Chapter 71: Opening Until Hands Go Numb
Inside the exclusive room, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, a strange feeling washing over him.
"Bubu, is this bed a few centimeters lower than before?"
Just about to take out the treasure chests, Su Xiao looked down at the bed beneath him, feeling something was off.
Bubu Wang looked around with confusion, examined the bed for a moment, then shook his head, his gaze seemingly saying, "Master, it must be your imagination."
Taking advantage of Su Xiao's distraction, Bubu Wang turned his head sideways. He had already grasped the 'true essence' of dismantling the house—taking it apart bit by bit was the way to go, no slippers thrown at him. For example, this time he had gnawed the four bed legs three centimeters shorter.
"..."
Su Xiao stopped worrying about the bed. He took out a large number of treasure chests from his storage space. Seeing these chests, Bubu Wang jumped directly onto the bed; he needed to help open the chests, as there were simply too many.
[Golden Chest x1 (Tuanzhang)]
[Light Gold Chest x1 (Wo Jin)]
[Dark Purple x1 (Xin Chang)]
[Dark Purple x1 (Fei Tan)]
[Green Chest x102]
[Blue Chest x23]
Su Xiao sat among the chests, which were so numerous the bed could barely hold them. He had only one thought: he had struck it rich.
He gathered the chests of Dark Purple quality and above together. These chests needed to be opened with the Lucky King state. As for the Green and Blue chests, they could be opened directly. The Lucky King state only lasted 2 minutes, and with over a hundred Green and Blue chests, the Lucky King time was far from enough.
[Your follower, Bubuteni, has temporarily transferred the item acquisition rights.]
Bubu Wang transferred the item acquisition rights to Su Xiao. From now until the chests were all opened, all the gains from opening chests would be concentrated with Su Xiao for easier selling.
Su Xiao picked up a Green chest and opened it in his hands.
[You have opened a chest (Green).]
[You have gained 1500 Paradise Coins.]
...
As expected, these Green chests were a bit watery, but fortunately, there were many of them. One chest might not yield anything good, but ten could always produce something valuable.
[You have opened a chest (Green).]
[You have gained 1100 Paradise Coins.]
[You have gained a Sharp Bone Claw (Blue quality weapon, rating 32).]
...
This was a good start. There was a chance to get items of higher quality than the chest itself, but the probability was low.
Taking a White chest as an example, the chance of getting a White item was 63%, Green item 1%, Blue item 0.03%, and Purple item 0.00049% (almost zero). Luck was also part of strength.
This information was obtained by Su Xiao using his Hunter privileges. Only data on White chests was available; data on Green chests could not be queried due to insufficient privileges.
...
[You have opened a chest (Green).]
[You have gained 1200 Paradise Coins.]
[You have gained a Worn Leg Bone Hammer (White).]
...
Another routine 'black hand' moment. Su Xiao continued opening chests.
[You have opened a chest (Green).]
[You have gained 1300 Paradise Coins.]
...
[You have gained 2600 Paradise Coins.]
[You have gained a Superior Bone Claw (Blue material).]
This time it was opened by Bubu Wang. The happy dog wagged his head, looking as if he could barely suppress the 'primordial force' inside him.
What did it mean to open chests until your hands went numb? This was exactly Su Xiao's situation.
One Green chest after another. After a few minutes, he had already opened over twenty Green chests.
He casually picked up a Green chest and opened it, then immediately reached for another. Before his hand touched the next chest, a green glow made him instinctively turn his head.
A flash! After opening over twenty Green chests, a flash finally occurred.
[You have gained 2000 Paradise Coins.]
[You have gained Soul Crystal (Small) x1.]
[You have gained Dark Touch (Green necklace).]
...
A necklace made of various animal teeth appeared in Su Xiao's hand. He immediately checked the item's attributes.
[Dark Touch (Fine)]
Origin: Hunter x Hunter
Quality: Green
Category: Pendant (Jewelry equipment is a rare item)

Rating: 30 (Maximum rating for Green quality)
Description: The will of darkness is enveloping you.
Price: 3200 Paradise Coins.
...
This item was useless to Su Xiao, but for a first-rank mage, it was a rare treasure. Selling it for between 8000 and 13000 Paradise Coins should be no problem.
After one flash, Su Xiao opened another dozen Green chests without any more flashes. Not long after, Bubu Wang had a flash.
[You have gained 2500 Paradise Coins.]
[You have gained a Soul Bone Ring (Green equipment, rating 30).]
[You have gained a Leather Top (Green equipment).]
...
Twenty minutes later, Su Xiao and Bubu Wang finished opening all the Green chests. He began tallying the gains.
Paradise Coins obtained: 183,600. White equipment: 10 pieces. Green equipment: 24 pieces. Blue equipment: 3 pieces. After selling these, it would be another large sum of Paradise Coins.
With the Green chests done, it was time for the Blue chests.
There weren't many Blue chests, only 23. Su Xiao opened one directly to test the value of Blue chests.
[You have opened a chest (Blue).]
[You have gained 3800 Paradise Coins.]
...
Undoubtedly, this Blue chest was a bit of a 'black hand' open, but even so, it contributed 3800 Paradise Coins, showing the gap compared to Green chests.
Su Xiao and Bubu Wang continued opening chests. This time, he was even more expectant, as every Blue quality equipment was worth at least 3000 Paradise Coins.
As he opened them, Su Xiao's brow furrowed. The reason was simple: he had already opened 20 Blue chests, but still no flash.
Indeed, flashes were something you couldn't count on; they were closely tied to luck. For someone with mediocre luck like him, flashes could only come through quantity.
[You have opened a chest (Blue).]
[You have gained 4200 Paradise Coins.]
[You have gained Blood Claw Assault (Skill Scroll).]
Su Xiao's hand paused. This was the second-to-last Blue chest, and in it, he had actually opened a skill scroll.
The value of a skill scroll was on a different level from equipment. Su Xiao had opened 124 chests and only gotten one skill scroll, showing how rare it was to obtain one.
Tallying the gains from the Blue chests: 87,400 Paradise Coins, 7 Blue equipment pieces, and 1 skill scroll.
Although opening over a hundred chests, these gains weren't huge, but one had to consider the strength of the Niraplan tribe. The stronger the enemy, the higher the value of the chests. The Niraplan tribe relied on numbers, so the value of their dropped chests naturally wouldn't be high.
After finishing the Green and Blue chests, only four chests remained in front of Su Xiao: Dark Purple x2, Light Gold x1, and Golden x1.
The value of these four chests was extremely high, dropped by members of the Phantom Troupe and the Troupe Leader.
Picking up the chest dropped by Xin Chang, Su Xiao put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it with Destiny Redemption, activating the Lucky King state.
The chest opened. No flash.
[You have opened a chest (Dark Purple).]
[You have gained 8900 Paradise Coins.]
[You have gained Inverse Harmony Guard.]

...
Seeing the attributes of this sword, Su Xiao's face lit up with joy. He had been searching for a similar blade-type weapon for a long time, through the Black Sail Merchant Guild, the Divine Emperor Adventure Group, the Trade Market, and so on, all to no avail. Now, he had finally found a blade weapon extremely suitable for Dragon-Slaying Flash to devour.
