When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 148: Chapter 95 The Greedy Aiwass

By this era, the existing equipment had already been mostly monopolized.

If you wanted to reliably get this kind of equipment that increased priority, you had to grave rob. In the game, this translated to card-style treasure hunting.

This was the "special channel" mentioned earlier.

From "Mrs. Mina's Fortune Telling Shop," you could obtain random "clues" through a daily fortune telling session. These clues were graded, following the classic treasure map pattern.

In the game, this meant that after reaching the destination and using the clue, you could dig up a BOSS; after defeating it, the whole party would receive a piece of bound equipment that couldn't be traded.

This BOSS was tough, usually requiring a call to the world channel for muscle. Even if you didn't draw a clue, you could also pay players who had drawn a high-level clue to join their team and share the loot.

Purple clues meant that every person was guaranteed at least one piece of light purple equipment, and it was only from purple to deep purple that there was a chance to get the priority equipment. Purple was typically the core of a set, while deep purple comprised powerful stand-alone pieces.

The "at least" meant that you were most likely to dig up light purple items.

This equipment came from ancient families that had top-level powerhouses in them. Most of these items were gifts from Celestial Marshals, Angel Envoys, or the gods themselves. Back then, because there was no convenient system for inheriting "professions," the transmission of extraordinary abilities was easily lost. After the collapse of the ancient kingdoms, this equipment could end up buried with them.

Aiwass had been very eager to follow his mentor on archaeological digs, precisely to unearth these kinds of items.

Hopefully, the "Mrs. Mina's Fortune Telling Shop" in this world would also have such clues or something similar...

—Unless she didn't have to take on missions at a low level.

It was precisely because she lacked experience in contending with others at a low level and had failed at assassinations that she acted so impulsively, relying predominantly on level and equipment to overpower adversaries...

Hence, she was most likely somewhat related to the previous generation of assassin masters. And that master probably didn't approve of her joining the Hawkeye Organization.

That would make sense... So that Miss Assassin, despite her high level, was tasked with an array of undemanding missions in Avalon.

Just nepotism, sister.

...But that also implied that the equipment might be somewhat hot to handle. Although her superior did not receive her signal, if she kept neglecting to reach out to him, he would surely know that Miss Assassin had died, and likely been captured or even exposed.

Under such circumstances, he would surely move his base and flee. The news of her death in Avalon would also spread within the Hawkeye Organization.

Unless Aiwass managed to locate her superior first and silence him, the Assassin Master might personally make a visit.

But Miss Assassin was a nepotist with inadequate experience, hence her direct exposure—could her superior also be so easily exposed?

Aiwass didn't expect so.

Even so, he had no intention of letting go of the gains within his grasp.

He had always been quite greedy. Such exquisite items, Aiwass could either use, gift, sell, or even exchange for other benefits, but he certainly wouldn't quietly return them after backing down!
