After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 291

Anyway, the group leaned closer to Eugene, interested in what he got. Eugene then opened the gift boxes—one blue and one indigo—releasing two very good items with special shimmer around them.

One was a large, but thin, shield the size of a table. It had a slight golden and copper glimmer to it. The other was a thick blue coat with a bit of sparkle. It was a little feminine, to be honest, but conservatively considered unisex.

"Ohhh~" Harold said, looking at the items with sparkling eyes. "Tell us what they do."

Eugene nodded and excitedly checked the item’s stats.

One must know that even if he forgot about the boxes, now that the equipment was on hand, his old gamer habits tingled. He was also quite giddy about this.

[Shield of Honor (D): +20 Defense, 50% chance of 10% reflection]

[Coat of Hew (C): +40 Defense, decreased presence by 10%]

"Oh!"

"Very nice!"

"Just as you need!"

Eugene was a veteran and his attack wasn’t bad but, due to his disability, his agility was near zero. These defensive items would be perfect for him.

After all, he still needed to fight in some form. Although he was a Creator, leveling up was still essential for survival. Not to mention, certain occupations would be blocked by level as well.

No matter how hard he created, he would encounter a bottleneck sooner or later if his level didn’t follow.

This was why even healers like Betty still aimed to reach level 20, at least.

Of course, if he was to get good long-range weapons, that would’ve been even better.

Harold looked at the equipment in admiration. "I heard from Gru that Troy also received Level E equipment for the mini crossbow. He had bragged about it for days."

Sheila nodded, she had heard of it too. Then she remembered another rumor that Troy was openly regretful about, "The conventional crossbow didn’t receive one though, probably because it already existed."

"Pity, indeed. I wonder which territory made it first."

"They just got names of 2 blokes by the names of Brandon and Jake."

"Oh? That sounds Terran, right?"

"Well, Altera can’t be the only one with weapons experts, right?"

"Hmn, you’re right."

Anyway, Althea was just glad that the spirit of innovation was high on her turf.

She looked at Harold. "Since you’re a chef now if you could create a unique recipe with unique effects, you may also receive gifts."

The man blinked, but he nodded after a pause. "I’ll do my best."

He looked at the nice equipment of his teammates and he imagined the spirit of innovation running through his veins.

He wanted one, as well!

…

With the announcements as the catalyst, the whole territory was injected with a stimulant. Every aspect of the ’gear’ worked harder than ever to prepare for the upcoming fights.

The guards increased their training, each one aiming to be as strong as they could be within a short time. Of course, it was still to a reasonable degree so as to not tire them out too much.

One level difference could mean life and death. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
