Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 54 The Treasure Chest of Destiny (Please continue reading)

Another Treasure Chest of Destiny. Li Xia's mind grew increasingly puzzled. What exactly was in this treasure chest?
He had asked the Hall of Transcendence before, but perhaps because he had been too conspicuous, the Hall of Transcendence remained as silent as if it were dead.

To avoid any misunderstandings, Li Xia decided to wait for Chaotuo to contact her first.

Perhaps Li Xia's silence had lasted a while, because the other party took the initiative to break the silence.

"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Cloud, the Brotherhood of Steel's Recruiting Officer."

Li Xia's thoughts were interrupted, and she frowned, almost subconsciously asking:
"You're not Tier 1?"

"Yes, someone asked you the same question before, and you should have already met him."

Claude readily admitted it:

"But don't worry, I won't participate in any ranking competitions, nor will I cause you any trouble."

In fact, I was just an observer.

"Because of draft picks?"

“Very keen intuition.”

Claude's voice carried an air of appreciation:

"Although I know it's unlikely, I still can't help but ask, would you like to join our Brotherhood of Steel?"
I will apply to the team for the most prestigious seed treatment and do my best to nurture you.

As long as you don't fail halfway through, you might even become a core member of the group!

Join a guild?

Li Xia shook his head. He could hide his special abilities from the Hall of Light, which only used 10% of its brain.

It's absolutely impossible to fool the old fox who's been fighting in the Infinite for who knows how long.

"Sorry, I have no intention of joining a guild."

Claude let out a sigh of regret:
"Sigh—okay, I respect and understand your choice, but I still want to offer a piece of advice tactfully:"
Countless amazing apostles have appeared throughout the long history.

However, not many of them grew up smoothly; on the contrary, many mediocre apostles went further.

The Hall's dynamic difficulty matching mechanism will push you to your limits every time, but it will also give you rewards that match the difficulty level every time.

What you give, you receive; that is the essence of a temple.

Therefore, with the help of a team, you can progress more steadily and safely. If you feel you can't persevere, feel free to contact me anytime.

Li Xia listened attentively. He had never entered a proper hall or communicated with anyone before.

Moreover, even if you enter the hall of fame, it's unlikely you'll find anyone from a major guild willing to share anything with you.

So he thanked them very sincerely. Sometimes information is a resource, just like the 500-point Trial World Intelligence Collection that newcomers all buy.

Claude was very satisfied with Li Xia's reply, so he decided to make an exception and reveal a little more information:
"If you have the opportunity in the future, I suggest you establish a guild, even if it's just you, because only guilds have the right to obtain 'territory'."

The strength of top-tier guilds far exceeds your imagination; for example, us... well, I'd better not go into details."

Claude paused, then changed the subject:

"Let's talk about the Treasure Chest of Destiny."

Honestly, if it weren't for observing that you obtained the Treasure Chest of Destiny...

I simply can't believe that someone could obtain it at level one.

However, its value isn't as high as you might imagine. We crave the Treasure Chest of Destiny, but we're not so willing to pay a hefty price.

Li Xia frowned. Claude's words were contradictory: "Why is that?"

“This is because of the uncertainty of the Treasure Chest of Destiny. Most people have only heard of the Treasure Chest of Destiny, but know nothing about it.” Claude explained patiently, “To give you an analogy, the Treasure Chest of Destiny is like a lottery ticket. The odds of winning are very low, but if you do win, you will gain something very important.”

Furthermore, winning this lottery ticket inherently involves uncertainty; do you understand now?

"Um"

Those guilds are willing to accept treasure chests as if they were lottery tickets; they desperately want to win the lottery, but they can't afford to pay more than the price of the prize.

That's why this situation has arisen.

"Even so, if you choose to sell it, what you get is still amazing for a Tier 1, enough to smoothly advance to Tier 4."

I guarantee you'll have suitable equipment for each tier you level up; it won't be top-tier, but it definitely won't be ordinary either.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xia asked, "What can you get from the Treasure Chest of Destiny?"

“Destiny equipment!” Claude’s tone was surprisingly awe-inspiring. “First of all, destiny chests are completely different from ordinary chests.”

Normal treasure chests are generated by the Hall of Fame from the enemies you kill, and at most, they will add equipment to the Hall of Fame equipment pool.

But the Treasure Chest of Destiny is different; its opening is unrelated to luck (Li Xia raised his eyebrows, even showing some joy).

When opened, the treasure chest will weigh the opener's fate; the higher the fate weight, the more likely it is to yield a Fate-themed item.

Or rather, the Treasure Chest of Destiny has only two outcomes: Destiny Equipment or an empty chest.

Claude spoke fluently and without any intention of hiding anything, or rather, there was no need to hide anything.

Although few people have heard of the Treasure Chest of Destiny, the other families already know that there might be one, and this cannot be kept secret any longer.

If you're determined, you can always find out.

"Destiny equipment has transcended the limitations of rank. Only by obtaining it will you know how amazing it is. Once you obtain destiny equipment, it will evolve into the most suitable form according to your destiny. It can accompany you to travel through infinite worlds until the end of your journey."

Li Xia keenly sensed what was hidden in Claude's words: the limitation of rank?
"Does this mean that ordinary equipment becomes unusable after being upgraded?"

Claude laughed heartily: "You don't actually think that advancing in rank is just about moving to a different place, do you? Or that different rank worlds are just different planets in the same universe?"

Huh? Isn't that right?
Li Xia frowned. He had always thought that the so-called adventures in different worlds were just about going to different planets in the universe, and he had never even thought of asking about the Transcendent Hall.

Claude laughed heartily, as if he had made the same mistake and been laughed at in the same way before.

After laughing for a while, Claude gradually calmed down, his aged voice carrying a strange solemnity and reverence.

"Every world is just an insignificant bubble in the void sea, and every advancement is a leap forward for the world!"

Li Xia didn't quite understand, but he was greatly shocked.

Silence fell over the walkie-talkie.

After a long while, Claude slowly said, "Well? Can you give me an answer?"

Li Xia took a deep breath and said slowly as well:

"Thank you for your explanation, but I want to test the weight of my own destiny!"

"Is that so? It's a pity, but all apostles who reach the highest rank will make that choice."
