149 Hidden Tribute, Divine Breaker (2/2)

In the beginning, there were plenty of people who hastily opened the brocade boxes at the very first moment.

Only three people waited three days after the quest ended before they opened their brocade boxes. There was also one person who opened the brocade box half a month later.

The value of the items those three people obtained were the greatest!

Their treasures ranked at the top of the Masterpiece Ranking Board that would appear later. It was only a year after they appeared that they gradually slid down from the top ranks.

Hence, when Happy received the notification from the system that he could open the brocade box at any moment to receive the treasures inside, he was in great conflict in his heart. So much so that he did not open the brocade box even after half a day had passed!

Should he open it right away or should he imitate those three people and open the brocade box after a while?

Happy could not come to a decision.

He did not know if he could be like the three people from his past life if he delayed the opening of the box. After all, now that he had bad blood with Class One Hall, he could no longer keep a low-profile. Hence, he had to quickly strengthen himself so that he could handle the enemies that would surely come at him in endless streams.

As of right then, he still did not possess the strength to go up against a giant organization. His cultivation could not make up for the disadvantage of having to face multiple people by himself. He also did not have the ability to defend himself completely.

In silence, Happy placed his hand on the brocade box and tapped it at an irregular interval. There was a frown on his face as he was unable to come to a decision.

He sat there for half a day!

When night fell, bright moonlight shone on Happy's body. It also illuminated the mountain across from him. Wailings and the howls of wolves could be heard from over there. The five heavy chains swayed as well, which created a rather noisy, but peaceful scene.

Happy opened his eyes and decided to put the brocade box into his Universe Bag. When he stood up at the cliff, his heroic bearing and fluttering blue robes made it seem like he had come to a decision. With the round moon high in the sky shining on him, he jumped and landed on the iron chains as lightly as an immortal.

In Beijing, there was a stall set up by an old and blind fortune teller. A few hours earlier, a person wearing a black cape had paid him for his services.

The blind old man was named Iron-mouthed Divine Break, and he had a very resounding reputation in Beijing. He claimed to be the seventeenth successor of Ghost, and all those who paid him for his divination services found that the results were very accurate.

His divinations allowed him to predict when a player would be the luckiest on that day.

When a player went out to fight monsters or carried out quests at that time, their rewards would be much greater than at any other time!

And the blind old man had a specialty in being able to help wandering martial artists avoid trouble and solve their problems!

All those who wanted to learn of their enemy's or a certain player's location could pay a certain ”divination fee” for that knowledge.

However, the blind old man could only tell the player's location from ten minutes ago based on his divination techniques. And he could only figure out the general location, not the exact coordinates in the game.

The divination fee for a person's location were more expensive as well. Every single time, a player would have to pay more than one thousand taels of silver crumbs.

Even so, Iron-mouthed Divine Breaker was visited by many players!

Right when they logged in, some of the players who believed in this sort of stuff would offer their money to learn when their luck would be the best, or they would ask him about the important but hidden news.

The person wearing the black cloak had been in front of the stall since noon.

Once in a while, he would hand over a bag of silver crumbs and a note to the fortune teller. Once the blind old man took it, he would touch it with his hands and begin counting.

In a while, practically all the players in Dengfeng City learned that there was one rich player who did not treat his money as anything important. He just kept on handing it over to Iron-mouthed Divine Breaker, but no one knew just what sort of important news he wanted to know.
