Radiant Backpack
Level: 10
Quality: Radiant
Slots: 99
Limit: 99
99 slots, with a limit of 99 per slot, meaning it can store 9801 units of resources.
This result far exceeded Zhou Heng's expectations.
According to Zhou Heng's original plan, getting a backpack with 20 slots and a limit of 20 would be the absolute best.
But he hadn't expected that simply offering a yellow crane cigarette would get him a Radiant-grade backpack with 99 slots and a limit of 99.
"I thought I had a decent gambling spirit, but it seems there's always someone better~" Zhou Heng couldn't help but chuckle.
Now that this thing was in his hands, there was no way he was giving it back.
This backpack was enough for him to use in the Boundless and Endless World for a long time.
"Next, I just need to lie low and wait for 2 AM."
Thinking, Zhou Heng glanced at his attribute panel.
In the time it took him to go and come back, two hours, he had only recovered 2 points of magic power.
Without enough magic recovery supplies, it would likely take forever for his 60 points of magic power to fully recover.
Zhou Heng found a relatively comfortable place to hide, and soon it was around 2 AM.
"It's about time. How many resources I can harvest this time depends on whether the people attacking the Black Bear Guild are capable!" Calculating the time, Zhou Heng began heading towards the Black Bear Guild resource outpost.
According to Destiny Prompt Two, he only had half an hour. Subtracting the travel time to and fro, the actual time left for him might only be fifteen to twenty minutes. As long as he was quick, he could definitely harvest a good amount of resources.
At 1:58 AM, Zhou Heng arrived at the Black Bear Guild resource outpost and found it brightly lit. He could vaguely hear laughter coming from inside, as if they had discovered something amazing.
Zhou Heng made no move, hiding in a small patch of grass in the distance, holding his breath and waiting.
At this moment, in the depths of the darkness where Zhou Heng couldn't see, three figures wearing pitch-black magic robes appeared on the branches.
"Pretending to repair the plank roads while secretly crossing the Chencang Pass. It's not without reason that the Black Bear Guild was able to spread throughout most of the Sakas Empire in just a hundred years."
"It's a pity, they calculated everything but failed to calculate that everything is within our grasp."
"Let's move. We only have half an hour. We must take the things before the powerful players of the Black Bear Guild arrive."
As the leader of the three figures in black robes spoke, he glanced sideways at Zhou Heng hiding in the grass and chuckled softly.
"I didn't expect there would be a reserve member from our organization here. They're quite bold, but... oh well~"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Suddenly, strong winds howled over the Black Bear Guild resource outpost.
"Who's there?"
"Damn it, enemy attack, enemy attack~"
"Who are you? Why are you attacking our Black Bear Guild? Aren't you afraid of the wrath of our Black Bear Guild's higher-ups?"
...
Zhou Heng didn't know what was happening at the Black Bear Guild resource outpost, but from afar, he heard Black Bear Overlord's furious and exasperated roar.
Following that, there were flashes of fire, water-blue light, and the sound of howling wind all around.
The opportunity has arrived!
A glint flashed in Zhou Heng's eyes. Staying close to the Black Bear Guild resource outpost, he seized the moment when the Black Bear Guild members, fully engaged in combat, weren't paying attention, and slipped sideways into the Black Bear Guild resource outpost.
【You entered the Black Bear Guild Resource Vault】
【Authenticating identity...】
【You are a Black Bear Guild member, you have received a temporary guild quest】
【Protect Black Bear Guild resources from being invaded, and transfer Black Bear Guild resource point resources as much as possible】
【Quest Reward: For every 1 silver coin worth of resources saved, you are rewarded 1 copper coin (Funds are instantly credited, effective upon placing into backpack)】
Zhou Heng was dumbfounded.
He had seen people give money away, but never like this.
If putting it in the backpack makes it instantly effective, how much could he rake in with the Radiant Backpack in hand this trip?
Zhou Heng didn't know, but he knew that every second spent thinking now was money slipping away!
Zhou Heng scanned the Black Bear Guild Resource Vault, his gaze first locking onto the deepest area, where three items were held aloft.
Zhou Heng didn't have time to look, nor the time to examine. He rushed forward and put these three items into the Radiant Backpack.
【You stored the skill "Raging Sea"】
【You stored the weapon "Great Sun Divine Bow (Fake)"】
【You stored the unknown item "ceramic shards"】
【You stored 3 gold coins worth of resources, rewarded 3 silver coins】
Looking at the 3 silver coins that instantly credited, Zhou Heng suppressed the joy in his heart and continued to search for resources useful to him.
【You stored resource "Small Blue Potion" x1000】
【You stored resource "Small Mana Potion" x5000】
【You stored resources worth over 150,000 copper coins, rewarded 150 copper coins】
1000 copper coins equals 1 silver coin, 1000 silver coins equals 1 gold coin.
Although he didn't know why the two rewards were different, Zhou Heng didn't care as long as he got the resources. That little bit of money was merely a drop in the bucket compared to the resources he harvested.
Zhou Heng's backpack had 9801 slots. After deducting the 6000 slots used for the mana potions and the initial three items, he could still harvest 3798 slots worth of resources.
But just as Zhou Heng was preparing to continue harvesting, he subconsciously glanced at the time and realized he had been inside for over twenty minutes. If he continued harvesting, he definitely wouldn't have time to escape.
Zhou Heng didn't hesitate at all, decisively giving up on filling the remaining 3798 slots, and fled like a scared rabbit towards the outside of the Black Bear Guild resource outpost.
Just after Zhou Heng had left, Black Bear Overlord rushed into the resource outpost and saw the three items missing from the deepest part, roaring uncontrollably.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"Who... who... took the resources I painstakingly farmed..."
"Sword of Light, one day I'll kill all of you~"
...
Zhou Heng jogged all the way to the Blazing Fire Fountain. Only after confirming that no one was chasing him did he feel at ease to check the harvest in his backpack.
Raging Sea
Quality: Complex
Consumes 50 magic power, summons a water element to cast "Raging Sea", unleashing a wave attack directly ahead, dealing magic x2.0 coefficient damage.
Wave: 2 meters high, 5 meters wide
Cooldown: 15s
Learning Condition One: Water Mage
Learning Condition Two (Normal Grade): Water Attribute Damage Reduction 100
Learning Condition Three (Complex Grade): Read "Water Ripple Codex" 3 times
The higher the quality of the skill, the greater the learning difficulty. Zhou Heng had learned this long ago in his textbooks.
But he hadn't expected that a skill book of merely Complex quality would be so difficult.
Not to mention the 100 Water Attribute Damage Reduction, just the "Water Ripple Codex" alone, Zhou Heng remembered that this codex was in "Radiant Light City", one of the nine major cities in the Sakas Empire, and required a certain amount of contribution points.
In other words, to learn this skill, one not only needed to meet the required Water Attribute Damage Reduction but also had to go to "Radiant Light City" to farm attributes.
This skill was equivalent to useless for the current Zhou Heng, and his gaze naturally turned to the second item.
