After returning to the log-in lobby, Feng Bujue saw the calculation screen before him.
Regarding Brother Jue's exploits in the scenario, his summoning of Ma Sun, and his actions of completing quests, there was no need to summarize them here. Instead, it was better to focus on the other rewards.
For a normal difficulty team scenario, the reward from this Underworld Frontline was not bad. From Feng Bujue's calculation screen, it was hard to tell how much they had gained. Since Brother Jue's inventory was tight, he had only brought two items with him, and one of them was still on him.
However, if one took a closer look at the four of them, one would realize that they had brought a lot of good stuff with them from the Batcave, and most of them were 'bound to the user after equipping'. Even if they could not be used, they could be exchanged for money.
But for now, it was better to focus on the two items that Brother Jue had brought out. One of them was …
— — — Name: Batman Costume (Classic Version)
Type: Apparel
Equip Requirement: Male player, above level 40
Remark: Based on the original cartoon design, this is a traditional Batman costume.
This Batman costume was not actually equipment but apparel, so it was not bound to the user. Brother Jue thought that this thing could be sold for a good price, so he wore it. Based on the system's setting, the players could not make any changes to their apparel in the scenario, so he wore this costume over his own.
Now for the second item …
— — Name: Bane's Blood * 4
Type: Consumable
Rarity: Perfect
[Function: Increase user's Strength, Agility, Agility, Endurance, and Recovery (Lasts for 20 minutes, effects cannot be stacked)]
[Note: Due to the use of super steroids for many years to enhance his physical abilities, Bane's blood has mutated, becoming a more stable and powerful enhancer. Note: This item can only be used by people whose physical strength has reached a certain level. Ordinary people (players below level 20) should use it after diluting it with normal saline. Otherwise, there will be side effects.]
Feng Bujue had used his Pearl Handgun to 'trade' for these few perfect consumables in the scenario. Other than that, Xiao Tan's Two-Faced Coin, Ruo Yu's Large Caliber Revolver, and Xiao Ling's Poison Ivy Perfume were all traded for different consumables.
The trigger point for the 'trade plot' was very hidden. It was located at a corner of the Bat Cave that was filled with heavy objects. When Xiao Tan was moving the boxes, he was clearing a path. Only when the players approached the spot with relevant plot items would the system alert ring.
Normally, to discover this setting, one would have to stick close to the wall and search every corner of the Bat Cave. But as mentioned earlier … Feng Bujue could now analyze the matrix code of the environment to a certain degree. With him finding the hidden element, it would be much easier.
Therefore, with Brother Jue leading the way, the four from Underworld Frontline successfully triggered the plot and exchanged the plot items they had for items that they could bring out of the scenario.
By the way … Brother Jue actually had five bottles of Bane's Blood. But he took out one of them and had Clipper dilute it before injecting it into Joey.
Perhaps some might wonder why Feng Bujue would do something like that. As a player, he only needed to complete the mission. After the players cleared the scenario, whether Joey lived or died or what happened to Gao Tan had nothing to do with him.
Indeed, that was the case.
But … Brother Jue still decided to try his best to do as much as he could for 'Batman'.
Actually, there was no particular reason for him to do so. His mentality was similar to a normal comic fan. After reading the original I, the Joker, he was not satisfied with some of the plots and endings. Therefore, he wanted to do something to change the future of that world.
…
"Hmm … This time, the Game Coins won't be small." Feng Bujue finished reading the bill and turned to head to the storage room. He mumbled to himself, "This costume is slightly different from the Batman costume sold at the market. In other words … this is the so-called 'limited edition'. With enough hype, I can sell it at a high price to someone like Brother Ma. " With that in mind, Brother Jue was reminded of Blade Runner. "Hehe … I'll let that guy be the middleman and give him ten percent of the commission. It shouldn't be a problem to sell it for a good price."
He was a casual player, but he ordered the star player and leader of a famous gaming studio around like a henchman. To be able to do something like that … Feng Bujue was quite something.
"Ah … Time to collect the equipment." Brother Jue soon placed Batman's costume in the alley that led to the storage room and came to the glass tube that was used to draw the 'extra reward'.
His luck was as bad as usual. In the end, he only drew a normal quality item, and it was not very useful. He could not even use it to fill the disintegrator, so he could only sell it at the shop.
Then, Feng Bujue walked to the glass tube where he could claim the reward for clearing the scenario. He prayed that he would gain something this time.
Several seconds later, as the white light gathered, he saw … a strange object with a 'protruding' shape slowly take shape …
Item Name: Alchemist King's Taunt
Item Type: Armor
[Quality: Excellent]
Defense Points: None
Element: None
Special Effect: Greatly increase the effect of summoning skills (Weaker effects of the same type will be overridden)
Equip Requirement: Summoning C, a healthy middle finger on the right hand. Bound after equip.
[Remark: To hell with those who keep shouting about equivalent exchange all day long! You need a ton of materials to make something, and I'll just grab a handful of dirt to make it! You want to expel me from the association? No problem, this is my response! Remember my gesture! I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place! I'm going to be the Alchemist King!
Feng Bujue took the item out from the glass tube and realized that it was a movable metal finger glove. After he finished studying the description of the item, he decisively bent down and removed the [Alchemy Amplification Device of Reproduction] from his knees.
"Very good." Brother Jue said. "After all, the effect cannot be stacked, so I'll use this amplification device that's stronger and has no negative effect."
As he said that, he equipped Alchemist King's Taunt and stored the original amplification device inside the chest. Including the [Jazz Dance], he already had two Excellent quality items in his storage box. With one more bound item, he would be able to play the slot machine … Oh no … the [Magical Disintegrator Zero].
…
If there was a book, it would be long; if there was no book, it would be short.
To put it simply, after claiming the scenario reward, Feng Bujue hurried back to the elevator.
Like he said before he queued up, the first Normal Team Dungeon was just a warm-up. Next was the main event — Team Survival Mode (Nightmare).
Feng Bujue just stood before the touch screen and connected to the team's communication channel. He asked, "Is everyone ready?"
"We're waiting for you." Ruo Yu's voice came through first.
"We're ready," Xiao Ling replied.
"Ah, coming, coming." Xiao Tan sounded rushed. He had probably just entered the elevator as well.
It was worth mentioning that … under normal circumstances, after clearing the scenario, Feng Bujue needed more time to prepare than his teammates. There were two main reasons for that. One, his backpack was bigger, so there was no need for him to keep running to the storage room. Two, Brother Jue needed to claim the extra reward every time.
"Then, let's go," Feng Bujue said as his fingers moved on the menu.
"Feng Bujue, Level 43
"Wang Tanzhi, Level 40
"Rain Like Rain, Level 40
[Laughing Soul, Level 40]

"Downloading, please wait a moment."
"Welcome to … Thriller Paradise." It was a woman's voice. It sounded shaky, ethereal, and evil.
Before she finished, the players felt their vision darken, and they were teleported.

"A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance to trigger hidden side missions and special world-building.
"Reward for clearing the scenario: When the reward is calculated, you will gain a hundred percent increase in EXP from clearing the scenario.
"Playing the scenario introduction soon. The game will start immediately."
The system refreshed, and the players gained the ability to move freely.
"Hmm?" When Feng Bujue regained his consciousness, he realized something — there was a pair of cold hands covering his eyes.
Before he could react, he heard … a chilling and hoarse voice coming from behind his neck. "Guess … who … am … I?"
