Capítulo 6: The items 2

"Okay, let's look at the other items," Xu Qianghua thought.

The third item was a token with a huge pavilion visible on it.

Family Token (Chaos):

Description: Used to create a separate subdimension with all the necessary buildings and mechanics for a family to live and thrive.

Xu Qianghua expected this because of the earlier items and the pavilion on the token, representing the main hall where the family head lived and conducted meetings. What surprised Xu Qianghua was the quality of the token.

In Immortal Odyssey: Paths of Destiny, item quality ranges from low to high: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Epic, Legendary, Starlight, Galaxy, Universal, Mythical, and finally, Chaos.

In his last life, the highest quality family token he had ever seen was Galaxy stage, which was from an auction in a different universe controlled by a race among the top 100. Tokens of the universal stage and above are rarely seen and highly sought after, often causing the extermination of entire races if known by powerful races that are upgrading their world to a high-grade world.

Even in the system store during the first two days, the highest token was a Legendary rank Family Token, and there was only one. The highest token used by people from this universe was Starlight, obtained by someone who spent most of their fortune on a Starlight mission and returned half-dead with only a few years left to live.

However, due to the Starlight Family Token, this person built a family strong enough to rank in the upper top 5 of their planet before dying, which shocked everyone and started a craze for high-level missions issued by the universal will, costing many lives.

Now, Xu Qianghua had three items of Chaos rank, acquired for free because, at the time, no one else wanted them, thinking they were just junk from the past.

"Hey, system, are you sure these are Chaos ranked?" Xu Qianghua asked, confused.

[Yes, they are all Chaos ranked,] the system confirmed.

"Wow, then won't I be unbeatable after the game becomes real?" Xu Qianghua was excited, imagining his bright future with these items.

Xu Qianghua looked at the next item, two cards with mysterious lines and blurred figures.

Family Card (Chaos):

Description: Can be used in the family subspace to create people to help the family head to success.

Xu Qianghua was not surprised because, given the other items, he guessed the cave was either an inheritance or someone's personal space where they stored belongings for future use. He leaned toward the latter because an inheritance would have more challenges and protection.

'But why was this space so unprotected?'

Xu Qianghua was confused, having never imagined that the place he had found was where a family-style player had kept their treasures.

"Hey system, what do you think happened to the player?" Xu Qianghua asked, seeking insight.

[I am not sure, host] the system replied.

[But my best guess is that the person is dead. If they were alive, they would not have left these items unprotected.]

"I agree," Xu Qianghua nodded.

The cards he had were called family cards, created by the universe for family-style players to expand their families. Each card generated either a group of people with varying ages and personalities or a single person of high quality. The Supreme will, judges the individuals created from the card based on their overall stats, physique, talents, mindset, and will.

Family cards were crucial for family-style players, who needed to upgrade their family levels by increasing population and cultivation strength. Family levels ranged from 1-9, with further divisions into initial, middle, and peak levels, depending on the number of individuals at each corresponding level.

This hierarchy was important for upgrading world levels, divided into lower, mid, and potentially higher worlds. Lower worlds had level 1-5 families, mid-worlds had level 6-9 families and high-level worlds required at least an Emperor Level family to evolve.

Xu Qianghua reviewed the items and felt happy, envisioning a bright future where these treasures would help him get unprecedented power and influence. With Chaos-ranked items at his disposal, he was set to dominate the game and secure his place at the pinnacle of this new reality.

"Okay, let's see what the next item is," Xu Qianghua thought as he picked up a small jade box.

Dual Cultivation Manual (Chaos):

Description: A rare manual that contains techniques for dual cultivation, allowing practitioners to enhance their spiritual energy and cultivation speed through shared practice. There are two versions, one for males and one for females.

Xu Qianghua was thrilled. 'This will be perfect for enhancing my cultivation speed and spiritual energy' he mused. He already has two people who can use the female versions.

Next, he found a delicate, ornate sword.

Sword of Family Fortune (Chaos):

Description: A sword that grows stronger as the family's luck improves. It starts at a low level but has the potential to become incredibly powerful as the family's fortune rises.

'Finally, a growth weapon' Xu Qianghua thought as he looked at the weapon as this would make him not need a new weapon throughout his cultivation journey.

Then, he saw a ring with intricate carvings.

Ring of Infinite Storage (Chaos):

Description: A spatial ring with virtually limitless storage capacity. Items stored inside are preserved, and time does not affect them.

Xu Qianghua's eyes widened and questioned. "If the player had this then why did he keep the other items lying around and not in this ring?"

He then picked up a small crystal ball.

Crystal of Foresight (Chaos):

Description: Allows the user to see glimpses of possible futures. Can be used to foresee dangers and opportunities, giving the user a strategic advantage.

"This item is useless for me" Xu Qianghua realized.

[Not really, host] the system countered

[With you changing your actions, the timeline will also change]

[So these items can be useful to check the accuracy].

'Hmmm, I agree' Xu Qianghua nodded.

Finally, he picked up a beautiful, ornate key.

Key of the Ancients (Chaos):

Description: Opens a portal to an ancient realm filled with treasures and knowledge. The realm is said to be extremely dangerous, but the rewards are unparalleled.

'This key will help my family members get combat experience after the game merges.' Xu Qianghua thought, feeling a surge of excitement.

With these Chaos-ranked items, Xu Qianghua knew he had the potential to become one of the most powerful figures in the new reality. He would need to use them wisely and hide them from other prying eyes.

As he planned his next steps, Xu Qianghua couldn't help but feel a sense of weight, he knew that with these items he could bring the human race from this world to a higher level than his past life.

Xu Qianghua spent the next few hours thoroughly planning his strategies, considering every possible angle and contingency. He knew that he had to prepare now before the game came out, and he was determined to be prepared for whatever challenges lay ahead.

As he looked at the Chaos-ranked items before him, Xu Qianghua knew that his journey was just beginning. The road ahead would be long and arduous, but he was ready to embrace the challenges and triumphs that awaited him. With the system by his side and the power of the Chaos items, he was confident that he could achieve greatness and secure his place in the new world order.
