After Feng Bujue had logged in, he went to check the calculation for his previous scenario . It could be said that the rewards from the Deadly Jeopardy scenario were really poor . The calculated Skill Value was zero, and the points he got when he answered the question, which valued 1000 points, didn’t appear in his calculation . Anyway, it had been automatically added during his time in that scenario . Now, Feng Bujue’s Skill Value was 2580 points .

He didn’t know what kind of skill card he could draw, but the biggest harvest in this scenario was indeed the bottle of SCP-500 which included 20 pellets .

[Name: SCP-500 (20/20)]

[Type: Consumable goods]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Functions: Can cure any abnormal states . ]

[Remarks: Click here for detailed information . ]

The remarks of this item included a link . When Feng Bujue touched that link, a window popped up in the front of his screen . It was the information of this item .

[Item Number: SCP-500]

[Item Category: Safe]

[Special preservation methods: SCP-500 should be stored in cool, dry place and avoid strong direct light . In order to avoid usage abuse, only level 4 staff are allowed to use SCP-500 . ]

[Description: SCP-500 is a plastic bottle which contents red pellets . Each pellet, after being swallowed, will effectively cure all kinds of diseases within two hours . This also depends on the particular conditions of the person taking the treatment . Although there are many studies and experiments, scientists who wanted to analyze and synthesize the basic components of SCP-500 all failed . ]

This wasn’t all the information about the pellet . If he continued to scroll down, there were more records and appendixes, which were all about the experimental requests for this ‘panacea’ and the records of the results .

This kind of medicine, just like Mr . Yu said, could ‘cure all diseases’ . In some aspects, it was even beyond the ‘curing concept’ . For example, a record had said that this medicine could cure people who were infected with mutant Zombie virus, turning them back to human again .

After Feng Bujue had read the content, he retrieved the item . To the setting of SCP, he had skimmed through it before, thus, he somehow got the main effects of this panacea . Now as he had read the detailed information, he just wanted to check what the different features this item had in Thriller Paradise .

The results eased his worries, and it seemed that no matter how damaged Little Tan’s left hand was, it only needed one red pellet to restore its normal state .

Then, Feng Bujue walked towards the Storage to receive his rewards .

Since he had continuously drawn some sh*tty items, he had recognized his bad luck and karma . Sometimes, using the word ‘possibility’ is just a useless way to console oneself . Bad luck is always bad luck . Being the person who carried such a strange disease, how could he believe that he could still be lucky enough to draw out Perfect Items in this game? Thus, this time, Feng Bujue was content with his fate and chose EXP instead . His current maximum EXP was 15,000, which meant he could receive 6,000 points more as it was 40% of his current highest EXP . With this EXP, he could reach level 16 easily .

After that, he went to another glass column to draw his Skill Card .

[Name: Devil Bat’s Ghostly Shadow]

[Skill Card Attributes: Proactive skill, permanent ownership . ]

[Skill Category: Investigating]

[Effects: cooldown time is 5 seconds . Can be activated when user is running with high speed . After the skill has been activated, within three seconds, user can have two different shadows backing them up . Before the skill is over, user can pass through the targets/obstacles in front of him/her (if the obstacle is a wall, on a scale of a fan-shaped of 2 meters ahead, there should be a gap wider than his/her shoulder in order to help him/her cross the wall; in case the wall’s height is more than three-fourth the height of user, he/she cannot cross it) . ]

[Consumption: 100 points of Physical Value . ]

[Learning Conditions: Investigating E, Fighting E]

[Remarks: the signature of a Running Back number 21 in American Football . This relies on the body’s central gravity and special changes in pace to create another shadow in the opponent’s sight, which helps to cross through the opponent’s blockade . ]

"Fast pace moving skill enhanced with dodging skill…" Feng Bujue supported his right elbow with his left arm while his right hand rubbed his chin . "Yeah, I think that it will be a waste if I learn this skill," he mumbled, "this skill seems to suit Little Tan better… His Fighting Specialty is D already, but his Investigating Specialty is just F . Can’t learn this . Dispirited’s Investigating is E, but her Fighting is just F . At present, in our Union, there’re only me and Like Rain who can learn it…" He contemplated then decided to put this skill in the shared Storage of their Union . He would wait to discuss with his teammates tonight about this skill card .

After he had received the rewards and put the skill card into the shared storage, Feng Bujue decided to visit the Box of Fear again . Currently, his Skill Value wasn't small; he could be able to buy some items that were under level 20 . This should be enough for him now .

Feng Bujue got used to the room equipped with twisted and concave mirrors and the box standing amidst it . He opened the menu to check the items there using categories .

At first, he tried to find ‘Legendary’ items . Of course, he just wanted to take a look . This mindset is just like when women go shopping, they will stare at the items behind the window of flagship stores, but it doesn’t mean that they are going to buy something there .

Men have the same thought . When they are checking for goods, from their curiosity, everyone will want to see the best items or the most expensive ones . Well, looking doesn’t cost .

"Wow! It exists!" Feng Bujue used filter tool to search through Quality category . He didn’t expect that he could find a Legendary quality item .

[Name: Tessaiga (1) – Iron Crushing Fang]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Attack Power: Unknown]

[Attributes: None]

[Special Effects: None]

[Equipment Condition: Fighting Specialty A, Spiritual Specialty A, Summon Specialty C, level 40 and above . ]

[Remarks: A legendary sword, created by Tōtōsai with a fang of the great monster Inu no Taishou . When player pours spiritual power in it, Tessaiga will change to its basic fighting shape—the Fang Sword . Depending on the strength of spiritual power, technique and the experience of the user, Tessaiga can turn into many shapes . Each shape will have particular attributes and special effects, and the sword’s power will also be different . ]

From the description of this item, besides pretty high equipment conditions, the other properties were unknown, which meant a player had to hold this weapon in his hands and pour his spiritual power in it to see the changes in its shapes and attributes .

By the way, taking a look at the price, at least Feng Bujue assumed that currently, no one who could buy this item .

This Tessaiga was priced at 90,000 points of Skill Value . Skill Value was a type of currency players couldn't trade . If they wanted to accumulate Skill Value until they could have 90,000 points, let alone the differences in levels between players, time was a crucial matter . Items would stay only seven days in the Box of Fear; thus, this weapon would be erased soon .

Of course, one day, if this sword appeared again in some scenario and still no one got it when the scenario ended, it would be put into the Box of Fear once again and be a model there for another week . This would depend on the creation of scenarios .

After he was done checking the ‘Legendary’ item, he was almost addicted . Feng Bujue then started to search for the items he needed . He pondered: in long ranged combat, the Deadly Poker was the divine weapon he couldn’t replace . With this Spiritual Weapon, Shooting Specialty didn't matter anymore . And, since he still had an M1911A Pistol as a long range weapon, he didn’t need more guns .

About melee weapons, he had to think about it… His pipe wrench wasn’t a signature weapon . Till the middle stage of the game, players who had proper fighting skills would perhaps use weapons like saber, sword, spear, hammer, or trident, etc . If he continued to use the wrench as his main melee weapon, it would be extremely unfavorable for his Fighting Specialty’s growth . About that broken stool… not worth mentioning .

Besides, he could consider buying defensive items . He had kept the Echo Armor in his bag for quite a long time . The best advantage feature of this item was it only took one slot for the belt . The remarks of this item read, [User can use the belt to activate an invisible ‘sound’ armor] . If it was an invisible armor, besides the belt, players could equip more items on his arms or legs to have a double layered defense .

So now, Feng Bujue was searching for melee weapons and defensive items .

After he had spent more than 20 minutes to review and compare, he found a suitable item . At the first glance, it was a steel sword around sixty centimeters .

[Name: Robots Must Die]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Attack Power: Medium]

[Attributes: Electrical]

[Effects: When used to attack machinery opponents, the damage power will increase significantly . ]

[Equipment Conditions: Level 15]

[Remarks: The legendary dwarf craftsman ‘Aure – All Must Die’ had so many embarrassing stories . At the end of each story, a new weapon was forged . For instance, the time that he was so resentful and felt it hard to open his mouth talking about it ever again was when he was taking a vacation at the ‘Sweet Cake Mount’ . He got tricked to play ‘Celestial Being Palpitating’ (2) once . Later on, he knew that the opponents were the two cyborgs who could change their appearances as they pleased . Not long after that, he had created this steel sword . ]

Tessaiga: Tessaiga (鉄砕牙, "Iron-Crushing Fang") is a sword wielded by the hanyō Inuyasha in the manga Inuyasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale .

(2) Celestial Being Palpitating: this is a kind of fraud by taking advantage of female appearance . It would be planned by a couple, where the female would use sexual suggestion to attract a male victim then take him to the hotel for the business . Then, her male partner-in-crime would appear to catch the infidelity case and seize the chance to rob the victim .
