Chapter 12: The Vessel of Greed

Page (1/3)

This was something Xiao Yang had not anticipated, and even less expected were the colors of the three objects appearing before him. The Dungeon Adventurer seemed to treat this Interdimensional Trading Zone as a world-class dungeon, and as a result, a wave of world-class rewards manifested before Xiao Yang’s eyes.

Two purple items and one golden.

Wow, who said the Dungeon Adventurer was no good? This Dungeon Adventurer was absolutely amazing!

The two purple items were:

[Prismatic Staff
Quality: Epic
Class Restriction: Elemental Mage
Effect: Attribute magic will carry additional chained attributes.
Description: The most eye-catching staff crafted from the rarest prismatic elemental gems.]

[Red Dragon’s Fang
Quality: Epic
Type: Weapon, Longblade
Class Restriction: Dragonborn
Effect: Unlocks Red Dragon transformation, grants extraordinary fire resistance and resistance to all elemental magics.
Description: A tooth fallen from an ancient red dragon—not due to decay, but actually knocked out by a bizarre fellow shouting “Powerful! Mighty! Dominant!” with a single punch in a strange dimension.]

Were these two purple items good? They were incredibly good. Although one was a purple staff, for mages it was practically a minor artifact. The other unlocked the Red Dragon transformation. If Xiao Yang could use either, he could probably easily crush that small skeleton dungeon.

The only problem was both items had class restrictions—one for Elemental Mage, the other for Dragonborn. Xiao Yang had no profession fitting either.

With a helpless sigh, he accepted that these two items were not meant for him and decided to choose the random gift box instead. There was no other choice; he could only gamble!

Deep inside, Xiao Yang reminded himself of this, but his expression grew ever more carefree.

Alright, even if fate had favored him, he probably would have gambled anyway—no other reason than the third random gift box was glowing golden.

[Legendary Gift Box
Quality: Legendary
Type: Consumable
Effect: Opening the box will most likely grant an item of equal quality to the box, with a small chance to receive an item of a higher tier.]

“Golden Legendary!”

Xiao Yang decisively chose the gift box. In that instant, the prismatic staff and Red Dragon’s Fang dimmed and vanished, replaced by a dazzling golden radiance before his eyes.

[Pot of Greed
Quality: Legendary
Type: Curio
Effect: When in good condition, potions consumed will grant permanent buffs.
Description: Potions are hardly such inconvenient things—drink another, and another, with no issues! A marvelous gift!]

A black iron pot adorned with an exaggerated, gaping mouth appeared in Xiao Yang’s hand. If the system’s description hadn’t just revealed the golden glow, who would have guessed this was a legendary item?

Without lingering, Xiao Yang hurriedly stowed the Pot of Greed in his personal inventory, but he was already eager to test its effect.

Coincidentally, he had just acquired a batch of weak healing potions. He fished one out from his pack and poured it into his mouth.

His health was already full, but after drinking the potion, he opened his character panel and saw a delightful change:

[Health: 21/21]

His maximum health had permanently increased by one point. Just like that, a permanent boost of one health point.

Essentially, Xiao Yang only needed to drink ten weak healing potions to gain a single attribute point. Moreover, the Pot of Greed wasn’t limited to health potions; other types seemed to grant permanent benefits as well.

Truly worthy of being a golden legendary!

Xiao Yang kept pulling weak healing potions from his backpack, drinking five in a row, pushing his health up to 25, still leaving three potions unused. He didn’t gulp down all his supplies at once.

Although the Pot of Greed was excellent, restraint was necessary. While converting all weak healing potions into permanent health was optimal and cost-effective, he wasn’t truly playing a game—if he encountered tough enemies or dire situations, having potions on hand could save his life!

After calming his excitement, Xiao Yang did not forget his original purpose—he was here to purchase various supplies, primarily to solve the pressing issues of food and water.

Of course, if possible, it would be best to acquire some fire-based skills: fire enchantments, incendiary bombs, scrolls—these would help efficiently clear out the prisoner zombies.

With this in mind, Xiao Yang stepped forward into the bustling, dazzling Interdimensional Trading Zone.

To be honest, this was his first time interacting with people and races from other worlds. He was truly a pioneer from the 33,214th dimension.

Not far away stood a tall elf. It could only be said that she looked exactly like the stereotypical elf—tall and beautiful. The only difference was that she was currently haggling fiercely, her face flushed, over a green crossbow at a dwarf’s stall.

Xiao Yang glanced at the dwarf’s sign displaying part of the green crossbow’s information.

A blue crossbow.

He only gave it a cursory glance, then nonchalantly looked away.

After all, a mere blue crossbow was nothing compared to the golden legendary curio in his own backpack.

Although Xiao Yang was only level five, trapped in a skeleton dungeon, nearly starved to death, and chased down by bone orbs in a pitiful state, he still held onto the same thought:

“The future is promising!”

Indeed, even just the Pot of Greed alone was enough to make many dimensions within ten miles, and even some lesser gods, envious.

After all, the Pot of Greed was no ordinary legendary item. As a unique curio, its rank was not strictly bound by the wielder’s realm. Simply by its ability, it was worth far more than many bona fide artifacts.

Carrying such an item, proclaiming “The future is promising” was certainly no exaggeration. Moreover, with Xiao Yang’s Dungeon Adventurer talent, the Pot of Greed was far from the end of his journey.

Truly, the future was indeed full of promise.
