Free Web NovelChapter 81: Earning Rewards
Igris dragged his tired body and placed his teammates in a safe place. After searching the corpse of the young man, he burnt him into ashes to remove the traces.
At this moment, in a cave. Igris ate some healing medicine and rested for a few hours. His body and spirit got better gradually. Although he wasn’t able to return to his prime, he felt much better than before. Lyon and the other team members had not woken up yet.
He sized up the Fire God Cannon in his hand and found it unbelievable. This Fire God Cannon was as thick as an adult’s thigh and was adorned by simple and unsophisticated patterns on its surface. It looked like the type of cannon that appeared during the steam age on Earth hundreds of years ago. Of course, their powers weren’t comparable.
Who would have thought that this ordinary-looking thing had such extraordinary power! The entire Tiger Vanguard team almost died because of its attack. If every Player had one of these, they would be invincible.
However, he knew that this was unrealistic. The Fire God Cannon used the Energy compression device to compress a huge amount of Energy into a small ball. Then, it released the ball. The Energy compression device was said to be something left behind by the previous era in the Ghadora Plains. It combined mechanisms, runes, and many other skills of that civilization. In short, it was extremely complicated to create.
Also, the materials used in this cannon had to withstand the compressed Energy. If not, the cannon would explode before the Energy was released. You would be hitting yourself instead of your enemy. Naturally, this kind of material wasn’t cheap. It was hard to find too. Hence, Fire God Cannon was extremely hard to create! Ordinary people couldn’t afford to use it! What did this all mean? The young man had an impressive background!
Forget it. He had already killed him. It was useless to think about all these now. Igris shook his head. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Besides the Fire God Cannon, Igris also found a ring when he was getting rid of the corpse. A ring that couldn’t be burnt by the flames of Energy!
’Is this a space ring?’ Igris thought of this possibility and used his spiritual power to explore the ring. He instantly felt his vision changing. He saw a space.
’Oh my god, it’s really a space ring. I’m rich now.’
Igris was elated. A space ring wasn’t an everyday item. Even Lyon, who was a Level 25 Player, didn’t have one. It was rare to hear of this item normally. Maybe it was only used on a small scale, as regular Players probably couldn’t afford to use them. You could tell how precious this was.
Igris happily played with the space ring as he counted the items inside. There were many things there: Crowns, pills, spiritual pills, ores, and more.
’Wow, this fellow is extremely wealthy!’
Igris exclaimed in his heart. He moved his thoughts and took out a ball of ore from the space ring. Why did he choose this ore and not other things? He couldn’t help it. This ore was glittering in gold and was exceptionally eye-catching.
"Damn it. It’s quite heavy!" When the ore landed on his hand, Igris felt his palm sinking down. His strength was quite powerful. He might have been caught off guard, but you could tell that the ore wasn’t light. It was the size of a basketball, and it was shimmering with gold light. Igris thought that it was gold at first, but now, he denied this thought. Gold wasn’t so heavy. This must be a special ore from the Ghadora Plains.
Igris kept the ore and turned his attention to his System prompts.
’[Congratulations! Host has reached Level 10!]’
’[Title Unlocked: 2-Star Player!]’
The second Energy nucleus on his spine lit up. Fire Energy poured into it happily. Because of his advancement, the injury on his body healed fairly quickly. When he felt the power coursing through his veins, Igris smiled.
Was this considered getting some good out of a misfortune? But, why did his Agility increase so much? Could it be that the Fire God Cannon dropped some Agility attributes? He was a little surprised, so he was making wild guesses.
Also, his Strength had increased by 10, Physique by 8, and Agility by 15 points. The Affinity attribute of these elements rose again.
His gaze turned to his scriptures and battle techniques.
’[Dark-Level High-Class Scripture: Wind Soul Scripture!]’
’[Dark-Level High-Class Battle Technique: Green Gale Claw!]’
Igris was delighted. The scripture and battle technique the young man dropped were all Earth Grade. Based on the price in the internal Guild Association web, these would cost at least a few hundred million.
This young man, even though he didn’t know what his name was, Igris suddenly felt grateful towards him... This was a good man! He came to send the Fire God Cannon, the space ring, the talents, and even scriptures and battle techniques... Was there a better person than him?
That was why killing someone and snatching their possessions was the correct path to becoming wealthy! Igris touched his chin as he pondered to himself. Suddenly, there seemed to be a dark aura surrounding his body...
"Igris..." At this moment, Lyon’s weak voice sounded from behind him... In an instant, everything went back to normal. It was as if nothing had happened.
"Leader, you’re awake!" Igris hurriedly got up and walked over. He looked at him in concern and asked, "Do you feel better?"
Lyon shook his head. "How’s everyone?"
"Same as you. However, Felix..." Igris stopped talking. Lyon immediately started looking for Felix’s figure in the cave. When he saw his broken leg, he visibly shook.
"Felix..." After some time, Jin, Lyra, and the rest of the teammates woke up one after another. They gathered around Felix. The atmosphere was silent, and the air was filled with sorrow.
When Felix opened his eyes, this was the scene he saw. The expressions on their faces caused his heart to drop. Then, he felt the excruciating pain in his leg.
"My leg..." Felix’s eyes were wide open. He was almost howling. This stimulation was too great for him.
"Felix, calm down!" Lyon shouted.
"My leg is gone. Damn it, my leg is gone. How do you expect me to remain calm? Huh? Tell me, how the hell do you expect me to remain calm?" Felix was a little out of control as he yelled at Lyon.
"It’s all my fault. If I didn’t choose to fight with him head-on, this might not have happened," Lyon suddenly said in a depressed tone.
"Leader, don’t blame yourself. No one will give up their spoils of war in that situation. Also, even if we had handed over the items to him, he might not have let us go. This is the world of Players. It has always been like this," Lyra consoled him.
"You chose to walk on this path. Felix, you should have thought of this day. Why are you blaming others?" Jin’s words were cruel, but it was the truth.
"Brother..." Yue couldn’t bear to hear his words.
Felix was stunned. Then, he started wailing. Actually, he knew that Jin was telling the truth, but he couldn’t accept it. Everyone kept quiet. Felix cried for a long time before he stopped gradually. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Jin is right. This is all my choice. I can’t blame anyone. Leader, I’m sorry. I lost control of my emotions just now."
Lyon moved the corners of his lips. In the end, he just sighed and patted Felix’s shoulder. "When we go back to Earth, go and find an office job. You won’t have to live on the edge every day anymore and worry about when you will die."
"Alright." Felix nodded rapidly.
The atmosphere was still heavy. Jin changed the topic and asked, "How did we survive?"
"Ask Igris. He’s the one who saved us," Lyon said.
"The young man thought that all of you had died from the explosion, so he sought his own death and came down from the sky. Noticing that I was just a Level 8 Player, he let down his guard. I managed to sneak an attack on him." Igris simplified everything.
"That’s it?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
"That’s it!" Igris nodded. "If not, what do you think happened?"
They were speechless. That was too... simple! The powerful character that almost wiped out their entire team was killed by Igris’s sneak attack. No matter how many times they thought about it, it sounded unbelievable. Could it be that the guy was just a newbie who managed to force the elite team into a tight corner because he had the frightening weapon, Fire God Cannon, and was also I in thesky?
"However, that fellow must have a good background. We need to be careful after we go back," Igris said as he gazed at them.
