After returning to the log in lobby, the screen before Brother Jue appeared with the rating review. The minute things that Brother Jue had done in the scenario like spamming Yakyuken, summoning Bason when no one was around and so on had been omitted… but let us talk about the other rewards he had obtained.

For a team scenario with a normal difficulty, the reward for the members of Underworld Frontline this time was not wrong. From Feng Bujue’s rating review, one would not be able to tell how much they had gotten away with because Brother Jue did not have that big of an inventory so he only took two things with him and one he was already wearing. But if you look at all four rating reviews, you would realize they had taken quite a lot of good stuff from the bat cave and most of them were items that would be bound after equipment so they could be traded for Game Coins even if they couldn’t use them. But for now, let us focus on the two things that Brother Jue that had brought out with him…

Name: Batman suit (classic)

Type: Apparel

Equipment Requirement: Male, Level over 40

Remark: Design is based on the original cartoon, the classic batman apparel.

This batsuit was an equipment but a costume apparel, it was not bound. Brother Jue thought this could sell for a good price so he wore it out of the scenario. Based on system setting, players could not adjust apparel when in scenario so he could only put it on over his own current apparel. Now we shall move onto the second object…

Name: Bane’s Blood x 4

Type: Consumable

Quality: Perfect

Effect: Increase the user’s strength, speed, dexterity, sensitivity, recovery (last for 20 minutes, the effect does not overlap)

Remark: Due to the years of using super steroid to improve his own body, it caused DNA mutation to Bane’s own blood and it could be used as a strengthening agent that is stable and powerful. Note: user’s physical body must be of certain level to use it. For normal people (player less than level 20), please dilute it with salt water before using or there will be side effect.

These few perfect consumables were ‘traded’ from the Pearl Pistol that Feng Bujue got in the scenario. Other than that, Xiao Tan’s two face’s coin, Ruoyu’s giant revolver and Soulie’s Poison Ivy Perfume all separately traded for different consumables. The location to trigger this ‘trade event’ was very hidden, its location was deep inside the batcave that was hidden behind many heavy boxes (that was why Xiao Tan was moving the boxes, he was clearing a path). When the players got close to that point with the related quest item, the system announcement would be triggered. Normally, to find out something like this, the players had to stick close to the wall and explore every corner of the batcave but as mentioned earlier… the current Feng Bujue already could analyse the environmental code to a certain degree already so with him searching for hidden element, it took less effect than usual.

Therefore, with Brother Jue leading the way, the four from Underworld Frontline all successfully triggered that event and all exchanged their plot items for stuff that they could bring out from the scenario. As a side note… Brother Jue actually got 5 Bane’s Blood but he took out one and had Klibon dilute it before injecting it into Joe. Perhaps some of you might question why he would do something like that? As a player, his responsibility was to finish the quest. After the scenario ended, whether Joe was dead or alive, what happened to Gotham, it mattered not to them anymore. Indeed, that was true.

But… Brother Jue still decided that he would help Batman as much as he could within his power. Actually there was no specific reason behind this, his thought was similar to most Marvel fan. Because he had seen the original I, Joker comic and he was not satisfied with some of the plot and ending, so he wanted to intervene and change the future of this world…

…

“Hmm… I’ve gained quite a lot of Game Coins this time.” Feng Bujue finished scanning the rating review and turned to head to the storage. He mumbled to himself. “This apparel is still slightly different from the batman outfit sold at the store, so in other words… it is a limited edition. With some hype, I should be able to sell it at a high price to someone like Pegasus.” With that in mind, Brother Jue was reminded of Flashes of Sword. “Hue hue hue… having him as a middleman by offering him some commission, I should be able to get a good price for it.” He was a casual player, he was able to order a famous studio’s celebrity player around like a lackey, to be able to do something like that… Feng Bujue was something else.

“Ah… right time to pick the equipment.” Brother Jue soon deposited the batman apparel into the box in the storage and came to the glass tube for the extra reward. His luck was as bad as ever and only got a normal quality item. It was not that practical and the disintegrator would not want it either so his only option was to sell it. Then Feng Bujue walked to the glass tube with the reward for clearing the scenario and prayed for a good result.

Several seconds later, the white light gathered and… a strange object with a “凸” shape started to materialize itself…

Name: Mockery of the King of Alchemy

Type: Armor

Quality: Excellent

Defense Point: None

Element: None

Special Effect: Greatly increase the effect of summoning skill (similar effect that is weaker will be overshadowed)

Equip Requirement: Summoning C, possess a working middle finger in the right hand, bound after use

Remark: Go to hell you bunch of idiots who always follow the principle of equal transmutation! The thing that you need to make with one ton of material, I can make with a grab of dirt! You want to kick me out of the guild! Fine, this is my response! Remember this! Do you really think I wish to stay here! I am going to become the King of Alchemy, just you watch and see!

Feng Bujue pulled the item out from the glass tube and realized this was a metallic finger cot. After he studied the item description, he wasted no time to bend over… to and remove the Embedded alchemical enhancement device from his knees.

“very good.” Brother Jue said, “Since the effect cannot overlap, I shall exchange it for this much better equipment that has no side effect.”

He said as he put on the Mockery of the King of Alchemy and then placed the embedded device inside the box. Counting the previous Jazz Shoes, he had already two items that were higher than excellent quality in his storage already, with another one, he would be able to have a go at the slot machine… oh, I mean… the Magical Disintegrator Prototype Zero again.

…

It is not the time to waste word count. Long story short, after getting all his scenario reward, Feng Bujue hurried back to the elevator. Just like what he sad before queuing for the game, the first normal team scenario was just a warm up. The real main event was coming next—Team Survival Nightmare Mode.

“Are all of you ready?” Feng Bujue stood before the touch screen and connected into the team channel to ask.

“We’re all waiting for you.” Ruoyu’s voice was the first to reply.

“Correct.” Soulie added.

“Oh, coming, coming,” Xiao Tan sounded flustered, he probably only just entered the elevator too. It was worth mentioning that… under normal circumstance, Feng Bujue needed much longer time to deal with the result compared to his teammates. There were two main reasons: one, they had bigger inventory so they did not need to run to their storage often; two, Brother Jue often had to receive extra reward…𝒐𝑽𝓵xt.𝑐𝓞𝗆

“Then, we shall start…” Feng Bujue said as his fingers worked on the menu.

Feng Bujue, Level 43

Wang Tanzhi, Level 40

Passing Rain, Level 40

Laughing Soul, Level 40

As she finished, the world before the players darkened and they were transported away.

“Reward for clearing the scenario: Double the EXP gain after clearing the scenario

“Playing the scenario introduction soon. The game will start right after.”

After the system announced everything, the players gained their mobility.

“Hmm?” The moment Feng Bujue gained his senses, he realized something—a pair of cold hands were closing his eyes…

Before he could react, he heard… a croaky and sad voice came from the back of his neck, “Guess who~”
