CHAPTER 262: CHAPTER 243: PREPARING FOR THE THIRD TRANSFORMATION

After crossing the luxurious Ice and Snow Palace, Lin Yi and his group saw a glistening ice corridor stretching before them.

Once they pass through this corridor, they will enter into the realm of White Tiger City.

At the center of the corridor stood a giant ice sculpture platform, blocking the path.

On this platform, a large, unadorned treasure chest caught everyone’s attention.

Besides that, there was nothing else.

Seeing this, someone couldn’t help but quietly complain:

"Is this the treasure vault we risked our lives for? Isn’t it a bit too shabby?"

Tian Ci joked from the side:

"Could there be a Divine Artifact in there?"

Handsome Zha wrinkled his brow and said:

"Just based on the term alone, there’s a big gap between this scene and what we imagined."

Even Shengshi Drunkard, who was full of expectation, felt his heart sink.

The journey here was tough, and the Shengshi Dynasty Guild had paid a huge price, not to mention Luoshen and Proud Sanctuary, who helped them.

According to the agreement once this is over, just compensating these major guilds would be a huge expenditure.

If the final outcome is just some insignificant rewards, this would be a great embarrassment for Shengshi.

Shengshi Drunkard suddenly regretted suggesting they start a live stream!

Wasn’t this just digging a pit for himself!

Unless a Sacred Artifact appears inside, otherwise, it would be a great loss.

The live stream audience was also stunned by the scene before them.

The treasury suddenly turned into a large treasure chest, the immense gap between the two leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Did we go to the wrong place?"

Amidst the whispers and discussions, Lin Yi suddenly took out a key from his backpack, then stepped towards the treasure chest and said:

"We’ll see if we’re in the wrong place."

Shengshi Drunkard quickly adjusted his mindset and then instructed those behind him:

"Everyone wait here, no one is allowed to approach without my permission."

When Lin Yi stepped out of the palace towards the corridor, only the presidents of the major guilds followed behind him.

Mu Lingxue, holding Zhang Xinying and Wang Zixin, followed along.

Seeing the copycat expression on Shengshi Drunkard’s face, Lin Yi couldn’t help but offer words of comfort:

"It might not be as bad as you imagine. Don’t be so pessimistic."

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Shengshi Drunkard’s eyes brightened:

"Do you know something?"

At this moment, even the presidents of the major guilds perked up their ears, wanting to hear Lin Yi’s unique opinion.

Noticing everyone’s gaze, Lin Yi chuckled and explained:

"Don’t you know the phrase: hide one’s talents, don’t judge a book by its cover?"

For some reason, Shengshi Drunkard, who was a bit anxious earlier,

after hearing Lin Yi’s words, although Lin Yi didn’t say much.

But for some reason, Shengshi Drunkard suddenly felt a sense of assurance.

He had a premonition that what was inside this treasure chest would not disappoint him.

Lord Proud Gaze chuckled from the side:

"Let’s see what amazing treasures can come out of this unadorned treasure chest."

Luoshen Liunian said:

"Don’t say that, even I’m starting to feel a bit excited now."

Lin Yi stood before the treasure chest, and just before the event ended, Lin Yi inserted the key into the keyhole:

"Click!"

Although everyone had prepared themselves mentally, at the moment the treasure chest opened, their hearts couldn’t help but leap.

Many things are simple in thought, but when actually confronted, it’s hard to remain calm.

This feeling might be particularly profound for Shengshi Drunkard.

After all, for Luoshen Liunian and others, they were merely there to see the excitement.

"Creak" sounded as Lin Yi reached out to fully open the treasure chest.

At this moment, everyone witnessing this held their breath, eyes fixed, awaiting the final reveal of the reward.

The treasure chest at this moment was like Doraemon’s pocket, and everyone was very curious about what Lin Yi could pull from it.

Shengshi Drunkard took a deep breath and said:

"Let’s begin."

In the eyes of Shengshi Drunkard and others, the inside of the treasure chest was pitch black, with nothing visible.

But in Lin Yi’s eyes, at the moment the chest opened, a dazzling light burst forth from within.

And the contents of the treasure chest were clearly visible, leaving Lin Yi deeply amazed.

"What is it?"

Seeing Lin Yi gazing at the treasure chest, Shengshi Drunkard anxiously asked.

Not long after, Lin Yi suddenly chuckled, not saying anything, and kept people guessing.

Then Lin Yi remained silent, merely reaching in to take out something.

"What is that?"

As Lin Yi unfolded the item in his hand, everyone was taken aback:

"Gold bars?!"

(1 gold bar = 500 gold coins)

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Just then, Lin Yi casually placed the gold bar on the ice next to him, and then took out a handful more:

Everyone was shocked again:

"More?"

And it wasn’t over!

Watching Lin Yi continuously pull out one gold bar after another from the chest, everyone’s scalp tingled:

"This many?"

This scene left the live stream audience staring wide-eyed.

Knowing that one gold bar equals 500 gold coins, at least 25,000 in reality coins!

Seeing the pile of gold bars at Lin Yi’s feet, viewers in the live stream drooled with envy.

Someone roughly calculated that Lin Yi had taken out about three hundred gold bars.

If converted to reality coins, that’s at least seven or eight million.

For most players, this heap of gold bars was already out of reach.

For many, this was perhaps a massive fortune.

But for Shengshi Drunkard, this could only be considered a pleasant surprise.

After pulling out the last gold bar from the box, Lin Yi said to Shengshi Drunkard:

"All the gold bars inside are here."

Shengshi Drunkard responded with a nod, then with a wave of his hand, he collected all the gold bars on the ice into his backpack.

The players watching the livestream were filled with envy.

Shengshi Drunkard looked at Lin Yi again:

"Is there more?"

Lin Yi smiled slightly:

"Of course."

What appeared in Lin Yi’s hand next were two eggs, instantly causing a gasp around:

"Pet Eggs!"

Lin Yi handed the two pet eggs to Drunkard and said:

"Two rare pet eggs, not bad."

Then Lin Yi continuously took out three pieces of over-level-30 legendary equipment;

Four pieces of over-level-30 epic level equipment;

And more than ten pieces of rare grade equipment;

Five types of rare spirit grass and minerals each;

Then it was all miscellaneous items.

Although no mythical level equipment appeared, Shengshi Drunkard was still content.

After all, besides Lin Yi’s Cyan Dragon Stone, no mythical level equipment had appeared yet.

The heated "Secret Treasure Battle" concluded amid sighs.

At farewell, Shengshi Drunkard gave the one and only Mage’s Bracelet among the three legendary level equipment to Lin Yi:

"If it weren’t for you today, perhaps I wouldn’t have gotten such a generous reward. This is just a small token of my gratitude, I hope you don’t refuse."

Then he also gave Lin Yi 100,000 gold coins, which Lin Yi accepted with a smile and jested:

"Remember to find me next time for such good stuff."

Shengshi Drunkard laughed heartily:

"Definitely!"

...

After returning to Black Tortoise City, Lin Yi said to everyone:

"I’ll be undergoing my third transformation in a bit, you guys can either log off to rest or do whatever you want, feel free to move around."

"Then starting tomorrow we will shut in to level up, aiming to get everyone to level 30 within a week, any questions?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, it was Tianci who spoke up:

"Boss Feng, next time you don’t need to ask that question, whatever you say, we’ll just follow, who would have objections!"

Lin Yi shrugged nonchalantly and said:

"Alright, it’s settled then."

Hearing this, Tianci quickly pulled along Red Eyes and Shuai Diaozha:

"Let’s go, let’s relax."

Red Eyes curiously asked:

"Where to?"

Shuai Diaozha chuckled:

"Don’t ask, just follow, log off."

Red Eyes:

"What about my sister?"

Tianci pointed at Zhang Xinying:

"Sister Feng is here, aren’t you worried about Zixin being wronged."

Wang Zixin was also well-behaved, speaking to Red Eyes from the side:

"Brother, you go play, I’ll sleep with Sister Ying later."

Zhang Xinying wrapped an arm around Wang Zixin’s shoulder and said to Red Eyes:

"You go ahead, I’ll be with her later, don’t worry."

Red Eyes felt grateful towards Zhang Xinying and said:

"Thanks, Sister Feng."

Zhang Xinying chuckled:

"Come back early, don’t stay out too late."

Shuai Diaozha:

"Don’t worry, we won’t be out too late."

Lin Yi:

"Diaozha, aren’t you going for the third transformation?"

Shuai Diaozha:

"No rush, I’ll do it tomorrow, I’m off now."

At this time, Zhan Chen had already approached Shiyu and said:

"Come, I’ll take you for some late-night snacks."

Shiyu thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Zhan Chen was delighted, and they both logged off in succession.

Zhang Xinying glanced at Lin Yi and advised:

"You should also finish early and get some rest."

Lin Yi nodded:

"I know."

After everyone logged off, only Dongfang Jing remained and said to Lin Yi:

"After the third transformation, go to White Tiger City to find Mage Guild President Hamisen Luthor."

Lin Yi was taken aback:

"Find him for...?"

But before Lin Yi could finish asking, he saw Dongfang Jing had already logged off.

Lin Yi wasn’t too concerned and turned to the Mage Guild for the third transformation.

During the second transformation, a new close combat profession came out, Lin Yi was curious about what new skills would appear in the third transformation.
