Struggling painfully on the ground for a moment, Fang Bo slowly stood up, looking at his attribute information with lingering fear.
Health: 76/160 (+90)
Spirit: 10/25
The last strike took away 58 points of health. He might not be standing now if he hadn’t taken healing medicine beforehand.
Without a healer reincarnator nearby, every injury meant he had to consume medicine desperately. This time in the story world, he had exhausted all his stock.
Fang Bo’s inventory lacked medication besides the adrenaline that temporarily increased the constitution.
Glancing at the healing skill in his skill bar, he hoped its upgraded effect would be satisfactory.
He approached the demon Akimichi’s corpse and bent down to pick up the dropped chest.
[You have obtained a plot chest (orange).]
An orange-quality chest was two levels higher than the shield man’s blue one, indicating that the loot’s value would surely be enhanced.
It would be best if it contained some medication; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare act so recklessly again if faced with danger.
Ignoring the wailing Arlong on the ground, Fang Bo prepared to head to the battlefield of the two captains when the onmyoji lady and her two subordinates returned.
The injured three clearly indicated the intensity of the recent battle. However, they dealt with their opponents entirely.
“Since you’re back, let’s divide the spoils first.”
“In such a hurry?”
“I have a feeling this fight isn’t over yet.”
In truth, it had nothing to do with any feeling. He simply felt unsafe without medicine.
Usually, Captain Kuro’s battle should have ended long ago. The fact that there was still no news meant something unexpected had happened.
After considering it, he decided to divide the spoils first, hoping to strengthen himself.
They decided to take turns opening two plot chests and two killing chests after exchanging glances.
“I’ll go first.” The onmyoji lady eagerly opened the relics of the reincarnator.
[You are opening killing chest number 11402.]
[You have obtained 160 plot points.]
[You have obtained a damaged staff.]
[You have obtained a Lightning Skill Scroll.]
Seeing the three items, Ryuno was quite tempted.
The lightning skill could compensate for her lack of offensive means and could be used to perform combo techniques with Aka Tongue.
The staff could be used as a primary hand weapon, even just for the mental attribute points it provided.
Plot points were always needed, but specific circumstances had to be considered.
After some thought, Ryuno compensated her companion for the loss out of her pocket. “A D-level skill and a staff that needs repair; how about I give you 1,200 plot points?”
“Fair price, deal.”
Ryuno spent 1,200 plot points to acquire the magician’s two items.
As for Fang Bo’s gain, it was:
Plot points: 3305
Satisfied, he smiled and took his turn to open the shield man’s plot chest.
Good stuff should be saved for last; opening a basic one first might accumulate some luck.
[You are opening a plot chest (blue).]
[You have obtained 50 plot points.]
[You have obtained a silver-plated iron shield.]
[You have obtained a super defense skill scroll.]
Non-golden chests only provided three rewards, including plot points, unlike the former, which could yield four rewards.
The quantity was less, and the quality could have been better. In terms of actual value, they were not in the same league.
Knowing that Fang Bo was a newcomer, Ryuno took the initiative to explain. “E-level skill, trash among trash, it can only fool rookie reincarnators. The iron shield isn’t great either; it can be sold as a package.”
After a careful assessment, she said frankly, “With some effort, these two items could sell for about 400. I’ll give you 250.”
Fine, 250 it is. Fang Bo was too lazy to waste time selling things.
He didn’t quite understand the price offered by the onmyoji lady, but he knew one thing: his value to others was worth more than a few thousand plot points.
As long as Ryuno didn’t want to break their relationship, she wouldn’t play tricks for such a small amount of money.
“It’s my turn again.” She looked excited.
Well, opening chests usually made people happy.
Harvesting always brought joy.
[You are opening killing chest number 13680.]
[You have obtained 200 plot points.]
[You have obtained the Ring of Tenacity.]
[You have obtained the Bracers of Toughness.]
A bracer and a ring are both types of equipment Fang Bo currently lacks. After a glance at the attributes, he decided to take them.
Each reincarnation could wear equipment in the following slots:
Main Hand/Off-Hand, Necklace, Ring x2, Headgear, Clothing, Pants, Bracers, Cloak, Shoes
He needed a ring, clothes, pants, shoes, cloak, and bracers.
If he could craft the Germa tech armor, it would solve the clothing, pants, cloak, and shoes in one go. So, his current goal was to find a ring and bracers.
Regardless of their utility, at least he would fill the equipment slots.
Name: Ring of Tenacity
Quality: Excellent
Category: Ring
Durability: 25/25
Attribute Enhancement: Constitution +2
Usage Requirement: Spirit 8
Equipment Effect: Mental Resistance
Origin: Mushoku Tensei
Equipment Evaluation: It helps you survive better.
Mental Resistance (Passive Skill): Reduces the duration of mental negative states.
Seeing his partner’s gaze, Ryuno understood Fang Bo’s intention.
“Counting the 100 points from the chest distribution, an additional 800 points would do. Rings are relatively rare equipment.”
“Agreed.”
Wearing the ring, Fang Bo’s maximum health increased by 20 points, slightly enhancing his survivability.
Next was the bracers, which also had good attributes.
Name: Bracers of Toughness
Quality: Superior
Category: Bracers
Durability: 30/30
Attribute Enhancement: Constitution +1, Strength +1
Usage Requirements: Strength 6, Constitution 5
Equipment Effect: Stamina Extension
Origin: Mushoku Tensei
Equipment Evaluation: Don’t expect to lift a heavy axe; it simply helps you lift it.
Stamina Extension (Passive Skill): This skill enhances your hidden stamina, allowing you to wear equipment exceeding the strength limit.
Ultimately, Fang Bo spent 500 plot points to acquire the second piece of equipment, further increasing his health.
Of course, this was just an appetizer; the main event was the orange plot chest.
[You are opening a plot chest (orange).]
[You have obtained 200 plot points.]
[You have obtained the Piercing Crutches.]
[You have obtained the Demon Battle Technique.]
The first was an extraordinary weapon with piercing effects, and the second was a melee skill possessed by the plot character Akimichi.
Neither item suited their needs, so Ryuno took on the task of selling them.
“Weapons are worth 900, and the skill about 200.”
Their actual value might be slightly higher, but those matters were beyond Fang Bo’s concern. He simply accepted the Onmyoji lady’s offer.
Even if she sold them for a million, that was her skill, once bought, Fang Bo wouldn’t hold grudges over price differences.
Fang Bo’s stature wasn’t so petty.
Having supplemented his equipment, his stats saw significant improvement.
Name: Fang Bo
ID: 14552
Rank: Private Second Class
Merit: 2
Plot Points: 3455
Attribute Points: 0
Plot Worlds: 1
Title: Pirate Captain
Health: 52/140 (+70)
Status: Injured
Strength: 8 (+2)
Constitution: 10 (+3)
Agility: 6 (+1)
Spirit: 25 (+6)
Perception: 15 (+5)
Equipment: 3D Maneuver Gear IV, Dragoon, Irreversible Hometown, Exquisite Ring, Ring of Tenacity, Bracers of Toughness, Germa Detector IV
Without considering the plot world experience, his attributes had reached the limit for ordinary reincarnators.
Though he lacked some essential equipment, how many could gather everything? Having two protective items was already a great fortune.
With his health slowly rising to 52, Fang Bo and Ryuno headed to the final battleground.
There, they found Krieg, who had somehow regained his golden armor, brutally beating the poor Captain Kuro.
Silent Steps was decisive but couldn’t be used repeatedly without interruption. Kuro was forced to stop occasionally.
Whenever that happened, the pirate admiral launched fierce attacks. The battle gun’s power was explosive, capable of causing explosions on contact.
A slight mistake earlier almost cost Kuro his life in the resulting smoke.
[Krieg (Pirate Admiral)]
[Attack Tendency: High]
[Attribute Tendency: Strength, Constitution]
[Feature: Herculean Strength]
[Threat Assessment: Highly Dangerous]
“This is your target,” the onmyoji lady said nervously, swallowing as she glanced at a corpse on the ground.
It was Sam’s body, unclear why he had died, but it was likely related to the two individuals before them.
Upon Fang Bo’s arrival, the two captains reacted differently. Krieg’s face turned pitch black, looking as if he had lost his mother.
“Is Akimichi dead?” he asked.
“Yes.” Fang Bo raised his hand and fired a shot in response.
The regular bullet from the Dragoon couldn’t affect him. It needed to hit the head or use special bullets.
“Hmph, what a bunch of useless idiots,” Krieg cursed his two subordinates, displaying cold-hearted indifference.
Glancing at Ryuno, Fang Bo asked quietly, “Can you summon your Shikigami?”
“No, both are on cooldown.”
Understandable, she couldn’t have killed two reincarnators so quickly without using her full strength.
Shikigami summoning had a long cooldown, similar to his giant summoning.
Without summons, how would they fight such a formidable foe?
The answer was simple: attack his weak point.
Wearing heavy armor would significantly reduce agility so that they would completely deprive him of his mobility.
Ammunition Master loaded, ice bullet fired!
Target: The ground beneath Admiral Krieg.
