Zhao Zhong was in a daze when he found out the chest was empty. Yes, there was nothing inside the chest.
Noticing the strangeness of his subordinate, Tang Shaoyang approached the guy. Before he could ask what happened, he noticed the chest was empty. In the next moment, the chest dissolved into lights and disappeared.
"Huh!?" Was it possible for the chest to be empty? Tang Shaoyang questioned himself. From his experiences from opening three chests, he never got the empty chest. But if there was a chance for the chest to be empty, then Zhao Zhong's luck was quite something.
The chest was empty but it did not mean Zhao Zhong did not get the reward. He got his reward already.
[You obtained 200,000 Game Coins!]
That was what he got from the treasure chest. He slowly turned around and met with Tang Shaoyang's eyes, "I got 200k coins…" with his disheartened voice, he reported to his Boss what he got from the chest.
"Oh!?" Tang Shaoyang was a little surprised and he finally understood why the chest was empty. He tapped Zhao Zhong's shoulder, "It's better than nothing," he said in his thoughts. It was truly much better than nothing, "You can save the coin to get a high tier talent!"
Zhao Zhong eyes the other chests, he did not want a coin but a fancy weapon or something else, not the coin.
"Nope, you can only open once and you have made your choice!" Tang Shaoyang's voice reminded the disheartened Zhao Zhong, "Do you want to go next?" He asked Cao Jingyi.
"Let the others choose first!" Cao Jingyi shook her head. Since no one dared to step forward, Qin Shoushan stepped forward. He went straight to the first chest from the left, "I will open mine first, Boss!"
After saying that, he opened the chest immediately. Inside the chest, a brown leather scroll tied with a red band. He took the scroll and the chest dissolved immediately.
--------------
[Class Change Scroll]
Advanced Class: Shield Breaker
--------------
That was what was shown when he held the scroll. He was delighted and happy with what he got. However, Qin Shoushan did not immediately use the scroll. He handed the scroll to Tang Shaoyang to let him see what he got.
"You surely got the jackpot!" Tang Shaoyang was also surprised when he got a hold of the scroll. He handed back the scroll to Qin Shoushan, "You can use it, but we don't know what this Shield Breaker is doing, you can save it for now, and meet Origin to consult," he advised his subordinate.
Qin Shoushan received the scroll but he gave the Boss an odd gaze, 'He told me to consult with Origin, does he want the scroll?' The scroll was so precious, and it was natural for someone who wanted to get a hand on the scroll. He could not help but think negatively when Tang Shaoyang asked him to save the scroll for now.
'There's no way, right?' Qin Shoushan thought to himself. From what he knew about Tang Shaoyang, the Boss was someone with a principle, so taking his subordinate's possession never crossed his heart until now.
In the end, Qin Shoushan decided to keep the scroll in the Inventory Bag as a seed of doubt was planted in his heart.
Tang Shaoyang of course did not eye the scroll. It was purely advice as a Boss. The AI, Origin has rich knowledge while they did not have a clue regarding the class. Consulting the AI brought no harm, and it was not too late to use the scroll later on.
Jin Fan, a Tarrior stepped forward after Qin Shoushan picked his chest. He wanted to pick his chest, and under Tang Shaoyang's consent, he picked the second chest from the left. With a deep breath, he opened the chest.
As soon as the chest opened, it dissolved into lights and vanished. Jin Fan was startled as nervousness started to engulf him. His process of the opening chest was different from the others, so he thought he was busted and got nothing.
But his concern was nothing as the chest disappeared, a shield and a lance laid down on the ground. The shield and the lance were black in color.
The black shield was about 70 centimeters wide and 130 centimeters long with a strange symbol in the center. As for the lance, it was around 3 meters or maybe longer than that. The black shaft took half of it while the other half was the coned blade.
Jin Fan was surprised that he was not busted. But his surprised face changed into a disappointment at the sight of lance and shield. With a sigh of disappointment, he approached his reward. He tried to pick the lance with one hand, "Urghhh!"
To his surprise, he could only pick the land mid-air before he had to drop it again. The lance was so heavy that he could not pick it with one hand.
From his knowledge with a lance, it was supposed to be a one-handed weapon with a shield in the other hand. If he could not pick the lance, how he was supposed to use it in the battle.
---------------
[Shade of the Fallen]
Tier: C
Attribute Bonus: +50 Stamina
[Upgrade]
---------------
That was the details of the lance. It gave a lot of Stamina, but with no way to use it, the attribute bonus was useless. Jin Fan could only smile wryly as he looked at the lance.
Tang Shaoyang could not contain his laugh when Jin Fan with his lean frame tried to pick the lance but fail. It was hilarious for him.
Jin Fan got embarrassed when he heard the laugh. He could only scratch his hair as a helpless smile plastered on his face.
Tang Shaoyang approached the guy. Without asking his permission, he picked the lance with his right.
"Urghh!" He groaned in pain, the cut wound had not healed and he made a big movement. However, he managed to pick the lance with one hand. It was a little heavier than the Destroyer. He was surprised when he saw the details about the lance.
He tried to press the upgrade, but a red alert appeared in front of his eyes.
[Only Blacksmith can upgrade the weapon!]
He nodded his head and picked the shield with his free hand. This time, he was a little more cautious. A lance in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, just like a knight.
---------------
[Escutcheon of the Fallen]
Tier: C
Attribute Bonus: +50 Vitality
[Upgrade]
---------------
A set of weapons that gave you a total of a hundred attributes. Without a doubt the weapon was strong. He looked at Jin Fan, "I have an offer for you, do you want to hear it?"
"Huh!?" Stunned for a moment, Jin Fan nodded his head, "How about this, I will buy this set for 500,000 Game Coins. You can't use it anyway," Tang Shaoyang offered as he had a plan in his mind. Since the guy could not use it, he wanted to buy it for Zhang Mengyao.
Jin Fan truly did not know what to do. He knew the weapon set was strong but he did not know the value of the weapon set. Of course, compared to the weapon on the General Store, 500,000 Game Coins was much more expensive than the weapon sold there.
Looking at the troubled expression on Jin Fan's face, Tang Shaoyang looked at the other chests. Thirteen chests and ten of them belonged to a person while the remaining three were the Tang Empire's assets.
"How about this, you can choose the chest once more but I will take this set!" He offered a more lucrative offer for Jin Fan. Sure enough, when he said that, Jin Fan's face brightened up.
"However, I want to make sure that if you choose another chest, this set will be mine. No matter what you get from the chest, you can't take this set back!" This was more like a gamble. Since Jin Fan did not want the coins, the chest was the best offer he could give.
He was doing this not solely for Zhang Mengyao, but for Jin Fan as well. Since the guy did not want the weapon, and he could not use it too, he gave him the offer. As for the rest, it was depending on his luck and choice.
"There's no need to be pressured, I am not going to force you to trade. You can trade the set with 500,000 coins, or a chest or you can keep the set too if you want! The choice is yours, take your time!" Tang Shaoyang put the lance and the shield back to the original spot.
Jin Fan was not in a hurry to decide as he contemplated in silence. While the guy was still in deep thought, Tang Shaoyang turned toward Cao Jingyi, "Do you want to open yours now?" He offered her to open the chest.
Cao Jingyi did not answer Tang Shaoyang as she immediately went to the third chest from the right. She stood there for a while before she placed her hand on top of the chest. Instead of opening the chest, the chest disappeared. She saved the chest into the inventory.
"I guess I am not going to open it now," she smiled at Tang Shaoyang with a face 'I am not going to let you see my loot,' kind of face.
Tang Shaoyang shrugged his shoulder, "It's your call, I don't care,"
At this moment, Jin Fan made his choice, "I am going to choose the second chest!" He was resolute with his decision to take the second shoot despite the risk of getting a less valuable item.
"Then go for it!" Tang Shaoyang collected the set and saved them into inventory.
