Chapter 25.7: Leveling Up the Treasure Chest, Blessing All Sentient Beings!
[ ~Ding! Congratulations to this fellow Little Drifter for succeeding in the challenge. ]
[ Obtained one ✦✦✦✦Gold Treasure Chest. ]
It wasn't until the chat group announced that Rover had succeeded in the challenge that people slowly woke up from their long, stunned silence… and gradually came to their senses.
Wearing a satisfied expression, Rover took the Gold Treasure Chest and turned around, only to see the Crownless and Calcharo looking at him with indescribable expressions.
That look was as if he had done something to wrong them; it held one part resentment, three parts confusion, and six parts curiosity.
To be reasonable, at this moment, the Crownless and Calcharo… really had the impulse to crack open the Rover's head to see what exactly was inside.
"Sorry about that, I won't be joining you two for the punishment later."
Rover shook the Gold Treasure Chest he had just obtained in his hand, a single sentence turning the faces of the Crownless and Calcharo pitch black.
Especially the Crownless; one must remember that just moments ago, Rover had actually made a move intending to kill it.
In just this short while, it seemed as if everything from before had been turned over like a page…
It was fortunate that the Crownless didn't know Rover's true thoughts: testing the BUG exploitation rate was the real goal, and killing it would have just been a convenient bonus.
It belonged to the category of "it doesn't matter whether I kill it or not".
"Punishment… what will it be? Fire burning or lightning strikes?"
The Crownless and Calcharo muttered with slight worry, though from their tone, it wasn't hard to discern something else.
If it really was just fire or lightning, presumably they weren't too worried… or rather, afraid.
Meanwhile, the chat group became lively once again.
〜Exposure Chat Group〜
Changli: "So that's what the so-called 'Clang Clang~ Clang~ Clang Clang~' meant…. ⦍LaughingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Jinhsi: "Indeed. Who could have possibly thought of such a thing? ⦍SmilesBitterlyJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Chat Group Masses: " 'Clang Clang~ Clang~ Clang Clang~' Where are the Tacet Discords from before? Come out and speak, trolls! Do you know what 'Clang Clang Clang~ Clang Clang~' is now? ⦍SuperCoolJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Tacet Discords: "...Dammit, how could that human woman be that powerful? There must be something fake about this. Yes… that guy definitely cheated."
Chixia: "You damn bastards, Rover would never cheat… My Yangyang is just that powerful to begin with."
Yangyang: ".... (Am I really that powerful? Why didn't I know that myself….)"
Iuno: "That Rover really is a mysterious existence that makes one feel he is incredible. ⦍SighingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Augusta: "I hope to have the chance to fight him to my heart's content. ⦍FightingSpiritJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Cantarella: "Truly a very interesting person; it makes one unable to resist wanting to understand him deeply, to study him properly."
Carlotta: "You vicious woman, what bad ideas are you cooking up now?"
Cantarella: "Oh. Is Little Potato jealous? Could it be… you've fallen in love with that Rover? ⦍TeasingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Carlotta: "Go die, I just want to destroy all your schemes and plots. ⦍FierceJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Shorekeeper: "Rover...(It seems no matter how many times we restart, you are still so popular with the girls… But it doesn't matter. As long as it is what you like, anything is fine.)"
.....
As for Rover's side, clearly knowing that he could directly fuse the Advanced Advancement Stone with the treasure chest to promote it to a Seven-Colored Treasure Chest.
He didn't hesitate much longer, immediately taking out the Advanced Advancement Stone he had obtained earlier and beginning the journey of fusion.
[ ~Ding! Little Drifter begins fusing the Seven-Colored Treasure Chest. ]
[ Phenomenon from the Heavens: All guests who witness the seven-colored light, input "Rover is so handsome." in the chat group for a certain chance to obtain rewards. ]
[ Rewards are Resonance Ability or Astrites. ]
Right after the notification popped up in the chat group, sure enough…. the sky was already reflecting a seven-colored glazed light.
Everyone within the chat group, be they humans or Tacet Discords, could feel the vast divine might of that seven-colored light.
Just as their bodies came into contact with the seven-colored light, a feeling involuntarily rose in their hearts… as if they were about to obtain something, but ultimately, they were just one step away.

Shorekeeper: "Rover is so handsome."
Camellya: "Rover is so handsome."
Phrolova: "Rover is so handsome."
Changli: "Rover is so handsome."

[ ~Ding! Guest Phrolova triggered the bullet screen reward, obtaining five years of Resonance Ability. ]
[ ~Ding! Guest Changli triggered the bullet screen reward, obtaining ten years of Resonance Ability. ]
Everyone in the Chat Group: "???? Holy crap, you can play it like this?"
Yinlin: "Rover is so handsome."
Lupa: "Rover is so handsome."
Ciaccona: "Rover is so handsome."
Zani: "Rover is so handsome."
Roccia: "Rover is so handsome."
Brand: "Rover is so handsome."
Iuno: "Rover is so handsome."
Augusta: "Rover is so handsome."
Jinhsi: "Rover is so handsome."
Cantarella: "Rover is so handsome. I like him so much."
Jiyan: "Rover is so handsome. I like him so much."
Lingyang: "Rover is so handsome. I like him so much."
Fenrico: "Rover is so handsome. I like him so much."
Scar: "Rover is so handsome. I like him so much."
Christopher: "Rover is so handsome. I like him so much??? The people above have gone off-topic ah."
Chat Group Crowd: "Rover is so handsome."
Tacet Discord Army: "Rover is so handsome."
Clearly, at this moment, the number of people praising Rover for being handsome absolutely reached a peak.
There was no helping it… after all, one only needed to say "Rover is so handsome" to have a chance to get Resonance Ability or Astrites for free.
Such a thing was probably more exaggerated than a pie falling from the sky.
And indeed, there were many people who won the lottery, either obtaining corresponding cultivation… or obtaining a certain amount of Astrites.
Although the specific use of Astrites hadn't been figured out by everyone yet, people had already started taking the opportunity to make moves.
Iuno: "Acquiring Astrites in large quantities at a ratio of 10 to 1 Shell Credits, regardless of race or faction, anyone who has them can private message me in the chat group oh."
Aalto: "Acquiring Astrites in large quantities at a ratio of 15 to 1 Shell Credits, regardless of race or faction, everyone is welcome to come to the Black Shores to exchange at any time."
Unlike Iuno, Aalto was obviously acting upon receiving the Shorekeeper's decree.
