Chapter 295 - 239: Junior Alchemist, Water Plant, Martial Arts Manual (Part 2)
In short, Building Translation was now even more useful.
Wang Yi proceeded to open the seventh Green Blind Box.
====
Ding! The One Box, Many Openings Talent has been activated. Calculating eight results for the current Chaos Blind Box opening.
Ding! The Box Opening Enhancement Talent has been activated. Items will be enhanced.
1. Brother Machete (Green, Enhanced +1)
2. Red Coat Cannon (Green, Enhanced +2)
3. Hero’s Sword (Green, Enhanced +3)
4. Bone Claw (Green, Enhanced +4)
5. Boomerang (Green, Enhanced +5)
6. Unicycle (Green, Enhanced +6)
7. Evil Dragon Performance Suit (Green, Enhanced +7)
8. Hardware Tool Box (Green, Enhanced +8)
====
’The options from this batch all seem pretty good...’
Wang Yi examined the options before him.
’The Brother Machete... this might be a conceptual weapon.’
’The Hero’s Sword should be good, but its enhancement level is a little low!’
’The Bone Claw, the Boomerang... I’m not sure if they’re weapons.’
’The Evil Dragon Performance Suit should be something good.’
’So, should I choose the Evil Dragon Performance Suit or the Hardware Tool Box?’
After thinking for half a minute, Wang Yi chose the Hardware Tool Box.
The moment he made his choice, the Hardware Tool Box appeared. It looked quite normal at first—a handheld toolbox with what seemed to be a plastic case. But after a golden light flashed upon it eight times, it transformed into a square, brilliant gold backpack.
====
Name: Hardware Tool Box +8
Description: A toolbox for storing various hardware tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, and hammers.
Special Effect: [Sturdy and Durable]
Enhanced +1: Becomes a metal box.
Enhanced +2: Contains more hardware tools.
Enhanced +3: Tools can be retrieved by thought.
Enhanced +5: Hardware tools become solid, reliable, and will never wear out.
Enhanced +6: Hardware tools are automatically retrieved.
Enhanced +7: Hardware tools gain a defense-piercing effect, ignoring physical defense.
Enhanced +8: The toolbox gains a Storage Compartment and allows for customizable hardware tools.
====
’I thought it was going to turn into a hardware store, but it’s still just a toolbox. It’s transformed just like a Saint Seiya’s Sacred Armor Treasure Chest. Anyone who didn’t know better would think it’s some incredible treasure.’
Wang Yi put away the [Hardware Tool Box]. It wasn’t that the item was weak, but it would only reach its full potential in the right hands.
He continued by opening the eighth Green Blind Box, which also presented eight options. This time, Wang Yi chose the Enhanced +7 [Lord Experience Book]. After using it, his Lord Experience increased by 64,000 points!
From the ninth blind box, Wang Yi picked the Enhanced +4 [Waterwheel Construction Drawings], receiving 16 [Waterwheel Construction Drawings] as a result.
Wang Yi had received Waterwheel Construction Drawings before, sent over by Zhao Mei. That waterwheel was now built on the bank of the Peach Blossom River, near Liuhe Farm.
In Wang Yi’s eyes, the waterwheel was practically a decorative structure; it looked very nice. ’Now that I have another 16 construction drawings,’ he mused, ’I’ll just build them as I patrol the territory.’
Next up was the last Green Blind Box. Wang Yi clasped his hands and bowed to it nine times, which resulted in nine options appearing. From among them, Wang Yi chose the Enhanced +9 [Water Dispenser].
After being Enhanced +9, this water dispenser transformed directly into a water plant, which was automatically constructed outside his Luxurious Hovel.
Wang Yi walked out of the Luxurious Hovel to take a look. He found that the water plant was a building as large as the Gourmet Processing Plant, square like a Rubik’s cube, and equipped with 12 spigots. It could provide an unlimited supply of [Plain Boiled Water], [Boiling Water], [Warm Water], [Ice Water], [Mineral Water], and [Spiritual Spring Water].
’An unlimited supply? I wonder what would happen if I used a pipe to connect this water plant to the Gourmet Processing Plant for an infinite supply of Spiritual Spring Water?’
Wang Yi was struck by a sudden idea and felt it was worth a try.
However, he quickly returned to the Luxurious Hovel. He hadn’t finished opening all the Chaos Blind Boxes yet.
’All the Green Blind Boxes are open, now for the Purple Blind Boxes! C’mon, Mr. Purple, you have to come through for me!’
Wang Yi clasped his hands and bowed nine times to the Purple Blind Box before him, then slowly opened it.

Ding! The One Box, Many Openings Talent has been activated. Calculating six results for the current Chaos Blind Box opening.
Ding! The Box Opening Enhancement Talent has been activated. Items will be enhanced.
1. Ghost Fire Nunchaku (Purple, Enhanced +1)
2. Thunderbolt Whip (Purple, Enhanced +2)
3. Fairy Wand (Purple, Enhanced +3)
4. Chaos Egg (Purple, Enhanced +4)
5. Ancestral Salted Fish (Purple, Enhanced +5)
6. Martial Arts Manual (Purple, Enhanced +6)
====
"Haha! Nice try tricking me into picking another ancestral item! This time, I want the Martial Arts Manual!"
Wang Yi decisively chose the Enhanced +6 [Martial Arts Manual].
He had assumed it would be a Reclassification Certificate or a Skill Book, but it was nothing of the sort.
====
Name: Martial Arts Manual +6
Description: This is a Martial Arts Manual that progresses from basic to advanced, containing three Martial Arts Ultimate Skills. Learn and cultivate them to strengthen your body.
Opening Martial Art: [The 9th Set of Broadcast Calisthenics], Proficiency 0/10,000.
Effect 1: [Proficiency Unlock] +3. The next Martial Art is unlocked after maxing out the proficiency of the previous one. Enhanced: One session of serious cultivation now grants 8 proficiency points.
Effect 2: [Three Martial Arts] +3. Originally contains a total of three Martial Arts. Enhanced to contain a total of 18 Martial Arts.
Effect 3: [Exclusive Manual]. Automatically binds upon acquisition. It cannot be traded, lent, or lost. Features Soul Reading and Enlightenment.
Note: Practicing martial arts can strengthen the body and improve health.
====
’What is this, it wants me to do calisthenics? I did these in high school, and now I have to do them again? Ten thousand proficiency points to unlock the next Martial Art? Is this thing for real? It has to be a scam, right?’
Wang Yi muttered to himself, but he was also extremely curious.
He opened the thick Martial Arts Manual before him but could only flip through the first eight pages. Page one was titled [Marching in Place], page two was [Stretching], page three was [Chest Expansions], page four was [Kicking], page five was [Side Bends], page six was [Full-Body Exercises], page seven was [Jumping], and page eight was [Cool-down].
Wang Yi had only given it a quick skim, but a page for [The 9th Set of Broadcast Calisthenics], complete with a video animation, had already appeared on his personal information panel.
’It really is just school calisthenics... So... should I practice it or not? Damn it, is the system messing with me again?’
Wang Yi suspected the [Martial Arts Manual] was likely a prank, but he couldn’t help but wonder what the second Martial Art would be once he maxed out the calisthenics’ proficiency. He imagined that the martial arts that followed might actually make him stronger.
After putting away his exclusive [Martial Arts Manual], Wang Yi went back to opening blind boxes. The Purple Blind Box was done, leaving two Golden Blind Boxes.
Wang Yi opened the first one and was surprised to see only three options appear.
====
1. Wireless Mouse (Golden, Enhanced +1)
2. Tragic Guitar (Golden, Enhanced +2)
3. Chaos Egg (Golden, Enhanced +3)
====
’What’s the use of a single wireless mouse? Why is it Golden-grade? Can the Tragic Guitar play some kind of sorrowful, demonic music?’
Wang Yi grumbled, but he naturally chose the Chaos Egg.
[Chaos Egg +3: Golden Quality: Consumes 100 Chaos Energy to hatch a ruthless employee for you. This employee will be completely loyal to you, calm, but with violent tendencies. They are skilled with hidden weapons, possess good organizational and coordination abilities, and have four skills.]
’This Chaos Egg seems pretty decent!’
After a moment’s thought, Wang Yi hatched the Chaos Egg he had just acquired.
A refined-looking young man stood up from within the eggshell. His hair was neatly combed, he wore gold-rimmed glasses, and he had a black briefcase tucked under his arm. Dressed in a white shirt, tie, and shiny leather shoes, he looked just like an office worker.
"Hello, Boss. I am Siyan!"
The young man bowed to Wang Yi, and with a CLANK, a wrench fell out of his briefcase.
"It’s just a wrench. Nothing strange about that, right?"
As Siyan bent over to pick up the wrench, a hammer dropped out of his pant leg.
