Chapter 225 - Treasure Box (2)
Chapter 225: Treasure Box (2)
However, I continued casually because I had something else to tell them. “Besides, I received a treasure box as the main reward for 100% achievement rate but I don’t know what it is. It has no grade.” My mom and sister just stared at me blankly, but I just ignored them and casually used up my chopsticks to pick up a side dish, put it in my mouth and chew on it slowly to finish my breakfast.. After breakfast, my sister said, “Don’t lie!” She kept following me and harassing me, “Don’t lie!” Obviously, she did not believe me at all.
Of course, I understood her feelings because I received an enormous reward for just clearing one quest.
“Do you want me to show it to you, sis?” “Yep! I want to confirm it with my own eyes!”
As if she was waiting for my reply, she nodded. Since my reward was not something secret enough to keep it from my sister, I accessed ‘Revival Legend’ after agreeing to meet her in our secret house at Rodon Castle. What’s more, even though my sister said I was lying, she still was really happy as if she got the reward, so I felt that she was very happy and proud of me from the bottom of her heart. In the safe house at Rodon Castle. It seemed that my sister wasn’t there alone.
Not only my father and brother, but also Director Sok was also waiting for me. Of course, I didn’t care because I was going to show it to them anyway. So I opened my mouth quietly. “Open message window.” [Congratulations! -You have cleared the level 900 limited quest with a 100% achievement rate. You have received the following rewards.
: You receive all 3,875.9 million golden rings you have acquired while moving. : : : You receive 1170 weapon enhancement stones, 1760 armor enhancement stones, and 392 accessory enhancement stones you have obtained while moving.] “…” “…” “…” Director Sok and my family members could not hide their shock.
Then I opened the message about the treasure box because it was the most important. “Oh my God! You really got a100% achievement rate?” “You really finished it?” “Look at the reward!” Surprised, each of them uttered admiration at my achievement. Then my sister opened her mouth in a loud voice.
“But why did you make such a sullen expression for this enormous reward?” It was natural that she asked such a question because I really made a gloomy and frustrated expression before. But I didn’t have anything to say. In fact, I have come to know the identity of the root only recently, and I could not actually use it. Besides, I had never told my family about it before. Anyway, I spent time with my dad, brother and sister as they heaped praise and encouragement on me.
Of course, even my sister, who achieved level 1200 first among our family members, applauded me. In Kotum Castle. “Check status window.” At this point, my primary goal was to achieve level 1200. Although I could not forget about the root, I could not stay idle forever because of that, so I opened my status window first before moving to the Cunning Vampire Garrison. I knew that I have acquired more than 10 billion EXP, but I didn’t confirm how many levels it corresponded to. Besides, I had a total of 2300 remaining stat points, including 2000 stat points that I had not yet invested, and 300 stat points earned from the title ‘Quest Master.’
[Name: Lumen, Asirante Level: 942 Number of kills: 4157, Number of deaths: 0 Title: Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever and 8 others. Health: 3,709,000 / 3,709,000 Mana: 2,485,000 / 2,485,000 Strength: 6528 Agility: 5475 Health: 23650 Willpower: 14565 Intellect: 28715 Remaining Stat Points: 2702 Remaining Skill Points: 2 Characteristics: IceMan, Mutual Growth, God of Enhancement] “Wow!” I uttered admiration unwittingly because I received so many rewards to think that I got them from only one quest. Then, I got a little humbled at the fact that it was because of the root’s sacrifice that I could obtain these huge rewards.
However, I invested all the remaining 2702 stat points in Intellect because I had no intention of being melancholic about the root forever. The moment I was about to move to the central plaza of Kotum Castle in order to use the two skill points, one item came to my mind. It was the treasure box that could be called the real main reward. I gently pulled out the treasure box from my inventory. The box was very big.
“Hope and strive for it. And dream for it! Then you will realize it…” I read the description of the treasure box once again, but I did not understand. “Hmm… I can realize any dream? Then if I hope for level 1200, level 3000, or level 5000, does it mean I can get that much EXP?” What I want to achieve right now is level 1200, but when I thought about level 1200, I became more greedy. I even thought as high as level 5000, but I could aim even higher than that. It would be even better for me to wish for 10,000, 20,000, or 50,000 or more remaining stat points. That way, I would still get the remaining stat points earned from leveling up as well.
Then, I came to dream of a random box with hundreds and thousands of skill points and hundreds and thousands of myth-grade items, not to mention the myth grade accessory expansion charm that could allow me to equip more items, and ancient cooldown removal charms. Besides, I recalled the traits of Item Master and Skill Master that I experienced recently which I thought were a real scam. Before I knew it, I kept thinking about such delusions because I really wanted so many things. But I shook my head a lot because no matter how much I thought about them, it’s just ridiculous to have such delusions come true, given my level.
So, I immediately opened the treasure box, still occupied with such delusions. At that moment, a light which was so bright that it blinded my eyes came out of the box. At the same time, a message rang. [There is a reward that the opener currently wants so badly. [The root is bestowed to you.] “?”
I looked blankly at the message before my eyes. Of course, I thought about the root, but clearly, the root played no part in my delusions
. I was instead dreaming of the random box containing level 5000, 50,000 stat points, hundreds of skill points, and thousands of myth-grade items and other traits that had more powerful abilities than the root. But suddenly, the root came out. Of course, there was no guarantee that my delusions would be granted anyway.
However, I thought that it was possible that even those things that existed in my delusions would actually come out, given the fact that the root whose disappearance made me feel so empty appeared again like this. At that moment, I just sat down helplessly. If so, I may have missed a great opportunity right now, even though I admitted I obtained this huge amount of rewards only due to the root’s sacrifice.
