Chapter 177: Soul Equipment That Requires an Unsealing Quest in Reality
The Reins of the Primal Wyvern became Cheng Mouren's second legendary golden item.
However, the two golden items in Cheng Tian's possession—one that could only be strengthened by collecting gem shards, and another that couldn't be strengthened at all—meant that the money in Cheng Tian's pocket could only lie there quietly.
The newborn Primal Wyvern was very excited, carrying Cheng Tian in an endless flight, with no intention of letting its "dear father" down.
Because Cheng Tian chose a combat mount, the wyvern appeared directly in its adult form. Although Heaven's Chosen Space had instilled it with the necessary basic knowledge so that it wouldn't truly act like a newborn dragon, in terms of personality, it was probably more innocent and reckless than the Mammoth War Elephant.
Seeing that it really didn't want to let go, Cheng Tian directly reached out and scratched its lower abdomen twice with great force. While feeling a texture like scratching a stone wall, the Primal Wyvern uncontrollably twitched, followed by a powerful shake, and Cheng Tian was sent flying out again.
The little guy couldn't stand being scratched and immediately threw Cheng Tian like a rockslide projectile.
But it didn't matter; even if Cheng Tian didn't use a superhero landing to negate the fall damage, he wouldn't be Fall to death in his personal space.
Seeing the big little guy come to grab him again, Cheng Tian decisively transferred the vigorously drinking Mammoth War Elephant and the drowsy Scarlet Tyrannosaurus Rex in front of him, entrusting them with the task of confronting this newborn wyvern. (There are no rule restrictions in a personal space, so mounts can be kept freely).
What was that saying again... the fastest speed in the world is the unintentional swipe of a baby's tiny paw. The Primal Wyvern perfectly exemplified this saying. Facing two seniors of different species, the wyvern, whose attention had shifted from its dear father, not only didn't cower but grabbed with even more vigor.
However, without food in its belly, it quickly grew hungry and then instinctively flew towards the lakeside area.
Its behavior of taking advantage and then fleeing clearly "provoked" the Mammoth War Elephant, so this fellow also rumbled over, started vigorously sucking up water with its trunk, and began remote water bullet attacks like an electric water gun, interfering with the Primal Wyvern's hunting activities.
The Scarlet Tyrannosaurus Rex snorted at the sight, ultimately choosing to lie down directly, curling into a ball to continue sleeping.
Cheng Tian's ancient creature zoo wasn't just home to these three large creatures; various wild animals existing as live bait were also abundant, as Cheng Tian's feeding fees weren't paid for nothing; they were all included.
In terms of food, although the Primal Wyvern had evolved mouthparts capable of tearing large prey, their true purpose was for digging soil and gnawing on minerals. It still preferred fish, with a hunting method somewhat similar to a seagull, gliding over the water's surface like a glider, seizing the opportunity to snatch fish from the water, or directly intercepting leaping fish in mid-air.
However, it had just been playing with someone's scalp, so now it couldn't blame others for interfering with its hunting with water bullet trunk-guns. The Primal Wyvern was not to be outdone, directly throwing the fish it caught at the Mammoth in the form of a rockslide.
The Mammoth, being indiscriminate, directly intercepted the fish in mid-air with its trunk and then immediately stuffed it into its mouth.
Now it was the wyvern's turn to get angry.
"Don't play with food..."
Cheng Tian raised his hand, then ultimately lowered it.
In disputes between these large creatures, his small arms and legs shouldn't interfere, lest he trigger the Primordial Shell.
It was a good thing he had 6 item slots, 3 garages, and 2 pockets, otherwise, he really couldn't fit these space-consuming big guys.
After spending a little more time cultivating their bond and explaining some things to Utan, Cheng Tian decisively logged out.
Because he had some things to do in the real world.
After killing the Amphibious Blazefire Dragon earlier, a treasure chest naturally dropped. However, perhaps because this guy died too comically, the so-called BOSS battle barely showed any combat power, and the treasure chest that dropped was only a silver chest with spade and diamond markings.
Moreover, since it wasn't a true main storyline BOSS, the contents of the chest weren't shared by every player. It only dropped one item... a dragon scale breastplate classified as "Soul Equipment."
[Blazefire Dragon Scale Armor: Unknown / Lv1, Breastplate, Soul Equipment, Unsealed.
A special breastplate equipment dropped by the Amphibious Blazefire Dragon after its double mutation by Spade and Diamond. It needs to meet special conditions before it can be activated and used normally.
Unsealing Conditions—
Obtain an original Famicom cartridge of "Adventure Island 3" by Takahashi Meijin, Japanese or American version, 90% new or above.
Obtain an original CPS1 arcade board of "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs," Japanese or American version, able to run.
Soul Equipment can be carried into the real world and used.]
[Additional comment: If you want nostalgia, please pay first.]
When Cheng Tian first saw this description, he finally understood that equipment from Heaven's Chosen Space wasn't unable to be brought into the real world for use; it required the "Soul Equipment" tag to do so.
As for the unsealing conditions of this breastplate... they were both difficult and simple, mainly depending on whether one had the right connections.
Logging out of Heaven's Chosen Space and returning to his dog's den, Cheng Tian first checked his phone, which had remained on.
Although Cheng Tian was a person who went out to set up stalls and run a small business, inevitably coming into contact with many strangers, his personal social life was almost non-existent; this was a choice he had made himself.
In fact, he originally had a few decent childhood friends, whom he had grown up with. But when they inadvertently learned that his sugar painting business was quite profitable, and that he was single and had few extra expenses, meaning he was bound to save money, they suddenly started subtly trying to get money from Cheng Tian one day.
Reasons like buying a house, buying a car, getting married, etc., were all used.
In response, Cheng Tian immediately adopted a strategy of "superficial perfunctoriness, internal disconnection," directly giving them the cold shoulder, and gradually losing all contact with them.
In Cheng Tian's heart, once money was involved, that friendship was irrevocably over. Rather than being constantly thought of or even resented for refusing, it was better to break off early and feel at ease.
Based on this form of real-life social interaction, the phone, which Cheng Tian had left untouched for nearly a week, contained only various mobile text messages, anti-fraud alerts, email spam, and similar messages. There were also only three messages from parents asking when he would set up his stall... and two inquiries from his master sent a day ago: "Chengzi, what is Longtu? Why are children specifically asking for sugar paintings of this?" and "Why are children pointing at the zodiac rooster and calling it Kun? Is there some historical reference?"
