A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

Alex contemplated for a moment before she shook her head. "I am not in a hurry to find a weapon. Besides, magic doesn't really suit me well. However, I still want to see what happens if I unseal it. But I think it is better if you {Devour} it when I'm not online." Alex reminded him, she didn't want her luck to affect him.

Alex then pressed the {Unseal}.

[Unsealing Chaos Staff]

...

[Chaos Staff] (70% Sealed)

* Level: 5 

* Soul Compatibility: 30%

* Quality: Low

* Rank: B

* Physical Damage: 8

* Magic Damage: 42 

* Weapon Stats: +3 Intellect, +2 Wisdom 

* Skills: Staff's Weapon Proficiency (5), Fireball (Sealed), Ice Shard (Sealed)

{Unseal}: Slay Rank: B opponents 0/70000

{Devour} Randomly acquire one skill of the weapon.

[Staff's Weapon Proficiency]

Level: 5

*Each level increases the magic damage when using a staff by 0.1%

*Each level increases healing from skills by 0.1% 

Alex checked the unsealed skill, but she realized that the required experience to level up the skill was missing. 

If it isn't there, then that means she can't increase the weapon's level. However, when she thought about it, she does not own the weapon yet. So unless she fully unsealed the weapon or used {Devour}, the skill's level will be stuck forever. 

Where will she even find seventy thousand Rank: B monsters! If she doesn't have 30% compatibility, does that mean she needs to kill 100,000? She can probably find a better weapon before she can kill the seventy thousand monsters. She doesn't even know how to classify them. 

"What happened?" Ezekiel asked, seeing her disappointed face.

"Unsealing is a huge disappointment. Unless it's a very strong weapon it will be a waste of time unsealing a trash weapon like this in the early stage. From now on, you take all the items we find that you can use {Devour} on. While I {Devour} those items you can't." Alex will be at ease the stronger he gets. She doesn't want anyone close to her to get life behind. She then told him the unsealing requirements and what she unsealed. 

"That bad?" Ezekiel exclaimed as he grabbed the staff from her hands. 

[Chaos Staff] (Sealed)

* Level: 5 

* Quality: Low

* Rank: B

* Weapon Stats: +3 Intellect, +2 Wisdom 

* Skills: Staff's Weapon Proficiency (5), Fireball (Sealed), Ice Shard (Sealed)

{Devour} Randomly acquire one skill of the weapon.

Without Alex holding the weapon, Ezekiel can only see a portion of the stats. But if she says that it is trash, then it is trash. 

Ezekiel can't wait to {Devour} the item, but he is scared of getting the weapon proficiency with Alex beside him. 

He is thinking of getting the fireball or ice shard since it is such a waste for his high mana regeneration when he can only use 1 skill. Besides, the increase of 0.1% from weapon proficiency is negligible since he currently doesn't have high healing and damage numbers.

"So what other things you found?" Alex yawned, laid her head on Ezekiel's shoulder, and closed her eyes. Looking at too many numbers made her feel a little dizzy.

"We are also rewarded with a [Scroll of Town Upgrade] but I already gave it to Akkar." Knowing Alex, she doesn't like managing troublesome things. Both of them does, so he threw the responsibility to Akkar once more. And Akkar was willing, after all, to build a town is good content. It can also serve as a base for his viewers if they want to play together. 

"Uhmm," Alex responded with a grunt.

"And lastly is this." Ezekiel pulled out a key from his inventory. 

[Floor One's Key]

- Rank: C

- Open the door of the tower's first floor. 

"I still don't know how to use it. But the village chief said that there should be a record on how to use it in the town's library." Ezekiel explained. 

"Hey, are you listening?" Ezekiel looked at her face as she did not respond. But her stable breathing says it all. Before he knew it, Alex was already sleeping soundly with her flushed cheeks and silver-white hair strewn across his shoulder. 

She must have been so tired. 

He gently held her chin and laid her head more comfortably. 

Lili's mother, who was watching the two of them, couldn't help but smile. "You look good together." 

"Are we? Sadly, she's too busy fighting, and can't see it." He knows that they are still young, he has a lot of time to show her his feelings. He is not in a hurry, but he can show his feelings if there are chances. The problem is Alex is too dense. 

"She must have fought hard, she looks tired. I heard that you guys fought on the enemy's backline alone. Everyone in the village is very thankful, if it weren't for you two they wouldn't be able to see their loved ones once more." Lili's mother uttered while gently stroking her daughter's hair. She can't help but think of her husband. 

Ezekiel shook his head and sighed. "She did all the work, even if I'm not around she will still do the same thing. But she's pushing herself way too hard this time." He doesn't know why she's fighting so hard even though she knows the consequences. Yet no matter what are her reason, he will always be there to support her. 

"We all know that she won't last long if you aren't there to help her. And for that, we are all thankful to both of you and all the guardians who defended the village. Our homes may be in ruins but as long as we the people live we can build it once more." 

"You should also rest; taking care of her seems too taxing." Lili's mother exclaimed, seeing his pale complexion. "It is a long ride, don't worry it's a safe road ahead." 

It seems he wasn't able to hide it. 

He fought so hard in the void tower as a healer to recover the experience he lost. And he has been running around the village gathering information as soon as he revived. He can't help it the gap of their strength is too wide. He needs to work harder for him to not get left behind.

"Thanks." Ezekiel gently moved Alex to his lap first, afraid that she might fall on his shoulder.. He made sure that her position was comfortable enough before resting his head on the cart and closing his eyes.
