Suddenly an idea occurred to him: “Could Almighty True Knowledge be telling me to use this item?!”

[Seeing the sudden appearance of the colossal beast, ‘Combat Angel—Valkyrie’ quickly put herself between you and the beast.]

[She draws an arrow and pulls back her longbow forcefully…]

Lin Xun was already a defector, going to meet the ‘Master of Stars’ would be like delivering himself to their doorstep.

‘Almighty True Knowledge’ wouldn’t ask him to commit suicide, so perhaps he simply hadn’t yet understood the deeper meaning.

[With a whoosh, the arrow chased with a white whirl, transforms into a shooting star and shoots towards the beast…]

[The shooting star pierced through the beast’s body, countless characters shattered and scattered…]

[Your ‘Watcher’ has defeated the ‘Beast of Chaotic Knowledge’. You didn’t gain any experience.]

“Does the Almighty want me to infiltrate the ‘Splendid Star Palace’ from within by joining their vow? No! As a defector, I can no longer rejoin the vow I’ve violated.”

Feeling like a blind man trying to solve a riddle, Lin Xun wasn’t able to understand the intention of the ‘Almighty True Knowledge’.

If ‘Almighty True Knowledge’ had wanted him to infiltrate, the ‘Servant of Knowledge’ would not have directly invited him to join the vow.

Moreover, with the ‘Almighty True Knowledge’s overwhelming battle strength, they could have beaten the Stars faction in the god’s war, scattering them all over.

Having absolute power, these tricks seemed rather redundant.

[Some of the characters that scattered from the ‘Beast of Chaotic Knowledge’s body were attracted to you, merged into your body…]

[Your ‘Blessing of Knowledge +4’ has increased to ‘Blessing of Knowledge +5’. Following an overload of acquired knowledge, once again the upper limit of Knowledge that can be obtained has increased!]

[The other shattered characters did not fade away, but instead, gathered to form a large character shining with white light.]

[You are all too familiar with this character, as if it is deeply engraved in your mind. It is the same mysterious character you saw on the chest of the ‘Servant of Knowledge’ when you first entered the ‘Temple of Knowledge’.]

[You have been summoned to the ‘Temple of Knowledge’!]

[Do you want to touch the character and teleport to the ‘Temple of Knowledge’?]
