Chapter 5 Thunderstorm MKII
Maso is not worried about whether he can acquire this batch of treasures, but rather whether his backpack can hold such heavy spoils... He hopes that the contents of this large box are gold coins, as gold coins in the game are weightless for players. Moreover, in the early stages of the game, one thousand gold coins are more important to Maso than a piece of legendary equipment
"I will take my leave now, you need not see off the younger generation." Outside the tavern, Masuo said to the white-browed elder who had accompanied him out. Having just received a tube of +1 sharp arrows from the elder, and drawing from his past experiences, the young man could not help but address him with respect.
Three goblins, due to their short stature and dark skin, cannot be taken lightly

Faction of Items: Sympathy and Kindness / Hostility towards Evil
This game utilizes a highly realistic physics engine, therefore the lock ring on the small wooden box is broken. What appears in Maso's eyes is a pair of wooden boxing gloves in different colors, with separate forearm and hand guards. Three spring-loaded blade slots are located at the top of the hand guard, and the edges of the forearm guard are adorned with thorn patterns. The smoothly polished center of the forearm guard features a leopard head relief.
Maso chose to confirm without hesitation, then lowered his body and found another small wooden box in the arms of a nearby half-orc, which presumably contained very precious items. The small wooden box was locked, but that did not deter Maso. He took the "one-handed hammer" from beside the half-orc's corpse and, using both hands, exerted all his strength to lift it high—then brought it down heavily onto the small wooden box.
Type of attack: Piercing / Slashing
Strike range: 18 - 20
In other words, this half-orc is the most powerful member of the city's thieves' guild, possessing at least 300 HP and a level of at least 25. Considering that very few half-orcs become spellcasters, the massive warhammer at this half-orc's waist seems to confirm this notion. This battle-oriented half-orc is likely to be berserk... Such a melee monster, if the players were to challenge him and his five guild members at their current levels, it is estimated that at least ten people would need to die.
Having spoken, the old man walked back to the tavern, while Maso watched Old White Brow enter the tavern and push the door open before turning to leave. At that moment, a drop of rain fell on his tail, prompting Maso to glance up at the sky—summer is the season when torrential rains and lightning dominate the skies in the small port city of Paronster, located on the easternmost side of the Eastern Continent.
I have become wealthy
"I don't know, but I see that many people in the group, including Mingmei and Mingen, are very polite to you... so I think you must be much older than us." Masuo spoke candidly, and his explanation made Baimei burst into laughter, "You are quite observant, indeed worthy of the two little girls' approval. I may be a bit older, but I am not so old that I can't move. However, listening to you, I will take my leave now."
Soon, the rain transformed from a light drizzle into a torrential downpour. At the market, I purchased two pieces of waterproof tarpaulin: a large one to wrap around myself and a smaller one to cover the military crossbow. With two gold coins, which served as my commission, I learned alchemy from a middle-aged man at the alchemy stall in the market. With two gold coins, which served as a tip, I bought materials for forty basic healing potions and a small vial of fire adhesive.
Maso, crouching in the rain and taking small steps, held a military crossbow, watching the half-orc convulsing on the ground. He could clearly see that this large creature was currently suffering from a bleeding damage of 3 points per second. At the onset of the blood spray, this damage was a shocking 20 points. Overall, Maso had inflicted a total of 237 points of HP damage to him, and this value was still increasing every second
A dwarf, because Masso saw the dwarf's favorite pointed boots under the rainproof cloth
Base block rate: +15%, successful blocks can absorb 1D2 points of damage to restore HP / for every 4 levels of the equipped character, this number increases by 1D2
This is a pair of set flying claw gauntlets, which are also the weapon kit of the legendary ode to Leo Lovantha. Stuffing this pair of flying claw gauntlets into the backpack, only four words remain in Maso's mind—Shamanic Gear
Mason picked them up, and the equipment attributes immediately appeared on the virtual screen before his eyes
The half-orc foolishly attempted to pull the crossbow bolt embedded in his chest, and as he extracted a bolt with only half of the arrowhead remaining from the wound, blood gushed forth from the injury, instantly staining the entire ground red
Moreover, even after the player attacks, the environment will still assist the player— for instance, in the situation where Masuo finds himself, the sound of thunder conceals his slaughter, and no one notices that his companions have already died. In this context, Masuo is still regarded as being in a stealth state, and his attacks are still considered ambushes.
Weapon Effects: Never deteriorates when equipped, never drops when equipped (unless faction shifts), cannot be unequipped while parrying or blocking
Required attributes: Strength 6 / Perception 30
Each energy orb can reduce the casting time of the next Lightning Arrow or Chain Lightning by 25%. Additionally, casting six energy orbs will make the next Lightning Arrow or Chain Lightning instant cast, and this Chain Lightning will gain a special effect (Chain Lightning will receive Super Jump, increasing the maximum jump distance between targets from 6 yards to 12 yards)
Maso, shrouded in the cold rain, peered at the dock pier with the dark vision of a small cat person, clearly seeing six individuals of varying heights on the dock.
Faction of Items: Sympathy and Kindness / Hostility towards Evil
You are my will ... ... " Masora pulled the cocking trigger of the military crossbow beside him, watching as the squad that had already traversed half the embankment raised the reloaded military crossbow. "Help me steady it." Another flash of lightning struck, and the nearby thunder filled Masora's ears with a deafening roar, while the arrow he shot pierced the neck of the third goblin. The goblin, clutching its neck, helplessly rolled down the embankment, leaving behind a large pool of blood.
Put away the healing potion, and Masuo began to poison the +1 Sharp Arrow. On such a night, death requires silence and efficiency
Range of the flying claw: 60 yards, automatic retrieval
A half-orc ... . ... Masuo dares to bet that this guy is definitely the best choice for carrying the box tonight
Maso, leaning against the old lighthouse wall, gazed at the sixth pier in the rain. In the distance, the clock tower in the city had already struck the hour, the sound of thunder mingling with the chimes of the bell. A large ship was anchored outside the harbor, while a small boat was approaching the sixth pier
As the half-orc struggled to prop himself up with his intact right leg and raised his head, the sharp dagger held in Masho's left hand had already approached him closely. Instinctively, he raised his right hand to block the strike, but in the next moment, the dagger in the kitten's left hand pierced into the elbow joint of the half-orc's right arm. With a twist and a stab, it severed the half-orc's forearm. The half-orc roared, attempting to grasp with his intact right hand, but Masho easily dodged the large hand of the half-orc. He had already flung away the dagger held in his left hand and thrust it directly into the left eye socket of the half-orc's forward-leaning head.
Weapon Description (Yellow Text): This is an elemental wrath against evil
Required attributes: Strength 6 / Perception 30
Type of attack: Piercing / Slashing
"You are my eyes..." Masso did not watch the goblin that fell from the embankment along with the thunder. He readied the military crossbow, "Help me aim." After placing a new arrow, Masso pulled the trigger again after a flash of lightning. The arrow pierced the head of the second goblin after flying nearly one hundred yards, and the goblin carried by the arrow fell directly into the sea, while the thunder masked everything.
Returning to the old lighthouse in the heavy rain, Maso first sharpened a pair of pointed daggers he used, followed by the preparation of potions. In the alchemical laboratory, the success rate for potion-making is increased, but what Maso needed was not success, but failure. Under normal circumstances, the success rate for creating a potion for light healing is 40%, with a 15% chance of complete failure, a 25% chance of producing a potion for minor healing, and a 20% chance of resulting in a vial of poison. What Maso needed was precisely this type of poison that could deal 3D6 damage.

"My Lord, I beseech Your forgiveness for the slaughter I have committed..." As he readied his arrows, Masuo watched the halfling, who was running towards the embankment, a long cylindrical object in his hand. Estimating the wind direction, the rain intensity, and the halfling's speed, Masuo calmly pulled the trigger... Watching the arrow carry the halfling and the glowing signal stick in his hand into the sea, Masuo sighed, "For in nature, it is only the weak who are preyed upon by the strong"
Damage: 3D6 (3 - 18) + 7 / Full frost damage, guaranteed critical hit against targets of evil alignment
A halfling, that is because he happens to be standing next to a human
Elemental Assault of Leo Levanta: The damage of each jump of Chain Lightning is no longer halved, the number of targets that can be locked on for each level of Chain Lightning increases by four, and targets that have been damaged will receive full damage again when the total number of targets is insufficient
Each Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning level increases the damage of Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning by an additional 2
Gold coins are indeed the root of all evil
Range of the flying claw: 60 yards, automatic retrieval
A short blade was thrust into the brain and then withdrawn; with a push of the right hand, the half-orc fell backward into the rainwater, splashing water everywhere
Damage: 3D6 (3 - 18) + 7 / Full fire damage, guaranteed critical hit against undead targets
Sharpness value: 12
Weapon weight: 3 pounds
Sharpness value of the blade: 9
Elemental Assault of Leo Levanta (Right Hand)
... ...
As Masuo walked past the corpse of the half-orc, he did not rush to rummage through the boxes. Instead, he first readied a crossbow bolt before beginning to open the wooden chest—just enough to create a small gap, and the glimmering gold inside dazzled his eyes. He cautiously reached his hand into the wooden chest—"Esteemed player, would you like to receive a total of 3,200 Ashubi gold coins and 4,000 Canaries Iris gold coins from the chest?"
Item Level: High-level Legendary Weapon
As Maso approached the half-orc, this massive creature suddenly leaped up, roaring as it charged towards the kitten. Faced with such a frenzied half-orc, the kitten chose to shoot at the half-orc's left knee, thus interrupting the charge and causing the half-orc to fall to the ground
With a swift pull of the trigger to draw the bowstring, Masora produced a new military crossbow bolt, the poisoned tip glimmering with a ghostly green hue. After nocking the arrow and leveling the military crossbow, Masora took a deep breath, "You are my finger..." As he watched the last human in the line turn around, Masora calmly pulled the trigger, "Help me slay the enemy!"
Weapon Material: Phoenix Divine Wood
This outcome still reflects that the participating players had a stroke of bad luck
(2 / 2) Players can transform their lightning arrow into an energy chain when casting it, dealing full damage to the target while pulling the target towards themselves or throwing it in a certain direction. Using this effect will consume one energy orb
Item Type: Advanced Flying Claw Blade / + 7
The gold coins of each country in the game are nearly identical, thus there will not be much difficulty in exchanging them. The greatest difference in gold coins between different nations lies instead in the variations of their designs
The arrow, shot forth, flew through the air for nearly two seconds before finally embedding itself in the left side of the half-orc's chest. The latter stood stunned for a moment before dropping the enormous wooden crate on his back and letting out a thunderous roar. However, on such a stormy day, the roar could barely reach Maso's ears clearly
In the game, attacks made by undetected players against a target will be regarded as ambushes, with all damage values considered at their maximum. Additionally, all physical damage from this attack receives a quadruple bonus. Furthermore, if the attack hits critical areas such as the head, neck, or heart of the target, all physical damage will be doubled and will inflict a fatal effect—an explanation of the fatal effect is likely unnecessary. Therefore, Maso dealt 88 points of damage to this goblin, and an additional 18 points of poison damage also appeared in the battle record.

"Payne Baisides, my divine being, I beseech your attention..." Lightning streaked across the sky as Masuo decisively pulled the trigger, and a sharp arrow traced a skewed parabola through the rain, its destination a green goblin's head.
Strike range: 18 - 20
Critical hit damage: x 3
Durability value: 9
Looking at the line that suddenly jumped out in the battle record, Masuo pouted: "You are the omniscient and omnipotent true god..." Once again, he raised the military crossbow, watching the delivery duo leave the embankment without any reaction. He pulled out a specially made arrow from the rainproof tarp—he had carved serrations on the back half of the arrowhead with a carving knife. The reason for this modification is that in the game, half-orcs typically have very high physical attributes, and they usually have a habit of fidgeting with their wounds.

"... ... Do you know who I am?" Old Bai raised his white eyebrows.
Quickly, a box was moved onto the dock by a person from the small boat. Two groups seemed to confirm each other's identities, and ultimately, the individuals who disembarked returned to the small boat. They rowed away from the shore, while a large half-orc on the dock picked up the box, and another gnome took a small box.
A person, as can be seen from his posture, is waving to a small boat
Due to Mako's deliberate erroneous operations, the forty sets of materials for healing minor injury potions ultimately transformed into eight bottles of healing minor injury potions, fourteen bottles of healing slight injury potions, and ten bottles of damage poison
From the footsteps of the half-orc, it can be inferred that the contents of this large box must be quite heavy, which causes some concern for Maso
Elemental Shield Guardian of Leo Lavanta (Left Hand)
He pushed a bag of grass that had long been soaked through by rain on the wall stack, using a pulley attached to a rope to slide the 40-pound bag towards the embankment. Seeing that the bag hung on the flagpole was not attacked, only then did Maso tidy up his arrows, drape the rainproof tarpaulin back over himself, and then slide down to the ground using the rope on the other side of the old lighthouse
Lifting the rainproof tarp, Masso, who had been standing in the rain, raised his military crossbow. He drew out a pre-prepared poisoned arrow from the side of the tarp and placed it in the notch. He aimed at the last goblin in the line— the rule that the goods must always be carried by the thieves' guild to prevent anyone from pilfering was a strict law, and today, this very law was Masso's greatest ally
Item Level: High-level Legendary Weapon / + 7
Item Type: Advanced Flying Claw Blade
It seemed that a human, sensing something, turned to look at the situation behind him, only to see the empty embankment and the large patches of blood being washed away by the rain. Just as he opened his mouth, an arrow shot from a distance pierced through his skull, taking away both his life and the warning he was about to utter. Amidst the thunder and the crashing sound of the sea against the embankment, the human, now bent over, knelt down, and his lifeless body ultimately fell in the center of the embankment.
