Settlement Rewards, Rule Skill Card, and Rule-based Item-Please Keep Reading!

"Relevant Department? What Relevant Department?" Mu Rufeng felt himself regain control of his body and let out a small sigh of relief.

Having cleared the instance, the Zombie Template Cheat System had been unloaded, leaving him feeling a little uneasy.

"The Relevant Department, of course," Zhou Wen said with a smile.

"Uh... the department is literally called the Relevant Department?" Mu Rufeng was a little dumbfounded.

"That's right. It's the Relevant Department. As long as it has anything to do with instances, it falls under our department's jurisdiction." Zhou Wen nodded.

"I know you have a lot of questions for us, and we have some questions for you too."

"But now isn't the time. What matters most right now is settling your rewards," Zhou Wen said.

"Settling rewards?" Mu Rufeng murmured softly.

The next second, a notification sounded in Mu Rufeng's mind.

Congratulations, provisional player, on clearing the solo instance: Scarlet Preferred

Your level has risen to LV1. You are now an official player.

The following permissions have been unlocked: Item Inventory X3, Contract Slot X1, and Character Panel.

The player has successfully become an official player, earned 2,178 Soul Coins, achieved a completion rate of 2,000%, received one Random Rule Skill Card, one Rule-based Item Blind Box, and 2,000 Soul Coins.

Note: Clearing an instance grants 100 base Soul Coins. Formula: Completion Rate X Base Soul Coins = Final Soul Coins Earned.

It has been detected that the host has cleared the instance. Cheat System unloading complete. Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Cheat System Remnant attribute: Bloodthirst. All attributes increase by 10%.

The barrage of information in his mind left Mu Rufeng's brain aching and swollen.

It took him quite a while to recover.

By then, Mu Rufeng could already sense that he possessed an Item Inventory.

Moreover, three items had already been placed inside it.

Random Rule Skill Card: After use, randomly grants one rule-based skill.

Rule-based Item Blind Box: After use, randomly grants one rule-based item.

Item Inventory X3: Only items from the Oddity World may be stored in the Item Inventory. Each inventory slot is limited to one item. Note: Soul Coin storage is unlimited.

Bloodthirst: After this state is triggered, the user becomes easily angered and irritable, forgets fear, and has pain sensation reduced by 50%. Note: This state can only be triggered by drinking blood.

"Two thousand percent completion? A Rule Skill Card and a Rule-based Item Blind Box?" Mu Rufeng kept turning the matter over in his mind.

He had to admit, he was rather excited.

Leaving everything else aside, the Rule Skill Card and Rule-based Item Blind Box alone were clearly anything but ordinary.

Those two words—"rule-based"—were enough to explain everything.

As for the Bloodthirst attribute at the end, its effects were also extremely powerful and would be of immense benefit to Mu Rufeng.

As for his three attributes, they had increased by 10% because of his zombie physique.

In other words, his original values should have been Strength: 12. Physique: 12. Spirit: 10.

"So? How was your instance completion rate?" Seemingly knowing that the settlement had finished, Zhou Wen spoke up.

"You can't see my completion rate?" Rather than answering, Mu Rufeng asked them.

"Of course we can't. Only you yourself can see your completion rate. But the higher the completion rate, the better the rewards you receive," Cheng Youlin said.

"Seeing as you not only came back alive from your first instance but also obtained a decent item, your completion rate probably wasn't low either, right?" Qu Lianhong said.

"Our Team Zhou got a 300% completion rate in his first instance and directly gained a powerful contracted ghost. That was truly lucky," Cheng Youlin added.

"Enough, you two. Stop rambling and let Xiao Mu talk," Zhou Wen said, cutting off their endless chatter.

"My completion rate was 200%."

Mu Rufeng felt that if he said it was 2,000%, they definitely would not believe him, so he lowered it by just a tiny, tiny bit.

"Wow, that's incredible! My first completion rate was only 110%," Cheng Youlin exclaimed.

"You useless lump. If Team Zhou hadn't entered that instance with you, would you have been able to clear it?" Qu Lianhong said disdainfully.

"I can't be bothered arguing with you. Xiao Mu, what rewards did you get? Let Brother Lin take a look." Cheng Youlin's gossiping heart instantly floated to the surface.

Qu Lianhong said nothing, but she too looked toward Mu Rufeng, clearly wanting to know.

Zhou Wen, however, said, "You don't have to tell us about your rewards. It's entirely up to you."

Hearing that, Mu Rufeng pondered it. He definitely needed to keep some things hidden, but he should also show them something.

After thinking it over, Mu Rufeng said, "I got one item and one personal attribute."

As he spoke, Mu Rufeng took the cleaver out of his Item Inventory.

The Item Inventory had three slots. Mu Rufeng immediately took out the Soul Coins and had them appear directly inside the bandage, where the others would not notice them.

He also stored the cleaver that had been inside the bandage in his Item Inventory.

"Hm? A blade?" Zhou Wen's gaze sharpened slightly.

"My God, it's actually a blade-type ghost item. Those are rather rare too," Cheng Youlin exclaimed again.

Qu Lianhong stepped forward and asked, "May I take a look at its attributes?"

"Of course. Go ahead," Mu Rufeng said with a nod.

Learning an item's attributes was actually very simple. One only needed to touch the item with one's palm to learn them.

That applied whether it was one's own item or someone else's.

"You're quite lucky. This blade is very good. And this bandage of yours can be considered a fine item. Did you obtain this bandage inside the instance?" Zhou Wen asked.

"Yes. I killed a bandage ghost through a scheme, and it was left behind afterward," Mu Rufeng said.

Cheng Youlin had also learned the attributes of both items, and he immediately looked at Mu Rufeng with a face full of envy.

Cheng Youlin had already cleared three instances, yet he possessed only one item, and it was an extremely useless one. How could he not envy Mu Rufeng?

That was enough to prove how difficult it was to obtain items.

"Are you selling this blade?" Qu Lianhong suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Mu Rufeng froze slightly. He had not expected Qu Lianhong to ask that.

"Xiao Hong!"

"Blade-type ghost items are indeed extremely important for survival inside instances. He's only a newcomer and hasn't even contracted an oddity yet. He needs it more than you do," Zhou Wen said gravely.
