Global Floating Islands: I Have SSS Talent-Chapter 137 - 118: Meteorite Armor, Earth Bursting Celestial Star

Chapter 137: Chapter 118: Meteorite Armor, Earth Bursting Celestial Star

Not long after moving forward, Han Xing finally saw a glimmer of golden light.

Before him, at the bottom of the water, there clearly lay a Golden Treasure Chest.

At this moment, Han Xing noticed that his oxygen level had already depleted by 70%, making it imperative to surface quickly.

He hurried over to open it.

[Successfully opened the Golden Treasure Chest, obtaining Permanent Gold Ingot *13, Vitality Ore *7, Mithril *144, Meteorite Battle Armor (Gold) *1.]

"Damn, golden armor!"

In the water, Han Xing couldn’t help but exclaim with excitement in his heart.

With a thrilled heart, Han Xing collected everything from the chest into his backpack and quickly surfaced.

Seeing Han Xing emerge with an expression of joy, everyone knew he had made quite a haul.

Cheng Jianyong pulled Han Xing up with one hand and asked, "Brother Xing, did you get something good?"

Han Xing nodded and directly posted the attributes of the equipment.

[Meteorite Battle Armor (Gold) lv18, Quality - Legend, Defense 57~64, Power +35, Constitution +30, Hit Rate -10%, Attached Effect - Mountains (immune to dizziness), Attached Effect - Scorching Flame (20% chance when attacking to add Explosive Flame effect, causing 150% explosive damage to enemies), Attached Effect - Earth Bursting Celestial Star (Legendary Effect)]

[Earth Bursting Celestial Star]: Legendary Effect, 15% chance to summon a meteor from space when attacking, dealing Attack Power *288% wide-range damage to enemies and causing them to be stunned for 3 seconds. (This effect has a cooldown time of 600 seconds.)

"Damn! This top is truly badass!"

Cheng Jianyong exclaimed, "Nearly triple range damage and three seconds of group stunning effect, terrifying!"

Compared to the Titan Battle Armor obtained last time at the Knight Judgment Arena, this Meteorite Battle Armor was superior due to its higher level and better attributes.

Due to its adaptable attributes, everyone present could actually equip it.

Yet, at the current stage, even Han Xing, the highest-level character, was just level 16, unable to meet the equipment requirement.

He had to put it in his backpack for future use.

Meanwhile, Han Xing noticed something else in the treasure chest.

[Vitality Ore]: A precious exotic metal, with a seemingly liquid surface.

Han Xing recalled that the ancient weapon, the Gold Melting Cannon, obtained by felling that strange bird, seemed to require Vitality Ore for repairs.

He glanced at the Gold Melting Cannon in his backpack, covered in cracks.

It was down to its last two points of durability.

He had plenty of Permanent Gold Ingot now, but Vitality Ore was scarce, having only found three during the last Golden Treasure Chest opening.

This time, however, he directly obtained 7 Vitality Ore.

Getting closer to repairing the Gold Melting Cannon.

Han Xing thought, "Now, everyone should have explored plenty of Sky Islands over a thousand square meters and gathered a lot of High-Level Materials within them."

"But I wonder if there’s any Vitality Ore among them."

"If there is, I need to trade for it, even at a cost."

Han Xing immediately made up his mind, maneuvering the Sky Island while accessing the trading channel.

Then, he typed in the keywords ’Vitality Ore.’

Tens of thousands of trade listings were filtered through, leaving less than thirty.

Though few, it made Han Xing’s eyes light up.

"There really are some!"

The benefits of the merged district became evident at this moment.

While Vitality Ore is considered rather advanced, the sheer number of Survivors meant that a low probability would still result in its appearance!

Each of these over thirty listings had between two to eight Vitality Ore.

Yet they were unaware of the Vitality Ore’s use.

Because the system merely annotated that it is a precious metal without specifying its exact purpose.

However, since the system acknowledged its preciousness, these people naturally knew of its above-standard value.

Many set their prices between thirty to forty thousand Spirit Cores for a single Vitality Ore, which nearly rivaled the price of a Blue Backpack.

Nonetheless, Han Xing found it acceptable.

Considering how limited the source of Vitality Ore is—only a slim chance of obtaining it from a Golden Treasure Chest.

In the current phase, even a Silver Treasure Chest is valuable; Han Xing himself had opened fewer than five Golden Treasure Chests, with only two yielding Vitality Ore.

Han Xing initially wanted to buy them up outright, but some seemed unsure of the Vitality Ore’s value and instead opted for price negotiation through private chat.

So, Han Xing started private messaging each seller.

He first messaged someone named Squirrel, straightforwardly stating, "20,000 Spirit Cores for one Vitality Ore."

The response was quick.

Squirrel: "Damn, second on the leaderboard, Star River?"

By now, Han Xing was well-known, nearly ubiquitous in Zone 2.

Currently, he sits in second place on the leaderboard, and given recent discussions in the chat channel, ignoring him is impossible.

Han Xing replied, "It’s me, are you selling the Vitality Ore?"

Squirrel seemed excited and promptly responded, "Selling, of course!"

"Just, are you sure you want to trade 20,000 Spirit Cores for one Vitality Ore? I actually have 5 pieces here."

He seemed to think Han Xing’s offer was too high.

Initially, Squirrel only intended to trade these Vitality Ore for other materials, like Mithril, and consider it profitable.

But now, Han Xing’s offering of 20,000 Spirit Cores per piece was extraordinary.

By current market standards, 20,000 Spirit Cores could exchange for a blue-quality piece of equipment.

100,000 could even get two supreme blue backpacks.

Han Xing replied, "Yes, if you agree, let’s trade now."

Squirrel contemplated briefly, then said, "Star God, can I use these 5 Vitality Ore to exchange for two Blue Backpacks with you?"

Han Xing was taken aback.

His request was indeed within a reasonable range.

Since Han Xing’s set price for a Blue Backpack was 50,000 Spirit Cores each.

Han Xing agreed, and the person named Squirrel quickly initiated the trade.

[Trade successful, you’ve obtained Vitality Ore *5, and lost Spirit Core Space Backpack (Blue) *2.]

Looking at the 13 Vitality Ore in his backpack, a smile appeared on Han Xing’s lips.

He continued sending private messages one by one.

However, trading directly was sometimes cumbersome since there was no anonymity feature in the trading channel, and every message he sent elicited awe.

Some amicable survivors readily agreed to trade with Han Xing.

While others saw his fame as a chance to extort a bit.

In such cases, Han Xing simply disconnected from the chat.

Moving on to the next potential seller.

After about ten minutes, those people often lost patience and proactively contacted Han Xing for a private chat.

But some remained stubborn, refusing to back down.

Han Xing eventually gave up negotiating with them.

Finally, after half an hour,

Han Xing managed to trade for 46 Vitality Ore, combining with his own reserves, amounting to 53 pieces altogether—more than enough to repair the Gold Melting Cannon.

At this moment, Han Xing took out the massive, cracked cannon from his backpack.

As soon as everyone saw the peculiar cannon design, they gathered around for a look.

However, Zhang Lianmeng slightly trembled, seemingly recalling some unpleasant memory.

Cheng Jianyong asked first, "Brother Xing, what is that?"

"Gold Melting Cannon, I’ll let you witness its power in a bit," Han Xing replied.

Then, a system prompt appeared.

"Would you like to repair the special equipment, ’Gold Melting Cannon’?"

"Repair requires materials: Permanent Gold Ingot *48, Vitality Ore *48, Spirit Core *4800, Rare Earth *48000, and upon successful repair, the durability will be restored to full."

Han Xing clicked yes immediately.

In the next moment, the materials in his backpack vanished, and a golden light shimmered on the barrel of the Gold Melting Cannon.

A few seconds later.

The system prompt appeared.

[Special equipment, Gold Melting Cannon, successfully repaired. Current Durability: 50/50.]
