Chapter 176: Chapter 128: Please watch the next episode - The Death of the Author!

The next day at noon.

Zhou Yuan woke up and lazily stretched.

After dozing on the bed for a while, he picked up his phone and ordered takeout.

After washing up, he started to check his loot while listening to the noon news.

This time, he had a total of 31 Storage Rings, but the extraordinary items inside were not many. Extraordinary people, especially those on the evil side, mostly lived lives on the run and knew the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket. So, when they went on high-risk missions, they wouldn’t bring all their possessions. This way, even if they died, they wouldn’t benefit their enemies completely, and if they were lucky to survive, they would only lose part of their wealth with a chance to start over.

So, the Storage Rings didn’t have gold or silver, only a large number of firearms and a few extraordinary items, most of which were of low quality, only worth fifty or a hundred Star Coins, and not many in number.

Only a few dared to bring all their possessions, like Han Bin and Tang Qingsha, those squad leaders who were absolutely confident in their strength.

The Storage Rings from these people were the real treasure troves.

Zhou Yuan first opened Han Bin’s Storage Ring. The restrictions on it had already been forcibly removed by Fang Qing.

"Wow, Celestial Steel, high-purity Thunder Slurry, Despair Embers, Screaming Gray Tree Seeds, Spirit Purple Goat Unicorn... quite a lot of good stuff, truly worthy of the chosen one."

Unfortunately, there were no numbered abnormal items inside, but many extraordinary items, including one rare-quality item.

[Name: Fiery Mad Bull Shield]

[Quality: Rare]

[Special Effect 1: Fiery Iron Wall. Defensive mode, shield triggers a wild bull phantom to block upcoming attacks.]

[Special Effect 2: Bull Rush. Offensive mode, can charge forward for up to 7 seconds with the shield, gradually increasing speed until hitting a target, immune to control skills during the charge.]

[Consumption: 200 Spirituality Value]

[Note 1: Brave Bull, Fearless of Difficulties.]

[Note 2: Manufactured by Herland Alchemy Workshop, Quality is Trustworthy.]

[Sale Price: 3000 Star Coins]

Herland Alchemy Workshop was a famous equipment manufacturer in the Transcendent world, only dealing with high-end and custom items. This item was a custom item, but it didn’t seem like it belonged to Han Bin, probably his loot.

Besides various items, the Storage Ring stored mainly thunder attribute cultivation resources, with a total of 34 Thunder Stones, and they were of extremely high purity.

"So many resources, the Electric Mouse can’t possibly finish them all, especially since it already has a Thunder Stone... hmm, I could catch a few more thunder attribute minions." Zhou Yuan thought that with these resources, it was entirely feasible.

He continued to open the treasure chests.

The next Storage Ring belonged to one of the six extraordinary people he had killed when he first entered the inner world. The young leader was called "Young Master," seemingly a candidate for the Saint Heir of the Land of Truth.

In this guy’s Storage Ring, Zhou Yuan found an interesting item.

[Name: Endless Train Ticket]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Special Effect: With this ticket, one can board the Endless Train.]

[Note 1: It’s said that there is a train traveling across various planes, running non-stop to the end of time until everything ends. The train is full of dangers but also opportunities. If someone can reach the driver’s cab at the front, they will become the conductor and own the Endless Train, but no one has succeeded so far.]

[Note 2: Beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, sunflower seeds, eight-treasure porridge, legs down!]

The next second, a system prompt sounded in his ears.

[You have obtained a key item, and the quest has been triggered]

[Quest Name: "Endless Train"]

[In 4 months, the Endless Train will pass through this plane and stay for 7 days. Please be ready to board. If the schedule conflicts, the ticket can be transferred.]

[Recommended Level for the Quest: 50]

"Ah, this...

Zhou Yuan was stunned; he had triggered a quest.

"Endless Train... never heard of it."

He scratched the back of his head. There was no information about this train in the Control Bureau’s abnormal item compendium. Was it a newly appeared abnormal item?

"I wonder where that guy got the ticket. Unfortunately, he’s dead, so I can’t ask... but since he had one, others will likely get tickets too. There should be news soon."

"Four months..."

Zhou Yuan looked at his level on the panel, currently LV28. He was 22 levels away from the recommended level. Four months should be enough time, right?

He put away the ticket and continued to sort through the loot.

"Nether Flower, Grave Soil, Mind Squid’s Brain... the Saint Heir candidate from the Land of Truth isn’t that great, huh, so poor."

Zhou Yuan was quite dismissive, but the Nether Flower and Grave Soil were useful. These materials containing negative energy could be used by Fang Qing for cultivation.

This time, he had killed quite a few evil cultivators, seizing a dozen cursed items, evil artifacts, and various materials they carried, enough for Fang Qing to use for a while.

...

"There’s such a thing?"

A few minutes later, Zhou Yuan looked at the whip covered in tiny spikes in his hand and fell into silence.

This was an item found in the Storage Rings of two Painful Miracle followers.

[Name: Embrace of Pain]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Special Effect: Painful Whip Lash. Use the whip to lash a target to inflict severe pain upon hitting.]

[Note 1: Pain is quite an intimate thing, meant to be lovingly delivered by hands full of affection.]

[Note 2: Can be used for combat, and also for combat—though the latter is on the bed.]

[Sale Price: 800 Star Coins]

And there were accompanying items as well.

Gags, handcuffs, blindfolds...
