Chapter 56 [Bonus ] Checking The Investment

Raydon spent the rest of the time searching everywhere he could with the Blood Bat, but he couldn't find anyone from the enemy team. This was actually quite normal. The region was too large, and Blood Bat wasn't very good at searching large areas. It was also a pure chance that he got to face the opposing team in his first match.

''Tch, well, there's nothing I can do right now.''

Raydon had no choice but to accept it. He believed that finding the enemy team in his next match would also require either a better and more effective investigative skill or a lot of luck.

Fortunately, in this match, he killed more mobs. Although he was unable to locate the enemy team, he managed to kill about 30 wolves in a wolf territory he came across during this time. Additionally, since his dimensional storage is now 3x3, it could accommodate more materials.

Raydon sighed as he observed the timer for the match's conclusion and said, "I hope the final prize for the match is good."

Raydon's body vanished into a light beam following the announcement of the system message.

Raydon opened his eyes again to find himself lying on his bed, exactly where he had been before.

''Even though this is already my second match, everything that's happened is like a dream. '' Straightening himself up, he said. If technology was responsible for all of this, then it was unquestionably something the gods combined their powers to produce.

Raydon put the unknown powers of the gods—whom he had never seen or heard of—out of his mind for now and started figuring out how much gold he would make from the match.

In total, he killed 17 snow rabbits, 6 frozen lake flowers, and 33 white wolves. In addition, he gained a total of 1560 experience after killing the Region Boss. He had no idea how much gold he would earn from all of this, but even if it wasn't as much as the equipment he had won in the previous match, he wouldn't end up empty-handed.

Items dropped by Helen were also extremely useful to him.

''Let's see what the match reward is. '' Raydon was dissatisfied after reviewing the system messages.

The white-grade pants blueprint, which he had previously won in his first match, was in front of him again. Besides, he only earned 78 gold coins.

''Please, tell me this one is something good. '' Raydon pleaded as he picked up another item that had been rewarded by the system. The object Raydon was holding resembled an oval, transparent blue egg that was about the size of his fist. Its interior was filled with strands of metallic blue.

[Ice Veins(White)(Body Enchantment)]

-Increases mana regeneration by 10% by modifying the user's veins.

''Wow, that's exactly what I was looking for, isn't it? But… '' Raydon was initially pleased to see this item, but when he considered how much of an impact the 10% increase would have, his joy faded. With this item, his mana would only regenerate in an average of 9 minutes as opposed to his current rate of 1 mana per 10 minutes.

''Unfortunately, not that useful, huh? '' This item could be very useful for those with a high spirit stat, but for those with extremely low mana regen, 10% won't make much of a difference.

''I wish there was a way to improve my other stats.'' He said with a sigh. But he quickly recovered and improved his mood.

He got out of bed, smiled sneakily, and thought as he looked out his dusty window. 'I should go see how my investment is doing.'

"Hey Pana, open your eyes, you didn't die, right? Don't scare me. '' Sami screamed and smacked his chubby hands against Pana's unconscious cheek.

''Why didn't you just pull her out, even though she was unconscious? Stupid fatty. '' Karan cried out in rage as he observed Pana's pale face.

''Hey, it's not my fault, alright? She said; "Don't pull me out even if I'm unconscious." What can I do when she is so eager? '' He said by imitating Pana's voice.

''I think I'll have to do CPR. '' Sami began to wet his lips with his tongue and then moved his face closer to Pana's face.

''ARGHH!!!''

However, he yelled and backed away as a sharp pain shot through his stomach just a few centimeters before his lips touched Pana's.

"W-what *cough* a-are you trying *cough* *cough* to do, you p-pig." Pana abruptly stood up and yelled at Sami in frustration. Her virgin lips, which she had not allowed anyone to touch for years, would have been stained by this pig if she hadn't recovered in time.

''What are you talking about, you crazy woman? I thought you were dying, and I was trying to save you,'' Sami replied, clutching his still-achy stomach.

A small amount of regret showed on Pana's face when she realized what was happening, but it was quickly replaced by anger again.

''Do not dare to do that again, pig. If something like this happens again, just let me die peacefully. ''

Pana stood up, dried her wet hair with a towel she found on the side, and approached Dan, who was currently sitting and resting on the sidelines.

''How much longer do we have to go on like this? I'm not complaining or anything, but given what he said, it seems like there wasn't a need for so much repetition. ''

Pana questioned hesitantly. She lost track of how many times she had almost drowned and passed out after Raydon had given them his instructions and left.

''It was probably enough to go through it once, but I believe we should keep going until he returns. '' Dan said as he slowly stood up. Compared to before, the color of his face appeared to have completely faded. He was occasionally stumbling even while walking.
