Chapter 88 [Bonus ] Angelica's Reluctance

Seeing the resolution that Angelica had, Alex smiled.

"Good, I like that."

"You have to remember that determination."

"Because if you want to fight for your life, you need to have strong determination to go against a lot of things in life."

"Some things that most people might consider as crazy."

When Alex said that, he looked nostalgic.

Angelica quietly listened to Alex while also writing down his words in her heart.

Alex sighed and turned his eyes back to Angelica and said, "Angelica, as someone who also lived a life much similar to yours, I want to help you."

"Now, I want to know whether you're willing to go with me to another town or not?"

Hearing that, Angelica paused.

Then hesitation appeared on her face which gradually turned into disappointment.

Alex noticed the change in her mood and asked, "What's the matter? If you have something to say, just tell me directly."

Angelica stayed quiet for a while before saying, "...I can't leave here. I can't leave my siblings here and go somewhere else."

"That's why, I'm sorry, I can't follow you, Brother Zero."

Angelica's face is covered in sadness while saying those words to Alex.

On the other hand, Alex was stunned for a moment before he smiled.

Gently, he patted Angelica on her head and said, "What are you saying? Of course you will go with your siblings."

"I won't let you be separated from your siblings. After all, they are the reason why you're working so hard, right?"

Angelica lifted her face and saw Alex looking at her with a warm smile.

Suddenly, her vision becomes blurry and warm liquid starts dripping down on her face.

Seeing that, Alex frowned, "Hey, why are you crying? Are you hurt anywhere?"

While asking, Alex gently wipes her tears with his hands.

Shaking her head, Angelica said, "No, I'm just so happy and thankful for you, Brother Zero."

Hurriedly wiping her tearful face, she looked at Alex and smiled, saying, "To be honest, I don't know why you're helping a stranger like me, Brother Zero."

"However, somehow, I can feel it. I can feel that what you're showing me is the genuine kindness you possess in your heart."

"That's why, Brother Zero, thank you, thank you so much!"

Her face that's still wet from her tears along with the beautiful smile on her face looks unusually bright in Alex's eyes.

He can't help but get infected with her smile and his lips gradually formed a smile as well.

For a while, the two just smiled at each other without saying another word.

After that, they chatted for a bit before Alex told Angelica to go back.

"Well, it's already late. You've been here for quite some time. Your siblings are probably waiting for you back at your house."

"So, hurry up and bring them that bread. I hope they will like it."

With a smile, Angelica nodded, "Don't worry, Brother. I'm sure my brothers and sister will like it!"

"Anyway, I'll go now, Brother Zero!"

Angelica waved her hands to Alex before trotting away.

Alex watched her leave with a smile on his face.

After she disappeared from his sight, Alex shook his head and said, "Well then, it's about time I start inspecting my spoils from the tower!"

Alex opened his inventory while caressing Ferri's fur.

Soon, various items inside his inventory appeared in his eyes.

[Inventory: Pistol, Dragon Egg, Clothes, Strength Potion x42, Constitution Potion x44, Blazing Hammer x21, Minotaur's Horn Knife x17, Minotaur's King x1, Minotaur's Horn x12, Minotaur's Leather x36, Minotaurs's Blood x20, Golden Order x1, Monster Egg x1, Orichalcum x1, Resurrection Ring]

[Gold: 93, Silver: 45, Bronze: 66]

…

Looking at the items inside his inventory, a smile crept up Alex's lips.

"I only went to the tower once but the result was quite rich."

"I freaking love this tower!"

The harvest this time is indeed a lot.

And this is all thanks to Alex's talent [Fortune's Embodiment]!

If Alex didn't have this talent, having even one fourth of what he has now can already be considered lucky.

After a little inspection at his items, Alex said, "The equipment has a lot of duplicates, maybe I should sell it somewhere."

"There's also quite a lot of crafting materials… I wonder if I can hire a crafter to make use of these."

"Well, it doesn't matter what I do with it. Strength and Constitution Potions are the most valuable item from those ordinary minotaurs anyway."

Then Alex turned his eyes on the last few items on his inventory and his smile can't help but widened.

"A Boss is really a Boss, huh. Even the items it dropped are far from the items those normal minotaurs dropped."

Alex didn't even have to inspect those few items to know that they are good items.

But anyway, Alex still used [Inspect] to learn more about the said item.

[Resurrection Ring]

[Rating: Legendary]

[Effect: After dying, resurrect in any designated area. The wearer has 3 chances to resurrect.]

[Details: An item that can only be dropped inside the Trial Tower after killing the final floor Boss monster. The probability of dropping is 0.00001 percent.]

The first item that Alex inspected was the Resurrection Ring.

And immediately, he was greatly surprised after seeing its rating.

"Wow, it's just the first item and it's already legendary, huh." He said.

Then he read its details and wasn't really surprised.

"Well, this item can at least give three chances for resurrection."

"But I don't think I will really need it, after all, as long as the dungeon core doesn't break, I can revive infinitely."

Alex said while touching his chest.

The dungeon core is always with him wherever he goes.

Because of that, Alex doesn't have to always stay inside the dungeon to guard the dungeon core.

This has both its advantages and disadvantages.

Alex wore the Resurrection Ring on his finger before taking out another item from his inventory.

"Hmm, let's see this monster egg."

[Monster Egg]

[Rating: Epic]

[Effect: After hatching, get a random monster as a pet. The pet will automatically be bound to the first one it sees after it hatches.]

[Details: An item similar to a mystery box.]
