Chapter 8 - **Chapter 8: Absolutely Incredible 2**

Absolutely incredible!

Seriously, what the hell!

Leon felt that he didn't even need to keep drawing prizes; with his current gear, he could definitely make a name for himself in neighboring Arkham!

Despite the place being full of talented people with a simple and honest style, Leon could guarantee that if he got injured on the first day and used that toothbrush in front of everyone like that, he'd be up and about the next day, performing surgeries left and right, starting with an anesthesia technique!

With something that simple, even the Joker wouldn't dare mess with him.

After all, everyone's a bit unhinged there.

Who acts like they've got their head screwed on right?

Besides, who would want to mess with a doctor who can save your life and give you a whitening, scar-removing facial treatment at the same time?

"Next up! Let's welcome our next victim!"

"Huh? Now this is… fate!" Leon opened the sixth box, and inside was something extremely interesting!

**[Painted Demon Death Makeup]**

Effect: Different makeup styles grant different abilities (specific enhancements depend on intelligence attribute).

Skill Level: 1 (Unlocked Makeup: Joker)

Note: Let's put a smile on that face!

Hmm...

No doubt about it.

This was clearly referencing the Joker, whom Leon had just been mocking in his mind.

Gaining different abilities based on different makeup styles?

What kind of ability could the Joker's makeup give? Ten years of brain damage?

The Bat's not around here, where are we supposed to find a raspy-voiced, weirdly dressed Batman?

"Looks like I need to do some testing," Leon muttered, but his body was honest enough—he learned it right away.

You can never have too many skills!

Worst case scenario, you go a little mad—no big deal. Leon wasn't afraid of that.

He knew he wasn't exactly normal either.

**Seventh Box.**

Garbage.

**[Sweet-Hearted Bun]**

Grade: White

Quality: Perfect

Effect: Super filling, really filling.

Note: It's not as pretty as you think~

"It appeared!"

The white, perfectly rated junk Leon had been dreaming of!

Next up, a new dreamer!!!

**[Ring of Falkher]**

Grade: Blue

Quality: Common

Effect: Dodge +1, All Stats +2, Magic Defense +3, Physical Defense +4, Shooting Accuracy +5.

Note: Special uses have special uses altered for special uses.

Note 2: How to find out a girl's ring size without her knowing?

1: Ask her ex-husband.

2: The hospital can reattach fingers in under two hours.

3: Just go with this one.

Leon: ...…

First blue item.

Is it powerful?

Yes, absolutely powerful—no doubt. An eight-point boost to all stats is like a level and a half worth of attribute points, and the seven points of defense are comparable to a green-grade item, plus…

"There really are hidden attributes that aren't listed!" Leon felt like he had discovered a little secret of the system!

This got interesting. Since he could draw equipment that increases dodge and accuracy, what about other attributes?

Charm?

Luck?

And this was just a blue item; there were also purple and gold grades above it.

Moreover, since the system could hide certain attributes from being available for point allocation, who's to say it can't do the same with equipment grades?

Leon was a meticulous person; all of these were reasonable assumptions.

"The item is good, it's just that note…"

How special does it have to be!

What was this ring originally used for, damn it! And the name is extremely suspicious too, isn't it?!

Still, he put it on.

Feels great!

Heavenly blessings! Buddha, God, Daoist immortals, the Celestial Emperor of the Four Realms, and the Yellow Deity of Prosperity, bless me with some good stuff!

Belief systems are all about believing and you'll see it; Leon understood this well: left eye twitch for wealth, bless the heavens. Right eye twitch for disaster? Screw that!

Next up, a new dreamer!

**[Ding's Horse-Cleaving Sword]**

Grade: Green

Quality: Excellent

Effect: Sharpness +2

Note: This person is my closest loved one, a brother from another mother! (extra charge!)

Well now!

A weapon!

"This, this is familiar to me! Isn't this the long knife of that famous Ding Xiuxi, known as 'Add Money Master'!"

The sheathed long knife wrapped in a specially made scabbard was about the length of an average staff, just a bit shorter.

Standing it on the ground, with both hands gripping the hilt, it nearly reached Leon's mouth. Given Leon's height of 181 cm, the blade must have been around 1.6 meters long.

"Holy smokes! Wow, just wow! It's a good 60 cm taller than Guo's height!"

Removing the outer cloth, Leon grasped the scabbard with his left hand and the hilt with his right—long sword unsheathed!

Against the dark exterior, the blade gleamed like silver, bright as snow!

With a clang, the sword rang out! Swinging it wildly would splash water...

Ahem! Wrong script!

Leon couldn't swing a sword to save his life. Such high-level stuff like swordsmanship had nothing to do with him!

He just swung it around aimlessly to get a feel for it, test its weight, and build some rapport.

To really swing it around properly, well, there just wasn't enough space.

Leon's house wasn't that big; there was no room to wield it.

That's also a downside of this sword. There's some truth to "longer reach, stronger attack," but that truth isn't always practical.

For instance, in narrow alleys, cramped rooms, dense forests...

Logically, given Leon's current strength of 19 points (counting equipment) and 22 points of agility, the best-suited melee weapon for him really would be something long and heavy like this strength-type weapon.

Because of his extreme physical attributes, he could make the most of using such a weapon.

Leon just tested it out; this Horse-Cleaving Sword—though it's called a sword—actually looks more like a long knife. But whatever the system calls it is what it is.

Sword, it is then! Swords are good, swords are advantageous…

Went off on a tangent!

Ordinary people might find wielding this sword quite challenging; the length is secondary; the weight, easily seven or eight pounds, is the main issue.

That weight definitely makes it a heavy weapon, and its length shifts the center of gravity forward, making it harder to use.

But Leon could hold it straight with one hand.

Swinging it around may not be very skilled, but it wasn't hard for him.

With a lack of technique, a weapon like this could indeed maximize Leon's strengths.

"Not bad!"

Under the sunlight by the window, he examined the blade closely. He couldn't see much, except that it was pretty sharp. If Hua Qiang used this sword to slice watermelons, he'd probably smash the cutting board too!

Sharpness +2? You must be joking!

Sheathing the sword, he realized that with his current height and long arms, a shorter person wouldn't be able to manage it—they'd need help!

All things considered, this round of draws wasn't bad; there were quite a few good items, even a blue-grade piece.

You can tell this system isn't made by Tencent. A 10% drop rate actually means something good!

Having drawn so many great items, Leon felt content. Even if the last one turned out to be trash, he'd accept it.

One shouldn't be too greedy; contentment brings happiness!

Next... uhh... next...

"Blessings from all ancestors, the lottery king, the luckiest man in the world, gods of all nations, bless me!"

"Give me—something—GOOD!!!"

**[Seven Wolves Belt]**

Grade: White

Quality: Common

Effect: Intimidation against bratty kids +5

Note: Please give the child a complete childhood.

Leon: "Damn, incredible!"
