Chapter 242: Equipment Produced Once More!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

For the professions in War, the possibility of a Sniper hiding in the shadows forever could not be neglected. This was an issue even for a Light Armor Warrior, which was technically the most effective at restricting a Sniper in close-combat!

In typical situations, if a Light Armor Warrior had just used a skill, one slash would be able to deal more than 2,000 damage! As for the Sniper profession, which boasted the strongest single attack in War, even a normal attack without the use of any skill could possibly reach 3,000 to 4,000 damage in one shot! As such, any player who had discovered that a Sniper in their surroundings had locked onto them would not be able to keep their composure! Moreover, this mission had “monetary potential” involving billions of credits.

This shot from Feng Luo did not hit a 3,000 to 4,000 explosive damage, as it did not completely break the defenses of Call Me A Master’s chest plate. After all, he was a Light Armor Warrior; unlike more vulnerable professions, it wasn’t so easy for the armor on his body to be pierced through by armor-piercing bullets.

However, with the Barrett having already reached a C-grade attack coefficient, this shot had already reduced the defenses of Call Me A Master’s armor by more than 90 percent at the place where it had been it, resulting in enhanced, yellow-colored weak-point damage!

“F*ck!”

Panic flashed across Call Me A Master’s face.

He—who had already engaged Charge—instantly turned tail and ran, but at that moment, Big Pineapple was already charging over from the position he had been forced back to, slashing Call Me A Master with a Warrior’s Level-15 basic Heavy Slash skill, returning the attack and, at the same time, intercepting the escaping Call Me A Master!

Forced to block the attack once again using his sword, Call Me A Master said in frustration, “There’s a Sniper around, and you’re still f*cking bugging me? Both of us are going to die!”

His HP had initially been reduced by more than half by Big Pineapple. Although he had found a chance during the battle to fish out a blood tonic and apply it on himself, after Feng Luo’s shot, he once again found himself in a situation where his HP had fallen below 25 percent. If the Sniper fired one more shot then, he would possibly be finished! How could he not be frustrated?

Call Me A Master didn’t consider the possibility that the Sniper and the wretched Light Armor Warrior before him were in it together. After all, even though this “death game” didn’t state that it restricted players from acting together, technically, anyone would have been highly guarded against others. For one thing, everyone here was in competition with everyone else. Plus, the army officer in the black uniform had said before that it was possible for surrounding players to suddenly be selected as “prey.” In that case, the first to kill you would likely be the “companions” around you! Therefore, he hadn’t remotely considered that Big Pineapple and the Sniper in the shadows were working together. He thought that the Sniper was a player or NPC who had followed his position and rushed over in preparation to kill him.

“What? There’s a Sniper?” Big Pineapple shouted, imitating a look of shock. “Oh, God! Where?”

But his hand did not halt its action, engaging the Warrior Level-40 Hurricane Rage Slash move, ferociously slashing his sword at Call Me A Master!

“F*ck...”

Call Me A Master didn’t react, assuming that Big Pineapple had wanted to use his own high defense to kill him and then escape or turn to face the Sniper. Thus, he cursed aloud and hurriedly engaged his Parry skill because its cooldown had completed. Once again, he used his alloy sword to block Big Pineapple’s starter move combo.

Ping!

Red lethal damage!

Just then, the two seconds of cooldown time had passed and the Barrett’s second high-caliber armor-piercing bullet had already burst forth from the muzzle, once again accurately hitting the chest plate region that had already been destroyed by more than 90 percent by the first bullet.

A bright red damage coefficient appeared. Although it seemed low, at only slightly more than 1,500, it had actually depleted all the remaining HP of Call Me A Master!

“Apologies, brother. Confidentially, I’ll tell you: That Sniper and I are in this together...” Big Pineapple said with a wretched expression. He put his alloy longsword between his arm and body as he watched the Light Armor Warrior before him, who already had a white light of death flashing across him.

The Light Armor Warrior slowly fell knee-first to the ground, bleeding from his chest. Seeing Big Pineapple’s wretched expression and hearing the truth pushed him over the edge in his last moments, and Call Me A Master could not help but curse!

“F*ck you guys—”

But before he could finish his sentence, he had been kicked out of the game due to his death.

You have killed a death game opponent. According to the opponent’s ability evaluation, killing points earned: 90!

At the moment of the Light Armor Warrior’s death, the reward message flashed in Feng Luo’s vision.

Reaping 90 killing points was a significant kill! It probably was because this Light Armor player had killed quite a lot of people, which was likely, judging by the full-body equipment he’d accumulated! If so...

Feng Luo looked at his own killing points. He now had more than 600 points—already two-fifths of the way to his goal of unlocking the Pet Space Bracer!

As for why it was Feng Luo who had reaped the killing points obtained from the kill of this battle, it was because the two had already discussed it before. If the target was a Warrior, Big Pineapple would try to yield, whereas if it had been a Sniper, then Feng Luo would have tried to yield. Through this distribution method, when one party earned killing points, the other party would be able to get whatever equipment he could use. Thus, neither party would lose out.

Of course, all this was as the situation allowed. If it was an emergency situation or if the battle needed to be quickly fought and won, there would be no yielding. In that case, Feng Luo would have been the main source of damage and would have directly claimed the enemy’s life! There was no choice in the matter. Feng Luo didn’t mean to take advantage of Big Pineapple in this way, but his output was a bit of a “knock-off” even with the Light Armor Warrior as his second profession.

“Yo! Just how many people has this guy slain to have so much equipment on him?” Big Pineapple exclaimed.

The prizes obtained from his kills—including those kept in his backpack—had been produced upon the death of Call Me A Master beside the mire. There was an entire eight or nine pieces of equipment of various professions, as well as some supplies on the ground, in addition to the armor, alloy shield, and other pieces of equipment that had to be taken off of his body... The return was quite a haul.

“Let’s hurry up and pick them up! Or someone might get envious.”

As he spoke, Feng Luo, who had been bending over, suddenly raised the Barrett in his hand up to a precise angle, violently turned the gun barrel toward a position in a forest a distance away, and fired a shot.

Ping!

An armor-piercing bullet entered a gap between the vegetation on the side of the slope and flew an entire 50-meter distance, hitting something inside a bush!

Within Feng Luo’s vision was a yellow-colored weak damage prompt. But even though it had hit, Feng Luo did not opt for a follow-up attack. Because the player who had seen the Light Armor Warrior’s position on the map and had sneakily run over and hid to the side to watch the battle was an Earth Manipulator.

After being hit by Feng Luo’s shot on his thigh—reducing his HP by two-thirds—he had covered himself with a khaki-colored Energy Forcefield with a wave of his staff. Then he hurriedly retreated back into the forest.

Seeing this, Feng Luo lost the desire to continue attacking. First, the shooting perspective of the opponent in the forest was very poor. Second, although the Earth Manipulator was also a vulnerable profession, its remarkably strong forcefield was sufficient to absorb a huge amount of damage.

Even if he had responded with another two shots, it might not have been enough to finish off the opponent. Thus, he did not pursue or attack.

“Yo, a good piece produced!” Big Pineapple, who was harvesting prizes from the Light Armor Warrior’s corpse, suddenly shouted with a face of surprise. “Old Feng, this time you really have it big. Most of the Warrior equipment on him isn’t even up to my attributes—there’s not even one piece of rare equipment. It’s nothing much. But it’s highly possible that he slew an Earth Manipulator player before. This thing is practically tailor-made for you!”
