Scales

An excited heart, trembling hands.

Leon opened the first box.

[Hippie's Red Headscarf]

Effect: Charisma +1

Tier: White

Quality: Normal

Remark: That man who symbolized freedom!

Leon: ...

A new entry—another new entry!

And it was a universal entry that worked even outside combat. But this red headscarf...

"Don't even need to think about that remark. Banana-kun, Four Li!"

He would find a chance to give it away. Leon would never wear it himself, even if he went without headgear forever!

He just felt that wearing it would cause something irreversible to happen!

"Coulson would be perfect! It could cover up his bald spot!"

And so, the matter was happily decided!

Leon tossed it straight into the system inventory to gather dust, thinking he could just treat it as a hand rest!

The second one!

[Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique]

Effect: The caster can create a varying number of clones. Clones can use the original body's skills (excluding equipment). Clones possess the same Strength and Agility as the original body. Stamina is divided evenly among them. The exact number depends on skill level and the caster's intelligence attribute.

Level: 1 (Can create 2+2 clones)

Remark: Is this your excuse for breaking up with me~ If love could start over...

Oh! This one was pretty good!

After carefully reading the effects of Shadow Clone Technique and combining them with the system data, Leon understood how to use the skill without much thought.

Simply put, if Leon had 20 points of Stamina, then the four Shadow Clones—not counting himself—would each have 50 HP. Once they took more damage than that, they would probably turn into a puff of smoke and disappear, just like in the original work.

As for the number, the 2+2 probably meant two from level one of the skill and two from 20 points of intelligence.

"I remember this thing can be used like a hyperbolic time chamber! Several times the learning efficiency!"

Holy shit!

Blind Monk! You found the key point!

Wasn't this a perfectly legal bug for grinding skill levels?!

Leon was already getting impatient...

Keep going, keep going!

The third one!

[Watch-Type Anesthetic Dart Launcher]

Effect: Can fire one detachable miniature high-potency anesthetic dart. The anesthetic effect depends on the target's Stamina.

Tier: White

Quality: Fine

Remark: Some uncle got hit in the neck by more than 600 darts and was totally fine. Don't worry, it's absolutely safe!

Hehehehehehehehe...

Next!

[Gintoki's White Wig]

Effect: Charisma +1

Tier: White

Quality: Normal

Remark: Zzzt? Kaza da!

This thing could increase Charisma too?!

Leon found that impossible to accept! This naturally curly emo wig would probably drop his Charisma into the negatives, just like Su Xiao from Akame ga Kill!!

"Package it up and give it to Coulson. A white curly wig plus a red hippie headscarf—Charisma plus two! Made for him!"

Next dream chaser!

The box opened, and Leon's eyes lit up! Not figuratively—his eyes actually lit up!

That box was glowing!

A magnificent radiance flickered!

After the light faded, a rough, ugly chunk of wooden stump appeared before Leon.

He hurried over to inspect it.

[Wooden Arhat's Solo Wine Barrel]

Effect: Produces one cup of alcohol every 12 hours, with random quality, variety, flavor, and effects. The alcohol's effects are random, up to Purple tier.

Tier: Purple

Quality: Perfect

Remark: Smooth on the palate... a century-old recipe... national cellar... sauce-fragrance technology... May I ask where the tavern lies? A monkey rides a tree, while cattle plow the earth!

"From that remark alone, the author must have drunk a fucking lot while writing it!"

Jokes aside, this equipment was genuinely awesome!

"Purple Perfect!"

Leon's greatest hope for this draw had only been getting something Purple. As for quality, he had not dared to hope for much. Ever since he started drawing, Perfect quality seemed to have only appeared on White items.

Wasn't this an endlessly self-sustaining supply store?!

Profit! Huge profit!

Leon turned the large chunk of wood over and over, admiring it for a long while. Its dull black exterior, which he had just found ugly, now looked elegant and noble. Its crooked shape, with branches jutting out everywhere, now looked naturally rustic!

Overall, this [Wooden Arhat's Solo Wine Barrel] looked like a section of tree trunk someone had sawn out from the middle. Not looked like.

It was a section of tree trunk!

But it was a valuable section of tree trunk! A fucking Purple Perfect section of tree trunk!

"Not bad, not bad!"

Leon carefully placed the wine barrel on the bedside table. Once every twelve hours, two steady returns a day—worthy of Purple equipment! Worthy of Perfect quality!

Next dream chaser!

[Transformation Spell Fragment: Black Hornet]

Effect: After use, can transform into an enlarged Black Hornet. The Black Hornet's combat power and duration depend on the user's intelligence attribute.

Level: 1

Remark: The nest was poked in the morning, and the person was gone by afternoon.

This skill...

It was useful, in a way. A smaller body meant attracting less attention and being harder to discover. In certain situations, it could still be quite useful.

But if he had to say it was useless, Leon's fighting style was all about charging in headfirst! This, this, this...

"Forget it! Better than nothing! At worst, it's still a skill. Better than another White Perfect item! Just looking at those pisses me off!"

Come to think of it, just how incomplete was this Transformation Spell Fragment...

Considering all the species on Earth...

Nope, not thinking about it!

Next!

[Spirit Bullet]

Effect: An energy-based shockwave fired from a finger. Its power and number of uses depend on the user's level, as well as Strength (power) and Stamina (number of uses).

Level: 1

Remark: One-Finger Yang Technique! Electromagnetic Cannon! The original Kamehameha! Hand pump! (Wrong! Very wrong!)

Another skill! And it was an iconic skill from an anime Leon really liked!

"What the hell is with that remark! Though... it doesn't seem entirely wrong..."

⊙﹏⊙

Leon remembered that, in the original version, Spirit Bullet could apparently only be used once a day or something. But he vaguely recalled the protagonist using it more than once in a single day as well.

It had been too long ago, but none of that mattered now. At any rate, he definitely would not be limited to one use.

"I'll test it properly later. Finally, I have a legitimate combat skill!"

Looking at his skill list was enough to make listeners weep and viewers piss themselves!

[Anesthesia Technique: Physical]

What the hell was that?!

He learned it immediately. Resisting the urge to fire one at his landlord's floor, Leon kept telling himself, Wait until tonight... Wait until tonight to test it somewhere without people...

He clenched his fists so tightly that he did not dare let even a fingertip show, afraid he would punch through his landlord's floor and have to pay for it.

A god among men had fallen to such depths. Was it the distortion of morality or the loss of humanity?!

Next... victim!

Another burst of...

Golden light?

Holy fucking shit!

No way!

This time, there was actually a bug!

Gold!

Wasn't Purple supposed to be the highest?!

Without even waiting for the light to fade, Leon thrust his hand directly into the source of the glow!

Then he pulled out a... piece... a... scale?

"Hm?"
