When two treasure chests gleaming with Golden Light, engraved with patterns both unfathomably profound and extraordinarily beautiful, appeared before Xiao Ran, he excitedly reached out with both hands. The icy sensation when he touched the chests, whose material he could not identify, intoxicated him.

At the same time, a message entered his mind.

"Ding. The participant has obtained their first system-recognized item. Personal Storage Space unlocked."

"Your current storage space is: 9 (9)."

"The Storage Slot can hold any item regardless of size. Identical items occupy only one slot. MS units and warships cannot be placed in the Storage Slot. Once MS weapon components or warship weapon components are removed, they cannot be stored again."

"There are two ways to expand storage space: 1. Use Merit Points to expand it; 2. Automatic expansion upon military rank promotion."

"Ding. The participant has obtained 2 Golden Treasure Chests. A Golden Treasure Chest can be broken down into two Silver Treasure Chests. A Silver Treasure Chest can be broken down into two Bronze Treasure Chests. A Bronze Treasure Chest can be broken down into two Black Iron Treasure Chests. This process cannot be reversed."

"Items obtained from opening treasure chests will automatically be placed in the Personal Storage Space. Please note that some items cannot be stored again once removed."

Hearing the system prompts, Xiao Ran's heart filled with joy. I never expected treasure chests could be broken down like that. It even unlocked storage space for me. I was worried something might come out of the chest that I wouldn't be able to put away. Now I don't need to worry about that.

Xiao Ran smiled as he prepared to open the chests, but the instant the thought arose, he hesitated. Looking at the two Golden Treasure Chests, he frowned slightly. "Golden Treasure Chests are definitely better than Silver Treasure Chests, but I have no idea what they can contain or how they differ from Silver Treasure Chests. Should I break one down and give it a try?"

After thinking it over, Xiao Ran Shook His Head slightly. "I should open one first and see."

"Open the Golden Treasure Chest." Xiao Ran touched the Golden Treasure Chest and silently spoke the words, anticipation rising within him.

Watching the chest in his hand turn into clusters of golden motes and slowly dissipate, Xiao Ran was briefly Stunned. He had expected some spectacular visual effect, but it simply became specks of light and vanished. His immense anticipation immediately turned into disappointment.

"Golden Treasure Chest opened. You have obtained the A-Class Skill: Luck."

"You have obtained the A-class mecha plugin: Atomic Repair Robot."

"You have obtained the B-class Mecha plugin: Power Shot Module."

"You have obtained the C+ class complete component: Complete Energy Deflection Armor."

"You have obtained 5 attribute points."

"You have obtained 1,000 Merit Points."

I'm rich! The moment Xiao Ran saw what he had obtained, that thought exploded in his mind. The corners of his mouth shot upward, and the excitement on his face was beyond words.

Closing his eyes, he saw the phantom image of nine slots arranged in three rows and three columns appear in his mind.

Several items rested quietly in the first few slots: a Golden Treasure Chest; something resembling a disc; a cube that seemed to be constantly flowing; a square object with a section missing from its center, covered in numerous patterns and interfaces; and lastly, something Xiao Ran was familiar with—two pieces of Energy-diverting Armor belonging to the Forbidden Gundam. Each armor piece was connected to a Mechanical Arm, though no backpack was attached.

"Luck: A-Class Skill. Luck increases. Item acquisition chance increases by 20%. There is a 20% chance of obtaining additional rewards and a 10% chance of increasing reward quality. Cannot be upgraded."

"Atomic Repair Robot: A-Class plugin. Consumes 50% energy to repair 50% of a mecha's damage level. Cannot repair severed limbs. Cooldown: 24 hours. Uses remaining: 10/10."

"Power Shot Module: B-class Mecha plugin. Outputs energy at maximum power to a ranged weapon, increasing the range, power, and duration of the weapon's next attack. Cooldown: 20 minutes."

"Complete Energy Deflection Armor: Divided into left and right units. When both are used together, they can generate a field that deflects beam attacks. When used individually, the direction of beam deflection is unpredictable. Each use consumes 30 energy."

A pleasant sensation surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. The enormous surprise nearly left Xiao Ran dizzy. Setting aside the attribute points and Merit Points, a single Golden Treasure Chest had yielded so many good things: an A-Class Skill that could be called godlike, an A-class and a B-class plugin that could both play crucial roles, and especially that final complete component. Once Xiao Ran obtained a mecha, it could dramatically increase his survival rate. How could he not be thrilled by such treasures?

"Godlike skill. It's absolutely a godlike skill. A skill that can increase item drops is definitely godlike in this world!" Xiao Ran closed his eyes and sensed the A-Class Skill in his Personal Storage Space, feeling his heart pound with excitement.

Awesome! Xiao Ran roared inwardly, then turned his attention to the A-Class Skill—the disc-like item.

"Do you wish to learn the skill?"

"Learn it!" Xiao Ran answered without hesitation. Of course he had to learn such a godlike skill immediately. Besides, there was still another Golden Treasure Chest waiting to be opened.

After Xiao Ran confirmed his choice, the A-Class Skill Luck in his Personal Storage Space flickered slightly. Then he saw the disc seemingly emerge, slowly scattering into a mass of golden motes that instantly merged into his body. He felt nothing at all, as though it had never appeared.

But in his attributes, the skills section was no longer empty. A lone skill, yet one representing limitless potential, had appeared there.

Looking at his no-longer-empty skill bar, Xiao Ran grinned again. Whether it was the two plugins or the Energy-diverting Armor, the combined value of all the other items was far inferior to this skill in Xiao Ran's eyes. Even if he had received nothing else but this skill, he would have been completely satisfied.

It was not simply because the other items were currently useless to Xiao Ran. More importantly, the increased drop rate and improved item quality would allow him to obtain more, and even better, things. Accumulated little by little, they would bring him enormous benefits—benefits far exceeding the combined value of everything else. This would also become the absolute foundation for Xiao Ran to establish himself in Prometheus.

An increased drop rate meant more items, while increased quality meant better items. Even if he had no use for them, he could trade them with other participants. Xiao Ran believed that a place like Prometheus would certainly have somewhere like a marketplace.

He lightly patted his chest twice to calm himself down, then Looked Towards the remaining Golden Treasure Chest. He no longer wanted to break it down. Even if it became two Silver Treasure Chests, or even more Bronze Treasure Chests and Black Iron Treasure Chests, Xiao Ran believed they would never be as valuable as what a Golden Treasure Chest could yield—especially with such an insanely powerful skill as Luck.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ran eagerly opened the final Golden Treasure Chest. Just as before, the chest scattered into motes of light and disappeared, after which Xiao Ran heard the system prompt.

"Golden Treasure Chest opened. Affected by the skill Luck, you have obtained the A-Class Skill: Scrap Dealer."

"You have obtained D-class Skill Space Combat Proficiency: LV1."

"You have obtained 6+1 attribute points."

"You have obtained 3,500 Merit Points."

"You have obtained 3+1 Part Fragments."

"Two skills! I actually got two more skills!" Xiao Ran excitedly danced about, and not even the wound on his right arm splitting open again could stop him. If he had not been floating in the room, he would probably have already been jumping and bouncing around on the floor.

"Scrap Dealer: Merit Points can be consumed to dismantle and recover destroyed mecha and warships. There is a certain chance of recovering plugins, Part Fragments, and complete components, as well as a certain chance of dismantling failure. D-class mecha costs 1,000 Merit Points, C-class mecha costs 2,000 Merit Points, B-class Mecha costs 5,000 Merit Points, A-class mecha costs 10,000 Merit Points, S-class mecha costs 20,000 Merit Points, and warships cost 20,000 Merit Points. Cannot be upgraded."

"D-class Space Combat Proficiency: LV1. Allows slight proficiency in combat in space and grants a preliminary sense of spatial awareness."

"Part Fragments: Collect five Part Fragments and consume 500 points to obtain one random D-class component. Collect fifteen Part Fragments and consume 2,000 points to obtain one random C+ class component. Collect fifty Part Fragments and consume 5,000 points to obtain one random B-class component. Collect one hundred Part Fragments and consume 15,000 points to obtain one random A-class component. Collect three hundred Part Fragments and consume 50,000 points to obtain one random S-class Component."
