Lu Li did eventually pull out some normal items, but they were still useless garbage to him.
He was going to just throw the bottle of shampoo away, but seeing its "Excellent" quality grade, he tossed it into his spatial inventory anyway, begrudgingly counting it as part of his loot.
"I refuse to believe I won't get a single good item!"
Lu Li hyped himself up, taking out all the remaining Dead Man's Chests and preparing to open them in one go.
[You have obtained: Fabric Softener x1]
[You have obtained: "Oni Chichi" Blu-Ray Complete Collection x1]
[You have obtained: 1,800 Terminus Coins]
[You have obtained: "Kuroinu" Complete Figure Set x1]
[You have obtained: 2,100 Terminus Coins]
...
After a series of blood-pressure-spiking unboxings, Lu Li finally concluded his torture. He seriously suspected these Explorers were deliberately filling their inventories with trash just to spite anyone who looted them.
Honestly, he could somewhat understand the vibrator... but bringing Blu-Rays into a Mission World? Where exactly were you planning to watch them?!
Fortunately, he did manage to pull two actually useful items, which significantly cooled his temper.
[God Slayer]
Origin: Terminus Space
Quality: Purple
Equipment Type: Sniper Rifle
Magazine Capacity: 10
Equip Requirements: Spirit 15, Strength 20, Basic Marksmanship Mastery
Details: A Terminus-produced sniper rifle obtained from a loot box. It boasts exceptional adaptability. Its damage ceiling is entirely dependent on the user.
Equipment Skill 1: Focus (Passive)
Effect: While aiming through God Slayer, it is easier to enter a state of absolute focus, significantly increasing firing accuracy.
Equipment Skill 2: God Slayer (Active)
Effect: By expending a set amount of Soul Source, the user activates the 'God Slayer' skill, attaching their Spirit to the bullet. This drastically enhances the projectile's velocity and destructive power, allowing it to damage ethereal/spiritual entities. The higher the user's Spirit attribute, the greater the power multiplier.
Cooldown: 5 seconds
Score: 195
Evaluation: It is an exceptional sniper rifle. It simply needs to meet the right person.
During the previous battle, Lu Li had effortlessly dodged the sniper's bullets multiple times, and even when he face-tanked a few, they failed to leave a mark. Because of that, he had assumed the sniper's weapon was simply low-tier garbage.
So when he felt a gun barrel inside the Dead Man's Chest, he had hesitated for a moment. But after pulling it out, the rifle's detailed stats genuinely surprised him.
Just as the Terminus Space evaluated, the sniper had just been too weak—he wasn't the "right person." There was absolutely nothing wrong with God Slayer. It was an incredibly outstanding Purple-grade ranged main weapon, undoubtedly the most valuable piece of gear in that entire Explorer team.
This weapon was clearly not something a team of their caliber could afford. The description noted it came from a loot box; the sniper must have gotten insanely lucky during a post-world settlement. Compared to this, the Purple-grade sword their captain had used felt like an entry-level budget option—otherwise, Lu Li wouldn't have been arrogant enough to catch it barehanded.
If it had the sharpness and durability of Qiu Mo, Lu Li wouldn't have dared block it with his flesh, even with Armament Haki; he would have lost his hand.
Lu Li had realized during the fight that, with the exception of the slutty female mage, the entire enemy team had incredibly mediocre Spirit attributes. The sniper's Spirit was likely barely scraping the 15-point requirement to equip God Slayer. Because of this, he couldn't unleash the weapon's true power.
Without activating its active skill, God Slayer's base firepower was inferior to top-tier sniper rifles from the Kengan world. It only functioned as a mundane sniper, with a muzzle velocity probably hovering around 800 m/s and extremely average kinetic impact.
But with a massive Spirit attribute multiplier, it ceased to be a conventional firearm. It became a supernatural weapon. Not only did its destructive power skyrocket, but it could also execute spiritual entities. It was a phenomenal ranged weapon for early-game Explorers.
The tragic irony was that, while Lu Li was a master of countless martial arts, he was largely unfamiliar with modern firearms. Having grown up in an era devoid of them, he had never been interested in guns. He knew how to shoot, but his accuracy was far from guaranteed.
Therefore, he planned to use the rifle casually during this world if the situation called for it, and sell it immediately upon returning to the Hub. If he absolutely needed a ranged weapon, he preferred "primitive" weapons like bows.
Besides God Slayer, he had pulled one other valuable item from the Dead Man's Chests.
[Heart of the Giant]
Origin: Native World #213126
Quality: Rare
Equipment Type: Accessory (Pendant)
Equip Requirements: Constitution 15
Details: A pendant forged by Dwarven artisans, harboring their blessings for the Giants. Upon equipping, Constitution +1. (Effect invalidates once base Constitution reaches 30).
Equipment Skill 1: Immovable as a Mountain (Passive)
Effect: The user gains the 'Immovable' effect, reducing the duration and efficacy of crowd-control skills by 50%. (This effect weakens as the enemy's tier/strength increases).
Equipment Skill 2: Heart of the Giant (Passive)
Effect: The user's Maximum Life Source (HP) increases by 5%, natural Life Source regeneration speed increases by 20%, and all healing effects received are boosted by 50%.
[System Note: This skill becomes completely invalid once the user's Constitution exceeds 50.]
Score: 100+
Evaluation: A tank's absolute favorite. Stack the thickest armor, take the most toxic beatings.
Lu Li ignored the system's cheeky evaluation. Although the accessory was only Rare-grade and the base attribute boost was already useless to him (since his Constitution was above 30), the two passive skills were excellent and immediately applicable.
Furthermore, a max-score Rare-grade tank accessory was worth around 10,000 Terminus Coins on the market. It was infinitely better than a bottle of shampoo.
Finally, Lu Li tallied up the total profits generated by the six Explorers. Besides the Purple sniper rifle and the Rare pendant, he had scraped together 5,400 Terminus Coins in loose change and obtained one [Small Inheritance Crystal]. The comprehensive value was well over 40,000 Terminus Coins. Lu Li was extremely satisfied.
Looking at his haul, he finally understood the profound truth behind the old proverb: Murder and arson yield belts of gold.
In the previous world, he had fought tooth and nail against Shen Wulong, essentially conquering the entire planet. But excluding the mission rewards, his net profit had been roughly 40,000 Coins.
Here, he had simply woken up early, drank a cup of tea, and slaughtered a few enemy Explorers, instantly matching that income.
Lu Li realized that this world harbored immense hidden wealth. If he played his cards right, he could get filthy rich in a single mission.
Pushing his dreams of future wealth to the back of his mind, Lu Li pulled out the final Purple Treasure Chest—the direct drop from Upper Rank Six.
Having just survived the garbage-dump baptism of the Dead Man's Chests, Lu Li didn't harbor high expectations. He popped the lid open casually.
To his complete astonishment, the Purple Treasure Chest erupted with a blinding, prismatic light—exactly like the "SSR pull animation" from the gacha games of his past life!
As the light and the chest faded, a pair of blood-red sickles rested in Lu Li's hands. Checking their stats, he was pleasantly surprised. They were a high-scoring Purple-grade dual-wield main weapon.
Even though dual sickles were a niche weapon type in the Hub market, he could easily sell them for at least 15,000 Coins upon his return.
Lu Li stored the blood sickles, stretched his arms lazily, and lay back on the soft straw, gazing up at the blue sky.
See? As expected, my luck really is pretty good, right?
Lu Li was already eagerly anticipating the loot from the remaining Upper Moons. He fully believed that with his incredible luck, every single one of them would drop top-tier Purple gear!
And if he killed Muzan... a Mythic-grade item might not just be a dream!
