37. Chests Will Also Have Nice Things

To be fair, the game wasn't just fooling around with CopperPlate. According to the game notifications that came later, that was a stack of items: 10 Frightening Chests.

Frightening Chest: Account-bound. Throw it out during battle at the enemies and they will be frozen with fear for 10 seconds. Agility -5 for 30 seconds. Cooldown time - 10 minutes.

When going against highly skilled players, even a second of hesitation could mean life or death. Within ten seconds, that player could be dead several times over. So, this was quite a nice item. If nothing else, it can be used when escaping a life-threatening situation.

"Okay, okay. It's all right now. Who'll go next?" As soon as I_Am_A_Poor_Man saw the tiny cat hopping around again, he was eager to see what would be revealed next. As expected, the game had the same tastes in pranks as he did.

"I'll go," Ice_For_Miles said. Everyone looked over to where the voice came from before discreetly and unanimously shifting far away from him. Who knew what kind of ridiculous items would be revealed next?

With steady hands, Ice_For_Miles took out his chest and opened it.

Nothing jumped out of the box this time. It was only when Ice_For_Miles held up the item that they saw it was a megaphone. According to the game notifications, it was a stack of items too: 10 Voice-Changing Megaphones.

Voice-Changing Megaphone: Account-bound. Use it to imitate an enemy's voice and they'll be charmed for 5 seconds. Critical rate decreased by 10% for 30 seconds. (Can only be used once per enemy.)

"Pffft..." The game did not disappoint. At the thought of Ice_For_Miles using that megaphone to change his voice, I_Am_A_Poor_Man clapped his hand over his mouth in an attempt to hold his laughter in.

Ice_For_Miles looked at the crowd trying hard to not laugh. Still, he put the item in his inventory with calm hands and said, "Next."

Chrysanthemum was rewarded with a mysterious cucumber. It was very mysterious indeed because nothing was written in its description. The crowd thought and guessed it might be a quest item, but then Chrysanthemum started cackling and muttered, "Cucumber fits a chrysanthemum. Good. Good." The party's minds then prayed and hoped it was not an important quest at all. They don't want to be a participant in that. =_=

NonMeta got three microphones. Using them will create a shrill shriek. Everyone in the area (except for those who'd blocked their ears beforehand) would be confused for 20 seconds. However, everyone in the room suspected it would never be used by NonMeta.

Below_The_Moon got something more normal - an Apothecary's recipe. But upon reading what the recipe was for - Sleeping Potion - his mouth twitched. He forced himself to learn it either way.

Poor_Man was rewarded with a recipe as well, but this time it's a cooking recipe - the Imperial Manchu Feast. After looking at the amount of luxurious ingredients needed, he was sure he'd never ever be so bored as to go collecting them.

"Chief, let's get a poison recipe." With two recipes out already, it was a sign. Poor_Man stared at the chest in HereticKing's hands with starry eyes. It'd be great if it contained an XXX recipe. The kind that will kill anyone who even touches it.

"Mrrow!" The tiny cat was still playing in HereticKing's arms. When it saw him take out the mean chest that scared it before, its claws scraped on it in rage.
