Chapter 57 Rewards
Before Lu Qingfeng could even check the reward details, his vision was filled with a series of network prompts woven from dark gold runes.
Who designed the color characters for the defense?
[The player "Hydrogen Wind" has achieved 10 wins (Beginner Level)]
[The online version of the game is currently being assessed... unknown weighting adjustments are in progress...]
[Special rewards selection interface is now active...]
Please choose one of the following three options:
Option 1: [Arena Glory Emblem - Initial] (Special Accessory)
【Effect: When equipped, all damage dealt in the arena is increased by 5%, and damage taken is reduced by 5%.】
Additional Feature: Each victory will accumulate a small amount of Glory Points, which can be redeemed for limited-edition appearances and titles in the exclusive shop.
P.S.: "Newbie, this is just the beginning." — A message from a legendary gladiator.
Option 2: [Universal Experience Crystal - Medium] (Consumable)
Effect: Upon use, you will immediately gain general experience points equal to 30% of your current level.
P.S.: A shortcut to rapid leveling, but true power takes time to accumulate. — Boiled Egg Wholesaler
Option 3: [Special Skill/Faction Draw Ticket] (Special Consumable)
Effect: After use, it will draw one ability from the pool of all skills/features that you have already encountered or that match your profession and combat style, with a compatibility of at least 80% with the user.
P.S.: A gambler's frenzy! Whether it's a divine skill or a useless one, it all depends on fate—the legend of Sori's Cave.
P.S.: Don't be afraid of newcomers, I've got you covered—the God of Guarantees, Moso Aisley
Lu Qingfeng's gaze swept back and forth between the three options.
The Glory Emblem has a direct effect, but it is limited to the Arena and its improvement is limited.
The experience points are valuable, but I don't lack that experience. Leveling up too quickly will weaken my foundation, and I'm already intentionally holding back my level. Missing out on later rewards would be a shame.
His gaze finally settled on the third option.
Random... no, according to the description it should be semi-directional sampling, where risks and opportunities coexist.
"My combat system is basically complete, but its weaknesses are also obvious. If I could draw a skill that makes up for those weaknesses... that would be wonderful."
Let's go!
Lu Qingfeng made a decisive choice.
Of course, the essential handwashing ritual before the lucky draw was also included.
[You have selected a random skill/feature draw ticket!]
The item has been sent to your backpack.
【Should we use it immediately?】
"yes!"
The lottery ticket in his hand turned into countless points of light and dissipated. A huge halo of light spun rapidly in front of him, with countless skill icons flashing by within it.
"Give me a good one, give me a good one, give me a good one!"
A moment later, the light wheel slowly stopped, and the pointer stopped on a silver-white icon.
[Draw complete!]
[Steel breakage:]
Effect: 1. Your heavy attacks (such as sword swings and punches) can inflict an additional shock damage, which is 20% of your Strength attribute.
2. If the attack hits the enemy's fortifications or armor, there is a chance (based on the difference in strength) to directly trigger a special effect, which temporarily reduces the target's armor by 15% for 5 seconds.
Note: This effect only applies when using heavy weapons or unarmed attacks, and each trigger consumes a small amount of stamina.
Huh, another offensive skill?
Am I destined to be a brute?
Screw your fate, my fate is in my own hands... cough cough.
Looking at his newly acquired skill, Steel Breaking, Lu Qingfeng complained, but he knew in his heart that it did fit his fighting style of overcoming skill with brute force.
"So what if I'm a brute? As long as I can crush the opponent, that's a good skill."
I've claimed the 10-win reward and acquired the new skill; I've exceeded my arena goal for today.
Lu Qingfeng checked the time; it seemed that the arena time had gone a bit over today.
"That's enough. Let's consolidate our position first, and then continue to push for higher rankings tomorrow."
Lu Qingfeng had no regrets and chose to leave the arena directly.
Consciousness returned to the wicker chair in the backyard.
The afternoon sun streamed through the glass windows, casting warm, dappled light on the wooden floor.
Xu Lun was still on duty at the cashier counter. When she turned around and saw Lu Qingfeng wake up, she laughed and said, "Brother Lu, you slept really soundly during your afternoon nap. I called you several times but you didn't respond. Did you secretly stay up late last night? Tell me, I'm not an outsider."
"Go to hell, who cultivates immortality every day like you? I just had a pretty interesting dream."
Lu Qingfeng stretched, his bones making a slight popping sound, a natural reaction to the new skill integrating into his body.
"What did you dream about? Did you find money?"
"It's more interesting than finding money." Lu Qingfeng smiled and didn't say much more. "Get back to work and don't get distracted."
After dealing with his shop assistant, Lu Qingfeng leaned back in his rattan chair, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the armrest.
"What should we do this afternoon?"
The newly acquired Steel Breaker skill needs to be tested in practice to determine its trigger conditions and specific effects.
Moreover, he was also somewhat concerned about the Hengtai Martial Arts School that Jolyne had mentioned that morning.
After all, this is my bedside, and I cannot allow others to sleep soundly here.
Regardless of what happened to the restaurant that was erased in the real world, things were different now. Lu Qingfeng, who had mastered the aura, did not detect any special aura within his perception range.
But what if, by some chance, someone can block out their own senses?
"...Let's go take a look."
Anyway, I'm just idling around.
It's more believable to scout out the area during the day as an ordinary person than to sneak around at night.
In case there is a problem, it will be good to prepare in advance.
After all, judging from the triggering pattern of the last limited-time dungeon, trouble will most likely turn into a quest sooner or later and fall on his head.
Having made up his mind, Lu Qingfeng stretched and got up from the rattan chair.
"Jolyne," he walked to the front hall and knocked on the counter, "I'm going out for a bit, you watch the shop for a while."
"Okay, boss!" Jolyne, engrossed in labeling a pile of old books, didn't even look up. "Are you coming back before dinner?"
"We'll see." Lu Qingfeng waved his hand and pushed open the glass door of the bookstore.
"Hengtai Martial Arts School..." He looked up at the faint outline of the building with lights shining through the street corner in the distance, "I hope you really are just here to open a school and teach students."
The street outside was filled with two or three pedestrians, and the early summer breeze carried a hint of warmth.
Lu Qingfeng walked towards the old site of the canteen he remembered.
Not far away, we saw a newly renovated storefront.
The signboard is small, with black background and gold lettering that reads "Hengtai Martial Arts School" in regular script, exuding an old-fashioned feel.
The storefront was slightly deeper than the shops next door. Through the gleaming glass door, you could see that the interior was lined with dark-colored cushions, and there were weapon racks on the walls, displaying unsharpened swords and clubs.
It was afternoon, and there were still some trainees inside.
Lu Qingfeng stopped under the shade of a tree across the street and squinted as he looked around.
At first glance, it looks no different from any other modern martial arts school.
Teaching some fitness and self-defense techniques can attract nearby office workers or students, and business should be pretty good.
However, the spiritual amulet on his fingertip did not react, indicating that there was no strong fluctuation of evil energy nearby.
Furthermore, there was no foul air in Lu Qingfeng's aura perception, a fact he had already confirmed in the bookstore.
This visit is simply to conduct a specific on-site inspection.
