“The rare attribute of this necklace is indeed high-quality!”
On the edge of a “cliff” with an over 10-meter drop, Feng Luo’s hand held an icy-feeling necklace with a miniature golden bullet hanging on it.
This Level-35 Rare necklace accessory was as Big Pineapple had said—practically “tailor-made” for him.
In the situation of hitting lethal damage, it’ll enhance the following shot by 20 percent damage!
To think of it, it was definitely Sniper players that it was most suited for! Because, out of all the professions, the one that was most likely to hit lethal damage was, undoubtedly, none other than the Sniper.
The destruction coefficient of the sniper rifle was at the forefront of the averages of all the other weapons, and, in addition to the powerful destruction of the special armor-piercing bullet, the chance of hitting lethal damage was much higher than that of the other professions.
Both the output methods of the Scout and the Sniper were mainly reliant on the damage by a high number of bullets to overwhelm the opponent. Although they could similarly cause lethal damage, the Scout could not unleash the maximum effect of the rare attribute of this necklace.
Of course, although the Sniper profession could unleash the maximum effect of this necklace, it was definitely also dependent on the user. In battle, typical snipers could probably hit lethal damage only two or three times. Plus, they might not be able to achieve high damage with an effect-enhanced bullet. That would result in wasting the effect of this necklace.
Only top snipers like Feng Luo, who could highly guarantee hitting lethal damage, could truly unleash the attribute of this necklace to its limit! Especially since his own “Lethal” talent was such that the damage would already be astonishingly high with a hit to a weak point or a critical attack. If added on to this 20-percent bonus damage enhancement… This was definitely a piece of equipment suited to him. It may have been the greatest return so far in this death game!
The only flaw was probably the low grade of this necklace—Level-35 equipment was a little low for his current grade. Plus, the rest of the attributes were quite normal, only adding some HP and debuff resistance, which were not of much use to HP and Snipers.
The “Perfect” evaluation may have been a little far-fetched, but no matter what, it was indeed a piece of high-quality Rare equipment! Especially since it was a Rare-grade accessory!
An accessory! This point alone was enough to make its price a few times higher than other equipment with equivalent attributes; putting it up for auction would definitely attract competition among a huge number of Sniper players.
Feng Luo was now already very sympathetic for the unfortunate player who had unlocked this equipment but had been eliminated by others. He probably would be cursing in the real world right now!
“Sh*t!”
“This brat didn’t escape on this nice, wide, flat plain but actually jumped down this cliff, making it so troublesome for me just to pick up equipment!”
At the moment, the people complaining were not only the player who had produced the quality necklace below Feng Luo’s position, but also Big Pineapple, who was “looting equipment” from the corpse of a Wind Manipulator who had just been finished off by two people.
Feng Luo holding Barrett shouted to Big Pineapple down below, “Stop complaining! If it wasn’t for you acting rashly and alerting the enemy, this brat wouldn’t have almost escaped! Hurry up and pick up the valuable stuff. We’ve already wasted a few minutes’ time. We’d better quickly change positions!”
At the same time, there were a few red dots moving on the semitransparent minimap at his side. It was already past 10:00 a.m. The third batch of 50 people who had been randomly selected to have their positions exposed was now undergoing the last position announcement.
On the map, the only three red dots were already fleeing in all directions.
And just 30 seconds after the announcement, one of the red dots vanished. Which meant that the lucky survivors of this round were only left with two people!
In just over 50 minutes, of the 50 people who’d had their positions exposed, only two people had survived!
Unlike the first batch, of which at least six or seven people had survived, this third batch only had two players who had “lived” to the end. This confirmed the fierceness of the methods of everyone “pack-hunting” the exposed targets!
Big Pineapple was really lucky; if he had been in this next batch, he might not have been able to live to the end. For players who had, up to this point, still not yet claimed anyone’s head, there was now only an hour left until the time limit. These people would be at the brink of madness.
All in order to live! Kill, kill, kill!
Even ignoring the difference in equipment ability and making use of all sorts of environmental ambushes, setting traps, luring monsters… These situations resulted in some people—who didn’t have very good equipment—to start to cooperate, ganging up to kill targets who had already widened the gap between equipment and skills.
Of course, there was no way these impromptu teams could enjoy any trust among themselves. Feng Luo did not doubt that they were all plotting in their minds ways to strike their teammates with a lethal attack before 12:00 noon and, as such, allow themselves to live.
However, this kind of cooperation still had an effect. Even Feng Luo’s duo had met with troubles once or twice, thus returning without accomplishment. There was even one time—during an unfortunate run-in with a team of seven or eight rebel beast warriors—when the duo had been forced to retreat, even though they had better equipment.
This kind of situation clearly signaled that the game ahead was likely to become even more difficult. Nonetheless, the issue of these people forming “teams” was actually not the biggest problem—the bigger problem was that, due to not having eaten or drunk from start until now, both of them were already feeling a little hungry and thirsty!
In the game, players did not need to strictly consume food in most situations—eating was more for the enjoyment of satisfying the taste buds. But in some special missions, players would have the same requirements as in reality, quickly feeling hunger and thirst as well as physical fatigue. Just like this “battle royale” game.
Starting from the middle of the night until now, almost noon, after such a long period of continuously chasing and battling—and furthermore, without supplies—the two had physically exerted much.
“Sh*t! All the food in my bag can’t be unlocked!” Big Pineapple complained as he worked hard to climb the cliff and pick up the prizes. “Such a huge island, yet there’s not even one edible wild fruit. The most ridiculous thing is that there’s not even water to drink. All the water on this island has light toxins. Once drunk by humans, they will cause weakness and even diarrhea…”
The last statement referred to an especially disheartening personal experience! Regardless of whether it was dew or seawater, once the water on this island was drunk, it would cause diarrhea and would affect combat power.
“Food, water… There’s no way at all to make these things on this island, so everyone should just hold off for three days on an empty stomach?”
Big Pineapple fiercely picked up a staff and looked at it with his face full of discomfort. “Hey, this is actually a Level-40 Rare piece of equipment, and its attributes are really not bad. It can fetch at least 150,000 or 160,000 credits at the Exchange. It’s even able to be put up for auction!”
Thereafter, there was once again a delightful spark in his eyes—just like when saw credits!
