Chapter 19: Gargoyle Statue

This was the first time Roger had seen space items since he teleported.

This sort of thing was extremely rare.

In Tongma Town, it was said that only the lord himself held one.

But that was just a rumor.

In Roger’s memory, the game in his previous life was indeed more restrictive in terms of storage space. At that time, he even complained about the designer because the 24-compartment backpack was too small.

But now, looking at this storage item with a regular capacity of only 4 compartments in his hand, Roger actually had an urge to cry!

He finally no longer had to carry five to six backpacks during adventures!

Objectively speaking, the space provided by [Cowens’ Stomach Pouch] was actually not that big.

There were only 4 compartments in total.

The storage space of each compartment was only slightly larger than the drawer of a computer desk.

But this also eased Roger’s urgent need to a great extent.

Element bottles, magic books, magic scrolls, medicine sachets and herbal products, one-time trap props, one-time unlocking props, silver dimes and copper orders, flint and aluminum (fire-starting props) ...

He stuffed in all the small things that could be stuffed in.

Lookinf at the orderly arrangement of the numerous items in [Cowens’ Stomach Pouch], Roger’s heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

The only regret was that when he found the stomach pouch, it was completely empty.

He wasn’t sure if it was due to the death of the Corpse Demon, which caused the items in it to also be erased by spells that the Corpse Demon had set in advance; or if it had already been empty originally.

...

In addition to [Cowens’ Stomach Pouch], the other two pieces of equipment also had their own unique features.

The first was the leather armor that Roger had picked out first.

...

[Dragon Lizard Leather Armor]

[Rating: S]

[Defense 9, Texture 11, Hardness 3, Durability 7]

[Special Effects: Dragon Lizard’s Protection (One-Time)]

[Dragon Lizard’s Protection: Automatically triggered when a large amount of damage is sustained in a short period of time. A layer of hard solid cuticle made of white film will be formed on the surface of the leather armor, which is immune to physical attacks to a great extent.]

...

Although it was just a one-time powerful protection, it was worthy of the S-rating evaluation.

For adventurers, this special effect was sometimes equivalent to a life!

It happened that Roger’s leather armor was severely damaged in the previous extreme burning storm.

Not only had its shape turned grotesque, but it also suffered a sharp drop in durability. He estimated that if he used it any longer, it would have to be reconstructed entirely.

Therefore, he simply put on the [Dragon Lizard’s Leather Armor].

“Although the coating of [Cold Fish Fat] can indeed resist the attack of flames, ordinary clothes can still be damaged. ”

“So the extreme burning storm should be used less often, or else I can consider running naked the next time I use it...”

Many strange fighting strategies flashed through Roger’s mind.

He conveniently placed the third piece of equipment in his palm, ready to use the Qi Divination Technique to inspect it carefully.

In this regard, you could say that it had saved a lot of money for Roger.

...

In summary, the Qi Divination Technique had a wide range of uses.

If it weren’t for the stamina and energy consumption, Roger would have activated it 24 hours a day.

And under the expertise of [Qi Divination], there was a thin and bright yellow progress bar, which was now very close to completion.

This was a sign that the expertise was about to be upgraded.

“I hope that after the upgrade, the consumption can be reduced a bit, not to mention other improvements.”

Roger sincerely looked forward to it.

After one thought passed, the item he put in the palm of his hand had produced the identification result.

...

[Gargoyle Statue (Forbidden Object)]

[Rating: ?]

[???]

[Seal: A gargoyle of unknown level is sealed within]

[Seal Lifting Method: ???]

...

Roger’s expression turned slightly surprised.

This was the first time he had encountered so many question marks in an item’s description.

Although this was not a special item, the term forbidden object seemed to indicate the extraordinary nature of the gargoyle statue.

After a little research to no avail, Roger carefully put the gargoyle statue away.

This thing must be extraordinary, but for the time being,?he just hadn’t found the specific way to use it.

He believed he would surely find out if he spent more time studying it in the future.

After Roger finished packing the spoils, he didn’t have time to stretch, so he opened his character panel.

During the battle of slaying the Corpse Demon, he was promoted by 4 levels in a row. Aside from the accumulation of energy, his own strength also improved slightly.

The first was attribute point and new skill.

For the Hermit Ranger profession, a free attribute point would be given with every 5th level increase, every 4th level would gain a new combat skill.

He currently had 1 free attribute point.

Roger had nothing to hesitate and directly threw it on [Agility].

This was the main attribute of Hermit Ranger.

So his agility came to 12 points.

The two new skills were as follows:

...

[Moon Walk: In a place lit with moonlight, your running speed will increase significantly]

...

[Trap removal: You can dismantle some common traps with bare hands]

...
