In a corner of this treasure vault, there was actually another hidden door.
After another identity verification, Yun Bozhong led Wen Xiangjie through the door.
Inside the room was another treasure vault, but it was clear that the items here were much fewer than in the outer vault, and their value was much higher.
“This is the Secret Treasure Vault. As the first-place winner of the ranking competition, you have the right to choose anything you want,” Yun Bozhong said kindly to Wen Xiangjie. “If you’re unsure about anything, you can ask me. I’m older and have more experience than you, so perhaps I can offer some advice.”
“Thank you, Principal.”
After thanking Yun Bozhong, Wen Xiangjie began to wander around the Secret Treasure Vault.
The lowest-grade equipment in the Secret Treasure Vault was Epic-grade, but most of the equipment was level 50 or higher, which Wen Xiangjie’s current level could not equip.
This was normal, as dungeons producing lower-level equipment yielded lower-grade items. Wen Xiangjie was able to obtain the growth-type legendary equipment staff and this God Card entirely because she completed hidden achievements that could only be completed once in each dungeon.
The First Military Academy's Secret Treasure Vault had a rich collection, and Wen Xiangjie quickly found a suitable set of equipment.
Equipment was mainly divided into weapons, armor, shoes, hats, and various accessories.
These pieces of equipment were somewhat similar to those in certain online games; after equipping them, one could choose to hide their appearance, as if they hadn't been worn, but the added attributes were real.
The growth-type legendary equipment Wen Xiangjie drew was second only to God-grade equipment. Even within the Secret Treasure Vault, Wen Xiangjie couldn't find a second piece.
However, Wen Xiangjie easily found a complete set of level 20 legendary equipment, excluding the armor.
Later, when her level increased, Wen Xiangjie could re-enter the Secret Treasure Vault at any time to replace them with higher-level legendary equipment.
Wen Xiangjie explored the entire Secret Treasure Vault but truly couldn't find a suitable piece of armor.
Armor was the most important equipment after weapons. It wasn’t that there were no level 20 legendary armor pieces in the Secret Treasure Vault, but their attributes were too ordinary and offered no enhancements to Wen Xiangjie.
After some thought, Wen Xiangjie decided to convert the God Card she received this time into armor.
The God Card’s description stated that it contained a trace of the card god's divine power. Wen Xiangjie believed that the armor converted from this God Card should bring her a pleasant surprise.
Seeing that Wen Xiangjie only chose equipment, Yun Bozhong asked gently, “You’re already level 20 now, right? You have new skill points. Is there no skill you like in the Secret Treasure Vault?”
“I obtained a very good and suitable skill from a game dungeon, so I don’t need one for now,” Wen Xiangjie replied with a smile.
Every skill obtained from a game dungeon contained a portion of her system’s energy, so it was naturally the most suitable skill for her.
With her systems, Wen Xiangjie had no need to bother obtaining skills from other places.
Yun Bozhong did not continue to inquire about the skill Wen Xiangjie obtained, nor did he intend to interfere with Wen Xiangjie’s choice.
Everyone’s path belonged to her. If Wen Xiangjie felt it was suitable, then it was suitable.
As for Wen Xiangjie only choosing equipment and not a pet, Yun Bozhong did not inquire further.
Wen Xiangjie’s pet was an SSS-grade Elf Queen, capable of both offense and healing, with exceptional talent. The output of pets had always been extremely low, and high-grade pets were even rarer and more difficult to obtain.
In terms of aptitude alone, the Elf Queen could be said to be the strongest among all currently revealed pets.
It was completely understandable that Wen Xiangjie, having the Elf Queen, did not want to choose another pet.
“Since you’ve chosen, let’s go out.”
Yun Bozhong led Wen Xiangjie directly out of the Secret Treasure Vault, through another passage, and back to the initial small meeting room.
Inside the small meeting room, Wang Zhizhen and the others were already chattering excitedly, showing off the treasures they had chosen from the treasure vault.
“See? A full set of Epic-grade equipment!” Wang Zhizhen said proudly, raising her chin.
Although because of this complete set of Epic-grade equipment, she could no longer choose legendary equipment, she still felt it was a great deal.
This was something she had the right to obtain only by being the second-place winner of the ranking competition!
“Hmph!” Wei Zicheng, who could only get an Epic-grade weapon and an Epic-grade armor because his ranking wasn’t as high as Wang Zhizhen’s, clenched his fists and said with full fighting spirit, “Next time, in the ranking competition, these pieces of equipment will be mine!”
“You?” Wang Zhizhen first glanced at Wei Zicheng disdainfully, then said with a mischievous smile, “Why aren’t you saying you want to get Wen Jie’s equipment this time?”
Wei Zicheng’s entire face instantly flushed crimson with shame.
Who… who wants to compare with Wen Xiangjie, that Great Demon King!
He was merely a strong person among normal people; there was an entire world of difference between him and the Great Demon King. He couldn’t compare, simply couldn’t.
“Anyway, anyway, you just wait for me! Don’t ask what for, just wait!” Wei Zicheng said stubbornly.
“If only your courage were as tough as your mouth,” Wang Zhizhen said with a giggle. “Push you into a crematorium, burn you to ashes, and when they bring out the ashes, there’s still a mouth left.”
“At least it’s progress. He knows Wen Jie is someone he can’t afford to provoke, and he doesn’t dare to be stubborn in front of Wen Jie anymore,” Qiu Meixin said, laughing loudly.
Wei Zicheng: ???
Why were they all bullying him!!!
“Cheng Yushu, what equipment did you choose?” Wang Zhizhen asked curiously.
“I didn’t choose equipment. I took an A-grade pet egg,” Cheng Yushu carefully took out an egg emitting a purple glow from his storage belt.
Given his ranking, after taking this A-grade pet egg, he couldn't choose any other equipment.
However, he felt it was worth it, as a pet could accompany him throughout his growth, and an A-grade pet egg was already an extremely rare existence.
“Oh right! There are pet eggs too!” Wei Zicheng slapped his head in annoyance. “I should have chosen a pet egg too if I had known earlier!”
“Would you be willing to part with your Epic-grade Clear Cloud Sword?” Qiu Meixin asked teasingly.
Wei Zicheng’s entire face instantly crumpled into a tangled mess of indecision.
Wei Zicheng’s conflicted expression made Wang Zhizhen and Qiu Meixin burst into laughter.
Teasing Wei Zicheng was simply too much fun!
Seeing Wen Xiangjie return with Yun Bozhong, Wang Zhizhen and the others finally reined themselves in a bit.
Out of respect for Yun Bozhong still being there, they didn't feel comfortable directly asking Wen Xiangjie what she had chosen, but their eyes couldn't stop glancing at Wen Xiangjie’s bracelet.
They all knew Wen Xiangjie’s bracelet was a storage item, and the equipment Wen Xiangjie obtained must have been placed inside the bracelet.
