Chapter 72: Treasure

Ren did not enter the golden tunnel immediately because he was worried about his friend’s safety. "Liam, be careful. Don’t let your guard down."

"Don’t worry. I know what I should do." Liam knew about the tension between them, so he would keep his guard up.

"Zac, Aidan, help him if someone attack him." Scarlett ordered his subordinates to protect Liam because he was Ren’s friend.

Even though they were not close in the real world, but they were a husband and a wife in the illusion world, so she did not want something bad to happen to his friend.

"Understood, city mistress." Zac and Aidan responded in unison.

"Hmm?" Ren glanced at her in surprise because he did not expect her to order her subordinates to protect Liam.

Like Ren, Liam was also shocked.

He only saw their first and second tests, so he did not know about their relationship in the illusion world.

’Are they a couple in the illusion world?’

He was suddenly curious about what had happened to them in the illusion world.

"The way to get past the barrier is simple." Ren said, "You only need to hold your token and you will be able to walk through the barrier."

"Hmm? How did you know about it?" Liam asked curiously.

Ren did not check the barrier, so he should be clueless like them.

"Stop asking a question and just do what I say." Ren was too lazy to explain it. "Scarlett, let’s go."

"Un." Scarlett nodded her head.

As Aidan looked at Scarlett and Ren walking through the barrier, a question popped up in his mind.

"General Zac, don’t you think there is something different about city mistress?" Aidan had known Scarlett for a long time, but it was the first time he saw her treating a man so well.

"Yes. I feel it too." Zac also felt the way Scarlett treated Ren was different from the way she usually treated other men.

She always followed his words without complaining, as if she were his obedient wife.

"Don’t waste any more time and enter the silver tunnel immediately. The treasure is waiting for us there." Liam tapped their shoulders and acted friendly, as if they were good friends.

Zac and Aidan exchanged a glance with each other before finally nodding their heads. "Alright."

As they walked through the barrier, Ren and Scarlett entered the chamber.

The duo felt like their feet barely touched the ground when they stepped into the chamber because they saw many treasure chests, armors, swords, etc.

Even his system was also thrilled, checking all the items with the Appraisal feature on its own.

Scarlett stood before the treasure chests and spoke, "Ren, there are forty-eight treasure chests: ten chests are full of gold coins, eighteen chests are full of silver coins and twenty chests are full of copper coins."

Even though she acted normally on the outside, she was thrilled on the inside because she could make her city stronger with the treasure in the chamber.

"Let’s share everything fairly." He loved treasure, but he was not a selfish person, so he suggested they share everything fairly.

"Alright." She responded.

Scarlett then gave him five chests of gold coins, nine chests of silver coins and ten chests of copper coins.

Each chest contained ten thousand coins, so they got fifty thousand gold coins, ninety thousand silver coins and one hundred thousand copper coins.

Ren almost could not suppress his happiness when he saw the money. He was poor before coming to the abode, but it could be said he was rich now.

’System, take five thousand gold coins from this treasure chest.’

Money could save his life, so he ordered his system to take five thousand gold coins immediately.

[Understood, Host.]

Five thousand gold coins disappeared from the treasure chest.

’I will put the rest in my space ring.’

With that idea in mind, he stored the treasure chests in his space ring.

As Ren was about to approach Scarlett, his system told him about good armor.

[Host, take that black armor. It’s War Armor.]

’Black armor? Which one?’

There were one hundred and twenty armors in the chamber and some of them were black in color, so he did not know which one his system was talking about.

[The armor next to the red sword.]

’Hmm? This one?’

Ren stood before the War Armor and inspected it.

’Wow! What a beautiful armor!’

The black armor before him was amazing and beautiful.

It was so beautiful to the point that it looked like the armor was made for display, not for body protection.

’System, analyze this armor.’

He wanted to see the description of the armor with his own eyes, so he ordered his system to use the Appraisal feature.

---

Name: War Armor.

Grade: Unique (Divine)

Condition: Poor (40% broken).

Effects: due to poor conditions, most of the effects are temporarily lost.

---

’Hmm? Did the grade decrease because it’s in poor conditions?’

He touched his chin.

[That’s right, Host. If you can repair this War Armor, it will return to its original grade, Divine grade. However, repairing this armor isn’t easy because rare materials are needed to repair it.]

Even though it was in a broken state, it still had good defensive power. The best thing was that he could wear and remove the armor with only a thought.

’Really?’

Ren was pleasantly surprised by it.

[Host, just drop a blood on this War Armor. Once connected to you, you can change its shape into anything like a bracelet, ring, or necklace.]

His system said he only needed to imagine it if he wanted to wear the armor.

He could even put the armor on other people because the armor would be completely under his control after he dropped his blood on it.

Ren became even more interested in the armor after finding out that he could wear and remove the armor with only a thought.

[Host, take the red sword next to this War Armor, too. It’s called Downbringer Sword, a sword of Unique grade.]

Even though Ren had already had Aether Weapon, its current grade was only at the Rare grade because he was still at the Master rank, so the Downbringer sword was better for now.

[Host, the War Armor and Downbringer Sword are the best items in this chamber. Just take it. If you feel sorry for her, you can tell her to take the rest of the weapons and armors.]

His system said most of the weapons and armors were at Uncommon and Rare grades, so it should not be a bad trade for her.

Ren did not do what he was told and shifted his gaze to Scarlett.

’What should I do?’

He would not waver if they were not a husband and a wife in the illusion world because what they experienced in the illusion world had influenced his behavior toward her.

[Host, you don’t need to feel bad for her because she will get 119 armors and 129 weapons.]

’But still...’

A husband would always care about his wife, and a husband would never take advantage of his wife, so he did not take it immediately.

"What are you doing?" Scarlett asked as she approached him.
