Chapter 90

After the blinding light and the weightlessness disappeared, Kieran returned to the game lobby.

The words before him started to describe his rewards from the third dungeon run.

[Final Player Rating SS!]

[Calculating player's third dungeon rewards …]

[Final Player Third Dungeon Rewards are as follows …]

[Points: 10000; Skill Points: 6; Golden Skill Points: 1; Golden Attribute Points: 1]

...

Compared to the previous dungeon, the rewards from this one were much lower.

One was the difference in difficulty, and the other was the rating. The SS and SS ratings might seem like a difference of one rank, but the rewards were incomparable.

At least the SS rating could unlock a Special Dungeon.

Even without the Special Dungeon, the rewards from this dungeon were enough to satisfy Kieran.

Looking at the rocket launcher and heavy machine gun strapped to his body, the rewards were not something that could be compared to the rewards from the previous dungeon.

That was just a portion of Kieran's rewards from this dungeon.

But... Kieran did not slack off just because of the huge profit he had gotten.

After putting down all the rewards, Kieran started to recall the whole process of the third dungeon.

He needed to evaluate his gains and losses.

He still had a limited understanding of the dungeon world, or the underground game as a whole.

He could only rely on the most primitive method to improve himself.

"An SS rating. The easiest way to raise it to SSS rank is to kill Trumbo by himself … No, that's not right. Given Trumbo's strength, if he could kill him by himself, his rank would increase by at least three ranks! "

"There's a higher rating than SSS?"

Kieran looked at the words "assisted in killing" and thought of it instinctively.

Kieran thought. Kieran.

Kieran Rating is Translator Editor Editor

"Based on Mr. Awesome G and Sphendix's status, killing either one of them would definitely earn a higher rating!"

Kieran thought. Kieran King

Kieran mumbled to himself.

Dragon Kieran Kieran was asked.

He really wanted to know what kind of evaluation it would be, and … what he would get. Kieran SS rating was Dragon from Wizard. Dungeon.

Kieran's anticipation was soon replaced by a serious look.

He knew how hard it was to get a rating higher than SSS.

Take the third dungeon, [The Wandering Beast], for example.

Based on the current situation, he needed to at least kill Mr. Awesome G and Sphendix.

Not to mention the fact that Sphendix was always under Trumbo's watch. Even if Mr. Pervert did not have any strong players with him, it would not be easy for him to kill Sphinxer.

Kieran could not guarantee that he could escape unscathed from Trumbo's large number of well-trained and well-equipped subordinates.

Once Kieran killed Mr. Pervert, Trumbo would appear.

Kieran believed that Trumbo would not let go of anyone who messed up his plans.

Plus, there was the Shadow Stinger, Rock.

Although Rock was hostile towards Trumbo, it did not mean that he would be on the same side as the player. Still, that did not mean that they were on the same side as the Player. At the very least, they would not acknowledge the Player unless the Player showed considerable 'goodwill'.

On the other hand, killing Mr. Awesome G or Sphendix would completely disrupt the order of the entire city. With the heroic nature of the Shadow Stinger who hid in the dark, it was likely that he would also make a move.

After all, the biggest reason they would attack Trumbo was because Trumbo could destroy the entire city.

Kieran shuddered at the thought of facing Trumbo and the Shadow Stinger at the same time with his current strength.

Of course. He could also take advantage of the gap between them to carry out some tricks.

However, Kieran was sure that if he wanted to use these little tricks, he would have to at least survive one wave of attacks from any one of them.

No one would want to listen to the nonsense of someone they could kill with a wave of his hand.

This was especially so when this statement involved some of his own.

Kieran could imagine the risk he would have to take if he did that.

Sigh!

Kieran shook his head and shook off the images of his own horrible death.

Then, he let out a regretful sigh.

Jimmy's Blade and the Spellbook!

Kieran thought of those two items.

According to the conversation between the Shadow Stinger and Trumbo, those two items were the most valuable items in the third dungeon.

However, it was a pity that it was impossible to obtain these two items.

That would be no different from facing the Shadow Stinger and Trumbo head-on.

Kieran shook his head helplessly.

After a series of regretful discoveries, Kieran finally found some useful information.

It was about the Sub Mission.

"I did not hand in the Sub Mission [Final Battle] related to Mr. Pervert G, but it was still considered as me completing the mission during the dungeon clearance.

As long as I fulfilled my promise. Does the Sub Mission still count as complete if I didn't hand it in? "

Kieran pondered.

He did not know how the Sub Mission would be judged during the dungeon clearance. It could only be judged based on his actions at the time.

The description of the Sub Mission [Final Battle] had mentioned that Mr. Pervert G had decided to fight Sphendix to the death. However, Sphendix's sorcerer made him worry, so he asked you for help! " Kieran had actually killed Paul the Tamer and his teacher, Trumbo.

From an objective point of view, Kieran had completed Mr. Pervert G's Sub Mission.

However, from an objective point of view, Mr. Pervert G's actions had been subjective. Kieran had not completed the Sub Mission because Mr. Pervert G had lost almost all of his elite subordinates due to Trumbo's schemes.

"An objective point of view?

That's fair! "

Kieran thought to himself.

At least he had avoided a lot of trouble this way.

For example, running into a bad-tempered Sub Mission issuer.

According to Kieran's habits, if he ran into such a natives though, he would not mind teaching them a lesson.

Even if it would cost him a little more effort.

Kieran checked the dungeon rating again to make sure he had not missed anything. Then, he started to organize his loot.

First up were the four rocket launchers. Two were light machine guns and one was heavy machine gun.

[Name: Cobra-1]

...

[Armor Penetration Lvl 1: Able to penetrate light armor (Weak, Common Defense)]

...

Then there was the Magical Rank equipment and Skill Book that Paul and the giant bear had dropped.

[Name: Paul's Camouflage]

[Type: Armor]

[Rarity: Magical]

[Defense: Strong]

[Attributes: Hiding Lvl 2, Nimbleness Lvl 2]

[Effects: None]

[Prerequisites: None]

[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]

[Remarks: Paul named his pet Paul. This common black bear was raised by Paul with a special method. It grew in size but didn't lose its nimbleness. It was especially good at camouflaging itself!]

...

[Hiding Lvl 2: When you go undercover or hide, you gain an additional 20% camouflage effect] Extra 20% camouflage effect]

[Nimbleness Lvl 2: It will not affect your movements]

...

A black sleeveless leather armor with mysterious patterns appeared in Kieran's hand.

Kieran put on the leather armor without a second thought.

He was extremely lacking in a true sense of armor. Bulletproof vests were no longer able to keep up with his pace.

[Paul's Camouflage] appeared just in time.

Strong Defense. Two decent attributes, both of which caught Kieran's attention.

Especially the [Hiding Lvl 2]. Kieran's Grand Master level [Undercover] and the special effect [Grand Master of Shadow] provided Kieran with 80% of his camouflage.

Plus the [Hiding Lvl 2], it would be 100%!

It was good news for Kieran, who might need to keep a low profile.

Kieran somersaulted in the air a few times to confirm the effects of [Nimbleness Lvl 2]. Kieran looked at the Skill Book.

[Discovered Skill Book: Burning Hand]

[Possessed Mystical Knowledge (Entry), Prerequisites met …]

[Learn?]

"Yes!"

Kieran thought of the cone-shaped flame that Paul had shot out when he saw the skill book.

Kieran chose to learn the skill without a second thought.

[Learned Skill: Burning Hand]

[Name: Burning Hand (Basic)]

[Related Attributes: None]

[Skill Type: Offensive]

[Effects: A 45-degree cone-shaped flame covers a 2-meter area in front of you, inflicting Strong Damage and has a small chance to inflict a burn effect.

[Consumes: 1 Cracked Ruby and a certain amount of Volcano Ashes]

[Prerequisites: Mystical Knowledge (Entry)]

[Remarks: This is a spell that requires a hand gesture and a casting tool. It can only be cast after all the steps are completed. If you don't want to suffer a backlash, remember this!]

"Consumes 1 Cracked Ruby?!"

Before Kieran could rejoice over the fact that he had acquired his first Magic Skill, he was shocked by the cost of the [Burning Hand].

1 cracked [Ruby].

That was 2,000 Points and 1 Skill Point!

This was no longer an attack anymore. It was burning money!

It was literally burning money!

However, it would be worth it if it could be of use during a critical moment!

Kieran comforted himself.

The 2,000 Points and 1 Skill Point cost meant that the [Burning Hand] could not be used as a regular attack.

It could only be used as a trump card or a surprise attack.

However, the 2,000 Points and 1 Skill Point cost still hurt Kieran.

Kieran unconsciously looked at the Magical Rank potion, 3 scrolls of the same rank, and a Legendary Rank scroll that Trumbo had dropped.

He needed joy to wash away the pain in his heart.

What could make him happier than counting the biggest harvest of this trip?

Huu! Huu!

He took a few deep breaths.

After calming himself down, Kieran picked up the Legendary Rank scroll and slowly opened it.

Then …

Kieran was stunned on the spot.

PS: There's going to be a massive blackout tomorrow at Decadent's house!

Decadent's friend's wedding was supposed to be on the 14th and 15th, and he had planned to spend the next few days preparing for it. Now that this had happened, he was speechless.

He had to stay up all night again!
