Chapter 32: 032 Wooden Treasure Chest

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Although the battle against the spiders lasted short, the loot was still not bad!

Yellow had killed about 30 Runic Spiders. In the end, he had gathered as many as 9 drops!

That was about 1 drop every 3 kills – a surprisingly high drop rate.

Wu Wei was thrilled when he saw the drops, but opening them changed his mood.

[You have opened a common drop and obtained 1 material, [Spider Silk Sack!]]

[You have opened a common drop and obtained 1 material, [Spider Leg!]]

Wu Wei opened seven of them in a row, obtaining only spider silk or spider legs. This was not the outcome he had hoped for.

"What's wrong with my luck today?"

"F*ck, I don't believe this!"

Wu Wei opened the last two drops.

[You have opened a white drop and obtained [High-Quality Spider Silk Sack!]]

Wu Wei almost spat out a mouthful of blood. By now, his face had completely soured. About to go insane, he forced himself to smile.

[You have opened a white drop and obtained [Runic Armament: Spider Armor!]]

In the next second, a piece of blacktop armor that looked like it had been made of spiders' skin and had the motif of a spider on its back appeared before Wu Wei.

Wu Wei picked it up with his hand. The armor was very light despite its size – only weighing about 2 to 3 kilograms.

At the same time, the attributes of the Spider Armor appeared in front of Wu Wei.

Name: <Spider Armor>

Quality: <Uncommon>

Additional skill: Spider Disguise – After activation, you will be disguised as a Cave Spider for 30 minutes. It can only be used twice a day.

P.S.: It can only fool spider-type Runic Monsters.

P.S.S.: Don't attack when you're in camouflage, or you may break the camouflage.

Description: It's a piece of armor with average defense. Its only advantage is that spiderwebs do not work on it.

Looking at the attributes of the armor left Wu Wei momentarily stunned.

"From [Treant Longsword] to [Spider Armor], why do Runic Monsters always drop stuff that counters themselves?"

"Oh, I'm gonna die, so let me give you something to help you kill my brethren! Do they hate each other or something?"

Although he found it amusing, Wu Wei was pleased with the armor.

No matter what, it was an Uncommon-quality armor.

After that, Wu Wei took a shower and went out. He sold all the spider silk and legs, obtaining 21 Spirt Stones in return.

Then, Wu Wei spent 1 Runic Stone to rent a cultivation room in the school. He buried Golem Puppet in the ground and began cultivating with his [Book of Runes].

It took him three hours to restore Yellow to his peak condition.

This was also because Wu Wei was reluctant to spend money. Otherwise, with a runic pill, he would not have to spend so much time restoring Yellow.

"The 5 Runic Stones is worth saving. Anyway, I need to wait for that group of spiders to disperse. Since I have nothing to do, I can cultivate on my own and save the money."

"Savings have to be accumulated. 5 Runic Stones today – if I keep this up, I'll soon be rich!"

Wu Wei was very proud of having saved money.

On the way back, however, he passed by the trade market and chanced upon someone opening a blind box in the blind box shop. The person unboxed a skill-type Runic Armament and immediately sold it for a few hundred Runic Stones.

This caused Wu Wei to lose it, and he tried his luck with 20 Runic Stones, but he only got two bottles of cola.

"F*cking blind box scam. It's all a lie. I will never come again. Never!"

With a bottle of cola under either arm, Wu Wei returned to his dormitory filled with grief and indignation. He then took out his Book of Runes and lightly tapped it, returning to the cave entrance again. He then headed towards where he had last logged out.

The spiders from before had already disappeared after three hours had passed.

"Very good!"

Wu Wei expressed his satisfaction and immediately summoned Yellow and the Golem Puppet.

After giving the spider nest a hateful glance, Wu Wei turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

Yes, although Yellow had already changed into the Spider Armor, Wu Wei did not want to risk it.

The main reason was that he felt that the group of spiders was still too strong for him to handle.

He did not want to rely on the log-out escape method again.

However, Wu Wei only took two steps before he stopped in his tracks.

"I remember that in this labyrinth-type area, there is a certain chance that a treasure chest will spawn in a monster's lair. I wonder if the spider nest has one!

"Should I take a look?"

Since the idea had popped up, Wu Wei decided to follow it.

Wu Wei would not have made the same decision if it wasn't because he had obtained the Spider Armor.

At the end of the day, however, he simply couldn't resist the temptation.

Wu Wei ordered Yellow to scout the nest.

Although Yellow was clumsy and not suited for scouting, he now had the Spider Armor!

After activating [Spider Disguise], Yellow could blend in and enter the nest with ease. In less than half an hour, Yellow returned from scouting, bringing an exciting piece of news to Wu Wei.

There was indeed a treasure chest in the spider lair.

A wooden treasure chest!

A wooden treasure chest was the lowest treasure chest among all treasure chests, but no matter how low its level, it was still a treasure chest.

Although wooden treasure chests could only produce common or high-grade rewards under normal circumstances, there was a low chance of obtaining a [Superior] drop!

Therefore, when Yellow reported that there was a treasure chest in the nest, Wu Wei immediately made up his mind.

The only issue was that the treasure chest seemed challenging to access.

The chest was in the middle of the spider nest, surrounded by spiders. Yellow could use spider camouflage to touch it, but the treasure chest could not be moved, so it would only be possible to open the chest on the spot.

Once the chest was opened, it was likely that Yellow's [Spider Disguise] would also be de-activated.

At that time, he would have to face being surrounded by hundreds of spiders. Then, there would definitely be no way out. Wu Wei felt it was not worth sacrificing Yellow for a treasure chest.

However, he was not willing to give up!

Wu Wei gritted his teeth and stomped on the ground.

"F*ck, I must get the treasure chest no matter what. If necessary, I can abuse lightspeed log out to hunt all the spiders repeatedly and clean out the nest. No matter what, I must get the treasure chest!"

Although his principle had been to not rely on the log-out function, Wu Wei discovered that he had now become willing to do what he previously wouldn't.

Wu Wei was willing to lower his bottom line if the benefits were high enough.
