Chapter 148 Intermission 34

Feng Bujue selected EXP for the additional reward without hesitation, and the puzzle card that he drew was Puzzle Card: Dog. Once he obtained the card, a possible combination appeared in his mind. He retrieved the other puzzle cards from his storage and held them in his hands. He opened the menu and selected the ‘combine’ option.

“Found one possible combination.”

A new window appeared on the menu, and the combination was similar to the one in Feng Bujue’s mind. The card set was ‘Taz the Tasmanian Devil’, a classical cartoon character from Warner Bro’s Looney Toons. It could be made from Puzzle Card: Dog and Puzzle Card: Spin.

Feng Bujue hesitated for a moment. Since he already had Puzzle Card: Monkey and now with the card, Dog, he felt like the possibility of combination was endless. For example, the three Generals, Momotaro, twelve Zodiac, and so on… Both of these cards were part of the combination, and these were card sets that would require quite a number of cards, so their corresponding equipment would be better in quality.

However, after some thought, he decided to create the card set and see what kind of item he could get from a two-card card set.

“You are choosing to create the card set: Taz the Tasmanian Devil. Please confirm.”

Feng Bujue clicked confirm, and the two Puzzle Cards dissolved into white light. A new card then appeared in his hand. In terms of size, it was no different from a normal Puzzle Card, the size of a Tarot card, and it had pictures drawn on both sides. But there was a difference on the card edge. The card appeared to have the same thickness as the rest, but the picture somehow had a holographic feel to it. Plus, the card itself felt heavier than before.

“Card set created. Would you like to trade it in for equipment?” the system asked.

Since this was his first card set, he was not going to sell it. In any case, the equipment traded for the card set would have the lowest quality of excellent. Feng Bujue was not afraid of being scammed. He chose yes again, and the card in his hand disappeared in a pool of light.

On the other side of the storage room, a column of white light appeared, and it materialized into a new glass tube. Feng Bujue walked toward it, and the equipment inside was forming. This time, the size was quite large. He took it out to take a look.

Item Name: Persephone’s Magic Vacuum

Item Type: Weapon

Quality: Excellent

Offense Points: None

Element: None

Special Effect: Able to drain Life Points from monsters and recover the same amount in the player. Draining ratio is 0.5 percent per second. Ineffective on enemies who are dead, have no corporeal form, are mechanical, and Boss creatures. The vacuum will not store Life Points, so the draining effect is instantaneously. If the player’s Life Points are full, then there will be no recovery.

Equip Requirement: Level 20, General Ability D, Workmanship D

Remark: Persephone is the maid who serves in Castlevania. Other than fighting off the intruders with her Taekwondo, her most common chore is cleaning the castle. Persephone’s magic vacuum is the most effective way to clean up the blood stains on the ground or wall. This has much to do with the Baron’s habit of slamming glassware on the ground. Whenever the Baron entertained a visitor called Belmondo, he would toss the glass filled with blood on the ground and engage in a battle. This has continued for hundreds of years, and the true purpose of the whole charade is unknown.”

“Er… Now that it mentions it… The glass is slammed in Symphony… Harmony and even Aria…” Feng Bujue thought back to the details of the game. “And the meaning is indeed unclear…”

Due to the level limitation, he stored the equipment in his storage for now.

The battle value of this weapon was quite high, and its effect was useable even at the latter stages of the game. Furthermore, the equipment was not bound to the user; it was useable by anyone who met the requirements. Theoretically speaking, every member of the group could equip it. So… in a scenario where there was a high number of mobs, the team could use this item in turn to recover their Life Points. With no member that specialized in the Medic mastery, this thing was much more trustworthy than potions because the effect would not decrease from repeated use.

After everything was done, Feng Bujue returned to the log-in lobby and inspected his current status.

He clicked the social option on the touch screen. In his friend list, only two names were lit up. One was naturally Flashes of Sword. The guy’s status was still free. He was probably busy dealing with the arrangements of Hard Drive 2455-A-1. The other person who was online was Long Aomin, but unfortunately, Brother Long was already in-game. He had probably gotten on when Feng Bujue was already in-game and decided to queue up alone.

Initially, Feng Bujue had planned to queue up for Killing Game alone, but he had ended up being invited by Flashes of Sword to join his team. In the scenario, he did not come across the enemy team at all before ending the scenario. Without even realizing it, the PvP scenario had turned into a team survival scenario. The system had quite a good eye when giving the players their titles. The title, Plot Explorer, suited Feng Bujue a little bit too well.

Feng Bujue had a realization after so many hours of gaming that the mode he was most familiar with and, coincidentally, the mode that he preferred was Team Survival Mode. In terms of the horror effect, it was Survival Mode that was more standard. To hope for the other team to scare him in a Killing Game was a bit too preposterous.

He clicked the few buttons on the touch screen and decided to queue up for a Team Survival Mode alone.

“Feng Bujue, Level 18

“Please select the game mode that your team wants to join.

“You have selected the Team Survival Mode (Normal), please confirm.

“Confirming. The team size has been randomized: A team of six.

“Your team has joined the team queue. Currently searching for other readied players or teams.

“Search complete. Team full.

“Adjusting nervous connectivity, generating the scenario…

“Please wait a moment. Downloading.”
