168 Chapter 168 - This is Not a One-man Figh (2/2)

”Wait a sec!” Royal God Call suddenly shouted.

Everyone thought at first that Royal God Call was up to no good, yet his voice soon quivered in excitement, ”I – I've received a Special Reward!”

”Ahhh!” everyone exclaimed in surprised. Special Reward was randomly awarded by the system to anyone who had attained a win in the PvP event and would directly sent it into the selected player's dimensional pocket. The system had stated that the chances of being rewarded would increase the further participants went into the PvP tournament. Today's match was only the fourth round of the PvP tournament and, based on the players' discussion over the forums, the chances of being given Special Reward were extremely low. Royal God Call was a truly lucky fellow to be awarded with it now.

”What item is it?” everyone asked anxiously.

Royal God Call carefully reached into his dimensional pocket and took it out slowly. It was a skill scroll.

”Permanent or one-time use?” Brother Assist asked. While both were scrolls, the difference in their value was similar the difference between day and night.

”Permanent!” Royal God Call answered gingerly.

”Wow…” all expressed their amazement.

However, Royal God Call's expression drastically changed when he rolled open the scroll and checked the printed words over. It was as if he had ingested a ten-thousand-year-old poison as he furiously bellowed, ”ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! A MAGE SKILL SCROLL?! System, are you blind?! Can't you see that I'm no Mage, but an ARCHER?!” He forlornly cursed the heavens....

Brother Assist once more philosophized, ”A thin line separates heaven and hell. Yet another adage that is true.”

”Here! Take it Miles!” Royal God Call languidly handed the scroll over to Gu Fei after expressing his vexation fully.

Everyone, including the game noob Gu Fei, felt absolutely shocked by his action. The value of a permanent skill scroll was beyond exceptional. Even if Royal God Call could not use it, he could at least fetch a hefty price for it at the Trade Exchange or Auction House. Knowing of this fact, he promptly returned the scroll to Royal God Call, ”You should go sell it.”

”Sell, your *ss! Just take the scroll since you can use it!” Royal God Call tossed it back to Gu Fei.

”The system has boldly given you a mage skill scroll, so there might be a Mage out there that has gotten an archer skill scroll. You should hold on to this and swap it with that person!” Gu Fei tossed the scroll over to Royal God Call once more.

The online gaming expert Royal God Call had of course thought of such a possibility, but venting his frustration had been the only thing on his mind just then. Since Gu Fei had helped him a lot in these past few days, tossing the scroll to Gu Fei had seemed like a good deed that could make him feel better about himself and ease the frustration a little. Now that the rush of emotions he had felt calmed, he began to somewhat regret his impulsive action.

”You guys are really too brotherly!” War Without Wounds expressed his admiration. A really expensive item was forcefully being gifted by one and was solemnly being rejected by another. He felt that the two's upright character deserved his praise.

In the next instant, however, everyone heard Gu Fei honestly admit, ”I can't use that scroll.”

”What?” everyone asked, shocked.

”It said I don't have lightning magic,” Gu Fei explained.

So Miles has tried using the scroll upon receiving it! everyone realized this truth.

”Does this mean that one needs to be a Lightning Mage before he or she can use the scroll?” Brother Assist asked.

”Seems about right. But I want to advance toward a Water Mage. It is very useful to have the ability to reduce the enemies' speed,” Gu Fei replied. He was very resentful toward those players who had a faster speed than him as well as those who could kite him.

”Royal's dream of having a dual-job-class character through the use of skill scrolls isn't possible, it seems!” Brother Assist sighed.

All nodded their heads in agreement.

”Since that's the case, I guess I'll hold on to it and see if anyone is willing to trade for it.” With this kind of development, Royal God Call felt at ease at taking the skill scroll back.

”Head over to the trade forums and put up a post. See if anyone is amenable to such an exchange,” Brother Assist suggested.

”Mhm-mhm!” Royal God Call nodded his head in agreement. He was also an old hand at this, so Brother Assist did not really need to point this out to him.

”We've been discussing this for so long, but just what skill does the scroll give, anyway?” Brother Assist asked.

”Electric Wall,” Royal God Call replied.

”The name sounds boring,” Gu Fei sighed. He preferred instant-cast spells, such as Twin Incineration, since they could be used with his kung fu.

”Tsk! Tsk!” The rest of them exclaimed, ”Take the scroll out and let us see it again!”

”Oi! Are we drinking or not?!” Young Master Han asked impatiently.
