Chapter 61: Opening Treasure Chests (1)

Little Mantou was shocked, and he quickly sprinted towards the mountain of shimmering chests to confirm that he was not hallucinating.

Once he touched one, a screen popped before his eyes.

[Secret Realm’s Bronze Treasure Chest]

"Wow!" Little Mantou exclaimed in utter amazement. It’s really genuine! His eyes were not merely making tricks.

"You’re here, Little Mantou. Help me carry these to the gym." Li Chunhua saw the little fox skipping around and caressing the chests with bright eyes.

"I’m rich!" The little fox barked happily, ogling the mountain.

"It’s not all ours. It’s for the Outer District." Li Chunhua poked the bubble of the little fox’s dreams, pulling him back to reality.

The smile on the little fox’s furry face disappeared.

Master, at least let me dream for a while!

Li Chunhua couldn’t read his thoughts and only went to grab a few treasure chests before jogging back to the gym. Food, food, food... She chanted in her head.

Little Mantou looked at the chests with reluctance before following his master’s instructions.

When Li Chunhua and Little Mantou arrived at the gym, they noticed that Gong Panli and Mr. Fang were not around, and only Siri was there, standing and leaning against the wall.

"Brother Siri, where are they?" Li Chunhua asked.

Siri fixed the granny dress tied around his waist that the little fox stole from somewhere else before walking towards them. "They said they needed to go somewhere first and would come back."

The elf’s eyes were immediately attracted to the treasure chests between the two.

There are three silvers and four bronzes!

A good harvest!

Just as he wanted to praise, Li Chunhua placed the chests on the side and asked for the elf’s help: "Brother Siri, can you help me bring them inside and pile them? We still needed to go back."

There’s more?

Siri didn’t have time to ask because his master had already run back. Little Mantou also did the same, leaving the Elf staring at the treasure chests.

Siri quickly carried the three silver chests inside.

Master Fang’s gym had a wide reception space, and Siri placed the chests in the center before going back to the entrance.

Once he got back, he was stunned that the number of treasure chests had increased. Besides the four bronze chests turned to seven, there were four silver and a "gold!".

Siri quickly hugged it and carried it back inside, afraid someone would snatch it. He caressed the treasure box and carefully placed it on the floor beside the other chests before returning to the entrance.

He resumed doing the task, and when he went back, the pile on the door had become half a meter tall.

The pile increased every time he went back.

Siri was dumfounded.

When Li Chunhua and Little Mantou came to bring back the last chests, Siri popped out of nowhere like a ghost, grabbed Li Chunhua’s shoulders before asking, "Master, did you go a carpet search around the city?"

"No, I only walked around Outer District." Li Chunhua responded honestly, startled by Siri’s appearance. She almost punched the Elf away. It was a good thing she held on the last moment.

Siri: (￣ー￣〃) He also walked around but did not find anything. Is he blind then?

---

Opening treasure chests has always brought a different type of excitement to players, and Li Chunhua was no exception to this, especially knowing that one of the guaranteed loots was food.

The snacks and dishes that she ate before were good, and she was secretly anticipating them.

Even after finishing transferring all the treasure chests their master found inside the gym, Siri and Little Mantou were still in a state of disbelief.

If they were not wrong, there should be more than a thousand chests in that shimmering mountain, and most of them were even in the shades of gold and silver. There were very few whites and bronzes.

An hour ago, they were still having a conversation about their master failing to fulfill her plans, but now she actually defied the system odds and was able to find so much in just an hour of time.

"Master, are you someone related to the Monarch of Luck?" Siri asked out of the blue, finding the sight in front of him difficult to accept.

"That’s what I’m going to ask too." Little Mantou chimed in because that’s the only plausible reason he could think of.

"Monarch of Luck? Who’s that? I don’t know who my parents were. I’m an orphan."

Both she and the original Li Chunhua were orphans.

She grew up in the monastery, which was later destroyed by a horde of beasts.

With the monastery gone, she lived in the streets.

The master found her at the age of eight and introduced her to cultivation after knowing she could sense Qi essences.

On the other hand, the author was so focused on the angst-filled lives of Long Haoran and Xun Minsheng’s shrewd minds and devious deeds that the lives of the side characters, like the original Li Chunhua, were not explained in detail.

It was only mentioned that the cannon fodder Li Chunhua was raised in an orphanage, later graduated from some prestigious university, and had a job in one of the subsidiary companies of Xun’s Conglomerate Financial Institutes for a month before the Global Game had commenced.

"An orphan?" Little Mantou and Siri were taken aback by her revelation.

The atmosphere in the room changed into dreariness.

"That’s enough. Help me open treasure chests. We only have less than two hours left before night. The Outer District has no electricity," spoke Li Chunhua in an eager tone. She was the type not to be depressed about this kind of stuff.

If she was abandoned, or whatever the reason was, then so be it.

In addition, if she wasn’t an orphan, she wouldn’t have the chance to meet her master and her senior martial brothers and sisters.

Come to think of it, fate didn’t treat her very badly.

Li Chunhua smiled and sat at the foot of the treasure chest mountain. She picked the closest, which was silver.

"I’m ready. Ancestors, please bless me with your luck!" She let out a deep breath before opening it.

Shing-

There was a silver-blinding light, and three notifications rang in her ears. Three small screens also appeared, which were seen by the elf and little fox.

Siri and Little Mantou stopped worrying about their master’s mentality after sensing she wasn’t that sad and shifted their focus to the chest on Li Chunhua’s hand.

[You’ve obtained a 1219C2 combat knife].

[You’ve obtained the Melee weapon—Three-edged Army Thorn Blueprint]

[You’ve obtained 1 serving of stewed chicken thigh in soy sauce and peppercorns].

"It’s cooked food, and it’s still hot!" Li Chunhua gulped a mouthful of saliva while looking at the food packed inside a small carton box.

She almost couldn’t restrain herself from ripping the plastic seal.
