Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 565

Chapter 565: Dividing The Loot “Equally”
Since Shye found no need for him to act, he allowed Rai Hou to appraise the items.

It then turned out that the black cloak called Safe Whisper was best suited for scouts.

Although the attribute bonus it provided was fairly mediocre, the equipment was well-suited for the current freeze situation, as it could detect traps of all grades, whether they were in plain sight or hidden in void and spatial pockets.

However, the catch was, that he needed to continuously use his mana, once again increasing his consumption drastically.

Inside the Horza Blaidde Mana Dungeon, which saps 1 mana every thirty seconds, additional consumption wasn’t ideal.

Fortunately, they had prepared a lot of mana potions. However, it was uncertain whether their supplies would last, especially now that Freeze’s mana consumption would increase considerably.

…After Rai Hou explained the effects of Safe Whisper, he handed it over to Freeze, then immediately examined the golden ring.

Meanwhile, Shye pondered how the Item Appraisal skill worked.

He found it difficult to imagine using it without the aid of the system’s interface.

However, after observing how Rai Hou closes his eyes after using the skill on the item, Shye concluded that the skill probably gave the information directly to one’s mind.

“This golden ring is called Mana’s Caress. It’s a ring finger accessory that grants a substantial twenty percent mana pool boost, enhances the offensive or defensive capabilities of spells using mana as a catalyst by thirty percent, and provides a five percent damage boost to fire-type spells.”

“It also has an activatable bonus effect that allows the user to fade into the background and be ignored by the enemy, as long as the user still has allies left.”

“Only, I don’t know whether it should go to Walter or Mira…Crowley, what do you think?”

Hearing Rai Hou’s explanation, Shye fell into a deep thought.

It was indeed hard to decide whether the ring would be more efficient in the hands of a mage or a priestess.

‘If we give the accessory to Walter, our firepower and dungeon-clearing speed would increase. On the other hand, if we give the ring to Mira, each member’s survivability would improve significantly, allowing us to endure battles of attrition against the mana dungeon’s inhabitants…’ He pondered, his eyes shifting back and forth between Walter and Mira.

In the end, Fyun’s advice to prioritize their lives helped him decide.

“I believe the item would be more useful in Mira’s hands,” Shye said.

Upon hearing their party leader’s decision, the corners of Walter’s mouth twitched, though no one noticed.

He wanted to ask why, but it would be way too obvious that he was coveting the ring if he did so.

Luckily for him, Rai Hou, who had always been a logical person, would always ask for the reason.

“Hmm, I see. However, could you kindly explain why? I believe it would be better for Walter to have it, but I want to hear your reasoning first,” the Yon Augenn champion asked curiously.

“Simple, really. I heeded Sir Fyun’s advice. There was no need to rush. The main goal had always been for all of us to return safely.”

“Hoh, I see. In that case, the ring would indeed be more efficient in Mira’s hands.”

Unbeknownst to Walter, Rai Hou had already noticed his desire for the ring and also believed it would better suit Mira.

However, the Yon Augenn champion knew Walter would be dissatisfied without an explanation.

Thus, he pretended to side with Walter, giving Shye an excellent opportunity to explain why survivability was more important than clearing speed.

This way, Walter would have no choice but to agree, and although he might still be displeased, it wouldn’t be to the point of affecting the team’s synergy.

A seasoned move from a seasoned young leader.

Embarrassed as she received the Mana’s Caress, Mira gave everyone a bow before wearing it on her ring finger, immediately feeling warm energy coursing through her body.

‘Tch, this is only temporary…once we’re out, I’ll bid for that ring…’ Walter consoled himself.

Meanwhile, Rai Hou was already appraising the last item, his eyes closed as he processed the information in his mind.

“Hmm…another tough call…” Rai Hou said, his eyes shifting between Shye and Dalton.

“This item is called the Impious Origin Belt. It provides the user with a thirty-point increase in strength, stamina, and vitality. Additionally, it has…an activatable skill!”

“An item skill?!” Dalton exclaimed, failing to hide his emotions.

He was already enamored with the belt just for its thirty-point increase in three attributes.

Naturally, upon learning that it also had an activatable skill, Dalton could no longer contain his excitement.

“Crowley, this belt is made for me, no? Allow me to have it!” The brutish champion exclaimed, extending his hands to quickly grab the belt.

However, how could Shye, who wanted the belt for himself, simply allow Dalton to have it? Especially since Rai Hou hadn’t even finished explaining what the activatable skill was.

As the one with the higher dexterity attribute, miles ahead, in fact, Shye was able to grab the belt off the ground.

“Y-You!! Didn’t you say the items would go to whoever benefits the most from them?! I clearly benefit more from the increase in strength, vitality, and stamina than you do! Give it to me!”

Greed is truly hideous, making both one’s actions and appearance reflect its ugliness.

Dalton even forgot that he feared Shye because of it.

“Calm down, you greedy ape. We haven’t even heard about the activatable skill yet, and you’re already reaching for the item,” Shye said, shooting Dalton a cold glare. “If the item is truly for you, I’ll let you have it.”

Hearing Shye’s words, Dalton felt a bit embarrassed.

“F-Fine, Rai Hou, explain the activatable skill.”

The Yon Augenn champion didn’t answer immediately, seemingly considering whether the skill would benefit Shye or Dalton more.

“The skill’s effect is quite simple but powerful,” Rai Hou began. “It’s called [Barrier of the Condemned]. It allows the user to withstand a single hit from any opponent without taking damage or being pushed back. However, it has an eight-hour cooldown.”

“Oh! In that case, this item is truly for me, hand it over, Crowley!” Dalton exclaimed with an impatient smile.

Unfortunately, Shye, the party leader, believed that he would benefit more from the item.

As a result, his next words stunned not only Dalton but also the others, with the exception of Rai Hou, who also thought his words to be true.

“No, I can make better use of this belt. I’ll be using it for the duration of our dungeon-clearing mission. If anyone disagrees, I’m open to any challenges.”
