Chapter 299: Chapter 288: 【The Conspiracy Known in Advance】_2

The moment they thought of this, all the players excitedly rushed to Zhou Tianfu, a place similar to the Mystic Bureau of Qingliang City.

"Senior Brother, those Abnormal People have mostly dispersed." Su Youyi had just been standing quietly to the side, silently observing how her Senior Brother interacted with these Abnormal People and also trying to figure out the logic behind their thinking.

But she still couldn’t understand, did these Abnormal People just fish for my Senior Brother the whole afternoon for free? What benefit does this bring to them?

Moreover, when the group of Abnormal People left, Su Youyi keenly noticed that many of their presences had suddenly increased significantly, growing at a speed as rapid as the rumors suggested.

"Mmm, come with us." Liang Yi collected all the fish floating in the sky back into his ring, picked up Mr. Orange who was happily rolling inside, tossed him onto his shoulder, and called over the only young player who was still waiting in the original spot—Taibai Ge.

"Boss Liang, was the item I fished selected?"

Taibai Ge was still quite puzzled at this moment. He originally thought he was unlikely to succeed this time, seeing all kinds of fish that others had caught, and seeing how close the Demon Clan Young Master was with Boss Liang, it could be that he was simply supplying a delicacy for the Young Master.

But unexpectedly, there was a twist of fate, all because of that broken box he fished out.

He was the first to receive the task, so he had rushed to the outdoor fishing spot and stationed himself by the riverside early. But to his surprise, he spent the entire afternoon on lookout trying to fish something good but ended up catching nothing.

Not even a single fish, not to mention even the tattered cloth necessary for the fishing game didn’t deem him worthy of catching a piece. This absurd luck truly disappointed him, if it weren’t for his girlfriend, Zhang Yuge, constantly chatting with him on voice call, he might have given up a long time ago.

As the task was nearing its end, he was preparing to pack up his fishing rod and leave, but then the system notified him that he had caught something.

However, the joy did not last long before it was shattered by disappointment,

He fished up a gray item: a mysterious broken box.

The worn-out box looked as though it had been soaked in river water for who knows how long, moss was even growing on its surface, and it felt slippery to the touch. Even though it was already soaked beyond recognition, Taibai Ge still couldn’t open the apparently fragile box.

[Mysterious Broken Box]: Gray quality, a broken and battered box that floated from who knows where, not even worth selling to the shop.

Although based on Taibai Ge’s understanding, the lowest quality in the game should be white, yet this gray item didn’t seem like anything good at all?

No matter which game, gray items are never associated with treasures, so much so that Taibai Ge even thought about casually throwing this box that seemed to mock him back into the water.

Thankfully, his girlfriend timely spoke out to stop him, asking him not to give up, after all, it was the result of an afternoon’s effort. With a mentality of just giving it a try, as it wouldn’t cause him any harm anyway, Taibai Ge chose to submit this broken wooden box among the crowd.

Unexpectedly, this led to the completion of the task, and besides obtaining task experience points far surpassing others, he also successfully got his hands on that Sixth Grade purple Daoist Skill.

What surprised him even more was that Liang Yi quietly sent him a message to stay afterwards, clearly indicating there was a follow-up task in store.

Wuhu, taking off!

"Senior Brother, was this box fished up by that Abnormal Person?" Su Youyi looked at the worn-out box her Senior Brother was fiddling with, casting a somewhat astonished glance at Taibai Ge who was following behind them.

This worn-out box was no ordinary item, how did he manage to fish it out from a regular stream.

"Sometimes luck just doesn’t make sense, can’t help but accept it." Liang Yi somewhat sighed as he looked at the broken wooden box in his hands.

He was worried that Taibai Ge wouldn’t be able to fish it up, so he had a bunch of players go together. But even with such big variables, he didn’t expect that Taibai Ge would still get it.

It’s either Taibai Ge is really lucky, or Liang Yi’s strong luck has influenced Taibai Ge’s luck.

But no matter what, the item has been obtained.

"This thing has been buried in the river for thousands of years, meow!" Uncle Orange was lying on Liang Yi’s shoulder, with a fish bone in his mouth, and he judged the age of the item with a simple sniff.

"Whose legacy from the predecessors of Sword Dao is this?" Su Youyi blinked, she felt a surge of Sword Intent from the item, and even the seal on the wooden box was sourced from Sword Intent.

"Let’s open it and see." Although Liang Yi knew what was inside, he could not act too obvious.

He thought that Taibai Ge could directly use the legacy once fished out, but it turned out to be a legacy indeed, just sealed.

If Liang Yi didn’t help him break the seal, who knows when he would discover the secrets within.

Due to the large appearance of players, the people from Devouring Spirit Sect have already turned to live in the shadows, not daring to wander on the streets, for fear of being mysteriously captured.

Liang Yi brought Taibai Ge and used the Escape Skill to directly reach an empty area outside the city, where the afterglow of the setting sun shone around, and the nearby river was exactly where Taibai Ge sat for an afternoon.

"Do you recognize this thing?" Liang Yi tossed the wooden box in his hand and asked Taibai Ge.

"Uh, isn’t it just a broken box?" Taibai Ge hesitated, according to normal logic, could this box be a treasure?

"It seems you have guessed it, but I wasn’t planning to hide it from you," Liang Yi smiled warmly at Taibai Ge and confessed directly.

"This wooden box is sealed with a legacy left by a certain cultivator."

Taibai Ge gasped, staring blankly at the broken wooden box in Liang Yi’s hand, only a phrase of betrayal was in his mind.

"Damn, why does this game not play by the rules, who says that a gray-level item could be a treasure?"

If this is a treasure, then his feeling right now is pain, heartache!

"Look at you, upsetting the kid, he can’t even speak," Uncle Orange looked at Taibai Ge’s heart-wrenching expression and joked with Liang Yi.

"Don’t worry, the legacy you fished is yours by fate, my senior brother won’t snatch it," Su Youyi pointed at the box and then at Taibai Ge, smiling reassuringly.

"Yeah, I’m not going to snatch the legacy that belongs to you, I’ll even help you break the seal on it," Liang Yi held the wooden box with one hand, and gently patted Taibai Ge’s shoulder with the other.

"Brother, is the seal difficult to break?"

"I’m too lazy to break it bit by bit, I just directly used Sword Immortal Realm to forcefully cut the seal on the way here," Liang Yi switched the wooden box from his left hand to his right, showing his left palm where Sword Intent soared like a flock of birds to his junior sister.

"There’s not much inside." Liang Yi directly popped open the lid of the wooden box and took out the contents.

"A Cultivation Technique and a Sword technique booklet."
