Luke really had pulled something legitimate this time. Unfortunately, it was still useless trash.
He had wanted to toss the bottle of shampoo straight away, but after seeing its excellent quality, he put it into his storage space instead, counting it as part of the proceeds from the Dead Man’s Chest.
"I refuse to believe I can’t pull anything good!"
Luke encouraged himself, took out all the remaining Dead Man’s Chests, and prepared to open them all in one go.
[You have obtained Conditioner ×1]
[You have obtained Oni Chichi Complete Blu-ray Collection ×1]
[You have obtained 1,800 Endspace Coins]
[You have obtained Kuroinu Complete Figure Box Set ×1]
[You have obtained 2,100 Endspace Coins]
...
After that string of blood-pressure-spiking chest openings, Luke finally brought the ordeal to an end. He seriously suspected those Explorers had deliberately stuffed so much garbage into their storage spaces.
Honestly, he could understand the Pleasure Fairy Wand. But carrying Blu-rays around in a mission world? Could they even watch them?
Fortunately, he had also pulled two somewhat useful items, which soothed his anger a little.
[Godslayer]
Origin: Endspace
Quality: Purple
Equipment Type: Sniper Rifle
Magazine Capacity: 10
Usage Requirements: 15 Mental, 20 Strength, Basic Firearms Mastery
Details: An Endspace-produced sniper rifle acquired by an Explorer from a chest. It possesses exceptional adaptability, and its damage ceiling depends on the user.
Equipment Skill 1: Focus (Passive)
Skill Effect: When using Godslayer to aim and lock onto an enemy, the user can enter a focused state more easily, improving shooting accuracy.
Equipment Skill 2: Godslayer (Active)
Skill Effect: Consumes a certain amount of Soul Source to activate Godslayer, attaching the user’s mental power to the bullet. This enhances the bullet’s velocity and power, and allows it to harm spiritual entities. The higher the user’s Mental attribute, the greater the increase in power.
Cooldown: 5 seconds
Rating: 195
Evaluation: An exceptional sniper rifle. It simply needs the right person.
During the earlier battle, Luke had dodged the sniper’s bullets several times. Later, he had even tried taking them head-on, yet the man had still failed to injure him. For a while, Luke had thought the sniper’s gun was simply lousy.
That was why he had hesitated when he felt a gun barrel inside the Dead Man’s Chest. But after drawing it, the weapon’s details genuinely impressed him.
Just as Endspace’s evaluation said, that sniper had been far too weak. He was not the right person. There was nothing wrong with Godslayer itself; it was an outstanding Purple-quality ranged main weapon, perhaps even the most valuable weapon in that Explorer team.
That team clearly could not have afforded something like this. The description even noted that the sniper had gotten absurdly lucky and pulled it from a world-clearance reward chest. Even the Purple-quality sword their leader used was probably only an entry-level Purple weapon. Otherwise, Luke would not have dared to take it head-on so recklessly.
If it had been Prison Demon’s sharpness and toughness, Luke definitely would not have dared to resist it with his body. Even with Armament Haki, his arms and legs would have been cut off.
Luke had also noticed in the earlier battle that, aside from the provocatively dressed female mage, the Explorers on the other side all had mediocre Mental attributes. That sniper’s Mental attribute had only barely met Godslayer’s basic usage requirement, so he had been completely unable to bring out its true power.
Without using its skill, Godslayer’s basic firepower was actually inferior to the top sniper rifles in the world of Kengan Ashura. It was merely an ordinary sniper rifle, with a muzzle velocity likely below eight hundred. Its power was genuinely nothing special.
But with the bonus of a high Mental attribute, it ceased to be an ordinary sniper rifle. It became a sniper rifle with supernatural power. Not only would its destructive force rise dramatically, it could also strike spiritual entities. It was a quality ranged weapon that Explorers could acquire relatively early on.
Unfortunately, while Luke was proficient in every kind of martial art and had been born into a world more technologically advanced than those most Explorers came from, he was not particularly skilled with technology-based weapons. He had never been interested in firearms since childhood, so he could only be said to know how to shoot; his accuracy was difficult to guarantee.
So he planned to use this gun casually in this world if the situation called for it, then sell it after he returned.
If he absolutely needed a ranged weapon, he would rather use a more "primitive" weapon, such as a bow.
Besides Godslayer, he had drawn another relatively valuable item from the Dead Man’s Chests.
[Giant’s Heart]
Origin: Native World No. 213126
Quality: Rare
Equipment Type: Accessory
Usage Requirement: 15 Constitution
Details: A pendant crafted by Dwarven artisans, housing their blessing for the giants. After equipping it, Constitution +1. (This effect only applies when Constitution is below 30.)
Equipment Skill 1: Immovable as a Mountain (Passive)
Skill Effect: After equipping Giant’s Heart, the Pioneer gains the Immovable as a Mountain effect. The control effects of control-type skills used against the Pioneer are reduced by 50%. (This effect weakens as the enemy’s strength increases.)
Equipment Skill 2: Giant’s Heart (Passive)
Skill Effect: After equipping Giant’s Heart, the Pioneer gains +5% maximum Life Source, 20% faster natural Life Source recovery, and a 50% bonus to recovery received from skills.
[Notice: This skill will become ineffective once the wearer’s Constitution exceeds 50.]
Rating: 100+
Evaluation: A tank’s favorite—stack the thickest armor and take the nastiest hits.
Luke ignored Endspace’s cheeky evaluation. Although this was only Rare-quality equipment and its attribute bonus was no longer useful to him, the passive effects of its two skills were quite good and were things he could use right now.
Besides, a max-rated Rare main-tank accessory was worth around ten thousand Endspace Coins—far better than shampoo or anything like that.
Finally, Luke totaled up what the six Explorers had brought him. Aside from one Purple and one Rare piece of high-value equipment, they had also provided 5,400 Endspace Coins in scattered amounts, plus one Small Inheritance Crystal. The combined proceeds came to roughly over forty thousand Endspace Coins, which left Luke quite satisfied.
Now he truly understood the old saying: murder and arson make you rich.
In his previous world, he had fought so hard to defeat Shen Wulong and conquer the entire world, yet excluding the other rewards, he had only received around forty thousand Endspace Coins.
But now, all he had done was get up early, have some tea, and cut down a few Explorers from the opposing faction—and he had earned this much.
Luke realized that this world held an enormous amount of hidden opportunity. If he seized his chances properly, he might get filthy rich from a single world.
Setting aside his pleasant fantasies for the future, Luke took out the final Purple chest. It had dropped from Upper Rank Six.
Having already been baptized by the garbage in the Dead Man’s Chests, Luke did not hold much hope. He opened it casually.
To his surprise, brilliant radiance burst forth from the Purple chest, just like the moment a game he had played in the past was about to give him a good pull!
When the light and chest vanished together, a pair of blood scythes appeared in Luke’s hands. After checking their attributes, he was somewhat surprised. They were actually a reasonably well-rated Purple-quality dual-wield main weapon.
Even if the weapon category was relatively niche, he could sell them for at least fifteen thousand after returning.
After storing away the blood scythes, Luke stretched and lay atop the haystack, looking up at the sky.
Looks like my luck is pretty good after all, huh?
Luke was already looking forward to the rewards for killing the other Upper Ranks. He believed that, with his luck, every one of them would yield Purple equipment!
If he killed Muzan, even Legendary equipment would not be a dream!
