Fatal Shot Chapter 491

Chapter 491: 491
25 million credits . More than 200 Star Coins .
If it was on earth, this price for a virtual product was definitely considered a sky-high price .
When comparing in detail, this price was not really high, but it was rather actually at least 50% lower compared to the true value of this Pet Evolution Fluid .
Although the rebellion camp players revealing on the forum about being able to accept a high-grade Chip mission had resulted in the price of high-grade Pet Chips dropping by quite a lot these past few days . It now had not dropped to the extent of millions of credits yet .
The price of one high-grade Pet Chip still maintained at a high price of around 10 million credits .
It was not possible for the high-grade Pet Chip to have a chance of controlling “Quasi-Boss” pets – the price definitely could not be compared with this Pet Evolution Fluid .
Of course, Feng Luo was very agreeable with Phoenix getting the Pet Evolution Fluid in the end .
In this mission, the contribution of Phoenix, or it should be “Dark Phoenix,” was extraordinary in some levels .
If it was not for her persisting for so long as she drove and chased William, little Sally would very likely have already been infected and everyone’s loss would have been huge . Looking back, if Phoenix had not tracked Nightingale, their Agent mission would have possibly failed .
Onishi had probably considered this, or had other reasons, thus chose to give up .
Big Pineapple was purely a miser violator – after all, this thing only had a 10% chance of evolving a pet to Quasi-Boss .
He calculated in his mind and felt that raising the price again would really be a loss .
Thus, the thing at last had landed in Phoenix’s hands .
“Jelly, come on out . ” Picking up the Pet Evolution Fluid, Phoenix immediately summoned her pet “Jelly . ”
Previously, after this pet had helped a seriously injured “Dark Phoenix” take a lethal blow from the Tyrant T-100, it had been kept by her back in the Pet Space .
After being summoned now, everyone could finally clearly see its general appearance .
It did not look like the kind of round balloon that was almost transparent upon being inflated at that time when it was protecting Phoenix . Rather, it had shrunk to about the size of a basketball, soft and elastic, and on it were two unobvious round dot-like eyes and a flat mouth .

Overall, it indeed looked like jelly . No wonder Phoenix had given the pet this name .
However, Feng Luo felt that this pet looked a bit similar to an organism called “slime” in a fantasy novel on Earth – both were semi-transparent soft-bodied organisms, extraordinarily cute but insufficient in ferocity .
Of course, one could not just look at the appearance of organisms in War .
24K was also an adorable pet, but could summon blades and shoot out savage-type troops with astounding combat power .
Without mentioning the attributes of Phoenix’s pet, just with how it was able to protect Phoenix and live after the Tyrant T-100’s attack, it was clearly stronger than most pets .
“Gurgle…”
When the slime creature landed on the table upon being summoned by Phoenix, it was as if it was sleeping, the side of its mouth blowing up transparent air bubbles .
Only until Phoenix grabbed it up from the table and shook it did it move its eye-like black dots, letting out a delightful call from its mouth, and rubbing its soft body on Phoenix .
“Pop!”
As it turned its head, Jelly’s black dot-like eyes suddenly widened a little, the air bubble blown up at the side of its mouth quickly burst .
It was because it saw the shiny silver syringe held in Phoenix’s hand behind it .
“Gurgle, gurgle…”
The slime creature turned to escape like a little fellow afraid of needles . Clearly, it would not be able to escape the clutches of its owner .
“Be good, Jelly, don’t move . ” Phoenix grabbed onto it and quickly injected all the evolution fluid into it .
“Gurgle, gurgle…”
The poor slime creature could only powerlessly struggle its changing body, expressing its helplessness with simple noises .
“Hm? How’s it, has the attributes changed?” After Phoenix injected the evolution syringe into Jelly’s body, Big Pineapple could not help but probe while standing to the side .
“Should be impossible to be so fast . After all, the evolution fluid has just been injected in, it’d at least need time to fuse…” Onishi said standing to the side, his expression also observing .
After the evolution fluid entered Jelly’s semi-transparent body, the naked eye could see that it rapidly circulated its entire body .
After one minute of waiting, there was no physical change at all .
“The attributes have changed, it succeeded, the name already has the term Commander-Grade now . But how come there isn’t even any unique change in its appearance?” Phoenix shook Jelly which had been forced into injection and was lying with a grievous face on her thigh exposed between the gap in her Red Lotus Set armor, her expression a little doubtful .

“There’s change, I feel like it’s already caving in, is it transforming…” Big Pineapple stared at Jelly lying between Phoenix’s thighs, mumbling something .
“I can’t see if it has transformed, but the color should’ve darkened a bit . ” Onishi said with confirmation .
As a Scout, his observation was definitely above Big Pineapple, or should it be said that the points of focus of the two of them now were completely different .
“Ah, why is it like that? There’s no change, no change at all in the HP, attributes, Level…could this evolution fluid have a rate of failure too?” Phoenix flipped open Jelly’s attribute panel gloomily .
Then she held Jelly up in both hands once more, raising it to her chest, rubbing and pressing it .
“Should be impossible, didn’t it say in the evolution fluid attributes that evolution to Commander-Grade was 100%? Plus, didn’t the name already have the Commander-Grade prompt…” Feng Luo creased his forehead, feeling a little perplexed .
“Eh? How strange, its panel actually still has an evolution state now…” Phoenix flipped Jelly’s body over, which had an innocent face .
When she went to the attribute panel again, she finally noticed an unusual aspect .
It was already a Commander-Grade in Jelly’s attributes, but the “evolution state” still existed in the attribute prompt, not disappearing .
Due to this evolution state, that had been there since after she injected the evolution fluid, thus she did not feel that this was a unique aspect at all from the start .
But thinking of it now, this was in itself some sort of indication .
“No way, isn’t this saying…” Hearing Phoenix’s words, the three of them exchanged glances of disbelief, already guessing such a possibility .
It was a 10% rate – was Phoenix’s luck a bit too well-selected?
Although it said in the Pet Evolution Fluid’s attributes that there was a 10% chance of evolution into Quasi-Boss and it was technically not bad that there was a chance, the problem was that a 10% was too low – it was an entire 90% rate that it would only evolve into Commander-Grade .
Why was it that when it came to Phoenix’s dense-looking slime creature, it had hit the 10%?
“It’s a loss, a huge loss . ” Big Pineapple’s eyes finally stopped staring at things and his eyes stagnated as he murmured .
“Jelly is actually more pitiful, just a jelly that has been driven out by its herd due to being mutated; I met it in a forest while doing a Hidden Mission, scaring it away at the start . In the end, I realized that it has no attack power, and at that time, it followed me all the way wanting food, so I must well set a contract with it . Heehee, seems now that this decision was very wise . ” Phoenix’s initially slightly depressed face had completely changed; she joyfully squeezed Jelly left and right in her hands, which almost rolled it eyes with a “gurgle, gurgle . ”
“A loss, what a huge loss…I’m thinking could it be that because it’s the first Pet Evolution Fluid in the game, so the rate has a hidden increase . ” Big Pineapple said depressingly .
“Wouldn’t you say that Phoenix’s all-red attire added a hidden luck attribute?” Onishi, who had been silently suppressing, suddenly expressed an opinion – even his expression was slightly depressed .
He probably did not think that Phoenix’s would actually have been so good – her pet quickly becoming a Quasi-Boss .
With his financial power, purchasing a high-grade Pet Chip to get a suitable Commander pet was naturally not a problem, but there was really no way for a Quasi-Boss . As it was unbuyable even if one had the money .
“Heehee, thanks everyone . ” Phoenix held Jelly up and placed it on the table, shaping its soft body to show everyone a thanking motion .
“With this, there’s another Boss-Grade pet in the team, next time it’d be easier completing missions together, no need to partly rely on luck as much as this time . ” Feng Luo smiled .
After saying this, he paused . Just then, a message suddenly popped up on his Agent Wristwatch .
“The Agent Department to present to us the Staff Sergeant ranks, insignias and mission rewards have arrived at Storm City, we are to go there straight to claim the items . ”
Not just him, correctly speaking, everyone in the house had received this message .
“It’s finally the reward presentation . Alright, although I’ve lost a Quasi-Boss pet, I hope the attributes of the Staff Sergeant rank and army insignia will be able to heal the damage to my soul . ” Big Pineapple, who initially looked lifeless and unmotivated, showed excitement after seeing the message .

Obligate of a Self-Ordained Sorcerer
Come join the Discord! It was a typical late-night friday for Mara, secluded in her apartment in front of a digital expanse, relentlessly mashing code into a keyboard. An introverted workaholic, but this was what she wanted - what she had strived so hard to achieve. So why did she feel so lost? Her life was productive, comfortable, satisfying. Plenty had it worse but she still felt... ungrateful? Stunted? The right word escaped her, but she could feel the general revelation settling upon her.

So taking an intrusive portal to god-knows-where, Mara will come to find that her new world offers boons and banes with equal abandon. Magic, skills, and unforgiving difficulty. For a frail human shut-in, finding herself stranded in the middle of a sprawling dungeon was one of the least desirable outcomes.

This is a story of magic and adventure with skills and stats galore. A litrpg / isekai epic that I've been inspired to make after years of wonderful works like "So I'm a Spider," "Rimuru the Slime," "Azarinth Healer," "Negima!?," and plethora of other isekai and fantasy novels and animes. Special shout-out to Douglas Adams, a big influence on narative humor that's had a non-insignificant effect on my writing style. I hope you enjoy joining Mara on her journey as I attempt to scratch the itch they left behind.Chapters target 3-6k~ words. Though I'm personally aiming for a chapter every couple weeks, I think I can at least promise one a month with how busy work's been. I made a Patreon due to requests, if you'd like to support me there I'll be using it to fund artwork and RR ads for increased exposure.

Two kids around- a twin of girl and a boy- told him that he fell from the upper world into the deepest place, where the sun could never reach and a single-season took all of the year. The youth didn't wait long until he voiced his desire of returning to the upper world, but for some reason, the humans here would prevent him and chase him away... and the little girl who only glared at him eventually told him that someone inside her was saying that youth was the worst being he had ever seen. Not to cause trouble to anyone, the youth decided to go away... but he didn't know that wherever he went trouble would always await.
