The trio rushed back to their shelter in excitement and immediately went to open the golden crate.
Bill did the honors this time as he pressed the button on the top of the crate and pulled on the lever next to it to open the lid. The crate made the usual small hissing sound as the lid was opened indicating the air-tight seal.
The contents of the crate were once again displayed on the holographic screen on the lid of the crate; however, this time instead of 5 items like the purple loot crates, the golden loot crate had 6 items compressed in those small little black containers.
The holographic display on the lid displayed the description of each item stored in the small little black containers and practically gave out the same explanation as Mako's Analyze skill.
The screen on the lid of the loot crate displayed:
[Advanced First Aid Kit: A comprehensive medical kit equipped with a variety of supplies for treating injuries and emergencies. It includes super absorbent bandages, disinfectants, splints, high-tier healing pills, and dissolving stitches.]
[Gourmet Self-Heating MRE x 10: Self-heating ready-to-eat mouth-watering, gourmet meals that can provide instant and warm food during emergencies.]
[Mineral Water Purification Tablets x 20: A tablet that dissolves by itself and has the ability to completely purify one liter of contaminants from water and convert them into harmless by-products. These tablets also include important minerals and electrolytes, making them a much more tasty, refreshing, and replenishing drink.]
[Emergency Shelter Tent: A lightweight and durable tent designed for quick setup and protection from the elements. It provides a secure and comfortable shelter during outdoor expeditions or emergency situations.]
[High Tier Azure Reptile Breastplate]
[High Tier Hydro Bow]
All three of them were surprised to see that there were six items instead of five, but it was to be expected from a higher-tier loot crate.
However, what excited them, even more, was the quality of the loot that they received from the golden crate.
The trio was very excited to use some of these items and so they started opening the small black little container one by one they completely collapsed once opened and revealed the object that was stored inside of them.
The advanced first aid kit had all the necessary things to heal and tend to any kind of injury that a cadet could receive on the island.
From Super absorbent bandages made with a special fabric that could soak up 10 times as many fluids as regular bandages to multiple high-tier healing pills that can help heal any physical injury.
Alongside that, the first aid kit also included disinfectants to make sure the person doesn't get infected by a disease that couldn't be cured by healing pills and also stitches that could merge with the flesh over time, leaving no mark behind on the body.
The medical kit also had a general-purpose anti-venom for low-quality poisons which made Bill a bit salty, knowing how difficult it was for Mako to even find that thing in the first place.
Since they were going to be extracted tomorrow, there wasn't any need for the first aid kit, but since it was mentioned that cadets could keep whatever they found on the island, it would be a great thing to have in case of emergencies.
The gourmet MREs and Mineral water purification tablets were a bit underwhelming considering this was a golden loot crate; however, their minds were quickly changed after Leon decided to give one of them a try.
It had been quite a while since any of them had any kind of properly seasoned food or good quality mineral drinking water, so even though these things didn't seem so great at first, just one taste was enough for Bill and Leon to start fighting over the slow roasted duck fillets that Leon was munching from the MRE.
Next was an emergency shelter that could be set up in 30 seconds with minimal effort. The trio was also a bit salty about this find as it would have been so great if they would have found this before they had to spend almost a day building their current shelter.
The emergency shelter was almost the same size as their current shelter but was compacted into a smooth ball, no bigger than a baseball with a red button that had the words "EJECT" written on it.
Just like the medical first aid kit, the trio really didn't have a need for the shelter at that moment so they decided to just save it because they were sure that the military would put them in dangerous situations in the future as well where it would come in real handy.
After they had seen the common items, they finally went for the last two black balls that contained the most important and prized loot that made searching for the golden loot crate for 3 days all worth it.
The first black ball disintegrated to reveal a beautiful teal and blue color gradient chest armor that was mostly made of scales and resembled a bit like Bill's Medium Tier Scorpion Leopard Breastplate as it had the same profile but was much more durable and strong.
Bill inspected the chest armor by hand while Erin read out the description of the beautiful chest armor so that they could all learn what kind of boosts, the armor could provide.
[High Tier Azure Reptile Breastplate]
[An excellent chest armor forged from the crystal and scales of the Azure Reptiles]
[Defense: 90]ραпdαs `nᴏνɐ| сom
[Resistance to all basic elemental attacks: +15%]
[Active Skill: Azure Shield]
[Azure Shield: When activated, the Azure Reptile Breastplate generates a sturdy energy shield that envelops the wearer and anybody else within a 4 feet radius, providing enhanced protection against physical and elemental attacks. The shield's strength is a product of the wearer's natural defense and power level. It can withstand powerful blows for a limited duration.]
[Base Shield Hitpoints: 250 HP]
[Max Shield Hitpoints: 1000 HP]
[Duration: 180 seconds]
ƥαṇdαsηθνε| [Cooldown: 1 hour]
It was a very strong piece of armor with great defensive capabilities and an insane active skill that made the wearer in an ideal sense invulnerable for 3 minutes.
3 minutes might seem like a very small amount of time, but in an intense fight where every second is precious, 3 minutes of invulnerability can really tip the scales in the wearer's favor.
As Bill grazed his hands over the beautiful chest armor, he was debating whether or not to ditch his current chest armor for this brand new and improved one, but in the end, he decided not to.
He already had a decent piece of armor that was still in decent condition and the chest armor could help other members of the group more than him.
Leon refused the offer because he stated that the armor was in the heavy armor category which didn't really suit him as he preferred light armor so that it couldn't hinder his speed.
Erin also refused the high-tier armor stating that she didn't really like bulky armor and that was the reason she didn't equip one for the test even though it was provided to them by their sponsor and instead, she gave it to Andrew.
With both of them having refused the offer, Bill decided to save it for now and gift it to a certain someone.
Erin opened the other back ball which revealed a beautiful light blue and green colored bow that resembled the ocean.
A strong power was emanating from the bow as it got dropped into Erin's hands, and Erin suddenly felt a boost in one of her abilities which was similar to when she activated her mutant gene, but just a lot less intense.
Erin was confused by the sudden intense feeling of power and asked Leon to read the description to find out what was causing this power surge.
[High Tier Hydro Bow]
[A beautifully crafted bow made from a combination of different beasts, each possessing the water ability as their primary ability.]
[Attack: 80]
[Water Affinity: Since this bow was crafted by the combinations of several different water crystals, it has gone under a unique mutation where the bow now possesses a strong affinity for the water ability, amplifying the user's water ability and allowing them to channel and manipulate water with greater precision and control.]
[Active Skill: Aqua Surge]
[Aqua Surge: By drawing back the bowstring with intent, the hydro bow releases a concentrated arrow infused with the power of water. Upon impact, the arrow bursts open, creating a surge of pressurized water that engulfs the target and those in its vicinity. The Aqua Surge inflicts substantial damage and has a chance to apply a "Drenched" status effect, reducing the target's agility temporarily.]
[Duration of the "Drenched" status effect: 45 seconds]
[Additional Damage: 30]
[This active skill has a cooldown of 5 minutes.]
[NOTE: Mastery of water ability is necessary to effectively wield the High Tier Hydro Bow. Without the ability to harness water manipulation, the bow's true potential cannot be fully realized.]
"Wow," Erin said as she gripped the hydro bow.
