Chapter 1170 621: Platinum-level Flame Demon Treasure Chest

Thought about the development of territory technology.

Zong Shen put away the books, preparing to return to the Lord's Fortress.

At this time, a not-so-obvious running sound came from outside the gate of the city tower.

The Sentinel Black Panther, carrying Luna, entered the gate of the city tower.

"Luna!"

Zong Shen waved his hand, and at this moment, Luna also noticed Zong Shen standing by the city tower.

The Sentinel Black Panther under her was smart, turning around and running over without needing more commands.

Luna agilely dismounted.

"My Lord, I've brought the Flame Demon Key and the Beast Egg."

"Gujate is helping coordinate the warriors received from the unclaimed territory."

She saluted with her hand on her chest, speaking concisely.

Then she took out a small pile of keys from the storage grid and placed them on the ground in front of her.

Besides the keys, the [Unknown Beast Egg (Unknown)] was also taken out.

Zong Shen showed a warm smile to Luna.

He reached out and brushed over the pile of Flame Demon Keys and the Egg.

Just this small pile of keys occupied three storage grids.

The quantity reached as many as 2,272 pieces!

Some of these Flame Demon Keys came from the temporary combat team.

And some were brought back by Gujate with the Beast Egg.

The number of keys here has already exceeded the requirement to exchange for a Platinum Treasure Chest.

The remaining can be chosen to be exchanged for points.

One key can exchange for 20 points, which accumulates to a considerable amount.

Zong Shen had already tried; the Flame Demon Keys cannot be sold or transferred to other Lords.

Otherwise, selling the excess keys at a value exceeding 20 points each would be a good choice.

But this path has already been blocked by the Lord System.

It's best to honestly exchange for treasure chest keys and points.

After Zong Shen finished collecting the keys, Luna bowed in salute again.

"My Lord, then I shall return to the living area."

"The statistics work for the soldiers and farmers is expected to be completed in another three to four hours."

"There isn't enough stone housing in the living area now."

"Tonight most people will probably have to camp in the open."

Luna informed him about the population reception situation in the living area,

but Zong Shen planned to postpone expanding the living area for a while.

He even considered demolishing some less useful buildings.

After all, the territory destruction rate would also count towards challenge scoring.

Of course, those miscellaneous buildings might not be the focus of attacks.

To those attacking monsters, Zong Shen and the central stone pillar were their primary targets.

"Luna, in a while, use the Communication Crystal to contact Marie, and tell her not to rush with building more stone houses."

"All constructions apart from defense buildings shall await my notification."

Zong Shen instructed Luna after some thought.

Luna nodded and saluted again with her hand on her chest.

"Yes, my Lord, I shall depart now."

After Zong Shen nodded in approval, Luna leaped onto the back of the Sentinel Black Panther.

Luna left the Lord's Fortress briskly, unwittingly becoming a model hero.

Zong Shen opened the points balance, which now showed 469,239 points.

He immediately knew what to do, took out the previous Flame Demon Treasure Chest, and started to exchange treasures.

Directly exchanged for a Platinum Treasure Chest Key worth 1,250 Flame Demon Keys.

After exchanging, he had 1,022 Flame Demon Keys left.

Zong Shen decided to convert them into points, gaining another 20,440 points.

His points balance finally reached 489,679 points!

Approaching the 500,000 mark, these points he could exchange freely.

But before making any point exchanges, it was time for his first-ever Platinum Treasure Chest opening!

This was Zong Shen's first time opening a Platinum-tier treasure chest.

It was equivalent to a Tier Six chest, guaranteeing at least a Golden Epic Level item!

To say he wasn't excited would be a lie.

"Open it, just open it!"

Zong Shen held the Platinum Key he had exchanged for.

The texture of this key was bright silver, looking very shiny.

The Flame Demon Treasure Chest didn't show any change.

What it could yield was entirely determined by the key used to open it.

Zong Shen inserted the Platinum Treasure Chest Key into the keyhole, gently turned it half a circle, and a crisp locking sound was heard.

"Click!"

With a sound, the chest lid slowly opened,

Platinum light shimmered, and seven light balls emerged one after another.

Zong Shen glanced over the light balls' colors, instantly knowing, and reached out to collect all the light balls.

With the opening of the treasure chest, corresponding box-opening notifications appeared.

[Successfully opened Platinum-level Flame Demon Treasure Chest]

[Elemental Secret Research Tower (Golden) ×1]

[Tier Five Two-headed Ogre Warrior Recruitment Scroll ×3]

[Heart of Civil Officer (Orange) ×1]

[Magic Hat (Purple) ×1]

[Tier Two Territory Technology Research Institute Construction Blueprint ×1]

[Tier Two Quicksand Trap Manufacturing Map ×1]

[Fiber Bread (White) ×1]

Aside from the last bread, the rest of these seven items held considerable value.

Besides the guaranteed Epic Level items, there were also three Tier Five Recruitment Scrolls and an Orange-grade legendary jewelry item.

Zong Shen closed the lid of the empty treasure chest and sat down on it.

He began to examine them one by one.

First, the construction blueprint of Golden grade.

The appearance was nothing to speak of; all blueprints produced by the Lord System had the same sheepskin scroll look.

Zong Shen squinted his eyes, focusing his attention on the blueprint's detailed attributes.
