Chapter 81

The special statue rune emitted an unusual energy, taking effect simply by being placed in the inventory.

Upon seeing its attributes, Qin Han’s face lit up with joy.

Another rune-type item!

This thing would activate just by sitting in his backpack, taking up no equipment slots at all.

A full 1,000 resistance to all elements—this single attribute alone rivaled an entire set of Dark Gold-tier Equipment.

With this in hand, meeting resistance requirements for special zones would become much easier in the future.

Of course, the most impressive aspect of this statue was the vigilance aura.

In the game, there were plenty of units capable of stealth.

Without detection methods, one could easily be ambushed someday.

With this aura, his defenses reached another level of perfection.

As for the gold-finding ability at the end, it wasn’t bad either.

After all, no one turned their nose up at money.

In the late game, expenses were as numerous as hairs on an ox.

All in all, to gain such a massive haul right after arriving at Thunder Poison Island

far exceeded his initial expectations.

After this, all that remained was retrieving the Sword Dojo master’s wife, and this trip would be considered complete.

Letting out a soft sigh of relief, Qin Han took out the lottery machine

and tossed it to the ground before crushing it underfoot!

Even though just 20,000 more gold coins would have cleared the screen and earned him a new Dark Gold-tier set, he felt not the slightest regret.

He would never, ever use this thing again.

"Young hero, why did you smash such a fine treasure? If you didn’t need it, you could’ve given it to me!"

Elder Lei stared at the shattered remnants of the lottery machine, his face full of regret.

He had seen clearly—everything on the ground had come from that very machine.

Qin Han glanced at Elder Lei but offered no explanation.

This thing could only be used by invited players of the Game of Eternal Life. Natives like Elder Lei weren’t qualified to use it.

But not being qualified might not be a bad thing.

Aside from the Tenfold Amplification Card, which was likely placed inside by an unfathomable entity, this lottery machine was nothing but a complete scam!

He remembered in his past life, during the mid-game, when news of the Tenfold Amplification Card spread, it triggered a frenzy of lottery draws across the Myriad Heavens.

Anyone with even a shred of power rushed to pull the lever before others could, all hoping to land a super Unique Treasure like the Tenfold Amplification Card.

Among these people were even many big shots of the Myriad Heavens, including one who would later become a Supreme God.

A Supreme God—what kind of status was that? A true top-tier powerhouse in the game.

Such a figure had wealth beyond measure— billions, tens of billions... trillions, even endless sums.

This Supreme God emptied his coffers, drowning in debt, even borrowing from fellow Supreme Gods until they were drained dry and terrified of him.

Yet in the end, he didn’t draw a single Unique Treasure.

By the time Qin Han was reborn, that Supreme God’s lottery spree still hadn’t ended.

Still stubbornly scraping together money for more attempts.

It went without saying just how much of a trap this thing was.

Sometimes, the power of example could even get people killed.

Shaking off his thoughts, Qin Han turned to Elder Lei.

"A year ago, did your High Priest abduct a woman from the outside world? Do you know about this?"

Elder Lei’s expression stiffened at the question.

After a moment of contemplation, he sighed and replied, "Ah... it’s true. It did happen."

Inside the cavern, Elder Lei slowly recounted everything he knew.

After listening, Qin Han—

His mind was instantly put at ease.

The people in the Ninth Mining Area were once the family of the former Island Lord of Thunder Poison Island.

Two years ago, the former Island Lord brought back a man of immense magical power from outside. Not only did he appoint him as the High Priest, but he also obeyed his every word, handing over all defensive forces to the High Priest's command.

At first, however, the High Priest seemed to refrain from reckless actions.

But a year ago, the High Priest went out on a trip and returned with a woman.

From then on, things took a sinister turn.

The High Priest first launched large-scale construction to build a luxurious mansion for that woman.

Not long after, he brazenly staged a coup, killing the former Island Lord and imprisoning his entire family in the Ninth Mining Area.
