Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Noon the next day

After Kane finished his lunch in the tavern, Kreya came looking for him.

She patted his shoulder and said, "It's been a few days, accompany me to the council base. Maybe the bounty equipment is all collected."

"Alright," he said, placing the Cotton Candy from his shoulder onto Youyou's head, "let's go now."

After saying that, he followed Kreya out of the tavern, instructing Youyou to keep an eye on the Cotton Candy and make sure it didn't run off.

The two strolled along and arrived at the Mist Base at the dungeon entrance.

They checked the notice board nearby. After searching for a while, they didn't see their bounty, indicating it had already been completed.

Kreya didn't feel anything yet, but Kane was already a little excited. He was eager to see what the full set of equipment could do.

They entered the hall inside the base, finding that today's staff was not the same as the one who received them last time.

Today's staff member was a humanoid race with two hooked claws on their back and two pairs of eyes on their face.

The two approached her.

Upon seeing them, the staff member asked, "How can I assist you?"

Looking at her two pairs of eyes, Kane said, "We posted a bounty here a few days ago, and just saw that the bounty on the notice board has been completed."

She nodded and then used the two hooked claws on her back to pull out two bounty slips from the lower counter, placing them in front of Kane and Kreya.

"Could you please tell me which one is your bounty?"

Kane took down the slip they had posted a few days ago and handed it to her.

She nodded and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll retrieve the equipment for you."

They waited momentarily in place.

After a while, the staff member returned with a box. It seemed a bit heavy for her, and her two hooked claws assisted in carrying it.

After placing the box in front of Kane and Kreya, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, panting slightly, and said:

"This is the equipment you asked for, you can open it to check. Once confirmed, please sign and stamp on this slip."

Afterward, her claw behind the counter pulled out a slip, and another claw hooked over a small box containing a pen and red stamp.

Kane opened the box and began to examine the items one by one.

Once he confirmed the names, he nodded.

He handed the box to Kreya, signed his name on the slip, and pressed his handprint.

After completing these tasks, the two quickly returned to the tavern, finding no Explorers in the hall, with Burton snoring at the bar counter.

They didn't disturb him and proceeded to Kreya's room.

They took out the equipment from the box.

First was a golden Armor, adorned with some lion patterns, displaying a red and gold color scheme.

[Lion's Guard]

[Chest Armor]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes:]

[Defense slightly enhanced]

[Magic Resistance slightly enhanced - Elemental]

[Introduction: A gift from subordinates, forged with a mix of Magic Power, as a soldiers' tribute to their general.]

Kane handed the Chest Armor to Kreya, sharing his evaluation results with her.

This piece wasn't top tier within Copper Equipment, but it was definitely high quality.

While Kreya was putting on the gear, Kane proceeded to evaluate the next item.

This was the headpiece of the set, but not a Helmet, rather a Crown.

The entire Crown was golden with tiny Gemstones and various patterns adorning it.

[Majesty of the Lion King]

[Crown]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Slightly increases mental resistance]

[Skills: Clear Mind] (Once a day, enhances the wearer's Spirit upon use, suppresses negative emotions, and extends sensing range.)

[Introduction: The Imperial General is also the Grand Duke of the Empire, a symbol of bloodline and power.]

This piece was exceptional, both in appearance and Attributes.

It featured a skill very suitable for Kreya, elevating her combat instincts.

After Kreya donned the Armor, she exuded an imposing presence, and Kane handed her the Crown.

Once Kreya wore the Crown, her noble demeanor was truly unveiled.

Kane immediately picked up the final piece of equipment for evaluation.

[Guardian of the Lioness]

[Leg Armor]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Slightly increases agility]

[Introduction: A gift from the nurturing mother to safeguard her kin's safety.]

Looking at the Leg Armor in hand, Kane was a bit perplexed about how Kreya would wear it, as it was clearly human gear.

Kreya retrieved a circular Copper plate from her Space Equipment and handed it to Kane.

Kane picked it up for evaluation.

[Ingenious Protective Stone]

[Consumable]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: None]

[Skills: Equipment Transformation] (Alters gear to fit one's body size if incompatible.)

[Introduction: A Protective Stone specially created by Mist for Explorers.]

Looking at the consumable in hand, Kane realized such things existed.

It made sense, considering the diverse Races in this world, with some having vastly different body sizes. If a great piece of equipment dropped that one couldn't wear, it'd be quite embarrassing.

He returned the Leg Armor and Protective Stone to Kreya.

Kreya took them and applied the stone to the equipment, which then emitted a glow, transforming into four suitable leg pieces for Kreya wearing.

Once Kreya geared up with the entire set, her intrinsic aura seamlessly blended with the equipment.

Noble, elegant, and spirited.

Coming to his senses, Kane placed his hand on Kreya, examining the set's effects.

[Lion Pride Set]✓

[Armor Set]

[Attribute Bonus: Medium physical enhancement]

[Set Skill: Dominion of the Lion Pride] (Once every two days, creates a field underfoot, granting the Lion King's blessing, with comprehensive enhancements. Allies receive strength boosts under the Lion Pride's blessing.)

Aside from the Crown, the rest of the equipment was quite ordinary, except for their appearance.

But with the set bonus, it had become an exceptional ensemble.

This set might very well last until the Silver tier.

The skills endowed by the set indicated formidable prowess just by their description.

Kreya puffed out her chest, turning in circles beside Kane.

"How is it?"

"It suits you perfectly."

However, upon closer look, Kane fell into contemplation.

It seemed the set was missing something.

Kreya noticed his expression and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Kane's eyes lit up. He clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I know what's missing—a Cloak."

Recalling his past gaming experiences, he placed his hand back on Kreya.

Indeed, new info appeared at the end of the set list.

(Secret Intelligence Department: Based on your information, we've discovered this set is missing a Cloak. We've now located the Cloak in the Eternal Victory Battlefield within the Silver Dungeon.)

Seeing this information, Kane couldn't help but smile.

"What's up?"

"Oh, nothing. You really do look dashing in this set."
