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

The Yang family.

Yang Bing first received some good news.

Lin Yuan's house was empty, but there was a large pool of blood on the ground. With that much blood... the person must be dead.

Was it Lin Yuan or Lao Hei who died?

Need I say more?

You're a newbie who just finished the beginner trial, with no equipment, no skills, no items, and all you have is an S-level talent. Do you really want to fight against a level 29 veteran player?

I want to eat fart!

No matter how much Lao Hei messes things up, he's still managed to complete over a dozen deals, and he always does them cleanly and efficiently. He's got the skills and the reputation.

Although I don't know why Lao Hei lost contact, I believe, as the butler said, that Lao Hei may have gone to lay low.

and!

He also used his connections to investigate Lin Yuan, but it seemed as if Lin Yuan had vanished.

Of course, due to the game's invasion, monsters frequently attack various parts of the world, severely damaging infrastructure. In particular, the surveillance systems that were once ubiquitous are now almost nonexistent, rendering the Sky Eye system virtually useless.

Otherwise, if Lin Yuan escaped, he could easily find him.

No, Lin Yuan was no match for Lao Hei, and the presence of a pool of blood in his house was enough to be fatal, indicating that he was definitely dead.

From now on, Lin Yuan will be a thing of the past, and he won't have to worry about him anymore.

However, his joy was short-lived, as Yang Qi sent him a message, furious and heartbroken.

Yang Tuo is dead!

—The message came from Yang Tuo's mistress, saying that Yang Tuo was fighting at the time, and when Yang Qi tried to contact his son again, he found that he could no longer reach him.

That's a communicator in the game!

There are only two possibilities for not being able to contact him: first, Yang Tuo has actively turned on the blocking and is not receiving any messages; second, Yang Tuo is dead.

Considering that Yang Tuo was previously engaged in battle and was at a disadvantage, the most reasonable conclusion is that Yang Tuo died.

Yang Bing offered some words of comfort, but he wasn't particularly saddened.

It's not like he's my own son.

In the game SuperStar, death is extremely common.

but!

Daring to kill Yang Tuo shows a complete disregard for the Tianyang Group. Such a person must be killed!

"Spread the word that a bounty is offered on the killer of my nephew, and anyone who provides information will be rewarded with a bronze armor of a suitable level," he told the steward.

"Yes, sir." The butler nodded respectfully.

……

The next day, Lin Yuan woke up in a tree hole.

He stretched, took out some water from his storage ring, rinsed his mouth briefly, washed his face, ate something, and then set off.

Half an hour later, he suddenly received a remote transaction request from Su Yunmeng.

He accepted it subconsciously.

Then, he saw Su Yunmeng place a box on the other end of the transaction.

Golden and dazzling!

His breath hitched; this was... a golden treasure chest!

My God, a golden treasure chest!

"Hehe, my grandpa was busy all day yesterday and finally got a golden treasure chest!" Su Yunmeng sent a message. "Receive it quickly."

Lin Yuan quickly agreed to the trade, and the next moment, the golden treasure chest appeared in his backpack.

If he opens the golden treasure chest, it will be of the Star level!

Currently, the highest quality equipment and items in the game are of the Star grade.

He was so excited he almost exploded.

"Thank you," he replied.

With the Su family's immense wealth, Su Yunmeng's grandfather is undoubtedly a true veteran player. Although judging from his age, this old man couldn't possibly be one of the original veterans from when the SuperStar game first launched, his level must have definitely exceeded 100.

A veteran player who is level 100 or higher spent a whole day personally getting him a golden treasure chest!

Lin Yuan knew that it was because he had helped Su Yunmeng achieve first place in the gold rating, which made the Su family feel that they owed him a huge favor. Therefore, even the old man was alarmed and made a trip for him.

The Su family is quite good; they know how to get along with people!

Moreover, even if we only consider the gold treasure chests, they can basically contain gold equipment, which is worth a lot.

There are many gold-tier items on the trading platform; level 80 items sell for 500 million, while level 90 and 100 items are even more expensive.

As expected of the Su family, they are truly generous.

For Lin Yuan, the value of this golden treasure chest was even more astonishing.

He can unlock Star-level equipment!

Open!

Lin Yuan was about to reach out, but he forcefully stopped himself.

If you open it now, because of the Treasure Chest King's talent, the equipment will be forced to adapt to his level, which is level 10.

Should we wait until level 20 before unlocking it?

The equipment that was obtained was level 20.

The attribute differences are extremely large!

Most importantly, does Lin Yuan feel any pressure now, whether he's leveling up or improving his dungeon rating?

No.

His problem now isn't a lack of firepower, but rather that there aren't enough monsters to fight.

Therefore, having another piece of Starry Sky equipment won't improve his leveling efficiency. On the contrary, if he saves the treasure chest until level 20, he can open it and get a level 20 piece of Starry Sky equipment.

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.

Wait until level 20 before opening it.

Of course, if he encounters a powerful enemy and has to take a gamble, he will definitely open the golden treasure chest, which may be his hope for turning the tide.

He kept traveling, and after more than half an hour, he entered the map corresponding to Qingfeng Temple. After another hour, he arrived at the entrance of the instance.

He arrived earlier than Su Yunmeng today. The little rich woman was nowhere to be seen here. The two had just spoken, and Su Yunmeng was still on her way, but she would arrive soon, in about 20 minutes.

However, there were other people at the entrance to the instance.

There were four in total, each radiating a dark green aura, clearly dressed in black iron armor.

They must be here to run a dungeon, otherwise what are they doing standing at the dungeon entrance?

This instance can accommodate a team of up to 6 people, so they are still waiting for the other two teammates.

Lin Yuan stood still, waiting for Su Yunmeng to arrive.

His physique increases by 3 points every second.

The four men also saw Lin Yuan. One of them smiled and said to him, "Dude, don't be nervous. We all awakened last year. We're students at Shanghai Martial Arts University and will be sophomores when school starts. We're here to improve our ratings."

This person is extremely confident.

Indeed, who would dare to mess with students from Wuhan University in Shanghai?

Unless you can kill all four people instantly without leaking a single word, the Shanghai Martial Arts University will definitely search every inch of the land to find the murderer and kill him inch by inch!

Wuhan University in Shanghai definitely has that capability.

With such a background, these students are naturally full of confidence and fearless.

Lin Yuan said "Oh," and then asked, "Are you planning to assign ratings?"

"Yes!" It was the same person, who seemed a bit talkative. "My name is Huang Weixu. I've been stuck at level 20 for more than half a year trying to get the gold rating for this dungeon. My experience points have reached the limit. Today, regardless of whether I can get the gold rating or not, I'm going to reach level 21."

"Look, we're currently number one in silver, just a little short of reaching the gold rating."

He pointed to the monument of honor at the entrance of the dungeon.

The team ranked first in the Silver rating is called "Shanghai Wuda Team 11". Haha, the GG effect is quite strong.

Reaching level 20 in a year is a normal speed, but how could someone who can get into Shanghai Martial Arts University be an ordinary person?

It needs to be at least an A-level talent!

Therefore, his upgrade speed is definitely slow.

Why is it slow?

They're deliberately keeping their rating low because they want to get a gold rating.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but wonder, "Was it worth it?"
