Chapter 2

Ignoring the hustle and bustle below, Xu Yuan looked at the attribute panel in front of him and fell silent.

[Name: Xu Yuan]

[Role: Treasure Chest Merchant]

[Level: Level 0 (0/100)]

[Skill: None]

[Talent: 100-fold return (Unique)]

[Strength: 5]

[Stamina: 5]

[Intelligence: 5]

[Essence: 5]

[Agility: 5]

The attribute panel was a little strange. According to the usual practice, the five basic attributes of a level 0 role were generally ten points, but Xu Yuan’s was only half.

Other than these, the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly the unique talent.

[100-fold return: When you sell the chest, no matter what others take from the chest, you will receive a hundred times the return!]

“Selling chests?”

Xu Yuan was slightly stunned. He then opened his skill panel, which was also different from that of a normal role that Xu Yuan was familiar with.

The later stages, paths, opportunities, and resources of the five major professions were different, so the skills they possessed were definitely different.

However, for a newly awakened level 0 role, the initial skills would definitely be the same.

For example, no matter if you were an Ice Mage, Fire Mage, or the unique Potion Mage or Alchemy Mage, the first skill of a Mage would definitely be Arcane Missile.

However, Xu Yuan’s skill panel was blank.

No, it wasn’t blank. There was only a row of treasure chests on the skill panel.

The treasure chests were of different colors and patterns. The only similarity was that they all had a big question mark on them. Most of the treasure chests were dim, and only the first three were glowing faintly.

[Currently unlocked treasure chests: Basic Skill Treasure Chest, Basic Equipment Treasure Chest, Basic Consumable Treasure Chest]

Xu Yuan’s gaze fell on the treasure chest, and immediately, a message was sent into his mind.

[Mysterious Chest: Congeal a treasure chest. You can choose to open it yourself or sell it. The price of a Basic Treasure Chest must not be less than 10,000 magic gold. The cooldown time is 24 hours, and it will decrease as you level up.]

[Basic Skill Treasure Chest: You can obtain Level 0-20 Skill Scrolls. The skill quality is random from White Normal to Gold Epic!]

Xu Yuan was slightly stunned. Although he had just awakened his role, he knew that the quality of skills and equipment ranged from low to high. They were White Normal, Blue Excellent, Green Special, Purple Rare, Orange Legendary, Gold Epic, and the legendary Red Mythical.

The skills and equipment used by most of the roles were basically white to green.

Having a few purple skills or equipment was already considered powerful. As long as one had a gold skill or equipment, then he was one in ten thousand.

That was because regardless of whether it was a skill or equipment, it was extremely difficult to obtain them. If one wanted to obtain an Orange Legendary skill or equipment, it was very likely that they would have to go through a near-death experience, and they would also have to pay a countless price and spend a lot of time.

And here, he only needed to open one treasure chest?

Xu Yuan’s eyes lit up slightly. The disappointment caused by awakening a special role instantly disappeared, and he was even a little excited.

No, not only that. There was also the talent [100-fold Return]. If he sold the treasure chest, he would receive a hundred times the return!

What did this 100-fold return mean?

Xu Yuan could not wait to test it out. He nodded at the staff member and walked down the stage calmly.

Just like Lin Mucheng, everyone’s eyes were focused on Xu Yuan. However, everyone’s eyes were a little strange, and some even gloated.

After all, they had all seen Lin Mucheng’s intimate actions toward Xu Yuan.

One had awakened two roles, while the other was a special role that everyone looked down on.

In this way, the two of them were destined to have very different futures. They were sure that Xu Yuan was destined to be abandoned.

Everyone was hoping to see disappointment and a breakdown in Xu Yuan’s expression.

However, the result was that Xu Yuan was completely focused on his treasure chest’s ability and completely ignored the surrounding gazes.

Some people were disdainful of his behavior, and some felt that he was pretending. But there was one person who secretly nodded.

In the sky, a middle-aged man wearing crimson armor that emitted orange divine light and riding a griffin watched everything happening below.

The staff member was right. This person was Lin Zhenhua, who was ranked seventh on the Global Combat Strength Ranking.

His daughter’s Awakening Ceremony was such an important matter, so how could he not come to watch?

“Xu Yuan indeed has a good temperament. He could stay calm in honor and disgrace. He’s just like his father. Isn’t it just a special role? Although a grown-up special role is not good at combat, he has a unique ability. In terms of status, those on the combat strength ranking sometimes will ask for his favor.”

Lin Zhenhua’s inner thoughts were completely different from those below who wished to see Xu Yuan make a fool of himself. They stood at different levels, so naturally, they saw different things.

He had known Xu Yuan since Xu Yuan was a little child. Although he was unhappy that his daughter was too close to Xu Yuan sometimes, he still admired Xu Yuan’s personality.

Below the stage, Xu Yuan had already returned to Lin Mucheng’s side. Lin Mucheng looked at Xu Yuan worriedly, then said softly, “Xu Yuan, it’s fine. It’s just a special role. I’ll ask my father to get a bottle of Baptism Potion!”

When the surrounding people heard this, they instantly exploded. Good heavens, Baptism Potion. This kind of consumable was an Orange Legendary item.

Why did it sound like a random item which could be gained with no effort in Lin Mucheng’s words? The others thought, “You think you can get it casually? Who do you think your father is?”

Some of them were outspoken and even mocked her directly. The face of the staff member on the high platform instantly darkened. He was afraid that someone would say something dirty and really anger Lin Zhenhua, who was secretly observing from somewhere. He subconsciously shrank his neck.

Perhaps others might not be able to obtain the Baptism Potion, but it was not too difficult for Lin Mucheng.

At the same time, the envy and jealousy in his heart for Xu Yuan were burning. He wished that he could replace Xu Yuan and have such a strong backer.

Then, the next sentence Xu Yuan said instantly stunned him.

“Uh, my role is pretty good. There’s no need to trouble yourself!”

What kind of joke was this? Lin Mucheng had taken the initiative to offer Xu Yuan the extremely precious Baptism Potion, but Xu Yuan actually refused!

However, Lin Mucheng didn’t think too much about it. She asked curiously, “Then what is your role?”

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and then smiled. “I’m a merchant now. I sell chests for ten thousand magic gold each. Do you want to buy one?”

The people around them started to curse. After the game merged with reality, the items produced in the secret realm had an impact on the financial currency in reality. Although the currency in reality had not completely disappeared, it had already begun to be linked to the precious metals produced in the game.

Ten thousand magic gold was equivalent to one million yuan in real life. This was definitely a huge sum of money. Many people would not be able to save so much money in their lifetime.

In the end, Xu Yuan asked for one million yuan at the drop of a hat. Good heavens, he was so shameless.

What was even more unexpected was that Lin Mucheng immediately agreed. She smiled and said, “Of course I want to buy the chest you’re selling!”
