The adventurer at the bottom is fantasizing again.

......

"Pip, this armor looks good on you."

The halfling took the leather armor, frowned slightly, and said:

"It's a little heavy, but I can still make do with it after some alterations. It just needs to be washed properly."

"Okay, then take it back and let Old Mo fix it."

Lorraine nodded; he suspected the short man was a bit of a germaphobe.

There wasn't much good stuff left among the Dragon Shield Guards; he glanced at them and couldn't even find anything that could be considered rough.

Let's see if that scale sorcerer has anything good on him...

Lorraine walked to its corpse and immediately spotted the necklace on the ground. He bent down and picked it up.

......

Magical accessories? Or perhaps precious protective items!

This is still Lorraine's first magical loot; let's leave aside the emblem whose purpose is unknown for now.

The spellcaster is indeed wealthy!

Oreste... Lorraine knew this was the kingdom's capital, so it seemed this Edric was most likely a nobleman.

But with this necklace here, his lover is most likely in grave danger...

"How pitiful and lamentable!"

Lorraine expertly polished the necklace, shook it at Piper, and said, "A necklace with a shield spell."

"Take it, Piper won't use it."

He then began searching the scale sorcerer's corpse.

A [Common] grade dagger. The short guy didn't like this kind of weapon, so he decided to replace his old, broken dagger.

A small bag of sparkling gemstones, which looked worth some money, also contained some miscellaneous coins.

Lorraine poured it out and counted it; there were only 7 silver and 11 copper.

"Huh, what's this?"

He then searched the sorcerer's pocket and found a dark red stone.

【Dragon blood stone】

Type: Consumables/Materials

Quality: Excellent (Green)

Weight: 0.05 kg

......

"Consumables? Let's take them back and show Haif how to use them." Lorraine couldn't make up her mind.

The rest were just a jumble of odds and ends. He picked out some things that he might be able to use on the way back and then took out the Adventurer's Handbook to look at them.

"Kobold Bounty Part: Please bring the tip of the tail to claim the reward; the other parts are worthless."

"call--"

Lorraine let out a breath, rubbed his lower back, and tucked the tip of the tail into his pack.

Nobody told him that packing up the loot was so tiring!

And then, most importantly... a whopping 452 exploration experience points!

Lorraine was a little conflicted. This was almost half of the second-tier lottery prize. Should she save up some more?

If rolling one die always yields "Official" tier rewards, then what about rolling two dice...?

"extraordinary"!?

No...you must not be greedy.

Lorraine shook her head, banishing the dangerous thought from her mind.

The rewards I received before have been a huge help in keeping me alive. If I had kept them, I would have been buried long ago after the goblin incident.

He had considered traveling the world and accumulating a thousand points through exploration experience in new regions, but this world is not Earth.

Monsters are everywhere; how can you protect yourself on the road without strength?

What's more, what if the two dice roll twos? Give him the Goblin King's Underpants, and he'd probably die of anger on the spot.

Having figured all this out, Lorraine felt his mind had become much clearer. With a thought, he brought up the control panel.

Let's draw!

[Using 100 exploration experience points, you rolled 1 die]

[Points: one]

[Reward: Succubus's Pubic Hair]

......

Holy crap! What kind of incredible thing is this?

He didn't take this item out of his system inventory; if anyone saw it, he'd be in deep trouble.

......

[Using 100 exploration experience points, you rolled 1 die]

[Points: five]

[Reward obtained: Perception +1]

[Perception: 10 → 11]

......

Lorraine felt a sharp pain on the back of her head, like being pricked with a needle, but otherwise felt nothing.

"Perception sounds like something only useful in special circumstances, but adding attributes is definitely a good thing, let's continue!"

.....

[Using 100 exploration experience points, you rolled 1 die]

Points: Three

[Reward: Minor Cleaning Technique]

It can clean stains, bloodstains, and dust within a one-foot radius.

......

"Pip, I've just mastered a new spell. Show me your hard leather armor."

"Just now? Weren't you spacing out? Can you warlocks learn spells just by spacing out?" Piper asked in shock.

"That's just how we warlocks are."

Lorraine pressed his hand lightly onto the hard leather armor and used it several times. The armor quickly became shiny, but it still had a bit of a stench.

"This spell consumes very little energy, but its range is too small," he thought to himself.

There's one last time.

System, shake it!

......

[Using 100 exploration experience points, you rolled 1 die]

[Balance: 52 Exploration Experience Points]

Points: Six

Fate has smiled upon you.

[Reward Obtained: Midnight Touch]

Type: Magical Armor/Boots

Quality: Excellent (Green)

Weight: 1.2 kg

Durability: 60/60

Equipment effects:

[Shadow Step]: Instantly teleport to an unoccupied shadow within 30 feet of your line of sight (Available daily: 0/1)

[Silent Movement]: The wearer makes almost no sound when moving.

Remarks:

"How many times have I told you, don't call me Old Sam?"

—The master thief, Old Sam Shadowfinger

......

It's six o'clock again!

Shadow Step and Silent Movement are both very versatile equipment effects, and they are perfect for him to explore urban areas.

Moreover, Shadowstep has a casting range of 30 feet, and if you add the 15 feet of Lightning Contract, he can now launch surprise attacks on enemies from a great distance.

Wait... why do I feel like I'm getting further and further away from the mage I imagined?

Lorraine didn't rush to take it out. Although he trusted Piper completely, it was best that he kept the system a secret.

He ran the mine shaft again to make sure he hadn't missed anything, then packed all his loot into a burlap sack.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

"Isn't it tiring for you to carry so much stuff?" Piper asked, his eyes wide.

"This is all money! If we don't take it, all our hard work will have been for nothing!" Lorraine said righteously.

Piper swallowed hard and silently picked up the hard leather armor he had just received.

"No wonder humans can occupy such a large area, it's terrifying," he thought to himself.
