The story of the black silk female knight

The other rare purple-grade equipment is a modern composite bow with many pulleys. Even without enchantments, this bow has strong penetrating power, and Valensa plans to keep it for herself.

Valenza had used many blue-grade enhancement cards and hadn't paid much attention to them, but she was seeing those three purple-grade rare enhancement cards for the first time.

"What's the difference between this enhancement card and the blue one? It's not just that it adds more attributes, is it?" Valensa asked the shopkeeper, holding up the three rare purple enhancement cards.

"of course not."

The store manager smiled and said:

"Blue-grade enhancement cards can only enhance your five basic attributes: strength, speed, stamina, defense, and bio-energy... Oh, magic, sword energy, mental power, and even your mental power all fall under the category of bio-energy."

"understood."

Valensa nodded slightly:

"If there are basic attributes, there must also be special attributes. What are the purple enhancement cards for? What attributes are they?"

"There are many types of special attributes, and the concepts of many attributes are quite subtle."

The store manager's expression on the square monitor's head changed to a yellow bean covering his mouth and laughing:

“Your already considerable charm, the luck and intelligence you’ve always wanted, and even the domineering aura that protagonists in some novels possess are all special attributes that can be enhanced with purple enhancement cards.”

Chapter 72 The Second Big Guarantee

"Charm... I already have enough charm, and further enhancement might just cause trouble. I'm not interested in things like the aura of a king... I guess it's better to enhance intelligence and luck."

Valensa quickly decided on the use of the purple enhancement card before finally looking at the golden light.

Her second guaranteed reward is a legendary gold item.

"This is... could it be an enhancement card?"

Valensa frowned at first, because the glittering blind box also contained only a card.

But then a thought quickly crossed her mind, and her eyes lit up with joy:

"A real enhancement card isn't bad... A gold legendary enhancement card, it would be unreasonable if it couldn't instantly upgrade me to the Lighthouse level, right?"

"If it really is a legendary gold-tier enhancement card, combined with the ones you just drew, you can try to break through to the Star Glory level within a year."

The store manager, with his square-shaped monitor-like head, smiled:

"Unfortunately, it isn't... but it is indeed a special item. If you're lucky, it can bring you the equivalent of several gold legendary items."

"Oh? That's amazing? What kind of card is it?" Valensa asked curiously.

"This is a chance card."

The store manager explained:

"As the name suggests, it can give you an opportunity... like sending you into a game instance, randomly teleporting you to a certain scene in a certain world, where you can freely explore for half an hour, and bring back everything you find during that time."

"Explore a scene in another world for half an hour?"

Valensa frowned, seemingly dissatisfied:

"What if I'm unlucky and the place I'm teleported to is very barren and I can't find anything of value? Or what if the place I go to is very dangerous and I die as soon as I land?"

Is this kind of reward, which depends entirely on luck, really considered a golden legend?

“Miss Valensa’s concerns are not unfounded, but the reason why Golden Legend is Golden Legend is that it can resolve your concerns.”

The store manager smiled:

"First of all, the place you are teleported to by the Golden Opportunity Card will definitely have more than ten treasures worth the equivalent of a golden legendary item, and they will all be within your reach within half an hour."

Secondly, these places of opportunity all have safe zones. If you don't want to take risks, you can stay in the safe zone for half an hour, and it will automatically return when the time is up.

Finally, besides the hidden wealth, you might also encounter travelers from other worlds by chance, activating the friend function on your member terminal... As for what the friend function is for, you'll have to figure that out for yourself after you actually activate it; I can't reveal it here.

"In that case... this golden opportunity card seems pretty good."

Valensa hesitated for a moment:

"With my current strength, it might still be a bit dangerous, but I can wait until I become stronger before going to the Land of Opportunities and looting all the treasures."

After she finished speaking, she tried to take the golden opportunity card out of the blind box and put it away, but was stopped by a mechanical arm.

“That won’t do, Miss Valensa.”

The store manager looked at her intently:

"The reason it's called a 'chance card' is because it's time-limited... once you miss it, it's gone. Each chance card must be used within two hours of being drawn; otherwise, it will automatically expire."

"There's such a rule?"

Valensa glared at her again, clearly displeased.

"This thing really doesn't deserve to be called a Golden Legend! I want a replacement!"

"..."

The store manager didn't say anything, but a sweaty expression appeared on the top of the square monitor.

"Tsk."

Valensa was very unhappy, but she also knew that you couldn't reason with a machine brain.

"Then I'll use an enhancement card to strengthen myself before going to the Land of Opportunities, is that alright?"

Giving up was out of the question; Valensa could only make herself as strong as possible before she went.

"Of course, no problem... This way, please."

The shop owner quickly led Valensa into a small room behind the counter, where she lay down in the enhancement pod that always made her think of all sorts of strange scenarios.

"Miss Valencia, how do you plan to enhance your character this time?"

After taking all of Valensa's enhancement cards and binding her with restraints, the shop owner finally asked a question.

"Those three purple enhancement cards will be used to enhance intelligence and luck, and the blue ones..."

Valensa thought for a moment and said:

"First, I will strengthen my mental power to the maximum level that I can currently withstand. Any extra enhancement cards will be used to enhance my speed and strength, and any remaining cards will be used to enhance my endurance and defense."

"understood."

The shop owner nodded and closed the lid of the enhancement chamber, plunging Valensa into darkness.

The familiar enhancement process began quickly. Several needles were inserted into her back and legs, injecting streams of heat into her body, while beams of light swept across her body.

Valensa could clearly feel her physical fitness improving, and her heart, which was the size of a swimming pool, was expanding at a visible rate.

But at the same time, a tingling sensation, like an electric current running through her nerves, also appeared, sweeping over Valensa's entire body in waves...

About half an hour later.

"Ugh... Ha... It almost broke again."

As the hatch of the enhanced chamber opened, Valensa crawled out, panting.

All of her physical attributes have improved significantly, and her heart pool has expanded from a swimming pool to a small lake. However, Valensa's clothes are soaked with sweat, and the smell of her black pantyhose is even stronger.

While becoming stronger brought her joy, the thrill of the enhancement process also terrified her... Several times she thought she had actually become the heroine of one of those strange comics.

"Would you like to use the bathroom first, Miss Valencia?"

The shop owner came over at the right time and offered some helpful suggestions.

"of course."

Valensa stood up, panting, and after smelling herself again, gave a wry smile:

"In my current state... if I really encounter a fellow transmigrator, I'm afraid I'll be immediately mistaken for a pervert... that won't do."

After rinsing off the sweat in the bathroom of the Dimensional Hardware Store and changing into a clean set of clothes, Valensa transformed back into the noble and elegant female paladin.

"Come on, let me see what this place of opportunity really looks like."

She took a few deep breaths to make sure she was ready for battle before activating the Golden Chance Card as instructed by the shopkeeper.

In the dazzling golden light, the surrounding scenery changed again, much like the scene when she entered the dimensional hardware store through various entrances... Perhaps this was the same teleportation technology all along.

Once the surrounding space stabilized again, Valensa found herself in a futuristic-looking metal corridor.

At the same time, a pop-up appeared on the interface of the Dimensional Hardware Store's member terminal, briefly introducing the general situation of this place of opportunity in text form.

An interstellar warship that crash-lands on an unknown planet.

Chapter 73 The Cannon That Tempted the Female Knight

The world in which this place of opportunity is located has already entered the interstellar age of human civilization.

Several countries occupy several planets and are frequently at war. Valensa's warship is an EO Alliance cruiser.

During the war, the cruiser was hit by some kind of special weapon from the enemy, and everyone on board was instantly turned into concentrated liquid, and most of the ship's functions were also destroyed.

But at the last moment, the warship successfully jumped over and ultimately crash-landed on this unknown planet.

Now, the area within 100 meters around the warship is the safe zone, where Valensa can explore freely, but will be forced to return after half an hour.

"It's actually a science fiction world where civilization has reached the interstellar age... This is going to be difficult."

After reading the introduction in the pop-up window on the Dimensional Hardware Store's member terminal interface, Valensa muttered to herself, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing together.

This is arguably one of the worlds she least wants to come to, because there are just too many high-tech weapons in such sci-fi worlds, making it easy to die without knowing why.

Putting everything else aside, the kind of individual beam rifle commonly seen in science fiction movies would be a significant threat to Valensa right now.

Fortunately, everyone on the original warship was dead, so Valensa didn't need to worry about the space soldiers equipped with futuristic weapons for the time being, but she still had to be cautious about this unknown planet.

Returns and risks are directly proportional; where there is legendary wealth, there is also a hidden deadly danger.

In a fantasy world like Frenoia, Valensa could use her experience as an adventurer to find a way to avoid the most dangerous places, but that wouldn't work in a science fiction world like this.

Based on Valencia's experience watching science fiction movies and reading science fiction novels in her previous life, anything could exist on these unknown planets in science fiction worlds.

Bloodthirsty monsters, terrifying behemoths, technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, and even strangely-looking ancient cosmic gods.

...emmm

Let's search this warship, which serves as a safe zone, first. If we can find some usable high-tech weapons, we won't risk exploring the danger zone.

After a slight hesitation, Valensa decided to follow her heart.

Although doing this might waste a large safety net, you can always save up for the rest, but if you lose your life, then you're really done for.

Valensa didn't recognize any of the writing on the warship, but fortunately, the arrow-like markings were easy to understand.

She carefully followed the markings and walked for about five minutes before finally arriving at the bridge of the warship.

"Hmm...let me see..."

The place was also deserted, but most of the screens were still lit up with flashing red lights, and piercing alarms were going off incessantly.

Valensa couldn't understand the text on the screen either, but the pictures were relatively easy to understand.

Valensa first stared at a structural diagram of the warship for a moment, then used her enhanced intelligence and memory to imprint the entire diagram deep into her mind.

Then she went to check the other screens one by one.

She still couldn't understand the text, but based on the pictures and colors, Valensa could roughly guess what was displayed on the screens.

It must have been when the warship was hit by enemy fire that the ship's commander ordered an inspection of the hull, and now those screens show the condition of various parts of the warship.

It is clear that the warship was severely damaged, with more than 80% of it turned red, suggesting that it is completely destroyed and beyond repair.

About 15% of the area is orange, and Valensa guesses that these parts were also damaged but only to a limited extent, and could still be used after some repairs.

But Valensa certainly didn't have the ability to repair things from an interstellar civilization, so she focused all her attention on the remaining less than 5% of the green part, intending to see if there was anything usable that could be dismantled and taken away.

"Hmm? This is it!"

Valensa's eyes lit up quickly, revealing an excited expression.

On a small screen in the corner of the bridge, Valensa noticed that one of the warship's close-in weapon systems was still in green status, but it had very little ammunition left, about one-tenth of its capacity.

According to Valensa's knowledge of cloud computing from game novels and the internet from her previous life, most close-in weapon systems (CIWS) can be manually operated by soldiers on-site.

This is a close-in weapon system from a star cruiser... If we could take it off and bring it back, wouldn't it be more useful than a Noble Phantasm when fighting those large enemies?

I've decided on you, Close-In Weapon System (CIWS), my first acquisition in this land of opportunity!
