BXBX NOVEL Chapter 156
Chapter 156: Alex’s reward
“Alex! You and your legendary class! Haha!” Zhen shouted loudly while running toward his friend.
He was in such a bright mood that his usual optimism was too much for him. He kept smiling and oozing out his happy aura, infecting other party members as they wore pleasant smiles as well.
Alex smiled, “Yeah…” He came closer to Zhen, then whispered to his ear, “I got that help from a kiss.”
“You lucky bastard!” Zhen got a little jealous, punching his homie from teasing him like that.
Alex grinned, feeling quite proud of himself.
Everyone else caught up to them. Their stamina and other stats had been worn out from a long battle with the last boss. Yet, their anticipation and excitement gave them a new portion of energy to move.
Team Homies looked at the doors in the middle with sparkling eyes. Every one of them was already an adult, yet they looked like kids, similar to Celia.
Everyone passed the doors!
[You have arrived in the dungeon’s treasury.]

The treasury room looked like a picture straight from a fantasy book.
There were at least seven piles of gold coins, shining and tempting Team Homies to jump at them. A few items had been drowning in those mountains of money, their edges barely peeking outside.
Alex and his homies had a simple rule; the first-come, the first served.
They stared at the items first, trying to make their full form. Since they could just pick one, it would be wise to study the items first… However, everyone was so impatient and greedy that the competition unfolded between them.
Every member of Team Homies locked their eyes on the items they wanted to pick!
“Are you ready?” Tomo Homie pushed his glasses, “Three… Two… One… Go!”
Everyone then rushed to the items that looked like they would be useful for them. For example, Josh had spotted a shield’s edge. He believed that it would be the shield with unique skill or class!
Everyone else was the same.
The first-come, the first-served rule was so that no one could snatch away the picked-up item. Since four homies used swords, it would be natural for them to look out for such a weapon.
Alex, Zhen, Josh, and Dancing Shadow had noticed the sword’s hilt in the golden mountain. Josh didn’t even think he would be able to snatch that first, so he quickly dropped the idea of chasing after it.
But then, he noticed something close to the shield, so he was overly happy.
Alex also didn’t want to go for the sword. He had more [Test Swords] in his treasury that would work with his [Sword Mana], so he didn’t feel like stopping his friends’ growth, at least this time.
And then, Dancing Shadow also gave up on the sword. She couldn’t argue with Tomo Homie’s friends, and she also didn’t want to give them a wrong impression. It was her first time meeting and working with all of them, so she didn’t want to step over certain boundaries.
Alex decided to pick a scroll. That scroll gave off quite a familiar aura that was similar to the one he had on his sword. He felt like the item he picked up was the best because of it.
And as the system flashed within his eyes, Alex was overjoyed with his choice.
His eyes sparkled, “Bloodrune Crafting Method. Good! I was looking for a subclass.”
[Bloodrune Crafting Method(S) – One of the runes crafting methods. You can pump out the blood of your enemies to create [Bloodrune]. You can apply bloodrunes on items and living beings.]
[You have learned Bloodrune Crafting.]
[Bloodrune Crafting(S)(Proficiency: none]
“Seems like you’ve learned an epic skill, Alex,” Josh approached Alex while holding his new shield.
It was a silver shield with golden edges. It looked pretty heavy as it was more than half Josh’s size… In Alex’s eyes, that item actually looked like something from the Dwarven Kingdom, unlike his sword.
He smiled and nodded, “Yeah. It’s actually Bloodrune Crafting Method… I will study that and increase you guys’ stats soon enough.”
“Haha! That’s nice!” Josh grinned.
They sat down close to each other, talking about their items more. It turned out that Josh had received a new powerful skill from his shield. It was connected to one of the demi-human lands, so he hoped to go on an adventure here.
He felt like it would give him a class quest, so he wanted to go here alone.
Alex chuckled, “Look to the side.”
Josh followed Alex’s eyes. He then noticed Tomo Homie and Dancing Shadow sitting even closer to each other. His friend was talking too much, even holding Dancing Shadow’s item as she passed it to him with utmost trust.
Josh chuckled, “Everyone will go their own way for a while. He also has to go bowling with her!”
“Haha! True! We can’t forget that!” Alex burst out laughing.
Pedro was studying some robe on the side. He looked intensely focused, his eyes were narrowed, and he kept biting his lips as if he tried to probe into his new item.
As for Zhen, he came to Alex and Josh, “I heard you are going for a solo adventure?”
Zhen waved his sword after asking, showing off his new item. His weapon left golden traits, seemingly carrying power within.
Josh nodded, “Yes. What about you?”
Zhen sheathed his sword, then closed his eyes, thinking deeply, “If we go in the same direction, then we can adventure together for a while. What about you, Alex?”
Alex smiled, “I have to practice dual-wielding… And I also got a new idea about the magic I want to pursue, which should help me with the style I have in mind.”
Josh asked, “Did you get that idea after fighting Nobum?”
“Yes,” Alex agreed.
Josh replied, “I think I’ve taken a liking to [Rider] Subclass… So I might look out for that subclass too… It’s a pity that this Silver Wolf will soon leave us.”
Alex and Zhen looked at the Silver Wolf, who had been sleeping together with Bo, “It’s thanks to them that we managed to get this far.”
“Yeah,” the boys replied simultaneously.
