Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Chaos Lord Yang Wanli

The successful creation of the Bamboo Section Arrows and Fire Dragon Oil made Wang Yi quietly add the mission to clear out Black Mountain Stronghold to his agenda.

’The next step is to mass-produce Bamboo Section Arrows and Fire Dragon Oil, and at the same time, train more Civilian Archers. If I had some way to protect myself, I could go clear out the stronghold without worry. Once I complete this bandit-clearing mission, I’m sure to get some great system rewards. I can’t let anyone else get to it first...’

Wang Yi slept soundly through the night. Early the next morning, he urged Pang Damao to take some men and gather Long-Sectioned Bamboo stalks. He even assigned the three Rock Giant Scorpions to them to speed up their journey.

He also pushed Zhang Dashan to speed up the production of Fire Dragon Oil.

Amid the hustle and bustle, noon arrived before Wang Yi knew it. He brought two packs of braised beef and a cup of Vegetable Soup up to the Floating Mountain. Just as he was about to continue exploring the map, he saw Boss Li running over with a joyful look on his face.

His tunic was bulging, clearly hiding something inside.

’No way, did he find another Chaos Blind Box?’

Wang Yi walked over to meet him. To his pleasant surprise, Boss Li did indeed pull another Chaos Blind Box from his tunic, though this time it was only a Green one.

”This is the third one. Your girl found this one too.”

”Right! That girl of yours is really lucky!”

’This isn’t just good luck...’

Wang Yi subconsciously rubbed his chin as he looked at the Green Blind Box Boss Li was handing him.

’Finding one of these might be a coincidence.’

’Finding two, you could say is good fortune!’

’But finding three in a row, when no one else can find any? That can’t be called luck anymore.’

’Could this girl be one of those exploration-type units?’

Wang Yi had received a system notification before, informing him that only Player Lords or exploration-type units could discover things like resource points and Treasure Chests in the wild while exploring the greater world. Other people couldn’t; even if a Treasure Chest was right there, they wouldn’t be able to see it.

He strongly suspected that young Li Hua’er was an exploration-type unit. Even if she wasn’t, she definitely had some extraordinary quality.

”Factory Director Li, your girl has performed another great service. Tell me, what do you want this time?”

”Boss, don’t laugh at me. I’m a simple man. Some food or coins would be fine!”

Hearing this, Wang Yi directly took out a Gold Coin and said, ”Take this for now!”

Boss Li was overjoyed. One Gold Coin was equivalent to 10,000 Copper Coins, which was nearly two months’ wages for an ordinary worker in Eggshell Village. It was enough to buy 500 catties of crispy, salty dried fish.

”Your girl is exceptionally talented and is destined for great things. Bring her to me. I’ll take her on a tour of our lands...”

Wang Yi gave Boss Li some instructions. Boss Li, his face beaming with delight, said he would bring the girl over immediately.

After Boss Li left, Wang Yi opened the newly acquired Green Blind Box with great anticipation.

2: Ancestral Swimming Trunks (White, Enhance +2)

3: Golden Spittoon (White, Enhance +3)

4: Plastic Suit (White, Enhance +4)

5: Information Card (White, Enhance +5)

====

’Ancestral Swimming Trunks, a Golden Spittoon, a Plastic Suit... the system is wild. If I ever get to open blind boxes freely, I’m definitely going to open a few of these things just to see what the hell I’d get!’

Wang Yi shook his head. His choice, of course, was the Enhance +5 [Information Card]. Although he didn’t know what it was, he figured it had to be better than some ancestral swimming trunks.

====

Name: Information Card +5

Description: The Information Card is a consumable functional item. After use, it can automatically add character information to a target. This information can be viewed by Players to easily ascertain the target’s identity and facilitate personnel management.

Note: After being Enhanced to +5, this item can be used on a Player. After use, it allows the Player to edit their own character information. Additionally, it grants one bonus use, adding identity information to a random territory unit.

====

’A functional item? Adds character information? Facilitates personnel management?’

Wang Yi’s eyes lit up. He immediately used the Information Card he had just obtained, activating it on himself.

The next moment, two text-editing windows popped up in front of him.

One was for himself, containing the text: ”Wang Yi, Chaos Lord, Wanderer, possesses C-Rank Talent [Box Opening Enhancement]...”

The other, surprisingly, was for Yang Wanli—the target selected by the random bonus use. It already contained auto-generated text: ”Yang Wanli, village chief of Stone Village, barefoot doctor, possesses some knowledge of medicinal herbs, can cure some common illnesses!”

After a moment’s thought, Wang Yi first deleted all of his own character information, leaving nothing, and then clicked save.

’This way, other Players won’t be able to see my character information. It’s basically the same as hiding it!’

Wang Yi smiled faintly and began editing Yang Wanli’s character information.

’Sorry about this, Old Yang, but you’re going to be my substitute!’

Wang Yi thought to himself, quickly changing Yang Wanli’s character information to: ”Yang Wanli, Chaos Lord, village chief of Stone Village, Lord Talent is A-Rank [Professional Substitute].”

The reason for this was that Wang Yi was worried about potential Assassins targeting him with tactics like assassinations or decapitation strikes.

In short, after saving Yang Wanli’s new information, any Player who saw it would be 100% convinced that he was the real Player Lord. This would make Yang Wanli the one standing in front, taking the heat and drawing fire, allowing Wang Yi to hide in the back and be relatively safer.

’Hopefully there won’t be any Assassins or anything, but if by some chance Old Yang unfortunately gets taken out, well... I’ll just have to give him a great opportunity as compensation...’

Wang Yi patted the Storage Waistband at his waist. Inside, he still had a piece of Tongyou Jade.

At that very moment, in the courtyard of the Foreign Affairs Department, Yang Wanli was rolling Hemostatic Pills.

The recipe for the Hemostatic Pills had been provided by Jelena, and Yang Wanli had been very skeptical at first.

’Take a stalk of Hemostatic Grass, mix it with a bit of mud, and roll it into a ball—that’s supposed to be a Hemostatic Pill?’

He thought it was like child’s play.

The man was hardcore, though. He’d cut his own arm with a knife to personally test the medicine. After trying it, he was completely convinced.

’I can’t believe something this simple can create a Hemostatic Pill that works so well! No, this recipe must be kept secret. It absolutely cannot be leaked. I need to find out who else knows this method. The production of Hemostatic Pills must also be handled with extreme caution, by reliable people only. Right, I also need to go to Pottery Village and Gourd Village to recruit...’

As Yang Wanli was mulling this over, he suddenly sneezed for no reason. He rubbed his nose and muttered, ”Damn it, is someone cursing my name? Why do I suddenly have a chill down my spine...”

A moment later, Boss Li brought Li Hua’er to Wang Yi. Without further delay, Wang Yi led Li Hua’er up the Floating Mountain and began exploring the map.

He strongly suspected Li Hua’er had a special talent, and bringing her along might lead to some pleasant surprises.

Accompanying Wang Yi on his map exploration today was also a fully-armed Man Datou.

He no longer needed to grind the General’s Tomb dungeon, as Jelena, who could instant-cast ”Small Fireball,” had completely replaced him there. This loyal guard had now once again become Wang Yi’s personal bodyguard.
