Chapter 325: Purchase Summoning Skill
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
“After such a long scenario, I got something like this...” Before Feng Bujue came to the second glass tube, he was still grumbling. “And what is the ps in the remark... the self-mockery of the program... To be fair, this should be some data that was meant to be deleted.”
“Please select your additional reward: 1, a random draw of equipment matching your level; 2, 50,000 Game Coins; 3, 116,000 EXP”
The familiar window appeared before Feng Bujue, but this time, he did not make his decision as quickly as usual.
“My current exp is 134,300/290,000. Even with an extra 116,000, that will be...” Feng Bujue calculated it. “250,300, right? There’s about 40,000 exp to the next level. Even if I get the extra experience now, it’s not enough to level up, and I still need to queue for another scenario. In that case, I might as well go for equipment...”
Due to the disappointment from the skill card, Feng Bujue used a gambler’s psychology and hoped that he would get something good from the extra equipment that he had not selected for a long time. Therefore, he bet on his own luck again and chose the random equipment. The white light gathered, and a curved metallic plate the size of a bowl appeared inside the glass tube. When Feng Bujue first saw the equipment, he instinctually lowered his head to look at his chest.
“Tsk... Not again,” he said with a frown. “Even if it really is that thing, it should come in pairs...”
Obviously... he got it wrong.

He will keep making strange and nonsensical noises like ‘du du du du’. Highly intelligent and able to create many strange inventions, he appears to come from a wealthy family.

“Ok, I’ve settled on you.” Feng Bujue used 480 Skill Points and bought this skill. It was twenty points cheaper than when he purchased Casey Jones’ Mask. On the surface, this looked like a summoned creature that was useless in battle, and in reality, he was indeed useless. But then again, what could you expect from a level F summoned creature? Summoning Skill—Sailor was considered quite powerful among Level F summoning skill, so it required the exhaustion of a specific item during summoning—spinach. Other level F summoned creatures—like bats, limping zombies, and so on—they were all cannon fodder, and they were mainly for sleuthing and playing for time.
Feng Bujue processed the information about the useless level F summoned creatures in his mind for a long time and realized... only Musashi Koganei, this strange kid, had a respectable IQ among all the summoned creatures. Then, aside from battle-wise, Musashi would be more useful than other creatures of the same level.
Of course, Feng Bujue had hesitated about buying another summoning skill, ‘Summoning Skill—Toilet Paper’. This skill was completely useless and required no exhaustion, but it had one advantage. It only had a cooldown of ten minutes, but the cost of this skill was as high as 1,400 skill points. Obviously, the main purpose of this skill was for the players to repeatedly use it to train their summoning skill.
While he could have bought both skills, since he was almost close to completing the character quest, he decided to save the 1,400 skill points.
“Hmm... I’ll queue for another scenario and summon him for a chat.” Feng Bujue talked to himself after learning the skill.
As a person who spent time doing nothing... oh no, a writer who went about finding inspiration, he had seen and read many things before. This anime, Tokyo Pig, was one of his favorite works. And in this anime, the character that interested him the most was Musashi Koganei. Perhaps... they were kindred spirits.
...
After purchasing the skill card, Feng Bujue finally returned to his log-in lobby. He had squandered four hours inside the Thriller Box. Other than the professional players who needed to work, which casual player would dawdle for so long outside of a scenario?
“Hmm... I’ll only log off after levelling up to thirty tonight,” Feng Bujue said.
This time, he had a not-so-good idea. Summoning Musashi Koganei’s cooldown was eighty minutes, but he if summoned the creature right after he entered the scenario and it died soon after, he would be able to summon it again after he queued up for another scenario.
With this plan in mind, Feng Bujue chose Solo Nightmare Survival Mode. It would not matter if he failed; it was just a trial for his skill.
