[Holy crap—what did the Blood Clan Queen put into the coffin this time?!]
[One of them is white-quality… and the other one's glow—wait, no way… could that be purple?!]
[Purple-quality item?! Are you kidding me?!]
[I'm not messing with you. You can tell just from the glow—every item quality has a different light.]
[Even though Lin Yu grabbed it really fast, I replayed the footage just now. That item was definitely giving off a faint purple glow.]
[This is insane! What kind of god-tier luck does Lin Yu have?! First he clears a side quest effortlessly, now he picks up a purple-quality item?! Did he save the planet in a past life or something?!]
...
Looking at Lin Yu on screen, the expressions on the livestream viewers' faces instantly turned into a mix of envy and jealousy.
First, he cleared a side quest with zero effort.
Then, he picked up the items the Blood Clan Queen personally placed inside the coffin.
If it were just white- or green-quality items, that would've been one thing—
But the unbelievable part was that one of them was purple-quality.
Across the entire Horror Game—
A newbie player obtaining a purple-quality item in a beginner dungeon was something that simply should not exist.
For 99% of players, a purple-quality item was practically the stuff of dreams.
Some players cleared dungeon after dungeon, yet the highest-quality item they ever owned was still only green.
A newbie casually obtaining a purple-quality item in their very first dungeon—
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would've believed it.
Of course—
Viewers watching a livestream couldn't see the item's detailed description.
They could only judge its quality from the glow it emitted.
This was a built-in protection mechanic, preventing players' item information from being leaked during dungeon runs.
Right now—
The livestream chat was almost entirely focused on one thing:
Lin Yu's outrageous luck.
[Blood Clan Crest (Equipment)]
[Quality: White]
[Effect: None]
[Note: A status crest that only Blood Clan nobles possess. Equipping it grants favorability with the Blood Clan.]
[Blood Shadow Bracelet (Item)]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effect: After activation, the player can merge into shadows. Movement is allowed during the effect. Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes.]
[Note: One of the Blood Clan Queen's personal accessories.]
...
"Let's just treat this as compensation for getting groped…"
Looking at the items the Blood Clan Queen had placed inside the coffin, Lin Yu didn't hesitate at all and immediately stored them in his system inventory.
After checking the item details, he chose to equip them right away.
A metal crest appeared on his chest, engraved with a crimson rose at its center.
At the same time, a silver bracelet materialized on his wrist.
With these two items equipped, Lin Yu's confidence surged once more.
Especially the Blood Shadow Bracelet—
Its effect was incredibly powerful.
Merging into shadows while still being able to move freely was nothing short of a top-tier lifesaving ability.
The only downside was the short duration.
But even so, it didn't diminish the item's value in the slightest.
If Lin Yu had possessed this bracelet earlier—
Whether facing Wang Gang, Li Hai, or Wang Shan's pursuit—
He wouldn't have been forced into such a desperate situation.
"…Should I wait a bit longer?"
Originally, Lin Yu had planned to leave as soon as the Blood Clan Queen walked away.
But now that he'd gotten tangible benefits—
His thoughts began to shift.
What if…
She tossed in a few more items?
That would be a huge profit.
Even though the Blood Clan Queen was still shrouded in black mist, making her features impossible to see—
At this moment, Lin Yu felt like she somehow looked a lot more pleasant than before.
"Tch… how troublesome…"
The Blood Clan Queen muttered softly, her voice still completely devoid of emotion.
Her footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
"Looks like that's it…"
After waiting for a while and hearing no more movement, Lin Yu didn't hesitate any longer and climbed out of the coffin.
Despite now having a powerful item, he remained extremely cautious.
After carefully checking his surroundings, he slowly left the room and quickly entered another one.
He opened the door and slipped inside.
...
Time passed, second by second.
There was no joy on Lin Yu's face.
Because up until now—
He hadn't found any more items.
Not even a single item that couldn't be taken out of the dungeon.
That left him feeling slightly disappointed.
"Looks like my luck's run out…"
With a quiet sigh, Lin Yu stepped out of the room.
"Tap… tap… tap…"
But just as he reached the staircase and prepared to go downstairs—
Footsteps suddenly echoed in his ears.
And they were coming from below the stairs.
The instant he heard them, Lin Yu spun around and sprinted back toward a room he'd searched earlier.
During his exploration, he'd deliberately memorized which rooms contained coffins—
Just in case.
"I've found you!"
As Lin Yu ran—
The Blood Clan Queen's sharp, mocking voice rang out behind him.
"Damn it—what's wrong with this Blood Clan Queen?! She's completely ignoring our 'shared coffin' history?!"
Cursing silently in his heart, Lin Yu picked up speed.
But the footsteps behind him grew closer and closer, as if she could appear beside him at any moment.
Fortunately—
The room with the coffin wasn't far.
He rushed inside and dove into the coffin with practiced ease.
...
"Heeheehee…"
In the hallway Lin Yu could no longer see—
The Blood Clan Queen stood still, letting out a few soft chuckles.
She covered her mouth with one hand, clearly trying not to let her laughter carry.
At this moment, there was none of her former ferocity.
Instead, she looked like a child who had just witnessed something incredibly amusing.
"Cough, cough…"
After a few seconds, she seemed to have laughed enough.
She cleared her throat and, without any hurry at all, began walking toward the room where Lin Yu was hiding.
