Chapter 219: Feng Luo: “Cheating”
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
HP: 3815!
Feng Luo looked at his “equipment-naked” HP, close to an entire two-thirds greater than that of similarly enhanced Gunner players, as well as his exceeding Level-50, full-grade Gunner agility, physique, and strength!
To sum it up, in a similarly equipment-naked state, his basic attributes were probably almost 40 percent higher than others. If one were to add in his similarly locked S-grade talent of “Lethal,” then it would have been even more “rad”!
A 50-percent damage enhancement and a 100-percent lethal damage enhancement! In typical scenarios, in order to land weak-point damage, a large proportion of the opponent’s critical points had to first be hit. Whereas, in order to hit lethal damage, the defenses of one’s critical points had to be completely broken! As such, even though this talent of Feng Luo’s was named “Lethal,” it could not always truly deal highly enhanced damage with “a fatal shot” and could not always finish off someone in one shot!
However, what about in a situation where one was equipment-naked?
It was important to remember that there would no longer be defensive equipment involved when players were equipment-naked. Any attack would be able to hit weak-point damage, and as for dealing lethal damage, it could be done by just attacking the critical points!
Feng Luo had no doubt that even if he were to stab other players’ critical points with a Level-40 Fine-grade dagger now, he would have had a 90-percent possibility of finishing off a player of a vulnerable profession!
What about for a Heavy Armored Warrior?
Hmm. At most, another one or two stabs!
As for whether these battle royale players would spend the default 300 points on unlocking defense equipment? Feng Luo believed that logical-minded people would never do such a foolish thing!
“Er…”
Just as Feng Luo was thinking of this, he saw a Heavy Armor Warrior not far away, taking out a medium-sized black alloy shield. He gave it a heavy slap.
F*ck. I forgot. A Heavy Armor Warrior’s shield is both a weapon and a defense tool!
He had decided to take back a portion of his words.
“Hey, big brother, why didn’t you say that—?”
The Manipulator player before him still wanted to attempt to probe deeper into Feng Luo. But just then, a sudden sound interrupted everyone’s actions.
A levitating, semi-transparent screen had appeared at the top of the cabin, and on it was a middle-aged, yellow-skinned man. He was not very tall and had a cold face—expressionless with grave eyes. With a single look at him, Feng Luo recognized his identity: their true goal on this mission, the Federal Lieutenant General Yamamoto Ichiro.
“Ladies and gentlemen, silence, please!” Yamamoto Ichiro said flatly.
It was as if his voice had some sort of magic power, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the cabin the moment it resounded.
Mm, all right…
Actually, what had truly attracted everyone’s attention was not him, per se, but what was behind him!
Placed inside the semi-transparent display behind Yamamoto Ichiro were a few piles of high-grade cubic energy crystals and a pile of crystal cores. If not for the display’s light-filtering effect, all the players would have probably been blinded by now! Especially since the quality of these energy crystals was obviously that of diamond crystals (C-grade) and above.
There were B-grade energy crystals—possibly even grade energy crystals! The price of one was at least a few tens of thousands of credits. That meant the price of these few piles was probably no less than a billion credits! Whereas, for that pile of energy crystal cores, the price was even more immeasurable!
“I am Yamamoto Ichiro, the organizer of this battle royale game. Very happy to see so many people willing to participate in this humanity-unleashing survival game!” Yamamoto Ichiro’s face was still very expressionless to all the players, including the players and NPCs talking in the other transport aircraft. “There are a total of 1,000 participants in this battle royale game. The limit of duration for this game is three days. After three days, those who live and have successfully reached the designated location will earn these energy crystals and crystal cores, according to your killing points. As for the means of earning killing points, I think everyone is already very clear. That is, to kill your competitive opponents!”
Yamamoto Ichiro’s expression was very cold, but his fingers put in front of him were shivering uncontrollably, as if he felt insuppressible excitement.
“Also, throughout the mission process, random hunting and killing missions will be announced. Please beware of the people beside or near you—perhaps in the very next moment—will become a mission target worth 10 crystals or even a crystal core… Of course, the prerequisite for claiming these rewards is still that you must to be able to live to the end!”
The energy crystals and crystal cores in the display case behind him were given a large zoom-in by the image on the screen. The clear and sparkling crystals and the crystal cores radiated strong energy waves!
One by one, the players in the cabin grew excited, their breathing quickening. After the mission, up to a billion credits could be shared among the people who lived?
Share? Why share with others?
Feng Luo had already seen that many of the players in the cabin had become red-eyed, intensifying their wary looks and guarding against one another!
In such a situation, there will probably be no one at all who is truly able to cooperate by the end!
Feng Luo’s expression had not changed much. The energy crystals and what-not were all virtual; in his heart, it was still the Agent Hidden Profession Mission that was more important!
But it had to be said that this move by the system was well crafted. In this case, it would definitely be impossible even for the players who had intended to cooperate, to fully trust one another. Even if there was no internal strife in the process due to the random killing missions, it was still highly likely that they would backstab one another for the precious mission rewards at the last moment!
After all, how attractive was a billion of credits?
One less person meant an additional share for oneself! And if all were killed, wouldn’t it all belong to one?
Especially when they were strangers to one another, there would be no mental burden associated with killing others.
Yamamoto Ichiro’s eyes flashed with a spark as he spoke, facing the screen.
“The region of this game is within a lawless, stormy sea. Even the Federation’s laws are of no restriction to anyone. You can all kill to your heart’s content, relieve all your dissatisfaction, and be able to earn these energy crystals worth a billion credits! Of course, perhaps some among you are uninterested in these energy crystals but have other motives… I am a man of his word… I just don’t know how many of you will be able to last until the end!”
Feng Luo looked at Yamamoto Ichiro on the screen, knowing that these words must have been meant for the players from the three agent departments.
Clearly, the higher-ups of the Federation and Yamamoto Ichiro had reached some kind of special agreement. And the number of investigator players who lived to the end in this killing game would perhaps determine the outcome of this agreement. What would become of it in the end?
