Chapter 127: Intermission (32)

Feng Bujue, of course, was qualified to equip this item . In comparison to the wrench, it both had ‘medium’ attack power and also had additional attributes . About the special effects, the pipe wrench was better when dealing with humanoid creatures, while this steel sword was indeed the best weapon to counter against machinery monsters .

Feng Bujue assumed that this steel sword had two more transcendent features compared to his pipe wrench . First, this was a regular weapon with a sharp blade, so its attack range was wider . Next, although they were both items that came with additional attributes, electrical attribute could not only restrain machinery but could also paralyze other creatures .

Moreover, this one didn’t have the ‘locked’ restriction . Later on, if he had better items to replace it, he could always throw the steel sword to the Auction House and mark it with a high price . Well, with only this reason, it wouldn't be a bad purchase .

After Feng Bujue had purchased this item, his bag was full . However, he couldn’t upgrade his [Newbie Bag], which only had 10 slots, to the [Standard Bag], which had 15 slots, since he didn’t have 1,000,000 game coins . This added to the shock that he had had when he watched the [Tessaiga], so after Feng Bujue had finished purchasing the [Robots Must Die], he left the Box of Fear .

Next, he paid a visit to the Mall to check out the changes of the ranking lists during the time . There was a fierce competition at the Union Combat Competence and Union Overall Competence . Besides the two first rankings, there was a big change for the lower rankings . However, the individual combat competence list and the high levels lists were fairly stable . By the way, it was worth noting that the player who had achieved the max level in Closed Beta, [Fearless Hero], had fallen off the top 10 in combat competence ranking . He also didn’t top the high levels ranking list . Some strange IDs had quietly entered the top 20 of both ranking lists . And, they were all the official main force of ‘Order’ .

. . .

At the Mall, Feng Bujue bought more four magazines of bullets, then sold the dagger he got from the human-hunting scenario to make an unoccupied slot in his bag . Then, he returned to his login space and prepared to queue for playing a scenario .

Currently, he was at level 16 . His stats were as follows:

Title: [The Plot Seeker]

EXP: 3236/16000

Skill Value: 2080

Game Coins: 214800

Specialties: Common D, Weapon E, Investigating E, Fighting D (enhanced by the mask), Shooting D, Curing F, Spiritual F and Summon N/A .

Bag: 9/10, including [Mario’s Pipe Wrench], [The Eye of Hatred], [M1911A1 Pistol], [Echo Armor], [Survival Value Supplements] (medium) x 4, [Flashlight], [Broken Stool], [SPC-500 (20/20)], and [Robots Must Die] .

Items: [Dance of the Knight], [Casey Jones’ Mask], and [Deadly Poker] (Spiritual Weapon) .

Login space storage: 3/10, including Jigsaw Puzzle Card: Monkey, Jigsaw Puzzle Card: Sunglasses, and Jigsaw Puzzle Card: Spinner . ]

Skills: [Perfunctory Maintenance], [Lower Side Kick of a Brat], [Body-Spirit Congregation Technique] and [Planned Victory from Thousand Miles Away] .

In a short while, Feng Bujue wouldn't play Single Player Survival Mode (Nightmare) . Such scenarios that would crack people’s brain and give them a head-splitting headache, he should only play that mode once or twice a week . No one could endure playing it daily .

And, of course, playing Multiplayer Survival Mode with Little Tan and the others was the best choice since they could earn more EXP if they teamed up with members of their Union . However, even if the members of the Hell’s Frontline teamed up all four of them, they could earn only 3% more for their EXP (those additional EXPs weren’t shown in their calculation menu) . Anyway, it was better than having nothing .

Thus, Feng Bujue wanted to play Killing Game mode again . The last time he had played one versus one had ended in confusion so he wasn’t satisfied with it . Due to the so-called ‘ecstasy of players against players’, although the terror element in Killing Game was much reduced, players who kill each other could still make their adrenaline surge, which brought a considerably stimulating experience .

As he had thought about it, Feng Bujue prepared to play one versus one again . Unexpectedly, when he shifted his eyes to the menu, someone sent him a call request .

"Oh, it’s him again . . . " mumbled Feng Bujue .

The one who sent the request was that player whose ID was [Wild Trace Sword Shadow] .

Feng Bujue accepted and instantly spoke up, "What’s up, bro?"

"Hey, hope you are doing well… Feng-Ge, do you have free time now?" From Wild Trace Sword Shadow’s voice, one could know he was in a good mood .

"I’m talking with you from my login space, what do you say?" said Feng Bujue .

"Ha . . . ha . . . right…"

"Don't tell me you want to play with me, or something like that?" asked Feng Bujue with an odd tone .

"What? Aren’t we friends?" answered Wild Trace Sword Shadow .

"Let me guess… Killing Game, right?"

"Yep . "

"Don’t wanna play, don't wanna play, don’t wanna play," said Feng Bujue thrice with an impatient tone .

"Why?" asked Wild Trace Sword Shadow .

"I can’t defeat you," Feng Bujue answered directly .

"Ha, ha . . . " Wild Trace Sword Shadow laughed, "I want to play two versus two with you…"

Feng Bujue was surprised . "No way! You are from a big Union . And you are a hotshot! I can tell you are 90% a professional gamer . Don’t you have fixed teammates?"

"I’m not free to go online during the day . Well, just consider now I have unscheduled time to play, so I’m ready to take a rest," Wild Trace Sword Shadow said, "the other guys from my Studio are all playing in scenarios now . That’s why I came to you . "

"Your Union must have recruited many players . No one is at a suitable level to team up with you?" asked Feng Bujue .

"I’ve checked that . There’re not many professional gamers online now; the available ones whose levels are close to mine are just two or three," Wild Trace Sword Shadow answered, "before I logged in, I stayed in the studio to read the members’ profiles . I have some impression towards those IDs . Those morons’ fighting capacity is just 5 [1] . " He smiled, "Playing with you will be certainly better than playing with them . "

"You are really frank . Your Union’s members’ fighting capacity is just 5, and you are not trying to hide it; instead, you frankly told outsiders…" said Feng Bujue .

"Ha . . . Just a saying . Stuff like competence, good means good and bad means bad . If I give them face, I’m not sure they can progress better . Being stronger is the only way to change the others’ looks on them . "

What Wild Trace Sword Shadow said was reasonable . Moreover, Feng Bujue was the sort of man who would be willing to empathize others . He just smiled, didn’t comment anything, then tried to change the topic . "So, bringing a teammate whose fighting capacity is bigger than just 5 like me, you can be more certain on playing two versus two?"

"Feng-Ge, you are so humble . Your performance is worth being proud of," Wild Trace Sword Shadow said, "about your competence, at least both of us know about that . I’m telling you this . The Spiritual Weapon you got is likely the very first item of that category in Thriller Paradise . Perhaps it’s the only piece that exists at this moment . "

"Ha, ha . . . Alright, alright . I can’t deny that your good will is putting me so high . Okay, I will serve you and join a battle . " Feng Bujue’s words were quite shameless . He had originally wanted to play Killing Game, and now it was like he was going to ‘hold-thigh’ . Moreover, this Wild Trace Sword Shadow was some sort of the pride and chivalrous ‘big-thigh’ in the Martial World Union . Whether it was his equipment, level, or fighting techniques, they were all at the supreme level among players who were specialized in the fighting class .

After Wild Trace Sword Shadow had heard his response, he sent the team invite, "Then we should team up . "
