Dark Gold Treasure Box, Li Yao’s breath hitched.

Having played the game for so long, he had only obtained a Gold Treasure Box from a special secret realm, and yet, it didn’t yield any true Gold Equipment.

Even in maps with sparse human activity, finding a treasure box was no easy feat. The number of players was simply too large, coupled with thieves who survived solely by luck when opening treasure boxes.

It’s extremely difficult for an ordinary player to find a treasure box. Finding a good treasure box was even harder.

And now, here sat a Dark Gold Treasure Box in front of him. How could he not get excited? After all, a Dark Gold Treasure Box guaranteed a piece of Gold Equipment.

Even he hadn’t seen Gold Equipment until now.

Li Yao intended to open the box, but thinking about the miserly trade viscount who might return at any moment, he instantly stashed the box away.

Li Yao glanced around again, spotting another box. This one was no treasure box, but upon opening it, he immediately smelt a faint aroma of wine.

“Good wine, Winter Springs Liquor, this guy sure knew how to enjoy life.”

Li Yao unceremoniously stashed away the box of valuable wine into his backpack. At this stage, players simply couldn’t buy this type of wine.

This wasn’t just fine wine. It was a super magical wine that could enhance strength and attack. This wine once skyrocketed in price to 500 Gold Coins.

At that time, Li Yao had to hustle for a long, long time in order to afford a single bottle.

And here was an entire box of it, fifteen bottles to be precise. Evidently, the viscount had already consumed one bottle.

Li Yao didn’t find it strange. Winter Springs Liquor was a goblin product. Drinking it at certain times could compensate for their lack of strength.

Li Yao spotted some books on the table and without any hesitation, took away several precious books such as the Goblin Engineering Essentials, Outline of Goblin Engineering, and History of Goblin Engineering.

At present, these books could only slightly increase an ordinary player’s proficiency. But for him, they could enable him to create some items that he couldn’t before.

Only then did Li Yao enter the trade viscount’s Engineering Laboratory.

Once inside, he didn’t hold back, stuffing all the machine tools and engineering stations into his Mechanical Space.

Then came some intricate engineering tools that current players simply couldn’t obtain.

The Engineering Laboratory suddenly cleared out, leaving behind only the low-value tools still available in the current stage.

“I’ve struck gold this time. Having a Mechanical Space is just splendid.”

It couldn’t be less splendid, these things wouldn’t fit into his backpack. Normally, they could only be transported using vehicles captured from cities. His Mechanical Space was practically a mini warehouse.

It was too difficult for adventurers to obtain these things. Only the heads of guilds had the authority to buy some tools and set up laboratories.

But compared to the grand setup the loaded trade viscount had, the gap was huge. The precision of the items he created could decide their quality.

If it weren’t for the limited space, Li Yao would loot everything. That way, he could set up his own Engineering Laboratory. Compared to that, the one in the mine was too outdated.

Only then did Li Yao start looking through the bookshelf. As expected, there were some blueprints for producing items. However, they were mostly general engineering type items, mostly public utilities.

The most valuable findings were two kinds. One kind was the blueprint for the Death God 4000 type Mechanical Puppet that Li Yao was looking for. The other kind was a sketch for a cannon.

Although it was the simplest kind with the smallest firepower, and although Li Yao didn’t have the materials or ability to create it yet, he was already very satisfied with this loot. Cannons were truly war weapons. Even in its era, the cannon’s power isn’t high, but when placed on city walls, it can one-shot a player, exerting a strong deterrent force.

After scanning the room, the materials had completely filled up the Mechanical Space and Li Yao still couldn’t help wanting more.

He wished he could take the whole house with him. After all, there were still many valuable things in it, and the Mechanical Space couldn’t accommodate all of them.

“Damn, I remember a place that drops Spatial Equipment. Too bad my level isn’t high enough to get it.”

Regretfully, Li Yao activated his Dark Ranger passive and walked towards the entrance of the elevator, recalling the arrangement of the first floor’s hall, then simulating how to get out in his mind.

Li Yao directly jumped down. When he was about two meters from the elevator, he immediately did a Shadow Roll, drifting out of the elevator room.

At this moment, Li Yao’s body was already in the first floor’s hall, frozen in a scene where Li Yao hovered a meter off the ground, with two goblin leaders absentmindedly drinking wine four to five meters away.

From their frequent glances outward, it was obvious they were very interested in the situation outside, while at the doorway there were a dozen goblins.

When Li Yao stopped his Shadow Roll, his back was exactly facing the hall’s doorway.

Back jump!

The body that had just prepared to descend suddenly flew off again.

The two leaders slightly sensed the fluctuation of airflow, and simultaneously looked at the room.

However, right now, Li Yao had already left the first-floor hall. When the back jump stopped, he immediately executed another continuous Shadow Roll.

By the time Li Yao landed, he had already reached a spot ten-plus meters from the goblins. He then departed without a backwards glance.

After a while, the fuming viscount returned feeling deceived. Those adventurers numbered just over a hundred and were hardly worth a mention to him.

Though a few dozen had escaped, he didn’t care in the slightest.

He anxiously went to the second floor, instantly feeling something was wrong. First, he looked towards his safe, which was perfectly intact and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he saw that his Engineering Laboratory had been emptied. He promptly scurried under his bed. He abruptly let out a deafening roar of rage.

“Ah, damn thief, my life’s work! How am I supposed to live now?”

His voice was extremely mournful, causing his attendants to rush up via the elevator.

“Boss, what’s the matter?” a goblin leader asked amidst burps from drinking.

“What’s the matter? I want to ask you what the hell happened. Where are the experimental machines that I spent a fortune on? Where are my Dark Gold Treasure Box, my precious blueprints, my beloved Winter Springs Liquor? Poor thing, I only allow myself a small sip each day, just a tiny sip, yet the damn thief took a whole box from me. I’ve lost all my life’s work, so you tell me, what’s the matter, huh?”

The pitch of the goblin’s voice was naturally sharp. Now, his tone was even more out of tune. He was spraying spit all over the two leaders’ faces.

However, the two leaders didn’t even dare to breathe.

“Still standing there, go find it. The damned thief can’t have gone far. Go find him. If you can’t find my life’s work, none of you useless bums will collect a single copper coin in wages from me,” the Trade Viscount roared.

“Damn thief, he dared to threaten my adorable copper coins. I’ll fight him to the death.”

The two goblin leaders yelped and jumped down the elevator. They started leading the people madly searching for the thief. The recently quiet camp instantly began to bubble with activity again.

For goblins, as long as the price is right, they would even sell their own mothers. Not getting their wages was even worse for them than death.

Meanwhile, Li Yao was already preparing for a guild mission. This time, he was going to make it big…

PS: Well, I guess if I don’t ask I won’t get anything, so let me ask for some monthly passes, subscriptions, and recommendation votes. Thank you in the name of Mario.
