Chen Lin was stunned to reel in a Qi Luck Treasure Chest on his very first cast.
Not daring to delay, he pulled the chest ashore. Just as he was about to inspect it, a phantom image of a golden toad appeared over the lake.
"Honored guest, your luck truly is extraordinary. However, the contents of Qi Luck Treasure Chests vary greatly in value, and you may not receive a treasure that satisfies you. You may choose to sell it to me instead. My standard purchase price is twenty Nightmare Coins."
The golden toad phantom's mouth opened and closed, uttering words that made Chen Lin pause.
To think it even bought these things back.
Still, the price seemed rather low.
Judging by the three chests He Changhong had caught, every one of them seemed to have been worth more than twenty Nightmare Coins. One treasure box had even contained a hundred Nightmare Coins outright!
Even so, Chen Lin was tempted. A treasure box would not necessarily contain Nightmare Coins, and he had few left on him.
Once he exhausted his Nightmare Coins, he would no longer be able to fish.
"Thank you for the reminder, but this is the first Qi Luck Treasure Chest I've caught. I'd like to try my luck."
In the end, Chen Lin politely declined.
Even with the Qi Luck Gloves, he could not guarantee he would catch a Qi Luck Treasure Chest. If it contained an Origin Orb, selling it would be a disastrous loss. Even if it held some other special, high-grade treasure instead, the trade would still not be worthwhile.
Besides, the Qi Luck Gloves consumed a great deal of his own qi luck. He could not use them repeatedly. If he let this chest slip away, he might never have another chance.
