Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

Lin Xiao arrived at the lounge prepared by Minister Qin.

The heavy, soundproof door clicked shut.

Completely shut out the noise from outside the door.

It has to be said that the national team's sincerity in recruiting players is truly remarkable.

This isn't a lounge; it's like bringing the presidential suite of a five-star hotel here.

The leather sofa was as soft as a cloud, and the temperature-controlled wine cabinet was filled with rare and expensive spirits.

Even the steam rising from that small hot spring pool had a strong, bloody aroma.

Lin Xiao casually unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, slumped into the sofa without any regard for his image, and let out a long sigh.

Don't be fooled by his nonchalant and sage-like demeanor in the dungeon; in reality, he maintains the high-intensity operation of his All-Knowing Eye throughout the entire process.

My mental energy was already completely depleted.

My brain feels like it's about to explode, throbbing with pain.

"Your Majesty, are you tired?"

Su Daji knelt obediently beside the sofa, extending her boneless, soft hand to gently press Lin Xiao's temples.

A faint, exotic fragrance lingered around his nose, instantly relaxing Lin Xiao's tense nerves.

"It's alright, just a bit of overusing my eyes."

Lin Xiao closed his eyes, enjoying the services of the peerless enchantress, but his consciousness had already sunk deep into the depths of his mind.

There, three blind boxes emitting a rainbow glow were quietly floating.

"Come on, let me see what tricks this so-called 'supreme' is hiding."

With a thought, golden data streams exploded from the depths of Lin Xiao's dark pupils.

[The All-Seeing Eye, activated.]

The gaze penetrates the dazzling appearance of blind boxes, directly seeing their essence.

The first blind box exuded a chilling, deathly stillness.

[Item: Fragment of Death's Divine Essence (Incomplete)]

[Rank: Seven-Colored Supreme]

[Description: A fragment of the divine essence of the ruler of the Western Underworld. Upon fusion, it can control the laws of death and summon an army of the undead.]

[Return Rate: -100% (Inevitable Failure)]

[Hidden Note: Do not touch! This thing is tainted with the curse and resentment of the previous Grim Reaper. With your current mortal body, the moment you merge with it, your lifespan will be drained, turning you into a dried-up corpse. Unless you want to become a skeleton soldier in the underworld.]

Lin Xiao's lips twitched.

Good grief, the game started off like a trap.

If it were some naive, unsuspecting kid who saw the words "divine status," they probably would have pounced on it long ago, only to be eliminated immediately upon landing.

Our attention shifted to the second blind box.

Inside was a beating heart, entirely crimson, radiating a violent, destructive aura.

[Item: Heart of the Ancient Dragon]

[Rank: Seven-Colored Supreme]

[Description: The heart of an abyssal dragon. Devouring it grants the user dragon bloodline, physical invincibility, and immunity to fire.]

Return on investment: 5000%

[Hidden Note: This is a good item, but the side effects are that it will make you extremely cruel and bloodthirsty, and you must eat 100 pounds of raw meat every night at midnight to suppress your demonic nature. Also, the way you look with scales is really ugly.]

"Ugly rejection."

Lin Xiao mentally sentenced it to death.

Strength is temporary, but handsomeness lasts a lifetime.

Besides, he'd have to eat raw meat; he's not a savage.

Finally, Lin Xiao turned his gaze to the blind box on the far right.

In that instant, the golden data stream of the All-Knowing Eye fluctuated violently, as if even the system was trembling at the sight of this item.

Inside the blind box, there are no fancy special effects.

Only a section of finger bone remains.

A section of finger bone, crystal clear, as if carved from white jade.

It floated there silently, as if suppressing eternity of time and space.

An indescribable aura of vastness, nobility, and majesty pierced through the eyes and went straight to the soul.

[Item: First Human Emperor's Bone (Finger Bone)]

[Rank: Supreme Seven-Colored - Unique (Cannot be replicated)]

[Description: A fragment of a finger bone from the ancient human race's supreme ruler, the first Human Emperor. It contains the essence of humanity and unparalleled imperial power.]

[Special Effect 1: Invulnerability to All Magic. After fusion, the physique transforms into the "Human Emperor's Dao Body (Prototype)," immune to all curses, toxins, and mind control of the same or lower level.]

[Special Effect 2: Imperial Aura. Provides absolute suppression at the bloodline level against all other races (demons, monsters, ghosts, and other supernatural beings).]

[Special Effect 3: Unlimited Growth. This is just the beginning. By collecting all the bones of the Human Emperor, one can rebuild their Human Emperor status, achieve physical sainthood, and tear apart gods with their bare hands.]

[Return on investment: Immeasurable (∞)]

[Hidden Note: A true emperor does not cultivate the ways of heaven, nor does he kneel before gods or Buddhas; he only believes in himself.]

Young man, this is the foundation for your survival in this chaotic world.

Choose it without hesitation, unless you want to live off a woman for the rest of your life.

"It's you."

Lin Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them.

While being a kept man may seem appealing, it's based on Daji's unwavering devotion to him.

What if one day we encounter someone even stronger than Daji?

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

"System, open the third blind box!"

Om-!

Inside the lounge, the normally steady lights suddenly began to flicker wildly.

A vast, ancient bell tolled abruptly in the void.

"Thump—"

The blind box was broken.

The jade-like finger bone slowly floated out, transforming into a warm, flowing light that instantly disappeared into Lin Xiao's brow.

next second.

pain!

Excruciating pain that penetrates to the bone!

Lin Xiao's previously calm face instantly turned deathly pale, and veins bulged on his forehead.

That's not ordinary pain; it's a recombination at the genetic level.

His originally frail mortal bones were as fragile as rotten wood in the face of the power of this severed finger bone, and were crushed bit by bit, expelled from his body, and then reshaped.

"Well……"

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and dug his fingers deep into the leather sofa, creating five finger holes.

You mustn't faint.

The All-Seeing Eye has advised that staying alert during the fusion process will result in a higher degree of compatibility!

"Your Majesty?!"

Su Daji, who was standing nearby, was shocked and was about to step forward to check.

boom!

A supreme golden aura suddenly erupted from Lin Xiao's body.

This aura was upright, vast, and majestic, carrying an overbearing air of "all land under heaven belongs to the king."

Su Daji, who had originally wanted to get closer, trembled violently under the impact of this aura.

His knees buckled, and he uncontrollably knelt on the ground!

That wasn't a matter of pushing away with force.

Rather, it is fear and submission that comes from the depths of the soul and the source of one's bloodline.

As a nine-tailed celestial fox, she is royalty among the demon race.

But at this moment, faced with the aura emanating from Lin Xiao, she felt like an ant facing the vast sky.

"This aura..."

Su Daji raised her head with difficulty, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief, and even a layer of misty tears welled up in them.

In a daze.

She seemed to see that Deer Terrace.

I saw that man who bore the infamy of a thousand years, yet dared to wield his sword to slay the gods.

The last emperor she loved and hated her for her entire life.

Emperor Xin!

But the aura emanating from Lin Xiao was purer and more ancient than that of Di Xin.

That was the initial pride of the human race, the first backbone erected by the first human emperor in this world!

"Your Majesty..."
