Even while Suzy called her team members to the terminal, the echo in her head did not stop.

– I’ve heard many stories of people climbing the 〈Laurel Tree〉 to get rings, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone as shameless as you. Usually, they treat us like gods.

“Oh, really?”

– I’ll do what I can, but don’t expect too much. There are a lot of eyes watching. They really do see everything.

Suzy, who was watching Elaine, Saint, and Peace in colorful training suits gather in the empty lot in front of their living quarters, asked back without changing her expression.

“So? Are you unhappy with me climbing the 〈Laurel Tree〉? Should I spit it out again? Are you going to bury the ring in this front yard?”

[νόμος protests at your words.]

[νόμος nods his head at your words.]

[σκιά laughs at νόμος’s actions.]

The answer came a beat late.

– Who said that? That’s what they say. Our young lady is the light, the salt, and the hope. Just work hard to climb the tower again.

Even if you treat humans like racehorses, what’s the point of a bet? It’s out of character to even act cute.

Young lady.

When she was dumbfounded and didn’t answer, he added a word as if urging her.

– If you’re going to lay down the box, lay it down quickly. Even if Νύμφη blocks the Lord’s line of sight, it will only be for a moment. And don’t spread rumors to the humans for no reason.

“Of course. Shh. I know, I’m a little tight-lipped?”

‘Idiot.’

Even without saying it directly, his teammates were so perceptive that there was no way they wouldn’t know.

But she answered obediently and coaxed him.

The team members knew that Soo-ji was talking to the owner of the Laurel Tree, so they gathered together and quietly observed Soo-ji without speaking first.

Soo-ji smiled and pointed to the boxes lined up in front of her.

“All of you, take out the boxes you’ve been saving up. We’re going to open them all today.”

At her words, the team members opened their inventories all at once.

However, it seemed like there wasn’t much to gain, so they all laid out the few boxes they had left, licking their lips.

“Oh, really? I have some saved up. I saved them to open on a lucky day.”

Saint had two blue rare boxes and two purple epic boxes. A total of four.

“Most of them are gone. I needed a little better items… … I have two boxes left.”

“I have two at most.”

Peace and Elaine each had two purple hero-grade boxes.

Suzy didn’t collect them on purpose, but she was so distracted by the recent series of events that she couldn’t do them.

In addition, she was the type to easily share out suitable items from boxes to others, so as a team leader, she kept quite a few boxes.

This time, she received two gold hidden boxes from Laurel Tree, five white normal boxes and one blue rare-grade box from clearing the 80th floor of the tower. One purple epic box from the 79th floor reward.

In addition, there were about 100 regular and premium boxes that she had left unopened because they weren’t rare or higher while traversing the tower. She didn’t

mind opening them while keeping them in her inventory, but she took them all out just to enjoy the fun of scratching a lottery ticket by hand.

When Suzy excitedly chose which box to open first, her teammates looked at her with a slightly puzzled look.

However, she didn’t explain anything and just opened the best box first.

[Open a random box (hidden).

You will obtain the trait 〈Gaze at Objects〉.

[Trait

Status check of all monsters within 80m radius]

Suzy carefully read the log because she thought there might be some kind of condition, but no matter how much she looked at it, there was no mention of the level of the opponent monster having to be.

That meant that she could check the status, that is, the monster’s grade, abnormal condition, remaining health, etc.

Regardless of the grade.

‘… … How could something like this exist?’

No matter how much she threw a tantrum, Suzy barely managed to suppress her cheer when she got something much better than she had expected.

Even though it was hidden, she never thought that a trait would come out of the box instead of an item.

It probably wouldn’t come out normally.

In the Hunter System, in order to check the name or status of an opponent’s monster, there were many requirements, such as a record of having already caught that monster and the level difference.

So not being able to know the status or health of a higher level monster than you was a huge obstacle.

It was the same when you first faced the boss in the tower.

However, if you can obtain this trait, it will be quite advantageous.

[νόμος urges you to act.]

[νόμος urges you to act.]

Suddenly, the ‘great beings’ in the log were urging you, and it didn’t bother me at all.

What was this item, it was so pretty.

“Wow, this is, regardless of the opponent’s monster’s level, it’s an unconditional search? What is this?”

“This is crazy. No, it’s torn.”

“How can this… … item exist?”

Saint, Peace, and Elaine exclaimed in order.

Suzy laughed in shock.

It was really on a different level from the items she had seen so far. And she didn’t know that it would be a trait and not an item.

Since traits are something that are applied even if you don’t equip them, there are no restrictions on the number of accessories you can equip on your hands or feet, and they don’t affect your equipped equipment.

“… … This is a scam.”

As Suzy muttered and was about to open the next box, logs suddenly poured out noisily.

[Νύμφη questions your actions.]

[σκιά questions your actions.]

[απόγευμα proposes a meeting about your actions.]

[Κάστωρ dissuades you from your actions.]

[νόμος accepts απόγευμα’s proposal.]

There was a bit of a commotion, but soon all four status windows were updated simultaneously.

[Hunter System Update Notification!

A new ability has been introduced.

The initial value of the ‘Luck’ ability is given in proportion to the current Hunter rank.

It can be adjusted with items, and the ability value is applied when opening random boxes, resistance, evading attacks, and additional event rewards.

The value starts at 0 and has greatly different effects in units of 50.]

‘… … Luck?’

After whining so much about not being able to openly manipulate the odds, it seemed like they had decided to introduce a completely new stat.

I don’t know the exact circumstances, but judging from the fact that he didn’t speak to me even though I was wearing the ring, it seemed like they were in a very hectic meeting.

‘Creating a new ability… … What the heck? I just asked for the random draw results to be a little better, so why did you do this? Isn’t this more of a scam?’

Suzy turned off the logs of the ‘Great Beings’ who didn’t know the extent of it again and checked her status window.

[Checking 〈My Information〉.

“Okay.”

Suzy laughed in vain and closed the window.

‘… … This isn’t a game, this is a world where patches happen in reality.’

They say that the effects change significantly in increments of 50, but it was so funny that my luck stat was barely over 150. It was so obvious that it was set to the exact same value.

“… … Time has stopped, and I’m getting this alarm. I don’t know what happened, but I’m 79.”

Peace followed Soo-ji with a puzzled expression and checked her status window.

Saint also looked bewildered.

“That’s what I mean. It’s like I’m on a deserted island and suddenly find a table that someone just set up. I’m 51.”

“I’m 102.”

Elaine answered last.

Everyone else was just looking through their status windows as if they didn’t understand the situation, but Soo-ji continued her work at a brisk pace.

“Since it’s come to this, I’ll be in charge of opening boxes since I’ve suddenly become so good at it.”

“Please take care of me.”

“Yes? Oh… … Yes.”

“Since I have a luck stat now, I’m sure the team leader wants me to open boxes well! Fighting!”

While listening to her teammates’ answers, she opened the boxes that the group had placed in front of her, starting with the better ones.

[Open a random box (hidden).

You will obtain the Tier 9 item, “Wings of Justice.”

〈Wings of Justice〉 Tier 9

When worn with the “Boots of Justice”, 2-set ability value is applied

Berserk (strength and speed increased by 20%, increased from the value including the item correction value). Maximum duration is 9 minutes (when berserk ends, if there is an elite monster within a 400m radius, it becomes groggy for 10,000 hours).

Levitation (applies for 6 minutes up to 10m, cooldown is 24 hours)]
