Chapter 1164 -475 Storage Treasure Box_2
He had already discovered the danger of this place, and with no way to destroy it at the moment, the only solution was to leave a warning, to prevent others from coming here and unwittingly losing their lives.
After getting back onto land, Wang Tao’s speed had returned to normal. He appeared in front of Lightning in an instant, patted Lightning’s dog head and said,
“We’re going back to the place where we found the treasure chest. You remember the way, right?”
“Woof~”
Lightning immediately grew in size and carried Wang Tao as they ran back.
Previously, Wang Tao had only taken the items from an ordinary treasure chest and hadn’t paid much attention to the chest itself, but from what had just happened, it seemed that these chests were also valuable! Thus, he decided to go back and retrieve that chest.
During the return trip, Wang Tao checked his recent gains.
[Item Obtained: Awakening Seed x1]
[Awakening Seed: Plant it on the corpse of a creature of Fourth-Order Lord Level or above, and it will produce Awakening Fruits.]
The fine treasure chest contained only one item, which was this Awakening Seed.
Wang Tao had previously obtained an Awakening Seed, which was the one and only item dropped by the Disaster Class serpent he had killed.
He hadn’t expected to find another one inside a treasure chest!
This type of Awakening Seed was a valuable item; it could grow into Awakening Fruits. Wang Tao still had quite a few Awakening Fruits that he had yet to use.
[Awakening Fruit: Exceedingly delicious, coveted by many creatures]
[Third Order Humans who consume it can ascend to Level 4.]
[Third Order Non-Humans who consume it have a small chance of Awakening.]
[Humans Above Third Order who consume it receive 1 Awakening Key.]
[Non-Humans Above Third Order who consume it will see a slight increase in Constitution.]
[Creatures Below Third Order who consume it have a high chance of exploding and dying.]
Awakening Fruits had five functions, and for humans, the most important was the first one—after eating, they could ascend to Level 4.
But, according to Wang Tao’s speculation, ascending to Level 4 did not necessarily include Awakening; it was just an ascension, making one an Ability User, not an Awakener.
If one were to draw a parallel, a human Fourth-order Awakener would be equivalent to a beast’s Level 4, Lord, while a human Fourth-order Superpower would be akin to a Fourth Order Elite.
Although there were still quite a few unawakened people in Wang Tao’s team at the time, he did not let those who hadn’t Awakened consume the Awakening Fruits.
After all, he wasn’t interested in those who were not Awakeners.
He was also worried that if one ascended to Level 4, there might not be any chance of Awakening afterwards, which would be a huge loss.
Therefore, those remaining Awakening Fruits had always been kept in Wang Tao’s Space Backpack.
Of course, it was understandable that Wang Tao, with his strong abilities, looked down on ordinary Ability Users. But others might not feel the same, as most people don’t have Hidden Attributes, which is the fundamental requirement for Awakening.
If other Ability Users knew about the existence of the Awakening Fruits, they might be willing to spend their entire fortune to get one. Even if the limit after ascending to Level 4 is restricted, it is still far better than being an Ordinary Ability User.
Wang Tao had almost forgotten about the Awakening Fruits, but now that he saw this [Awakening Seed], he thought perhaps he could sell the Awakening Fruits to others in need, or store them in the school’s treasure vault…
After contemplating for a while, Wang Tao decided to first cultivate this Awakening Seed and then see whether he would sell it, gift it, or add it to the school’s treasure vault.
Then Wang Tao turned his attention to the Fine Treasure Chest inside the Space Backpack.
After some study, Wang Tao let out a light gasp of surprise.
This treasure chest was indeed a marvelous object, even better than he had anticipated—because it was a tool for storing items!
Tools capable of storing items, not counting his own Space Backpack, Wang Tao had only encountered two kinds.
One was the Magical Stomach Pouch obtained from killing zombies. Not only did it have a space that could store a lot of food, but its temperature was also very low, much like a refrigerator. It could prevent the spoilage of food.
Zombies possessing a Magical Stomach Pouch were rare but not unheard of. Besides Wang Tao, once others learned about the Magical Stomach Pouch, with some focused searching, they would occasionally find one.
However, the Magical Stomach Pouch also had significant drawbacks: one was that it could only store food, and nothing else could be placed inside it. Another was that it was only cold—like the refrigerated part of a fridge—and couldn’t genuinely preserve the food inside forever…
The second item-storage tool Wang Tao had come across was this treasure chest. And compared to the Magical Stomach Pouch, this treasure chest was much more awesome.
Firstly, this treasure chest could actually be locked!
Since Wang Tao had opened this Fine Treasure Chest with his own Awakening Key, he owned the chest. After locking it, only he could open the chest, while others could not. Of course, he could choose not to lock it with his mind, then others would be able to open it. Wang Tao hadn’t yet discovered how to change the ownership; he would have to research that later… As for the defensive power of the chest, Wang Tao had given it a simple test and could only say it was very strong. Even when he tried, he seemed unable to destroy it…
Secondly, the items inside this Fine Treasure Chest, much like his storage space, appeared to be in a state of suspended time!
As to whether it was really time suspension, since the time was too short, Wang Tao couldn’t test it out, but it felt like it should be.
So just on this point alone, when compared to the Magical Stomach Pouch, the treasure chest was in a league of its own. After all, the former was just a portable food refrigerator, while the latter was a treasure involving time and space!
Lastly, and most importantly, there was the issue of internal space size.
The external volume of the Fine Treasure Chest was much bigger than that of the Magical Stomach Pouch, and its internal space was also much larger!
The interior temperature of the Magical Stomach Pouch, not only similar to that of a fridge, but its internal space was roughly the same as that of a regular single-door fridge. The space inside different Magical Stomach Pouches varied, but they were all more or less at this level.
But the Fine Treasure Chest was different; the space inside it was much larger, approximately over a hundred cubic meters. It was equivalent to half a train car or a one-bedroom apartment!
This space was something the Magical Stomach Pouch couldn’t compare to!
Although it still couldn’t match Wang Tao’s Space Backpack with its infinite space, Wang Tao had just tried it out, and this chest could hold anything, whereas his Space Backpack could only hold items with names… From this perspective, the Fine Treasure Chest was even better than his Space Backpack!
Wang Tao never used to think much about his storage space’s inability to hold other items, but now it was a bit bothersome; after all, everything is fine until you make a comparison…
Of course, the Fine Treasure Chest wasn’t without its flaws. On the contrary, it had quite significant drawbacks—size and weight.
The size of the chest was obviously not portable; it simply couldn’t be carried around like the Magical Stomach Pouch. Moreover, not only was size an issue, but the chest was also too heavy. Wang Tao couldn’t even move it for a while, so how was he supposed to carry it?
Thus Wang Tao felt that this chest was like the Level 5 Weapon [Ironwood Guardian] he had acquired before, only suitable for keeping at home and not for taking out…
A moment later, he arrived at the cave where he had opened the Ordinary Treasure Chest.
Wang Tao immediately ran in to check and saw that the Ordinary Treasure Chest was still lying quietly inside.
Upon careful examination, he discovered that this Ordinary Treasure Chest also had an internal space, although the volume was unsurprisingly small, roughly fifty to sixty cubic meters. But it was also incredibly heavy. However, since the chest had no lock, it could not be locked, and anyone could open the chest…
Swipe—
Wang Tao took this Ordinary Treasure Chest into his Space Backpack as well, and looking at the two chests quietly sitting inside his Space Backpack, he suddenly frowned.
“If I put items that my Space Backpack can’t carry into the chest, and then put the chest into the Space Backpack, wouldn’t that mean my Space Backpack can hold anything?”
