Chapter 69: Opening Three Blind Boxes
====
1. Finely Woven Straw Mat (Green, Enhance +1)
2. Electronic Wind Chime (Green, Enhance +2)
3. Exquisite Cutlery Set (Green, Enhance +3)
4. Chaos Egg (Green, Enhance +4)
====
"That’s it? All Green quality?"
Wang Yi raised an eyebrow. Though slightly disappointed, he decisively chose the Chaos Egg.
As soon as the Chaos Egg appeared, Wang Yi saw its Attribute Information.
[Chaos Egg +4: Green quality. Consumes 100 Chaos Energy to hatch a Military Governor who will serve you with utmost dedication until death. The Military Governor possesses certain territory management rights. This Military Governor is physically weak but loyal and will have one skill.]
’A Military Governor, with certain territory management rights?’
Curious, Wang Yi immediately hatched the Chaos Egg before him. A golden light flashed, and a young man dressed as a scholar appeared in front of him.
His face was a little pale. He gave a light cough, then hurriedly clasped his hands, bowed to Wang Yi, and said, "Nangong Jin, at your service, my Lord!"
"No need for such formalities!"
Wang Yi helped Nangong Jin up. This was a subordinate who would serve loyally until his last breath, but it was a shame he was so frail.
====
Name: Nangong Jin
Occupation: Military Governor
Skill: [Barracks Recruitment] +4. Nangong Jin has the special privilege of recruitment and can recruit soldiers through the territory’s barracks. After Enhance +4, he gains a recruitment critical effect, obtaining 4x the troops with each recruitment.
Note 1: The Lord Player needs to provide Nangong Jin with recruitment resources. [Click here to operate]. Recruitment resources include but are not limited to Gold Coins, Chaos Energy, wood, etc. Please explore for specific details.
Note 2: All Military Governors have an exclusive Storage Realm that can only be used to store recruitment resources.
Description: Nangong Jin is well-read in the arts of war, loyal, kind, and benevolent. His motto is to serve with utmost dedication until death. He aspired to become a famous general, but unfortunately, he is frail and sickly. Lacking proficiency in Martial Arts, he instead possesses a unique Talent that allowed him to become a Military Governor, capable of managing the barracks for the Lord he serves.
====
Wang Yi saw Nangong Jin’s character information and used the Talent Assessment Machine on him. The assessment result was two words: "Exceptional Talent"!
’Born with an official title and can recruit four times the troops... he really can be considered an exceptional talent. Too bad my territory doesn’t have a barracks yet...’
After a moment’s thought, Wang Yi had Nangong Jin wait outside while he went back to opening blind boxes.
Next up were the Purple Blind Boxes.
"You’re the first Purple Blind Box this Lord is opening. C’mon, give me something good!"
Wang Yi solemnly bowed three times to a Purple Blind Box, then opened it with great anticipation.
====
DING! One Box, Many Openings Talent activated. The current Chaos Blind Box opening will now calculate 3 results for you.
DING! Box Opening Enhancement Talent activated. Items will be enhanced.
1. Super-Long Overnight Maxi Pad (Purple, Enhance +1)
2. Rat Poison (Purple, Enhance +2)
3. Construction Drawings for an Octagonal Cage (Blue, Enhance +3)
====
"Damn it, I knew I shouldn’t have bowed to you! It’s a Purple item, and you give me a maxi pad and rat poison? Son of a bitch, are you messing with me?"
The corner of Wang Yi’s mouth twitched. He silently chose the [Construction Drawings for an Octagonal Cage].
[Construction Drawings for an Octagonal Cage +3: Consume 300 Chaos Energy to use these drawings and construct the barracks building, Octagonal Cage +3, in your territory.]
’An Octagonal Cage is a barracks building? That’s not bad. Why didn’t it give me a barracks preview?’
Wang Yi felt his luck wasn’t all that bad. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself, bowed nine times to the second Purple Blind Box, and then opened it with a heart as still as water.
====
DING! One Box, Many Openings Talent activated. The current Chaos Blind Box opening will now calculate 9 results for you.
DING! Box Opening Enhancement Talent activated. Items will be enhanced.
1. Bedtime Storybook (Blue, Enhance +1)
2. Large Electronic Temple Block (Blue, Enhance +2)

4. Bad Student’s Pencil Case (Purple, Enhance +4)
5. Sharp Scalpel (Blue, Enhance +5)
6. Punching Power Machine (Blue, Enhance +6)
7. Amphibious Electric Hovercraft (Blue, Enhance +7)
8. Energy Lighthouse (Purple, Enhance +8)
9. Potato Mine (Blue, Enhance +9)
====
Wang Yi’s spirits soared.
’Damn, bowing nine times really worked! This haul is amazing!’
’A Bad Student’s Pencil Case... this couldn’t be a concept item, could it?’
’An amphibious hovercraft, nice! With Enhance +7, could it possibly be enhanced into an aircraft carrier? Or maybe a super land-sea-air warship?’
’Energy Lighthouse, Purple quality. Is it a building? Enhance +8... this seems like a pretty good choice!’
’A Potato Mine, Enhance +9... this thing will definitely be powerful after being enhanced...’
Wang Yi rubbed his chin, pondering carefully for a moment before finally choosing the Purple, Enhance +8 [Energy Lighthouse].
The next moment, the Energy Lighthouse didn’t appear before him. Instead, a system notification sounded.
"DING! A new special building, the Energy Lighthouse, has been added to the territory and automatically installed in the sky above it!"
Along with the system notification, an information panel popped up in front of Wang Yi.
====
Name: Energy Lighthouse +8
Energy Reserve: 10%
Description: The Energy Lighthouse is a special energy device that floats in the sky above the territory. Equipped with an infinite energy device and a wireless transmission module, it can continuously generate electrical energy and supply it to territory applications.
Ability 1: [Sky Power Station] +5.
The Energy Lighthouse’s hovering altitude has been increased from 6,000 meters to 24,000 meters.
The energy generation device is enhanced. Daily energy output is approximately 600 million kWh, and the maximum electrical energy storage is doubled to approximately 60 billion kWh.
Ability 2: [Lighting Lighthouse]. The Energy Lighthouse can consume energy to simulate sunlight or moonlight for large-scale illumination.
Ability 3: [Wireless Charging] +3.
The Energy Lighthouse’s wireless charging transmission distance has been increased from 100 kilometers to 800 kilometers. This means that within an 800-kilometer radius, all powered equipment can connect to the Energy Lighthouse for wireless charging.
Provides electrical energy conversion. The Energy Lighthouse’s electricity can be converted into other forms of energy and transmitted. The conversion efficiency is variable. Currently convertible to: light energy, magnetic energy, bio-energy, Divine Power, Magic Power, Spiritual Power, Immortal Power, etc.
Note 1: The Energy Lighthouse undergoes automatic maintenance, requiring an annual maintenance fee of 2190 Gold Coins. Failure to pay the maintenance fee on time will result in a permanent reduction of the Energy Lighthouse’s effectiveness. [Maintenance Fee Payment Countdown: 365 days. Click here to pay].
Note 2: Routine operations for the Energy Lighthouse can be performed through this information panel, including raising/lowering the lighthouse, moving the lighthouse, toggling illumination, banning accounts, cutting off transmission, paying maintenance fees, etc. Please explore for specific details.
Note 3: List of connected powered devices or facilities: Profound Iron Heavy Armor - Prototype [Click to operate].
====
"Holy shit, what is this thing?"
Wang Yi carefully read the Energy Lighthouse’s Attribute Information all over again.
He felt this thing was truly black technology!
As Wang Yi understood it, the Energy Lighthouse was like a giant Wi-Fi tower. All powered facilities and energy devices within 800 kilometers could automatically connect to its signal. Having a signal meant having data, except this "data" was electrical energy!
And to use this "data," you had to pay a "data" fee!
’If something like this existed in the real world, you could just put one over a city. Cars wouldn’t need gas stations or charging stations anymore. Just pay the data fee and drive wherever you want! Streetlights wouldn’t need any wiring either... No, wait. If it can simulate daylight, who needs streetlights? You could just turn night into day!’
For a moment, Wang Yi’s imagination ran wild.
’This power output is insane—600 million kWh per day! On Earth Star, the Three Heroes Power Station, which was said to be able to light up half of Hua Country, only had a maximum daily output of around 500-something million kWh under ideal, full-load conditions. This Lighting Lighthouse is even more badass than the Three Heroes! And the key is that it’s automatic generation. What kind of technology is this?’
Wang Yi thought it was exhilarating, but what excited him even more was that Prototype No. 1 had already connected to the Energy Lighthouse.
This meant that Prototype No. 1 was no longer just a private sleeping chamber. It could be charged. It could move.
Wang Yi felt like he had leaped from the Stone Age straight into a sci-fi future. It was so damn ridiculous, so damn exciting!
