Gao Wu: I inherited the evil organization in the game

Chapter 658 Generous Rewards, Silver Treasure Chest Opened

As a low-profile villain behind the scenes, it's really too high-profile to unleash such eye-catching power.

It really is...

Feng Mu shook his head, suppressing this concern for the time being. It would be a bit of an overreaction to worry about how to disguise and use the power that he had not yet mastered.

"It's better to worry about this after we've truly unlocked the mysteries of the Third Eye's power," Feng Mu thought to himself.

The most urgent task is to digest all the gains from tonight and properly upgrade ourselves.

Maybe, as you level up, your pupil power will increase, and then the pupil technique in your right eye will be unleashed, making you invincible.

Although the possibility is extremely small, it is not entirely zero.

It should be noted that the abilities of the Kaleidoscope are known for being beyond the norm and almost "unreasonable." Some particularly overpowered eye techniques do indeed possess the power to make one almost "ascend to godhood in one step."

[Eternal Corridor] is already an enhanced version of Tsukuyomi, and it definitely deserves the title of one of the "strongest illusions".

The word "one of" is added to prevent it from becoming arrogant!
So, what exactly is this right eye technique that is even more powerful than [Eternal Corridor] and requires even more pupil power to activate?

Just thinking about it makes me so excited and itchy!

Is it another form of mental attack? Is it interference involving space and even time? Is it some kind of conceptual ability? Or... an even more incredible power?
I can't figure it out, I simply can't.

Feng Mu let out a long breath, slightly cooling the burning anticipation in his eyes.

He blinked at the mirror, and his pupils returned to normal silently. However, his unfathomable black eyes held a depth of things far greater than those of an ordinary person.

As he focused his mind, lines of settlement text, visible only to him, once again appeared orderly at the bottom of his field of vision:
[Statistical settlement completed]
[Note: Today's game progress has consecutively surpassed 18%, 19%, and 20%.]
The cumulative rewards are as follows:
Special skill point *1
1 Normal Skill Point
Attribute points * 4
General skill proficiency * 30000
Marrow Cleansing Pill *1
Silver Treasure Chest *1 (Unopened)
Looking at the long list of generous rewards in front of him, Feng Mu could no longer suppress the joyful smile that crept onto his lips.

There's no way around it, tonight was just too busy, one thing led to another, and one event after another happened.

When many rewards arrived, he was so engrossed in his work that he had no time to carefully examine and claim them, causing the joy of these rewards to be delayed and accumulated time and time again.

Now, all the noise and commotion have temporarily subsided, and he is alone in this quiet bathroom, finally getting a moment's respite.

"Finally, I can add points in peace and quiet. It's really not easy." A sense of satisfaction welled up in Feng Mu's heart.

You know what, precisely because the rewards were delayed and piled up all at once, the joy of finally getting them all out at once was multiplied, making it impossible for Feng Mu to suppress his smile.

"This feeling is actually a bit like the exhilarating feeling of buying a bunch of things online in my past life, accumulating all the packages together, and then opening them all at once."

Feng Mu recalled the continuous satisfaction he felt when he opened a pile of packages at the door in his previous life. He never expected to experience that again in this life.

Feng Mu's gaze swept over the rewards in front of him one by one.

Special skill points, regular skill points, attribute points, a large amount of general proficiency, and the long-awaited final Marrow Cleansing Pill, plus a silver treasure chest full of unknown allure...

"Awesome! Which one to open first? It's a wonderful dilemma..."

A soft, amused murmur echoed in the bathroom:

"Wow, quite a lot, hehehe—"

His non-stop rush to various events tonight was definitely worth it; he's really made a fortune!

So, should we add attributes first, upgrade skills first, or take the Marrow Cleansing Pill first...? Of course, none of these are correct. The first thing to do is to open the chest.

The greatest joy in life lies in constantly leveling up and becoming stronger, and the most heart-pounding and exciting part of the leveling-up journey is undoubtedly opening unknown treasure chests.

Feng Mu stared at the mirror, but his gaze seemed to penetrate the boundary between illusion and reality, landing on a silver treasure chest that existed between the two.

The next instant, a crisp "click" sounded in my mind, and the silver treasure chest lid popped open.

In an instant, silver light flashed, and a line of system subtitles appeared leisurely in the center of his vision:

[You've opened the Silver Treasure Chest!]
You obtained the following items:
[1. Your equipment inventory has been expanded, adding two empty equipment slots.]
[2. You have obtained 1 B-grade lottery ticket.]
[3. You have gained 100000 General Skill Proficiency]
[4. You have obtained a building module (to be activated)]
Four rewards appeared one after another, their radiance flowing.

Feng Mu's gaze first fell on the first item—equipment slot expansion.

The importance of equipment slots goes without saying; naturally, the more the better.

Although Feng Mu's limited equipment slots are still not full, he believes that as the inheritance level continues to increase, equipment slots will become increasingly scarce.

It's always a good idea to create more open spaces in advance.

His gaze then slid to the second item—a B-level lottery ticket.

Just as he expected, the equipment slots would soon come in handy.

"Speaking of the Silver Treasure Chest we opened last time, the first two rewards seemed to be these two items as well. Was it a coincidence? Or is this a fixed reward combination for the Silver Treasure Chest?"

Feng Mu stared at the lottery ticket that shimmered with a purple glow in his eyes, and without hesitation, used it, silently reciting in his mind:

"lottery!"

In an instant, the purple lottery ticket exploded, turning into countless dazzling particles of light.

The light particles spun and condensed rapidly, eventually transforming into a huge and dazzling wheel before his eyes.

The roulette wheel shimmered with light, its various runes and patterns flickering on and off, as if carrying countless unknown possibilities.

As soon as the roulette wheel took shape, it began to spin at an almost insane speed, leaving behind streaks of illusory light.

Feng Mu held his breath, his gaze drawn as if by a magnet, intently following the rotating pointer at the center. Every flicker of light, every change of color, clearly captivated his attention.

Gold, silver, purple, red, blue, green, white... the various colored areas blurred into a dazzling band of light as they spun at high speed.

No matter how many times you've participated in a lottery, the moment the pointer starts spinning, anticipation and nervousness will still uncontrollably surge into your heart.

The rapidly spinning wheel began to gradually slow down, and the dazzling shimmering light slowly settled, making the different colored areas clearly distinguishable.

The pointer moves across each area, its speed decreasing, decreasing...

It trembled slightly, its slender tip pointing directly at a small but dazzling area—a golden region!
Feng Mu's heart almost stopped beating for a moment!

gold?!!

The probability of winning an S-grade item is only 0.1%.

The thought flashed through Feng Mu's mind like lightning. Feng Mu held his breath completely, afraid that he might blow the roulette wheel pointer off course with a single breath.

Time seems to be stretched infinitely.

The tip of the pointer coincided with the edge of the golden area, seemingly about to freeze completely, bringing him an unexpected ecstasy. However, fate's cruel joke always seems to unfold at the climax.

Even when he stopped breathing, the roulette wheel pointer, just as it was about to stop, still... trembled slightly.

It was that one shudder.

Feng Mu instantly recalled the mechanical claw that always subtly trembled at the last moment when he played the claw machine in the mall in his previous life;
I also recall that, regardless of past or present lives, the rice scoops held by the cafeteria ladies at school always inevitably trembled before falling.

"Damn, there's definitely something fishy going on here," Feng Mu cursed inwardly.

Did this lottery system learn from claw machine manufacturers and cafeteria ladies?

Finally, the roulette wheel stopped spinning, and the pointer trembled as it stopped a little next to the gold... and burst out with a silver light.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the Phantom Axe (Grade A equipment)]
[Category: Agility-based Equipment]
[Bind on Equipment: Soul Brand]
[Base bonuses: Agility +18, Attack Speed ​​+25%.]
Passive effect:

Illusion Maze:

When moving at high speed, it leaves behind illusions (up to 10) that have physical attack power and last for 8 seconds. The illusions have pseudo-physical forms and inherit some attributes from the original body.

Shadow Strike:
The illusion's attack will ignore 15% of the target's physical armor and inflict the [Tear] effect (causing continuous bleeding damage).

Void Sensing (Advanced Evasion Intuition):

For each illusion generated, the evasion rate of all allies increases by 1%. (This effect can stack with other evasion-related attributes.)
Illusion Bomb:

When an illusion is killed by an enemy, there is a 40% chance that it will self-destruct, dealing corrosive damage to enemies within a 10-meter radius.

Phantom Walk (Advanced Terrain Affinity):

When moving on any terrain, it is treated as "flat ground" and its movement speed is increased by 30%. Footsteps are completely eliminated and are difficult to hear by conventional means of perception.

Active Effect 1 - Phantom Strike:
Consuming a large amount of stamina, it instantly performs a super-fast dash in the designated direction (maximum distance 150 meters), creating two phantom copies behind all enemies in its path.

The phantom lasts for 15 seconds, has 50% of the original's attack power, and takes 300% of the damage.

Active Effect 2 - Clone:
It actively creates 3 phantom clones, each inheriting 35% of the original's attack power, able to use some of the original's skills, with 200% of the original's health, and will actively attack enemies and attract aggro.

Duration: 4 minutes; Cooldown: 20 minutes.

(P.S.: Except for clones created by active effects, other clones do not inherit the original's skills and can only perform basic attacks!)
"So close! Just a tiny bit more! System, are you secretly manipulating things again?"

Feng Mu didn't hesitate to speculate about the system's "character" with the utmost malice, and a silent resentment welled up in his heart.

But it was all in vain; the system didn't respond at all. After all, the system doesn't have any concept of "character."

It took Feng Mu a good five or six seconds to recover from the heartache caused by the huge drop in his heart.

S-rank is ultimately an illusion; the A-rank right in front of you is the real gain.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to refocus on his newly acquired equipment—his first A-grade piece of equipment.

After taking a closer look, his previously depressed mood was finally dispelled by the powerful attributes of the equipment itself, and he felt slightly better.

Well, as expected of an A-grade piece of equipment with a winning probability of only 0.9%, its outstanding feature is its power.

The bonus to his basic attribute values ​​alone was enough to leave him speechless.

A whopping 18 points of agility is simply outrageous.

It's worth noting that his current B-grade equipment, [The Deceitful Glasses] and [The Magician's Card], only provides a total of 14 attribute points.

Numerically speaking, one A-grade piece of equipment is almost equal to the sum of two and a half B-grade pieces of equipment.

And this is only the attribute part; the long list of mouthwatering skill descriptions that follow is where its true value is revealed.

[Illusion Maze] provides battlefield disruption and sustained damage output. It can create numerous illusions while moving, and these illusions are real. Combined with the "ghostly shadows" created by Soul Chaser Step, it is even more difficult to defend against.

[Shadow Strike] can pierce armor and tear open wounds, its lethality is beyond doubt.

[Void Sensing] enhances evasion; illusions persist, evasion continues, greatly improving survivability.

[Illusion Bomb] can retaliate even after death, unleashing area-of-effect corrosive damage, making it a typical example of "being annoying even after death".

[Phantom Walk] allows me to walk as if on flat ground and also silences me, making it perfect for stealth assassinations.

The other two initiatives are also extremely powerful.

[Phantom Strike] combines long-range displacement, group illusion generation, battlefield entry and withdrawal, with gorgeous effects and high combat effectiveness.

[Clone] can create a physical clone that can release skills, which is enough to confuse the enemy. Moreover, it has more health than the original body. Whether used for surrounding, luring enemies, or acting as a scapegoat, it is a unique skill.

As Feng Mu looked at the skill descriptions, he was secretly alarmed.

Unlike [The Deceitful Glasses], [The Magician's Cards], or [The Cloak of the Misty], those three pieces of equipment, while also increasing combat power, are more or less geared towards auxiliary functions.

The [Phantom Axe] is purely an offensive weapon, with every skill designed for combat.

In other words, in the game's terms, the [Phantom Axe] can serve as Feng Mu's main weapon at this stage.

Feng Mu made his judgment and became increasingly excited. A powerful main weapon would have an immediate effect on improving combat effectiveness.

With a thought, he slightly lowered his hands, and a uniquely shaped battle axe appeared out of thin air in his hands.

Its entire body has a cold, silvery-white color, as if it were forged from some unknown metal, or like solidified moonlight. It is cold to the touch and exudes a sinister chill.

It weighs far more than it appears, is exceptionally heavy, and has an extremely high density.

If Feng Mu's strength attribute weren't quite superior, he would probably find it extremely difficult just to lift it, let alone wield it in battle.

The axe blade is not the traditional rounded shape, but has sharper angles and curves, with a faint glint of light flowing at the tip, leaving no doubt about its sharpness in cutting hair.

The axe, including the handle, was about half a person's height, which took up a lot of space in the cramped bathroom, making it impossible to use it properly.

Looking at himself in the mirror, holding two axes upside down, Feng Mu exuded a menacing aura, making him look even more like a "murderous maniac," which made him happier the more he looked at him.

But the happier I am, the more my heart bleeds.

If A-grade equipment is already this powerful, how terrifying must S-grade equipment be? It's so close, really so close...

Feng Mu was unwilling, but suddenly seemed to remember something and paused:
"Wait a minute!! Did I forget something? I think I... had an upgrade ticket that I didn't use?"
