21 Opening the Treasure Chest

In response to Wayne's request, Toruviel promptly organized several elves to construct a new tent in an open space, situated more than ten meters away from their current camp. Additionally, she directed others to prepare all the necessary quilts and pillows for resting.

This is the attitude one should adopt when asking for help. However, Wayne was not polite. After conversing with the female elf leader, he entered straight away, under the curious gazes of some elves and dwarves.

This tent is constructed from animal leather, featuring a cone-shaped structure with a relatively cramped interior. The craftsmanship of the artisan who crafted it may not be of the highest quality. Upon entering the tent, Wayne immediately detected the distinct odor of animal urine.

However, the quilt spread on the carpet was very clean, and when lying on it, there was still a faint scent of flowers.

It was still dusk, and despite traveling all the way from the Blue Mountains and spending several hours tracking through the forest, Wayne's body was already noticeably fatigued.

However, he didn't hastily lie down under the quilt to rest. Instead, he removed the wolf school's midsection armor from his upper body, crossed his legs, and entered a meditative state while sitting on the quilt.

He had been awaiting for this opportunity for a long time, and this time he succeeded in parting ways with Geralt. The treasure chests that had accumulated in the system for nearly two years were finally ready for the drawing stage.

To be honest, at times Wayne felt a bit like a pervert, marveling at his ability to resist the temptation of opening the treasure chest for two years solely through willpower. Is this something that ordinary young people can accomplish?

Looking at the 580 normal-level treasure chests under the taskbar and one expert-level treasure chest obtained from the mission, Wayne no longer hesitated and immediately chose to open one of them.

Ding! The treasure chest is opened normal level.

Obtained: 12 Ducats

After hearing the sound from the system, Wayne felt a weight in his hand, and out of thin air, there were twelve ducats that resembled gold coins appeared in his hand.

This is the first time he has seen this kind of currency. The coins are slightly shiny, and there are exquisite patterns printed on both sides, but the weight clearly indicates that it's not entirely made of gold.

Looking at the coins in his hand, Wayne couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, as if his illusions had been extinguished. Although twelve ducats were considered a considerable sum for ordinary farmers, Misha's entrusted rewards were only five ducats in total.

But in big cities like Vizima and Novigrad, this amount of money is probably equivalent to two days' rent and meals.

However, just as Wayne was feeling disappointed, a note about treasure chest rewards popped up in the system, reigniting his hope.

Ordinary-level treasure chests yield a small amount of currency from the corresponding region, with a 1% chance of obtaining an ordinary random item from another world. 

 Expert-level treasure chests provide a moderate amount of currency from the corresponding region, along with a 5% chance of acquiring a rare item from another world. 

 Master-level treasure chests result in a substantial amount of currency from the corresponding area, and there's a 20% chance of receiving a precious item from another world.

Finally, epic treasure chests yield an excess of currency from the corresponding region, with a 50% chance of obtaining an epic treasure from another world.

Upon reading the system's instructions, Wayne realized that it wasn't that the system's rewards were not good enough but rather that his luck wasn't favorable.

With this in mind, Wayne felt determined. He raised his hand and simultaneously selected a hundred ordinary treasure chests, opening them directly.

Ding! The treasure chest is opened, normal level *100.

Obtained: 1365 Ducats, one exquisite pocket watch.

Hearing the reward, Wayne was stunned for a moment. A purse containing thousands of coins appeared beside him out of thin air. Along with it, there was also a beautifully packaged small box.

It seems that the system still has a touch of humanity. Rather than tossing thousands of coins directly in front of him, it provided him with a complimentary money bag.

Seeing the brilliance of gold coins in the open money bag, Wayne didn't glance at the box containing the pocket watch. Unconsciously, he reached out and grabbed the money bag filled with Ducats in his hand.

The purse was heavy, resembling the size of a pineapple, and it weighed more than ten kilograms, indicating significant weight.

Although the gold content of gold coins in this world is minimal, possessing thousands of ducats is already a wealth that ordinary farmers may not be able to earn in their lifetime.

Examining the size of the purse, Wayne's rationality advised him against opening any more ordinary-level treasure chests today. Otherwise, it would be difficult to hide so many Ducats, and explaining the situation upon reuniting with Geralt tomorrow would be difficult.

However, he is still a young man with strong curiosity. After much consideration, Wayne chose to open the only expert-level treasure chest.

Ding! Treasure chest opened, expert level.

Obtained: 278 Ducats, Doran's Ring.

As the system sound fell, a smaller money bag and a beautiful purple gemstone ring appeared beside him

Hearing the name of the reward, Wayne was overjoyed. He put down the purse in his hand and picked up the purple gemstone ring. Simultaneously, the system provided an explanation of Doran's ring attributes.

Doran's Ring: Originating from the continent of Valoran, crafted by the legendary blacksmith Doran. It enhances the recovery speed of a moderate amount of mana and boosts a small amount of magic power. Additionally, every time an enemy is killed, a small amount of mana is immediately restored.

Of course, Wayne is no stranger to this ring. It is the strongest starting equipment for mage heroes in the League of Legends game.

Although in the real world, the description given by the system may not be as precise as in the game, simply examining the three effects it provides indicates that this is undoubtedly a very valuable magical equipment.

In Wayne's perspective, obtaining this Doran Ring is more exhilarating than the over 1000 ducats he acquired earlier.

He was originally a witcher who preferred using the signs, and the additional attributes of Doran's Ring, especially the special effect that killing enemies can restore mana, seemed to be tailor-made for him. This could significantly enhance his battery life.

The probability of obtaining an item from an expert-level treasure chest is 5.00%, and it still includes magical equipment that can be directly converted into strength.

It seems that my luck is still good.

With this in mind, Wayne placed the Doran Ring on the ring finger of his left hand. He then reached out, opened the exquisite box containing the pocket watch, and retrieved a golden pocket watch adorned with intricate carvings.

He admired the pocket watch in his hand and then checked the time on it, revealing that it was a 24-hour pocket watch.

The pocket watch is a very useful tool, but Wayne isn't certain if the time in this world aligns with the 24-hour system displayed on the pocket watch.

But upon reflection, even if it doesn't synchronize perfectly, it's still beneficial to use it as a timing tool. Contemplating this, Wayne couldn't resist stroking Doran's ring on his ring finger a few times. Sensing the enhanced attributes brought by this magical ring to his body, he gently closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but after donning Doran's ring, in his meditative state, Wayne senses that the mutant organs in his body appear to become more active.

This increase is quite noticeable. Wayne estimates that the recovery speed of the magic power in his body has increased by about one-third. This level of increase is sufficient for him to unleash the magic sign once or twice in a battle.

This sensation of a rapid increase in strength brought joy to Wayne. He closed his eyes and meditated for more than ten minutes when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching the tent from outside.

After more than ten seconds, the curtain of the tent was pulled open, and the leader of the elf woman, Toruviel, bent down and poked her head into the tent. She looked at him and said calmly, "Witcher, we have dinner ready. Would you like to join us?"
