SSS-Class Hunter Goes On Vacation - Chapter 59

The item that came out when I opened the last remaining hidden grade box was wings.

Suji read the word “Frenzy” several times carefully.

Thinking she might have read it wrong.

“…Is this the ‘Frenzy’ that I’m thinking of?”

Saint also stared blankly at the item window and then swallowed hard.

Then he quickly opened his terminal, searched through the organized database window, and with sparkling eyes, nodded his head vigorously up and down.

“It’s commonly called ‘Berserk’, but ‘Frenzy’. It seems to be correct after all.”

Suji picked up the wings in a daze.

The wings, densely packed with soft white feathers and faintly glowing, felt weightless.

Despite looking like a mere fashion item worn in MMORPG games just for looks without any real abilities, its stats were brutal.

She liked that it was incredibly light and, being worn on the back, didn’t overlap with any other equipment she had.

But what she liked even more was that Frenzy was usually a buff given only to boss monsters in .

It was called Frenzy when boss monsters got stronger as their health decreased, or when they exerted powerful strength upon entering phase 2 or 3.

It was rare for Team Daphne, who owned almost all existing top-tier items after climbing to the 80th floor, to be surprised by a new item like this.

Peace expressed his surprise by whistling, and Saint checked the database several times to confirm what he saw.

Elaine, uncharacteristically, clicked her tongue with an astounded face and said:

“I’ve never seen an item like this before.”

“Me neither. I mean, Frenzy? The Groggy state penalty is quite significant, but even considering that, isn’t this too good?”

“…It’s so good it’s bewildering. That I’m seeing such an item for the first time.”

Suji glanced at him.

His damp bangs, probably from having washed his hair not long ago, fell down, obscuring his eyes.

‘Somehow, the nuance of what he’s saying now sounds strange. Am I imagining it?’

His face is so handsome that he always looks melancholic and seems to have a backstory… Today he seems even more so.

– Are you going to open boxes all day long?

Then a buzzing voice was heard in her head, urging her on.

Suji smiled brightly.

It seemed to be actively cooperating no matter how she thought about it. Otherwise, such an item wouldn’t have dropped by chance.

She decided to postpone the item distribution for now and opened the remaining boxes.

The next ones to open were Epic grade boxes.

They were mixed with those of other team members, but considering the suddenly introduced luck stat, it was better for Suji to open them all.

Suji used the function to open the boxes in front of her in units of 5.

There were a total of 7 Epic boxes.

5 of them had been opened.

But all the items that came out were the main weapons of Hunter Daphne, Elaine, and Saint.

And exactly two of each.

As if someone had intended it.

The team members lost the will to speak and blankly stared at the window.

If three of the same items were gathered, they could be alchemically combined with necessary items.

But that was only possible with ordinary items, where would one find two more of the equipment items obtained as initial rewards from the tower?

The weapons each of them was currently using were the best items they could get, and they had been maximally enhanced by pouring in all sorts of enhancement stones.

But… two more of the same items ‘coincidentally’ appear?

“…Is this statistically possible?”

“Statistically, it shouldn’t be, right?”

Saint, now even with trembling hands, searched through the database and made a face that was hard to tell if he was laughing or crying.

Suji put her finger to her lips and winked.

Then she opened the remaining 2 Epic boxes as well.

As the 2 purple boxes opened emitting light, there was a rainbow-colored effect that occurs when high-tier items appear.

By now, everyone was so used to this effect that no one was surprised.

The remaining 2 items also appeared as if someone had intentionally played a trick.

“…Now I’m getting goosebumps, and it’s becoming hard to believe all this is real.”

“Me too, Saint.”

Listening to the conversation between Peace and Saint, Suji opened the remaining 2 Rare grade boxes without time to think deeply.

How could they be more surprised here when they were already so astonished?

Not only were the team members who didn’t know the full story gasping, but Suji was also surprised anew at every moment.

She was surprised not only by the items popping out in pairs as if trying to match exactly three of each item the team members were using, but also by an 8-tier item popping out from a Rare grade box.

While Rare grade boxes were undoubtedly good boxes not easily obtained, she didn’t know such a thing was possible.

In fact, even the database Saint was now searching through was practically no different from one created based on the items Team Daphne possessed.

“No matter how I calculate it, the probability of an 8-tier item appearing from a Rare grade box is less than 0.1, and the probability of it happening consecutively is below 0.01… And on top of that, only the needed items keep popping out… What’s going on here, Team Leader?”

And after all this, to keep it a secret from the team members.

What secret.

It should be kept discreet to be a secret.

Suji smiled incredulously.

‘I didn’t expect this level of cooperation.’

Even though she was the one who had made the threat, really.

“What’s a party item…?”

“Looks like an item you get buffed with right before combat?”

“No, it’s not that I don’t know that. But completely nullifying mental attacks for 3 minutes. It’s dizzying. The luck stat, it really seems to be a good update.”

She took a deep breath.

Her mind was becoming hazy as items she had never even imagined kept appearing.

But this was a rare opportunity.

Judging by the atmosphere, there was no guarantee that the ‘luck’ stat would continue to apply.

Otherwise, how could they give out so much?

Suji, not wanting to give the ‘Great Beings’ time for other schemes, opened all the remaining 100 or so Normal and High-grade boxes as well.

Of course, she had even resolved all the items that needed enhancement.

[This is the timeline separator]

The time it took to open all the boxes would have been just about 10 minutes at most. Since it was possible to open more than 5 boxes at once, there was no need to linger for long.

Suji blankly stared at the splendid items that had instantly piled up in her inventory.

The Normal and High-grade boxes did produce items befitting their box grades.

But…

Amazingly, set items that completed the sets of equipment the team members had but couldn’t match before came out, or enhancement stones of the exact kind needed for enhancing main or sub weapons, or items that could be combined with the Rare or Epic grade items they currently had appeared.

Quite coincidentally.

At some point, Suji too became like her team members who had lost their words with astounded faces.
