Novel Bin Chapter 150 Reward
Two choices, both offering the best reward he might never get again for some time even maybe ever. Viktor stared at the options and felt a headache forming.
He rubbed the back of his head. Unsure about what gift he should get, he decided to check how the others are doing. Apparently everyone except Jessie has received an item as additional reward.
Probably most of them received only a B or C on their personal rank, and thus, they did not have options like him.
Tori received a tier 2 long-range energy weapon which normally cost about 20,000 spirit stones. in the pillars store. Definitely, something that suits him.
Boris received a tier 3 magic dagger that could increase his agility.
Kosta received a tier 2 sword, Barry received a tier 2 shield, while Eva with the least point contribution received one bottle of potion which is a[healing potion]
Liza, the young girl, the one with the second-highest score compared to Viktor, received a unique tier 3 pendant made of silver chains with a small, black ruby-like stone in the center. The pendant seemed to shimmer with multicolored light as it was held up,
[Pendant of the Witch]
[Increase spell power when activated]
[Side effect: realm restriction]
Not sure what the actual use of the item would be, Viktor told Liza to try using it. But not even one second passed, she felt uncomfortable and removed it, almost threw it away, before Viktor asked to see it. The description was a bit too vague, but side effects aside he was interested in the increase in spell power.
After a bit of thinking, he decided to try using the pendant for himself.
Suddenly a notification came into his mind.
[Your realm levels have been restricted.]
Viktor could feel his strength leave his body, and his body weakened. Worried, he quickly checked his current stats.
[Viktor Romanov]
[Strength - 46 (23)]
[Agility - 86 (43)]
[Endurance - 50 (25)]
[Battle Power - 62(31)]
"What the fuck? Is this supposed to help me, or is this just something to kill someone with?"
Considering how wearing the pendant felt, no wonder Liza immediately proceeded to throw the thing away. However, as he took it off, Viktor suddenly received a burst of spirit power. It only lasted a second, and when it was gone, Viktor was left wondering if what he felt was an illusion.
Regardless, he started to have some ideas of what this item could be useful for. It seems to act similarly to a capacitor. In other words, it would store a part of his energy, and activating it would release all the accumulated energy, resulting in an increase of power.
He decided to keep the pendant and put it in his pocket.
But, that still doesn\'t solve Viktor\'s current dilemma about his choices. Thus, he decided to ask Jessie for a bit of advice about it.
Jessie told him that she thought a tier 4 axe is very rare. Even the 60th floor would only sell out tier 3 weapons. However, considering the progression in the pillars were linear when someone manages to open the 90th level, everyone would all have tier 4 weapons.
Of course, at first, the explanation made Viktor want the axe more, however, Jessie added that most famous Saint Realm ranked spirit enhancers are strong not just because they reached Saint Realm, but also because they were fortunate enough to receive a rare battle art like the one being offered to Viktor right now.
While the axe will directly help him right now, the battle art should be something that much beneficial in the long run. Soon enough level 90 will be available and by then his axe will probably be obsolete but not the battle art.
[36 fist of the North Star - A rank - hand to hand combat manual]
Viktor looked towards the reward selection screen and checked the description of each item once again.
Since he was young, he received some training in hand to hand martial arts per the course of being a Romanov. Hence, he actually preferred using his fists instead of using a weapon. While he was lost in thought, another alarm sound from the stone panel interrupted him. It appears a faction is trying to contact him again.
The sudden contact gave him an idea.
Actually, fighting unarmed should be the best solution, especially when combined with the secret identity he has from his full body [Metal Fusion] armor. By fighting hand to hand, no one would recognize the weapon he chose. This seems to be an added benefit of choosing the manual.
With his feelings telling him that the skill was a better choice, he decided to take the skill.
\'I choose the battle art"
[You received the skill "36 Fists of the North Star"]
Now that everyone has gotten their rewards, Viktor announced to everyone in the group, "Okay, let\'s go shopping!"
"Yeaahhh! Woo!" Everyone was shouting, they were clearly excited.
Now that all of them have spirit stone credit, they can choose whatever they want and buy something themselves. Viktor has 40.000 credits, and he decided to try and find something to replace his broken axe. When it was shattered, the remains disappeared along with the virtual space, something that Viktor still regretted about
However, before he managed to choose the [Store] option, Jessie approached him and said with a smile, "Do you want to accompany me?"
"Where? What is it about, Jessie?" Viktor stared at her and asked.
"I have managed to reach the peak of the Earth realm. Let\'s go to the training room, and you can see me upgrade to Sky realm."
"Ah, right, I understand. Of course."
Viktor decided to follow her, mostly because he was interested to upgrade as well.
However, Viktor was unable to shake the mental cloud that gave him a sense of doubt in his mind. Viktor muttered as he followed Jessie from behind, "I should be able to upgrade now too, can I, Djinn?"
