Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 289 - 243: Instance Difficulty Out of Control, Compensation Rewards
Just as he cursed in his heart, he saw the massive head in the sky, which earlier tried to invade his mind, now revealed a look of intense surprise in its thunder-filled eyes. Then he sensed a power so overwhelming that it surpassed everything else arriving in this world. This force wasn’t violent; it was calm and stable, steadily and forcibly pressing the gigantic head in the sky back into hiding, even though this ancient god-like presence became extremely furious and violent in the process, it was of no avail.
After the things in the sky disappeared, he felt this force affecting the sea ship he was on. All those behind him who exploded because of the stare from that ancient god-like existence began to recover as if time itself was rewinding.
From the blood-splattered state all over the deck, they quickly reassembled, and in the blink of an eye had reformed into human shapes; the details of these human forms rapidly restored, and in one or two seconds had turned back into complete living people, their eyes showed expressions of either confusion or shock.
"The instance resurrected them all? That’s acceptable... but what about me? I just took two beatings for nothing? This is too unfair!"
Wang Zhifan witnessed all this and only felt he had an old gripe to vent. He currently looked like the most unlucky and downtrodden one.
However, the instance obviously didn’t forget about this ultimate unlucky fellow, because he soon saw new light screen information flash before his eyes.
[Due to this instance being out of control, appropriate rewards are issued as compensation.]
[Your compensation reward is: Random Item Chest (Excellence) X1, Equipment Repair Scroll (Excellence) X3.]
[Compensation rewards have been issued to your portable space and will not occupy your portable space volume.]
[Random Item Chest (Excellence)]
[Open this chest to randomly obtain an item of excellence level.]
[Equipment Repair Scroll (Excellence)]
[Use this scroll to perfectly repair equipment of excellence level or below.]
"Nearly got me killed and the compensation is just one excellence item? Really stingy! But getting the equipment repair scrolls is decent."
Seeing the compensation rewards before him, just one excellence level chest, Wang Zhifan suddenly felt a bit angry. However, the three excellence level equipment repair scrolls did please him since the Invisible Deceitful Clothing and Demon Dragon Battle Armor he wore were damaged in the battle with that mysterious woman and urgently needed repairs, otherwise, he would suffer a major loss from this instance.
Without any hesitation, Wang Zhifan first took a Celestial Essence Elixir from his portable space and consumed it for healing, then took out two red scrolls, which were the recently issued excellence level equipment repair scrolls, and used them respectively on the Invisible Deceitful Clothing and Demon Dragon Battle Armor he wore, making these two excellence level items which were nearly scrapped by that mysterious woman instantly restore to new, slightly improving his mood.
As for the use of the third equipment repair scroll, he carefully checked the gear he was wearing and found other equipment had insignificant damage, only Thunder Dragon Fury’s blade was slightly chipped but did not affect its use. He planned to wait until this weapon’s condition was significantly worse before using the scroll to repair it.
After finishing the equipment repair, Wang Zhifan then prepared to take out and open the random chest, but before he did so, Chen Ming and Chen Can, who had just been revived by the instance, approached him.
"Fan, what happened just now? How come in the blink of an eye we were notified that the instance was out of control and received compensation? But it feels great to get a fine layer gear for free."
Chen Ming, at this moment, was putting on a pair of navy blue patterned gloves, which Wang Zhifan had never seen him take out before, and there was an empty box left behind him, apparently just obtained from a chest he opened.
"I also got a fine layer gear as compensation, but what came out was a stick, not very suitable for me to use."
Beside him, Chen Can was holding a large coral-colored wooden stick, which, matched with the suit he was wearing, gave a bit of a suited bandit vibe.
"Just now a big head appeared in the sky staring at us, did you two forget?"
Wang Zhifan heard them and turned around to reply, his eyes showing inquiry.
"Did that happen? I just remember us chatting about when you’d reappear with that woman, then suddenly lost consciousness..."
Chen Ming scratched the back of his head, his expression uncertain as he answered.
"I seem to remember there was something in the sky, but didn’t see it clearly before knowing nothing."
Chen Can also chimed in.
"The instance anomaly was caused by that guy; its power was so strong that I couldn’t resist. I thought we were done for, but luckily the instance identified the issue and suppressed it."
Wang Zhifan didn’t mention the situation where they both exploded into blood mist, giving them a simple explanation of the cause of this instance anomaly. They chatted briefly about this aspect and then the topic shifted to the compensation.
"Fan, what tier is your chest? Surely not just fine layer, right?"
Chen Ming showed great interest in this question as he noticed the word "appropriate" in the compensation rewards notice, sensing that Wang Zhifan should be different from them, considering Wang Zhifan had previously been made to disappear by that mysterious woman, whereas they hadn’t had such an ordeal.
"It’s excellence level... but don’t think I’m taking advantage; in reality, I was nearly beaten to death by that woman. The process was extremely dangerous, her power was very strong, doing another round of the previous fight might cost my life. Even getting one excellence reward as compensation seems lacking."
Wang Zhifan told this duo truthfully, partly because they were his teammates and he didn’t bother to lie, and partly because his current strength and status matched such level rewards; there was no need to lie about this.
"Excellence level reward! Damn! Fan, you’re incredible!"
Chen Ming immediately exclaimed in awe and bright-eyed amazement. He knew well the rarity of excellence level gear, which even for someone like them, wealthy second generations, was hard to obtain. Because of this, he didn’t continue to probe about what excellence level gear Wang Zhifan received because that was obviously his ace.
"For the instance to compensate Fan with an excellence level reward... it means Fan’s previous battle was certainly more dangerous than we imagined."
Beside him, Chen Can appeared more composed than Chen Ming, immediately nodding to show he understood the peril Wang Zhifan faced being abducted by the mysterious woman.
The few of them then chatted about the possible identity of the mysterious woman, but couldn’t deduce much, only speculating she must have significant ties to this world’s top mysterious forces, otherwise wouldn’t attract the terrifying ancient godly head that appeared afterward.
They continued their casual talk for quite a while, then separately went to soothe the emotions of other crew members on the sea ship, and this thrilling day returned to the previous weeks’ boredom and calm. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
When Wang Zhifan returned to the captain’s room, only then did he take out excellence level random chest, but just as he half opened it, a familiar reward choice menu flashed before his eyes; it seemed this random chest was not truly random in his case either.
