The tribe walked towards the barn after Sandy really obviously hinted that the treasure MIGHT be in the barn. They entered the barn and to literally no ones suprise there were multiple floor boards suddenly missing in the middle of the barn. With a white with blue textured treasure chest sticking out.

Sophie brought up a sarcastic tone.

"Oh wow everyone! Look it is a platinum treasure chest. Who would have possibly expected to find something as amazing as that down here?!"

Then gave a chuckle and looked at Sandy. Who in return quickly went back in her device form.

Collin was already sitting on the ground next to the hole in the grond and slid the lid on top open.

Sophie sat next to him and Ronald was standing a short distance away from the chest. Still not really trusting this 'magic chest'.

Inside he found four books! Beside that also three more bags. He grabbed all the books because he expected they would likely be for him. But when he tried to open the first book he got a error of the system.

The host can't learn the skill book "poison massacre" because the host doesn't have a thief-type class. So he inspected all of the books instead realising they might not be all for him.

The first one had a light green cover with multiple crosses beside each other on the front of the cover. It got a silver border around it

Poison massacre:

Skill Book

Silver

Requires a thief type class.

All of the poisoned enemies will lose 60% of their hp when this skill is used,

The second book was a black book with a huge dark green skull onto it with a bronze border.

Poisoning:

Knowledge Book

Bronze

Requires a thief type class

Allows the person who learned it to poison their knives. Which has a 40% chance to poison who it hits. On top of this the percentage of the poison itself gets added to this number.

With this knowledge book the maximum poison one can apply is tier III.

The third book was purple with a rune drawn on it in dark blue color. The borders was a thin line of gold.

Magical Weapon Enhancement:

Knowledge Book

Gold

Requires a mage type class

Allows the person who learned it to enhance their magical weapon with mage runes.

The fourth book had two wrenches and the head of a robot with a arrow pointing up on it. This one also had a thin gold line as the border.

Robotic Upgrades:

Knowledge Book

Gold

Exclusive to the Robomechanic class.

Allows the person who learned it. To upgrade parts of their minions. Which can either improve their stats, or their skills.

Collin was overflowed with all of this information so he just used the robotic upgrade book and learned it.

He then handed over the magical weapon enhancement book to Sophie. Because well she is the only mage around here. So she gladly accepted it and thanked Collin and learned it.

"I wonder what those magic runes might do. It says here that it gives a new power to the weapon it is equipped to. But how do you equip them anyway?"

Ronald went to Sophie and asked or he could hold the staff for a moment. Sophie struggled for a bit but decided to give it to him either way. While keeping a eye on him. After all they met each other the homeless shelter. Not everyone there is who they seems, even if you know them for a while

Ronald inspected the staff and turned it around a bit looking for something.

"Ahh like expected there is a open slot here where something can be engraved into. Two slots even. Might this be because it is a true gold rarity?"

He then handed it back to Sophie who looked at the three slots and nodded.

"Yeah most likely I'll take a look at the description for a bit"

Like that she inspected her staff closely and like she thought it said it had 0/2 magical rune slots filled. Being a little disappointed that it is only 2 slots even though it is of a true gold rarity.

Collin then grabbed the poisoned and the poison massacre books. He piled them up and handed it over to Ronald. Who was suprised about this because so far he never really got anything from them. So he went ahead and learned both of the books.

"Ahh thanks a lot buddy. I thought you would just leave me to rot with just one skill." He laughed jokingly to Collin.

"I am fair of course I wouldn't do that. Beside that it is a stupid idea to have one weakened party member after all" he raised his arms up for a moment and then turned back to the treasure chest.

Afterwards Collin looked at what else is in the chest and he found three more bags. So he grabbed all three of the bags. This time around he actually inspected those three first before quickly learning it.

Lower Mage's Rune Bag

Contains 1-5 mage runes. Ranging from Copper to Silver rarity.

Robomechanic's Basic Parts Bag

Contains 1-5 part upgrades. Ranging from common to rare.

Thief's poison bag

Contain 1 - 3 poisons. Ranging from Tier I to III.

Turns out it was like Collin expected it was one bag for each of them. Which contains some of the much looked after items for the trio when their looting. So Collin handed everyone their respective bag.

Collin opened his own and got three parts from his bag.

Dexterity Leg.

Rare

Only equipable to cows, bulls, boars and horses

3 DEX

Adds the dexterity stat to the minion where this hoof is equipped to. While the minion only gets the three Dex points of this item once equipped. It will get more Dex points on any future level ups.

Agile Tail

Uncommon

Only equipable to minions who have a tail.

The minion can now use the attack agile tail. Which deals 30% of their ATK stat. Can be used from a short to medium range.

Sharp claws.

Common

Must be equipped onto either the front or lower legs.

2 ATK

"Guys I got a Silver rune! It is one that adds a small ATK buff when I am reaching 20% of my health."

Sophie yelled, Collin congratulated her. He is happy that there seems to be more progression to his goal. Of making Sophie the main dps of their group.

Ronald looked confused at the bag he got.

"So what is this? Is this like gambling. Randomely getting something without knowing for sure what?"

The two nodded and Ronald just looked at the bag sighed and opened it.

"I got two Tier II poisons, which got about 5 uses. Beside that it adds about 20% of Chance to the weapons. So I got about a 60% chance to poison the enemy when their hit with it." He explained, it seems like Ronald is also getting used to this new system by now.

Collin went ahead and opened the other bags he collected.

Now he got beside the components pouch, also a robotic crafting pouch and a robotic upgrading pouch.

He received 20 part screws and 10 part components. The 20 basic components got transferred over to this crafting pouch from the components pouch.

He received 10 crystals and 10 magic scraps which got transferred to the upgrades pouch.

Components pouch[21/50]

17 magic screws

2 ancient screws

1 common core

1 robo-cow head

Crafting Pouch[50/150]

20 part screws

20 part components

20 basic components

Upgrade pouch[20/50]

Looking at all of those pouches, Collin's hands started itching. He can't wait to craft something great from all of those components. Collin then decided to check out his stats once more.

The tribe now has all the items they were able to get at this structure. So they decided to walk back to their home and get back to the actual quest at hand. Now that they all got some great upgrades. So they followed the long mud road back to the village of Galley, with the sun shining brightly on their faces. It was about 2 pm already now after all.

Because of the heat they decided to take a path through the forest. This way they can stay in the shade. The forest was also next to Galley Village. So the path would also lead to their home village either way. So they followed the path which leads to a lake in the middle of the forest. Over this lake was a bridge that went to their village. So the trio went to cross over the bridge.

However once they stepped on the bridge they were greeted by three thugs blocking the way over the bridge and towards their village.
