[Settlement completed. Proceed.]
After logging in, Feng Bu Jue reviewed his previous rewards. The compensation from completing the Death Q&A scenario was surprisingly meager—the final settlement showed zero skill points gained. The 1000 points earned during the scenario didn’t appear on the summary list, though they had indeed been added temporarily. Currently, Feng Bu Jue’s skill points totaled a hefty 2580.
The contents of the skill card remained uncertain, but the biggest gain from this scenario was undoubtedly the *-500 bottle containing 20 tablets.
[Item Name：*-500 (20/20)]
[Type：Consumable]
[Quality：Flawless]
[Function：Cures all negative abnormal statuses]
[Background：Click to expand details]
This item’s background was actually a link. After clicking it, a detailed information window popped up on the game menu’s forefront.
[Item Number：*-500
Classification：Safe
Special Containment Procedures：*-500 must be stored in a light-proof, cold, and dry environment. To prevent abuse, only Level 4 personnel may use it with authorization.
Description：-500 is a small plastic container holding multiple red tablets. Each tablet, when ingested orally, effectively cures all diseases within two hours—the exact time depending on the user’s condition. Despite extensive experimentation, all attempts to synthesize -500’s core components have failed.]
This wasn’t the full story. Scrolling further revealed numerous records and appendices detailing past experimental requests and usage results of this “universal remedy.”
The drug was indeed, as Mr. You described, a “cure-all.” In some ways, it even transcended mere disease treatment. One record mentioned that *-500 could cure zombies already infected with mutations, transforming them back into humans.
After finishing the details, Feng Bu Jue stored the item away. He already had a basic understanding of Scp’s lore and the effects of this panacea. He’d merely checked to see how Terrifying Paradise might alter its setting. The results reassured him—no matter what condition Xiao Tan’s left hand might suffer, a single red pill would restore it.
Next, Feng Bu Jue headed to the storage room to claim his reward.
Recent streaks of obtaining underwhelming equipment had forced him to reassess his luck. Sometimes, rationalizing with phrases like “probability” was futile—his fortune was simply terrible. If he could catch a rare illness no one else in the world had ever had, how could he expect to luck into a flawless-grade weapon in this game?
Thus, Feng Bu Jue opted for the experience reward this time. His current experience cap was 15,000, and the 40% boost (6000 points) pushed him smoothly into Level 16.
He then moved to another glass column to draw his skill card.
[Name：Demon Bat Phantom]
[Skill Card Attribute：Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]
[Skill Category：Scouting]
[Effect：5-second cooldown. Activates only while sprinting at high speed. For three seconds post-activation, the player gains dual afterimages for cover. Before the skill ends, the player can directly pass through targets/obstacles ahead. (If the obstacle is a wall, there must be a gap wider than the player’s shoulder width within a two-meter fan-shaped area directly ahead. Completely sealed walls exceeding three-quarters of the player’s height cannot be traversed.)]
[Consumption：Stamina Value 100]
[Learning Conditions：Reconnaissance Proficiency E, Martial Arts Proficiency E]
[Background：Signature skill of an American football running back with the number 21. By shifting body weight and altering steps, it creates double afterimages in opponents’ vision, allowing passage through their blocks.]
“A high-speed evasion skill…” Feng Bu Jue mused, supporting his right elbow with his left hand while stroking his chin. “Hmm… feels like a waste for me to use this.” He muttered, “This skill seems better suited for Xiao Tan… His martial arts proficiency is D, but reconnaissance is only F. Bei Ling’s scouting is E, but her martial arts are F… Looks like only me and Si Yu qualify for this skill in the guild right now.” After brief consideration, he decided to temporarily store the skill card in the guild’s public warehouse, planning to discuss it with his teammates later.
After depositing the skill card into the guild warehouse, Feng Bu Jue headed toward the Scare Box. With his current skill points, purchasing items and equipment under Level 20 would be no problem.
He was already accustomed to the room filled with twisted mirrors and the large box at its center. Effortlessly navigating the menu, he browsed Scare Box items by category.
First, he searched for items of “Legendary” quality—more out of curiosity than intent to buy. It was like women lingering at luxury counters with predatory gazes—they might stare, but they wouldn’t necessarily buy.
Men had their moments too. Everyone wanted to glimpse the best and most expensive items, even if just for curiosity’s sake.
“Whoa! There actually is one!” Feng Bu Jue exclaimed, surprised to find a legendary-grade item.
[Name：Tessaiga]
[Type：Weapon]
[Quality：Legendary]
[Attack Power：Unknown]
[Attribute：None]
[Special Effect：None]
[Equipment Conditions：Martial Arts Proficiency A, Spirit Arts Proficiency A, Summoning Proficiency C, and Level 40+]
[Background：Legendary fang forged by Tōtōsai from the fang of the great demon Inu no Taishō. When infused with spiritual energy, Tessaiga transforms into its basic combat form—the Fang Blade. Depending on the user’s spiritual energy strength, skills, and proficiency, Tessaiga can shift into multiple forms, each with unique attributes and special effects.
Judging from the item description, aside from the extreme equipment conditions, everything else was unknown. Only by wielding the weapon and channeling spiritual energy to trigger its transformations could one see its true attributes.
However, its price tag—90,000 skill points—was prohibitive. As a non-tradable currency, accumulating 90,000 points required immense time investment, regardless of player skill. Scare Box items lasted only seven days, so this one would vanish soon.
Of course, if the scenario regenerated it later and no one claimed it, it would reappear in the Scare Box for another week.
After satisfying his curiosity with the legendary item, Feng Bu Jue began searching for practical equipment. He reflected: In mid-to-long-range combat, the Death Poker was irreplaceable. With this psionic weapon, even low Shooting Proficiency was irrelevant. Plus, he had an M1911A1 pistol as a conventional firearm—no need to waste points on more guns.
For melee weapons, though… A pipe wrench wasn’t exactly a killing tool. By mid-game, serious martial artists relied on standard weapons like swords, spears, axes, and halberds. Using a pipe wrench as a primary melee weapon would hinder martial arts proficiency growth. As for Folding Stool… Better left unmentioned.
He could also consider armor. The Echo Armor in his satchel had the advantage of occupying only a belt slot. Its background stated, “The user gains an invisible ‘sound’ armor by unfastening the belt.” As invisible armor, it could stack with conventional armor on the torso, legs, etc., for dual protection.
Thus, Feng Bu Jue focused on melee weapons and armor.
After twenty minutes of browsing, he found a suitable item—a steel dagger about sixty centimeters long.
[Name：Robot Must Die]
[Type：Weapon]
[Quality：Fine]
[Attack Power：Moderate]
[Attribute：Electric]
[Special Effect：Massively increased damage against mechanical enemies]
[Equipment Condition：Level 15]
[Background：Legendary dwarf craftsman "Orr Fulldead" accumulated many embarrassing stories throughout his life, each typically ending with the birth of a new weapon. This blade, for instance, was forged after Orr’s humiliating encounter with two shapeshifting robot con artists during his vacation at "Cake Mountain."]
