Chapter 13 Tallying the Spoils

Li Ang returned home safe and sound, and began to count his gains.

Mission Reward 1: 300 additional experience points.

Inside the Longheng Shopping Center, a total of five vengeful ghosts, plus Ao Yong and the lost player Mishi Feiting's souls, died under the Evil Extermination Array's talisman.

Since the search for the talisman was a collaborative effort, the experience points for killing the vengeful ghosts were divided among Li Ang, Liu Wudai, and Plague Doctor.

Among them, Li Ang contributed the most, so his share of the kill experience was the largest, reaching 270 points.

Mission Reward 2: 500 game coins.

Given the difficulty of this mission, this number was not surprising.

Player Overall Performance: S, game coins and experience points increased to 160%.

This rating was because Li Ang pojiě (unraveled) the hidden background of the scenario mission, and also because he didn't betray his teammates, but chose to wipe out all the hostile ghosts in one fell swoop.

500 game coins multiplied by a factor of 1.6 equals 800 points. Adding this to his previous savings, Li Ang's game currency balance officially broke through the 3,000 mark, reaching as high as 3,460 points.

And the total of 570 experience points, multiplied by a factor of 1.6, amounted to 912 points, enough to fill the Lv6 experience bar.

Given the player's overall performance, a new trait has been triggered.

Hearing the system prompt, Li Ang nodded. Players above Lv5 would be judged by the system and given different traits based on their performance in missions.

The system projected the scene of Li Ang drawing the second talisman on the fifth floor, and prompted:

Careful and Cautious: +1 Perception

The Perception attribute is a good thing; it allows you to anticipate the enemy. The more, the better.

Mission Reward 3: Random quality, random item * 1

"It's time for the people to enjoy the treasure opening moment."

Li Ang took a deep breath, rushed into the bathroom under Chai Cuiqiao's puzzled gaze, washed his hands back and forth several times with soap, dried them with a paper towel, and frantically rubbed his palms together in front of his chest, like a fly rubbing its hands.

He closed his eyes, concentrated, stepped in the Big Dipper pattern, clasped his hands together, and turned them three circles to the left and three circles to the right. He shouted, "Grant me strength!"

Open!

Clicking on the reward treasure chest in the backpack bar, a white light flashed, and a long object appeared inside the box.

The object was roughly rectangular, one meter and three centimeters long, five centimeters wide, and three centimeters high. It was made of metal, with a red and white exterior, and quite heavy. Holding it in his hand felt like carrying a piece of steel.

Name: Swiss Army Knife 300

Type: Tool

Quality: Common

Effect: Has 300 tools including a main knife, small knife, scissors, bottle opener, wood saw, screwdriver, 200g capacity USB drive, curling iron, immersion heater, lipstick, lip balm, tweezers, lighter, surgical pliers, shoehorn, toothbrush, toenail clippers, etc.

Equipment Requirements: Strength attribute greater than or equal to 6

Note: In order to catch up with competitors' new product, "Want Your Life 3000," the Ruitu (Swiss-earth) Company specially developed this Army Knife 300. It not only has three hundred complete small tools, but when necessary, the entire army knife can be thrown out like a brick to injure people. It can be described as an essential tool for home travel.

"..."

Li Ang looked at the huge steel plate that was more than a meter long, speechless for a long time, and fell into contemplation.

"What the hell is a Ruitu (Swiss-earth) company trying to rip off Switzerland? What's your relationship with Run Tu? It's fine if there's a bottle opener and screwdriver, but why is there a curling iron and an immersion heater?"

"Also, why is the toothbrush placed between the shoehorn and the toenail clippers? This will definitely cause cross-contamination, right? That's disgusting. Did you really consider the user's feelings? I'm going to complain!"

"And the weight of this steel bar is too exaggerated, isn't it? The strength attribute in the equipment requirements is greater than or equal to 6, which clearly means that you need at least 6 points of strength to lift it up, right?! You can kill someone if you throw it, bro."

Li Ang narrowed his eyes, indulged in a long rant about the one-meter-long Swiss Army Knife, and finally, against his will, put it into his backpack.

Although this thing looks funny (it's probably actually meant to be funny), it can still play a special role in some special situations... maybe.

After all, it's not very convenient to take out a Swiss Army Knife that is one meter and three centimeters long.

Mission Reward 4: One free attribute point

The above four items were all the mission rewards for this mission. Li Ang clicked the upgrade button, watching the green experience bar of Lv6 slowly fill up.

Current level is Lv7, experience bar is 444/700

After the upgrade, he was gifted one free attribute point, plus the mission reward, Li Ang had a total of two free attribute points, which he respectively invested in intelligence and agility.

The reason why he let the attribute points grow as evenly as possible was also after reading some players' personal experience posts on the luntan (forum).

One player had suffered from leg diseases since childhood and had been bullied due to his walking difficulties. After becoming a player, he first tried to cure his lame leg, and then added all the free attribute points to agility.

The agility attribute was as high as 10 points, while the strength and physique attributes were still only 5.

The consequence of this was that once the player engaged in strenuous exercise such as running and jumping, he would involuntarily strain his tendons.

Adding only strength without adding agility or physique would turn him into a clumsy muscle lump.

Adding only intelligence and perception without adding physique would often lead to excessive brain use and fainting.

Therefore, the luntan (forum) generally recommended that most players should develop the six major attributes evenly at low levels, and then specialize after confirming their specialization at high levels.

As a result, Li Ang's player panel is as follows.

Maniacal Ripper · Li Risheng

Lv7. Experience bar is 444/600

Strength: 8 [Level of top weightlifters]

Agility: 8 [Level of top sprinters]

Intelligence: 8 [Genius]

Physique: 7 [Level of professional marathon runners]

Perception: 8 [Perception level of top hunters]

Charm: 4 [Ordinary appearance, slightly strange speech and behavior]

Equipment: Strange Eyeball, Face-Changing Mask, Soul-Guiding Banner, Steel Staff, Swiss Army Knife 300

Backpack Bar: AK47, Grenade, ranshaoping (incendiary bottle), Flashlight, Fire Rat Fur, Strange Corpse, Plague Ghost Skin, White Bone Spine...

Skill Bar: Adrenaline Activation Method, Ripple Breathing Technique, Shrapnel Scattering

Game Currency: 3460

Judging from the panel alone, Li Ang's physical fitness had already stood at the pinnacle of modern ordinary humans. Even if he were dragged to the Olympics now, he could win a few gold medals if he tried.

"We still have to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically in an all-round way."

Li Ang stood in his own living room and did chest expansion exercises, occasionally striking poses like Bruce Lee, performing a few straight punches, yelling "Ah-da, ah-da" like a ghost, and wiping his nose as if he were very dashing.

He seemed to have completely forgotten that there was such a thing as a "charm attribute"...
