This golden treasure chest was intricately carved on the surface, appearing as though it was held in the arms of a giant beast.

At the moment Song Jian’s fingers touched the chest, a crisp “click” sound rang out from within, and the lid of the chest slowly opened, revealing a dazzling golden glow.

He reached in and a long sword, emitting a golden light, appeared before Song Jian.

“Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword (gold), One-handed Sword, Equipment Effect: Attack 50-50, Armor Break +3, Penetration +3, Fire Damage +30, increased attack speed by 10%; Special Effect 1: Owner Recognition (passive), this item absorbs the user’s vital essence to recognize the owner, after the owner is recognized, the item cannot be destroyed or dropped, and never worn down; Special Effect 2: Growth (passive), this item is a growing equipment, starting at level 1, gaining combat experience to level up during combat, the higher the level, the stronger the characteristic of the item, the level of the item cannot surpass the user’s level; Equipment Requirement: Level 1; Set: 1/5. Can be carried out of the game: No”

Seeing these attributes, Song Jian almost trembled with excitement. A gold-quality, growing set weapon would even surpass the sword that had led him to become a Sword Controller, Duan Jian’s weapon!

“Blood recognition, blood recognition, first recognize the owner!” Song Jian muttered to himself as he grabbed the blade with his left hand without hesitation and made a light cut. The fresh blood gushed out and startled him.

“Damn, it’s so sharp, I only just…”

Just as Song Jian was hesitating whether to apply Advanced Healing Potion’ to himself, the gushing blood was completely absorbed by the sword, and the wound on his left hand healed instantly.

The sword in his hand gave him a strange sense of connection, as if it were part of his body, connected to his flesh and blood.

After absorbing the blood, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword suddenly emitted a crimson glow, which then slowly receded, even the golden light indicating the item’s quality was gradually receded into the sword.

The aura receded, concealing the divine item!

Whoosh-

Before Song Jian could react, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword turned into a red light and entered his body. Immediately, he felt as if there was an extra object at his heart. The Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword had transformed into a tiny one-inch sword, floating quietly within his heart. As his heart was pulsating, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword was also slightly vibrating, absorbing Song Jian’s vitality, and emitting some surging energy which spread to every part of his body.

With a thought, he loosened his right hand, and the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword appeared from nowhere, tightly gripped by him. The moment Song Jian let go, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword turned back into a red light and returned into his heart.

“Hahaha!” Song Jian burst out laughing. His goal was to become the only Sword Immortal among the top ten professions. As a Sword Immortal who prioritised offense, how could he be the best without a suitable weapon?

After retrieving the long sword, the golden glow of the treasure chest gradually faded. It seemed the chest only contained one gold-quality item. However, obtaining the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword had already made Song Jian very satisfied.

The golden light began to dim, but the chest did not disappear, clearly there were still other items inside.

Song Jian reached in and pulled out two bottles of Advanced Healing Potion and one bottle of Advanced Spiritual Recovery Potion. These were potions that could be used in battle. Although Song Jian currently possessed an extremely high vitality recovery speed, he would still need these combat recovery potions if he encountered high-explosive monsters.

After he took out the three potions, the treasure chest gradually faded and eventually disappeared.

Song Jian smiled slightly and walked towards the exit of the maze marked on the map.

By evening, Song Jian returned to his villa with the Black Dragon cub. The villa was still bustling, with new buildings continuously rising. Song Jian even noticed some players wandering around his territory, seemingly interested in the items sold in the grocery store.

“Master, you’re back.” The butler George spotted Song Jian and hurriedly ran to him, bowing respectfully and said, “Master, most of the buildings that are possible to construct have been built, but there are still some empty plots. How should we utilize these spaces?”

“Oh, do you have any suggestions, George?” Song Jian asked casually.

“Master, I have three suggestions for you to consider. First, we could transform these lands into farmland. Food storage is crucial to all estates. If all we transform into farmlands, we can harvest a large amount of food each month. At this stage, having an ample food reserve is the best way to attract people. Second, we could build barracks and training fields to cultivate our armed forces. Third, we could rent the lands to those who want to settle down. These people might become your citizens in the future!”

Song Jian pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s start with the farmland. An ample food reserve is vital. Also, when can we expand further? 1 feel our territory is getting a bit cramped!”

“Respected Master, it will be twenty-five days and seventeen hours until the next expansion campaign can be launched,” Butler George replied.

“Good, remember to remind me in time!” Song Jian nodded and said.

At the Urban Waste Collection Center, by the side of a nearby highway.

A level-five zombie was wandering aimlessly under the shade of the trees along the road, occasionally letting out a deep growl. Just then, a humming sound underlying the zombie’s surroundings, the space started to ripple, just like water.

Hearing the noise, the zombie subconsciously turned towards the source, a light blue portal with a diameter of two meters began to gather energy around it.

The energies in space around the portal started to fluctuate. The zombie had only taken two steps when the strong forces tore it into dust.

Soon, the energies around the light blue portal began to stabilize, and a muscular man in full chain mail, with a shield on his back, walked out of the portal.

The moment he steps out of the portal, the muscular man quickly makes room for a man in leather armor with two daggers at his waist, his face covered by a red triangular cloth.

As soon as this man appeared, he too quickly made way for the third person to step out of the portal.

Then came the fourth man, who collapsed to the ground as soon as he appeared, vomiting blood profusely.

The first man who came out furrowed his brow, grabbed the fourth man by the collar, and dragged him aside.

The first three men, who came out first, didn’t pay any heed to their comrade still vomiting blood. Their eyes stayed on the portal as if they were waiting for something.

After some time, an arm, tattooed all over, was flung out by an invisible force from the portal. The light blue portal began to become unstable, ripples vigorously fluctuating around it.

Thud-

The spatial energies dispersed, the portal disappeared, leaving only a twitching arm in its place.
