After opening, the Diamond Treasure Chest vanished into thin air, followed by a system notification:
"You have opened a Diamond Treasure Chest."
"You have obtained Reincarnation Points ×3000."
"You have obtained Life Skill Scroll ×1."
"You have obtained Character Image Sculpting Card ×1."
Aside from the Skill Scroll and a card he had never heard of, Chen Feng hurriedly took both items.
"Life Skill Scroll: Go (Grandmaster Level)."
"Character Image Sculpting Card: Use before entering a Reincarnation World. Allows character customization on the eve of entering the next Reincarnation World."
When Chen Feng saw that the Skill Scroll was actually for Go, he nearly spat out blood.
Normal Grade Reincarnation Worlds were safe as long as one did not court death, and there was no penalty for failing the mission. Therefore, even Skill Scrolls obtained from treasure chests after receiving high ratings were all Life Skill Scrolls.
Chen Feng could have accepted scrolls for things closely tied to daily life, such as driving or cooking. Even English would have been useful for future exams. But Go...
Ever since the Reincarnation Sacred Hall appeared and Life Skills could be learned through Skill Scrolls and upgraded, people skilled in all kinds of sports, specialized trades, and similar fields had nearly all faced the awkward prospect of unemployment.
After all, even someone who only ran Simple Grade instances could eventually master a skill given enough time.
However, the Character Image Sculpting Card made Chen Feng's eyes light up. This was the so-called face sculpting.
He could completely create a good image for himself before entering that world and secure a favorable start.
After thinking it over, Chen Feng still decided to learn the Go skill. Skills were divided into five levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, master, and grandmaster. No matter the skill, reaching Grandmaster Level required a massive amount of Reincarnation Points. As long as one could learn them, the Reincarnation Sacred Hall allowed one to learn ten thousand skills. More skills never hurt.
With that in mind, Chen Feng immediately learned the Skill Scroll. In an instant, countless pieces of Go knowledge flooded his mind, turning him from a Go idiot who only knew Gomoku into a Go grandmaster.
Chen Feng then teleported directly to the Exchange Zone and opened the exchange list. It displayed a dazzling array of items—equipment, potions, skills, bloodlines, everything imaginable. But there was only one word for it: expensive.
Even a Life Skill like English (Beginner) required 5,000 Reincarnation Points to exchange for. Seeing that made Chen Feng feel much better.
One Attribute Point cost 500 Reincarnation Points. Chen Feng still had 18,078 Reincarnation Points. After some thought, he decided to keep 3,000 for emergencies and exchange the rest for Attribute Points.
Of the 30 Attribute Points, he assigned 6 to Constitution, 16 to Strength, and 8 to Agility. Chen Feng's attributes became:
Strength: 29
Agility: 24
Constitution: 30
Spirit: 20
Unassigned Attribute Points: 0
Life Skill: Go (Grandmaster)
Combat Skill: None
Bloodline: None
Reincarnation Points: 3078
Overall Rating: F+
Special Identity: Sister Guanyin's Fated Person (In any world related to Journey to the West, affinity with Guanyin increases.)
Special Quest Locked: Find the Heaven's Chosen (In any grade of Fantasy Westward Journey world, you will receive a Side Quest to find the Heaven's Chosen. Completing it can greatly increase your rating.)
Item: Reincarnation World Cooldown Refresh Card ×1
Item: Twin Heart Lotus Seeds ×4, all attributes +5 upon consumption
Item: Character Image Sculpting Card ×1
Chen Feng's physical attributes were already two or three times those of an ordinary adult, and his rating had directly reached F+. This was the result of receiving SSS-Class Evaluation rewards. Those who could only earn D-Class or C Rank evaluations might need one or two years to attain such attributes.
After finishing all that, Chen Feng chose to leave the Reincarnation Sacred Hall. A person could only spend eight hours in the Reincarnation Sacred Hall each day. They could teleport in at midnight, but once they left, they could not enter again. Thus, many people spent their time resting and having fun in its residential district.
When he returned home, it was already past one in the morning. Chen Feng heard the faint sounds of breathing from his parents' room and knew they had returned. He, too, went to sleep.
When Chen Feng was woken by his alarm the next day, breakfast had already been laid out on the dining table in the living room. His parents had gotten up early and gone to work.
Chen Feng looked at the breakfast, then at the cramped house, and silently resolved that he would make these two parents, who loved their son so dearly, live good lives. It would also count as compensation for taking over the original owner's body.
After eating, Chen Feng took the bus to school. Although he did not want to attend, twelve years of compulsory education was a national requirement. All minors had to finish high school or face enormous fines. This was also a new rule introduced after the Reincarnation Sacred Hall appeared.
After all, not everyone could make a name for themselves in the Reincarnation Sacred Hall. Far too many ended up with nothing to show for it.
"I wonder where that Reincarnation Master came from. He actually made the Reincarnation Sacred Hall broadcast an announcement across all spaces for the first time in history. An SSS-Class Evaluation."
"Yeah. A lot of people online are offering rewards for a Simple Grade strategy guide to the Fantasy Westward Journey world. The highest offer has reached eighty million."
"Eighty million? Does that guy have money to burn? It's only a Simple Grade world."
"Simple Grade? As if you'd dare run a Normal Grade World. I remember seeing incomplete statistics online saying that over 80 percent of people worldwide spend all year grinding Simple Grade worlds."
"Quick, check the Reincarnation Forum! Someone leaked the missions in the Fantasy Westward Journey world!"
The people on the bus, who had been discussing things animatedly, were stunned by the news. They all pulled out their phones and opened the Reincarnation Forum app.
The driver, a man in his fifties, gently shook his head and slowed down slightly, trying to make the bus less bumpy.
After all, when he was young, he had relied on the driving skill exchanged from the Reincarnation Sacred Hall to obtain this stable job.
Chen Feng also took out his Rice 10MAX and opened that scam-ridden forum he had originally planned never to visit again.
Upon opening the forum, the bright red title pinned at the top was exceptionally eye-catching—<Decoding the SSS Evaluation—Insider Reveals How Overpowered the Reincarnation Master Is!>
When he opened the post, it clearly introduced Jianye City's basic situation and its missions. However, it did not mention where to find Old Man Sun, the mission trigger, merely glossing over it.
It mainly explained that the mission required a large amount of that world's currency, yet they had not been given a single cent upon entering that world. They could only find ways to make money, but even the alliance formed by all seven of them had not been as fast as the Reincarnation Master alone.
Finally, it emphasized that completing the mission might result in facing drowned ghosts, making it the highest difficulty level of a Simple Grade world.
The information was completely useless in Chen Feng's eyes, but to everyone else, even the tiniest mission hint had to be bought with money.
This was especially true for wealthy people. They might be unable to enter the Reincarnation Sacred Hall for various reasons, but they provided their children with the best possible conditions.
Many second-generation and third-generation heirs had advisory teams behind them to analyze intelligence and formulate mission plans. Thus, the information revealed in this post was truly valuable.
The first reply to the post was the offer of eighty million to purchase a strategy guide. Chen Feng chose to ignore such information for the time being. He would only sell the guide in his possession once he had a foolproof plan.
