Chapter 49: Rewards
Hang Yu awarded the players with their rewards.
【Ding, mission completed, you have gained Essence +1000, Contribution Points +1500, Golden Treasure Chest +1!】
【Ding, you have leveled up to Level 6…】
1000 Essence?!
1500 Contribution Points?!
Black-Eyed Rui Ge was directly stunned when he received the notification.
Although he had already expected that the mission rewards would not be small, for a team task involving all players, receiving such generous individual rewards was far beyond expectations.
Aside from the experience and bounty, there was even a Golden Treasure Chest.
This thing had never been seen before!
【Golden Treasure Chest】, a special item, non-tradable, non-droppable, valid for 24 hours... Description: This is a reward chest obtained from major missions or events, which can randomly yield equipment, skills, items, Contribution Points, etc, with the quality of the chest and its contents depending on the comprehensive evaluation and personal performance.
So that's how it was!
A random draw?
Ye Li Meng said, "This time the rewards are incredible! I directly leveled up to 6! And also got a Golden Treasure Chest!"
Chimera Wraith said, "I also leveled up to 6, but the chest I received is a Silver Treasure Chest!"
Street Slayer said, "Same here, Silver Treasure Chest for me!"
Niu Shisan said, "Why did I get a Bronze Treasure Chest?"
Artist Faction Leader said, "Same, I also got a Bronze Treasure Chest!"
Glorious Years said, "Although I didn’t get a chest, I still leveled up by one level and passively earned 500 Contribution Points!"
Human Cannon said, "Hahaha, me too, me too. In this mission, I was pure cannon fodder, didn’t contribute at all from beginning to end, yet still got so many Contribution Points. I’m rich now!"
"Feels amazing!"
"Game developers finally being generous!"
"Has nothing to do with the developers, it's our Lord's generosity!"
"Long live the Lord! Long live the Lord! Long live the Lord!"
"……"
Although the Lord had already left, he still received endless praise and admiration.
The richness of this mission’s rewards caused most players to level up by one, with several reaching Level 6, and the overall strength of the Fourth Calamity Legion skyrocketed significantly!
Players soon discovered that the mission rewards were linked to individual performance or contribution.
Lone Boat, Ye Li Meng, and Black-Eyed Rui Ge, these three received 1000 Essence +1500 Contribution Points +Golden Treasure Chest!
Midnight Pig Slayer, Salted Fish Thrust, Mad Blade Old Wang, Street Slayer, Chimera Wraith, and Little Bell, these six received 1000 Essence +1000 Contribution Points +Silver Treasure Chest.
In addition, 11 others received 600 Essence +600 Contribution Points +Bronze Treasure Chest!
The remaining 30 players only received 300 Essence +500 Contribution Points, without any chest reward.
The rewards players received were closely tied to their mission performance and contributions, and from the personal contribution rankings and reward distributions, it was evidently fair, leaving all players convinced and without complaints.
Human Cannon said, "I'm very curious what kind of stuff these reward chests can yield!"
Glorious Years said, "Why don’t all the big shots open their chests on the spot? Let us also broaden our horizons!"
"Agreed!"
"Open them, open them!"
Artist Faction Leader said, "Start from the Bronze Treasure Chests!"
【You opened a Bronze Treasure Chest and obtained ‘Wild Bull Chestplate’ +1!】
【You opened a Bronze Treasure Chest and obtained ‘Scorpion Tail Dagger’ +1!】
【You opened a Bronze Treasure Chest and obtained ‘Skeletal Goat Necklace’ +1!】
【……】
【You opened a Bronze Treasure Chest and obtained ‘Contribution Points’ +400】
【You opened a Bronze Treasure Chest and obtained ‘Photography Crystal’ +1!】
Among the eleven Bronze Treasure Chests, eight players received mid-to-high quality gray-grade equipment, two received 400 Contribution Points, and one obtained an Essence Contract Scroll, while another got the special item Photography Crystal.
Players exclaimed continuously.
Every chest yielded different items.
Normally, mid-to-high quality gray equipment was worth only around two to three hundred Contribution Points, so players who pulled 400 Contribution Points had an absolute luck explosion, and the one who got the Photography Crystal wasn’t bad either.
The Photography Crystal was basically the game’s screenshot function, and if one were to redeem it at the main camp, each would cost 500 Contribution Points and was often sold out due to limited stock.
This thing, even if one didn’t use it themselves, could easily be sold to rich players willing to buy it.
Or players could take in-game photos and sell them to media outlets or influencers.
Right now, Twisted Three Kingdoms was a hot discussion topic, but game data and screenshots were extremely rare, meaning they could probably fetch a good price.
Chenxi said, "Issuing mission rewards besides Essence and Contribution Points in this way is quite interesting."
Chimera Wraith said, "Next, it’s our turn with the Silver Treasure Chests."
Little Bell said, "I can't wait!"
The few hurried to open their chests.
【You opened a Silver Treasure Chest and obtained ‘Wild Bull Set’ +1】
【You opened a Silver Treasure Chest and obtained ‘Wild Bull Set’ +1】
【……】
【You opened a Silver Treasure Chest and obtained ‘Taiping Rejuvenation Spell Skill Card’ +1!】
Among the six Silver Treasure Chests, five yielded Wild Bull Sets.
Each set contained a full six pieces!
Wild Bull Chestplate + Wild Bull Pants + Wild Bull Boots + Wild Bull Mantle + Wild Bull Helmet + Wild Bull Gauntlets!
Although each piece was only mid-grade gray quality, the attributes and defense were quite good, and the six-piece set produced a bonus set effect, boosting attributes to a level where the average single piece value was comparable to higher-grade gray items!
Each piece was at least worth 200 Contribution Points.
All six combined were worth at least over a thousand Contribution Points.
Such a reward made other players very envious.
Among the six players, Midnight Pig Slayer’s situation was the most unique.
Instead of a Wild Bull Set, he received an item called a Skill Card.
【Taiping Rejuvenation Spell Skill Card】: Allows the player to inherit the green-quality skill “Taiping Rejuvenation Spell” for free. Learning Conditions: Level 5 or above, Will not lower than 30 points.
Treasure Chests could yield not only equipment, items, Contribution Points, but also skills!
The Taiping Rejuvenation Spell was not a skill stored within the Territory; it could only be learned from NPC Wei Ji and was a very powerful healing spell that ordinary players couldn’t easily obtain even if they wanted to.
"Old Pig hit the jackpot!"
"Skills are definitely more valuable!"
"Yeah, Wild Bull equipment is good, but it's ultimately just early-game gear!"
Midnight Pig Slayer laughed loudly, "I’m going to become the man with the most healing power in the Fourth Calamity Army!"
Finally, it was time for the Golden Treasure Chests.
The results of the three players opening their chests were as follows.
【You opened a Golden Treasure Chest and obtained ‘Skeletal Wild Bull Set’ +1】
【You opened a Golden Treasure Chest and obtained ‘Skill Breakthrough Card’ +1!】
【You opened a Golden Treasure Chest and obtained ‘Contribution Points’ +3000!】
"Absolute explosion!"
"This is insane! (voice crack)"
"Lone Boat opened a white-grade set!"
"Damn! These attributes are insane!"
"……"
When the Skeletal Wild Bull Set was displayed.
All players present showed eyes filled with burning excitement and shock!
This set was like a luxury upgraded version of the regular Wild Bull Set, with nearly double the defense of the ordinary set.
Each piece had a +4 Physical Damage Immunity bonus, and the full set gave an additional +6 bonus, totaling 30 points of damage reduction!
If further enhanced, just thinking about it was terrifying.
At this stage, this set's value was simply outrageous!
Black-Eyed Rui Ge received a whopping 3000 Contribution Points reward in one go, making his total Contribution Points exceed 5000, turning him into the richest player, enough to upgrade and enhance all his equipment in a new round, greatly boosting his strength.
As for Ye Li Meng, he obtained a "Skill Breakthrough Card," usable in the Skill Tower, allowing him to raise any skill below white-grade from Level 9 to Level 10, saving at least 2000 Essence in the process.
The reward contents were rich!
The reward strength was also immense!
This gave players tremendous positive feedback!
After opening the treasure chests, players began discussing loot distribution.
NPCs Wei Ji, Li Niu, and others led two hundred villagers to the players.
The villagers each offered their own treasured local specialties.
The Fourth Calamity Legion’s efforts and sacrifices in this battle were obvious to all.
Thanks to their fearless protection, Hexi Village did not lose a single villager.
Every villager looked at them with heartfelt reverence and gratitude, some even kneeling in thanks!
"You must not, you must not!"
"Please rise quickly!"
"……"
The villagers’ actions.
Made the players feel extremely gratified.
There was a strong sense of achievement.
Especially when they felt the villagers’ sincere reverence, gratitude, and recognition.
Players felt that all the hardships they endured were worth it.
This feeling of shedding blood and throwing themselves into battle, this thrilling and refreshing sensation of fighting for honor and revenge, was exactly what the increasingly dull, numb, and tedious real world was lacking.
We are true warriors!
We are all heroes in the villagers' eyes!
At this moment, whether materially or spiritually, players felt greatly fulfilled!
