nChapter 7

nJi Chen’s victory in his first battle and his ability to use words to raise the morale of the Murlocs put him in a good mood.

nHe waved his hand, ignoring the octopus’ corpse on the ground for the time being, and led the Murlocs into the cabin through the hole.

nSunlight shone into the cabin through the holes and cracks in the hull, illuminating the half of the cabin that was filled with water due to the tilt of the ship.

nThe Shallow Water Octopuses were resting in the water, and there were a few pale skeletons floating around, possibly the unlucky ones who had fallen at the hands of the octopuses.

n“This ship is already beyond repair, but there may still be something left inside,” Ji Chen thought to himself.

nHe had four Murlocs guard him while he sent the other ten to search the cabin and deck. Soon, the scattered Murlocs found some supplies.

nIn the cabin on the upper deck, there were ten well-sealed dry rations that had not been soaked in seawater.

nEach barrel of dry rations weighed about twenty-five kilograms.

nEach unit of food was equivalent to one catty.

nThese 10 buckets of rations were equivalent to 250 units of food. In addition, those Shallow Water Octopuses could also be used as food.

nHe estimated that he wouldn’t have to worry about food for the time being, having found the most urgently needed supplies on his first expedition.

nJi Chen’s mood improved significantly, and even the silly-looking Murlocs appeared much cuter to him.

nHe placed the ten buckets of rations into his inventory.

n“Guagua → Guagua!”

nHe thought about returning to his territory.

nA Murloc ran over.

nJi Chen first looked at it in confusion, then a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

nThe Murloc meant:

n“There’s a strange treasure chest over there!”

nTreasure chests, as the name implied, were chests that could open treasures.

nIn ” Lord of Glory “, treasure chests would randomly spawn anywhere. The level of treasure chests ranged from 1 to 7 stars. The higher the level, the easier it was to get good items.

nAmong the treasures that Ji Chen hoped to find were the core of the military recruitment camp, resources, and more.

nAs the Murloc led him around the cabin, they arrived at a triangular space created by the collapse of half the deck.

nThere, a metallic treasure chest with specks of starlight caught Ji Chen’s attention, resting quietly in the gap like a sleeping virgin.

nUnlocked Treasure Chest

nLevel: 1 star

nThere seems to be something inside.

nWill the Goddess of Luck pay attention to you?

nJi Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

nThen, he became slightly excited again.

nNice!

nIt was an unlocked treasure chest!

nIn terms of setting, the treasure chest was a product of rules, or rather, a product of divine power.

nTherefore, if the treasure chest was locked, it would require a key of the same level to open it. Otherwise, it would not be able to be opened even with a cannonball.

nAs for what kind of divine power and rules…

nIt must have something to do with our beloved Goddess of Luck.

nThat’s right!

nIn the world of the Lord of Glory, there were gods.

nOriginally, this was just a game setting, but now, it was as if the game had merged with reality, so Ji Chen guessed that gods probably existed.

nOther than gods, there were also various powerful fantasy races in this world.

nFor example, the elves who were never absent, the burly beasts, the undead and dead spirits who were beaten down all year round, and so on.

nThere were also the legendary Titans, Dragons, and Fairies.

nIn front of the players was a world with many races, flourishing races, and filled with all kinds of magical life.

nTherefore, if he sincerely prayed to the gods, he might really attract their attention.

nJi Chen’s eyes were filled with anticipation as he excitedly rubbed his hands together.

nJi Chen was full of anticipation, excitedly rubbing his hands.

n“Lady Luck, give me an original Swarovski! I’m willing to hug your old, big, white legs!”

n“Ding ~ You have opened a 1-star treasure chest. Obtained a tool for collecting resources with one click.”

nWith a hint of curiosity, Ji Chen checked it out.

nOne-click resource collection tool

nLevel: 1 star

nEffect: Able to clear and collect resources from a 25×25×10 (m) block in the territory.

nUsage: 2

nGood stuff!

nWith this item, he could clear out the forest that was in the way of the territory, free up space for living and construction, and collect a wave of resources at the same time!

nLuck was on his side. It seemed that praying to the Goddess of Luck was effective. Next time, he could try praying to the Goddess of Knowledge, the Goddess of Order, the Goddess of War, and so on, to see which one was more useful.

nHe had a very flexible belief system, and would believe in whichever worked best!

nJi Chen put it away happily and looked at the opened treasure chest.

nHe waved his hand.

n“Ding ~ You have received a 1-star treasure chest (Empty).”

nAfter opening it, the Rule Force and Divine Power on the treasure chest would dissipate, leaving only the original material of the treasure chest.

nThe material of the treasure chest could be broken down into a rare resource-Star Metal.

nHe was a thrifty person, so he naturally wouldn’t let it go.

nEven if each of them only had 10 units, many a mickle makes a muckle!

nJi Chen nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the Murloc who had brought him to find the treasure chest.

n“You all did a great job this time! Keep it up!” Ji Chen praised the Murlocs, and they responded with excited croaks.

nEven their lifeless eyes seemed to show a strange expression of happiness.

nAfter searching the entire broken ship and confirming that there was nothing useful left behind.

nHe left the cabin.

nJust as he was thinking of getting the Murlocs to bring the octopus’s corpse with them and return triumphantly, he saw a group of blue-skinned two-meter-long lizards feasting on the octopus corpses.

nIt was probably attracted by the blood of the octopus flowing into the ocean.

nSea Lizard

nLevel: 2

nTier: 1, 5 stars

nSharp Fangs (White skill, the crisscrossed fangs can break through part of the scales)

nGerm Bite (White skill. When biting an enemy, you can inject germs into the enemy to infect them)

nMilitary characteristic: Pathogen (the whole body is filled with all kinds of germs and parasites)

nI dare to bite you, but do you dare to bite me?

nThere were as many as twenty-five Tier 1, five-star sea lizards.

nHowever, Ji Chen didn’t show a hint of fear on his face. It must be known that aside from a slight numerical disadvantage, the Murlocs were superior to the lizards in every other aspect!

nAs expected, the Morale Judgement immediately appeared.

n“Ding ~ You have entered combat mode. Morale assessment in progress. The Lord of your side leads the army, morale 10. Close to the ocean, morale 3. Number disadvantage, morale -2.

nLevel Suppression, Morale 4. The level disadvantage, morale -5. Troop characteristic: Cowardly, morale -15. Additional 15 to speech morale.”

n” The morale of our River Murlocs is at 60 points. We have entered an advantageous state. ”

nThe Murlocs were furious when they saw the sea lizards eating their food.

nEven though they were at a slight disadvantage in terms of numbers, their morale was still very high.

nAt Ji Chen’s command, they immediately rushed over.

nThe sharp bone spears in their hands stabbed out bravely, leaving wounds on the sea lizards. Some even pierced into the heads, killing them in one blow.

nThe sharp teeth of the sea lizards could only slightly break through the scales of the Murlocs, but could not cause real fatal injuries.

nThe bone spears of the Murlocs could pierce through their skin without any obstruction, causing great damage.

nDue to the difference in strength between the two, the Murloc killed seven or eight sea lizards on the spot in just a few minutes.

nAs the battle progressed, the morale of the sea lizards quickly fell below 10 points, and they began to flee into the sea.

n“Chase after them! Kill them all!”

n
