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

"Hey beautiful, don't think you can look down on everyone just because you've maxed out so many level 20 Gold ratings. You know, when you were in your teens, you were wearing Iron gear and taking down Iron bosses, but now you're wearing Iron gear and fighting Bronze bosses. Can you really say the difficulty is the same?"

"Let's face reality!"

"I don't think they'll change their minds until they hit a brick wall."

"Good, let them learn a lesson."

A few people poured cold water on the idea and made sarcastic remarks.

Su Yunmeng wanted to argue with them, but Lin Yuan patted her on the shoulder: "Don't waste time with frogs in a well. Let's just focus on clearing the dungeon. The facts are the best response."

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Su Yunmeng snorted and decided not to argue with these people anymore.

Most importantly, these people actually dared to doubt Lin Yuan's abilities, which was what she found most unbearable!

"Just you wait and see!" she said, still somewhat annoyed, and stepped into the dungeon.

"Boss, you're finally here!"

The three twins also entered the instance, and Cheng Sizhe immediately approached them with a fawning expression: "Was the journey tiring?"

He looked like he would come up and give Lin Yuan a massage as long as Lin Yuan nodded.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but admire how well these rich kids knew how to get things done!

Could an ordinary person really bring themselves to do that?

Most of them, on the contrary, cannot.

"Qingfeng, so your name is Lin Yuan! We'll call you Brother Yuan from now on!" The twins tilted their heads, looking at Lin Yuan. "You're amazing! You're not from a wealthy family, but you're so strong!"

"Here are our tickets!"

The two spoke in perfect sync, and even their movements were identical. At the same time, they took out a silver treasure chest and handed it to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan accepted it without hesitation.

Get ready to start!

Once you enter the instance, the timer starts.

"Huh!" Cheng Sizhe suddenly exclaimed, a strange look appearing on his face.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan asked casually.

Cheng Sizhe said, "Zhao Yuming from the Imperial Capital Martial Arts University just achieved the Gold 1 rating in 'Thousand Feather Canyon'."

Hearing this, everyone else was also shocked.

"Really?" the twins asked in unison.

"It should be true, even the Imperial Martial Arts University issued an official statement congratulating them," Cheng Sizhe said, then his face turned angry. "Damn it, that bastard Zhao Yuming is still spouting nonsense, saying that getting a gold rating requires no skill and that as long as you're fully enhanced with platinum, getting a gold rating is as easy as drinking water."

hiss!

Even Su Yunmeng, Han Ming, and the twins, all second-generation rich kids, couldn't help but show expressions of emotion.

"Full-body platinum enhancement?"

"No wonder he got a Gold I rating!"

"This is such a crushing defeat."

If your level is low, you won't be able to wear high-level, high-quality equipment. However, enhancement can bypass this restriction. Even if you are level 20 and wearing black iron armor, you can still apply platinum enhancement or even diamond enhancement!

As long as your family has money and is willing to spend it on you, that's fine.

but!

Let alone diamond-encrusted sets, even platinum-encrusted sets are extremely rare!

Where do you get equipment like that?

Kill the Platinum Boss in the wild.

However, such BOSSes only respawn once every three or four months. Although they drop three to four pieces of equipment, the number of people waiting in line to use them is ridiculously high. They even use them to refine core essence.

Who has the resources to make such a grand gesture?

Look, Su Yunmeng and the others are already descendants of wealthy families worth hundreds of billions, but what kind of enhancement did they use?

Silver, the most basic one.

It's really hard to bear.

How long do you think you can use a level 10 black iron piece of equipment? You'd be lucky to get a silver core essence socketed in it. Using gold to enhance it would be such a waste!

You have to understand that although their equipment isn't bound, it can still be damaged. You can't just grit your teeth and upgrade it once and then use it as a family heirloom forever!

In the game's design, the lower the level of the equipment, the higher its wear and tear rate. For example, black iron equipment will be completely destroyed within a year at most, and the enhancements on it will naturally disappear.

The more frequently it is used, the faster it will break down.

The key point is that you invest so much just to get a few gold ratings in dungeons... that's just not worth it.

"No wonder they're from the Zhao family in the capital, they're damn rich!" Cheng Sizhe cursed, his face full of envy.

Su Yunmeng said calmly, "The Zhao family is one of the most powerful families in the country, and only they can be so extravagant! But even so, they are unwilling to invest in level 10 equipment. Instead, they waited until Zhao Yuming reached level 20 and changed to level 20 equipment before starting."

"Indeed." Everyone else nodded. "Otherwise, this guy could definitely have gotten a gold rating for a level 20 dungeon."

Even the Zhao family in the capital has a limit to how extravagant they can be.

"Moreover, Zhao Yuming is already level 22, so why is he only going to try for a gold rating today? I guess the Zhao family originally didn't want to give Zhao Yuming a platinum enhancement at this time, but they were provoked by Lin Yuan and wanted to suppress Lin Yuan through this method."

"Yes! Yes!" Cheng Sizhe clapped his hands in agreement. "Zhao Yuming is the top student among this year's freshmen. He should have been the most popular, but the eldest brother stole all the trending topics. The Zhao family wants him to surpass the eldest brother in popularity, so they have no choice but to spend a lot of money."

"Hey, full platinum enhancement, that's fucking extravagant!"

Lin Yuan smiled.

The Zhao family believed that he obtained the gold rating by enhancing his equipment with gold, platinum, or even diamonds. Therefore, they wanted Zhao Yuming to surpass them in momentum and become the strongest newcomer this year. So they had no choice but to spend a lot of money to enhance all of Zhao Yuming's low-level equipment with platinum.

The analysis is reasonable, but no one could have guessed that he had two talents, and even more so, a second talent as incredible as the Treasure Chest King!

Being born early makes breaking records easier because there's practically no one ahead of you. But being born late also has its advantages, like having more equipment and being able to get platinum enhancements as early as level 20!

At the beginning of the game, when most players are around level 100, where can you find platinum gear?

This is the advantage of being a latecomer.

Of course, the family has to be wealthy enough. Even the Su, Han, and Liu families wouldn't be willing to use even gold enhancements for their descendants.

"That's outrageous," the twins said in unison. "After we reached level 20, the only thing our family did was upgrade our weapons to gold."

what?

Lin Yuan glanced at the twins, slightly shocked.

Alright, I was wrong. Your Liu family truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful family that surpasses the Su and Han families by a significant margin, actually willing to give you gold enhancements so early on.

He glanced at the time and chuckled, "We should get started too; three minutes have already passed!"

Upon hearing his words, the others were taken aback!

They were so angry at Zhao Yuming that they almost forgot they came to boost their ratings!

Three minutes, precious three minutes.

"Let's not play today, let's come back tomorrow," Cheng Sizhe suggested.

Lin Yuan smiled confidently: "No need, it'll only take three minutes."

Having said that, he drew his sword and charged out.

Open the brush!
