“My goodness, how could I have forgotten about this good thing. This head of mine is really...!”

Counting from the day he received the epic treasure chest, four days had passed.

After experiencing the initial ecstasy and suppressing the unbearable itch to open it in the ruins of time, Su Mo had calmed down and left it at the back of his mind after the initial excitement. After that, he devoted himself completely to the construction and nourishment of Hope Shelter.

At this time, a sense of excitement came from Su Mo’s heart again as he was reminded of its potential.

Focusing his thoughts, the epic treasure chest slowly reappeared from the void, falling like a feather.

When it fell on the ground, it did not make a sound at all. It was a very strange scene.

Of course, other than the golden light it exuded, and the occasional appearance of the abyssal dragon’s mysterious and unusual illusory image, its structure was the same as that of a normal treasure chest.

“The first gold-level treasure chest, and the first epic-level treasure chest. This is the best symbol of my strength that surpasses everyone!”

Su Mo sighed and stroked the mysterious lines on the epic treasure chest. After taking a deep breath, he picked it up and placed it on the workbench.

Many weird things could be obtained from the treasure chest. From all kinds of electrical devices with magical properties, to cards with strange energies and abilities.

Without exception, all these things were beyond the scope of human technology and belonged to a mysterious realm that had not yet been explored by humankind.

Putting his hand on the lock and looking at the treasure chest that flashed with golden light, Su Mo quickly muttered a prayer in his heart and unlocked the chest.

Buzz...

No longer bound by the shackles of the lock, the epic treasure chest also seemingly sensed Su Mo’s wishes and began to tremble slightly on the workbench.

Rays of light radiated from the gaps in the chest, and the entire third floor of the Underground Shelter began to flash with an orange-yellow light.

Decisively, Su Mo used both hands to remove the remaining safety measures and opened the treasure chest.

Whoosh!

The sky was full of light, and a deep roar resounded!

This was the first time he was opening an epic treasure chest, and various peculiar scenes seemed to play out before him. These scenes began to evolve rapidly in front of Su Mo’s eyes.

...

“I am a legendary dragon. I was born into a powerful Abyssal Dragon family. My name is… Elliston Zeta!”

The orange-yellow light was not blinding as it shone into his pupils, but was very comfortable instead.

The next moment, Su Mo’s vision was thrown into a daze, and it was as if he had arrived at another world.

After his perspective changed, he experienced a series of fantastical scenes. Through the unique first-person and third-person viewpoints, he was led through the strange set of scenes recorded in the epic treasure chest.

It seemed that, starting from the epic level treasure chest, all these treasure chests would have a very close connection with the character they were obtained from.

When Su Mo opened the treasure chest, he could see a series of images flashing by, recording the evil life of the dragon Zeta.

The living conditions of the Abyssal Dragons were not as extravagant as Zeta described, and the environment in which they lived was not as beautiful as he imagined.

Even compared to the wasteland that was constantly baptized by disasters, the difference was huge.

Faced with gray-black floods and a sky without sunshine, they would be harassed and attacked by various enemies from all directions every cycle.

The young Zeta joined the hunting team in his early years because of his low talent. He followed the other warriors of the Abyssal Dragon family to invade the surrounding tribes of other monsters.

Usually, joining the hunting team at Zeta’s young age meant that he would be cannon fodder and sacrificed tragically.

However, somehow, a stroke of mysterious luck sheltered him and kept him alive despite the constant dangers. After obtaining a piece of treasure by luck, Zeta started his path of rapid growth.

As time gradually passed, Zeta’s bravery in battle allowed him to accomplish many great achievements in the invasions.

In a battle, he risked his life and sacrificed a wing to rescue his teammate bravely, and his reputation for fighting talent and loyal temperament gradually spread.

With the passing of days, Zeta’s status became higher and higher, and he gradually retired from the frontlines into a more administrative and strategic role.

In the eyes of the younger generation of dragons, he was a lowly, humble, but powerful elder who loved his family. What he liked most was to support the little dragons who were also born from such “lowly families”.

It was such a dragon who looked perfect among the people that had planned things for half a lifetime.

He wanted revenge!

The subject of revenge was neither the Ligers, who often invaded the dragons, nor the vultures or ghost eagles flying in the sky, but...

The Abyssal Dragon Clan!

It was said that people’s jealousy and resentment were often manifested in the people closest to them and that people’s resentment would also come from the harm done to them by the people closest to them. The Abyssal Dragon clan was no exception to this statement.

Because of the psychological trauma of his childhood and the fear of death caused by aging, Zeta wanted to avoid dying just like this, so he had been investigating and making plans to go to the “Land of Redemption”.

Status, money, and whatever it took, in the last years of his life, Zeta finally found a way to salvation...

Sacrifice!

To sacrifice all the others in the clan, turning them into energy to open the portal to the “Land of Redemption”.

In the middle of the night, after the Abyssal Dragon clan was attacked, Zeta, as the most respected elder in the family, took advantage of the void left by the others. He designed a magic circle and personally sacrificed all his clansmen to open the teleportation portal.

After he left, the Abyssal Dragon family was destroyed. In this terrifying abyssal world, the story of the Dragon family had also become a fantasy tale that could only be heard among the nearby tribes.

...

As he traversed through the bizarre space tunnel, the story engraved on the epic treasure chest also began to come to an end at this time. With a flash of light, Zeta arrived at the outside world and slammed into the body of a chameleon.

What happened next was familiar to Su Mo. Zeta, who had just betrayed the clan and sacrificed everyone’s lives, before he had time to experience his new life, he had been blown to pieces by Su Mo.

A brilliant display of fireworks transported him directly from the abyss into “heaven”.

Amid the thunderous roar of fireworks, the glow began to disappear gradually and the three items stored in the treasure chest revealed their true colors.

With the introduction of the story, Su Mo had a slight idea of what items might appear from the treasure chest. Still, after his gaze landed on the items, the inevitable sense of excitement flooded his heart.

“It is worthy of the title of being an epic treasure chest. The things inside are also linked to the character engraved on the treasure chest.”

The first watch-like item in the treasure chest was the main reason why Zeta could rise from an obscure nobody to a “big boss” in the Abyssal Dragon family.

Slowly stretching out his hand and carefully buckling the watch on, making sure that there were no mistakes in the steps according to his memory, Su Mo began to quickly click on both sides of the watch.

Left, left, bottom, right, bottom, left, back...

After entering the cumbersome password, with a squeak, the shape of the watch began to change. Controlled by Su Mo’s mind, it transformed into a ring inlaid with a large ruby.

Then, after Su Mo focused his thoughts, the system panel also displayed the attributes of the ring.

[Mind-Ring (Epic)]

[Description: The rumor comes from ancient Chinese mythology. It was formed by Yinglong’s mind and possesses incredible power. While wearing it, your mind and willpower will be strengthened when encountering setbacks and defeats in life. The invisible power will alter the magnetic field around you, causing you to encounter more “blessings” naturally.]

[First Ability: Faith (Passive. After wearing this ring, the energy emitted by the ring will blend with your magnetic field and actively regulate your endocrine system to ensure that your body performs to the best of its abilities at critical moments.)]

[Second Ability: Concentration (Active. After wearing this ring, use your other hand to press the energy source of the ring for three seconds and silently think of what you want to do. In the next two hours, your thought processes will change and become more rapid, adjustments to your level of focus and attention will also be implemented where necessary.)]

[Third Ability: Luck (Passive. After wearing this ring, your luck will increase. This effect will change according to the wearer.)]

[Comment: The premium chicken soup ring from another world… You deserve it!]

“It was with this piece of equipment that the dragon Zeta could persevere and accomplish his achievements despite the repeated failures and setbacks. It is worthy of an epic rating. All three attributes are very practical.”

Looking at these attributes, Su Mo beamed with happiness and the anxiety caused by the seed crisis dissipated significantly.

Of the three abilities, two of them were passive, and the only active ability seemed to be useless at present, but if it were to be paired with other things...

Like Su Mo’s gardener title!

As long as he used the second concentration ability, he could adjust his mental concentration as needed, thereby triggering the effect of the title and cultivating high-grade seeds.

“There is a buff, a title, and now there is a mind ring. The matter regarding the seeds is finally seeing some progress!”

Taking a long and soothing breath, he calmed down the excitement in his heart and took out the remaining two items simultaneously. He summoned the game panel to display their property bars.

[Accessory Item Adaptation Coupon (Rare)]

[Description: Select a design blueprint currently owned by the player “Su Mo”. Converts the chosen design blueprint into another design blueprint of the same origin.]

[Number of uses: 1/1]

...

[Material Substitution Card (Excellent)]

[Description: When synthesizing materials required for construction, if the materials are insufficient to match the amount listed in the design blueprint, using this card allows the player to replace the material with other materials of the same quality level.]

[Number of uses: 1/1]

“Well, one piece is rare and the other piece is excellent. Not a bad harvest!”

With a mind ring in his hand, Su Mo looked at the remaining two unremarkable items. He did not choose to use them immediately and kept them in the storage space.

Time was running out. He needed to take advantage of the good weather to go out and farm.

With the mind ring in his possession, it was perfectly possible for him to experiment with cultivating the first batch of crops to obtain the high-quality seeds.

Then they could be mass-produced the next day, and the surplus could be brought to the trading market and traded for a batch of materials!

After sorting out the required materials and checking that there were no enemies around the shelter, Su Mo took all the seeds with him.. He took out the hoe with the best quality and the best properties, opened the door, and enthusiastically trotted toward the black soil land.
