Chapter 662: Chapter 662: Harvest
Everyone was dumbfounded, the chests in this passage were huge to begin with.
They have seen other teams open chests, which likewise spewed out a pile of stuff.
However, none of the chests they’ve seen were of the golden quality, let alone a dark golden one.
“It really is dark gold, this team is so unlucky, even the system can’t bear to watch.”
Diamond Tycoon joked, Li Yao and his team’s luck had been relatively crappy so far.
Other teams managed to stumble upon two or three chests, and the game isn’t even over yet. Meanwhile, Team Starfire came across only one altar, and nothing else.
They had made progress only by slaying monsters, their misfortune was beyond words. Just as they were about to open the gate, they hit the jackpot.
It was a treasure radiating brilliant lights that blinded everyone.
It was absolutely satisfying. Many people played the game for the sheer joy of leveling up and hunting for treasures, this scene was extremely exciting.
The teams eliminated by Li Yao could only watch the live stream with gritted teeth. The Wolverine team was originally strong enough to advance to the next round.
But they dug their own grave by trying to take the treasure given by the Archangel from Li Yao and walked right into the line of fire. Watching the joyous scene of their enemies opening treasures chests, they couldn’t feel joyous at all.
Each one was gnashing his teeth and planning revenge, but none of them underestimated Starfire or Li Yao anymore.
Team Starfire was equally ecstatic, chests from ancient gods were always full of surprises.
But apart from the Unparalleled Enchantress, the incredible rogue, it wasn’t easy for other players to find chests, especially given the sheer number of players and the existence of professional rogues whose livelihood depends on finding these chests.
For a regular player to come across a chest, particularly a high-quality one, is no easy feat.
“Hey, why are you guys laughing? I’m buried under these gold coins.”
Adorable Tonton who was a goblin kid got buried under the crystals and gold coins due to her small stature.
Everyone broke into fits of joyous laughter. Li Yao quickly gathered all the gold coins and announced, “There are a total of 1,300 gold coins, 100 for each output, and the rest is a subsidy for the tank.”
“It’s better to split it evenly instead of having subsidies.” The Fruit Knight shook his head.
Sister Li said, “This is the rule. Tanks in the team work the hardest and they also need quite a few special potions or tools, not to mention the money they need for repairing equipment.”
“300 gold coins, three MTs, everyone gets an extra 100. My goodness, even if it’s a subsidy, it is too much.” Despite having tens of thousands of guild funds staring at them every day, that money is for the guild.
If they could each get 200 gold coins, it would be a huge number. Even for top players, having one or two gold coins as spare change after equipping themselves well is considered pretty good.
Sister Li shook her head and said, “You don’t calculate it that way. What if we didn’t make any income this run? The MT would lose the most.”
“Alright, cut it out. Other people are thinking about how to get more for themselves, yet you guys are doing the opposite. Let’s just decide this way.” Li Yao quickly distributed the gold coins and then said, “I’ll keep these crystals for now and distribute them later when we swap equipment.”
“30,000 crystals, that’s a lot.”
Tonton eyed an elemental summoning item sold by a quartermaster, which if procured, would turn her fire elemental into a boss-level entity. However, it was incredibly expensive and needed two types of crystals, 10,000 each.
Though it may seem small, considering the chest dropped 30,000, these 30,000 were a collective effort by the team.
Moreover, a single elite monster could only drop one crystal and a boss could only drop ten. Even for Li Yao’s team, the crystals gained from slaying the monsters were not even half of what was inside one chest.
“The gemstones will be put in the Elder Warehouse for reserves, anyone in need should report to Sister Li for retrieval.” Li Yao stored the gemstones.
Gemstones had always been scarce resources. Whether used in jewelry, embedded as attribute gemstones, or used as alchemy items, they were extremely hard to come by which is why the price of gemstones remained high.
Li Yao gathered up the ten pieces of equipment and said, “This chest is quite generous, ten pieces of equipment, one for each person.”
Each piece was part of a set, each one an impressive level 25 piece that could be upgraded to level 30 using crystals at the quartermaster’s.
Even Li Yao swapped his equipment, let alone the others.
The equipment that Li Yao wore was naturally of the highest quality. Even though the special effects were good, the level was over, and even if he didn’t care about defense, other attributes couldn’t keep up anymore.
“Alright, let’s enter the portal, and while resting, distribute the most valuable loot from the chest – the wings, and the top three golden outfits.” With that, Li Yao lead the way to the portal.
The team entered the light gate and appeared in a world of gold and lapis lazuli.
The architecture here was towering and bright, extremely resplendent, and the entire world was cast in a golden glow.
It was a huge square, essentially a platform extended from a building.
But the players were too small that it looked like a square. One end of the square led to a dark light gate.
On the edge of the square was a boundless sea of clouds, like a true heavenly palace.
Looking up, they could see an enormous building that stretched for tens of thousands of miles. There were countless platforms similar to Li Yao’s, as if there was no end in sight.
“It’s spectacular, but it feels like a nouveau riche, it’s gaudy, extravagant, there’s not a hint of celestial temperament, it’s just tacky,”
Dumbfounded Tonton shook her head disapprovingly.
Li Yao led everyone to a golden stone table and sat down. Everyone gathered around the table.
Meanwhile, the number “1” appeared on their table and the area they were in, including their table and chairs, slowly started to rise.
“The people in heaven are too showy.”
With Sister Li’s remark, countless stone columns rose up in the square. Each stone column had a table and ten chairs, marked with a number.
Li Yao’s spot was in the center of the square and had the highest column.
There were only one hundred stone columns in this square, marked from 1-100.
But one could see more columns in other squares, which were densely packed, indicating spots for other ranks. Only those who passed the first test could ascend the columns.
Some luminous food and fruits appeared on the table.
Feng Yi directly opened the official live stream. Everyone watched the live stream while eating.
After some commenting on other teams, they were also cautious. Because they noticed, many teams were extremely strong.
Some of them were even stronger than them, the only difference being Li Yao’s unpredictability.
After half an hour, everyone felt better. Li Yao clapped his hands and said, “Alright, let’s now distribute the three golden outfits and two ordinary wing shards dropped by the chest.”…
