Chapter 172 - 144: Opening the Golden Treasure Chest
Chapter 172: Chapter 144: Opening the Golden Treasure Chest
Just then, a red figure appeared before Fang Xiu.
She took a careful look at the Gate World Passage.
Then, she nodded affirmatively. "That’s right, Master. The Gate World Passage is growing!"
"Growing?"
Fang Xiu was taken aback by the word.
But he quickly nodded. "That’s right. It is growing!"
It was only then that Fang Xiu noticed Kajimi holding a knife in her left hand, a cucumber in her right, and wearing an apron.
Her dazed expression was rather cute.
"Good grief, you used Charm again!"
Fang Xiu shook his head, snapping out of it.
SLAP!
He landed a slap right on a certain fleshy part of Kajimi.
’Kajimi must have used her Charm Skill again.’
’Otherwise, I wouldn’t have felt that way.’
’He just hadn’t expected Kajimi to have raised her Charm Skill to such a level.’
’His Nether King’s True Eye had even been suppressed for a moment.’
"Hehe!"
Kajimi flashed a triumphant smile.
Then, she vanished on the spot.
Fang Xiu could only shake his head helplessly.
’I should go take a look inside the Gate World.’
After some thought, Fang Xiu decided to go into the Gate World for a look.
After all, he hadn’t been inside this Gate World for several days.
The Gate Passage had grown larger, and he had no idea if there were any new developments inside.
Fang Xiu stood up and walked toward the Gate World.
Fang Xiu didn’t let his guard down just because the Gate World was in his home.
Even though he had entered this Gate World many times before.
But each time he entered, Fang Xiu was still extremely cautious.
After all, he had once found a pile of dried Sumeru Heavy Crystal Cow Dung inside this Gate World.
Although it was unclear where that Sumeru Heavy Crystal Bull had gone.
But it had, at some point, appeared in this Gate World.
Naturally, Fang Xiu had to be careful.
Of course, because Fang Xiu had never reported this Gate World, he was also responsible for checking it.
Otherwise, if something were to actually happen, it would not be an outcome Fang Xiu wished to see.
After confirming there were no issues, Fang Xiu stepped into the Gate World.
Feeling the abundant Spiritual Qi around him, Fang Xiu walked toward the distant lake.
Kajimi had once told him that something powerful was sealed within the lake.
Fang Xiu didn’t know what it was.
It could be a Demon Beast, or perhaps a Demon Beast.
It might even be something he had never seen before.
That was why the first thing Fang Xiu did every time he entered this Gate World was check on the lake.
Only when the lake showed no signs of trouble could Fang Xiu relax.
Soon, Fang Xiu arrived at the lakeshore.
First, he inspected the surrounding grassy area.
Then he walked back to the water’s edge. The lake was as quiet as ever.
Only then did Fang Xiu feel relieved.
He then walked off to patrol the other areas before returning to the entrance of the Gate World Passage.
’Thankfully, aside from the gate getting a little bigger, nothing else has grown!’
As long as nothing out of the ordinary appeared here, a slightly bigger gate was fine.
After all, the larger gate wasn’t causing any problems.
’This is a good time. I’ll open the Treasure Chest here!’
Fang Xiu still had a Golden Treasure Chest.
He had obtained it in the Demon Beast Tombstone.
Fang Xiu was a cautious person; if he didn’t have to open it, he wouldn’t.
That was why he had brought it back with him.
"I wonder what this Golden Treasure Chest will give me?"
Fang Xiu muttered to himself.
He wasn’t really expecting much from it anymore.
After all, having opened so many, he knew that whatever was inside couldn’t possibly compare to what he got from a Sacrifice.
So, Fang Xiu opened it directly.
A flash of light appeared and then vanished.
In the Golden Treasure Chest’s place sat a small... Golden Treasure Chest.
"What the hell is this?"
He hadn’t expected that opening it would reveal its child.
’Is this thing even legal? It’s already out here working?’
The two Treasure Chests were identical.
It was just that the outer Golden Treasure Chest was quite large.
While the Golden Treasure Chest inside was... extremely small.
’This thing is tiny. What could possibly be inside?’
Fang Xiu picked up the small Golden Treasure Chest.
It was only about the size of his finger; he could easily close his hand around it in his palm.
’If I’d known it would give me this, I wouldn’t have brought it back.’
’I would’ve just opened it right there.’
’This one is even less conspicuous.’
’It would fit in my pocket with room to spare.’
"Huh? Why is there a small hole here?"
As Fang Xiu picked it up to examine it more closely, he discovered that there was a small hole on the little Golden Treasure Chest.
It looked like...
’Don’t tell me this thing is a phone charm?’
Fang Xiu looked at the hole, then at the lanyard hole on his phone case.
This thing... really did seem to be a phone charm.
It was just missing the little strap to connect them.
Fang Xiu examined it carefully.
’I guess I could use it for my keys, too!’
’What kind of prize is this?’
But since it came from a Treasure Chest.
And a Golden Treasure Chest at that.
Fang Xiu felt that it couldn’t possibly be that lame.
He decided to inspect it directly.
[Small Golden Treasure Chest Model Space Storage Device: Contains a massive amount of space, capable of storing your countless little secrets.]
"This thing... is actually a Space Storage Device?"
Fang Xiu had been planning to use his Points to get a Space Storage Device.
But he just never got around to it.
He never expected to get a Space Storage Device from opening a Golden Treasure Chest.
Fang Xiu knew that Space Storage Devices all came from Treasure Chests.
But some people couldn’t bear to use them and would exchange them for Points instead.
They would use the Points to buy better, more suitable items for themselves.
But Fang Xiu... of course he wanted a Space Storage Device.
Otherwise, what was he going to do with all those Magic Staffs he owned?
And in the future, he would definitely acquire even more items.
Fang Xiu couldn’t just keep using a backpack forever, could he?
So, getting a Space Storage Device this time was a great boon for Fang Xiu.
’Let’s see how much space it has!’
Fang Xiu knew that the smallest Space Storage Devices had about one cubic meter of space.
That was the minimum.
As for the largest, Fang Xiu wasn’t too sure.
Some said fifty, others said sixty, and the most exaggerated claims went as high as seventy.
That was a twenty-cubic-meter difference between them.
Having finally obtained a Space Storage Device, Fang Xiu naturally had to take a good look at it.
"Holy crap, this thing is huge! It must be a hundred cubic meters, right?"
After inspecting it, Fang Xiu... kind of understood those people now.
It turned out everyone thought theirs was the biggest.
But little did they know, some with special Talents could get this big.
And Fang Xiu’s was the biggest of them all, a full one hundred cubic meters.
"Master!"
Just then, a voice called out.
Fang Xiu looked over and saw Kajimi walking in from outside the Gate World.
She was carrying two plates of food.
"Dinner is ready, Master!"
Kajimi gave Fang Xiu a smile.
Fang Xiu nodded. "Great!"
He took the dishes from Kajimi and placed them on the table.
Fang Xiu had already moved a dining table, chairs, and other things in here previously.
This world had no people, no Demon Beasts, and no animals. Naturally, that also meant there were no snakes, insects, rats, ants, or mosquitoes.
Eating a meal here was pure bliss.
Especially since Kajimi’s cooking was also delicious.
"Master, try this!"
Kajimi placed a piece of meat on Fang Xiu’s plate.
Fang Xiu tried it and nodded in satisfaction.
The two of them talked and laughed, enjoying themselves immensely.
Fang Xiu really liked this feeling.
He had been an orphan since childhood, and after transmigrating, he was still a damn orphan.
He was already used to it, though.
But he still occasionally found himself envying the lives of others.
They had people to eat with, shop with, and watch movies with.
Other than a bit of dirty money, Fang Xiu had nothing else.
So, to be able to enjoy this kind of pleasure now was also wonderful.
"Master, I’ll go run a bath for you. I’ll come back to clean up later!"
After they finished eating.
Kajimi said to Fang Xiu.
Hearing this, Fang Xiu was about to nod when he suddenly remembered he still had a bottle of Dragon’s Blood he had obtained from a Sacrifice.
"Wait a minute."
Fang Xiu called out, stopping Kajimi as she was about to walk out of the Gate World.
He had Dragon’s Blood, so how could he not use it?
