With an excited heart and trembling hands, Leon opened the first chest.
**[Hippie's Red Bandana]**
- **Effect**: Charisma +1
- **Grade**: White
- **Quality**: Common
- **Note**: The man who symbolized freedom!
Leon: ...
A new attribute, yet another new attribute! And this one can even be used outside of combat. But this red bandana...
"No need to think too much. Banana guy, this one's for you!"
He'd find a chance to give it away; Leon definitely wasn't going to wear it. Even if he never had headgear, he'd rather go without!
He had a strange feeling that wearing it would lead to some irreversible, weird outcome!
"Colson could use it! It'd be perfect for covering up that bald spot!"
Decision made!
Leon tossed it into his system storage to gather dust. He thought to himself, "It can be a hand warmer at best!"
Now, for the second one!
**[Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique]**
- **Effect**: Allows the user to create multiple clones. Clones can use the skills of the original body (excluding equipment). Clones have the same strength and agility as the original, but stamina is divided evenly among them. The number of clones depends on skill level and the user's intelligence attribute.
- **Level**: 1 (Can create 2+2 clones)
- **Note**: Is this your excuse for the breakup? If love could start over...
Whoa! This one's awesome!
After carefully reading the Shadow Clone skill's description and the data provided by the system, Leon quickly understood how to use it.
In simple terms, if Leon had 20 stamina points, the four clones (excluding the original body) would each have 50 HP. Any damage beyond that would likely cause them to disappear in a puff of smoke, just like in the original story.
As for the number of clones, 2+2 probably meant two from skill level and two from having 20 intelligence points.
"I remember this thing could be used like a time chamber! Multiple times the learning efficiency!"
Wow!
Blind Monk, you've discovered a game-breaking glitch!
Leon could barely hold back his excitement...
Onward!
The third one!
**[Wristwatch Tranquilizer Dart Shooter]**
- **Effect**: Fires a detachable micro tranquilizer dart. The tranquilizing effect depends on the target's stamina.
- **Grade**: White
- **Quality**: Excellent
- **Note**: There's an old man who got hit with over 600 darts and still nothing happened. Don't worry, it's totally safe!
Hahaha...!
Next up!
**[Gin's White Wig]**
- **Effect**: Charisma +1
- **Grade**: White
- **Quality**: Common
- **Note**: Zzzz? Kazzla-dah!
This thing can boost charisma, too?!
Leon was not okay with this! That messy, natural perm wig looked like it would drop his charisma into the negatives, just like Su Xiao from *Akame ga Kill*.
"Pack it up and give it to Colson. A white natural perm wig plus a red hippie bandana, charisma plus two! Perfect!"
Next dreamer!
Leon opened the chest, and a dazzling light caught his eye. This time, it wasn't just a figure of speech—it really shone!
The box was glowing!
After the brilliant light faded, a large, rough wooden stump appeared before Leon.
He rushed forward to inspect it.
**[Wooden Arhat's Barrel]**
- **Effect**: Produces a random quality, type, and flavor of alcohol every 12 hours. The effects of the alcohol are also random (max grade purple).
- **Grade**: Purple
- **Quality**: Perfect
- **Note**: Smooth entrance… century-old recipe… national brew… soy-sauce aroma technology… where's the inn? There's a monkey riding a tree, plowing oxen everywhere!
"This note... the author must've had more than a few drinks while writing it!"
Snark aside, this item was genuinely impressive!
"Perfect purple gear!"
Leon had only hoped for a purple-grade item. As for quality, he hadn't dared to dream of it, since he'd only ever seen perfect quality on white items before.
It's like having an endless supply shop for resources!
Jackpot!
Leon admired the wooden stump from every angle. Earlier, he had thought its dark, plain appearance was ugly, but now it looked elegant and noble. The twisted branches now seemed rustic and charming!
All in all, this **[Wooden Arhat's Barrel]** looked like a chunk of tree trunk someone had sawn off in the middle. Not "looked like"—it **was** a tree trunk!
But it was a valuable trunk! A purple, perfect one!
"Not bad, not bad!"
Carefully placing the barrel on his bedside table, Leon marveled at its consistent 12-hour cycle. Two guaranteed yields a day! Truly worthy of being purple-tier gear! Truly worthy of being perfect quality!
Next dreamer!
**[Shapeshifting Scroll: Mysterious Wasp]**
- **Effect**: After use, transform into an oversized Mysterious Wasp. The wasp's combat power and transformation duration depend on the user's intelligence attribute.
- **Level**: 1
- **Note**: The nest was attacked in the morning, but they didn't leave until the afternoon.
This skill...
It's useful, for sure. A smaller form means being less noticeable and easier to evade detection, which could be very handy in certain situations.
But, on the flip side, Leon's combat style was all about brute force. So, this...
"Well, it's better than nothing! At least it's a skill, better than another common white item that's just frustrating to look at!"
And just how much of this shapeshifting scroll is "incomplete"...?
Looking at Earth's biological diversity...
Best not to think about it!
Next up!
**[Spirit Bomb]**
- **Effect**: An energy shockwave fired from the fingers. The specific power and number of uses depend on the user's level, as well as strength (power) and stamina (number of uses).
- **Level**: 1
- **Note**: One Finger Death Punch! Railgun! Original Kamehameha! Hand blast! (Wait, no, that's a mistake!)
Another skill! And this time, one of Leon's favorite signature moves from anime!
"What's with the note?! Although… it's not exactly wrong…"
Leon remembered that, in the original, the Spirit Bomb could only be used once a day. Or was it more than once? He vaguely recalled the protagonist using it multiple times in a day.
It had been so long that he couldn't remember clearly, but that didn't matter—he definitely wouldn't be limited to using it just once.
"I'll test it out later. Finally, a proper combat skill!"
Looking at his skill list, Leon couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.
"What's with [Tranquilizer: Physical]? What a joke!"
He restrained himself from testing it on the landlord's floor immediately, reminding himself, "Wait until tonight… test it somewhere remote at night…"
Clenching his fists tightly, he didn't dare to extend his fingers, worried that he might accidentally punch through the floor and have to pay for damages.
A once-great man had fallen so low—was this the result of moral decay or the collapse of humanity?
Next victim!
Suddenly, there was...
Gold light?
No way!
Was this really a bug?!
Gold-tier loot?!
Wasn't purple the highest grade?
Impatient, Leon reached directly into the glowing light!
And pulled out… a scale?
"Huh?"
