Weng!
After the treasure chest opened, the light released from the gold treasure chest spread all around.
It immediately made Stark realize.
His SSS-class skill [God-class luck] did not disappoint him!
Because at this moment, although the treasure chest only released a golden light, it was indeed brighter than the golden light of the three C-class weapons that were released from the gold treasure chest earlier!
After the light gradually stabilized, a book covered in Kraft paper was emitting a faint glow as it floated in front of Stark.
“Book? Could it be a skill?” A trace of curiosity appeared in Stark’s eyes as he reached out to grab it.
At this moment, a system notification sounded in his mind.
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Mercenary King’s Skill Book!”
A familiar notification sounded in Stark’s mind.
“The skill book of the mercenary king?” Stark muttered.
However, when he thought of the word “King” in the book’s name.
“Learn!” Stark ordered without hesitation.
Instantly, the skill book turned into yellow light and rushed into Stark’s mind!
A mysterious thing flashed in Stark’s mind like a drawing.
“So that’s how it is!”
An orange light flashed in Stark’s eyes as he muttered.
In front of his eyes, the introduction of the skill appeared.
[Skill: Mercenary King Phelps’ Detection Spell
Level: C
Effect: use this skill on living things: the user can obtain basic information about monsters, humans, and other living things (if the target is over level 30, or if the target’s attributes are 300 points higher than the host’s, the user will fail!)
Use this skill on items: if the user uses this skill on items, the user can obtain a certain number of detailed clues!]
“A C-grade detection skill, it really is a good thing!”
Stark felt the changes brought about by this skill, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face!
If there was a skill that Stark wanted the most, it would be this detection skill.
A skill that could know the basic attributes of monsters and humans was simply a god-like skill that could kill, rob, and avoid misfortune!
How many people had died because they had misjudged others’ strength?
If they had known the opponent’s strength long ago and felt the disparity in strength, they would have been able to avoid many dangers ahead of time.
Such a skill was not only for ordinary people.
Even for him, it was a hot commodity.
Moreover, the detection skill that people currently possessed was only D-grade.
Not to mention the failure rate, the accuracy rate was also pitifully low.
How could it be as powerful as the C-grade detection skill in front of him?
“Oh right, this skill can also detect items!” After being shocked, Stark suddenly became curious.
“Detection Spell!”
A ray of light that only Stark could see hit the ground.
“Turbid soil, a mixture of several materials, suitable for simple ground.”
Immediately, a message rose from the ground, but only Stark could see it!
“So detailed!” Stark was a little surprised. His eyes glanced at the bamboo that surrounded the house.
“Detection Spell—Bamboo House!”
“Ordinary bamboo, age: 10 years.”
Seeing the information, Stark was also interested. Immediately, he scanned through the items one by one.
“Oh right, there’s a treasure chest!”
Stark’s eyes lit up as he scanned the treasure chest.
“A gold-grade treasure chest, but it has already been opened and lost its spirituality!
“However, on the treasure chest, there is a trace of Mercenary King Phelps’ blood!”
When the originally calm Stark saw the last message, his entire body suddenly shivered.
“Mercenary King’s blood? Isn’t that the creator of my scouting skill?” A strange look flashed in Stark’s eyes.
Mercenary king?
Other than the scouting technique of Mercenary King Phelps, this was the second time he saw this mercenary king’s name.
He had some doubts about this name at the beginning.
Right then, the silent Astark in his mind suddenly opened his mouth.
“I remember this guy. He seems to be a god-tier mercenary king who traveled the world in ancient times.
“Our undead clan only knows of the existence of such a person, but no one knows how strong he is.
“But what we can be sure of is that such a person is extremely powerful to be able to run amok in such a cruel and dark era.
As Astark’s voice sounded in his mind, Stark was stunned!
He did not expect that this Mercenary King Phelps was actually from ancient times, a figure from the same era as Astark!
Without thinking, he knew that this person was at least an existence with the strength of a god!
“Could it be that something happened to him here?” Stark’s mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
“If that’s the case, I might be able to obtain other things from him!
“I can use his skills to find clues about him!”
Stark’s eyes shook. He immediately thought of the crux of the problem!
“Detection!” Immediately, the C-grade skill scanned the house carefully.
“There’s blood on the door handle. Although it’s long dried, it’s Mercenary King Phelp’s blood!”
Could he have gone out from here?
Stark followed the blood on the door and walked out.
“Ding, there’s a trace of blood on the grass. It’s Mercenary King Phelps’ blood!”
Sure enough, there was a glimmer in Stark’s eyes. Following the clues, he continued to search.
Stark kept following the trail.
He came to the side of a huge rock on the lake island.
“Ding, ordinary soil, but slightly loose. It’s different from the surroundings!”
As the notification sounded, Stark’s black iron rod directly smashed downwards.
The clue was obvious. There was definitely something under this huge rock.
“Dong.” A muffled sound rang out.
Stark’s rod had smashed into a black iron box!
He immediately swept away the soil and opened the iron box.
Instantly, pieces of scattered paper appeared in front of Stark.
“A notebook? It’s actually buried here!” Stark brought the paper in front of him.
‘When you see this notebook, it means that I should be about to die.
This can be considered as my dying words.
I was originally a man who was known as Mercenary King.
However, I didn’t expect that I would suddenly meet with misfortune and die here.
Thus, I stored all my items and a trace of my divine power in a treasure chest.
I only hope that if a descendant discovers this clue, they would be able to accept my meager inheritance.’
“The inheritance of a God!”
When Stark read this, his heart couldn’t help but beat fiercely.
At this moment, a notification sound that was exciting to the extreme instantly sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for triggering the world’s only hidden mission!]
[Mission level: SSS]
[Mission name: Phelps’ Lost Inheritance!]
