BXBX NOVEL Chapter 43 Enhancement Agents
I took a few moments to catch my breath.
Bishop finished off the rest of the Cloaks around me so my general area was relatively quiet all of a sudden. I still didn\'t know how well Chloe and Rook were doing.
I decided to loot some of the bodies.

- [x74] wood
- [x30] leaves
- [x9] meat
- [x8] rocks
- [x1] Enhancement Agent

In the inventory of one of the Black Cloaks, there was nothing that interesting aside from the \'Enhancement Agent\', I wasn\'t sure what it was.
I looked at the other two.
~
- [x9] wood
- [x31] leaves
- [x9] meat
- [x56] rocks
- [x1] Enhancement Agent

...

- [x54] wood
- [x2] meat
- [x8] rocks
- [x1] Enhancement Agent

They all seemed to have these \'Enhancement Agents\', I looked to see if there was a description of what it did, however, I wasn\'t able to find anything.
Hey Mayuri, do you know what these \'Enhancement Agents\' are?
\'I\'m not your personal dictionary, don\'t just ask me random questions.\'
Ouch.
It looked like I wasn\'t going to have any luck with Mayuri either. I decided to loot the body of the White Cloak, the supposed leader of this settlement.
~
- [x9] wood
- [x31] leaves
- [x9] meat
- [x56] rocks
- [x27] iron
- [x4] gold
- [x8] Enhancement Agents

Hmm, what seemed interesting was that this person has many more Enhancement Agents. Originally, I assumed that the White Cloak just had a combat system or something that was boosting his physical ability, however, there might be something about these Enhancement Agents that would explain his increased strength.
He certainly had many more than his underlings so it could explain his increased strength. I looked at the Enhancement Agents and wondered what I could do with them. If they really increased your physical abilities then I should be able to equip them somehow as well right?
There didn\'t appear to be an option to equip them or anything. I guess I\'d just hold onto them until I could find out how to use them.
I used this time to reorganise my inventory.
I would likely be looting quite a few more corpses so I should make some room.

My inventory was starting to get quite full once again. It was beginning to get quite jarring looking at such a large list of items.
[You have levelled up!]
-
<Level Up!>
Level-7 -> Level-8
Rewards:
- Shop level increase! [1 -> 2]
- More Crafting Recipes
- Inventory Folders
~
Ah finally, I had a way to organise my inventory so I didn\'t have to look at so many different things all at once. I also managed to get a shop level increase, I assumed that meant better things in the shop although I\'ll check it in a second.
I was given the option to sort my inventory into folders so I created a few.
[Vegetation/Wood], [Mining] and [Miscellaneous].
Now that I\'d organised my inventory, I decided to check out the new shop.
-
<Shop+> (Refreshes every day)
[Elite Minion Upgrade Token] - 30 Tokens
[Spear Minion Recipe] - 7 Tokens
[Minion Speed Boost Potion] - 1 Token
[GRAND EXCHANGE]
-
It was called shop+ now which was interesting but the main new feature was the \'grand exchange\'. I looked at it and checked it out.
-
<Grand Exchange>
Top Items:
1. [x1] wood - Cost: 500 Tokens - Seller [Mackenzie Franklin]
2. [x1] enchanted diamond sword - Cost 43 Tokens - Seller [Rodeen Sadeghinad]
3. N/A
4. N/A
5. N/A
-
I guess you needed to be of a significantly high level in order to use the \'grand exchange\' so it seemed that for a pretty long time, it\'s going to be worth no more than some quick comedic relief.
Oh well, I decided to begin making my way around the settlement to try to pick off the remaining Cloaks. I could hear the sound of swords clashing and metal clanging in the distance so I made my way in that direction. There were quite a large number of huts in this settlement, it somewhat reminded me of a small village.
After strolling around some wooden huts and the various other buildings that this settlement had, I found Chloe who had just about finished off the Cloaks she was fighting.
"Hey, William~ I\'m finished over here, are there any more of them?"
"I think my Minions have it covered."
"Ah, that\'s good."
I walked over to some of the Cloaks that she had cut down and looked at their inventories, it seemed that Chloe had already looted them.
"By the way, do you know what these Enhancement Agents are?" She asked.
"I think they give a boost to physical abilities, but I don\'t know how to use them."
"Ah, I see."
She made her way over to me and we began walking around the settlement, checking out all of their buildings.
"There\'s not much in here."
There wasn\'t really anything of worth in any of the huts. Even the items that were scattered around the place were all low-tier items that weren\'t worth picking up. After we searched around for a few minutes, we decided that the place really wasn\'t worth looting. Despite their strength in numbers, in terms of individual wealth, they were pretty poor.
I called some Scout Minions to the settlement and ordered them to search the place, it was better for my Scout Minions to act like vacuum cleaners and scavenge up anything that they could sell for tokens.
After doing so, I looked up at the sky and noticed that it was already quite dark. The fighting had gone on for longer than I had expected and now we didn\'t have time to make it back home before the zombies arrived.
"Looks like we\'ll be camping here for the night."
"Aw... I wanted to sleep in my bed."
"I doubt we\'ll be doing much sleeping tonight."
"Hey~"
"That\'s not what I meant."
I could recall some of my Minions to this new settlement but I decided that it might be a better idea to leave them at our home settlement as there was a chance that it might get destroyed if we leave it unattended. However, as a result, we would have to survive the night with only the two of us and my Elite Minions who were somewhat injured.
