Chapter 2: Encountering A Treasure Chest
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Treasure chest system?” Linley Bart was momentarily stunned.
“Ding… Super Treasure Chest System has been successfully activated. It’s an honor to serve the host.”

He did not expect the system to respond to his question.
“What functions do you have?”
“The system can help you obtain treasure chests. If a treasure chest is nearby you, I will notify you.”
“The Treasure Chest System will randomly give you treasure chests all over the world.”
“The treasure chests are divided into Bronze Treasure Chests, Silver Treasure Chests, Gold Treasure Chests, Diamond Treasure Chests, Supreme Treasure Chests, Super Supreme Treasure Chests, Saintly Treasure Chests, and lastly, Special Mysterious Treasure Chests.”

“According to the level of the treasure chest, there will be random rewards of different treasures. The rewards include weapons, abilities, sorcery books, sorcery materials, magic crystals, magic contracts…”
“What is a magic contract?”
Linley Bart interrupted the system’s introduction. He wanted to understand what these items were, to avoid losing out if he didn’t understand their value.
“The magic contract allows one to establish a contract between two parties. After signing the magic contract, the other party will completely obey your orders!”
“So powerful! Then which level of treasure chest do I need to open to get it?”
“The contract can be found in a Golden Treasure Chest.”
“Do I need a key to open the treasure chest?”
“All treasure chests do not need any keys. The system will automatically open for you. The higher the quality of the treasure chest, the better the item. As for the Special Mysterious Treasure Chest, you will randomly obtain items or abilities from other worlds when you manage to open it.”

Linley Bart was extremely excited. Even if he found the most basic Bronze Treasure Chest, he would still be able to increase his magical power by a notch.
As long as he picked up enough treasure chests, it was not impossible for him to become a Holy Magister one day.
This way, there was no need to worry about this body that had no sorcery talent.
“Then where is the nearest treasure chest?” Linley Bart couldn’t wait to open a treasure chest.
“Ding, searching for the nearest treasure chest…”
“Search successful. There is a Bronze Treasure Chest ten meters in front of the host?”
“Ten meters?” Linley Bart looked around, but there was no sign of any treasure chests.
He then looked outside the door. The only possibility was that the treasure chest was outside the room.
Just as Linley Bart was about to get up from his bed, another wave of pain from his body reminded him that he was still injured.
Another piece of memory flooded into his mind. This memory was not so pleasant.
It was the memory of him fighting with a group of people three days ago.
Although it was called a fight, it was actually a one-sided bash because the difference in strength between him and his opponents was too great.
The opponent was a senior student who was bashing up “Linley Bart”.
He was beaten without any chance to retaliate at all. After which, he fainted and when the body woke up again, he was no longer the old Linley Bart.
The senior student was called Otto.

He was the prince of the Wind Crow Empire. He was extremely talented in sorcery and was the most talented person in the royal family in the past hundred years.
The reason why Otto wanted to cause trouble for Linley Bart was very simple. His country had been defeated by Linley’s father, Duke Bart.
His family had suffered a defeat. No matter how Otto thought about it, he could not take this lying down. When he remembered that Duke Bart’s useless son was still in the academy, he had decided to beat him up to vent his anger.
Linley Bart was famous for being a hedonistic son of a wealthy family and his talent in sorcery wasn’t the slightest bit outstanding.
Even casting a small spell took him a long time. Furthermore, even after learning for so long, he was still only a Trainee Apprentice Sorcerer.
Even the people of his own country looked down on him as he was someone who had relied on his father’s reputation to come to the academy to waste time.
Linley Bart himself didn’t really care. He was used to doing as he pleased. After all, his family was rich and had a hereditary noble title. If anything happened, his father would help him.
He could do whatever he wanted.
However, after coming to the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy, this personality was much more restrained. This was because the students here were basically all descendants of aristocrats from all over the world.
The lineage of some students’ ancestors could be traced back to the nobles thousands of years ago, and the Bart family was only a noble that was conferred three hundred years ago when a sorcerer had appeared in the family.
2
Compared to those noble descendants who could be traced back thousands of years, Linley Bart was considered a complete nouveau riche.
His father had many outstanding military achievements, but he was not a sorcerer after all. Everyone knew that the war in the future would belong to the sorcerers.
Old Bart had also thought for a long time before he decided to send his son to the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy.
But upon entering the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy, his status and position were no longer worth mentioning. Besides, Linley’s talent in magic was very poor.
For a spell that was easy for others to cast, Linley Bart needed to spend ten times the time as them to cast it.
1
He knew that it was very difficult for himself to become a qualified sorcerer and had hence given up on it, deciding to spend his days drinking and playing around instead.
Initially, this was not a big deal. Many nobles in the school had merely come to school to mingle around. After all, as long as one entered the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy, even if one did not become a qualified sorcerer in the end, as long as they had graduated from this school, they would be respected and looked up to by others on the continent.
However, this time, Linley Bart had unluckily bumped into Otto. Because of the war between the Wind Crow Empire and the Raymond Empire, Otto had decided to vent his anger on Linley Bart.
2
He and a group of friends surrounded Linley and gave him a beating to vent their anger, knocking him out unconscious.
Until this “Linley Bart” transmigrated and became the new Linley Bart.
After obtaining the Treasure Chest System, it would not be easy for them to bully him anymore.
However, if he wanted to become stronger, he had to obtain the treasure chests. Otherwise, his future life would definitely not be easy.
Ten meters. As long as he could open that door…
After spending all his might to crawl towards the door and open the door, Linley Bart was relieved that the system indeed hadn’t lied to him.
The Bronze Treasure Chest stood at the entrance. He could not wait to open it.
“Bronze Treasure Chest discovered. Do you want to open it?” The system’s sweet voice reached his ears.
Linley didn’t hesitate at all. “Open!”
