Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 452 showed no disdain for secondhand underwear, only a strong desire for numerical bonuses.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the two-piece swimsuit, because it was so unique.

[Athena's Pink Summer Special: Blue Fine/Lv1, Underwear, Two-Piece Swimsuit, Does not occupy a fixed equipment slot. Equipment Requirements: Humanoid Creature]

To divert public attention from the chaos hidden under the cover of night, the organizers, in collaboration with Athena Agency, fabricated a major news story about the "stolen underwear of the world's number one idol" to distract the public. However, for some reason, the underwear really did disappear... exactly the same style as the one you're holding.

Spirit +5, Fire Resistance +10%, Shapefast, Tremor-resistant, Indestructible (effects have priority).

[Additional Note: Theoretically, men can wear this, but it requires a complete outfit (top and bottom) to activate its full effect. Also, if the idol sees this in your possession... well, it's not a big deal. After all, you've already committed the act of attacking the world's number one idol in the stomach, and the hatred within the fan club has successfully reached the "irreconcilable" stage. Countless hardcore fans are currently preparing to take revenge. This item would cause big trouble for anyone else if it were discovered, but in your hands, it seems insignificant.]

Comparing goods will only lead to discarding them; comparing people will only lead to ruin.

The theft of personal clothing seemed insignificant compared to the fact that he had beaten up the goddess.

An ordinary person stealing Athena's swimsuit would probably lose 3000 reputation points, while Cheng Tian "stealing underwear" would likely only result in a 200 reputation loss, since his reputation was already at -9800, leaving little room for further reduction...

However, it must be said that this simple and unpretentious numerical bonus, the characteristic of not occupying regular equipment slots, the lack of restrictions on male and female equipment conditions, and the ability to continue investing in future-oriented attributes make it quite valuable.

Even if we completely disregard its "Athena" attribute, if Cheng Tian really wanted to, he could probably make a fortune with this two-piece swimsuit in the current world.

However, Cheng Tian clearly intended to keep this special equipment, which was difficult to buy even with money, for his own people.

"Who among you is interested in it?"

Cheng Tian decisively asked the girls.

Since Cheng Tian himself accomplished the one-versus-three victory, according to the team's distribution rules, these items should belong to Cheng Tian. Although Cheng Tian, ​​who already has the Strawberry Manly Underwear, would not wear it anyway, rules are rules.

As you can see, the girls' expressions are a bit conflicted.

"It's something that fell...it's something that fell...it's something that fell..."

Eileen kept repeating herself as if she were brainwashing herself.

In fact, the player community has long been accustomed to using other people's dropped items. To put it bluntly, all the equipment players carry belongs to monsters and NPCs, but that hasn't stopped anyone from messing around with it.

However, swimsuits, which are essentially underwear, can give people a feeling of "using someone else's secondhand underwear," and this feeling is especially pronounced for women.

Look at Cheng Tian. When he changed to Uncle Arthur's underwear, he didn't hesitate at all. His face was full of pure desire for "stats" and "equipment". As long as the stats are good enough, he would be happy to use the pink furry rabbit to fight the BOSS!

"Or maybe I should—"

Bazett, whose unconventional thinking is very much in line with that of men, almost fixed his gaze on the "shock-proof" attribute. But as soon as she opened her mouth, Eileen was startled and then shouted.

"No! I can do it! Let me do it!"

After handing over the high-quality secondhand swimsuits to his female companions, Cheng Tian began to look at the other two.

Eating steamed buns is a relatively rare pure recovery skill in the game, a kind of disguised ability to exchange mana for health.

However, since its origin is Kensou, Cheng Tian knows that this thing will exhibit at least several characteristics in the future: a probability of choking and failing to recover health, a probability of restoring full health, and an "undefendable" buff effect on flying waves.

However, it's not very useful for Cheng Tian, ​​who can automatically convert between red and blue bars in the Origin state.

In Cheng Tian's opinion, the most suitable candidates for this skill are Bazett... and the war elephant mammoth.

In terms of gluttony, this human and the mammoth are probably the pinnacle of the two species in Cheng Tian's team. However, considering that if the war elephant mammoth really learned this skill, its already meager MP would most likely be used up on eating buns, which would not only delay its healing but also further delay the release of other skills. It seems that Bazett is more suitable for this.

Of course, this is on the premise that she is willing to use her last empty skill slot on it.

As for the "Liquor Gourd" dropped by the old man, it's a bit special. It's a composite piece of equipment shaped like a wine gourd, and it will have different effects depending on how it's used.

When using a secondary weapon, it can be thrown. If the flying energy is hit by the bottom of the gourd, it will be directly neutralized, and the durability consumption of the gourd will be greatly reduced.

When the accessory is worn, the strong smell of alcohol will attract some targets, which indirectly increases the probability of encountering enemies in the wild. At the same time, it will also cause some olfactory interference to attackers, giving the wearer a small chance to dodge direct attacks.

When the item is used, you can drink the periodically generated spirit "Bombardment" inside. This spirit can enhance the final effect of skills like "Flame Breath" and can also replace some of the casting materials needed for fire-breathing.

Yes, the wine inside this gourd can replace genetically modified chili peppers as the fire-breathing material for the war elephant mammoth, but if the mammoth uses it on its own, it will occupy one of its accessory slots.

The question of whether to choose it or the Vulcan cannon is more important than whether the elephant will go on a drunken rampage.

However, just as Cheng Tian was trying out the effects of the wine gourd, he saw that the equipment slot he had just opened was already completely red.

From the Sun Mask above his head to the tattered shoes on his feet (the shock-absorbing boots were given to Bazett), everything was a sea of ​​red. Even the second set of equipment provided by Titan's Grip only had the Ghost Gauntlets from the talent regeneration remaining in his hand.

Having officially advanced to the top eight, Cheng Tian himself entered the second stage of the Extreme Value Breakthrough Challenge, which involves banning items and equipment.

Well, I guess I won't get to drink this one. I'll just save it for when I win the championship.

While Cheng Tian and his team were dividing up the spoils, the venue was repaired and ready for the second round of the round of 16.

Women's Fighters Team VS Scarlet Devil Hall Team.

This time it's an all-female fighting game; there isn't a single male creature on either team.

There was once a famous person surnamed Lü who said that he loved watching women fight the most in his life.
The audience's enthusiasm, which had subsided slightly, surged again as both teams took to the field.

"Both sides! Send out your vanguard!"

As the host announced, one person from each of the two teams stepped forward.

The women's fighting team sent out Joan, who was incredibly dashing and more handsome than many men, dressed in a casual suit that resembled that of a bartender.

The Scarlet Devil Mansion team sent out Akane Mi-rin, whose entire body was filled with Chinese style, just like a stereotypical image.

Joan adopted a stance derived from Muay Thai, with her hands protecting her head and chest, and one foot constantly tapping the ground.

After Hong Meiling clasped her hands in a fist salute, she placed her hands one above the other, spread her legs apart, and her aura instantly stabilized.

"Vanguard Battle!"

"Qiong! Fight! Hong Meiling!"

"Ready~~~GO!!!!!"
