“Scenario Cleared Reward: Puzzle Card x2

“Calculation complete. Please continue.”

After the scenario ended, before the countdown finished, Feng Bujue chose to return to the log-in lobby because after the three minutes of Descent of War Demon was over, he would drop down to one percent Life Points, 0 Sorcery Point, and 0 Stamina Points.

Even if he stayed, in the remaining 180 seconds, he couldn’t do anything. From the rating review, the reward for this Killing Game wasn’t that lucrative, that was probably because he only completed the main quest.

Regarding the two side quests... the first, ‘Join Classic and end the war’ was naturally impossible to finish. When Musashi was building the Lego Fugu Gladiator, Feng Bujue was considering this problem.

His speculation was: If he wanted to complete this side quest, the best way was to not meet this ‘Prophet’ NPC, and should the meeting be inevitable, do not say anything in his presence...

Then, the scenario would not extend to involve the Four Pillars of Divinity and the players’ knowledge would be limited to the Toy Story setting of the scenario. Then, the players only needed to follow the series of side quests after ‘assisting Jazz and Nightbeat on their patrol and investigate the Lego House’ to push the plot forward and eventually win the war.

Of course, this ‘victory’ would be a show made by the system. Once the players left, the Prophet would reset everything. But it was pointless to talk about that now because he didn’t complete the mission since he didn’t go back to report to Optimus Prime.

“Hmm... Oh well. With this EXP plus the forty percent additional EXP, it should be enough to push me up to level 30,” Feng Bujue said and clicked ‘accept’ on the screen and answered Xiao Tan’s invitation to his conference room. He did not hurry to the storage room to get the reward. After all, he had already decided to grab the extra EXP. It didn’t matter when he got it. Therefore, he pressed the button on the elevator to go to the conference room and walked out from the elevator.

“Jesus... What’s happening here? Are we going to sacrifice Xiao Tan to the Gods?” Once Brother Jue walked into the room, he saw Xiao Tan whose face and body were covered in pieces of snacks as he sat at the table with an unhappy expression.

“This is not that bad. If one can fight in this room, you’d enter a WWE level of fighting scene,” Xiao Tan grumbled sadly.

“Sounds like someone has something to complain about,” Laughing Soul added.

“Nope!” Xiao Tan quickly said, “Absolutely not!”

Feng Bujue took few steps forward to whisper the question to Passing Rain, “What is going on with these two...”

“No idea.” Passing Rain answered, “And you better not ask.”

“Hmm...” Feng Bujue turned around and sat down like this was nothing. “Later, after getting the reward, I’ll level up to level 30. Should we consider trying out a Team Nightmare Mode scenario...”

“Hey! You changed the subject just like that? You care so little about what’s happening to me?” Xiao Tan roared.

“What is there to ask about,” Feng Bujue said weakly, “You must have said something you shouldn’t or did something you shouldn’t...”

“I know we have a clever guild leader,” Laughing Soul concurred as she glared at Xiao Tan.

“As a man, just kneel down and ask for an apology. That should solve everything,” Feng Bujue advised.

“Please do not think everyone can work the same way you do!” Xiao Tan said.

Feng Bujue narrowed his pair of dead eyes and slowly turned to Laughing Soul. “It’s not that I want to comment on this... but look at the poor child, normally you already bully him so badly. If he doesn’t make any mistakes that cross your principles, just forgive him. Based on my observation of you two, you are such a match. One uke, one seme, the work is equally shared. Who knows, one day, the wedding bells might chime for you two lovebirds...”

Pa!

A bag of chips flew from Laughing Soul’s hand and landed on Feng Bujue’s face.

“Told you to not get involved,” Passing Rain said coldly, “Now you have turned the target on yourself.”

“Ah! I’ve been in the business of sarcasm and mockery for decades. Once I open my mouth, someone is meant to be offended.” Feng Bujue pulled back the chips and tossed them into his mouth.

“Bluffing again...” Passing Rain shook her head with a smile.

“Humph...” Feng Bujue scoffed and used his action to prove his statement. He used less than a second to come up with the line and told Passing Rain, “By the way, as my diehard fan, wouldn’t you want to have a baby with me?”

Pa!

Another bag of chips flew from Passing Rain’s hand and landed on Feng Bujue’s head.

...

Feng Bujue shared the result of the battle with his guildmates and even exposed the setting of the Soul’s Eyes. Just like that, it had reached midnight. They decided to meet up in the sleeping mode server at predawn and then got offline to go off to wash up and prepare for sleep.

On the morning of 24th April, 0:45 am, Feng Bujue logged into the game again. This time he logged in earlier than the promised time because he wanted to do something on his own and he didn’t want his guildmates to wait for him. The first thing he did was to enter the storage room to get the reward. I am not going to go into the details but in conclusion, he got forty percent of current max EXP and drew two new puzzles. Currently, Feng Bujue’s stats were...

From Level thirty onward, the maximum limit of EXP had one more extra zero. In a way, this was good news for Feng Bujue... With his natural advantage of lack of fear, the extra EXP reward that he would get would be at an astronomical number. The other thing worth mentioning was the leveling up of summoning mastery, due to the repeated ‘Kyaa’ that he had employed in the Battle for the Cowl, he had increased his familiarity with his mastery by a lot already, therefore, after successfully summoning Musashi twice, the mastery leveled up.

Currently, Feng Bujue’s character mission of ‘using summoning skill and successfully summoning the creature for fifty times’ had reached the rate of 17/50. Looks like he only needed half a month to complete the quest.

“Hmm? These few cards...” After getting the reward, he was about to store the cards inside the storage when he noticed something. He fanned out the cards in his hand and opened the menu and chose the ‘combine’ option.

The system notification said, “Found a possible combination series.”

The window popped up to show—the card series was named: T-800 (Terminator). It used Puzzle Card: Sunglasses, Puzzle Card: Leather Jacket, Puzzle Card: Motorbike, and Puzzle Card: Shotgun to complete the whole set.

“A series that needs four cards to complete...” Feng Bujue mumbled, “I am sensing the smell of a perfect quality equipment...”

“The set that you have decided to generate is T-800, please confirm.”

As the four cards morphed into white light to regroup themselves, a card about the size of Tarot fell into Feng Bujue’s hand. There card had the print of a tough guy wearing sunglass, on a bike, in a leather jacket, and holding shotgun. But it felt so incongruent because it was painted in the Chinese water painting style...

The system then said, “Set of cards generated. Exchange it for a piece of equipment?”

After choosing yes, a white column appeared on the other side of the storeroom and replaced the previous column. When Feng Bujue got near, the equipment inside had materialized. It looked like some strange machinery. It was about the size of an organ and had a complicated structure. There was an opening with a conveyor belt but there was no exit, but a piece of circular convex lens. There was a lever next to the machine and next else to operate it. Feng Bujue felt uneasy as he picked up the object to study it...

Item: Magical Disintegrator Prototype Zero

Item Type: Tool

Quality: Trash

Function: Create trash

Special Effect: There’s a chance to create a legendary item (You have to put in three equipment that is at least excellent quality to use this)

Remark: This is a famous magical object created by the famed magician ‘Losing Mind’. Based on the man’s own description, the device can combine various magical objects and create something more valuable and powerful. But that might not be the case... After Mind destroyed hundreds of magical objects that he ‘borrowed’, all he had was junk. Therefore, Mind was ganged up by his bunch of furious friends and chased out from the Mage’s Society permanently. And this machine was labeled ‘trash’ since then and locked up in the forgotten warehouse.
