Kane took the first item and examined it
[Goblin Gathering]
[Summoning Talisman]
[Hue: Copper]
[Attributes: None]
[Skills: Summon Goblin Squad] (Use to summon a goblin squad: 1 goblin leader, 2 goblin sentinels, 2 goblin thieves, 5 goblin soldiers. Due to discipline issues, the squad needs 24 hours to reassemble if wiped out.)
[Description: Summon a team of cannon fodder.]
Although it didn't look great, such summoning artifacts were unexpectedly popular among explorers, especially favored in dungeons filled with traps.
It's the kind of item that you definitely want to get for your squad if you have the ability.
Kreya handed over a stone
[Kalu's Big Treasure]
[Magic Materials]
[Hue: Copper]
[Attributes: Moderate Boost in Magic Stone Energy]
[Description: The goblin centurion Kalu's collection, a magic stone he snatched]
The copper magic stone provided a moderate boost; Kane had only used minute boosts to charge magic stones before.
A minute amount could charge a magic stone by about 1/30 to 1/25. His only moderate boost was for silver magic stones, which was currently useless.
Kreya tossed over some equipment with a bit of disdain.
Kane caught it and found it was a tattered leather hat.
Too ugly; if the attributes aren't amazing, no one would wear it.
[Ancestral Leather Hat]
[Hat]
[Hue: Copper]
[Attributes:]
[Affinity Enhancement - Goblin]
[Charm Reduction - Minute]
[Description: In a goblin tribe, only tribes with a heritage of 50 years have leather hats; a symbol of power.]
What a piece of junk; Kane really doubted if it could sell for 10 gold coins.
Goblins were indeed weak and poor, but numerous.
This is the last one.
[Rune Fragment to Hidden Passage]
[Key]
[Hue: Copper]
[Attributes: None]
[Description: Kalu discovered Lord Komi's treasury. Kalu is a genius - Kalu]
(Secret Intelligence Division: The fifth level boss of the arena is Komi. Intelligence shows his magic key is broken, and he's very angry.)
[Book of Adventure] was amazing; the Secret Intelligence Division was originally a system in the game Kane played.
When a player triggers hidden items, hidden information is displayed to help locate them quickly.
Of course, this system was meant for impatient players and can be turned off.
Though I accidentally forgot to turn it off when I played.
Although no equipment dropped this time, [Goblin Gathering] and [Rune Fragment to Hidden Passage] already surpassed typical equipment.
Kane, holding [Kalu's Big Treasure], said to Kreya, "If we get magic materials like this in the future, can I have priority in selecting them? They are very important to me. I can forgo priority on suitable equipment because of this."
For a squad, loot distribution is very important.
Countless stories and tales insist on maintaining fairness in loot distribution for explorer squads.
But even silver-level squads sometimes collapse due to distribution problems.
Although Kreya was puzzled about why Kane wanted such priority, she still said, "Of course, it's not a problem, and you don't need to give up priority on equipment for this."
"You can take priority on such items as your little privilege of being a squad leader. As a leader, a little harmless privilege is expected."
"Is that so? Then I'll buy our squad's magic materials at market price," Kane thought for a moment and provided a compromise.
"But when did I become the leader?" he questioned about his sudden leadership role.
Kreya didn't answer immediately but gestured for Kane to quickly help her bag the surrounding gold coins.
The thing half-beings hate most is picking up stuff; it's simply trying their patience.
Kane, with Yoyo, began quickly collecting money. No one would dislike this kind of task.
Even Yoyo, this robot, shook happily while picking up coins.
Kreya held the bag beside, catching the coins thrown by Kane.
"Our squad has only two people. My combat style and thinking aren't suitable for leadership, but your combat style is perfect for a leader, isn't it?"
Kreya had already noticed Kane's eye skills during combat. After all, suddenly changing from human eyes to eagle eyes was quite obvious.
Although she didn't know if it was bloodline or some other gift, knowing it existed was enough without delving deeper.
Plus, Kane's capabilities were very versatile, with strong tactical attributes.
A person with such special vision, suited for multiple roles, would be perfect as a leader.
"Indeed, I have that ability." Kane never thought of giving up the leadership role.
The [Book of Adventure]'s squad and guild system hadn't been activated yet, though he already knew of the squad system's existence; he just hadn't met the activation conditions.
Teaming up with Kreya hadn't activated the system, so the most likely reason was the original game's [Bond Value].
In the original game of [Book of Adventure], adventuring with NPCs in the game and completing missions would activate a bond value system.
When the [Bond Value] reached 70%, players could invite NPCs to join their squad and adventure together.
As for whether the guild system currently exists, it's still unknown.
But if it does, the convenience it provides will let me build a world-class force rapidly.
Therefore, teammates will become Kane's first batch of helpers. When the team system is activated, these companions will grow quickly alongside me.
Even without a guild system, I will still become a top-tier powerhouse.
With a world-class team following me into the deeper mist.
This world has many strong individuals, but most are loners because their former teammates couldn't keep up.
Not before the audience reveals how much they rewarded.
When Yoyo placed the last coin in the bag, all the coins merged.
Finally, at the bottom of the bag, 25 Mist Coins appeared.
Hit the jackpot
Perhaps the bloody battle this time really thrilled the audience in the stands.
The coins thrown into the arena greatly exceeded Kane's first level.
He handed 11 coins to Kreya while keeping 10 for himself.
The remaining 4 coins were designated as the team's development fund.
After clearing the loot, Kane asked, "Kreya, how's your physical strength spent? Need to go back and rest for the night?"
This exploration of the second layer took less than half a day, and it was only noon outside.
"No need, my stamina recovers quickly, and I can return to prime condition shortly." Kreya was quite satisfied with her status, not needing to return to the tavern so soon.
Upon hearing Kreya's answer, Kane spread a layer of carpet along the surrounding walls.
He took out the portable stove from his space equipment, preparing to rest on the spot.
