9: Huge Drops
Boom!!!
a loud explosion sounded off!!
the zombie king's body was broken apart and exploded into pieces, its lower body fell to the ground while bleeding profusely, and the zombie king's upper body was missing, Proving just how devastating the attack was.
[Ding!
boss monster, Zombie king was killed]
[Level up!!!]
[Level up!!!]
Austin had leveled up twice after killing the zombie king.
While the zombie king's body disappeared, it was replaced by a whole bunch of items.
"Big drops"
Austin said in excitement while walking over.
He picked up the stack of hundred-dollar bills and stuffed them into his inventory.
Through this whole dungeon today, he had earned over 1,500 dollars, which was a lot.
The boss had dropped close to 1,000 dollars alone.
Austin put away his greedy smirk and looked down at the other items.
There was a glass container that had a red substance, a weapon in the shape of a wooden stick adorned with a blue crystal at the top, a black robe, a skill book, a wooden mask, and some more money which he still needed to pick up.
Austin grabbed everything and put it into his inventory, not bothering to even look at what they were.
As he expected, the moment Austin finished collecting all the drops, a system prompt immediately appeared in front of him.
[Ding!
The time is up! dungeon closing]
The system said robotically in his mind.
Austin appeared back where he was in the front yard of the university, his sword and armor had all been placed back into his inventory.
-------
Austin sat in his dorm room while counting all the money he currently had.
Around 1,725 dollars.
This was an amount he never expected to gain within just a matter of minutes.
Austin felt like he was about to tear up, he didn't have to be broke anymore, he didn't have to be that one person who went out with no money.
His sadness was all over.
Austin calmed down his excitement and got down to more important things.
The items which had dropped from the zombie king!
Looking inside his inventory, Austin pulled out the clear glass bottle which held a deep red liquid substance inside.
[Lesser healing potion]
Heals 100 points of HP.
That was all there was to it, it was just a healing potion.
Austin put the healing potion back with a smile.
That would be extremely useful one day if he got injured.
Austin pulled out the next item, it was a wooden stick with some interesting branches at the top which encircled the glowing jade blue crystal at the top, it looked like a wand.
[Mana wand] (Uncommon)
+5 intelligence
+1 Strength
Information on the wand appeared.
Austin looked at the wand in excitement, the increase in stats was very well needed.
[Ding!
Weapon item found!
Would you like to equip it?
(equipped items can be pulled out and retracted back within instants, plus stat increases will apply whether the weapon is being held or not)]
Austin didn't think too much and chose to equip it immediately.
The wooden mana wand turned into a flash of light before entering his body.
To Austin, The wand felt almost like another body part, with a simple thought he could make it appear in his hand instantly.
"Now for the other two pieces of equipment," Austin said before putting away his mana wand.
[Magic Robe] (Uncommon)
+5 Vitality
+1 speed
+1 Intelligence
---
[Warding Mask] (uncommon)
+3 speed
+1 strength
+1 vitality
The magic robe was black, with some golden designs on it, it also came with a hood.
While the warding mask was just a simple wooden mask that only had two holes for eyes, there was only the hollow design of sword slashes on the mask.
Austin equipped both of these items, since the system had a "show or not show" option for armor, he could equip it and have it on at all times, but no one would see it unless he wanted to show it.
"Status," Austin said while he sat on his bed, his status screen immediately appeared in front of him.

Austin looked at his regular stats, and then looked at the added stats from his magic wand and his equipment, it made him twice as much stronger.
As for his magic wand, it provided stats for his intelligence, which in turn boosted his magic ability and strength.
"oh, I still have stat points from leveling up twice," Austin said when he noticed his stat points.
He immediately added 2 points to strength, 1 point to vitality, 1 point to speed, and 2 points to intelligence.
After selecting enter, a warm stream traveled through Austin's body, improving his body according to the allocated stats.
After this Austin returned to the place where he previously practiced his abilities.
"I should create a defensive ability and level it up fast," Austin thought while thinking back to his right with the zombie king, if any of those hits had landed, he probably would've been disabled instantly, or worse, killed!
While thinking about this, he immediately put it into action.
A white glow of mana surrounded Austin before he solidified it, he even tested it out by walking into a tree.
The dome of mana instantly collided with the tree when he got close enough.
The best thing about this mana shield was, Austin could release attacks while inside this mana shield, it wouldn't be blocked by his mana shield, meaning nothing could enter the mana shield but he could release attacks while inside it.
An amazing ability!
With a supply of mana, the mana shield could stay up for hours upon hours, even if it was cracked another would instantly appear to take its place if damaged.
After using this ability a few more times, the system finally noticed it as a skill and added it to his status screen.
Seeing as he was already outside, Austin decided to take a look at the skill book which had dropped from the zombie king.
He had been waiting for a while before he looked at this skill book.
