Chapter 96

Holding two light machine guns, Qin Ran reappeared in the room within his game.

Qin Ran shook his head, dispelling the lingering sensation of weightlessness.

When everything returned to normal, he lowered his head to look at the 'compensation' he had obtained just before the countdown ended.

【Name: WK-22】

【Type: Firearm】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Attack Power: Strong】

【Magazine Capacity: 100 rounds】

【Attributes: None】

【Special Effects: None】

【Requirements: Firearm. Light Weapon (Beginner)】

【Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes】

【Note: To use it, you not only need a large amount of 5.56mm bullets but also a certain level of shooting skills!】

...

When Qin Ran first entered Alcatraz Prison, he vividly remembered the two light machine guns mounted on the prison's outer wall. When he confirmed that he was about to leave and had to abandon greater gains to avoid risks, Qin Ran unhesitantly went for the two light machine guns.

He encountered no resistance.

The only survivors in Alcatraz Prison were the warden, the prison doctor, and a few guards.

These people were in extreme panic and completely ignored what Qin Ran was doing.

Of course, there was a bit of trouble.

Qin Ran had to drag his heavily injured body to the prison's outer wall within five minutes.

The distance from the reef area where he was to the prison's outer wall was nearly two kilometers, and the two light machine guns were located at the north and south corners of the wall.

If he were in his prime, Qin Ran would not have taken such a distance seriously. Not to mention five minutes, he could have done it in one or two minutes.

However, in his current state of "Severe Injury," Qin Ran's strength, agility, and perception had dropped by three levels, and his D-level agility had plummeted to E-level. Although it was still much better than an ordinary person, getting the 'compensation' was a matter of life and death for Qin Ran.

However, in the face of easily obtainable 'gains,' Qin Ran always burst with unimaginable strength.

So, in the end, Qin Ran returned with the two [WK-22] light machine guns.

And Qin Ran's gains were not just these.

He reached out and took out the ring.

The orange light had long dissipated, leaving only a black metal ring with a pea-sized red gemstone.

The red gemstone shimmered with a wave-like light, looking like mist, and was very beautiful.

But compared to its appearance, Qin Ran valued the ring's attributes more—

【Name: Gaze of the Half-Dead】

【Type: Accessory】

【Quality: Rare】

【Attack Power: None】

【Defense Power: None】

【Attributes: 1. Gaze of the Dead; 2. Fear Illusion】

【Special Effects: None】

【Requirements: None】

【Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes】

【Note: Kilphen Hedges used the power hidden in Alcatraz to complete the 'Half-Dead' reincarnation, but this was just the beginning of his plan—he needed more power hidden in Alcatraz! Unfortunately, the sudden acquisition of great power made Kilphen Hedges lose his original composure! He ultimately failed, and this ring became the trophy of the victor!】

...

【Gaze of the Dead: When the skill is activated, any creature that makes eye contact with you must make a mental attribute check that is no less than the wearer's -1 level. Those who fail will be stunned; lasts 1 second, 3 times/day】

【Fear Illusion: When the opponent is stunned by the Gaze of the Dead, the Fear Illusion will be triggered. The opponent must make a mental attribute check that is no less than the wearer's -2 level and a perception attribute check that is no less than the wearer's -1 level. Those who pass both checks will be immune to damage. Those who pass one check will suffer a shock equal to the wearer's mental attribute level. Those who fail both checks will suffer a shock equal to the wearer's mental attribute level +1!】

...

Looking at the attributes of the ring, Qin Ran subconsciously thought of his first eye contact with Kilphen Hedges.

Although, according to Qin Ran's memory, the [Gaze of the Half-Dead] was different from the real Half-Dead's gaze.

When facing a Half-Dead, the [Stun] and [Illusion] seemed to appear simultaneously.

However, the [Gaze of the Half-Dead] was divided into a prerequisite and a trigger.

It seemed that the former was better, but because he did not know the specific attributes of Kilphen Hedges' skills, Qin Ran could not judge the superiority of the two.

However, one thing was certain.

The [Gaze of the Half-Dead] in his hand heavily relied on mental attributes.

Without a high mental attribute, this rare-level equipment was not even as good as an ordinary pistol.

Even though the [Fear Illusion] skill had a perception check, to trigger the [Fear Illusion], the [Gaze of the Dead] prerequisite was necessary.

And the trigger for the [Gaze of the Dead] was entirely dependent on mental attributes.

Qin Ran subconsciously looked at his mental attribute.

【Mental: E】

A value higher than an ordinary person.

But it was definitely not outstanding.

Especially compared to his already D+ level perception, it was even more so.

This made Qin Ran frown.

He did not want to obtain a useless rare-level equipment.

"To fully utilize the [Gaze of the Half-Dead], I need to find a skill book to enhance mental attributes!"

"But the price of such skill books..."

Qin Ran's frown deepened.

Although he had not specifically asked Wu Tian about the price of skill books that could enhance mental attributes, from his three instances, only the [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] included mental attributes, so the price was definitely not low.

However, thinking of his gains, Qin Ran's frown eased considerably.

Immediately, Qin Ran looked at the rewards for his first team instance and second official instance—

Qin Ran gave a firm answer, but his eyes were fixed on the so-called [Special Instance: Spirit Partner].

As for the private messages constantly ringing in his ears?

He completely ignored them.
