A video went viral online when Xu Yuan and Lin Mucheng drank milk tea and watched the three flash among zombies.

In the video, a beautiful girl was holding a treasure chest. Then, the treasure chest shone brightly, and orange light shot into the sky.

“What is this?”

“The particle effect in this video is a little fake. After studying animation for three years, this was all you could produce. Suck!”

“Hey, didn’t you notice? This girl is pretty!”

“Pretty? Damn it, this is called gorgeous! I’ve already fallen in love with her!”

“I want to get all the information about this girl right now! If not, I will blame everyone who watched this video!”

In the beginning.

The idiotic netizens from all over the world thought that this was just a video with additional special effects.

Until someone from Spring City left a comment below, claiming a legendary ability was obtained from this treasure chest.

“It’s fake, right?” Of course, the netizens didn’t believe it. “Trying to deceive people with a little particle effect? Ha! Naive.”

However, when they patiently watched, coupled with the occasional comments of the Spring City account, which also matched the words before…

Only then did they realize…

All of this seemed to be real. Was there really an Orange Legendary Skill Scroll in that treasure chest?

“Treasure Chest Merchant?”

“Is there really such a role?”

The netizens expressed that they had never heard of it. They continued to play the video and soon saw the moment when Xu Yuan explained the details of the treasure chest to the people around him.

“The ability treasure chest always gives out a Skill Scroll.”

Everyone was stunned. “Really?”

Skill Scrolls were extremely rare and could not be obtained even with a large sum of money.

And the Treasure Chest Merchant’s treasure chests could actually produce a fixed number of Skill Scrolls? It could even produce legendary grades and above.

“The girl in the video is called Lin Mucheng. Her father is the Conqueror of the Red Land, Lin Zhenhua!”

“Hiss…”

This news shocked the netizens.

“Lin Mucheng took out an Orange Legendary Skill Scroll from the box… I was at the scene then and saw it with my own eyes…”

This real-time comment was sent by a student from Spring City High School. “When the scroll was born, a strange phenomenon appeared from the sky and attracted the attention of many people. At that time, an unreasonable person wanted to buy the scroll from her at a low price.”

“Moreover, that person even wanted to force Xu Yuan to sign a contract and only sell him treasure chests in the future…”

Another Spring City IP replied, “I was there too, and I’m a classmate of Xu Yuan and Lin Mucheng!”

“I also…”

More and more witnesses jumped out and said, “That unreasonable person is called Zhang Deqiang. He’s from Spring City. I think he’s the boss of a company in Spring City. You should be able to find him online.”

Everyone quickly pulled the progress bar of the video and returned to the previous time.

The netizens had thought it was just a well-scripted performance, but now many eyewitnesses had jumped out and spoken with certainty.

They were shaken.

Some people took out their phones and quickly searched the internet.

Some people contacted their relatives and friends in Spring City to ask about the news.

It was the information age. Any news would spread quickly. The strange phenomenon in Spring City High School had already caused a stir in the city.

Then, with the help of the netizens, this incident became even more popular and soon became a hot topic on the internet.

“Treasure Chest Merchant!”

This special role that had never appeared before caused a huge sensation in society.

“An Orange Legendary Skill Scroll from the Basic Skill Treasure Chest? There’s actually such a thing?”

“He can create three treasure chests in a day, corresponding to ability, equipment, consumable… Hmm, interesting.”

The netizens went crazy.

Secretly, the various forces in China were also paying attention to this matter.

Outside Spring City, in the hidden palace.

Yin Yue had just sat down when he heard a report from outside. “Guild Leader, Guild Leader Xu of the Mage Alliance has arrived.”

“And the commander of the Red Flame Legion, Commander He Ying…”

Other than the two, there were also many familiar faces who came to visit at the same time.

Yin Yue sighed.

He already understood why these people came.

“Bring the leaders to the living room. I’ll be there soon.” After giving his orders, he entered his room alone and came out a moment later. After several flashes, he went straight to the living room.

“It’s rare to have all of you here.” Yin Yue’s handsome face had a warm smile.

Six high-spirited big shots sat in the large living room, staring at Yin Yue from the moment he entered.

“Why have you gathered here today at my place?” Yin Yue asked despite knowing the answer.

As soon as he sat down, the middle-aged man on the other side of the round table asked excitedly, “Guild Leader Silver Moon, what did you and Mr. Lin talk about when you entered the City Lord’s Mansion? Is it convenient for you to tell us?”

This person was the commander of a legion in Spring City, and his name was He Ying.

The remaining few were the guild leaders of the major role guilds.

Yin Yue remained calm under the gazes of these people. “My two subordinates were rude and offended Mr. Lin’s daughter. I personally went over to apologize…”

The guild leaders scoffed in their hearts.

Rude and offended?

Without your instructions, would they have gone?

However, they didn’t want to expose him at the moment and instead waited anxiously for him to continue.

A moment later.

“No more?” Xu Jie of the Mage Alliance was slightly stunned. “You followed Mr. Lin into the City Lord’s Mansion just to apologize?”

“What else?” Yin Yue shrugged.

He would never tell anyone he had bought three-day treasure chests from Xu Yuan!

After he brought them back, he would secretly open them to avoid being targeted by these old foxes.

“That…” The Knight Guild’s leader Zhou Nian didn’t want to beat around the bush and asked directly, “Guild Leader Yin Yue, have you come into contact with the young man who sold the treasure chest?”

“Yes.” Yin Yue nodded. “His name is Xu Yuan.”

“Is the news on the internet true?” He Ying asked.

An hour ago, he was still out of town. After receiving news from his confidant, he rushed back.

“It’s true.” Yin Yue swept his gaze across the rest of the people present and said, “Guild leaders, you should have witnessed the phenomenon, right? I just don’t know if you’ve seen Mr. Lin attack.”

Everyone in Spring City knew about the commotion in the morning.

Other than Guild Leader He Ying, the rest of the people present must have sent out spies to gather information as soon as the phenomenon appeared.

They were definitely not fated to see the big shot on the Heaven Roll make a move.

Yin Yue was also out of luck.

Moreover, he had also lost two of the guild’s core members…

“I heard that Guild Leader Yin Yue sent his elite subordinates and two children to train in the secret realm outside the city?”

The leader of the Assassin Alliance, who had been silent since he sat down, said in a deep voice, “Guild Leader Yin Yue, you really care for this junior?”

Yin Yue’s eyes flashed with displeasure at his sinister tone.
