Familiar living room.

Back home, Li Ang scanned his entire body, making sure he hadn't brought back anything strange (like miniature surveillance devices, seeds, or strains), then released Miss Chai to play on her phone.

He rushed into the bathroom, stored the tattered bulletproof vest in his inventory, and took a shower.

At the climax of the mission, the stone spikes created by Williams had successfully pierced his bulletproof vest, leaving several deep wounds that exposed bone.

But under the effect of the micro-life potion, these wounds instantly healed as if new, without leaving a single scar.

"This stuff would be great for beauty treatments."

Li Ang carefully cleaned his entire body. "Too bad I only have one micro-life potion left."

After showering, Li Ang wrapped himself in a bathrobe and returned to the bedroom, lying on the bed to rest and calculate the gains and losses of this mission.

[Rewards being calculated]

[Player's overall performance: S+, game coins and experience points increased to 160%]

[Mission Reward 1: Excellent quality random item 1]

[Mission Reward 2: 300 experience points]

[Mission Reward 3: 600 game coins]

"The difficulty of this mission lies in the fact that the abnormal organs such as the heart and limbs were just prerequisites for completing the mission. The most difficult part was the abnormal embryo controlled by Williams."

Li Ang silently said, "The normal walkthrough should be to clear all the abnormal organs in the buildings on the ground, collect memories, explore part of the worldview,

enter the underground, find Mrs. Leslie's head, collect enough information,

then return to the ground, use occult knowledge to discover the pipes through which Williams draws power from the mansion, cut off the magic supply to Williams,

and even go a step further, put toxins or something into the pipes to interrupt the resurrection ritual."

Li Ang thought about his teammates and thought, "Unfortunately, Forest Cat and Stonemason are both novices in the field of occultism, and can't do such advanced operations."

"This S+ rating is mainly due to collecting all the memory fragments, deciphering a high degree of the worldview, and interrupting the resurrection ritual in advance, killing Williams."

Li Ang thought, "His resurrection ritual is constantly advancing as time passes.

In other words, the sooner you collect all the clues, decipher the worldview, and find Williams,

the lower his resurrection progress will be, and the easier it will be to eliminate him."

Li Ang thought, and couldn't help scratching his head, "But he was so powerful even before he was fully resurrected. How strong would he be when fully resurrected?

Thinking of the towering vines, the tens of thousands of stone spears are simply walking terrain modifiers."

"Forget it, let's look at the mission rewards first."

After multiplying by a factor of 1.6, the Machine Mansion mission provided Li Ang with 480 experience points and 960 game coins.

His previous experience value was lv11, with 1033/1100 in the experience bar.

He chose to upgrade, changing to lv12, with 413/1200 in the experience bar.

His game coins went from 5446 to 6406.

Li Ang did not use the one free attribute point given after the upgrade, but continued to wait for the rewards from this mission.

[In view of the player's overall performance, a new trait has been triggered]

The system projected three images: one was Li Ang performing a cricothyroidotomy on Forest Cat with a tactical knife.

The second was Li Ang collecting polyps from the lungs and Forest Cat's throat.

The third was Li Ang hanging intestines around his waist, pretending it was a belt.

[Organ Collector: +50 sanity value limit]

A new trait triggered by collecting organs can also increase sanity value?

Li Ang rubbed his chin. "Well, it's the same kind of saucy operation, but the mission I performed in the Mist Realm last time didn't trigger a trait.

I don't know how the system judges this."

Increasing the sanity value limit is definitely a good thing. It can not only extend the time to use the biological template,

but also prepare for using props that consume sanity value in the future.

The last reward was a high-quality random item.

"It's time for the highly anticipated unboxing session!"

Anyway, they are all excellent-level items, so they can't be too bad. Li Ang rubbed his palms, closed his eyes and concentrated, and slowly opened the treasure chest.

Inside the treasure chest was a cloak woven from some kind of black animal fur, with gold trim embroidered on the collar, similar to an ancient cloak (straight collar, opposite placket, slits under the armpits, overall wide and with straps), but the hem of the garment was slightly shorter.

[Name: Mingye Cape (Nightfall Cape)]

[Type: Armor]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Defense: Medium]

[Special Effect 1: Night Quiet. Passively enhances the wearer's stealth ability in nighttime environments.]

[Special Effect 2: Cutting the Moon. Absorbs moonlight to repair the cloak and enhance the wearer's self-healing ability.]

[Consumption: None]

[Equipment requirements: Constitution attribute greater than or equal to 7 points]

[Note: The night is quiet and the ripples are flat. A small boat will leave from now on, and the rest of my life will be spent on the rivers and seas.]

Li Ang got up and took the cloak out of the inventory.

The cloak was quite heavy in the hand. It was made of an unknown material, and its weight was comparable to that of metal armor, weighing as much as twenty kilograms—but for players, a full-body weight of twenty kilograms was nothing at all.

The black fur on the outside of the cloak was extremely soft and warm. Pressing it with your hand could easily leave a handprint, and when you lifted your hand again, the handprint would disappear.

"Medium defensive ability."

Li Ang muttered, tentatively tugging on the black cloak, and found that even with a strength-based attribute of 11 points, he could not tear the cloak.

He took the cloak into the automated pet feeding box and performed various tests on the cloak in the box.

He found that the equipment was not only warm, soft, and fit, but also had a high appearance value (especially the circle of gold trim at the neckline), and the defense was also quite good.

Small-caliber bullets could be easily defended against at close range.

"It's just that the two special effects have to be triggered in a nighttime environment. But it can also be worn as a bulletproof vest during the day."

Li Ang was quite satisfied with the mission rewards. The mission objective of the Machine Mansion stipulated that an S-level completion rating could obtain high-quality random items.

A-level and B-level completion ratings can only obtain rare or ordinary quality items.

Li Ang himself obtained an S+, and other teammates may not have been so high—especially the unlucky E Wu Nian and Dong Feng Po.

These two not only did not personally drop any abnormal organs, but also did not play a significant role in the final battle against Williams.

However, according to a saying on the forum, the difficulty of the tasks issued by the system will gradually increase over time, and has little direct relationship with the player's level.

In other words, it is completely impossible to lower the completion rating, only take a small amount of experience, lower the level, and take more reward equipment and props.

On the contrary, in the early stages of the game, due to the overall lag in attributes, they will be killed by constantly increasing the difficulty of the tasks.

Only by doing their best in each mission and striving to make their own strength higher than the mission difficulty is the key to survival.

"And doing your best in the mission has many hidden benefits."

Li Ang silently opened the inventory and browsed the various organs placed in the slots.

Heart, lungs, kidneys, limbs, embryo.

All the organs originally needed for the resurrection ritual were collected by Li Ang.

In fact, he didn't know what these things could be used for, but it was fine to just put them there. He would take them to the forging furnace later to see if they could be made into equipment.

Fortunately, he had cleaned up his inventory before, putting some things that he didn't use much into the magic box or pet feeding box, so he barely freed up the inventory slots.

"After the number of missions I've done increases, there are more and more things to装 (zhuāng - pack/load/pretend)."

Li Ang thought with some headache, "I wonder if the system has any氪金 (kè jīn - pay-to-win) options, such as increasing the inventory slot limit."
