"That's all I got from queuing up such a long scenario …" When Feng Bujue came to the second glass tube, he was still grumbling to himself. "What is the meaning of the PS in the remark? Is it a programmer's self-criticism? To put it bluntly, this is a set of data that should have been deleted."
"Please select your additional reward. One, a random piece of equipment corresponding to your level. Two, 50,000 Game Coins. Three, 116,000 EXP."
The familiar window popped up before Feng Bujue's eyes, but this time, he did not choose it immediately.
"My current EXP is 134300290000. If I add 116000, then …" Feng Bujue calculated quickly in his mind. "250300 EXP … I still need around 40,000 EXP to reach level 30." He thought to himself. "Even though I've gained so much EXP, it's still not enough to level up. I still need to queue up for another scenario, so why don't I draw a random piece of equipment?"
Since the reward for clearing the scenario was a disappointment, Feng Bujue decided to take a gamble. He hoped that he would be able to win something from the lucky draw.
Thus, he once again put his luck on the line and chose to draw the Random Equipment reward.
After the white light converged, a bowl-sized, arc-shaped metal piece appeared in the glass pillar.
When Feng Bujue saw the piece of equipment for the first time, he instinctively lowered his head to look at his chest. "Tsk … No way …" He frowned. "Even if it's really that thing, there should be two of them …"
Obviously … he had misunderstood the situation.
— — — Name: Alchemy Amplification Device
Item Type: Armor
[Quality: Excellent]
Defense Points: Slightly Weak
Element: None
Special Effect: Slightly increase the effect of summoning skills
Equip Requirement: Summoning F
Remark: This item can be equipped on either knee. It cannot be removed or equipped in the scenario, and the maximum Life Points of the wearer will be lowered by ten percent. — — —
"Oh … Knee guard, I thought it was that thing," Feng Bujue mumbled as he picked up the item and pressed it on his right knee.
When the metal piece touched Feng Bujue's knee, it heated up like a hot iron. After a strong burning sensation, the piece of equipment was' branded 'on Feng Bujue's knee in the form of suction.
He lowered his head to look, and he could see a circle glowing red on the surface of the knee guard. Of course, he had no idea what this circle represented.
"Tsk … If only I could have read the book about alchemy advancement …" Feng Bujue was still brooding over the fact that he failed to understand the book from the previous scenario.
He then hid the equipment and changed it to only show the status of the clothing.
"The problem … I don't have any summoning skills." After Feng Bujue equipped the equipment, he opened the game menu and said, "How about we leave this in the storage room for now?"
With that thought in mind, Feng Bujue felt uncomfortable. The character mission, 'Use summoning skills and successfully summon creatures fifty times', was stuck at 1450, and that was already a knot in his heart. And this time, he had drawn an equipment related to summoning. This feeling … it would be a waste if he did not use his summoning skills in the scenario.
"The summoning skills at the Auction House are all incredibly expensive, and for things like skills … those that are put up for sale are mostly useless, or else people would have learned them themselves." He glanced at the Stinky Chicken "Bullet" in his skill tab. "Spending more than 100,000 to buy a skill like this is obviously not worth it."
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue thought about it. "Right, Thriller Box!"
He suddenly realized there was another way for him to buy a summoning skill, and that was through the Thriller Box.
Other than equipment, the Thriller Box also sold Skill Cards. However, the number of Skill Cards that were lost in the scenario was very small compared to the number of equipment. Therefore, in the first week of the open beta, the Thriller Box did not open the search list for Skill Cards. One week later, all the Skill Cards and equipment that Chen Ge had accumulated earlier appeared inside the Thriller Box, and the seven-day countdown began.
Currently, Feng Bujue's Skill Points had reached 17,980 points. In the entire server, even players with a higher level than him might not have accumulated as many Skill Points as he did.
Therefore, Brother Jue still had some capital to spend.
Feng Bujue returned to the log-in lobby. After the elevator door closed, he pressed the button for Thriller Box and entered the small room with the floor that looked like a chessboard, the four walls were filled with mirrors, and there was a large gift box placed in the middle.
Opening the menu, he very purposely selected the skill tab and selected the 'summoning' option. With this kind of purposeful search, eight pages popped up, each with one hundred items.
As mentioned earlier, on the Thriller Box's search list, one could only see the name, type, and price of the item. To see the details, one had to click on them.
However, now that Feng Bujue had selected the summoning skill, he could basically ignore the type tab. For something like a skill, just the name alone was far from enough.
Therefore, Brother Jue, who had not been able to read a single book in the Detective Club, decided to satisfy his craving inside the Thriller Box.
There were almost eight hundred skills. It was not that much, but it was not that little either. Even though some of them were beyond Feng Bujue's purchasing power, he did not plan to let them go.
After all, he was in sleeping mode, so he was not in a hurry to do anything.
Three and a half hours passed in the blink of an eye.
With his perverted patience and focus, as well as his continuous and efficient browsing speed, Feng Bujue finished reading all the skill cards.
After clicking on the last skill on the last page, he stood up. After reading for three minutes, he pulled out the stool from his inventory and sat down. He put the stool away and started to pace back and forth.
The scary thing about him was not only that he could finish reading so much information, but the key was that he could still remember the information after reading it, and when he did, he could compare the information in his mind.
Another fifteen minutes passed, and Feng Bujue stopped moving. He clicked open the interface of the Thriller Box again. After flipping through a few pages, he selected a Skill Card.
"Name: Summoning — Musashi Kojinshui
"Skill Card Property: Active, Permanent
"Skill Type: Summoning
"Effect: Summon Musashi Kojinshui as your partner (Cooldown Time: 80 minutes, Active Time: 20 minutes, Maximum of 1 Musashi Kojinshui at one time)
"Consumption: Perform a strange action.
"Learning Requirement: Summoning F
"Remark: He is a third-year elementary school student. Due to his belief that 'all great men are called freaks when they are young', he became a freak. His body can turn at high speed and move on any surface. He often hisses and makes strange noises with unclear meaning. He has a very high IQ and can come up with many strange inventions. Furthermore, his family seems to be very rich. "
"Okay, I choose you." Feng Bujue used 480 Skill Points to acquire this skill. It was 20 points cheaper than when he bought Casey Jones' Mask.
At first glance, this was a summoned creature that was useless in battle. But in reality, he was indeed useless.
But then again, an F-grade summoned creature was not of much use in the first place. For example, Summoning — Sailor was already considered very powerful among Grade F summoning skills, so summoning required the consumption of a specific item — Spinach. Other Grade F summoned creatures like bats, limping zombies, hockey sticks that could fly, and so on were basically cannon fodder. Their main purpose was to stall and scout.
Feng Bujue filtered through the descriptions of the useless Grade F summoned creatures in his mind for a long time and realized that … only Musashi, the crazy brat, was able to summon creatures with high intelligence.
Then, from a non-combat point of view, Musashi was definitely more useful than other creatures of the same grade.
Of course, Feng Bujue also hesitated on whether to buy the other summoning skill, Summoning — Toilet Paper. This skill was completely useless and did not require any Skill Points. Its only advantage was that it only had a cooldown of ten minutes. But the cost of this skill was as high as 1,400 Skill Points. Obviously, the original intention behind the design of this skill was for players who needed to repeatedly use their summoning skills.
It was not impossible to buy both skills, but since he had already obtained the method to complete his character's mission, he might as well save the 1,400 Skill Points.
"Hmm … Later, I'll just randomly arrange a scenario and summon him for a chat," Feng Bujue said to himself after learning the skill.
As a writer who did not do his job … or rather, went out to collect material, naturally, he had read all kinds of material. Piggy Sunny Day was one of his favorite works. Among them, the character he was most interested in was Musashi Musashi. The reason … was probably some kind of resonance between weirdos.
…
After buying the skill card, Feng Bujue finally returned to the log-in lobby.
He had been wandering around the Thriller Box for almost four hours. Other than those professional players who were out of work, it was hard to find a casual player who would stay outside the scenario for so long.
"Hmm … No matter what, I'll have to level up to thirty tonight before I log off," Feng Bujue said to himself.
Then, an idea popped into his mind. The cooldown time to summon Musashi was eighty minutes, but if he entered the scenario and summoned Musashi, he would die not long after that. Then, he could queue for a new scenario and summon Musashi again.
With that plan in mind, Feng Bujue chose the Solo Survival Mode on Nightmare Difficulty. Even if he did not clear the scenario, he could still experiment with his new skill.
