Chaos Key
"This is..." Luo Jun squatted down in front of the stall and picked up a small plastic box.
The small box is about the size of a palm, with cartoon patterns resembling those of an amusement park drawn on it. It has a small window in the middle and a button on the side. The overall design is cute and the colors are bright, making it look like a toy given away with a children's meal at a fast food restaurant.
What is this?
Luo Jun was interested in this thing because it exuded an aura far stronger than the surrounding Blue Sky White Clouds; it was at least an Epic-level treasure. The problem was, its appearance didn't reveal any particular use...
The energy swept through, and the specific information obtained is as follows.
Name: Chaos Key
Grade: Epic
Introduction: A mysterious being, due to an accident, ended up in the human world. In order to return to his homeland, he used a toy he received as a free gift in a package deal to research this treasure. However, this thing can only allow him to return temporarily; he still has to spend most of his time in this unfamiliar world.
Function 1: Indestructible: This Noble Phantasm cannot be destroyed. If it suffers an attack exceeding its maximum withstand limit, it will automatically become intangible to evade it.
Function Two: Chaos Grand Lottery: Activate by pressing the button and simultaneously injecting One Hundred Breaths Vital Energy. After activation, one of the following five effects may occur:
Effect 1: Randomly triggers a Tier D Chaos Mission.
Effect 2: Randomly triggers a Tier C Chaos Mission.
Effect 3: Randomly triggers a Tier B Chaos Mission.
Effect 4: Blocks the summoning of Chaos Mission for thirty days.
The effect is that nothing happens in five rounds.
This feature has a 30-day Cooldown Time.
Note: Chaos Mission unlocked through a lottery will replace the user's next chance to be summoned by Chaos Mission.
Note: Come on, let me see what I drew!
This feature caught Luo Jun's eye. He never imagined that there were treasures in this world that could influence the Chaos Mission.
This is a good thing. Luo Jun was worried before that since he had entered the Chaos Mission through the identity of Ye, what would happen if Luo Jun's identity could no longer be recruited? If it was only once or twice, he could use the excuse that he happened to receive the mission while off-campus and did not have time to return to the special zone to prepare. But if Yueyue said it like this, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
That's great! With this thing, the task problem can be completely solved, right?
However, as Epic Treasure Item, it can only unlock one Tier B Mission at most, which poses no challenge to Luo Jun at his current level. But he wasn't going there for a challenge anyway, so it didn't really matter to him.
Moreover, when Luo Jun saw this feature, an idea popped into his head: maybe he could pull off something unconventional.
"How much is this?" Luo Jun asked the stall owner, holding the Chaos Key.
The sect leader, a short, stout middle-aged man, raised an eyebrow. "This is Epic-level treasure, with a very rare function. If you want to take it, you'll have to trade at least two Epic-level treasures for it!"
For Cultivators, money isn't entirely useless, but it's certainly not their first choice for transactions. People with extraordinary abilities never lack ways to make money. For them, many precious artifacts are priceless, and their value is difficult to measure with money alone. Therefore, the black market is mostly about bartering, with money merely a scrap used to make up for the difference.
"Two epics?" Luo Jun scoffed. "Epics are ranked, you can't just say there are two."
"Don't bother looking if you can't produce it. Let me tell you, plenty of people are asking about this treasure, and I won't sell it even if they offer less!" The short, fat man was extremely arrogant, clearly very confident in his prized possession.
Luo Jun thought for a moment, then put down the Chaos Key and turned his gaze to the other treasures on the stall.
Aside from the Chaos Key, there were only two other rare items on the stall; the rest were common or excellent. Judging by the Protective Qi Strength, he should be at the high level of the Foundation Establishment Realm or the Heart Condensation Realm Initial Stage. In short, his overall strength wasn't very strong. If Luo Jun were to evaluate him, he would only be a Tier B player.
For Tier B player to obtain Epic Treasure Item through Chaos Mission, they would most likely have achieved Perfect Evaluation once... But if that were the case, they would be promoted to Rank A, and in Luo Jun's opinion, it would be a bit of a stretch for them to complete Tier A Mission.
If Luo Jun were him, in this situation, he would probably use the Chaos Key to replace the mission, allowing himself to complete several rounds of low-level missions first, and then consider doing Tier A Mission once he became stronger. But in that case, he would never sell this life-saving Fate Dao for money.
The fact that he could display this thing clearly means he doesn't need it, which indicates that he probably didn't obtain it from the Chaos Mission. Considering the stall owner's identity, it's highly likely that he acquired it through a transaction.
Someone took a liking to something on his stall and made a deal with him using it. But he didn't need it, so he hoped to use the Chaos Key to exchange for something he did need.
Judging from the items he displayed, two were of rare quality: a firearm and a throwable consumable. The fact that he was selling these things indicates that he wasn't lacking in ranged weapons. So, what about melee weapons?
Luo Jun thought for a moment, then took out the Kai Ren Qi from the Hundred Treasure Box, while simultaneously mentally rolling a die.
"Exchange the Chaos Key for the Kai Ren Qi!"
Two pairs of dice begin to spin, one pair showing 15 and the other showing 35.
"My luck's a bit off," Luo Jun frowned, but still chose 35 points.
"Ding, Event Difficulty 63 points, Final Points 35 + 15 points, Event Failed."
It failed as expected, but not by much, which means his analysis was probably correct. We should still give it a try.
"What do you think of this one?" Luo Jun handed over the Kai Ren Qi.
Sure enough, the stall owner's eyes were immediately drawn to the rusty dagger. After examining it for a while, he looked away greedily, swallowed hard, and said, "This counts as one. And the other one?"
"This is the only one I have." Luo Jun shrugged. "Is it okay to exchange it for just this?"
"That's impossible!" the stall owner refused outright. Luo Jun was prepared for this outcome, and snatched back the Kai Ren Qi: "Then I'll browse around some more..." He turned and left.
Since he hadn't succeeded this time, Luo Jun planned to wander around again and try again when he had a chance to come back. But to his surprise, the stall owner called out to him as soon as he turned around.
"Wait... it doesn't necessarily have to be two epic items. You can add a Rare-level to that sword too!"
Luo Jun was slightly taken aback, then realized that the Chaos Key couldn't be exchanged for just the Kai Ren Qi. But it didn't say it had to be two epic items; any extra items would do...
If I go out for a walk and then come back, the stall owner will definitely think I value this item highly, making it harder to bargain... And it wouldn't be good if someone else bought it during that time... Bringing in a Rare-level along with it isn't unacceptable.
In Luo Jun's view, the Chaos Key, a powerful tool, is definitely more valuable than the Kai Ren Qi.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Jun turned around and said, "Rare won't do, I can add a superior one."
"One fine piece? That's far too few!"
"But I really don't have any Rare Treasure Item left." Luo Jun shook his head regretfully, stood up as if to leave, and intentionally or unintentionally waved the Kai Ren Qi in front of the stall owner.
Seeing this, the stall owner gritted his teeth and said, "One item is definitely not enough... at least two!"
"Make a deal!"
Luo Jun smiled slightly and took out two treasures that faintly glowed with Green Light from the Hundred Treasure Box.
