Blood Evolution System-Chapter 232: Picking Treasures!

"Ah, it's too blinding!"

There were so many shiny treasures that Nevis and John feared that they might go blind. Their shine was prickling their eyes. They had never seen o many treasures in a single place, much less that they would be standing here. Greedy Water flowed out of their wide-open mouths.

"You guys look pretty disgraceful right now, so stop salivating." King Wrath said in a slightly mocking voice that one would use to poke fun at the people he found stupid or funny.

The two youngsters snapped out of their daze and closed their mouths.

"As you've conquered the tower, you can pick up any three treasures you like," Melody said to Vincent. And then immediately looked towards Leilani and King Wrath and added, "Since you reached higher than the 20th floor, you're qualified to get two treasures free of charge." She pointed her fingers at King Wrath, and while twirling it around, she said, "While you, well, you can take one."

As he reached the 16th floor, Melody decided to let him take one too.

"What about them?"

Vincent felt that it was unfair that John, Iris, and Nevis couldn't take anything. Why? Was it because they were weak? Why must weak people get bullied and get treated unfairly all the time? Didn't they all reach here because they worked hard together and supported each other at every turn? So, why weren't they qualified to get treasures for free? He wanted them to get something out of this too.

"Rules are rules. I can't just change them as they are set in stones." Although there were a lot of items here, so much that it could even help an entire kingdom run for a few years, it didn't mean that she could give them away to those who failed to make it.

Nevis, John, and Iris felt disappointed. But they had no one to blame except for themselves. They were personally too weak.

"No need to feel so down. You guys cause the monster-slaying points you've got to purchase a thing or two. Even though the cheapest items might not be the best there is, they would still your combat prowess." Melody said. She wasn't in the mood to joke or act playful, so her words were straight to the point.

The group remembered that they could use their points to get items in this place. They started looking for something suitable for them. Leilani and King Wrath were a bit disturbed. Now, the things didn't have a name on them. They also didn't know how they worked or whether something was compatible with them or not.

Everyone except for Vincent fell into a dilemma. They feared that hastily picking something up might come back to bite them. They wanted an item that would go along with their battle style, but they didn't know what effect they might have or whether those effects would be beneficial to them or not.

Vincent, on the other hand, didn't fall into a dilemma. Of course, he was different than them. He could use his spell matrix to determine the true worth of any item in this place. He, at first, thought that this skill might fail him this time, but he was surprised and happy to see that there was enough knowledge in its database to determine everything here.

"If you guys are having trouble selecting items, don't hesitate to ask me for help." Vincent wasn't blind to the problems of his teammates, and so being him, he decided to extend his helping hand towards them. Whether they take it not, well, that was something he didn't need to concern himself with. "I promise I will select the things that go well with you guys. I can't tell you how it is possible for me, but if you trust me enough, then I am willing to help."

King Wrath had seen and heard a lot of things, but to believe that a young man would've knowledge about ancient items was something he found hard to swallow. Of course, Vincent was a man with many secrets. So, he didn't believe nor disbelieve his words. He decided to let others go first, and if Vincent can really do as he says, he will let him pick an item for him. John, Nevis, and Iris were wandering afar, sightseeing and stuff.

"Then, please pick for me." Leilani was the one who said it. Vincent could never mean harm to her or the others. He had been fighting for them all along. She trusted him a lot too.

Thus, she didn't hesitate to let Vincent choose two pieces of treasure in her place.

"I will be back soon."

Vincent looked around for an item with Leilani's skill set and fighting style in his mind. He left them behind and explored the entire treasure hall. She meant a lot to him. Not to mention, she looked awfully familiar to the little girl who said she would marry him once they grew up. In his memories, that girl was really close to him. He felt as if the reason why he thought that he had met with someone he had lost long ago when he came across Leilani was that she was his childhood friend. There was a high chance for that to be true. He just needed to see her left ankle and right foot. If she had a birthmark on those two places, then she really was his childhood friend.

As luck would have it, be found ice queen boots and an ankle bracelet belonging to the same set.

Leilani, who was anxiously waiting, didn't need to wait for long as Vincent returned to her with two items in his hand.

"These pair of ice boots will amplify your ice-ability cells by one level, boosting the damage of all ice-type attacks by 50%. It also has the effect of increasing its wearer stamina and agility by 45 and 35 points, respectively. It's an A-ranked item."
