Second World Novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115 - 115. Abundant Rewards

The blinding golden light forced Jack to close his eyes. When it became dimmer, he could open his eyes and see again. The golden light was still pouring out but not as bright as before. Jack could see now that it was not just the light that poured out from the destroyed core, some objects were thrown out as well. Some of the most eye-catching ones were tiny gold colored round discs, that kept coming out one after another.

“Are those gold coins?” Jack asked with uncertainty.

“Yep,” Peniel answered.

“Hot damn! There are so many of them,” Jack exclaimed, and then asked again to make sure, “are you really sure they are gold coins?”

Peniel did not bother to answer the second time. She floated around the broken core as she observed the treasures that were still coming out of it.

“You really hit the jackpot, I wonder if it’s because of your high luck stat?” She mumbled half to herself and half to Jack.

Jack wasn’t really paying attention to her as his eyes were glued to the gold coins that were still pouring out. There were other items as well besides the coins, but those shiny golden coins were more eye-catching for him. He was trying to count them in futility as they came out.

When the golden light finally died out, he heard a voice notification, “congratulations! You have successfully raided a monster settlement, rewarding 100,000 experience points.”

Jack was elated, there was still experience reward from successfully raiding the Settlement apart from treasure rewards? And the experience points rewarded were also so much! Another notification followed soon after.

“Congratulations your Warrior class have reached level 16

Your HP increase by 40

Your Stamina increase by 30

Your Strength increae by 5

Your Dexterity increase by 3

Your Intelligence increase by 1

Your Endurance increase by 3

Your Reflex increase by 2

Your Wisdom increase by 1

You receive 2 free attribute point and 2 free skill points”

Jack was stunned, Peniel was right, the attribute increase for Warrior class completely trounced that of the Fighter class. The free attribute and free skill points were also doubled. More free points would allow him more freedom in shaping his build. He opened his attribute window panel to have a look.

He was still admiring his attributes when Peniel smacked his head from behind.

“Are you going to just let those treasures lying there on the floor?” She asked.

“Relax,” Jack said. “What are you so hurried for? It’s not like there is anyone nearby that will come and steal them.”

“Hearing you say that, I really hope there will be one. So I can just laugh about it in your face after this.”

Jack rolled his eyes. “Alright, alright. Let’s see the treasures.”

But when he was about to close his status window, he noticed that his Magician class which had just gone up a level not long before, had its experience bar already filled up to more than 70%. The experience reward from raiding a Settlement was truly abundant, Jack thought.

He then decided to set the experience sharing for the Magician to 0%. In other words, he was stopping the growth of his Magician class and focused all experience received to his Warrior class. Tomorrow he would go into dungeon with Silverwing. He did not know how much experience he would receive, it would be a pity if his Magician class increased to level 16 before he upgraded to advanced class. Once he finished tomorrow affairs, he would return to the capital to apply for his Mage advanced class.

After finished setting his experience distribution, he closed the status window and then came to the pile of treasures. After looking at the amount of gold coins, he swallowed his saliva. He tried to count it properly this time.

“No need to count it anymore, slowpoke,” Peniel said. “I am bored waiting for you so I have counted them for you. There are 56 gold coins, 12 silver coins, and 67 copper coins.”

“Fi– fifty six…?” Jack was dumbfounded. It was so difficult to get even 1 gold coin all this time, and now he had 56 of them.

Afraid that someone would really show up and steal the coins, he hurriedly stored all the coins into his inventory bag. He checked inside it, combined with the coin he had originally, he now had 59 gold coins, 20 silver coins, and 55 copper coins.

He was grinning from ear to ear. He was R-I-C-H!

“What are you grinning there like a fool? There are still more stuffs here!” Peniel chided him.

Reminded by the Fairy, he immediately looked at the remaining loots. He inspected them using his God-Eye monocle. There were five common and two uncommon equipment which he had no use of, he would dismantle them when he had the chance.

Then there were three common equipment which were medium armors. One shoulder part, one belt, and one boots, he would store them for later combining using the Transformation Box. There were also two uncommon equipment, one of which he could use.

Steel Spaulders, level 15/25 (uncommon medium armor)

Physical Defense: 27

Magical Defense: 23

Durability: 40

Reflex +2

The other uncommon equipment was another Magic Staff. Since it was weaker than the one he was using, he just stored the weapon. He was now only lacking another four uncommon staffs in order to combined them into a rare Magic Staff.

The remaining things were several iron ores and three steel ores, a bunch of cooking ingredients, a couple of shiny looking objects which he had never seen before, and a dark grey cloak. He stored the rest and checked on the shiny objects, there were two reds and one purple.

Ruby (common gemstone)

Amethyst (common gemstone)

“Gemstones? What are they for?” Jack asked.

“They can be used for multiple things, but most useful is if used in runecrafting,” Peniel answered.

“Runecrafting?”

“Yes, it’s one of your auxiliary skills. Just keep them for now. They will come in handy later.”

“Will they fetch a good price if I sell them?” Jack asked. His concept of gemstone in the real world was just for decoration, making jewelries, and transaction purpose only.

“They will,” Peniel replied. “But you will be a fool to sell them.”

“Okay,” Jack nodded his understanding and stored the gemstones. He then inspected the last item.

Cloak of Shadow (super rare cloak)

Darkness Resistance: 30

Completely concealed from Inspection

Become invisible if not moving for 3 seconds in shadowy place. Moving or getting attacked will dispel the invisibility

A super rare equipment! Jack was shocked. It was even a cloak, the only armor piece he was still missing.

“Darkness resistance?” He asked Peniel.

“That was surprising, stats that boost resistance usually only appear in high level equipment. You are really lucky. This resistance will really help you when you met opponents that use dark magic. Its other abilities are very amazing as well. I would say this is your best find yet, even compared to those pile of gold coins you just stored.”

Jack agreed with her. This cloak really looked awesome, he admired it for a bit more while, then he equipped it.

“This Monster Settlement really gave lots of experience and rewards,” he commented. “People should just look for ones and raid them, their profits are insane!”

“Only a lunatic like you will storm a Monster Settlement by your own,” Peniel rolled her eyes. “The experience and rewards of a Monster Settlement is indeed bountiful, but it usually also takes a complete party in order to raid one. In that case, the experience and rewards will be spread among the party members, thus reducing the portion each people get. In addition, Monster Settlements are usually rather rare, it’s not easy for you to stumble into one. And when one is found, usually many adventurers will compete in raiding it. You are just lucky to find this tiny sized settlement.”

“This is tiny?” Jack asked with raised eyebrows.

“Yea, this encampment can be classified as the smallest size amongst settlements. For the biggest ones, you can compare them with the size of a town.”

While they were talking, the main hut was suddenly shaking. The walls and roof then crumbled from the shaking, becoming the same as the ruins of the other huts which the Lizardman Chief had demolished during the fight. He looked at the place where the remaining four huts should still be standing, they were also in ruins already.

“The core had been destroyed, so the settlement will be dismantled,” Peniel informed him. “By tomorrow morning, all these ruins will disappear as well. It will be as if there is never an encampment here.”

As the main hut was gone, he looked at the night sky above.

“It’s late already, let’s just rest here for the night,” Jack said as he took out his camping tent and set it up.

After finished setting it up, he turned to Peniel with a grin, “I’ve not yet found a tent which has an alarm function, so you don’t mind be the lookout again, right?”

Peniel’s eyes twitched when she heard it, she then helplessly said, “fine! Fine! You are lucky us Fairies doesn’t need much sleep as you humans do.”
