SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire-Chapter 166 - E level Company Privileges Content_1
The distant tolling of the bells gradually faded from his ears...
A streak of sunlight hit his face.
Colin shook his head, squinting as he opened his eyes, and after getting used to the light for a while, he looked toward the source of the light, where he could see the not-too-intense sunshine, and he could hear the sound of vehicles passing by and people talking...
It must be morning, unless something unexpected happened.
The clock on the windowsill also confirmed that it was indeed after nine o’clock.
"God damn it, I’m back."
Colin felt the warmth on his body and suddenly understood the Human Patchwork Monster’s obsession with the sun a bit more.
Humans, indeed, needed the sun.
The psychological gloom from spending several consecutive days in cold, damp, and dark environments was now gradually dispersing with the shining of the sun’s rays.
Colin let his mind go blank and rested for a good while before getting out of bed and checking himself in the mirror.
"Good, my fingers are back, and there are no scars on my body. That thing really did spit out my body tissue before, and then the company just conveniently reinstalled it for me?"
Seeing that his body was unharmed, Colin breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he return to the bedside and pick up the parchment scroll on the nightstand...
He left the bedroom and sat in the living room. As soon as he opened the parchment scroll, he first saw information about his promotion.
[Your "Team · Promotion Task - ’Script City·Passionate Paradise’" has been completed.]
[Congratulations, you have fully completed this round of promotion tasks...]
[Your Bonfire Company Authority Level will be adjusted from "F" to "E", and your company privileges will be updated as follows—]
["Storage Room": 100 liters→300 liters.]
["Personal Resume" will include a new section: "Talent Grid".]
["Trading Area - Marketplace": The range of items available for purchase has increased, please open "Marketplace" to view details.]
[You have received an "E level Talent Lottery Ticket".]
...
"This all seems normal."
Colin glanced through it briefly, and it seemed the same as what other Employee Level E had mentioned, nothing out of the ordinary.
After that, as that information faded away, another line of information emerged.
This time it was the task settlement for this event.
"I’ve been running around this entire mission, it seems like I haven’t collected much, I wonder how the score will be."
Colin didn’t think he had performed outstandingly well on this mission nor had he acquired much, but when the settlement information appeared, he was stunned.
[In this event, your evaluation is: A+.]
[The following is the settlement for this event task—"Bonfire Points*27000", "Golden Clearance Certificate*2", "Rare Item Lottery Scroll*1", "Talent Lottery Ticket*1".]
[All items have been transferred to "Storage Room", please check.]
"What? A+?"
Colin blinked, not quite comprehending for a moment, then he realized something—
Bonfire Company had already achieved their goal through their efforts.
"I remember employees discussing in the internal group chat that Bonfire Company’s task scoring only looks at the outcome. That is, no matter how flawless or fancy the completion process is, it’s not what they focus on; they only care about the results, only about KPIs..."
"Even if you only spent three seconds in the Other World, but what you brought back is of great value to Bonfire Company, then the score is high. On the other hand, no matter how perfect the process, if you didn’t get anything valuable, the score would not be high."
Colin stroked his chin, guessing that the reason for getting an A+ was most likely because Bonfire Company had acquired the "Gene Compensation Panel".
He didn’t feel anything during the process itself and wasn’t too clear on how the company managed to obtain it...
But after exiting, he discovered that the "Gene Compensation Panel 1.0" he used to be able to summon was no longer accessible, which probably indicated that the "Bonfire Company" had secretly removed it.
He didn’t dwell on it much. Colin glanced at the mission settlement, which didn’t have anything fancy.
"Twenty-seven thousand points, feels like a bit less, huh? If that gene panel was fixed and usable again, wouldn’t it be worth way more than twenty-seven thousand points?"
Colin pursed his lips, knowing that if the thing was repaired, it would amount to doubling the overall strength of the entire company’s employees.
Moreover, this doubling of strength was something they could choose for themselves...
On calculating, Colin felt a bit shortchanged.
But he wasn’t one to nitpick, so he turned his attention to other matters.
"Golden Clearance Certificate, material for the promotion task later on. Oh, right, I can get that broken revolver fixed. A little over three thousand points plus a Golden Clearance Certificate can get me some green gear. Hopefully, it’ll be decent once it’s repaired..."
"Rare Item Lottery Scroll, guaranteed a Purple Gear at the very least, not bad..."
"Talent Lottery Ticket, the quality of this one seems to be better than the ones given out for promotions. Hmm, two draws are one insurance..."
"Draw for the talent first, then item extraction ticket next, and after that, if luck is good, continue; if not, just take a bath... Hah, just kidding!"
After reviewing a few newly acquired items, Colin’s hand reached straight into the "Storage Room". It seemed like he was going to take out the Talent Lottery Ticket, but midway changed his gesture and took out the "Rare Item Lottery Scroll" instead.
Then, without it noticing, he proceeded to draw.
It was at this moment that a familiar golden light appeared before him...
Rows of golden fonts emerged one by one upon the retina.
Another hit!
[Name: "Force - Repulsive Force"]
[Quality: Extremely Rare.]
[Status: Barely Stable (Integrity 30%).]
[Energy Level: Class A.]
[Effect: A magical card that allows the owner to briefly control the concept of "repulsion". Every hour, it can activate the inherent skill "Repulsion Burst", and it also grants the ability to apply a strong repulsive force akin to magnetism to any object weighing no more than one hundred kilograms.]
[Inherent Skill "Repulsion Burst": When activated, Repulsion Burst will emanate from the user as the center, pushing away everything around. The effect is valid within a 15m radius and impacts an area of 30m+.]
[Negative Effect "Repulsion Disorder": After using the skill, some body parts may exhibit repulsion for a period. This negative effect varies from person to person and intensifies with increased usage. If body strength is insufficient, it’s advised to not exceed one use per hour to avoid a high risk of injury or even death.]
[Note: One of the seventeen Golden Cards from "Kingdom in Cards", can achieve a combo effect with other "Force" series cards...]
[A comment from "Kattu", an inventor of Bonfire Company who prefers to remain anonymous: When surrounded, I’m just a... hell of a plug!]
[Status repair condition: Consume five thousand points, and both the effectiveness range and intensity will be strengthened.]
[The item has been stored into the "Storage Room", please check.]
"Damn, another Golden Card? The same trick, and it actually worked a second time?"
Colin was stunned for a moment, knowing the lottery ticket was indeed high grade, but there were also no fewer than double digits of people who have received "Rare Item Lottery Scrolls" from the Bonfire Company over the years... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Usually, they just got their guaranteed Purple Gear, or at best some orange gear. He hadn’t heard of anyone getting gold ones, and his first golden hit was probably due to "luck"...
The second time... that was truly lucky.
So lucky that Colin was a bit frightened.
