Naga Treasure Chest

This wasn't just a baseless guess on his part. He had found it strange long ago that the game "Sky World" never had a GM (Game Master) present, and there wasn't even a function to contact one. Later, he inquired on the forums and learned that the game was supposedly run entirely by a quantum computer and had a self-maintenance mechanism, disallowing direct data management. Therefore, even if a dead BOSS player wanted to be resurrected, the game company had to issue a prerequisite quest and initiate a resurrection storyline. Whether the player could be resurrected depended on the adventurer's efforts. In other words, even the game company couldn't directly manage the game's data, NPCs, etc.

However, game companies definitely need to guide and control some things in the game, so there is a rumor that some god-level beings in the game are actually played by GMs, including the Elune.

Although this rumor has never been confirmed, the sudden appearance of a divine projection in front of me is quite a headache, and I'm really wondering how to deal with her.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "I've come for the treasure, of course."

Naga Summoner (Shadow of Elune): "What treasure do you desire? Perhaps I can give it to you, but this vault must never be opened."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "You're dreaming. There are countless treasures in the vault. You think you can just take one or two and send me away? No way you're going to listen to that."

As Xiao Yu hesitated about how to answer, suddenly, a purple lightning bolt pierced the air and struck the Naga Spirit Summoner squarely in the chest. With a scream, the Naga Spirit Summoner was instantly killed, and the white beam of light vanished immediately, along with the mystical atmosphere that disappeared in an instant.

"Who!" Everyone turned around in unison, and Xiao Yu was stunned to see who had made the move— Lady Xiwadelin?

The Naga Tidecaller boss that escaped from Hydra City has reappeared, but its entrance is rather bizarre.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "You killed her? Why?"

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Tidecaller): "As she said before, the Naga are not a monolithic group. Some worship the Elune, while others worship those more ancient and great beings. I belong to the latter. My beliefs are completely different from hers; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call us mortal enemies. Of course, I can kill her."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "You came here alone, aren't you afraid of being killed?"

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Tidecaller): "You won't kill me unless you don't want to enter this vault anymore. Only high-ranking Naga priests have the authority to open it, and I happen to possess that ability. Of course, you can try to open it by brute force, but that will take quite a while. I'm afraid by then, the adventurers over there will have already decided their fate."

Xiao Yu turned around and glanced back. Although the battle was still fierce, the leaders of several guilds seemed to be intentionally pulling their members out of the battlefield, forming several distinct groups. Only the casual players were still recklessly charging at each other. It seemed that the battle was only a matter of time before it ended.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "You are willing to open the doors of this treasure vault for me? And what do you desire in return?"

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Tidecaller): "I want to join you; it is the will of the God I believe in. Although I see nothing special about you, the will of my Lord is inviolable, so--."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "What a great thing!" But he didn't dare to believe the other party's words alone.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Is your master the god you worship? Let me guess, is it the god of the sea? Or some unknown evil god?"

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Tidecaller): "Please forgive me for not being able to reveal my master's name, but I believe you will meet him someday."

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment. It seemed that things were already clear: either accept her help or kill her and take over. This Lady Xiwadelin obviously had ulterior motives. However, since NPCs had no human rights, he could just let her help him for now and kill her if things went wrong. He would see where she could complain then. With that thought, Xiao Yu had made up his mind.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Then swear allegiance to me, Naga!"

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Tidecaller): "I, Sivadrin, by the command of my Lord, swear allegiance to Azathoth, the Water Elemental Lord, and will serve him to the utmost until he betrays me, or he voluntarily terminates his oath with me."

System notification: Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Tidecaller) has sworn allegiance to you. Do you accept? Yes/No.

Of course I have to accept it! Although I don't know exactly what's going on, there's no time to hesitate now.

Having accepted Lady Xiwadelin's allegiance, she walked to the gates of the Lost Temple and poured energy into the enormous crystal ball above the gates. As the crystal ball was activated, the temple gates slowly opened to both sides.

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Yu and Qin Shiyue immediately led their men inside.

As sunlight streamed in through the main gate, the dark hall outside suddenly became bright. Inside, the hall was filled with treasure chests, layer upon layer, countless in number. A preliminary estimate suggested there were at least tens of thousands, or even more. Xiao Yu picked one up and examined it.

[Item: Naga Treasure Chest]

[Category: Treasure Chest (Cannot be put into inventory)]

[Attribute: Use to open a treasure chest and randomly obtain one of the following items.]

1. Randomly receive 1-999 gold coins.

2. Randomly obtain one piece of equipment of any quality, between Common and Legendary.

3. Randomly obtain an ancient relic.

[Item Description: A treasure chest crafted from coral and seashells, containing unknown treasures.]

(Wow, this is just a lottery! Tens of thousands of treasure chests, I'm rich! But wait, with so many chests, which one contains the Seed of Elements and the Water of Life? Oh well, I'll open a couple first.)

Xiao Yu opened one after thinking about it. It turned out that opening this box also required a loading bar, and it took five seconds to open one.

System notification: You have earned 7 gold coins.

Another one opened.

System notification: You have obtained an infantry longsword (normal).

Another one opened.

System notification: You have obtained Hardened Leather Armor (Normal).

Another one opened.

System notification: You have obtained a craft sculpture (common).

I opened seven or eight in a row, but didn't get a single piece of valuable equipment. They were all just basic items or a few gold coins.

Qin Shiyue also opened a bunch of accounts; because there were many players among them, dozens opened in just a short time.

However, the rewards weren't great; the best item I got was just a blue-quality piece of equipment.
