Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Ultimate Treasure Chest
Half an hour later, she emerged from the bathroom smelling fresh and fragrant. She sat down on the living room sofa, a brilliant gold treasure box cradled in her arms, her expression filled with solemnity.
"Come on, my precious, you have to come through for me. Just give me one good card. My standards aren’t even that high—I’ll be happy with a single five-star card."
Perry Yates muttered under her breath.
After about five minutes, she took a deep breath and opened the Ultimate Treasure Chest in her hands.
With a flash of golden light, two brilliant gold cards appeared in her hands.
Perry Yates’s breathing grew heavier as she stared at the two cards shimmering with golden light.
’They’re really item cards? And not just one, but two? Since when was the game system this generous?’
All the five-star cards she had seen so far had been item cards, so Perry Yates naturally assumed these two were item cards as well.
But when she got a clear look at the two cards, she was stunned.
Five-star Skill Cards.
On the front of one of the golden cards were three black figures standing side by side.
Clone: Use different elements to condense a clone. The clone possesses seventy percent of the original body’s strength.
The clone and the original body can exist simultaneously.
The number of clones cannot exceed three at any one time.
Then, the second card.
War God Armor: Condense different elements to form armor on the surface of your body, enhancing defensive and combat power.
She checked the card attributes. Without a doubt, both cards were of the Sun, Moon, and Wood three attributes, which were most suitable for her.
After joyfully fusing the two Skill Cards, Perry Yates eagerly began to test their abilities.
First was Clone.
The card’s description stated that she could use different elements to condense a clone.
However, after several attempts, Perry Yates concluded that while all elements could indeed form a clone, only the Sun Attribute and Wood Attribute clones actually had any combat capability.
The others were all obviously fakes at a glance and had no fighting strength whatsoever.
As for the final Moon attribute, it was slightly better than the others, but compared to the clones condensed from the Wood and Sun attributes, it was weaker by a long shot.
Perry Yates glanced at the weather outside, thinking, ’Could this be related to the sun? I’ll wait until tonight to try again.’
With the experience from the Clone skill, when Perry Yates tested the War God Armor, she directly used the Sun, Moon, and Wood attributes to condense it.
The entire process was also very smooth.
Perry Yates looked at the armor covering her body and moved her arms and legs.
As she moved, the plates of armor constantly scraped against each other, emitting the sound of grinding metal.
However, she herself didn’t feel much weight from it.
Next, Perry Yates tested the duration of the two skills.
If there was only one Clone, its duration was a bit longer.
Moreover, perhaps because it was daytime, Perry Yates could feel that the Wood Attribute Clone consumed more energy than the Sun Attribute Clone.
The Moon Attribute Clone was the weakest, but its energy consumption was the highest.
Seeing this, Perry Yates couldn’t help but think, ’Looks like my guess was right. It seems the Sun Attribute and Moon Attribute clones can only be used during the day and night, respectively.’
The Wood Attribute Clone, however, had no such restriction.
Then came the War God Armor.
She first tried using the three-energy War God Armor. Unquestionably, the War God Armor was strongest in this form, but it also had the highest energy consumption, lasting for about an hour.
Once the time was up, her internal energy would be almost completely depleted.
Next were the individual Wood Attribute, Sun Attribute, and Moon Attribute versions.
The War God Armor of these three attributes each had different characteristics.
The Wood Attribute War God Armor could control plants for combat, the Sun Attribute War God Armor had the strongest attack power, and the Moon Attribute War God Armor was the fastest and possessed powerful Recovery Power.
These three single-attribute versions of the War God Armor consumed far less energy than the three-attribute version, and could last for about two to three hours.
By the time Perry Yates had finished testing both skills, the sky outside had completely darkened, but she wasn’t the least bit sleepy.
She excitedly opened the game forum, entered her game ID, and accessed the forum’s internal section.
As expected, the forum was abuzz with heated discussions about the recent game.
Because Perry Yates arrived late, she had missed the peak of the excitement.
But she could still see many people showing off their gains, making other players green with envy.
If one ignored the dangers within the game, with the sheer number of cards available, this round could be considered a "welfare round."
On the game forum now, countless people were regretting their choice to leave early.
If they hadn’t left, they would be the ones showing off on the forum right now.
Unfortunately, there were no "if onlys."
Even if they had chosen to stay, it was more likely they would have just ended up as another corpse in the game.
Of course, there were also many sober-minded posts on the game forum.
<You people only see the thief enjoying his feast, but you never see him getting beaten for it. You only see the huge number of cards people brought back, but do you have any idea how many people died in this game? Do you know what it means for not even one in ten to survive? You have no idea how we survived those last few days.
That feeling of your body slowly freezing until it goes numb, piece by piece turning necrotic... I never want to experience that again in my life.>
Unfortunately, this person’s post didn’t attract much attention.
Most players were more focused on where those cards were ending up.
Everyone knew that a lot of Advanced Cards had been brought out, but the majority of them were Ice Attribute and Water Attribute Cards.
So, players who had fused these two card attributes started searching everywhere for more cards, while those who hadn’t had the chance to fuse cards yet were also desperately seeking an Advanced Card.
At that moment, a message suddenly appeared, forcefully taking over the computer screens of Perry Yates and the other players.
<Official Notice: We are now recalling all Skill Cards and item cards. Interested players, please proceed to the nearest Survival Game Administration to handle the relevant procedures.
Cards will be re-evaluated based on their level and rarity and exchanged for a corresponding amount of Contribution Value. Contribution Value can be used to exchange for cards at the Survival Game Administration.
Additionally, starting today, all resources in the Survival Game Administration will be prioritized for exchange using Contribution Value.>
After reading the notice, Perry Yates couldn’t help but click her tongue. ’The officials really are something else. They don’t make a move often, but when they do, it’s a big one.’
’This is probably going to tempt a lot of people. After all, no matter how good a card you bring back is, if it’s not suitable for you, it’s just a useless card.’
