Chapter 58: Bullets That Never Run Out
All the supplies that needed to be sold had been sold. Su Xiao tossed the [Sanctuary Gem] to Beini. After Beini checked the attributes of the [Sanctuary Gem], it decisively designated Su Xiao as the one it would protect.
Beini had been bullied while treasure hunting more than once or twice, but it never chose to rashly make enemies. When it couldn't eradicate the root of the problem, Beini chose to avoid it. As for asking Su Xiao for help, it had never done that. In its view, that would severely hinder the progress of the main mission.
But with the [Sanctuary Gem], the next time Beini was bullied, it would absolutely not choose to endure it. It had its temper too; it just didn't want to create enemies for the team. Either make no enemies, or kill them all cleanly.
Su Xiao pulled the bolt of the sniper cannon on the table, confirming that this sniper cannon had never been used.
[Metal · Tyrant]
Origin: Death Paradise · Seventh Rank War World
Quality: Holy Spirit Rank
Category: Heavy Sniper Cannon
Caliber: 14.22mm (Special Wind Scar Ammunition)
Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds
Durability: 170/170
Attack Power: 370 ~ 419
Equipment Requirements: True Strength 135 points, True Stamina 129 points, Gun Master Skill Lv.48 or above.
Equipment Effect 1, Metal Art (Passive): Due to the unique rifling structure, bullet flight speed increased by 600%, Armor Penetration +135 points, Penetration Power +60 points, Bullet Drop -2.8% (Due to Wind Scar Ammunition characteristics, almost no bullet drop within 2600 meters).
Equipment Effect 2, Charge (Active): This firearm can be charged. After charging is complete, the next shot's bullet power increases by 115%.
Tip: Charging consumes 700 points of Mana or other energy. 'Fission Energy Block' can be carried to charge this firearm. Due to the high temperature inside the gun barrel after charging, it needs 12 hours to cool down before recharging.
Tip: Forced charging will immediately consume 30 points of Durability.
Equipment Effect 3, Death Lock (Passive): This firearm is equipped with an 8~65x adaptive scope, adjustable manually/automatically. After aiming at a target for 2 seconds, it will perform a biological lock on the target, ignoring over 90% of obstacles, continuously providing the user with the target's location.
Tip: If the locked target is successfully shot and killed, this firearm will immediately enter a 'High Energy' state! By consuming the user's own Mana or other energy, it forms an 'Energy Wind Scar Bullet' and automatically loads it into the magazine. This continues until the user's Mana drops below 10%, ending the High Energy state.
Tip: During the High Energy state, the destructive power of 'Energy Wind Scar Bullets' increases by 80%, and after penetrating the enemy, it causes area explosive damage.
Rating: 1000 points (Holy Spirit Rank equipment rating is 700~1000 points)
Description: Leslie Montgomery's final work. People said he was crazy to create such a terrifying weapon. Interestingly, Leslie Montgomery died from this very gun.
Price: 630,000 Paradise Coins.
...
Seeing the name [Metal · Tyrant] and the name Leslie Montgomery, Su Xiao immediately thought that this was a weapon from the same series as [D · Assassinate].
The difference was that [Destroy · Assassinate] was Leslie's early work, while [Metal · Tyrant] was his final piece.
Leslie probably had many other works, and [M · Tyrant] was the pinnacle. It had no flashy abilities but focused entirely on bullet flight speed, bullet power, and target locking.
As long as the target was aimed at for over 2 seconds, no matter how they fled, they would be locked, unless they escaped [M · Tyrant]'s range. Even more astonishing was that once the killing started, as long as Su Xiao had enough Mana, he never had to worry about running out of bullets. He could bombard the enemy until they doubted their existence. And Su Xiao had 12,176 points of Mana...
As the fight went on, the enemy would feel like they were being bombarded by an entire platoon's firepower, when in reality, it was just one person, one gun.
[M · Tyrant] excelled in every aspect. The only drawback was that the bullets were too expensive. One shot cost 80,000 Paradise Coins. Just filling its magazine cost 400,000 Paradise Coins.
However, Su Xiao planned to only load one bullet into the magazine. He would fire it and see what happened. That is, if it could even be fired off.
Putting away [M · Tyrant], Su Xiao left the cold drink shop. Over ten minutes later, he returned to his Exclusive Room. Bubu Wang was lying on the carpet, sleeping soundly.
Su Xiao had obtained 19 Diamond Honor Medals in the Abyss World. Adding the one he had left, he had exactly 20. He walked to the Honor Shop to check if the items inside had been updated.
[Welcome, Hunter, to the Honor Shop.]
[Diamond Honor Medals Held: 20]
[Honor Recovery Potion (Sixth Rank)]
Effect: Instantly restores 100% Health and 100% Mana after use, and rapidly heals physical injuries, such as severe organ damage, partial brain tissue damage, severe penetrating wounds, etc.
Price: 3 Diamond Honor Medals
Stock: 1
...
[Bloodthirsty Maniacal Laughter (Overlord Rank Equipment)]
Category: Battle Growth Type, initial rating 730 points, can grow up to ??? rating (This is a rare characteristic).
Price: 109 Diamond Honor Medals.
Stock: 1 (Unique)
...
[Honor Enhancement Potion (Sixth Rank)]
Effect: After drinking, permanently increases True Strength by 2 points, True Stamina by 2 points, and increases Reincarnation Brand Level by +1.
Price: 17 Diamond Honor Medals
Stock: 1
...
There were only three items in the Honor Shop. [Bloodthirsty Maniacal Laughter] was still there. It seemed that in subsequent Honor Shop updates, it wouldn't be refreshed away, giving Su Xiao time to accumulate Diamond Honor Medals.
But the [Honor Enhancement Potion (Sixth Rank)] made it impossible for Su Xiao to save his Paradise Coins. This thing directly boosted Strength and Stamina attributes. How could he miss out on such a good item?
The only downside was that after using it, Su Xiao's Reincarnation Brand Level would increase from Lv.58 to Lv.59. There were gains and losses.
Su Xiao increased his level by 3~4 each World Progress. Lv.58 and Lv.59 were basically the same. After one World Settlement, it would get stuck at Lv.60, reaching the prerequisite for rank promotion.
[You have obtained Honor Enhancement Potion (Sixth Rank).]
A crystal vial appeared in Su Xiao's hand. He opened it and drank it directly. There was no strange taste, just a slight coolness in his chest after drinking.
[Tip: Your Reincarnation Brand Level has reached Lv.59.]
The enhancement time for the Honor Enhancement Potion was slow, requiring 1~2 days to fully take effect.
The increase in Reincarnation Brand Level reminded Su Xiao of something: he could upgrade his Adventure Group's rank from S-Rank to SS-Rank.
Adventure Group Name: Dawn
Adventure Group Rank: S-Rank
Leader: Su Xiao
Vice Leaders: Bubuteni, Amu
Core Members: Baha, Beini
Adventure Group Mode: Solo (Cannot recruit external members).
Team Space: Available
Team Skill 1: Glory Prologue (Passive Lv.30), when settling rewards in Derivative Worlds, overall evaluation increases by 1 level (Cannot raise overall evaluation to S+).
Team Skill 2: Elite Team (Passive Lv.30), before entering a Derivative World, can add one additional optional Derivative World.
...
Seeing these two team skills, Su Xiao had mixed feelings. Calling them trash would be unfair; for an ordinary team, these were god-tier skills.
But calling them god-tier was also off, because Su Xiao couldn't use these Adventure Group skills at all. Derivative Worlds, those wonderful places for making money, were places Su Xiao hadn't visited in a long time. He was either going to War Worlds, invading other Paradises, dealing with Ancient Gods, or destroying the Space-Time Hub devices of other Paradises.
Once upon a time, how rare were the old schemers in Derivative Worlds? Even plot characters like Aizen could be outmaneuvered by Su Xiao because he could understand those plot characters before entering the Derivative World.
Now look at Primordial Worlds: Old Lion, Harold, Sphinx. Any one of them, placed in a Derivative World, who knows what would happen? Even more terrifying was that these three had no bottom line. They could sacrifice everything, including themselves, to achieve their ambitions.
Su Xiao prepared to upgrade his Adventure Group rank and try to obtain other team skills, as team skills were very special.
[You have used the Adventure Group Rank Promotion Certificate.]
[Dawn Adventure Group has been upgraded to: SS-Rank.]
[Detected that the Hunter has not triggered Team Skill effects for multiple World Progresses. The Hunter can choose from the following Team Skills to replace the existing ones.]
[Random Team Skill Drawing in progress...]
