Chapter 7 What's with the three wheels?
Chapter 7 What's with the three wheels?
It can actually connect to the player forum?
Fang Qi immediately perked up.
Even if it's not the full version of the forum, it's already pretty good that you can only see posts related to yourself for now.
Even treasure chest monsters need social interaction!
He is not from this world after all; in fact, he is a hidden leader that everyone wants to defeat.
Aside from being able to chat with someone like Rose who's a bit dim-witted, I really have nothing to say to other locals.
The players from his hometown actually suited his taste better.
I clicked on the post with great interest, and what greeted my eyes was a picture that perfectly captured the essence of the post.
You can barely make out a slightly irregularly shaped treasure chest and four humanoid creatures in the room.
The act of spitting... spitting out the wooden board and Du Ge's disgusted expression were very vivid.

With a thought, I turned the page.
"Guys, I just finished a dungeon run with my buddies, and guess what? I just touched it, and it spat at me!"
Someone replied below.
"The one you encountered was pretty good-natured. Wasn't this a level 5 mimic? I just touched it, and it immediately stood up and swallowed me whole! That feeling..."
"What's it like? I want to try it too! But it seems like there's no mimic in that secret room anymore, it's just a regular treasure chest."
"Indeed, when I went to seek revenge, I didn't find any monsters; I only managed to get a few potions that increased damage."
"What treasure chest monster? Isn't it the Mysterious Merchant? It doesn't attack people and you can trade for things. Shared item: Unstable Alchemy Potion."
"Great stuff! How powerful is it?"
"One word: Fierce! A level 10 wilderness boss, one bottle and it's already low on health!"
"Holy crap! There's even an Easter egg like this? A hidden merchant in the mimic monsters, the developers are so cunning..."
"Even the planners didn't expect me to be such a variable!" Fang Qi laughed as he read, his skull thumping loudly.
These players are so kind; they've already imagined the "box design" of the mysterious merchant.
It seems that the strategy of holding back and not fighting back was the right one. When dealing with the "Fourth Calamity", you absolutely cannot reveal your health bar!
otherwise……
Let alone Fang Qi being just a hidden boss of a treasure chest monster, it's estimated that the "god" that the fishmen are about to summon will also not escape the players' clutches!
The replies following the post were mostly people asking where they were or chatting about the plot.
Fang Qi was temporarily unable to post or reply, so after browsing through the forum again, he simply closed it.
After eating, Rose felt sleepy and was now dozing off against the wall.
The mage's hat had somehow gotten askew, revealing a small, pointed, pure white corner.
It doesn't look like it's fully developed.
That makes sense; dragon girls, after all, definitely have a longer lifespan than ordinary humans.
When Luo Xi calms down, she looks quite good, which fits Fang Qi's aesthetic of Eastern fantasy.
If this were in his previous life, he would definitely have thought it was some kind of genius cosplayer and would have tried every means to get their contact information.
But right now, he's a mimic, and eating his fill and leveling up is his top priority.
After enjoying this rare moment of peace, Fang Qi turned his attention to the trading terminal.
Asset Index: 267 points
I earned 203 points from the players, plus the 100 points from the first order bonus, and after deducting the two dishes Rosie ate, the two gold coins she hid, and the 14 points spent on the withdrawal...
It is indeed 267 points.
Is there such a good thing?
The trading terminal doesn't charge a service fee!
Fang Qi was shocked.
The player's level is low now, and they don't have much wealth, so it's hard to tell anything.
Once players have more good items, waiving service fees will save them a lot of money.
But... how should we spend this money?
How about we try extracting one term?
He decided to put it aside for now.
The reason is simple: a plus sign appeared on the game character panel.
[Level: 9 (+)]
Once the mind touches the plus sign, information from the trading terminal is received.
[Advancing requires 200 index points. Confirm?]
Fang Qi was a bit conflicted. Both of them were new features he had never seen before. Which one should he choose?
With 200 points, you can choose either "Selective Crisis Shielding" or "Absolute Confidence for Next Time" and temporarily extract it as a product.
If you find the right target and market to them, you can definitely make a fortune.
Needless to say, the advanced version will definitely improve both hardness and size in every aspect.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to upgrade.
On the one hand, although the "box design" has been initially established, no matter how it is packaged, it is still a hidden monster.
That's quite dangerous.
On the other hand, he had some reservations about the word "temporary".
He's only level 9 now, so he doesn't have much ability to act alone and can only wait in one place.
The probability of finding a suitable buyer is almost like finding a needle in a haystack.
The entries are great, but the problem is, who will buy them? We can't exactly sell them to Captain Morning, can we?
That's not appropriate.
It's better to improve yourself and gain the ability to protect yourself and act as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, Fang Qi's mind stirred: "Confirm advancement."
The index decreased by 200 points. At the same time, the level column on the character interface suddenly became blurry, and the numbers kept jumping.
A moment later, a system notification appeared:
[Level Up: 9 → 10, Advancement Complete.]
Fang Qi felt that he had become much stronger and had more energy.
Even the stomach space has increased by almost half the length of Rosie.
The advanced technology is indeed very effective; those 200 points were well spent!
However, the changes are not over yet.
After the level numbers stopped jumping, the talent "Mimicry" also began to blur, seemingly showing signs of evolution.
Fang Qi immediately became expectant, silently muttering, "Give me some mobility..."
Seemingly sensing his thoughts, the text quickly changed and was completed:
[The talent "Mimicry" has been upgraded. Currently, the item that can be simulated is: a moving wooden treasure chest.]
"A moving wooden treasure chest? What's that?"
Fang Qi was a little confused. Wasn't he supposed to be able to move by nature?
Not only can it open and close its skull, but it can also dance on the spot...
Thinking about it won't help; let's give it a try.
Bang! The talent activated, and the smoke dissipated.
A treasure chest that looked almost exactly like the one from before appeared on the spot.
The only difference is...
"What the hell?!"
Fang Qigang thought he would twist it to see if there was any difference, and his whole body slid uncontrollably to the left and forward.
It slammed against the shelf with a "thud".
The bottles and jars on top fell all over him.
But he couldn't care less about these trivial matters; at this moment, he was both amused and exasperated.
The good news is: it can actually move now! The simulated treasure chest has grown wheels, so he can now explore the map on his own!
The bad news is: one growth on the left and two on the right, so it's not quite balanced...
Huh? Fang Qi suddenly had a good idea.
It does look unbalanced from left to right, but what about from front to back?
Didn't the tricycles in my past life look like this?
I tried moving it left and right, and to my surprise, it actually stabilized and turned quite nimbly.
He became interested and controlled the box to swing left and right, simulating a road test.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and it seemed that the mechanism outside the door had been activated.
Someone's coming!
Fang Qi paused for half a second, then quickly drifted back to his original position, retracted the three wheels into the box, and sat motionless on the ground.
Eavesdropping mode activated!
