Chapter 174 - 125: Green Zombie_3
"Delivery?" Lin Wu asked.
Maya shook her head, Blue Star’s deliveries were all sent by aircraft.
A deliveryman executed a beautiful drift stop with his electric scooter just outside the safe zone, not even glancing at the two of them, turned around, and tossed two boxes out from the delivery compartment behind him. His strength was immense, and the packages flew through the open back door of the base. The deliveryman yelled at them, "Dear, don’t forget to leave a five-star rating!" Without paying attention to the two, who stood there dumbfounded, he was gone in a flash.
Lin Ma returned to the base to find two packages lying on the ground, each bearing the mark of a Bounty Hunter and a label specifying that they were personalized items designated for specific individuals to open. Inside were the rewards for completing their mission the previous night.
Lin Wu opened his package and pulled out three book-sized green loot boxes from a box the size of a single book. Maya’s mission reward was a pill.
"A Power Pill, a permanent boost of one-star strength," Maya was somewhat surprised, "Not bad for a three-star mission reward."
With a casual push, Lin Wu slid the Power Pill toward Maya’s mouth. She gave Lin Wu an angry glance, popped the Power Pill into her mouth, and waited, "No increase?"
Lin Wu, puzzled, picked up a piece of paper from the ground and read, "The Power Pill is for external application."
"What?" Startled, Maya looked at the paper that read: Maya’s personalized item delivered at 9:05. Realizing she had been played, Maya kicked Lin Wu in the shin, and he faked a cry of pain. At that moment, Maya joyfully said, "There it is, gained one star!" The plain act of ingesting the pill was only met with surprise and foreknowledge; the contrast of lost and regained made the experience exciting.
