Chapter 292 - “Ghost Weep” Army Knife!
Chapter 292: “Ghost Weep” Army Knife!
Three pieces of Legendary equipment!
At that moment, Feng Luo was practically giddy.
Honestly, he had almost forgotten about the bonus reward for whoever achieved first place in the investigation. And he never would have guessed that the bonus would be so valuable!
When he had previously seen that the T-Rex gun barrel required a C-Grade Authorization, he thought that it would still be a while before Legendary equipment officially made its appearance. But now he was being handed a piece of Legendary equipment on a silver platter!
Of course, saying that he could choose between three pieces of Legendary equipment was not exactly correct. Of the three pieces of equipment, only two could be used as they were. The other was only a component of a sniper rifle; it was not complete.
However, even though it was just a component, it was also the main component which was the most precious in value. The T-Rex gun barrel cost 2000 points, so the main component must be worth more than 3000 points.
Furthermore, it would require at least a C-Grade Authorization!
The tactical belt and army knife weren’t as valuable as the sniper barrel, but they were “complete” pieces of Legendary equipment, so their skill enhancements just needed to be activated before they could be used. They were unlike the T-Rex, which needed at least two more components before its skill enhancements could be activated!
How to choose? Feng Luo sank into a sea of thought.
“You seem to be having trouble deciding?” Haruko said, as if she had noticed Feng Luo’s doubt. “I was just about to tell you something. Pieces of equipment that are Legendary or beyond have a ‘compatibility’ with each player, so you should choose the equipment most compatible with you. That way, you can unleash all the power that the item possesses!”
“Compatibility?” Feng Luo paused. He couldn’t see any such category on the attribute bars of the three pieces of Legendary equipment.
“Compatibility is related to a person’s Force. You have not awakened your Force or attached a Force Guidance Chip, so you are unable to directly obtain the coefficient display.”
“However, you can touch these three pieces of equipment, then decide based on how natural they feel to you!” Haruko said, pointing at the equipment on the metallic platform.
“Touch them?” Feng Luo paused again. He was supposed to pick them up, like a child choosing a toy?
But come to think of it, she must be saying that the system would stimulate players’ senses and nerves during the selection, thus prompting players toward the most suitable equipment and adding a little mystery to the process.
As he thought of this, Feng Luo found that he had already picked up the T-Rex sniper rifle component.
There was no doubt that he was drawn towards this Legendary sniper rifle component. After all, as a Sniper, his main weapon held the dearest place in his heart!
It first felt ice-cold in his hand, but it quickly started to heat up—it felt like some furious prehistoric beast was hidden inside the sniper rifle body!
No wonder it’s called the T-Rex… But is this the feeling that Haruko was talking about? Feng Luo wondered.
He made himself put down the T-Rex and pick up the second piece of equipment, the “Thundersnake” tactical belt.
A dinosaur and a snake. The names fit the items rather well.
But holding the belt was very different from holding the sniper rifle. The tactical belt didn’t give off any distinct sensations, and even if he quietened himself down and felt it carefully, he only had an occasional sense of touching an electrical current.
However, Feng Luo looked at the attributes and realized that the belt’s “Thundersnake Flurry Dance” skill was really powerful.
This was a skill similar to the Manipulator “Ring of Fire,” which enable its user to shape a high-voltage electrical field within a three-meter radius. In addition to causing damage within that range, it also possessed “numbing” and “repulsion” effects!
It was great and powerful, but it really had no feel!
Feng Luo put down the Thundersnake tactical belt and picked up the last piece of equipment—the “Ghost Weep” army knife!
The name sounded a little creepy, but if viewed from its selling points, it seemed like it even surpassed the T-Rex rifle component!
The knife looked a little like one of the Kukri knives used by the Nepal army, (also known as a “Dog Leg knife”). Its exaggerated shape and 30-centimeter black body and blood-colored blade gave off a sense of ice-cold killing intent and strength!
A normal army knife was intending for stabbing, but this type of knife was more suitable for slashing. Also, Feng Luo had no doubt that this knife would be able to chop off a person’s head with just one slash!
The “attack coefficient” in its attributes had actually reached a B-Grade!
[Ghost Weep (Army Knife)]
Grade: Legendary
Attack: 750
Attack Coefficient: B
Material Coefficient: B
Agility +20
Strength +30
Force +100
Unique Attribute: when the target location damage level exceeds 70%, damages defense of A-Grade (included) and below 100%!
Included Skill: Ghost Power
Force usage 50, using it greatly enhances the strength of the arm holding it, lasts for 10 seconds. Able to last for one second for every 10 points of Force usage (lasts up to one minute)!
Required Level: 50
Overall Evaluation: Excellent
An attack power of 750, identical to the Eye of the Thunder, an attack coefficient as high as B-Grade, and a basic attribute enhancement of an entire 50 points.
As a sub-weapon, the attributes of this army knife even surpassed the Light Armored Warrior’s main weapon—even his best Level 50 Rare longsword couldn’t rival this knife!
If he discounted the other attributes, just the B-Grade attack coefficient was enough to make this a superior weapon!
Up until now, the defense coefficients of most of the Heavy Armored Warrior shields did not exceed D+ or C- Grades. When faced with this B-Grade army knife, their defenses would be as weak as plastic!
Furthermore, when he held it in his hand, this knife gave off a strong sensation as well!
When Feng Luo picked up the knife, an icy-coldness instantly surged through his fingers and into his body, as if he was sinking into an endless void. Despite the fact that his eyes remained open the whole time, his surroundings seemed to darken quite a bit.
But Haruko, standing in front of him, looked like she had been outlined. Her body had taken on a very faint layer of eerie red glow!
An illusion? Feng Luo shut his eyes.
When he closed his eyes, he could still feel Haruko’s existence. That was unexpected. Even though his vision was black, there was a faint red color in Haruko’s direction!
Also, he felt like something within his body had just been awakened!
Then, he began to feel like he was drawn towards her!
I’m drawn to an NPC? Isn’t this humiliating.
However, this feeling was only fleeting, and it quickly vanished!
“Hm?”
When Feng Luo had closed his eyes, Haruko’s expression changed. Her eyes showed surprise, and at the same time, a little seriousness and a rare cautiousness!
“I’ll choose this army knife!” Feng Luo said as he opened his eyes.
It wasn’t an illusion; the feeling this “Ghost Weep” had given him was much stronger than what he had felt from the T-Rex!
Perhaps, this is the compatibility Haruko was talking about!
“Mm, alright!” Haruko’s face had already regained composure, and she did not say anything about what had just happened.
After she nodded her head, the metallic platform descended back under the floor, taking the two pieces of equipment with it.
As for the “Ghost Weep,” it disappeared into Feng Luo’s backpack.
But his backpack was now worth mentioning.
[Basic Agent Backpack]
An amazing 15 cubic meters of space, 1.5 times more spacious that the highest-grade backpack currently on sale in stores. Speed of opening in combat +20%, exchange price of 1000 credits and a D-Grade Authorization!
Other than the “Environment Simulation” Skill Chip, this was the second tool requiring Authorization which Feng Luo had bought.
Actually, he had initially wanted to get a Light Armored Warrior Rare skill, but he had then suddenly realized that his current backpack was a little small.
Even though his backpack was already the biggest backpack available in the System Store, it was still a little insufficient. It had been especially annoying during this “killing game.” If his backpack had been big enough, he would not have been forced to discard Rare equipment.
In the end, he had decided to buy a large-sized backpack.
As for the Warrior Rare Skill Chip, he could still purchase it through auctions and the Exchange, after all.
And if he couldn’t find the chips he wanted anywhere else, he could always wait until he had gotten Special Agent Points and Authorizations, then get what he needed through the Special Agent Encrypted Virtual Room.
“Now then, I need to consider the matter of a disguise identity… and also an agent codename!”
