After reviewing the data on the screen, Feng Bu Jue heard another prompt in his ear:
[Your title has been updated to—Unpredictable Lunatic]
[You have reached level 19. Stamina value ceiling increased. Current: 1900/1900]
"This title definitely doesn’t sound like something a good guy would have..." Feng Bu Jue muttered, opening the game menu and shifting his gaze to the title ability section. The original [Know Your Enemy] had been replaced by a new skill. This time, it was an active ability, but the effect…
[Name: Here's a Move!]
[Special Ability Type: Active]
[Consumption: ???]
[Effect: Player may choose any already unlocked proficiency and randomly activate an active skill from that proficiency (cooldown ten points minutes, skill consumption depends on the skill’s effect, randomly selected skill effects will not exceed the player’s level or ability limits)]
[Background: Madness is humanity’s shortcut to unlocking their potential!]
"Self-castration is also the shortcut to mastering supreme martial arts, huh!" Feng Bu Jue shouted at the background description. "This is basically Pocky’s finger-shaking skill! Who knows what destructive beam might come out of shaking your finger this time! And it even says it won’t exceed my level and abilities!"
That said, having something was still better than nothing. Ever since obtaining [Know Your Enemy], Feng Bu Jue hadn’t encountered many normal bosses—either they were blind, or they ended up like Mr. You. He’d rarely even seen two bosses with decent data, and even those he’d never actually met. This skill at least served as an active combat technique. Whenever he faced an enemy, he could select "Martial Arts" and then [Here Comes a Move]. Something should happen, right?
It was around 11:20 PM now. Feng Bu Jue checked the social options first and found Si Yu and Bei Ling both offline. His friend list was once again filled with gray icons. This was a vacuum period—players connected in Non-Sleep Mode were mostly logging off after completing scenarios, preparing to switch to Sleep Mode channels.
Feng Bu Jue also planned to claim his rewards and log off. He pressed the elevator button. As the door opened, he entered the storage room.
"Come to think of it... The last two scenarios cost me a lot in equipment", he muttered, scanning the game menu as he approached a glass column. "But the proficiency gains were pretty solid. In the scenario encountering derivative beings, I upgraded spirit arts to E-rank. And in the last scenario, medical proficiency somehow increased a level too..."
[Please select your extra reward: One, randomly select equipment matching your level. Two, 50000 game currency. Three, 7600 experience points.]
"I won’t level up even if I take the experience... Ah... Let’s go with another piece of equipment", Feng Bu Jue said, once again giving in to temptation and choosing to draw equipment.
After the white light condensed, a gun-shaped outline appeared, making Feng Bu Jue’s eyes widen.
[Name: Moxxi’s Bad Temper]
[Type: Weapon]
[Quality: Fine]
[Attack Power: Medium]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Special Effect: Particularly effective against flesh]
[Equipment Condition: Shooting Proficiency D, Mechanics Proficiency E]
[Background: The gun’s heat isn’t overheating. The constant vibration isn’t a malfunction either... In short, please use it with confidence.]
Feng Bu Jue equipped the item with a calm expression, deliberately ignoring the ominous background description. "Alright... Now Brother’s got a 9mm Smg submachine gun. What more could I ask for..."
He approached the second glass column and claimed the scenario clearance reward.
[Name: Goblin Toxic Gas Mask]
[Type: Weapon]
[Quality: Fine]
[Attack Power: Weak]
[Attribute: Poison]
[Special Effect: Speaking or exhaling at close range may poison the target (this effect is active and can be used without displaying this facial equipment)]
[Equipment Condition: Apparatus Proficiency D, Level 17+]
[Background: Everyone dies, but medical insurance ensures you’ll die in bed. However, if your treatment costs become too high, strangers wearing masks might visit you... Unquestionably, Goblintech Insurance salespeople have no ethics whatsoever.]
"Heh... Heheh..." Feng Bu Jue had just obtained two fine-grade equipment pieces but felt less excited than he should. Carrying the gun and wearing the mask, he returned to the elevator chamber. Facing the mirrored wall, he looked at his purple-suited self. His appearance was... basically stuck somewhere between an antisocial lunatic and a deranged serial killer.
"Unpredictable Lunatic... That title really fits", he admitted, thinking the title seemed at least visually credible.
After completing another Nightmare-grade Singleplayer Survival Mode (Common), Feng Bu Jue’s data read:
Title: [Unpredictable Lunatic], Experience Points: 6736/19000, Skill Points: 3300, Game Currency: 422000.
Proficiencies: Universal D, Mechanics D, Scouting E, Martial Arts D, Shooting D, Medicine E, Spirit Arts E, Summoning N/A.
Satchel 6/10: Mario’s Pipe Wrench, Flashlight, Folding Stool, *-500 (19/20), Anti-Gravity Launcher, Moxxi’s Bad Temper.
Equipment: Jazzy Moves, Death Poker (Psionic Weapon), Echo Armor, Goblin Toxic Gas Mask.
Space 3/10: Puzzle Piece Card – Monkey, Puzzle Piece Card – Sunglasses, Prozbynna’s Vacuum.
Skills: [Hasty Repair], [Spirit Sense Body Technique], [Ice Alchemist’s Perseverance], [Here’s a Move!]
Truthfully, this data was incredibly strong. Compared to other players under level 20 in the game, his proficiencies and equipment would make others gasp in envy. His skills were slightly weaker but still decent.
Of course, this was just his overt strength—not reflective of his actual capabilities. If you threw him into a 1v1 Kill Mode against another level 19 player, it’d be a different story. Any blue-collar player from a studio specializing in shooting or martial arts proficiencies could probably defeat Feng Bu Jue.
Combat was like that—strength didn’t decide victory. Victory went to those who outperformed the strong.
After claiming his rewards, Feng Bu Jue chose to log off. He needed to prepare—buy new ammunition, browse the mall, and check if the [One-Shot Pistol] had spawned in Scare Box. But he’d handle these things in Sleep Mode to save time.
