The Immortal Player

Chapter 42: Eyes of Nullification!

"Of course... It's not that easy!" Pedro sighed as he closed his interface. He could only shake his head. All he can do now is a promise, which was not a good thing when one was talking about contracts. He stood up and walk to the kitchen and took some materials and ingredients out.

Carlos' assumption was wrong. During the journey of Madame Soledad and Pedro, Pedro had gained a good amount of wood and other materials. As well as ingredients like different meats, vegetables, and fruits. The stove was like the old days, It needed wood as a source of flame and a ceramic pot was available to cook the food.

If a new player was in the same situation, he or she would be troubled on how to start a fire. Luckily, Pedro got his experiences in his past life so it was easy, like counting one two three, to him. He used a rock to start a fire and started his first cooking.

...

"This game details never gets old! Hahaha! It's like it's from some TV program!" Pedro laughed as he read and remember the hilarious scene from the TV program.

[Congratulation on being the first player to gain a talent! Would you like to announce your name to the world? Yes or No?]

"No! Although It would not make that much trouble! I prefer to become the 'Cook King!'! Ahahaha!" He chuckled.

[Sever Announcement!]

...

"Hahaha! I commend this fellow, who 'somehow' got into the first announcements and got a grocery bag as a reward!"

"Commend +1"

"Commend +2"

...

...

...

The players caused another ruckus in the forums because of the announcement, but instead of feeling envy they mocked the player because of the grocery bag.

...

[Grocery Bag]

Adds a separate 'cooking inventory' to player's inventory that can store up to 500 stacks!

A Master Chef's privilege!

...

Unknown to their knowledge, that this is an inventory upgrade available only to players who are Master-ranked Chef! It actually upgrades the inventory of a player.

The upgrade separates the main inventory from the cooking inventory. The main inventory retains its original capacity of 100 stacks, while the cooking inventory has a capacity of 500 stacks.

It was a very useful function, since, gathered meat and other ingredients would not take up the slot in the main inventory. One can also store other cooking related items like wood, ceramics (for making pot), and even steel (which were used for making utensils or grills).

However, cooked foods can't be stored. Ingredients and cooking related items can contain 100 pieces per stack. This is why it was a good reward that only Pedro knows as of now.

"Laugh now! Cry later! After 2 years or so, If someone gets to Master-rank Chef that fast! Haha!" Pedro could only chuckle as he read the forums while cooking his second dish.

After hours of cooking, Pedro's tummy ballooned. He ate the majority of the food he cooked while the rest were thrown to his toilet. He had the idea of giving some crew members a serving, but he decided not to, because of the fear that he might encounter another trouble. All he aimed was to increase his cooking progress while he has nothing to do.

...

Blink!

Mathew sent a message to Pedro that appeared to his interface.

...

Happy Face Killer: "Expert brother! I have found something similar to your description earlier! But... the 'eyeballs' were all colored gray! It shows unknown when we appraise it, hence I decided to give you a message, Wondering if the trade you said earlier is possible?"

...

'This item doesn't glow like the Katana of Expert brother! It might be unknown for now because of the level difference, but the rarity must be of low! Knowing expert brother, he might need this item for a quest!' Mathew deduced as he stares at the glass container with a liquid and gray colored eyeballs.

...

'He found it?' Pedro was astonished. He had no hopes that Mathew would find the item soon.

...

Death: "Great! Since I'm in a good mood! I'd add 10,000 to the trade!"

...

As soon as Pedro initiated the trade, Mathew grabbed the chance immediately. The trade was quickly completed. The item appeared on Pedro's Inventory while the 210,000 Philippine Pesos appeared in the bank account of Mathew.

'Two month's worth of salary just like that! Who is this expert brother!' Although he was happy, he still questioned his self who Pedro was. His impression that Pedro was a scammer suddenly faded.

'Perhaps he is not lying! I will check it out after I log out!' He started to consider Pedro's offer for recruitment. If someone was able to purchase something just for a quest that easy, the salary he offers would be true!

...

"Hehe! The god's eye! Eyes of Nullification is now in my hands!" Pedro laughed like a devil. Any god's eye was an item. The Legacy Enhancement was only triggered by the item itself when someone removes the seal of the container.

The seal contains the magical energy the eyeballs release, that is why to Mathew it was of low rarity. The seal can only be seen hardly or unlocked barely by Players who were at level 20 because their magical energy was strong enough to notice the slight glow from the container. Hence, He needed to wait until he reaches level 20!

'reaching level 20 would take long since I need to stay to level 1... but... having the item itself is already a good fortune!' He was still happy.

Legacy Enhancements were 'guides' to achieve and retain power or strength that is unusual or not in common to the magical progression of NPC in bearth! Since it included retain, It meant that these enhancements required a maintenance method. The stronger the enhancement was the more troublesome it is to maintain. 'With great power comes great responsibility!'

Hence, players can have as many enhancements they have as long as they can maintain it! In his past life, a top-tier professional player had two legacy enhancements. One of his legacy enhancement was at the peak rating while the other was at the bottom rating. This player had barely maintained his legacy enhancement causing him to be among the middle ranked top-tier professional players.

Legacy Enhancement was only categorized by players in three ranks, the peak, the middle, and the bottom. These were based on the maintenance difficulty of the enhancement. One notable peak legacy enhancement was the Blood Hunter enhancement of a European professional player. Her legacy enhancement gave her a skill that the amount of monsters killed by her within a month with a single melee weapon increases her HP by (10 x Number of monsters killed within the month). It was rumored that she needed to kill at least 100 monsters per day, else the number of monsters killed will reset back to zero.

...

"Let's just store it to the Inventory first!" Pedro happily placed the item to his inventory.
