Chapter 686: Peculiar method of receiving battle spoils

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Although trio attempted to dissect this peculiar scenario, they hadn’t heard of anything identical to this before and were unable to come up with a precise analysis.

At this moment, Sheyan suddenly remembered something and asked Reef.

"Oh right, in the previous world, didn’t you accept several tribal servants?" How many managed to survive?"

Recalling this matter, Reef’s brows hopped as he replied.

"I’m only left with one, I’ve relinquished the rest."

"Relinquished?" Sheyan displayed utmost astonishment. After all, Reef’s servants exhibited pretty outstanding aptitude as well as loyalty, it definitely wasn’t like Sheyan’s first servant, the useless Charlie. Furthermore, it wasn’t like the current Jinkuang, who treated Sheyan like his slave on the contrary....

Reef helplessly sighed towards Sheyan’s inquiry.

"You think all servants are as easy to provide for like Jinkuang? Battle type servant requires loyalty degree, morale…...and most importantly, I must provide equipments to enhance their survivability and battle capabilities. Otherwise, how could I use them to go up against others? Just a few times of reviving them would leave me completely bankrupt! Although our current finances are much better than previously, nurturing a single one is already my limit."

Speaking till here, Reef unexpectedly revealed a delighted countenance.

"However, I am rather satisfied with this servant. From the looks of it, I can guess he belongs to an exceptionally rare category and is worthy of forsaking the other tribal servants."

When Sheyan heard that, his eyes twinkled. After slight pondering, he asked.

"Could it be, that guy?"

Reef burst into hearty laughters in response.

"That’s correct, it is that guy."

"Oi Oi Oi, can you scums stop talking in alien tongues?"

Mogensha only became increasingly baffled as the conversation went on. He was the unluckiest of the lot in the previous world, and hadn’t a clue what they were speaking about.

Sheyan chuckled and replied.

"Still remember you were uselessly paralyzed by a venom? That venom is secreted out by a type of creature, known as the Mutated Arachnidacrab. Its main effect is paralyzing and subsequently dissolving their enemy’s flesh. Furthermore, it is slow to take effect, with the objective of allowing the victim’s system to continue sustaining life; thereby ensuring the freshness of their prey. One of Reef’s servant was similarly poisoned, and fortunately with the slow potency nature of the venom, he was transferred with Reef back to the realm for treatment."

When he spoke till here, Sheyan had roughly affirmed his own conjecture and spoke with greater conviction.

"By the looks of it, that servant must’ve similarly been associated with the Ndipaya tribe. Possibly, one with excellent potential of avatism like Mbenga and the old chief, except that it wasn’t explicitly displayed yet....therefore, the best scenario is, Reef may have acquired someone comparable to an intelligent Licker as his servant!"

As he spectated Sheyan’s and Mogensha’s expectant gazes, Reef shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"Honestly speaking….I’m not too sure myself. That fella is merely a cocoon in my personal room. There isn’t a single change in his appearance. Except initially, I needed to spent utility points, potential points and even achievement points to restore this servant’s body, or should I say, renourish him. I’ve never felt so wasteful before, squandering so much capital…..oh right, If I lack money, you guys must please, come to my aid."

While chatting, the trio suddenly noticed clear glows congealing across the bodies of the two deceased unlucky brats. Soon, a ring and an accessory projected out and hovered above the heads of the trio before slowly vanishing away.

In the midst of their confusion, their nightmare imprints transmitted the following notifications.

[ Slayer rewards drawn…...released to all participating contestants ]

[ Please check your own harvests ]

Sheyan thought pensively upon experiencing this new rewarding method.

"This is a very new and original allocating method. Although mentioned as releasing to everyone, it merely distributes the equipments acquired. Therefore, if a lucky brat who acquires the equipment and decides to keep it hidden in the dark, it would be too easy to do so!"

"The benefits of this, is that all participating battle members receives a chance of acquiring the loot. Like support type contestants, long distance gunners, mage type contestants…..they wouldn’t have to worry about the dropped keys being looted by others. On the contrary, it would lead to individuals selfishly slacking off while receiving the big bonuses..."

"So, when is this allocation method best suited for? Yes, those massive scale wars like the Avatar World!! Where the slightest distraction can lead to one’s demise on the battlefield of torrential hails of bullets and spells! Seems like we’ve unknowingly initiated this model eh?"

In this instant, Brother Black exclaimed.

"I received the accessory!"

Sheyan then checked his personal storage and declared.

"Oh, I got the ring, but it’s just a dark-blue grade."

Following that, they displayed the two equipments out.

[ Pinky-Promise Bone Ring ]

[ Rarity: Dark-blue ]

[ Attempts at unsealing left: 0 ]

[ Origin: Erased ]

[ Property: Agility +7 ]

[ Property: Occasionally, you hear the whimpers of the ghost spirit of this bone ring. When that happens, the enhancing properties of this ring will diminish and transform into negative properties (for example, +7 agility changing to -7 agility) ]

[ Material: Calcium phosphate, Organic matter ]

[ Weight: 7 g ]

[ Equipment usage requirements: Strength 10 points, agility 15 points ]

[ Description: This is the finger bone of a pitiful child. Before being murdered, he naively engaged in a pinky promise with the murderer, then.....was killed in cold blood by. Henceforth, the spirit of the child lingered on in this world, issuing a hollow and childish desire to continue pinky promising with others ]

[ Evaluation: After three consecutive failed attempts to unseal his spirit, the child spirit became utterly disappointed in humans of the external world; thereby conjuring into a grievous soul that eternally seals himself. You, have permanently lost the chance…...to locate the true murderer and unlock the potential of this ring! ]

******************************************

[ Polluted Whip of Unclear Liquid ]

[ Origin: 120 days of Sodom ]

[ Rarity: Black ]

[ Equipment type: Accessory ]

[ Property: Increases or decreases charm when entering a new world (Drawing fluctuates between -6 points and 6 points) ]

[ Property: All attributes +1 ]

[ Addons: Handle grip ]

[ Weight: 1.34 kg ]

[ Length: 81.4 cm ]

[ Active ability: Flogging – This ability can be used on the wielder, or your own or ally’s servants/summoned creatures ]

[ Detail: When ‘Flogging’ yourself, you will inflict yourself with 1% - 11% damage of your total health. For allied servants/summoned creatures who witnessed this sight of personal flogging, they will become stimulated and have their HP temporarily enhanced by 33% ]

[ Detail: When ‘Flogging’ the servant/summoned creature, you mistreat them and kills them. However, you and all other allied servant/summoned creature will sink into stimulated hysteria – HP will decline at a rate of 4 HP/second, but attack and movement speed increased by 50%. Duration of 30 seconds or until HP value drops lower than 20% of total health (this effect will only be effective on servants/summoned creatures) ]

[ Warning: If you become infatuated and flog yourself excessively, it might lead to your personal demise as well ]

[ Description: Boundaries are blurred between pain and pleasure. To certain individuals or creatures, this whip is equivalent to a pleasure artifact. But to others, this whip should belong in the lowest rung of the underworld ]

********************

Without a doubt, the ring was claimed by Mogensha. Though it seemed rather strange and nefarious, if the negative effects truly became ridiculously thorny, he could still offer it to old man Odin to upgrade his ‘Flesh Explosion’ ability.

As for that accessory brimming with debauchery, or frankly speaking, just a whip, it was claimed by Reef. With a righteous tone, he declared.

"I will use holy light to redeem this depraved weapon."

Actually, both Reef and Brother Black held abilities to summon cannon fodder creatures. It was a pretty excellent idea for Reef to ‘abuse’ a single sage-scarab, and thereby enhancing his other summoned scarabs.

However, one could observe that Brother Black’s thick lips, beneath his puffing cigar, and curled into a sinister smirk. It wasn’t hard to decipher what sort of vulgar ideas he had in his heart…...probably an image of a scarlet eyed Reef, puffing and huffing, as he ruthlessly flogs the perky bottoms of a voluptuous woman.

Up till now, the trio hadn’t received a single report regarding this world, or even the method to return to the nightmare realm. This was probably due to the side effects of utilizing a ‘Space-time Wormhole’ to invade a world.

After contemplating a little, they decided to locate any storyline residence to inquire. Naturally, the Hummers that fetched Joseph and Kaoyi here, would make the perfect transportation tool.

However, just when the trio was nearing the Hummers, sounds of crashes abruptly echoed in from a distance.

Not even ten seconds later, the glass window panel of a nearby KFC was shattered into smithereens!
