Chapter 9: Three-Leaf Necklace, Heart-Protecting Lotus
After all, Zhou Han was the first person to trigger the system announcement, so many people with different motives tried to add him as a friend.
Zhou Han casually opened a few of the friend requests.
"Zhou Han, you're pretty good. You're qualified to become my friend, Chen Beixuan."
Zhou Han was speechless. This guy was way too chuunibyou, so he directly rejected the request.
"Little brother, carry me, I have great skills, I'm a professional yoga practitioner, here are my private uncensored photos."
Zhou Han opened the images and took a look. They were all indecent, revealing photos of women posing provocatively without clothes.
Mm, the bodies were decent, but that was all.
Beside Zhou Han were two great beauties. These vulgar women simply didn't enter his eyes.
He immediately rejected them and clicked report, not sure if it would even help.
After looking through a few more requests, Zhou Han quickly lost interest.
They were all nothing more than people asking to be carried or invited into a team.
Zhou Han let the system automatically reject them all.
Of course, there were also some mocking messages, which were directly blacklisted.
After handling everything, Zhou Han began checking the rewards he had received.
10 gold coins and a bronze chest had already appeared in his system inventory.
From the support system, he learned that in the world of Mythic God Realm, there are various treasure chests that can be opened.
These chests also have quality tiers, similar to monster ranks.
Bronze, silver… and so on.
Anything can be obtained from treasure chests. The higher the quality, the higher the probability of getting good items.
Zhou Han felt a bit excited, wondering if he would get lucky and obtain something high-quality.
"Can a bronze chest be strengthened?" Zhou Han suddenly asked.
[Of course it can be strengthened, but strengthening it won't make much difference. It is recommended not to waste enhancement points!]
[It's better to enhance the item after it is opened!]
Zhou Han nodded: "Open the bronze chest."
[System notification: You opened the bronze chest.]
[Congratulations, you obtained equipment: Three-Leaf Necklace.]
"Oh? An accessory. Not bad luck, but I don't know its quality."
If equipment drops were already rare, accessories were one hundred times rarer.
Zhou Han immediately checked its attributes.
[Three-Leaf Necklace]
[Grade: Silver]
[Attribute: Attack +20]
[Effect: Absorbs 300 damage.]
[Description: Made from three-leaf grass, it has decent protective ability.]
A silver-grade item from a bronze chest—this was already very lucky.
Moreover, a silver accessory naturally comes with a special effect even without enhancement.
It increased attack power while also providing defensive capability.
It was a very balanced item—definitely a big win.
"Enhance it twice!"
[You activated your talent: Infinite Enhancement. Successfully enhanced twice. Please check the attributes.]
Higher-grade equipment requires more enhancement points.
[Three-Leaf Necklace +2]
[Grade: Silver]
[Attribute: Attack +100]
[Effect 1: Absorbs 2000 damage.]
[Effect 2: Increases poison resistance by 50%.]
[Description: Excellent all-round defensive and offensive accessory.]
After reading the description, Zhou Han smiled slightly.
Attack power had reached 100, and it could absorb 2000 damage.
The new effect granted poison resistance, meaning he could now deal with poison-type monsters more easily.
"Zhou Han, you're so handsome! You actually killed a bronze-grade monster?"
Han Xiangning rushed over, her face full of joy after hearing the system announcement.
"I've always been handsome. You're just realizing it now?"
"…"
"I'm so happy! My sister and I both reached level 2."
"It's all thanks to you, Zhou Han. Otherwise, we wouldn't have leveled up so easily."
Han Qinxue looked at Zhou Han with gratitude.
She felt lucky to have met someone as strong as him.
Zhou Han's experience had already reached 89% toward level 2.
"So happy! Leveling up with Zhou Han is amazing!"
Han Xiangning smiled, her eyes curved like crescents. Leveling while being carried felt incredibly good.
"Let's go. Keep hunting monsters and try to reach level 10 quickly."
The two girls nodded and quickly followed Zhou Han into the depths of the forest.
After killing many monsters, Zhou Han reached level 3.
He discovered that the greater the level difference when killing monsters, the more experience he gained.
…
"Zhou Han, there's something good!"
"I found a natural treasure!" Han Qinxue said excitedly, her expression extremely happy.
Soon, the three of them arrived near a water pool.
According to Han Qinxue, there really was a spiritual fruit inside the water.
As Zhou Han approached, he immediately smelled a natural fragrance that was refreshing and calming.
A lotus-like object was growing among the aquatic plants.
Without Han Qinxue's sharp eyesight, it would have been impossible to notice.
This place was too hidden.
Zhou Han used his appraisal skill and saw the details.
[Heart-Protecting Lotus]
[Grade: Bronze]
[Type: Spiritual fruit]
[Effect: After consumption, HP +100.]
[Description: Each person can only consume it once. Additional uses do not stack.]
Indeed, it was a good item—+100 HP.
In this dangerous world, higher HP meant greater safety.
Zhou Han was about to pick the lotus when a loud shout suddenly came.
"What are you doing? Don't move! We found it first."
Four people appeared from the side, all staring greedily at the lotus in the pool.
One of them had a talent related to smell and had followed the scent here.
After discovering the treasure, their greed was instantly ignited.
Just as Zhou Han was about to harvest it, the situation escalated.
"You found it first? I didn't see any of you here when I arrived."
Zhou Han frowned but still spoke calmly.
"We found it first. Are you questioning us?"
The leader's tone turned cold.
Seeing Zhou Han alone, he was delighted.
Four against one—an easy win.
"Hand over the spirit fruit, or you won't like the consequences."
"Don't be stupid. This isn't Earth anymore. If you don't want to die, get lost."
The others looked at Zhou Han with malicious intent.
"Heh. Are you threatening me? I'll give you ten seconds. Disappear from my sight before I change my mind."
Zhou Han said calmly.
"You've got a big mouth."
The leader narrowed his eyes.
Zhou Han's calm attitude made him hesitate.
Could this guy actually be a monster in disguise?
