Second World
chapter-1353

"Woo-hoo! There is even a spare rocket!" Jack exclaimed when he saw the rocket-propelled grenade next to where the launcher used to be. This meant this launcher can be shot twice.

The description on the RPG said that its explosion could take out three shields. This meant this was a one-hit kill weapon, and it was even an AOE attack.

He then saw another thing that made him excited.

"Yeah! I now got my own capsule case!" Jack picked up a similar pill case that Master used to store the motorbike.

The description said that it could store tools of any size but only one could be stored at a time.

Jack moved the capsule case close to the RPG launcher and a prompt appeared asking if he wanted to store the launcher inside the case. Jack agreed. The launcher shrank and flew into the case. The capsule case then closed by itself.

"Cool," Jack uttered.

He looked around to see if there was another capsule case he could use to store the extra RPG. Saddie was also browsing the things on the shelf.

Master had been looking around the place once he entered. He had also come across one such stash room when he wandered by himself. He had found one equipment-skill stone by luck. He then used the stone to allow him to use his God-eye monocle so he could move freely around the place. As he traveled, the monocle informed him of an entrance to a stash room by accident.

Master's monocle could point out important things at a longer range than the other God-eye monocles, that's how he had easily found a stash room while Jack had to go near the entrance before his monocle notified him.

This was how Master had many tools on him.

His eyes laid on one thing he had been searching for. He now walked toward it. When he was about to grab the thing, another hand beat him to it.

"You aren't interested in the other things but you come to this one specifically, I wonder why?" Grace said. While the others had their eyes on the things on the shelves, she kept her eyes on Master.

Grace looked at the thing in her hand. She understood then after reading the texts above it.

"What's that?" Jack asked. He noticed what transpired between Grace and Master. Master only stared at them in silence.

Grace handed the thing in her hand to Jack.

*

Limiter-off Stone

Undo all restrictions.

Duration: 1 minute

*

This could be said to be the ultimate tool. They could use all their abilities if they used this stone. Even if it was for a very short duration of only one minute, the player who used this could easily beat all the other participants during that short one minute.

"The fact that you are targeting this thing means you already lay eyes on one before," Jack said to Master. "You have one with you, don't you?"

Master kept his silence.

"You stay away from these shelves," Grace warned Master.

"Grace, you watch him," Jack said. "Saddie and I will collect and catalog all the tools in this room. We will decide what to do with them afterward."

"You trust me?" Saddie asked.

"At least more than him," Jack replied.

Master didn't resist, but he said, "Let me warn you. You have better used these tools to fight your way to the main node rather than sharing them with the others upstairs."

Jack didn't say anything in reply. He and Saddie started collecting things and took notes on the stuff they found. They lay them on the ground by grouping the same type of items.

"Okay, we got nine skill-free stones, four equipment-free stones, five adhesive bandages, one bear trap, one RPG launcher with one extra ammo, one grenade, two shield-protect stones, two capsule cases, and one limiter-off stone."

"Hm…," Jack thought while studying the goods.

"These are a lot for use by one person, but they are not enough for a group," Master said. "Don't expect you can share them with many people to help you fight your way to the main node. Unless, of course, you plan to use them as meat shields by fighting together with you. Now, that is a plan I can respect."

Jack grinned at the words, which confused Master.

Jack turned to Grace and Saddie and asked, "Do you mind if I take all these?"

"You know I don't," Grace said.

"As long as you can get me out of this hell, I don't care about this stuff," Saddie replied.

So, Jack took all of them except for the bear trap and put them inside the fanny pack on his waist. The RPG launcher and its extra ammo, which were large, were shrunk into the two capsule cases so they could fit inside his fanny pack.

He didn't think he needed the bear trap but he still tied it next to his fanny pack.

Jack then took the two equipment-free tools that Master gave him earlier. He threw them back at Master, who caught them deftly.

"If anyone is going to be my meat shield, it's going to be you," Jack said.

Master frowned. "I've told you, I won't be any help to you with most of my spells sealed."

"I believe you found one of these stash rooms as well, didn't you? That's how you got so many tools. I'm pretty sure you got many skill-free tools as well. Your spells can take out a large number of enemies. Even if you can only cast a limited number of spells, they will still be useful in clearing the way. Those night hunters fight en masse, after all."

When Master remained silent, Jack added, "Even without your spells, your attributes outclass everyone else. With your equipment back, I'm sure you can afford to give those night hunters a run for their money. Don't worry, I will protect you… sort of."

When Master still didn't respond, Jack said, "Okay, let's put it this way, a*shole. You want a way out, right? I will fight my way to this node you mentioned but don't expect me to risk myself alone. If I go, you will have to come with me!"

Finally, Master replied, "Hmph! So be it."
