CHAPTER 43: BLUEPRINT SYNTHESIZER

The monsters in the Secret Realm will not drop game loot, but a treasure chest of five different colors—diamond, gold, silver, bronze, and white—will be scattered everywhere, and it’s up to the player’s luck to have a fortuitous encounter with it.

The inhabitants of this world will not be able to see these chests, and only players do.

This ’everywhere’ the author stated is not literally everywhere, Chests will be hidden where you least expected them to be, except for the white-grade chest. It was quite odd for one to just appear in the middle of the road, especially if it’s a golden chest with the extreme rarity of 1/1,000,000.

If she remembered it correctly, whenever a secret realm opens, the number of players that manage to get their hands on golden chests would be less than 1% of the population of the players who ventured into the realm.

There’s no need to mention diamond chests. Although it was mentioned by the author, none of the players had seen it so far, from when she read the book until midway.

You can encounter a silver treasure chest with a chance of 1/100,000, while the bronze chest would be at a 1/1000 ratio, and lastly, the white quality is the most common grade. There’s tons of these littered around.

According to the novel, the loot on the white chest can give you one unit of food or water.

A bronze chest has two items: either food, water, or other necessities like lighters, flashlights, blankets, and so on. Although it was quite penny-pinching from the readers’ perspective, in a perilous world, these items were life-saving and increased a player’s survival.

A silver chest will give the players three items and a guaranteed weapon, and fortunate players have the slight chance to obtain a manufacturing blueprint for unique items from this world.

Golden chests always provide four to five types of loot: one blueprint, one weapon, and the remaining were necessities.

While a diamond chest, she had no idea what’s inside of it.

The game system will briefly give basic information about chests to players while they’re in the portal. Upon arriving in this secret realm, a player would be enveloped in a barrier that protected him for 10 seconds.

Spawning sites will be everywhere. But probably because she entered the realm before the schedule, these things didn’t happen to her.

"Sister, can you stop for a moment?" Li Chunhua immediately requested it without hesitation. The golden chest must be taken! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Liang Er will not order her subordinate to stop just because of a stranger’s words. She glanced at Gong Panli when she received a signal. She let Fin step on the gas pedal, but not before warning the girl, "If there is an undead in the emerging on the side lines before you get back, I’m not going to wait for you, and we will immediately speed off."

They were still in the commercial streets, and the possibility of encountering Undead was very high, although it was very strange that their journey this time around was smooth. When they came to this area this morning, it was not this peaceful.

(A/N: You have a lucky charm with you.)

"Okay, sister." Right after Liang Er uttered the last word, the door of the car opened, and Li Chunhua cautiously went over the golden chest.

She placed her right hand on top of it, eager to see the loot.

[Hallow City’s Golden Treasure Chest]

This prompt only popped when the player got hold of the treasure chest, and it was solid proof of its genuineness.

[Does the player wish to open the chest?

- Yes

- No]

It was not the right place to open the chest. Li Chunhua carried it to the car.

In the eyes of the people in the car, Li Chunhua just ran ahead on the road, bent over a spot, before returning. They thought she wanted to relieve herself, but her actions didn’t align.

So why did she request to stop the car?

Since she was fast, Liang Er didn’t say another word despite being confused by her behavior. She signaled for Fin to start the engine again.

The three men and Gong Panli asked her some questions. Li Chunhua gave only peculiar reasons.

The four people stared at her for a few seconds before looking elsewhere.

Li Chunhua scooted a little bit in her chair and used her body to block the people’s view. Then she tapped on the ’yes’ option.

The game system had always been very showy with its lights, and so before revealing the contents, her eyes were blinded by it for two seconds before notifications rang in her ears.

[You’ve got a pound of pumchet sugar-glazed cake.]

[You’ve got milk-flavored nutritional liquid.]

[You’ve got a bronze-quality Glock 17 and 5 rounds of 9mm bullets.]

[You’ve got a blueprint synthesizer.]

She was unfamiliar with the third item because the background of the original owner. She only knew it was a gun, but she was not interested in it.

Most of her attention was on the last item and the first item.

A cake! Food!

However, what is a blueprint synthesizer?

This was never mentioned in the novel. She was expecting a manufacturing blueprint.

[Blueprint Synthesizer

- Strictly effective for the Hallow City Secret Realm only.

- Enable the user to have three chances of reproducing manufacturing blueprint of any item, not limited to machines, equipment, weapons, buildings, armor, vehicles, defense facilities, etc.]

Three manufacturing blueprints?

It’s like getting two more golden chests!

Li Chunhua was happy.

After opening the treasure chest, it will be gone, and only the items will remain. The player can choose to store it inside the temporary inventory with only 10 slots.

Since she had no large pouch or bag on hand, Li Chunhua had no choice. Unlike a treasure chest, items will be visible to the inhabitants, and it will be suspicious if these things just suddenly appear.

With a heart brimming with happiness, Li Chunhua looked ahead, and she spotted another treasure chest ahead.

It was silver!

Li Chunhua called for the sister in the front seat. Liang Er huffed in impatience, but since Gong Panli didn’t say a word of rejection and even agreed, she could only acquiesce.

Li Chunhua hurriedly opened the door and ran towards it while pretending to look at the surroundings.

Once she took a hold of it, she returned with a smile on her lips. Two treasure chests in a row!

She’s so lucky!

Just when she thought it would be the end, "There’s another one! "Li Chunhua mumbled when she saw another one.

Another silver!

She asked Liang Er again.

Liang Er’s expression darkened, but she still nodded.

When she came back, holding the silver chest under the confused eyes of everyone, the car had just run for a minute when she spotted another chest.

"Please stop!"

+Gold chest

"Hold on."

+Silver chest

"Sister, just one more time."

+Silver chest

"Sister..."

"If you say another word about getting off, I’ll throw you out of the car!" Liang Er’s fiery eyes bore holes in Li Chunhua’s face, startling the latter into silence.

Li Chunhua immediately covered her mouth with her hands before nodding.

This sister is so fierce!

"Drive," Liang Er commanded before glaring in Li Chunhua’s direction.

Gong Panli didn’t speak for her this time and only scratched his head. "Miss, don’t be angry with Captain Liang. She’s just worried for your safety."

Three men also nodded.

"No, it was actually my fault. I’m sorry, Sister Liang." Li Chunhua apologized.

Liang Er’s anger lessened. At least she was sensible and admitted her mistakes.

The journey continued after the little episode.

Although Li Chunhua was excited for the loot, she stored it first in the temporary inventory and went to admire the scenery outside.

But it was very difficult to do so because of there were treasure chests on the road that she wasn’t able to pick up and numbers are constantly rising.

It would be unethical if she kept bothering people again.

She decided after she finish her mission, she will go back.

Without Li Chunhua’s intervention, the car managed to arrive at the outermost wall of the Metropolitan Base before the sun reached its peak.

Outside the base, men carrying guns patrolled every car and told the passengers to step outside the vehicle because it would be checked.

Once Li Chunhua got off, she noticed there were a lot of people in the side lines, and her eyes were immediately drawn to a silhouette.

"Brother Siri!" She shouted and walked briskly towards the Elf.
