Chapter 377: The King’s Treasury! The Dragon-Patterned Spirit Fruit!

TL: YYang

Chen Bai sat in his room.

At this moment, his entire palm had transformed into pure gold, dazzling and extremely striking.

The smooth operation of the factory allowed Chen Bai to finally let out a deep breath of relief.

At the same time, he no longer had any concerns about the influx of gold coins into his account.

This White Emperor City of his would become a golden tree, endlessly providing him with wealth.

This was the main reason why he had poured so much effort into building the first evolver settlement city.

Now, with this support in place, Chen Bai could finally attempt another ability of the Golden Hand.

The Authority of Greed was far more than the abilities already displayed by the Golden Hand. However, after being digitized in the God and Devil Trial Grounds, the abilities he could grasp were limited to what had been shown.

Aside from Goldfinger (turning objects into gold), purchasing attributes with coins, and the lottery, the Golden Hand had another crucial ability.

This ability was the King’s Treasury!

Previously, the Authority of Greed’s manifestation in the Path of Life and Death in Hell had demonstrated its power beyond doubt.

Almost every demon entering the path in Hell could gain benefits and trials from it.

The sheer number of treasures provided there was nothing short of astonishing.

However, there had always been significant limitations preventing Chen Bai from entering it.

In the Path of Life and Death in Hell, demons who passed the trial could indeed acquire numerous treasures.

But what about those who failed?

Those who failed would have their souls, bodies, and all their possessions absorbed into the Path of Life and Death in Hell.

This was the essence of the Authority of Greed!

If you wanted treasures from Greed, you needed both the strength and the resolve to face death!

Otherwise, you would be devoured by Greed.

Thus, entering the Path of Life and Death in Hell didn’t require any kind of admission fee.

After all, it was a gamble with one’s life. This was why the Path of Life and Death in Hell had stood tall in the depths of Hell.

There was no denying that the manifestation of Greed’s authority as the Path of Life and Death in Hell was extraordinary. Chen Bai even considered placing it in the Abyss once he fully mastered Greed.

At that time, the Authority of Greed would grow even stronger.

For now, however, without a steady income, he, the so-called Master of Greed, still couldn’t access the treasures within the treasury without restrictions.

The most frustrating limitation was that every entry cost a whopping 10,000 gold coins, and it still required passing a trial.

While there was no risk of death, the expense was still astronomical.

10,000 gold coins—an exorbitant amount. In the current God and Devil Trial Grounds, how many people could even gather such a sum?

And those 10,000 gold coins were merely the admission price.

It was obvious why Chen Bai had avoided entering before. If his gold coins ran out and disrupted Greed’s daily attribute gains, the loss would have been devastating!

Now, he finally had the capital!

10,000 gold coins disappeared like flowing water.

Chen Bai found himself once again standing before that mysterious space.

The three paths appeared before him once more.

This time, however, Chen Bai didn’t pay any attention to the Path of Heaven or the Path of Eternity. He went straight to the Path of Gold.

“Esteemed Master, Great Overlord, welcome to your treasury! Within the Path of Gold lies a collection of treasures with immense value and utility for evolvers. What type of treasure would you like?”

Satan’s voice resounded once more. However, the mark of his true form resided in the Hell King’s Ring, not here.

The voice in this space was merely an imprint left by Greed, without thought or intelligence—more akin to the Abyssal Will.

Chen Bai raised an eyebrow. “Anything is fine.”

This time, he was merely testing out what treasures lay within the Golden Hand’s King’s Treasury.

He had no urgent needs at the moment.

Skills? Equipment? Or anything else? He truly had no pressing desires.

Now, he understood what Satan had once said: for the master of the King’s Treasury, its value was relatively limited.

Ordinary things didn’t catch his eye, and the treasury couldn’t produce anything extraordinary enough to satisfy him.

Shrugging, Chen Bai genuinely didn’t know what he wanted!

Soon, Satan’s voice sounded again beside his ear:

“Very well. Esteemed Master, please prepare for the trial! The trial begins now!”

The dark world around him began to shift.

Then, a figure appeared before Chen Bai—a giant dragon.

Its body, over twenty meters long, was covered in layers of white scales, exuding a chilling frost.

However, the dragon’s size wasn’t particularly large. Such a dragon should be considered in its adolescent stage, not yet fully mature.

Still, there was no doubt that any mature dragon was at least level 60-70.

The power of dragons was renowned across all realms!

This ridiculous trial wanted him to defeat an adolescent dragon!?

Chen Bai’s eyelid twitched rapidly. Even with his current strength, he wasn’t confident he could handle such a creature!

Yet, reality proved he had overthought it.

Satan’s voice reappeared.

[Trial Content: Please name the species of the creature before you to pass the trial.]

“?????”

Chen Bai blinked at the trial. Then, he tentatively opened his mouth:

“Dragon? White Dragon? Or Ice Dragon?”

[Trial passed. Challenger receives reward: Dragon-Patterned Spirit Fruit (S-Rank)!]

“….”

As the fruit descended from the sky, Chen Bai found himself back on his sofa in his hall, staring blankly at the item in his hand. He couldn’t believe it. Was this trial rigged to be ridiculously easy?

Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Bai inspected the item in his hand.

It was a fruit about the size of a fist, somewhat resembling an apple.

However, its surface was etched with intricate dragon patterns.

[Dragon-Patterned Spirit Fruit (S-Rank)]

[Item—Consumable]

[Upon consumption, grants 1 million to 5 million experience points and a random dragon-related skill.]

Huh?! This thing was amazing!
