"Calculation complete. Please continue."

When Feng Bujue first logged in, he saw the rating review from the previous scenario. The reward that he obtained from Death Quiz was very limited. The Skill Points gained in the review were zero. In other words, the one thousand Skill Points won during the quiz did not appear among the rating. However, the Skill Points were indeed added. Currently, Feng Bujue's total Skill Points were at 2,580.

The Skill Card aside, the biggest reward from the scenario was undoubtedly the bottle of twenty SCP-500 capsules.

Item Name: SCP-500 (20/20)

Item Type: Consumable

Quality: Perfect

Function: It can cure all negative effects.

Remark: Please clic.k to read the details.

———

The item's remark was a link. After clicking it, a window containing the information about the item popped up on the menu.

———

Project Code: SCP-500

Project Type: Safe

Special Preservation Method: P-500 must be kept in a cold environment away from direct sunlight. To prevent medicine abuse, P-500 can only be obtained by employees above level four.

Description: SCP-500 is a small plastic bottle containing red capsules. Each capsule will cure all known diseases within two hours of ingestion. The actual time of treatment depends on the condition of the patient. Even though a lot of experimentation has been done, all projects to manufacture the synthetic main component of SCP-500 have ended in failure.

That was not all. Scrolling down, one could read more records and notes. Basically, they were about the records and research requests from using this 'ambrosia' in the past. Like Mr. Yoo had claimed, this medicine was a 'cure-all'. From a certain perspective, it was already beyond the capacity of 'curing illness'. For example, one of the records said plainly that the medicine was able to revert the process of zombification.

Feng Bujue read through the content before putting the item away. He knew a thing or two about the myth behind the SCP system and had heard of the effect of this ambrosia before. He was reading through the link again to check whether the effect of this item within the world of Thriller Paradise had been edited or not. The result was quite a relief. No matter what Xiao Tan's left hand suffered from, a capsule of this medicine would cure everything.

Then, Feng Bujue went to the storage to claim his reward. Due to his impossible streak of bad luck with drawing equipment, he had a renewed appreciation of his luck. Sometimes, praying and self-consolation would only go so far. If one was unlucky, the best way was to accept it. Since he was able to contract an illness that had avoided the rest of the world, why should he expect to win rare equipment in-game?

Therefore, Feng Bujue stopped trying to challenge destiny and chose the EXP reward. His current threshold for the next level was fifteen thousand. Forty percent of that would be six thousand EXP, and with that addition, he rose to level sixteen. Then he walked to the other glass tube to draw the skill card.

Skill Name: Shadow of the Evil Bat

Skill Type: Active, permanent

Skill School: Sleuthing

Effect: With a cooldown time of five seconds, this skill can only be activated when the user is running forward. Three seconds after activation, the user will obtain the cover of double images. Before the effect runs out, the user can phase through targets or hurdles placed right before them. (If the hurdle is a wall, when the player comes into contact with it, within a fan-like area of two meters before the player, there has to be a crack bigger than the size of the player's shoulder to allow phasing. For a completely sealed wall, if the wall is seventy-five percent higher than the player, phasing is impossible.)

Consumption: One hundred Stamina Points.

Learning Requirement: Sleuthing E, Fighting E

Remark: The signature skill used by the American Football player with the number twenty-one on his back. With the shift to the body's center of gravity and gait, one can create the impression of a double image in the enemy's sight and thus phase through the enemy's defense.

"A high-speed movement and evasion skill…" Feng Bujue used his left hand to hold his right elbow, and his right hand touched his chin. "Hmm… Looks like it's a waste for me to learn this…

"This skill is more suitable for Xiao Tan… His fighting mastery is already level D, but his sleuthing is only F, so he still can't learn it. Laughing Soul's sleuthing is E, but her fighting is F. Currently in the guild, only Passing Rain and I meet the requirements to learn this…"

He thought about it before deciding to place the skill card inside the guild storage. He would discuss how to dispense it later with the rest of his guild.

After getting the reward and placing the card in guild storage, Feng Bujue decided to go shopping at Thriller Box. Currently, he had quite a lot of Skill Points; buying equipment usable for player under twenty-one level should be more than enough.

Feng Bujue had gotten used to the room filled with twisted mirrors and a big box placed in the middle. He opened the menu with ease and looked through the items on sale according to their categories.

First, he searched for legendary items. Of course, he was merely looking. It was no different from window-shopping for ladies. They would look at items in the windows like animals eyeing their prey, but it did not mean that they would buy anything. Men would have similar experiences. When they were perusing the items on sale, due to curiosity, they would go look for the best and the most expensive items. After all, looking at one would not cost anything.

"Oh! There is really something here!" Feng Bujue really did find a legendary item on sale.

Item Name: Tessaiga

Item Type: Weapon

Quality: Legendary

Offense Points: Unknown

Element: None

Special Effect: None

Equip Requirement: Fighting A, Sorcery A, Summoning C, and Level ] 40

Remark: A legendary blade, forged by Totosai using the fang of General Toga. After being imbued with Mana, Tessaiga will transform into its battle form—Blade of Fang. Based on the user's sorcery power, skill, and mastery of the sword, Tessaiga can transform into different forms. Each form has its own unique element and special effect, amounting to different damage.

———

From the existing description of the item, other than the high equip requirement, the rest was basically unknown. One would have to obtain the weapon and pour mana into it, causing it to change into different forms to know the change to its element for sure. However, just from the price tag alone, Feng Bujue believed that no one in the game was currently able to afford this.

This Tessaiga was worth 90,000 Skill Points. Skill Points were a non-tradeable currency. The only way to raise that many Skill Points was to spend an inordinate amount of time playing the game. The item in the Thriller Box would only last for seven days, so it was almost certain that this blade would be deleted.

Of course, if the blade appeared in another scenario in the future and the player was not allowed to bring it out with him, it would return to the Thriller Box for another week.

After looking at the legendary weapon, Feng Bujue started searching for stuff that he needed. He analyzed his situation. In mid to long distance combat, Death Poker was an irreplaceable weapon. With his Sorcery weapon, the marksmanship mastery would be made obsolete. Furthermore, he had the pistol M1911A1 to act as a long-ranged weapon, so he did not need another long-distance weapon.

Close-ranged weapons though… that was considerable. After all, wrenches were not meant for killing. When he reached the middle stage of the game, where actual battles would become more frequent, he should be carrying a conventional weapon like a sword, spear, axe, hook, or something similar. It was unrealistic to expect him to keep using a wrench as his main weapon. That was extremely unbeneficial to his fighting mastery growth. And that bench… it was not even worth mentioning.

Other than that, he could consider purchasing some armor. The Echo Armor that had been placed inside his inventory for who knew how long had one thing going for it. It only occupied the slot around the waist. The details of the item stated that "By activating the belt, the wearer will obtain invisible 'echo' protection." Since it was invisible armor, other than this belt, the player could still put on visible armor elsewhere for dual protection.

Therefore, the main things that Feng Bujue should purchase were close-ranged weapons and armor.

After twenty or so minutes of searching and comparing, he found more suitable equipment. It had the appearance of a sixty-centimeter-long steel blade.

Item Name: Robots-Must-Die

Item Type: Weapon

Quality: Excellent

Offense Points: Medium

Element: Electricity

Effect: When attacking robotic enemies, the damage will have a drastic increase.

Equip requirement: Level 15

Remark: In his life, the legendary goblin blacksmith lived through many a regrettable story. Almost every story was bookmarked with the forging of a weapon. The most embarrassing and shameless story happened when he was vacationing at 'Cake Mountain', where the hapless blacksmith was catfished. He found out later that the other party was a robot repeat offender who could shift between sexes with ease. Not long after that… this blade was forged.
