Translator: 549690339
“Congratulations on clearing ‘Abnormal Creature Shelter 407′′‘
“Labyrinth exploration degree 87%, received A-rank reward, fixed rewards 100%”
“Superior strategy: Random card draw reward +30%”
“Monster Slayer: Additional card draw reward +20%”
“Strength in weakness: Additional card draw reward +25%”
“Lightly injured: Fixed reward +2%”
“BOSS Slayer: A-rank reward for ‘Fallen Witch Sect’ +5%; A-rank reward for ‘Sorcery Gambler’ +7%; A-rank reward for ‘Shadow Demon’ +7%...”
“Completed hidden plot exploration*?, hidden reward +15%”
“Overall evaluation S, received clear chest reward*!, special settlement chest*!”
(Note: Chest probability draw items, the higher the settlement award evaluation, the greater the chance of getting high-quality items)
Looking at the series of settlement evaluations, Leonard Churchill was a little confused.
But considering that he had killed several major bosses, the rewards should be good.
He looked at the two chests floating in mid-air, lightly touched them, and the plot chest opened with five hexagram cards.
Below was the enlightenment: “30% chance of drawing a white card, 57% chance of black iron card, 10% chance of silver, special 3%”
The second special chest contained only one card.
“Draw a card?”
Leonard looked at it and laughed, it was another gambler’s game.
Choose one out of five.
He casually clicked on one.
Without a silver glow, two cards suddenly appeared before him.
“Opened clearance chest, received ‘Skill- Advanced Firearms Mastery’*!”
“Opened special settlement chest, received ‘Relic- Clown’s Mask of All Things’*!”
Leonard looked at the two cards in his hand and their attributes, his eyes lighting up.
The plot chest didn’t draw a 10% silver card, but it’s not a black iron either.
The rewards seemed better than expected.
He looked at the card: “Did I draw the special 3%?” Thê ïñčëptïøn øf thïš çøntënt çån bë tråçëd tø n0v€1b¡n★
“Skill- Advanced Firearms Mastery”
Detailed explanation: Black iron skill cultivation card, requires Intermediate Firearms Mastery, after use it grants Advanced Firearms Mastery, possessing unimaginable shooting skills.
His shooting skills that he’s been practicing for years were only at an intermediate level.
But this card is advanced.
“Another skill cultivation card...”
Leonard looked at the card with the firearms pattern and silently muttered to himself.
He remembered that Camilla had said that skill cultivation cards were extremely rare, and were considered the most valuable of the same quality cards.
He didn’t expect to get two in this Alternate Dimension.
So that means his card drawing luck was actually not bad?
It seemed that the high evaluation of the settlement led to a high chance of drawing this card?
Leonard estimated the usage time of this equipment in his mind, thinking, “The equipment continuously consumes Mental Power. This means I can only use it for about ten minutes now?”
Normally, it should last for about twenty minutes, but he didn’t think running out of Mental Power was a good idea.
The properties of this mask are some words that he can’t fully comprehend, so Leonard doesn’t know if it’s strong or not.
But suddenly, after he put on the mask, he saw a very intuitive numerical change in the series of status BUFFs on his Attribute Panel: Dark Affinity 25.
His original Dark Affinity was only 5, and the mask temporarily added 20. “Huh... Now that my Dark Affinity has reached 25, can I now learn that Skill ■ Shadow Submarine?”
Leonard took out the Skill Cultivation Card that he had in his pocket from the Shadow Devil, and tried.
The Enlightenment Display really worked!
Compared to the mask, he felt that this Skill ■ Shadow Submarine was the life-saving trick at the moment.
Without much thought, Leonard directly used the Cultivation Card.
As the card disintegrated into powder in his hand, the dreamlike inspiration swept through instantly, and “Skill ■ Shadow Submarine Lvo” appeared again on the Skill Panel.
He really learned it!
Compared to Firearms Proficiency, a skill he had mastered in his previous life, this Skill – Shadow Submarine was truly an extraordinary ability.
Leonard felt very strange.
When he tried to use the skill, a magical scene unfolded before his eyes.
Before his eyes, his body actually gradually melted into the darkness, disappearing without a trace.
How to describe that state...
Like diving underwater, the dark elements instantly concealed and enveloped his body, and he felt his whole body sinking into the dark elements.
What previously felt like nothingness, the dark element, now felt like water. He could clearly touch it.
But a few seconds later, a staggering figure emerged from the darkness.
Seeing himself reappearing from the darkness, experiencing extraordinary abilities for the first time, Leonard was still immersed in that magical experience.
Just like a fish in water.
But suddenly, he was dropped onto land again.
He immediately understood something: He was out of Mana.
The Attribute Panel showed: Curse Power 1/13
This bit of Curse Power was the bit of Extraordinary Traits left behind after devouring two corpses.
Leonard thought to himself, “Curse Power is the Mana to use as a Curse Card Master... this world must have some sort of Breathing Method or cultivation Secret Skill.”
He had seen Camilla meditating before. That rhythmic inhalation and exhalation might be the Secret Skill to cultivate Curse Power.
It looks like he needs to pay attention to this kind of thing after he leaves.
Was what Leonard thought.
A few seconds of experience opened up many thought paths for him. If he could stay submerged in the darkness for longer periods of time, this ability would be a must-have at home.
The Clown Mask drastically drains Mental Power. Leonard took it off, and his Dark Affinity also changed from 25 to 5.
Then he found that the Skill Shadow Submarine had greyed out.
Without such high Dark Affinity, he couldn’t sense the dark elements anymore.
The skill was indeed imprinted in his mind, but his body couldn’t perform it.
Before, it was like swimming in water. Now, it was like being in the air. The movements were the same, but he couldn’t swim.
As expected.
Leonard didn’t think much of it, proceeding towards the Twisted Light Gate that would leave the Alternate Dimension.
He was ready to explore this new world..
