Chapter 18: Blessed by Luck! Life Return and Gundam Manufacturing Technology!
After putting away the enhancer, Horn's attention shifted to the intermediate blind boxes.
Although he still had 3000 points left over after deducting the 20000 points required for two intermediate blind boxes, which he could use to open beginner blind boxes, he chose to keep them.
For him now, the rewards from the beginner blind boxes, except for the D-grade ones, are no longer enough. It's better to save them up and open the intermediate blind boxes when he reaches 10000 points.
"Two chances, as long as you don't give me an E-level prize, anything else is fine."
Horn silently prayed as he opened the intermediate blind box.
"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained one [Life Return] skill book!"
The moment he chose to open it, a familiar golden light burst forth from the gaps in the blind box.
"Gold! Hahaha, another gold medal!"
Horn was thrilled; he never expected that he would actually receive another gold medal.
"If I remember correctly, this should be the third time I've withdrawn funds, right?"
"But why are all three of these winning prizes related to the One Piece world? Did we stir up a hole in the One Piece prize pool?"
"But anyway, I made the right bet again! Those 10000 check-in points were well spent!"
He thought happily as he opened the introduction to "Life Return".
[Life Returned]
[Rank: B]
[Function: Infuse consciousness into the entire body, achieving free control over muscles, internal organs, hair, and other parts, enabling rapid energy conversion and optimization of combat form.]
[Learning requirements: All four attributes—Strength, Agility, Spirit, and Physique—must exceed 100 points.]
"There are even learning opportunities?!"
Horn was surprised, but when he thought of those in the pirate world who had undergone rigorous training but still hadn't mastered this ability, he understood.
The power of this skill is undeniable. If the [Naval Six Styles] is more focused on combat enhancement, then [Life Return] is more focused on support enhancement. By eating, it greatly accelerates his stamina recovery speed and improves his combat endurance.
For example, if he had mastered the "Life Return" technique beforehand, he wouldn't have experienced exhaustion as long as he had enough food.
When used in conjunction with the [Naval Rokushiki], they complement each other perfectly!
In short, it can be summed up in three words.
It's incredibly popular!
"It's alright. As long as you drink the [Basic Physique Enhancer] that was just opened, you'll almost meet the requirements."
Horn didn't take it to heart and continued to focus on the intermediate blind box, directly using up his second chance to open it.
Compared to before, this time it seemed much more casual. For him, getting a B-grade item with only two attempts was already considered incredibly lucky, and he didn't expect to get another one.
Unless he's incredibly lucky, that's about it.
"open!"
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a [Space Ring]!"
Under Horn's incredulous gaze, the dazzling golden light shone once more.
"Holy crap? Did my mouth get blessed? Am I really blessed by the God of Luck?"
Horn stared in disbelief at the row of prompts that popped up on the screen.
"No time to lose! Seize the opportunity! It won't wait, open the gates!"
He knew that luck waits for no one, and that if he missed this second, he might not have such good luck again.
Without even glancing at the prizes that had just been drawn, and without even hesitating for half a second, he immediately claimed the only premium blind box and opened it.
The movements were incredibly fluid and graceful!
Of course, all he needed to do was think about it. These actions were entirely in his mind. In his imagination, he held the blind box and quickly opened the lid.
"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained one skill book for [Strike Freedom Gundam Manufacturing Technology]!"
A purple-gold light pierced through the blind box, instantly illuminating the entire mental world and causing Horn's brain to malfunction.
What kind of odds allowed him to draw three gold coins in a row?
He can no longer calculate!
"Haha, I was so wise!"
After recovering from the overwhelming surprise, Horn couldn't help but cheer inwardly.
If he had hesitated for even 0.000000001 seconds, he would have missed this opportunity forever!
"Come on, let me see what your results are."
After calming down, he clicked on their descriptions one by one.
[Space Ring]
[Rank: B]
[Function: Once worn, it completely binds to the wearer's spirit and contains a 100-meter-long, 100-meter-wide, 100-meter-high dimensional folding space for storing non-fixed items.]
[Strike Freedom Gundam Manufacturing Technology]
[Grade: A]
[Purpose: To acquire proficiency in physics, chemistry, biology, nuclear science and technology, materials science, aerospace engineering, weaponry, computer science, biomedical engineering, control engineering, and communications engineering related to the manufacture of the Strike Freedom Gundam in the Gundam world.]
"Holy crap?! A folded-dimensional space with dimensions of 100 meters each? Is this really a B-grade prize?"
"What's with this Gundam manufacturing technology? It involves so many disciplines!"
Horn looked at their descriptions, his heart filled with shock and joy.
The benefits of a spatial ring are self-evident; it's practically a magic weapon for murder and robbery!
It's still a marvel with a super-large space of 100 meters x 100 meters x 100 meters!
With it, not to mention anything else, just take the rescue of Tony as an example, he doesn't have to worry about running out of ammunition at all.
As long as enough ammunition is stored in the space, he is essentially carrying a mobile arsenal with him, and he will never run out of ammunition!
Regarding the issue of rendezvous, if we just put a few armored vehicles inside, is it still necessary to go to a designated location?
After rescuing Tony, they took out an armored vehicle and drove off!
Besides, once he learns [Life Return] and stores enough food in his space, he won't have to worry about stamina consumption anymore!
With just a few examples, Horn has already discovered how practical it is.
"It truly lives up to its reputation as a weapon of mass murder and robbery!"
Horn was amazed.
As for the Strike Freedom Gundam manufacturing technology, it is equally powerful beyond description.
However, the prerequisite is that, just like the [Miniature Arc Reactor] and [Mark Armor Manufacturing Technology], the Gundam must be manufactured first. Even if he learns it now, it will only exist at the knowledge level and cannot bring him any actual improvement in strength.
"Once I've learned them all, I'll study them properly."
Horn had a plan in mind. He planned to find out more about it after he got back, and then decide which step to take first.
After all, he currently has very limited funds, which may not even be enough to meet the needs of manufacturing them.
Putting aside everything else, the first thing is the material, which directly determines their strength. If poor materials are used in the manufacturing process, even if they are produced, they will be industrial waste and will not provide any benefit.
However, if you want to buy good materials, their prices are a given. In addition, energy is also a top priority.
Just then, Rod's voice suddenly came, pulling him back to reality.
"We've arrived."
