The Cardboard Explorer 44 Chapter 44

Cynthia stood in a crowd of people and among them were many with the same hair color as her. They were all related to her. All of them was her stepsiblings and cousins.

They all looked focused and they did not talk with each other unlike the other explorers around them chatting and everything.

Cynthia was also preparing herself with her equipment and everything else. Thanks to the newly updated system, it was easier to equip herself with the equipment.

With the equipment function, all she needed to do was think about the equipment she wanted to wear and it will automatically be equipped on herself.

Cynthia wore a white robe and it looked really plain. It did not look as grand as the equipment wore by her step siblings and cousins.

However, considering her ident.i.ty as a princess, there was no way the robe was a low-level equipment.

While she was checking her system for everything she might needed in this exploration, suddenly a loud shout was heard.

Looking in that direction, a young man with full set silver armor stood in front of all the explorers. His golden hair was enough to tell which family he came from.

That young man was the 7th prince of the Golden Dragon Family, Glenn. He will be the one leading the exploration in closing the time limit dungeon that appeared a few hours ago on Planet Draor.

Since Cynthia had too many siblings, she was not close with all of them and Glenn was not one of her siblings that she was close to. He was two years older than her.

Glenn had raked in a lot of achievement for the past few years and he was really popular among many people especially girls.

He was by no means a playboy but he was engaged to four girls and from rumor that Cynthia heard, the fifth one will be soon. It was not a political marriage too and he was the one that made his decision to engage with them.

Knowing about the strict selection in his family about the ones they were marrying, Glenn worked hard to make sure that they were all competent.

He gave a briefing on many things for a few minutes and then it was time to enter the time limit dungeon.

Looking at the dungeon portal, Cynthia's heart was beating fast. She was nervous as well as scared too that she will not be able to come back.

Explorers started getting inside the portal. They had a really determined face as they wanted to save their planet.

Looking at the portal, the time limit of 4 days 15 hours was shown in their system with the level limit of level 20 to level 30.

Cynthia entered the dungeon and suddenly, her environment instantly changed. Cynthia looked around and no one was around her and the portal she came in earlier disappeared.

Cynthia did not panic and looked around but she was really surprised at what she saw.

***

Since the matter regarding the time limit dungeon was important, a live stream of every time limit dungeon in the universe can be seen online.

Cade was in his apartment and he was watching the live stream for the time limit dungeon in Planet Draor, the one that Cynthia decided to enter.

He watched the live stream to see if he can see Cynthia but unfortunately, there were too many explorers and it was hard to spot her.

Cade was actually really worried about her. He was really hoping that they will be the first one who succeed to close the time limit dungeon and Cynthia will be among the explorers that survived the dungeon.

After all the explorers gone inside the dungeon, there was nothing else to see. Cade can only wait the result in four days.

Cade closed the live stream and he went online to see if what he put online were bought by people. To Cade surprise, most of the things he put online were immediately bought by others.

The skill books were sold out, some of the equipment was still there as well as the materials. As for his leftover puzzle piece, Cade decided to put them on auction online.

He decided to not put all at once because it might lower their price. Since everything was done automatically, all Cade needed to do was put the puzzle piece online and wait until the auction for it was done.

He also decided to do the same with the toad and tongue magic crystals. Cade searched online and at the moment, no one had started selling that kind of magic crystal.

While waiting for the auction to be done, Cade went to the shop website online that he had surveyed earlier in the hospital to buy the material to upgrade his linked equipment.

Cade had a lot of money and thus, he decided to buy high grade equipment if possible. However, to Cade surprise, they were really expensive.

He remembered that they were not that expensive a few days ago. He checked on the comment section and found out that the demand for equipment skyrocketed due to the time limit dungeon and the equipment price was raised high.

Cade then came to the realizations that he sold his equipment drop at normal price. He immediately went back to change the price but he was too late and they were all sold out.

"I should have expected that earlier…" Cade was a bit regretful that he was unable to raise the price of his equipment. Cade continued shopping for everything else.

After he was done with buying everything, Cade checked his puzzle piece and the price had gone up a lot. He was not surprise by this because they were super rare after all. He let it continue and went to his bed.

Cade sat on his bed with few equipment around him. They were all the ones he bought earlier to be used as the material to upgrade his linked equipment.

First, Cade decided to use a trouser that had magic defense stat on it as the material to upgrade his jeans. Once Cade made the decision, the system processed the upgrade. Just like before, Cade needed to wait for a while before the upgrade finished.

As to not wasting more time, Cade proceed to upgrade the white t-s.h.i.+rt. He bought a t-s.h.i.+rt equipment but that equipment was a bit special. It had skill imbued on it.

Equipment with skill was not rare. There was many equipment with skill on them and the best example was the blue bear full set equipment Jonathan had.

Cade had never seen Jonathan used the equipment skill but it was common knowledge that full set equipment had them.

As for how strong the skill will be, it was quite the same as normal skill learned from skill book. However, the only different was that, equipment skill had cooldown time and used user's energy while normal skill depended only on how much energies the user had.

The t-s.h.i.+rt equipment had the skill of cooling. It was a simple common skill and it was used to cool down the body of the user.

Cade found out that wearing the t-s.h.i.+rt, hoodie and body armor increase his body temperature and it was too hot. It was quite a torture to him when he was inside the big tongue toad dungeon especially when he was fighting.

Cade used the t-s.h.i.+rt with cooling skill as the upgrade material and he hoped that he can choose the skill as the new stat for his t-s.h.i.+rt.

Cade moved on to his hoodie. Cade actually wanted to buy a robe with a skill that can conceal his presence but that robe was sold out. He kind of got that idea because of s.h.i.+hoon's mute skill.

When he searched it on another store online, their price had unfortunately gone too high and over his budget.

Cade did not know what he should buy. After long consideration, he bought a clothes equipment with another magic defense on it and wanted to upgrade his hoodie magic defense to magic defense 2.

Cade move on to his last linked equipment, the mouth mask. Looking at his cardboard mouth mask, it was too sloppy. He only used it to cover his face from embarra.s.sment wearing the cardboard equipment.

The mouth mask had been his most useless linked equipment. It had the defense stat and can protect his mouth from physical attack but that was it.

At the moment, Cade had never once fought an enemy that went for his mouth. So, the defense that the mouth mask provided was useless.

Other than that, because he did not poke small holes on the mouth mask before it was linked, it was quite stifling wearing the mouth mask.

When he fought a hard battle, there was not much exchange of air happening because of the mouth mask and that sometimes created a lot of disadvantages to Cade.

When he found out about the possible change of design to his cardboard equipment after an upgrade, he was so happy about it and an idea of changing the shape of his mouth mask immediately came to his mind.

Cade wanted to upgrade the mouth mask by using a gas mask as the material.
