Chapter 256: The Statue

Long Zurui received the flute. He was confused why his brother sent it to him when he was not a musician.

[Great Romantic Sage]: Brother, I have no use for this. It’s better for you to take it back.

Long Zurui relayed what Xiao Hua said and the expression in Zurui’s eyes changed.

[Do you wish to equip Sword Flute Overture?]

Zurui agreed and he saw an additional screen.

[Sequence Mission Issued: Upgrade flute to Silver Grade within 1 week.

-Mission rewards: Obtain Hidden Class]

Long Zurui’s heart raced fast.

[Great Romantic Sage]: Thank you so much Brother! Right now, I couldn’t give you anything worth of the same value. If I ever find some ingredients, I will send it right away.

[Dumpling Duke]: Just be careful.

Long Haoran was not with him so he was worried for Zurui’s safety. After a second he exited the chatting interface.

Whilst in the span of chatting with his brother, Xiao Hua already finished opening his chests and he acquired two gold-grades gears for close combat classes, a boots and gauntlets. As for the epic chest...

[You’ve got a pair of Epic-Grade Silk Plum Mittens

-+25% Int and 5% of Dex. User will acquire Intermediate Fire Resistance and every time user earns proficiency points he will extra 5%. Fire-Skills will have additional 50% damage and there is a certain chance to recover mana equals to 10% of the fire damage the user caused to one target.]

[It is detected that there is a gear suitable for your class. Do you wish to equip it?]

Long Haoran was surprised that there’s something for him.

He wore the black gloves thin as cicada’s wings and upon finishing it disappeared blending with his skin.

Li Chunhua’s eyes widen in amazement and she touched Chef Long’s hands. It was supposed to be rough because of callouses he obtained from cooking all the time but it was not. It was like touching a piece of silk.

"How do you feel Chef Long?" Li Chunhua pinched his palm gently and Long Haoran felt a short electric current travelled from that spot to his tailbone. He seized his hands and only said, "It’s alright. How about your chests?"

Li Chunhua wanted to touch it again but after being reminded, she opened her chests.

Gold first, same as usual...

[You’ve got a Gold-Grade Intermediate Magic Cannon blueprint]

[You’ve got a space-attribute ore.]

A magic cannon blueprint and space-attribute ore? What did the system eat? It was suddenly generous to her?

Li Chunhua was momentarily guarded.

[You’ve got a pair of Gold-Grade Doombringer Talons]

[You’ve got a Gold-Grade Priest Light Templar Robe]

[You’ve got a Gold-Grade Draughtbane Ignis Crown]

Li Chunhua and Long Haoran immediately thought of the three gluttons.

From the epic-chests were a book and a gear.

[You’ve got Epic-Grade Fallen Aregallo’s Edible Plant Journal]

Long Haoran’s eyes were immediately fixated on the notebook with a worn out brown leather.

When Li Chunhua saw the word ’edible’, she gave it to Chef Long. Brother Siri already had extensive knowledge of plants. This would be more useful for Chef Long.

Long Haoran’s heart warmth and thanked her.

Another epic chest was opened.

[You’ve got a fragment of a Chopstick of Gluttony.]

The bangle recognized the small piece of red stone and shouted in Li Chunhua’s mind.

’It’s my brother! How did end up being butchered?’

Li Chunhua raised the bangle and replied while showing the red stone. "This is your brother?"

’Yes. It’s him. Even he changed his form. I can still recognize him.’

"I actually already got one. This is my second piece. If you have the ability to sense the other pieces, tell me immediately."

’I will. I have lots of question for that brat. He was gone for so long that I already forgot how much time had passed.’

Li Chunhuas’s eyes darted between the bangle and the red stone. "Are you saying you have a Master before?"

’Of course but a gear with a spiritual consciousness will have its memories erase at the death of the owner but because of my grade before I was reduced to bronze-quality I retained a small part of my memory. However it’s a bit fuzzy. All I know for now is that I have an owner and a brother and nothing more.’

Li Chunhua wanted to lengthen the conversation but when she felt two piercing gazes directed at her. She decided to resume it for later.

She opened another epic chest and saw a familiar stone.

[You’ve got a World Fragment]

"This..." Stunned, Li Chunhua took out the previous World Fragment and compared them both. "It really is..."

Speaking of which...

[Advanced Appraisal Skill activated]

[-Necessary component of Teleportation Gate. Collect 4 to have a chance to go back to any world you have visited and open a gate with an unlimited Time access.]

A certain someone’s face entered her mind. Li Chunhua could hear her chest loudly thumping in her ears. No way...

Long Haoran noticed her expression was wrong and his eyes stared at the stone on her hand. "Xiao Hua, are you alright?"

"Very much." Li Chunhua slowly smiled at Chef Long’s question. Two more and she can visit Hallow City again. She should bring some food and snack when that time comes. She also remembers that Mister Fang likes tea the most. Li Chunhua stored the two stones in her inventory. Her mood improved.

Another golden light spread in the room and Li Chunhua received a unique item.

[You’ve got a Legendary-grade statue of an Averion Soldier.]

A two-meter status of a warrior dressed in the same armor with his right hand placed over the hilt of his sheathed sword hanging on his waist appeared on the table.

The brass colored statue was very similar to those she encountered during the tide except that this one had a carved face of foreign descent. It startled Little Zhou and Long Haoran who were paying close attention to her.

Both Long Haoran and Li Chunhua used their appraisal skill.

[-Placed inside the territory and people without class can become a ’Supreme Soldier’ and acquire four initial skills.

-Collect the necessary items to upgrade the statue and obtain rare hidden classes.]

Long Haoran: (⊙_⊙;) Damn.

Li Chunhua: (＃°Д°) I’m being rizzed!

Does that mean all the natives without a class can become soldiers immediately?

This is the best loot so far!

Li Chunhua climbed the table and gave the stone statue an octopus hug and greeted it. "Mister, welcome to the Salted Fish Territory!"

She really wanted to ask. Where have you been all my life? ಥ_ಥ

Long Haoran saw her being intimate with a statue and he was uncomfortable. 눈_눈

---

Lightyears away from the Main Game Planet, in all corners of the galaxy, the news of the results of the First Weekly Tide had been deliberately suppressed. Only a few upper echelons of influential races with large information network knew of this matter and there were mixed responses and different stances but all have one thing in common.

They sent their people to be summoned as silently and quietly as possible.
