The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

Lin Yuan sat on Xiao Hei's back, played with the golden treasure chest for a moment, and then put it into his backpack.

No rush to open it.

He's almost level 35 now, so how do he choose between opening a level 30 Starry Sky set and a level 40 Starry Sky set?

He even considered saving the golden treasure chest until level 50 to open it.

After all, gold chests are hard to obtain. Look, he only has 5 pieces of Starry Sky gear right now, and his chest armor, cloak, and shoes are diamond gear. So, it's only reasonable for him to hoard more gold chests.

Unless, he has more than 10 gold chests, or even platinum or diamond chests!

Fortunately, the Liu family still owes him two platinum treasure chests... Should he make a wish and open them to get some equipment?

That's a sacred artifact!

Huh, why hasn't anyone asked the Su family to make protective necklaces lately? These are five golden treasure chests that can reliably provide Star equipment.

Is it because the Golden Treasure Chest is too hard to get?

That should be true.

Otherwise, five gold chests could be exchanged for a piece of equipment that could save your life, and it would even be platinum-grade. I believe no wealthy family would be stingy with such a thing.

Just wait, take it slow and steady. As long as he unlocks it, the equipment will be compatible with his level, so he can always wear it and will never fall behind.

The door was in sight, and he was about to go out when he received a message.

It was sent by Qiao Feifei.

It's best if it's something serious!

Lin Yuan thought to himself as he opened the message panel.

"You're pretty good, kid! You actually managed to solo a level 105 Gold Boss! I was originally planning to wait until next year, but since you're this good, let's go participate in the National Martial Arts League this year!"

National Wuhan University League!

What the hell?

He searched his memory and finally came to some recollection.

There's no way around it; as a transmigrator, the original owner's memories are like knowledge in a book—they only surface when he actively seeks them out.

Actually, this is good, as it ensures that his personality will not be affected.

Oh, so every year in early October, students from Wuhan University across the country send out teams to compete and determine the champion, runner-up, and third-place winners, who receive generous rewards.

The preliminary rounds were broadcast live nationwide, and the event was very popular.

Of course, as the only two top-tier martial arts universities in the country, the first and second place have always been dominated by the martial arts universities in Beijing and Shanghai, leaving other martial arts universities to compete for third place.

but!

Since the year before last, Beijing Martial Arts University has won the championship for two consecutive years, while Shanghai Martial Arts University can only come in second place.

So, that's why Qiao Feifei thought of herself?

Normally, a freshman is only a few levels high. It's impossible for them to wear high-level or high-quality equipment, have many skills, or even have true essence attributes. How can someone like that participate in a martial arts competition?

Purely dragging everyone down!

—The National Wuhan University League is a team competition, but it's not a six-person team for grinding; it's a five-person team.

Only five people can go, and they're going to squeeze in one more who'll just drag them down. Isn't that just giving them away for free?

What's the key point?

Second-rate martial arts universities are out of the question, but first-rate martial arts universities can still attract a few top-tier geniuses by investing resources and nurture them at any cost, making them incredibly powerful—and with only five of them, they can afford to spend that much on resources.

In a four-on-five situation, even a "powerhouse" like Shanghai Wuda University might lose.

Qiao Feifei actually let him play, which means that the lineup of Shanghai Wuda this year is not much different from last year, and may even be weaker. They will still lose to Beijing Wuda, so she thought of him, right?

Even so, Qiao Feifei made this decision only after learning that he had single-handedly defeated a level 105 wild gold BOSS. In other words, even though Lin Yuan had made so many impressive feats before, in Qiao Feifei's eyes, he was still not qualified to participate in the National Martial Arts League.

At the very least, I don't think he can beat the Imperial Capital Martial Arts University?

Hey, is Wuhan University in the capital really that awesome?

Lin Yuan then sent a voice call to Qiao Feifei.

"Interested in participating?" Qiao Feifei's languid yet alluring voice came through.

Lin Yuan remained completely unmoved: "What's the reward if we win the championship?"

"It's nothing, it's just a platinum item for each member of the champion team," Qiao Feifei said casually.

Haha, when did platinum jewelry become "just that"?

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Can we give you a platinum treasure chest instead of the platinum equipment?"

"Huh?" Qiao Feifei was taken aback. "Do you have some kind of peculiar habit of opening treasure chests?"

Otherwise, why would you need a treasure chest?

Although treasure chests can yield equipment of the corresponding quality and skill books of the appropriate grade, most of the time they contain materials and attribute fruits. While these are valuable, they are definitely not as good as equipment.

Therefore, although both are platinum level, platinum chests are not as good as platinum equipment - of course, if you are extremely lucky and get an extremely rare crafting blueprint from a platinum chest, that's another story, but how low is the probability of that?

Did Lin Yuan want to gamble on such an opportunity?

That's a bit too naive.

"It's possible, I believe the organizers will agree, although it might be a bit difficult," Qiao Feifei said after thinking for a moment.

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Okay, I'll participate!"

Will you be able to convince your other four teammates to accept the Platinum Chest as the champion's reward?

Hey, he can definitely reason with them and appeal to their emotions to get them to agree—he can even compensate them with diamond core essence, and I believe his teammates will only gladly agree and not object.

So, he can get five platinum treasure chests in one go!

Wow, five sacred artifacts!

My God!

"Don't get too excited yet," Qiao Feifei said with a smile. "It's not like you can just participate whenever you want. You have to win the selection first. The date is set for September 19th. Freshmen are not usually eligible to apply, but I'll give you a back door. Don't forget to come back and participate in the selection."

With the strength of Wuhan University in Shanghai, participating in the Wuhan University League would guarantee a place in the top two and a chance to win a prize. So, which student wouldn't be eager to participate?

It's perfectly normal to have to compete for a spot.

Lin Yuan glanced at the screen; it was only September 5th, so there were still two weeks left, enough time for him to finish the remaining five dungeons.

Once he reaches level 40, he can open a few more high-level treasure chests. Hey, surely he can defeat all the veterans and take first place?

"No problem," he replied.

"Yeah, I hope you can get the school back first place this year," Qiao Feifei said. "Besides Mengmeng, there's no one else in the school who's up to par! Back when I was a student, we could easily crush Beijing Martial University. These people are really disappointing!"

Her tone was somewhat excited, a stark contrast to her previous languid and provocative manner.

It's surprising that Teacher Qiao has such a strong sense of collective honor.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely help the school win first place again!"

"Hehe, if you can get first place back, the teacher will definitely give you a good reward!" Qiao Feifei instantly switched back to her charming and seductive mode, which startled Lin Yuan so much that he quickly ended the voice call.
