Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Inventory Gains_1

Mu You manipulated the zombie of the man in black, rushing into the sea. Carried away by the waves into the deep sea, it was only after getting far enough that he collided with a random fish in the deep sea to trigger a self-explosion.

After doing all this, Mu You immediately returned at the fastest speed to the city.

It was only until he got home that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

All four people who had seen him were now dead, their bones shattered to dust, utterly indisputable in death.

What was fortunate was that the downpour tonight had also helped him wash away all traces of the battle.

However, he couldn’t relax just yet. After all, it was now the era of transcendent beings, and who knows if there were any strange abilities out there that could reveal his presence.

So after returning home, Mu You first took out the parchment scroll and gave it a glance, opening the game to double-check its text description, then went to the forum to search ’Blood Covenant Scroll’.

The result was as the man in black had said, this item would make a direct contract with the soul, and the violator would be burnt to death at the scene.

Upon confirming the effects of this item, Mu You felt reassured in his heart. He took out the old mobile phone and dialed the only number on it.

"Hm? What’s up? Why are you calling so late?" The phone was picked up after a while, a groggy and slightly irritated voice came from the other end, clearly Lu Yao had just been awakened from her sleep.

"Do me a favor." Mu You said.

"What?"

"Hide all traces of my existence and actions tonight. You can do that, right?" Mu You said.

"Huh?"

The other side seemed to become slightly alert upon hearing his words, after a few seconds of silence, she asked doubtfully: "I can, but... what happened to you? Why do you suddenly need my help with this?"

"Don’t worry about it. In short, if you do this favor for me, I promise to help you out once in the future. Also, I have a blood covenant here, open up the game on your end, let’s enter into a contract."

Mu You stored the Blood Covenant scroll into the game and activated the item in the game.

"Please enter the game ID, name or forum ID of the other signer, at least one of them, and imagine the appearance of the other signing person in your mind to confirm their identity."

Mu You did as instructed, entering "Lu Yao, Torchbearer" in the input box, and then recalled the image of the little girl he had seen on the rooftop that day.

"Identity confirmation is complete, please enter the contract terms."

Another input box appeared below.

Mu You pondered for a moment, and wrote three conditions on it.

First, assist him in concealing all his existence and actions tonight.

Second, any event related to him that happens tonight cannot be revealed to a third party.

Third, as long as it does not harm his own interests, he will help the other party do one thing in the future.

After entering the information, he hit send.

A few seconds later, Lu Yao’s surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Holy crap! Are you being this formal?"

Lu Yao naturally received a in-game prompt with three contract terms written in a very formal manner. She immediately became completely awake seeing this.

Even if she was a bit slow, she understood something major must have happened.

"It’s necessary."

All Mu You did was calmly utter this phrase, his tone carrying a weight that left no room for questioning.

"...Alright, since it won’t put me in a disadvantage."

Lu Yao grumbled, and then seemed to remember something: "Hey, just to clarify, the werewolf matter is not included. That was agreed upon between us before!"

"Agreed."

"Okay, I’ve signed. Now, can you tell me exactly what has happened?" After Lu Yao finished the signing process, she hurriedly returned to gossip.

Mu You glanced at the notification on his phone and confirmed that the contract was complete. He nodded, "It’s a long story. Check the news tomorrow, and you will naturally know..."

"Hey hey hey hey, what news? What do you know? You better tell me straight away, what’s wrong with you stopping halfway, damn it, are you not going to let me sleep now..."

The other party fired a barrage of questions, but Mu You had already hung up the phone on his end.

Now that the most pressing issue at hand had been solved, he finally had the time to carefully inspect his loot from tonight.

Mu You waved his magic wand, opening up his bag and taking out eight packages of different sizes.

These eight bags were all from the black-clothed man and the other seven members of the Illuminati he had encountred that night, all of them were here.

Mu You couldn’t wait to open each bag and take a look inside.

The result, however, left him a bit disappointed.

Inside the eight backpacks were mostly items from the real world: pots and pans, clothing and bedding, daily necessities, all utterly useless.

After rummaging through all eight bags, the useful magical tools he found were just eight in total, averaging one piece of loot per person, and they were all small trinkets that couldn’t even fill a small paper box.

The combined wealth of eight players was only this much, which seemed impossible.

Reflecting on the scenes where the wizard’s hat of the fat guy and the magic wand of the black-clothed man disappeared into a dust of light, Mu You speculated that a good portion of the loot might have been taken back by the game.

With this in mind, he took out his phone, opened the Fool’s Forum, and searched for the term ’loot drop’.

The first post that was returned, directly answered his question.

"Experimental Study on the Rules of Loot Drops After Killing Players in the Real World," was a post published on a foreign forum, which the forum had automatically translated into Chinese for him.

A typical paid post, priced at 20,000 US dollars, not too expensive, Mu You paid the fee and opened it right away.

"I believe many people have noticed that after killing a player in real life, a portion of the loot will be reclaimed by the game. I recently took on a few assassination contracts and kidnapped seven or eight players. While killing them, I studied the loot drops and summarized four rules. No bullshit, here are the conclusions."

"1. Items held in the game by the player and not taken out before death will be 100% reclaimed by the game upon death."

"2. Magical items retrieved from the game, except for spatial equipment, only one random item will remain after the owner’s death, the rest will be reclaimed by the game, and the higher the level of the item, the higher the probability of it being reclaimed."

"3. Familiars that appear in reality and all living magical creatures will not be reclaimed after their masters’ death."

"4. All reclaimed items and the player’s skin will drop in the Star Spirit World, in the dwelling bound to the game character (if there is no dwelling, it will drop in place), becoming ownerless property, whoever picks it up, it’s theirs."

"In summary, hehe, if there are some items that you must get from your enemy, you’d better find their location in the game in advance. After killing them, you can directly pick up all the dropped items in the game."

...

"So that’s how it is..."

After finishing reading, Mu You finally understood. No wonder there were so few magical items in these eight bags. It turned out that only one item could be dropped after each person’s death, and the rest would be reclaimed by the game.

Coming back to his senses, Mu You finally turned his attention to the loot in front of him.

Among the eight items, three were magic wands, while the other five were a crystal, a dice, a transparent mask, a brush, and a pen.

Mu You stored all these items in the game, then proceeded to open the descriptions one by one.

"Red Oak Wand: A wand made of red oak wood, increases the power of all spells by 5%."

"White Bone Wand: A wand made of mysterious white bone, increases the speed of spell casting by 10%."

"Cutting Wand: Increases damage of Flame Spell by 10%, comes with a low-level spell ’Cutting Technique’: When casting magic and waving the wand, it automatically forms an extremely destructive cutting wind blade at the front of the wand."

Three wands, two of which were ordinary wands that could only increase the speed of spell casting or the power of spells, and the increase was so low, no more than 10%, there was almost no difference compared to a basic wand.

The only useful one was the ’Cutting Wand’ he had confiscated from the fat wizard.

Mu You took out this wand and found some materials at home to test its power. He found that its sharpness was not inferior to the Poker Flying Card at all, cutting steel bars and iron plates was as easy as cutting tofu!

Naturally, this wand was not as valuable as the Phantom Wand, but it was decent as a backup wand. In close combat, it could double as a short sword, and it was great for catching people off guard in actual combat!

He had been caught off guard by this wand the first time he fought with that fat wizard, almost losing half of his arm, and had to rewind time on the spot to dodge it.

Putting away the wands, Mu You looked at the rest.

"You have obtained an ’Omniscient Crystal (Hidden Relic)’, a ’Lucky Dice (Ordinary Relic)’, a ’Merfolk Mask’, a ’Silver Backed Brush’, and a ’Quick-Drawing Pen’."
