Ranking Reward: Yautja Weaponry (Set Item)

…

Jungle Hunter's Bio-helmet (Top Common): It is linked to the Wrist Gauntlet, which controls many of its functions. The helmet grants the wearer access to multiple vision modes including zoom capabilities, facilitates Vocal Mimicry and includes breathing apparatus, diagnostics, and visual and audio recording systems. The helmet also incorporates a red targeting laser used with a Plasmacaster

…

Wrist gauntlet (Mid Uncommon): The left-hand wrist gauntlet incorporates hologram and touch-pad technology to control a Predator's Bio-helmet, Cloaking Device, and Self-Destruct Device. The cloaking device uses Light-bending adaptive camouflage, allowing Predators invisibility, or at least translucence, rendering them incredibly difficult to spot. The invisibility effect has been known to be shorted out through contact with water or if the arm gauntlet is damaged, and it is susceptible to the effects of an electromagnetic pulse, at least temporarily

…

Wrist gauntlet (Mid Uncommon): The right-hand wrist gauntlet incorporates razor-sharp serrated, retractable wristblades built into it, typically in pairs, used for melee combat and the ritualistic mutilation of prey. The rituals of Yautja must be performed using these wristblades

…

Shuriken (High Uncommon): The Shuriken is a primarily thrown Yautja weapon. Constructed with six retractable blades, it is sharp enough to cut a Warrior Xenomorph in two. It can also be used as a slashing weapon

…

Plasmacaster (Top Uncommon): A Yautja long-range energy projector weapon with automatic targeting capabilities. Capable of firing armor-penetrating plasma bolts at distant targets, it is arguably the most devastating and technologically advanced offensive tool at the Yautja's disposal. It can fire multiple long-range bolts of charged plasma. The power of each burst can be adjusted manually, ranging from a minor setting to kill individual prey to a blast powerful enough to breach most of the Common-graded armors

…

Body Armor (Top Uncommon): A protective but sectional assemblage of armor worn by Yautja across the body while on a Hunt. It is composed of a partial breastplate, pauldrons, gauntlets, and extremity armor and is Xenomorph's blood proof. It provides excellent defense against all corrosive attacks, physical or magical

 

Note: Yautja Weaponry is equivalent to a Top Rare-Grade Item

…

Another Top Rare… Kai licked his lips.

Set Items were one of the rarest Items in the Primordial Tower according to Morning Mist, he remembered. It wasn't just the difficulty to collect them from the Random Worlds, but each Item must need a specific Sub-Grade and Grade, perfectly fitting in the Set Item.

Having hands-on experience with the weaponry while fighting on the Island, Kai knew how destructive and hideous these Items were if used properly.

There was just one issue with the Set Item, though.

It didn't suit Kai's fighting style.

Now came the last, and the one Kai had been looking forward to the most.

Ranking Reward: Royal Facehugger (Non-Magical Creature)

 1. The Royal Facehugger, or Queen Facehugger, is a special variant of Facehugger that can implant an embryonic Queen by impregnating a host with a Queen Chestburster

 2. Royal Facehuggers can implant over one embryo into multiple hosts before they die, typically as a second, regular Xenomorph embryo, which serves as a Guard

 for the infant Queen

 

Note: Current Capacity — 1 Queen embryo, 2 Queensguards embryo

 

 3. After fully grown, the Queen will have an equivalent grade of C+, being a Non-Magical creature herself. She will be capable of laying 100 eggs. The Warrior Xenomorph grown from these eggs will each have an equivalent grade of D+

 4. The 2 Queensguards Xenomorph will have an equivalent grade of C-

 

WARNING:

 1. Royal Facehugger can only be used in a Random World

 2. Only the Queen Xenomorph will obey the Contestant's commands absolutely

 3. The Hive formed by the Queen, her 2 Queensguards, and 100 Warrior Xenomorphs has a threat level equivalent to a Top Rare-Grade Item

…

Kai cursed the Systems.

Threat level equivalent to a Top Rare Grade Item?! Are you fucking kidding me?!!

Kai, of all, knew how utterly ridiculous such creatures could become when used by someone like him. It didn't matter if they were Magical or Non-Magical. It all came down to the timing, planning, and intention.

If Kai had to correct the threat level, then he would label it above Rare Grade.

He was a scientist, having beyond-depth knowledge in such fields. In his hands…

…

After a few moments deliberating on it, Kai knew what Rewards he wanted.

The first one was already obvious.

"I choose Yautja Genes," Kai declared.

A tiny vial appeared on the table immediately. Kai picked it up and observed the substance within it. It was murky brown as if someone had scooped it up from a puddle of mud and worms.

Kai stored it in his MRB.

Now came the time to choose the second Reward. Surprisingly, this too was obvious.

"Royal Facehugger."

A large, cylindrical tube appeared on the table, making Kai squint his eyes at it. He approached the tube and saw the overgrown Facehugger, suspended in some green-yellow solution.

A smile surfaced on his face involuntarily.

Kai was about to ask the Systems to send him back to the Harry Potter Random World when the Systems let out another notification.

…

[[

Candidate Red, you can sacrifice your Skills and Abilities to receive the third Ranking Reward as well.

Do you wish to continue with this option?

]]

…

Kai paused.

Ah! I was wondering why it offered me three Rewards instead of just two, he thought, narrowing his eyes. But who in their right minds will sacrifice Abilities or…

Kai had to double back at the notification.

He had forgotten one thing, it seemed. It was just him who wasn't getting Skills through the Hidden Missions. And though he was drowning in Abilities, Contestants usually couldn't get their hands on Abilities even if their life depended on it.

Maybe… Kai analyzed, pondering over the reason behind it all. Maybe it's Systems' way to let a Contestant flush out Skills from their hoard. Unlike me, who can just let go of Skills by devouring a creature, other Contestants can't.

Keeping track of so many Skills, especially low-level Skills with ascending each floor, became burdensome. Hmm… to sacrifice those Skills is definitely a great idea in exchange for obtaining such a Ranking Reward.

Still, whether it was the lack of Skills or an abundance of Abilities, Kai didn't want to sacrifice anything to anyone. Nor was he desperate enough to get his hands on the Yautja Weaponry. So, he opted for the most logical thing to do.

Kai rejected the option and moved on.

"Send me back," he said, putting the Royal Facehugger into his Miscellaneous Rent Box.

…

[[

Very Well.

Details of the 2nd Stage will be announced to you three days before its commencement.

Sending Candidate Red back to his Time Node…

]]

…

"Haha!" Kai laughed. "Well, that went quite smoothly..."

He composed himself, for he would return to the sleeping Darcie, and he didn't want to lose his comprehension.

Yet, the moment he composed himself, this sudden calmness made him focus on his Instincts.

"Something's wrong…" Kai told himself, the blue shimmer becoming bluer around him. "I have… I have… forgotten something… Wait!"

On his forehead, the Yellow Sign flashed, its arms lashing out like a billion tentacles.

Behind Kai, a gigantic red crystal appeared, containing a blurred shadow within it.

Then Kai disappeared, losing consciousness.
