The trio walked in and scanned the area for any enemies. They wandered around the living room checking out each and every corner. In the living room there was a long table with several chairs on each side. Which could easily fit ten people. There were several wooden supports around the table holding the roof up.

At the left side of the farmhouse was a sofa and a television. Which well doesn't work because there is no electricity here. They headed over to lounge with several bookshelves.

Then they checked a old desk, which had a wrench on it and a pile of components. Collin grabbed both of them. The pile contained about 5 screws and 10 basic components.

He was more intrigued about the wrench though. Because that's the standard weapon of a Robomechanic so he checked it out.

Old man's Wrench

Gold

Stats:

+3 ATK

+2 DEF

+1 minion slot

Level required: 5

Desc:

The old wrench of a farmer before his demise. He most likely left it behind after the world started to change.

This was great! He could equip this weapon in his next level up already. Which only required two more exp. As a result he would get a big stat buff. With one extra minion slot on top of it as a bonus.

He opened his inventory and checked his components bag. It now contains 17 magic screws and 30 basic components and 2 ancient screws. So 49/50 spots are filled up. The cow head was in his inventory.

They did one last scan around the farmhouse.

"Sorry Collin but I can't really find anything around here sadly." Sophie said while she was looking around the upside of the room.

"Nothing here either Collin, I think we looted everything here already. We might need to move on to the second floor now." Ronald told Collin

Collin agreed and looked for the stairs and found one door with walls that went all the way up. So they opened up the door to what they thought were the stairs that would lead upstairs. However it turns out to lead downstairs instead. So they went down the basement. It looked like it was a beer basement.

A basement where they brew beer from the wheat they farmed. There were five rats who jumped up when they saw the group going downstairs. All of them seemed to be about level five. So everyone prepared for this next battle. Taking extra care because this might mean they got their stats overhaul too. The group saw at the end of the hall another set of stairs going back upstairs again. So they had to defeat this pack to continue.

After all they were aiming for the golden clearance reward now.

The group of rats went ahead first and each of them targeted one of the members of Collin's group. Collin ended up losing 3 hp, snuggly about 5 hp, chirp-a-lot also about 3 hp. Sophie lost 5 hp and Ronald 4.

Collin started off with tossing his wrench at one of the rays. Which thanks to the improved ATK stat now does about 5 damage to the rats. Because of their lower defence.

Snuggly jumped on that same rat and used bite on. Which did 4 damage and afterwards about 1 damage each second.

Chirp-a-lot went for a air raid onto one of the rats who still had full hp. They grabbed the rat flight how far they could because of the lower platform. Then just tossed the rat onto the ground dealing 6 damage.

It was now Sophie's turn. She raised her staff and pushed it into the ground. Dealing 5 damage to all of the rats. This lead to the demise of the two damaged rats. Which leaves three rats standing.

Ronald tossed his knife onto one of the three remaining rats. Which dealt about 4 damage.

The rats started panicking but tried to regroup either way. They nervously started to use bite on on all three of the tribe members. Which dealt five damage and afterward one more damage each second as long they stayed on the targets.

Collin was struggling to push the rat off himself. While he was in this struggle one notification kept popping, up even though his head was stuck in the mouth of the rat.

- 1 damage

- 1 damage

- 1 damage…

This repeated until he finally managed to throw the rat off after losing a total of 13 hp.

The other two weren't doing too well either. With Sophie losing 10 hp and Ronald even 15. However all was still well! It isn't that easy to get rid of the golden chance after all.

Now it was the turn for the tribe once more. They were gonna make sure the fight ends this turn!

Sophie once more did her aoe attack. Simply because it has more effect when

There are three or more left on the battlefield. Dealing 6 more damage to each of them.

Collin ordered chirp-a-lot to air raid one of the rats and toss it onto another. Which ended up dealing 6 damage to each of them. Destroying the one chirp-a-lot tossed. Snuggly bit the other rat which destroyed them too.

Ronald went ahead and did a backstab on the last rat hitting 6 damage. When Collin tossed his wrench hitting a lucky critical hit of 5 damage. Which obliterated the final rat.

The group received 125 exp splitting it through the group. Resulting in 25 exp for each member.

Collin levelled up to level 5

Ronald levelled up to level 5

Sophie levelled up to level 5

Chirp-a-lot reached level 5

Minion has been stat overhauled because the bond is close enough!

At that moment Pillow sprinted downstairs ready for the battle! But it was already over before he arrived.
