Chapter 677 - Chapter 676: White Plastic Lawn Chair (Part 1)

As Qingque introduced everything, the boxes that had already been opened disappeared, and a new batch of boxes replaced them. 

These boxes emitted a white glow, but Pei Guang could vaguely sense the allure of these boxes.

Pei Guang: "So, what's your suggestion?"

Qingque: "We're already here, friend!"

Although Qingque didn't say it directly, at this moment, both Pei Guang and Stelle understood what Qingque meant: they were playing a game of high stakes, opening ten boxes at once.

Pei Guang and Stelle exchanged a glance, then both placed their hands on the boxes. They decided to complete this ten-pull together!

Seeing Pei Guang and Stelle about to open the boxes again, the Heliobus in the illusion world was in pain, screaming, wanting to escape this troublesome place!

It originally planned to trap the explorers with the gacha system, but who knew that the explorers were the ones draining its energy with the gacha pulls.

This time, it was a guaranteed gold legendary pull. Once the gold appeared, wouldn't it be doomed? 

To survive, the Heliobus decided to abandon Qingque's body and have Huohuo pull it back.

If it didn't run now, all its years of effort would be wasted!

But then, something terrifying happened. When it tried to escape, Qingque actually used its power to restrain it.

Qingque: "Oh no~ You've come all this way, don't leave now~ Let me tell you, if you let Ah Guang pull some good stuff, it'll be good for you in the future."

Heliobus: "Why? Why can you use my power?"

Qingque: "After I woke up, I did a little research on this environment. This illusion was created with my consciousness as the carrier. Though I can't trap you forever, I can still hold you off long enough for Ah Guang and the others to open a box. Heliobus, hang in there~"

This was a lie. 

Qingque didn't really know why she could control this illusion, maybe because of Pei Guang's influence? Or maybe it was just as she guessed? 

She wasn't sure, but at least for now, she could prevent the Heliobus from leaving and bring the boxes prepared for Pei Guang to him.

As Qingque and the Heliobus were communicating, Pei Guang and Stelle opened the ten boxes all at once. The boxes opened, and white, blue, and purple light burst out.

Stelle: "Huh? No gold light?"

Pei Guang shook his head: "No! There is! Look over there!"

Following Pei Guang's finger, Stelle saw a white light that didn't fade. The white light slowly turned into a golden glow under her gaze.

Stelle: "It can work like this?"

Stelle was stunned. Usually, when they opened a box, the light inside remained the same, but this time, one of the white lights actually turned into gold?

Pei Guang nodded: "Gold-plating, a sort of 'guaranteed' mechanic in some games. Since Qingque said it was a ten-pull guarantee, the system has to trigger the 'guaranteed' mechanic if the gold doesn't show up. But this kind of mechanic, it's really annoying!"

Pei Guang said he was annoyed, but in reality, he was thrilled. The boxes Huohuo brought back were filled with golden recipes, Yanqing had pulled golden skills, and even a trash can had sent back what looked like golden-tier parts of an infinite trash bin.

Now, another golden light appeared, and he was over the moon.

On Pei Guang's side, things were going well, but the Heliobus inside Qingque's body was truly in danger. 

The Heliobus had stopped moving, and Qingque was sure of one thing: the Heliobus seemed to still be alive?

But that wasn't a big problem. As long as it wasn't dead, Pei Guang could probably do something with it, right?

At this moment, Pei Guang wasn't concerned about the Heliobus' life or death. What mattered was what came out of the box.

Pei Guang and Stelle eagerly gathered around the box that emitted the golden light, peering inside. Stelle looked confused.

"Ah Guang? What is this thing?"

Inside was a plastic chair. Stelle was puzzled, and Huohuo, who had curiously come over, also looked at the white plastic chair with confusion.

"Huh? Is this... the 'legendary golden l ight'you always talk about? It looks... so unique..."

Huohuo trusted Pei Guang's abilities, but seeing this white plastic chair left her completely baffled. 

How would you even describe this chair? It had that street-side food stall aesthetic.

While others couldn't make sense of it, Pei Guang immediately felt a chill down his spine upon seeing the chair, his body surging with power as if he understood its significance.

He pulled out the white plastic chair and checked its attributes.

[Plastic Lawn Chair: This is a chair filled with power. When placed normally, anyone who sees and can sit on the chair will be compelled to sit. Players can choose ineffective targets. The person who sits on the chair will be filled with power, but the bonus disappears once they leave the chair.]

[Note: This chair looks like it exudes power, and no one can resist its temptation. The specific effects are for players to explore themselves.]

Looking at the chair, Pei Guang's expression deepened. 

Most people would think about how to use this chair in battle to enhance their strength for a powerful blow.

But for Pei Guang, it felt like he was walking further down the path of becoming "inhuman."

What was the effect of this chair? Anyone who sees it will be compelled to sit, and the ability was almost conceptual. 

The only thing Pei Guang felt was that the chair was too small. If it were bigger, couldn't he use it to catch an Aeon?

Of course, that wasn't the most important thing. What mattered was that with this chair and his previously acquired Holy Light skill, he had taken "not being human" to the next level.

When fighting, especially in a one-on-one duel, he could just place the chair and wait for the opponent to sit. Once they sat, the Holy Light would trigger, and the opponent would be in for some serious social death.

But then Pei Guang thought of something terrifying: "Wait... If they sit on the chair and lose control... can I even keep this chair?"

Pei Guang quickly gave his answer to this question: it could be utilized, though he would not sit on it himself. Furthermore, it didn't say anything about not applying something to the chair, making it perfect for catching people.

Moreover, Pei Guang wasn't afraid of what might be on the chair. His storage space could precisely take what he wanted, so as long as he didn't take anything left on the chair, it would be a good chair.

After checking out the chair and understanding its properties, Pei Guang spoke up: "This is a chair full of power, but I'm not sure if it's useful in this illusion…"

While Pei Guang spoke, he placed the chair on the ground. 

Looking at the white plastic lawn chair, Stelle curiously poked it: "I don't feel any effect at all. Could the golden light be fake? After all, it's just an illusion…"

She was happy to see the golden light, but looking at the shabby chair, she couldn't shake the feeling that it didn't have any flashy effects.

However, while Stelle was complaining, something abnormal happened with Qingque's body. Suddenly, a drained Heliobus flew out from inside Qingque's body.
