" Ding! "
System Prompt: You have fallen into a treasure, Dungeon creation successful!
As Qiu Han entered the Treasure Cave, he faintly heard the beautiful sound of the System prompt, feeling extremely excited. Falling into the first map, Treasure Cave — Tomb, was indeed a good omen, but then he was dumbfounded.
"You, how did you all come in too?"
Upon entering the Tomb, Qiu Han thought he was seeing ghosts, as Lufeng and others had followed him in.
"Maybe we came in with you... Get ready to fight, Treasure Minion is coming!"
Before Lufeng could finish speaking, two or three nearby Treasure Minions brandishing their blunt large blades surrounded Lufeng and the others, continuously mumbling:
"The treasure belongs to our master; you can't take it away!"
"Hehe, another group of fools coming to die!"
...
Seeing that Gao Chao and the others were about to take action, Qiu Han quickly stopped them: "Don't attack yet. I'll lure them away first. If I can draw the Treasure Master over, you just need to take half of its health; leave the rest to me! If I can handle it myself, you all stay in the corner and don't attack!"
Gao Chao was confused and asked, "Why?"
"Why so many questions? Just follow the Fourth method and hide in the corner with me."
After Lufeng finished speaking, he pulled Murong Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiaojing to the corner of the Tomb wall. Gao Chao and Qin Shou were puzzled but followed suit, hiding in the corner as well.
Seeing Lufeng's arrangement, Qiu Han nodded and simultaneously used a group attack skill—Eagle Strike in the Sky—to attract the aggro of three Treasure Minions. He was also hit three times, losing over a thousand health points.
“-536”
“-458”
“-543”
Qiu Han did not retaliate; instead, he led them to the center of the Treasure Cave while using the Golden Elixir Gourd, restoring 2500 health points instantly, bringing his health back to full, although he wasted quite a bit.
“+2500”
Once he reached the center, Qiu Han spotted the Treasure Master and immediately used his stealth skill—Golden Cicada Leaves Its Shell—causing all Treasure Minions to lose their target and scatter. At this moment, Qiu Han summoned the Sunglasses Cat that Lufeng had given him and began attacking the Treasure Master fiercely.
The reason Qiu Han did this was that if the Treasure Minions died, the chance of the Treasure Master dropping a key would decrease. When the Treasure Master dies, there are usually three outcomes: one key drops, two keys drop, or no keys drop at all.
If the Treasure Minions are killed first, it is almost guaranteed to drop one key, with a possibility of dropping none. Only by keeping the Treasure Minions alive does the chance of dropping keys increase, with a possibility of two keys dropping.
Treasure Keys are the only items that can open treasure chests within the Tomb. Without Treasure Keys, entering the Treasure Cave would be futile; hence Qiu Han employed this method to maximize his chances of obtaining more keys.
Keys can only be dropped by the Treasure Master; Treasure Minions are merely guardians of the Treasure Master. They will not leave the Treasure Cave even if their master dies, but their presence affects the key drop rate.
Qiu Han continued to attack the Treasure Master. With the help of Sunglasses Cat, his attacks were sharp and did not require assistance from Lufeng and others. Before long, the Treasure Master's health was reduced by half.
At this moment, several Treasure Minions approached Qiu Han again. Qiu Han no longer used skills to attack the Treasure Master, instead focusing on attacking the minions while guiding the Sunglasses Cat's attacks with his thoughts, directing it to target all the Treasure Minions without needing to attack the Treasure Master.
When the Treasure Master's health dropped to half, it could no longer use skill attacks and could only perform basic attacks. The Rare Beast's active skills were random, and if the Sunglasses Cat's skill attacked the Treasure Master, then obtaining two keys would be impossible.
In his previous treasure hunting experiences, Qiu Han often obtained two keys due to this technique. What excited him even more was that in Asking Heaven, the Rare Beast no longer followed its owner's attack target; it could attack based on its owner's intent. This way, Qiu Han could have the Sunglasses Cat deal with the Treasure Minions while he focused on attacking the Treasure Master.
The Treasure Master was quite fierce in its attacks. After using the Golden Elixir Gourd five times, Qiu Han finally managed to eliminate the Treasure Master.
With a thought, he collected the loot dropped by the Treasure Master, and as expected, he obtained two keys.
Qiu Han did not feel overly excited; this was just the beginning. He still needed to check the distribution of treasure chests to determine the feng shui of this Tomb.
Afterward, Qiu Han returned to Lufeng and the others, laughing as he said, "You all came in just in time; let's eliminate these Treasure Minions."
Lufeng quickly signaled Gao Chao and Qin Shou to go ahead and asked anxiously, "How many keys did you get?"
"Two!" Qiu Han replied calmly and confidently.
Lufeng couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that?"
Treasure keys were worth several times more than treasure maps, generally ranging from 10 to 30 gold coins. Prices fluctuated with market changes, and those who felt unlucky often sold keys they obtained.
As Lufeng asked, Qiu Han was sure to share everything he knew. He slowly explained, "When fighting a boss, wait until it has half health before attacking slowly without using skills. Wait for it to accumulate skills before striking!"
Gao Chao quickly asked, "How can you tell when it's going to use a skill?"
Regarding this issue, it is indeed difficult to explain. Qiu Han thought for a moment and replied, "It's when the body turns red, use control skills to prevent it from releasing. However, since we are at a low level now, it doesn't matter if it does release, but we must ensure it has accumulated skills and then quickly kill it. Generally, it will drop two keys."
"Gosh!" Gao Chao suddenly understood.
Lufeng couldn't help but curse with a laugh, "Get lost, you little Japanese! I always thought that you needed control to have a greater chance of dropping two keys. I didn't know it could be done this way."
Qiu Han laughed, "Having control is the best. For high-level treasure hunting, control skills are key. Our low-level characters don't have such high demands! Theoretically, the probability of dropping two keys at a low level is the same as at a high level. I have a method to easily get two keys: when the Treasure Master is about to die, take away the BB and then deal a normal attack to finish off the Treasure Master. It usually results in two keys; whether the main group seals or not doesn't matter."
"Alright, you really have some skills. I usually only get one key, but you got two on your first try here. That kind of luck is incredible," Lufeng said excitedly, speaking without restraint and completely forgetting that Wang Xiaojing and Murong Xiaoxiao were still nearby.
Seeing Wang Xiaojing's displeased expression, Qiu Han awkwardly smiled and said, "The key is that the boss taught well. If it weren't for your Sunglasses Cat and Golden Elixir Gourd, even a skilled person would find it hard to blow without rice. In short, most of the credit goes to the boss."
"And us!" Gao Chao chimed in while attacking the Treasure Minion.
Lufeng smiled calmly, "It has nothing to do with you two. The Treasure Minion will be left to you; Qiu Han and I will check the distribution of treasure chests. Xiaoxiao, help them with healing; Xiaojing, protect Xiaoxiao well and avoid any accidents. Make sure not to die here; otherwise, we might all get teleported out!"
"Got it!" Wang Xiaojing and Murong Xiaoxiao replied in unison.
So far, Lufeng and the others still maintained their virgin status; they had no idea what death meant for Virtual Characters in Asking Heaven. If they really ended up meeting Meng Po in the underworld, they could only burn incense and pray.
