Chapter 92

Energy Shield Breaking Bullet (Model I) . C-Grade Ammunition .

Increases attack power by 20% and additional energy damage by 100 points . It has a very strong damaging effect against C-grade and lower level defenses and an additional 5% final damage effect .

When Feng Luo opened the box and saw the 150 rounds of special armor-piercing bullets neatly placed and emitting a faint blue light, a thought flashed through his mind .

This is an authentic C-grade bullet!

Energy shield breaking bullets were known to be highly expensive . The market value of a single round was at least 500 credits . It was also appraised as special ammunition with attributes as high as B-grade . These had been used by Black Panther in the previous mission . The damage dealt by one shot was equivalent to four or five shots of C-grade double armor-piercing rounds from Feng Luo .

A 20 percent attack increase, a very strong damaging effect against C-grade and lower level defenses, and 100 points of additional energy damage… Each of the first three attributes was very practical, not to mention a very special attribute—an additional 5 percent final damaging effect .

In the equipment descriptions in War, there were special terms for certain attributes that were rarer than general attributes—for example, “final attack,””absolute resistance,””total defense,” etc . The meaning of the word “final attack” in this case referred to the added improvement after stacking the weapon’s attributes with the upgrades made to it .

It may not have been easy to understand, but this could be capitalized on by using Feng Luo’s talent . Among the attributes of his Lethal talents was one that increased the final damage of lethal attacks by 100 percent . This would mean that the 100-percent increase in lethal attacks would be added to the base damage after calculating the stacked body attribute bonus, profession specialization bonus, equipment attack power, and skill damage bonus . This meant it would double the damage of attacks .

By contrast, if the word “final” wasn’t in the attribute description, the addition would generally be based either on equipment, body, physical fitness, etc . , meaning the effect could be far lower .

For example, the description of the Warrior’s primary skill, Charge, had specified that speed of movement was increased by 200 percent . But this did not mean that once a warrior used Charge, the maximum speed would become three times that of a Warrior not using Charge . Due to 200 percent of Charge being based on the bonus of the movement speed of the body itself, it would not add the bonus to attributes such as the speed of combat boots, speed increases from accessories, or speed increases from buffing potions . Therefore, one’s speed certainly could not reach three times the original speed! Thus, it could be said that attributes including the words “final,””absolute,” or “whole” were regarded as rare among otherwise normal attributes .

Any piece of equipment with such attributes had a much higher value than similar class equipment . As long as the other attributes were decent, a piece of equipment with such excellent attributes could be sold at no less than the price of Rare-grade equipment . This was also the reason why the talent system rated Feng Luo’s talent as an S-grade talent, because increasing final damage by 100 percent effectively doubled his lethal damage .

******

“Good stuff!”

Feng Luo used his thumb and the index finger to pick up an energy shield breaking bullet and examine it . It was a 7 . 62mm diameter bullet with the tip painted in black and blue . The shell was made of special material that appeared translucent . But the most unique feature was that a small segment of a light-blue energy crystal could be seen inside .

From the bullet’s name, it could be known that it was not conventional gunpowder ammunition; it used energy crystals as a propellant instead .

On a related note, this was already a kind of ammunition that was more high-tech than gunpowder weapons . Fortunately, it had no special requirements for a specific model of gun in the game, so it could just be used with the M110 .

“Oh, and another thing, Feng!” said Mu Wu, suddenly remembering something . “As the area of ​​this mission is very wide, I have divided the 300 people into groups of ten and specially reserved a position for you in a small team . Mu Zi will bring you to them in a moment . ”

Mu Zi, a Level-45 Scout with the ID “Newcomer Mu Zi,” was the driver of their energy SUV . Feng Luo knew that he was a member of the security department of the nightclub, had decent fighting skills, and was very smart . Mu Wu would certainly not arrange him into a team without consideration, so Feng Luo nodded .

Then the voice of a middle-aged man came from the communicator’s mission channel . “Hello everyone, please turn on the screen of the mission channel . Young Master Lu has a few words for everyone . ”

For the completion of the mission, everyone was tuned to a unified mission channel built by the company . In the original settings of War, the communication distance of players was generally only within a range of ten kilometers . This was due to the disruptions caused by energy crystals and magnetic fields . However, if a dedicated combat command vehicle was purchased, communication range could be extended to 100 kilometers . The person who was speaking on the channel was obviously sitting in the command vehicle .

After about ten seconds, a handsome man who was about 25 years old, a Fire Manipulator, appeared on the virtual screen of the mission channel .

“Hello everyone! I am the Acting President of Lu Conglomerate, Lu Chen . ”

He stood tall and straight and spoke with a strong tone and a smile, but he had a very confident gaze in his eyes . Lu Chen, the young master of Lu Conglomerate, had the gamer ID “Dark Night Stars” and was a Level-48 Fire Manipulator . His gaze reminded Feng Luo of someone .

Feng Luo turned his head and found out that Mu Wu was closing his eyes at the moment . It seemed that he was tired after two continuous work days, so he was taking a short nap .

There was really nothing to listen to . The “young master,” or “Dark Night Stars,” was saying things that were not useful . In summation, it was about encouraging everyone to fight well and work hard for the company to advance .

Blah, blah, blah… thought Feng Luo .

In the end, though, he finally brought up something more motivating, which was that the players who had the top 50 contributions in this mission could earn a unit of free housing of 100 square meters after the city was built, and the number-one player would get a 200-square-meter street shop in a bustling location . In addition, if a house or a shop wasn’t wanted, it didn’t matter . These two rewards could also be converted directly into credits or stars coins .

“It sounds generous but actually is a more effective method!” Feng Luo commented, referring to the actions of Dark Night Stars .

Dark Night Stars may have sounded generous, but he actually had nothing to lose . After all, in this kind of mission, the players who could earn the top 50 contribution totals were definitely the best of the best . It would be worthwhile to tie them to the new city by giving them a house .

He also specifically said that the reward could be converted into credits, which would not dissatisfy the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group or the Veterans Tribe of Silvermoon City . Even if a member of these groups entered the top 50, they would not feel that he had deliberately taken the opportunity to steal their talent . Such a person could be considered equivalent to Mu Wu . Feng Luo thought so in his heart .

He turned back and glanced at Mu Wu . His eyes were calm and were looking at the scenery outside the window .

About ten minutes later, the energy SUV gradually stopped and the driver Mu Zi called to them . “Brother Wu, Brother Feng, we have reached our destination!”

“Let’s go!”

Feng Luo and Mu Wu open the vehicle door on each side and disembarked .

The location where the team stopped was on the outskirts of the Ruins Area, so when Feng Luo got out of the car, he saw the city ruins hundreds of meters away . It was a big city . Even though Feng Luo used his enhanced vision, he couldn’t see where the borders of the ruins lay .

The situation was similar to the S-53 military base . However, compared to the fortified military buildings, most of the high-rise buildings in the city had already collapsed . Maybe just one out of ten still stubbornly stood . In addition, on the ruins formed by the collapsed buildings, some places were covered with dense weeds and tall trees . Monsters could even be briefly seen as they moved through the grass or under the trees amid these ruins .
