章節 18: Loot

"Are you okey?" Astrid asked, appearing from behind Jay, "Yes, I guess, but what's happening to me?" he questioned, looking in Astrid's eyes.

Astrid first waved her hand, WIND BLADES, a gust of wind passes over the body of the goblin boss extinguishing the flame on its body. "Nothing is happening to you, you just used all your mana and currently suffering from mana deficiency."

Jay touched his chest and SOUL BOOK appeared before him,

[Name – Jay Skyfall]

[Age – 19]

[Rank – E Rank]

[Stats]

{HP: 300/1000, Mana: 10/650}

{Mana: 650, Strength: 510, Agility: 725, Intelligence: 500}

'Only 10 mana out of 650 mana, just how much I used it, and what's the consumption rate' Jay asked himself, but quickly brushed it off, because what Astrid said made him freeze on the spot,

"Are you not going to retrieve loot from this goblin?" She spoke looking at the boss's body, which was now turned into cinders. 'What a brutal way of dying' she thought', fire type skills were always considered brutal.

"Didn't you first said I can't retrieve loots from the corpses" he asked confused, "Well, you can't retrieve loot from normal mobs, but you can retrieve loot from boss monster. That's the rule set by the FIRST ORDER" she spoke, she don't know why FIRST ORDER do that, 'maybe they want to encourage the young people' she thought. 'Well, it's good for me' Jay didn't give hoot about what first order was thinking, if he is getting something from his endeavour, then he will definitely grab it.

'Finally, I can use this skill' Jay thought, as his gaze moved to his SOUL BOOK.

LOOT MASTER'S EYES: {User gets an exclusive skill Loot Master's Eyes: User can see all the loots of the target.}

Exclusive skill of his ability {Absolute Loot Mastery}.

Jay used this skill and green screen appeared before him, he didn't immediately look though it instead he glace at Astrid, who was looking at Jay with patience and expectation.

"Can you see this screen?" Jay asked as he pointed at the screen and looked at Astrid, "What screen?" Astrid replied, she was not seeing any screen, "This green floating screen before me" Jay explains a bit, "No" she replied.

'So, only I can see this screen' Jay thought, then he glace at his SOUL BOOK…

{HP: 305/1000, Mana: 12/650} 'So, it didn't cost mana' Jay came at this conclusion after seeing his mana stats. 'My mana and health point both increased a bit, this world really based on game mechanics'

Now he can finally be gazed on the green screen…

{LOOT}

{5-10 E-Rank cores (100% - 80%), 1 Skill book – body strengthening (25%), 5kg meat (25%), 1 piece of Equipment (10%), 1 weapon (10%), 1 Skill book – command (1%), Ability Fragment X 5 (0%)}

Jay was grinning, seeing all the loots and what made the happiest was the Ability Fragments, because who don't know what fragments are, they are pieces of a full-fledged ability, that means if he can collect these fragment then he can get a new ability.

"Awesome" Jay exclaimed loudly, Astrid got startled when Jay suddenly shouted, 'What got into him' she thought.

Jay walked forward and pressed his hand on the charred corpse of the goblin boss.

Suddenly the corpse lit up brightly golden before disappearing, leaving loots behind.

When Astrid saw the number of goods dropped by the goblin boss, she was shocked. This was not her first time coming here, and not the first-time retrieving loots, but this is the first time when she saw so many loot.

There were 10 E-Rank cores, 1 green colored skill book, a large amount of meat, a pair of boots, one iron mace, 1 yellow colored skill book, and strange pieces of crystals.

She walked toward the loot and picked the yellow-colored skill book, E-Rank skill book BODY STRENGHTENING…

{Body Strengthening}

{An active skill which allow user to increase their defence by 10% for 1 min}

{Cost: 5 mana}

"A very good skill" she spoke before picking up another book.

D-Rank skill book COMMAND…

{A passive skill, increase charisma by 10% when commanding 10 or more people}

{Cost: None}

"What how can you get a D-Rank skill out of an E-Rank monster?" she spoke, shocked. This was basic knowledge that only same rank items get be obtain.

"Well, it has only 1% chance of dropping so, you might not know about this" Jay replied scratching his back of neck,

"Yes, you are right" she sighed, then picked the pair of boots…

{E-Rank Equipment}

{Goblin Commander's boot}

{A pair of boot wear by goblin commander in Vilethorn Dominion kingdom}

{Charisma – +5%

Agility – +10%

Defence – +2%}

"This can be sold at a high price" she muttered as she picked the mace…

{E-Rank Weapon}

{Goblin Commander's mace}

{A mace once held by the great commander of Vilethorn Dominion kingdom}

{Strength – +20%}

…

"Your ability is so amazing, you can make so much money with this" she spoke cheerfully, but then her smile disappeared and a serious expression appeared on her face,

"Jay, do you really want to stay in my mercenary group Red Asura." She asked seriously, if Jay want, he can earn money so easily that within a month he can become a richest man in the city and in a year, he can even become richest man in whole America. And if he wants, he can join any clan he desires, even FIRST ORDER can give him high position if he wants, so him staying in her no name group is not good for him.

"Hmm~" Jay placed his hand on his chin and ponder, how can he not understand what she was hinting at, with his ability he can achieve anything, so why should he stay in her group.

Jay glance at her, she now had an anxious expression on her face,

Jay spoke, "do you have a boyfriend?" a very unusual question in this tense movement,

"Huh" at first, she got confuse, "No I don't" She replied, not understanding why he asked this question.

Then suddenly Jay knelt on one knee and spoke,

"Astrid, will you become my girlfriend?"
