Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 288 - 236: Taking Stock of the Harvest

At this very moment, inside the Corridor of Chaos, all the Players from the Typhon World received a system notification that they would be ejected in three minutes.

「Gale Wind World, The Fringes.」

Tong Yuanhai shook his head and sighed, "So be it. True Monarch Erlang the Saint got all the good stuff. There’s no competing with him!"

He had only just arrived in Gale Wind World.

「A Relay Station, Underground Labyrinth.」

Liang Xiaoyu closed the Royal Court Treasure page and muttered, "That Yang Jian... he picked two Secret Treasures? A B-Class one and an A-Class one. And he didn’t even pick the S-Class one!"

Li Ben, standing beside her, asked, "Xiaoyu’Er, what should we do next?"

Liang Xiaoyu said, "Whether he’s Yang Jian or Sun Wukong, it’s all the same guy. He’s already unstoppable. We won’t find a single opportunity for ourselves on the Eastern Continent anymore. Once we’re back, we’ll take the three thousand Sword Armor and launch an expedition to the Western Continent!"

"The Western Continent?"

"That’s right. We’re going to carve out a new territory for ourselves on the Western Continent!"

「Celestial Net Country, North Sea, Changqing Island.」

Bai Xianyi let out a sigh. "Yang Jian... he succeeded again!"

Wei Shenming sat across from him, staring at the Royal Court Treasure information page. "So is he Yang Jian, or is he Sun Wukong?"

"He’s neither Sun Wukong nor Yang Jian. I doubt we’ll ever find out this guy’s real name."

"If you can’t beat them, join them. Why don’t we just throw in our lot with him?"

Bai Xianyi shook his head. "Impossible. I have no desire to subordinate myself to anyone. We were just a bit unlucky this time in the Corridor of Chaos. Let’s wait for the next opportunity. Once I’ve perfected my four disciplines, he’ll be the one looking up to me in the late game..."

「Typhon World, Western Continent, City of Silver Frost.」

Inside the central tavern, a group of Players were drinking beer and chatting.

Suddenly, one of them slammed his mug down on the wooden table and shouted, "Those Players from the Eastern Continent have gone too far! They secretly opened the Corridor of Chaos, took the Secret Treasures inside, and just left us Players from the Western Continent out of it?"

"Whatever. We have the Atlantis Ruins over here, and they can’t get in on that!"

"That Yang Jian guy seems pretty damn full of himself! Hey, Lord Dog, you think he could go fifty-fifty with your master?"

The Player known as "Lord Dog" was none other than Ji Liangren. He was currently the number one expert in Silver Frost, as well as a senior Great Knight of the Dogman Temple, a high-ranking servant of the Giant Dragon Divine Hall, and a Gold Medal Adventurer of the Atlantian Hero Association.

"Yang Jian, Yang Jian..." Ji Liangren said with a look of disdain, "My boss, Sun Wukong, is definitely stronger than him. He probably just had an off day."

「Valon World, Feisha City, Round Dome Hall.」

A female Player with golden hair scrutinized the Royal Court Treasure page, muttering, "Two Secret Treasures are already gone. Good, the S-Class one is still there! I still have a chance!"

Below her, a guard with a sword at his hip came forward to report, "Chief Manda, there’s someone outside who calls himself the Oasis Lord. He is requesting an audience?"

"The Oasis Lord... that’s Luan Bu, the one with the S-Class Talent, right? What is he doing here?"

The golden-haired Player muttered to herself, then shook her head and said, "Go back and tell him I’m busy. Have him wait an hour before letting him in!"

"Understood!"

The sword-bearing guard clasped his hands in a salute and withdrew.

Outside the great hall, Luan Bu paced back and forth, then suddenly shouted into the hall, "Chief Manda, be my patron! I have an S-Class Lord Talent, I can tame Starry Giant Beasts, and I have Unlimited Potential! My brothers are all top-tier talents, too! You won’t lose out by taking us in!"

Not far away, Ruan Saint and the others cowered in a corner, terrified that someone would realize they were part of the same group as the guy begging for a patron.

The Holy Knight, Zhang Lebao, suddenly said, "The Royal Court Treasure info just updated. Did Yang Jian take two?"

"Looks like it! He actually didn’t take the S-Class Secret Treasure!"

"The Corridor of Chaos mission here has also started. Should we head over now?"

"Getting a patron is more important right now. Chief Manda cleared the World of Suffering. If anyone in our Newbie Village can compete with Yang Jian, it’s her!"

"Sigh... I just hope the boss can win her over..."

「A Relay Station World.」

A red-haired male Player gazed at the starry sky and muttered, "Yang Jian? I’ll remember that name! One day, the name of me, the Crimson Witch, Tie Suifeng, will also resound in the world announcements!"

The Player laughed heartily and strode away.

He was an Adventurer Player who had descended upon the Super Power World and awakened the S-Class Superpower [Chaos Magic]. He considered himself second to none.

「Outside the Newbie World, on a Starry Island.」

Outside the High-Dimensional Divine Hall, Jiang Wuqing, a purple-skinned man clad in golden Battle Armor, was beating up a silver-haired Player.

"Talk! Did someone pay you to screw with me? Do you have any idea how huge my losses were because of this?" Jiang Wuqing roared.

"You’ve got it all wrong! It’s a misunderstanding!" the player cried. "Boss, believe me, I never meant to set you up! That Li Longyu really is the reincarnation of a Starry Sky God!"

"But you fucking didn’t tell me he had a top-tier master with him!"

"How could there be a top-tier master in a Newbie World? Boss, you must have made a mistake!"

"Mistake my ass! If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have suffered such a huge loss for nothing! I swear I’m going to break all three of your legs today!"

Jiang Wuqing showed no mercy, and his blows made the silver-haired Player on the ground howl in agony.

「Infinitely Far Away.」

A ray of starlight descended before a great, surging river, transforming into a white-haired old man with a longsword strapped to his back.

Not far from him stood a hundred-meter-tall statue of a Golden Lion. The statue faced the river, reclining with its eyes closed. Suddenly, it spoke, "Li Bozhen! It’s been many years. You seem to have grown weaker. Tell me, what have you been doing all this time?"

The old man said, "This is no time for reminiscing. I must trouble you to activate the Divine Kingdom Teleportation. I need to see the Divine Lord."

"And for what reason must you see the Divine Lord?"

"My King has been reincarnated in the Newbie World. His name is Typhon, and I must go to Guide him at once!"
