The fact that when the four people with negative skills got together, they had some kind of synergy

"[Mummy stealing]...? I don't know."

"Me too. I've never heard of it before......"

Melina and Cocor say, respectively.

Negative skills between these two are often rare, but Tet's are also considerable. There are three high-level adventurers, and no one knows.

Even from the skill name, I can't imagine the effect at all.

I just had a weird feeling.

Ask Teto.

"What kind of skill is that?

"It's easy."

Teto answers lightly.

"I will take on all the debuffs that the same party members receive. That's all the basics are."

"Uh... wait, wait. Is that really just a debuff?

"Yes, I am."

"Shh, it's amazing. I can't believe I have something that works like that with my skills..."

The two magicians said it like they were excited.

I don't know. I ask.

"Is something unusual?

"Yes. Actually, buffs and debuffs are essentially indistinguishable. Status is named Grant Effect, and they treat it the same way."

"Oh, really?"

"That's right. So there's no magic or item that just turns off or prevents debuffs. Eliminate the effects of cocols, because the buffs will be erased with you, right?

"Skills that distinguish buffs from debuffs are extremely rare at the point of time! I don't even know if there's anything else."

"Haha, I see you are. Even the skill description says it's not a debuff, it's a negative grant effect."

Teto says with a laugh.

"But from me, it sucks."

"I don't know, is that a negative skill in the first place?

Cocor asks.

"For example, if all the party members got a Debuff for Endurance Decrease/Small, that would be all Teto had to do, wouldn't it? Isn't that more beneficial?"

"That's not a convenient skill."

Teto explains.

"I wouldn't change the effect no matter how many times I get the same debuff if I were normal, but in the case of [mummy stealing], the rank of duplicate minute effects increases. Even Debuffs in the Small rank rise to Special when received four times."

"Oh, that's..."

"It sucks when you get hit with all sorts of debuffs. For once, all parameters were less than half. Every party member I was with at that time abandoned me and ran away... and I was dying."

……

"Solo all the time since then. I made up my mind that I would never go to a party again."

"That was... a disaster"

Exactly, I've never seen that bad either.

I didn't feel compelled to think about taking a kill or a drop.

Nevertheless.

Take on the debuffs that party members receive instead, or what?

Then, for a moment...

"Wait. Is that true?"

Melina asked again, surprised.

Teto tells me like I'm sick of it.

Your sister really doesn't believe me.

"That's not weird. A single parameter reduction debuff should be up to 40% less. How can it be less than half?"

"You have a shallow mind. Even if you don't have my negative skills, that can happen. For example, if you are receiving Durable Decrease/Special and All Status Decrease/Special at the same time. This overlaps the effect, and the VIT number breaks the critical half."

"Are you trying to tell me it was such an extreme situation?

"No? No matter how many negative skills I have, I rarely get that much debuff in duplicate. At that time, [mummy stealing] had an added effect."

"Additional effects?

"This negative skill increases or decreases its effectiveness. The higher the overall reward rate for the party, the higher the Debuff effect it receives."

"Reward Earning Rate......?

I don't know. Words came up.

"What, that. You've never heard that before."

"Me too...... what does that mean?

"From what I've looked into, apparently it's about the amount of monster drops and the ease with which rare items come out"

"You don't seem to understand. Is that something that changes depending on the party?

"I'll change. For example, if you have [Golden Luck] skills, you start dropping a lot of coins, right? [Lucky] Skills make it easier to rare items to drop, and [Drop Rate Increase] system skills make it easier to count more items. When someone with this kind of skill is at a party, it seems to treat them as if they are getting a higher reward…"

Teto continues.

"I had [Drop Rate Up/Medium] and [Luck] then. The debuff effect was up for that matter. I was just at the party, so I was alarmed."

"Yeah, I see... that, but..."

"Mr. Teto."

I ask Teto to look at Melina as if she noticed something.

"You said earlier that the effect would increase or decrease. Then give it a whirl... if you're at a party with a low chance of winning rewards, will the Debuffs have less effect?

"Ugh... yeah. I guess."

Teto answers the question of his lack of confidence.

"That's what the skill description says. If someone with [poor god blessing] or [unlucky] system skills is at the party, the effect will be reduced for that matter......? I've never had a party with someone like that, I guess."

"That's... how far back are we going?

"Hmmm... I don't know exactly how this skill works either. But based on the rate of increase... if you have [drop-rate reduction/medium] and [unlucky], it would be enough to void the debuff in the" Small "rank."

……

"Ma, such a poor party, I don't want to go in if you ask me.... What's wrong?

Teto frowns at us when we shut up.

"... well, let's try it first"

That's what Melina says, gets up, looks down at Teto and tells him.

"In the meantime, Teto. You, come into our party."
