Chapter 377 The Blessing of Lady Luck
This time, the golden treasure chest has undergone a visible change!
The gold on the surface became even purer and more dazzling, as if it were not gilded, but rather the entire box was cast from solid gold.
The carved patterns seemed to come alive, flowing slowly across the surface of the box, radiating a faint magical glow.
After two upgrades, this treasure chest, which was originally just a regular reward in the maze, has become even more dazzling.
Lin Tian then reached out and placed his hand on the lock of the treasure chest.
The latch pops open automatically.
With a gentle lift.
Click.
The lid of the box opened with a click.
There was no dazzling gold or exaggerated special effects inside the box, only a bottle of medicine lying quietly on a soft, dark blue velvet cloth.
The velvet fabric is delicate and embroidered with star patterns, which complements the medicine perfectly.
The medicine bottle has a classic design, as if it were carved from crystal. The bottle is a slender cylinder with a silver screw cap on top.
Inside the bottle flowed a seven-colored, nebula-like liquid. The liquid slowly swirled and intertwined, forming tiny vortices that then dispersed and reformed, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene, as if a starry sky had been sealed inside the bottle.
Next to the bottle, there was also a small parchment scroll.
The paper roll was tied with a gold ribbon, the end of which was tied into a delicate bow.
Almost as soon as the lid opened, the system's notification sounded clearly in Lin Tian's mind:
Congratulations! You have obtained the item "Blessing of Lady Luck"!
Lin Tianxian reached out and picked up the parchment scroll, untied the ribbon, and unfolded it.
The paper roll is thin, but it is tough and has a warm feel.
A passage is written in elegant cursive script, the characters appearing as if composed of dots of light, seemingly floating slightly before your eyes as you read:
"To have found this place, you must be incredibly smart or incredibly lucky. Here's a little gift for you; using it will help you find the exit even faster."
Finally, there's a simple, slightly crooked smiley face, which contrasts cutely with the elegant cursive script.
Lin Tian finished reading it expressionlessly and put the parchment scroll aside.
The paper spontaneously combusted the moment it left his fingers, turning into golden specks of light and dissipating—clearly a disposable information carrier.
Then he picked up the bottle of the magical potion.
The bottle feels cool to the touch, but the swirling nebula inside emits gentle energy fluctuations, creating a wonderful balance between the two.
The system notification corroborates the message on the parchment, but the specific effects of this potion still need to be checked by examining its properties.
Blessing from Lady Luck
Type: Consumables/Permanent Buff Items
Effect: After drinking, it permanently increases the user's base luck value by 20 points.
Description: A tiny blessing left behind in the vast world by some bored and lucky goddess. Those who find it may already be blessed with a bit of good fortune.
(Note: Effects are not cumulative; only the first use is effective.)
(Note: The Luck attribute is a hidden attribute that affects the drop rate of rare items, critical hit rate, and the success rate of some judgments. The base Luck value is extremely difficult to increase, so please cherish this item.)
"20 points... permanent luck points..." Lin Tian repeated in a low voice, a satisfied glint in his eyes.
Even with his composure, his heart couldn't help but beat a little faster at this moment.
His base luck attribute has always been 0.
Yes, it's zero.
From the very first day he entered "Battle for Supremacy in the Myriad Realms", this attribute stubbornly remained in its initial state. No matter how many levels he leveled up or how many achievements he completed, his base luck value remained unchanged.
While equipment can provide some luck bonuses, it is ultimately an external thing, and the bonus is limited.
Now, this bottle of "Goddess of Luck's Blessing" can finally break his embarrassing "zero luck" curse!
This is definitely his biggest find since entering this pixelated maze!
Just this one bottle of potion alone made today's maze-breaking expenses worthwhile, no, it was a huge profit!
However, when his gaze fell on that line of description again—"To find this place, you must be either exceptionally intelligent or exceptionally lucky."
"..."
Lin Tian's smile froze instantly, then slowly crumbled, and his face darkened at a visible speed.
Although the parchment had been burned, he still remembered its contents clearly.
"Exceptionally intelligent? Exceptionally lucky?" He gritted his teeth, almost grinding his molars as he spat out the words.
Looking back, I remember wandering around that maze like a headless fly for half an hour, hitting walls everywhere, and trying seventeen different solutions, all of which failed.
Finally, enraged, he began to bombard the area with [Star Rays], purely with the mentality of "tear this damn place down."
The experience of accidentally discovering this treasure chest...
This description was like a resounding slap in the face, laced with sarcasm, landing squarely on his cheek.
"You really know how to rub salt in the wound!"
Lin Tian snorted irritably, feeling the medicine in his hand getting a little hot.
This Lady Luck is not only incredibly bored, but she probably also has a rather wicked sense of humor! Leaving a reward is one thing, but she also has to add a sarcastic comment!
However, despite the complaints, the benefits of the potion are real.
Lin Tian was never the kind of person who would give up practical benefits for the sake of saving face.
Without the slightest hesitation, he pinched the silver bottle cap between his thumb and forefinger and gently twisted it.
The bottle cap popped open with a soft "pop".
An indescribable fragrance wafted from the bottle opening. The scent was unlike any known floral or fruity fragrance; it was more like... the scent of the air after a rainstorm, a sunny afternoon in childhood, the sense of accomplishment when achieving an important goal for the first time—the olfactory embodiment of these abstract concepts.
Lin Tian tilted his head back and drank the seven-colored nebula-like liquid in the bottle in one gulp.
The liquid is icy cold upon entry, like melting snow, but transforms into a warm, soothing current as it slides down the throat.
The warm current instantly spread to every part of my body, and every cell seemed to be jumping for joy.
Ultimately, all the warmth converged at the center of the forehead, merging into the depths of the soul.
He immediately brought up his attribute panel.
A semi-transparent data interface unfolded before him, the densely packed list of attributes dazzling his eyes, but his gaze was immediately fixed on the bottom column:
[Luck: 0] → [Luck: 20]
That glaring "0" has finally disappeared!
Instead, it is "20".
Although 20 points may not seem like much—it is indeed insignificant compared to his other attributes that often reach millions—as a basic luck attribute that is extremely difficult to improve, it is not enough to have 0 eggs.
Looking at the luck value on the attribute panel, which was no longer zero, Lin Tian felt much better.
Although the description was a bit infuriating, I actually received real benefits.
He looked around. The several huge passages he had blasted out were still slowly repairing themselves, but the main body of the maze still stood stubbornly, with countless intricate passages extending into the unknown darkness, as if silently mocking the futility of his previous half hour of work.
