Chapter 105 (1/2)
TN: quick note, invincibility potion will be changed to damage immunity potion from now on based on because there’s an event in the future that brings doubt into whether or not invincibility is the correct word for this potion. Without further ado, enjoy. PS: ya might wanna come back when i hit chapter 110 ;D
After asking the System and being told that because Hinagiku has low stats and inadequate survival skills, the System decided to give her sword, s.h.i.+rosakura an upgrade.
Different from Hinagiku and Mikoto who are currently jumping in joy, Wu Yan is shocked to hear of this!
Through various past experience with System he has come to a conclusion. The System is a troll, I will be d.a.m.ned if it has any sign of being kind!
And so, a discussion that seems r.e.t.a.r.ded to 3rd party observer begun….
“System, ya sure it’s because Hinagiku has low stats and that’s why you gave her equipment an upgrade?”
“Yes!”
“No expense on my account or anything of that sort? Like pts or whatnot…”
“This is an independent action taken by the System, points need not be paid!”
“What about other kinds of cost?”
“There is none.”
“You sure?”
“Affirmative!”
“No insidious plot or anything like that?”
“User, please don’t slander the System lest the System sues you!”
“What the f.u.c.k is this s.h.i.t, a System that sues! I would like to see who you’re going to turn to sue me!”
“User, please don’t slander the System or your account will be banned!”
“Oh, with no one to help in taking legal action, now you want to drop the ban hammer on me? I call bulls.h.i.t, exactly which account on me you’re gonna ban b.i.a.t.c.h?!”
“Unit: Wu Yan!”
“Yeah? Ban my a.s.s? And what if I got banned so what?”
“The user will be unable to access the System!”
“Er, nevermind what I said, it’s my fault…”
……
s.h.i.+rosakura can’t be upgraded ad infinitum. System said this weapon can only be upgraded to a cap of Rank B, i.e., Gold Armament. If this weapon is to be further upgraded pa.s.s that tier then points must be given to fit the requirement for an upgrade.
They are still satisfied with this revelation though. Who wouldn’t want a free upgrade. Plus, Hinagiku seems to have taken a liking to s.h.i.+rosakura, even if the weapon can’t be upgraded she wouldn’t trade equipment so in a way, this is for the best…
Before they have even laid eyes on the treasure they have already made so much profit from this treasure hunting expedition. He can’t help wanting to grind a few more times.
Alas, reality isn’t like that of a game world, the mobs won’t resp.a.w.n and the loot won’t drop again. The revolution is at hand yet, comrades still need to push on…(TN: author used a famous quote from founding father of the republic of china, in this case it would mean the journey is far from over whereas the line was originally used in the context that since the founding father has yet to achieve his objectives but is on his deathbed, he wrote wills and urged that his successors carry on and see that revolution takes place, I’m not that good at history and even more so when it comes to foreign history like China but basically Sun Yat Sen put an end to Qing dynasty with his revolution which is pretty bada.s.s.)
” Ne, ne, onii-chan (TN:Lirin switches over to using the proper mandarin name for brother here but i kept Onii-chan because I can.), let’s go find that treasure…”
Knowing that the enemies have been vanquished, little ol’ Lirin can’t wait to get to treasure hunting. It seems to words treasure hunting is an allure no kid can resist….
“You’re right, the real treasure hasn’t even been obtained by us…”
Lifting his head, he glanced ahead and then exchanged sight with Mikoto, Hinagiku, Ikaros and Lirin. Grinning, he dramatically waved his hand.
“Forward!”
Walking along the path. Wu Yan & company walked at a prudent pace. n.o.body know for sure whether or not there is still any danger to this place.
Prudence turns out to be necessary. En route, there aren’t any stone spiders or signs of any other guardians but there sure are a ton of traps, enough to send s.h.i.+ver up anyone’s spine.
A wrong step and one would trigger magical formations. The effects of those magical formations are so numerous and diverse it’s to the point that it’s limited only by the victim’s imagination.
It’s fortunate that the ones leading them are Wu Yan and Mikoto who have drank Resplendent Breath. Otherwise, any normal person would have died multiple times in multiple ways that even their momma won’t recognize their bodies.
The result of their actions, of course it led them to become the minesweepers for the group and they walked ahead of the group. The two of them has triggered no less than 100 traps in this manner.
Watching the two fall yet again into another magic trap from behind, Hinagiku stayed a pretty safe distance away while being a little traumatized. It’s the first time in her life that she’s glad of being weaker in relative terms. She didn’t have to fight and as such don’t have to drink Resplendent Breath and subjected to such torture…
