Chapter 528: Chapter 527: The Omnipotent Wishing Machine

"Wow, Maka Baga’s Alchemy notebook and Maka Baga’s Alchemy Crucible, the two most important items are all included, and there are a bunch of other things. All together, there are seventeen items. No wonder it was rated Dark Purple Quality.

Even if the score of individual items might not be very high, the quantity is just too much. It basically seems like all the alchemy tools in Maka Baga’s possession were packed in together."

After reading the attribute list of ’Maka Baga’s Alchemy Set,’ Zhang Yanhang felt this deal was probably a profitable one for him, as the value of this alchemy set was indeed greater than that of an ordinary Dark Purple Quality equipment.

Although he couldn’t see the attributes list or the specific contents of the ’Maka Baga’s Alchemy notebook’ yet due to not having used the artifact, Zhang Yanhang guessed that the notebook likely contained some of the alchemy potion formulas created by Maka Baga.

There was a considerable chance it included the formulas related to Magic Recovery Potions, which would indeed be useful to Zhang Yanhang. Moreover, besides the formulas for Magic Recovery Potions, Zhang Yanhang was also interested in the formula for strengthening the heart.

If Zhang Yanhang had to worry about not being able to gather materials for other alchemy potion recipes, there was no such concern with Maka Baga’s developed formulas because Maka Baga used materials all from the Goblin Plain, which Zhang Yanhang could gather directly from there.

For this reason, the allure of Maka Baga’s alchemy formulas was so great for Zhang Yanhang; after all, with plentiful materials, mass production was merely a matter of time once he had the specific formulas.

Other alchemy potions might not be significant if mass-produced, but if Magic Recovery Potions could be made in large quantities, they would be quite beneficial for Zhang Yanhang. Even if they were not needed elsewhere, using them to manufacture Thermo-baric Bombs would be excellent.

"Of course, gathering materials and such, there definitely won’t be time for that this time around. I’ll have to wait until the next visit to the Ashen World to deal with that."

Fortunately, Zhang Yanhang still had over three thousand bottles of Medium Magic Recovery Potion, so he wasn’t in a rush to start manufacturing immediately.

"So, I choose ’1000 Soul Points,’ ’1000 Soul Points,’ ’1000 Soul Points,’ ’Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed),’ and ’Maka Baga’s Alchemy Set.’"

After reviewing the five items in Maka Baga’s treasure box, Zhang Yanhang immediately made his final selection.

Looking at the ’Maka Baga’s Alchemy Set’ just taken out of the treasure box, which looked almost like a large toolkit, Zhang Yanhang thought it over and decided to wait until he returned to the Main World to use it.

After all, even if he used it now, there wasn’t time to study it in detail, so it was better to wait until he was back in the Main World. Then, he could also carefully study the specific use and related functions of those alchemy tools.

After directly stowing the ’Maka Baga’s Alchemy Set’ into his waist bag, Zhang Yanhang then picked up the most important item, the ’Lord’s Treasure Chest’ dropped by Goblin Chief·Nu Mountain.

This Dark Purple Quality drop treasure box could provide Zhang Yanhang with at least one Light Golden Quality item, and perhaps even two to three items.

After all, this was a chest obtained only once per region, exceptionally rare, incomparable to treasure chests dropped by ordinary monsters. It’d be strange if the reward wasn’t good.

"So, here comes the question, is there a possibility that other Divination Tarot Cards could be produced from the Lord’s Treasure Chest belonging to Goblin Chief Nu Shan?"

Zhang Yanhang’s first Divination Tarot Card - Fool was obtained from a treasure box held by Crimson Iron Ant Queen, a Lord Monster in the mini Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, while the subsequent Divination Tarot Card·King was obtained from an Ashen Treasure Box by forcibly replacing options through multiple choice.

Thus, the only known official acquisition channel is the Ashen Treasure Box, and even this requires multiple choices to acquire, so if another channel could be added, such as the Lord’s Treasure Chest, Zhang Yanhang’s efficiency in collecting all twenty-two tarot cards would definitely increase greatly.

"Since there is a certain possibility of success, why not give it a try? After all, failing will not deduct any Energy Value."

Zhang Yanhang had already gathered two tarot cards, and he only needed one more to trigger the second set effect, which he cared about considerably.

"Choose! How can I possibly obtain a blue-quality ’Divination Tarot Card [Fake] (Gate of Truth)’ that might or might not be related to the ’[Divination Tarot Card·King [Fake] (Gate of Truth)]’ through a relatively normal channel!"

Concerned that inaccurate wording might cause Multiple Choice to misunderstand his needs, Zhang Yanhang posed his question in the exact same format as before. All he could do was hope that Multiple Choice would give him a break and not fail.

[Do you want to obtain a blue-quality Divination Tarot Card?]

[Option One: Yes (Since you have completely eradicated all the Dragon Vein Goblins in the entire Goblin Plain, you subsequently went to the Evaluation Settlement Treasure Box located in the outer zone of the Goblin Plain, where you received a corresponding Ashen Treasure Box.

When you opened this Goblin Plain-exclusive Ashen Treasure Box, you unexpectedly obtained a blue-quality Divination Tarot Card.)]

[Option Two: No (Knowing that Chief Shaman Goblin Maka Bagga, who studied Alchemy Magic in the Dragon Vein Goblin Kingdom, is basically unlikely to have any connection with Divination Tarot Cards from human nations, you simply gave up on the idea of obtaining other Divination Tarot Cards.)]

[Option Three: Not Found (Since you wanted to find other Divination Tarot Cards, you explored the entire Goblin Plain once again, thinking that since Chief Shaman Goblin Maka Bagga also practiced Alchemy, there might be other Divination Tarot Cards here.

Unfortunately, although Maka Bagga, the part-time Goblin Shaman and Alchemist, and the part-time Druid and Alchemist share the same profession, they have no relation to each other, so you found no other Divination Tarot Cards on the Goblin Plain.)]

"It’s not exactly a failure, but it’s not a success either; it isn’t completely irrelevant to what I wanted to trigger, but it’s also somewhat off target."

Zhang Yanhang wanted to trigger an option related to the Lord’s Treasure Chest, but Multiple Choice directly connected him back to the Ashen Treasure Box again.

"Is it because the format I used this time was too similar to the last, which is why Multiple Choice automatically routed me to the Ashen Treasure Box?" Zhang Yanhang pondered for a moment, planning to cancel this option and try again with a different format to see if he could trigger an option associated with the Lord’s Treasure Chest.

After cancelling the option, the momentary pause in time disappeared, and along with it, the fee deducted from Zhang Yanhang disappeared as well; fortunately, Zhang Yanhang had plenty of Energy Value, so the minor deduction of a fee was inconsequential.

"Choose! How can I obtain an artifact from the Lord’s Treasure Chest dropped by Goblin Chief Nu Mountain, potentially related yet potentially unrelated to ’Divination Tarot Card·King[Fake] (Gate of Truth)’ of blue quality!" Zhang Yanhang completed his choice, the breeze still gently swirling around, lifting the fallen leaves from the ground, and also bringing a wave of rotten, decayed stench towards Zhang Yanhang’s energy shield, which was then completely blocked by the filter function from the outside.

"Time pause didn’t trigger. Despite my energy value limit having more than doubled since before entering Ashen World, I still can’t forcefully open a divination tarot card from the Goblin Chief’s Lord’s Treasure Chest. It seems this option is quite difficult, probably several times more so than an Ashen Treasure Box."

Although he couldn’t trigger the related options now, it didn’t mean it would be impossible later. Zhang Yanhang felt that there was still hope to solve this, provided that his energy value limit was high enough.

However, at this stage, his energy limit probably couldn’t continue to rise quickly, so perhaps he would need to wait until he reached the third tier. By then, the significant increase in energy limit brought about by his enhanced intelligence attribute might just solve the problem.

After all, based on Zhang Yanhang’s understanding of multiple choice, it was basically a super-enhanced version of a universal wishing machine, possibly fulfilling every wish.

Often, he had to obtain the content listed in the options himself, but actually, a considerable part of it was created out of thin air after triggering the option. It was probably because the energy value consumed by refreshing directly into his possession was less, which is why it has developed into its current form.

Thus, all this depended on his own energy value limit being sufficient, as actively triggering an option consumes a significant amount of energy, unlike passive triggering.

Unfortunately, although he knew that increasing the energy value limit would enhance the power of multiple choice, he couldn’t find a suitable improvement channel. Therefore, obtaining the divination tarot card from the Lord’s Treasure Chest would have to wait until later.

After confirming he couldn’t obtain the divination tarot card from the Lord’s Treasure Chest, Zhang Yanhang immediately triggered the options again, reinstated the previously cancelled option, and immediately chose the first option, which was to obtain a new divination tarot card from the Ashen Treasure Box.

Having made his choice, Zhang Yanhang picked up another dark purple quality Lord’s Treasure Box lying next to him.

[Open ’Drop Treasure Box (Goblin Chief·Nu Mountain)’?]

"Yes, open."

Since the treasure box from Chief Shaman Goblin Maka Baga didn’t yield any useful equipment before, only producing a dark purple quality ’Maka Baga’s Alchemy Set’, this time Zhang Yanhang wanted to open several useful pieces of equipment from the Goblin Chief Nu Mountain’s treasure box.

Ideally three pieces, meaning all three item slots beyond the soul points and talent option would be equipment. Although this idea seemed implausible, if it really could be achieved, Zhang Yanhang’s power was sure to surge dramatically.

After all, equipment of light golden quality would definitely possess stronger additional attributes than those upgraded to merely dark purple quality like the Swift Leggings, Dragon Power Bracelet, Barbaric Stone Bandage, and Lightning Totem Pole.

[Please choose the specific content of ’Drop Treasure Box (Goblin Chief·Nu Mountain)’]

[Item One: ?]

[Item Two: ?]

[Item Three: ?]

[Item Four: ?]

[Item Five: ?]

What kind of additional attribute equipment did Zhang Yanhang want from Goblin Chief Nu Mountain’s treasure box? That would surely be the usual trio: movement speed bonus, attack speed bonus, and strength effect bonus, as these additional attributes could simply, bluntly, and effectively enhance his own strength.

Given the specialties of Goblin Chief Nu Mountain, these three additional attributes were quite likely to appear. He even boldly assumed that the three pieces of light golden quality equipment he might obtain could exactly be those enhancing these three attributes.

"Well, perhaps this hypothesis is a bit too far-fetched, after all, the treasure box from Goblin Chief Nu Mountain might also contain some skills."

While he might not need something like the Lightning Five-Chain Whip or Activated Muscles, the Lightning Heart was quite useful, and so was Elementalization, which was practically like having a second life, really very strong.

"Although it’s also unlikely, if I really got that Lightning Heart, my safety in Ashen World would definitely increase significantly," Zhang Yanhang always completely welcomed any increase in survival ability.

"Hope I can open as many light golden quality items as possible."

As Zhang Yanhang spoke, he clicked on the first item. Although he started with various needs, in the end, it all turned into prayers for quality, since even the worst light golden quality items were far superior to ordinary dark purple ones.

[Item One]

[Option One: Chief Shaman Goblin Maka Baga, Dark Purple Quality, Pet]

[Option Two: 20000 Soul Points]

[Option Three: 40000 Soul Points]
