With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 410 Rewards for the First Round of Preliminaries

[Xie Guangkun]: "I'm so envious! I got screwed over by Lao Liu and am stuck outside the circle. My ranking is probably outside the top 50,000, with only Iron rank as a guarantee..."

[Wang Tianlai]: "Iron +1, the preliminary round experience was extremely poor, and the results were also extremely poor."

[Li Daguo]: "Black Iron +10086, it's all tears when I talk about it."

Players who obtained the bronze treasure chest celebrated in the channel. Although it was only one level higher than the black iron chest, it was always good to have another chance to open a high-level item under this completely random reward mechanism with potentially huge differences.

Those who missed out on the bronze treasure chest, especially those like Zhao Min who were only one or two people short, were filled with lamentations.

Soon, players with higher rankings also started to appear.

[Zhou Wen]: "Ahem, I am not very talented, but I managed to get third place in the 80th division by sheer luck."

Zhou Wen tried to keep his tone calm, but his smugness still showed.

The channel was instantly flooded with "???" and "!!!".

[Qian Duoduo]: "Caught a wild big shot! Third place! Gold treasure chest!"

[Sun Hao]: "Third place in the 80th division? Impressive! Congratulations!"

[Wu Feng]: "To get third place in the division, you're definitely a top player! I admire you!"

[Zheng Xiaopang]: "Hey bro! What can you get from the treasure chest? I want a live stream of the unpacking!"

[Wang Tiezhu]: "Big boss, please take me under your wing! I need to latch onto your coattails!"

Zhou Wen's appearance immediately attracted a crowd.

Third place in the division means that he fought his way through at least one division's carnage, demonstrating his formidable strength. In addition, he also obtained a precious gold treasure chest!

[Zhou Wen]: "Everyone flatters me. I was just lucky. Our region doesn't have a monster like Lin Tian from region 58. Although the competition is fierce, the gap between the top levels isn't that exaggerated. (Smiles bitterly) I haven't opened the treasure chest yet. I'm a little nervous, afraid I'll have bad luck."

[Li Qiang]: "Don't be modest, boss! Open it now! Let us share in your good fortune!"

[Zhao Min]: "Yeah, boss, open it up and let us see!"

Encouraged by the crowd, Zhou Wen seemed to have made up his mind as well.

[Zhou Wen]: "Alright, let's open it then! System, please bless us!"

The channel quieted down considerably as many people waited for the results.

A few seconds later—

[Zhou Wen]: "...A skill book has been released. [Thunder Fury] (S-rank), a high-level burst skill for lightning mages... The rest are some high-level materials."

Zhou Wen's tone was clearly filled with excitement and satisfaction.

[Channel explodes instantly]:

"S-Rank Skill Book!!"

"Holy crap! It really is a treasure chest! It's packed with amazing stuff!"

"The boss has taken off! S-rank lightning magic skill! From now on, let's call him Thor!"

"My eyes are red with envy!"

"Let's soak up some good luck!"

Zhou Wen's opening results were like a shot in the arm, making everyone's desire for high-level treasure chests even stronger.

At the same time, this makes everyone even more curious about what kind of amazing things the first and second place winners in the competition can get from their gold treasure chests.

Especially... the three golden treasure chests of the top team in the region?

After congratulating and expressing their admiration for Zhou Wen, the channel naturally shifted its focus to unboxing and sharing.

After all, only a very small number of people own gold treasure chests, and there aren't many silver treasure chests either. Most people get bronze treasure chests and iron treasure chests.

[Sun Jianguo]: "I opened my bronze treasure chest and got a level 45 blue armor. The stats are pretty good, with a lot of added strength and stamina, and a small damage reduction effect. It's a small upgrade, I guess."

[Li Xiuli]: "My bronze treasure chest... I opened a bunch of intermediate healing and mana potions, and a few intermediate enhancement stones. I feel like I got a bit of a loss; I would have been better off getting some equipment."

[Wang Yuanchao]: "Haha, I got a great item from my bronze treasure chest! [Intermediate Skill Expansion Scroll], which lets me learn an additional basic skill outside my class! My warrior learned the rogue's [Stealth], making it much easier to ambush people from now on!"

[Zhou Yuejin]: "I envy the person upstairs! I only got some gold coins and materials from my bronze treasure chest, nothing special."

The rewards from bronze treasure chests are varied, ranging from practical equipment, skill scrolls, and rare materials to relatively common items such as potions, gold coins, and regular enhancement stones.

Luck played a large part.

The most numerous black iron chests have become the standard for judging whether one is "truly unlucky" or "smuggled into Europe".

[Zhang Cuihua]: "Waaah, I only got five [Small Health Regeneration Potions] from my Black Iron Treasure Chest... and they were the most common kind."

Zhang Cuihua sent a heartbroken emoji.

[Liu Erga]: "I'm a little better off than you. I got three bottles of potions and 100 gold coins... It's better than nothing, I guess."

[Zhao Jinbao]: "Inside the black iron box, I found a [damaged jade pendant]. The description says it's a quest item, but I don't know what it's for. I'll keep it for now."

[Qian Mancang]: "I am also a quest item, a fragment of a treasure map that I can't understand... I don't know when it will take to collect all of these."

Most of the Black Iron Chests yielded basic consumables of low value, a small amount of gold, or quest items of unclear significance, making many players who were already frustrated by their poor performance in the preliminary rounds even more depressed.

However, there are always lucky ones.

[Ouyang Tiezhu]: "Um... I opened a Black Iron Treasure Chest and got an [Attribute Stone]."

Ouyang Tiezhu's tone was somewhat uncertain.

[Zhuge Cuihua]: "Attribute stones? What are those? They add attributes?"

[Shangguan Dan]: "I know! Attribute stones grant free attribute points when used! They're extremely rare and valuable! Brother, how many points did your stone add?"

[Ouyang Tiezhu]: "After using it... I gained 20 free attribute points."

He seemed to just realize what was happening, and his voice trembled slightly on the channel.

[The channel went silent for a moment, then exploded]:

"How much?! 20 points?!"

"Holy crap! I got 20 free attribute points from the Black Iron Chest?!"

"What the hell is this luck?! I didn't even open my gold... no, I didn't even get a bronze treasure chest!"

"20 free attribute points! That's more than the attribute points you get for leveling up 4 times! And it's free! You can add them wherever you want!"

"Dude! You've hit the jackpot this time! You're going to take off!"

"Omega!!"

"Reported! This person is cheating!"

"I need some good luck! May my next chest also contain attribute stones!"

Ouyang Tiezhu's "feat" completely ignited the channel and rekindled the hopes of countless players who only got the Black Iron Treasure Chest - it turns out that Black Iron isn't entirely without a chance to make a comeback!

Of course, there was also boundless envy and lamentations of "Why not me?"

[Murong Shuanzi]: "Waaaah, we're both Black Iron, why is there such a huge difference! I only got a few [Inferior Agility Potions], the effect is +5 Agility for 30 minutes... and they're bound!"

Murong Shuanzi wanted to cry but had no tears.
