Fatal Shot

Consecutively attacked twice at the critical points, even the rebel beast warrior who had been mixed with monster genes clearly could not endure!

After Feng Luo, with a twist of his body, heavily drew back his Mad Dog military knife with a splatter of blood, the throat of the beast warrior only produced a hoarse sound. He scrambled a few steps forward on the sand, and before he died, he turned his head to look at Feng Luo standing behind him, his pair of green, glowing eyes full of hate!

With his throat entirely cut by the sharp military knife and his mouth spilling large amounts of blood profusely, he fell onto the sand on his bare, hairy upper body, taking away every last bit of energy in him.

Plop!

The beast warrior’s body, lying on its back on the beach, created a dent in the wet sand.

The force of Feng Luo’s first surprise strike had been absorbed by that dense hair on his neck and hadn’t really cut into the critical point. As such, it had only caused low, yellow-colored damage! But the second slash had caused more than 3,000 points of red-colored lethal damage!

With both slashes, despite this beast warrior already having more than 5,000 HP in an equipment-naked state, he nonetheless could not withstand two of Feng Luo’s “Lethal” talent-enhanced attacks.

Besides, Feng Luo was now in a state whereby he had switched to the Scout profession, and he had extremely high damage enhancements to the profession’s specializations in military knives, military stilettos, and related weapons.

Even in a situation without other weapons, the damage done from just a stab using a military knife would not be low at all!

This beast warrior had already had his HP depleted, having been slashed twice by Feng Luo, and his gushing blood was what had snatched away his last bit of life force! Although his green, glowing eyes looked horrifying, malicious eyes would not be able to kill anyone!

10 seconds later, the body of the rebel beast warrior that had fallen onto the ground and lost excessive blood had stopped convulsing!

Killed the Rebel Beast Warrior (Level 45, Elite). Kill Contribution: 100%. Experience Earned: 450. Killing Points Awarded: 1.

You have killed a death game opponent. According to the opponent’s strength evaluation, killing points earned: 50!

Two consecutive system messages flashed in Feng Luo’s vision.

“Indeed...”

A look of confirmation appeared in Feng Luo’s eyes. This first “prey” had already provided him with 50 killing points instead of 20. It was very obvious that it was indeed as he had guessed—the number of points awarded was influenced by the strength of the opponent. But his first encounter with an Elite model of the rebel beast warrior—which was at Level 45 —had been quite unexpected.

It was known that the rebel soldiers’ original AI was a lot stronger than that of typical non-humanoid monsters and would use various weapons, equipment, and even skills. In addition to having beastified genes, the Elite-grade rebel warrior, come to think of it, was a lot stronger than even equal-level Elite players!

If the rebel soldiers of this killing game were all of such an Elite model, it would be possible that the threat would be greater than that of players fearless of death. The difficulty of this game was greater than he had anticipated!

“Luckily, this rebel Heavy Armor Warrior looked the same as other players—they, too, only have two pieces of default equipment on them at the start. Otherwise, even a surprise attack might not have been able to take him down!”

Feng Luo looked at the corpse of the rebellion’s Heavy Armor Warrior on the ground, realizing that other than the alloy shield, there was no other visible equipment on him at all. Most noteworthy was that there was no defense armor on him. This was also the reason why he had been able to finish off this beastified warrior with just two slashes.

It was essential to know that the importance of alloy armor to the Warrior profession was actually, in certain aspects, more meaningful than that of other weapons.

“But it seems like this shield can be directly picked up and kept in my backpack!”

Feng Luo struggled slightly to pick up the alloy shield that the rebel beast warrior had dropped on the sand, after which realized that he could indeed see the attributes of the shield.

FA-45 model Alloy Shield

Grade: Excellent

Basic Damage Reduction 45%

Defense +115

Defense Coefficient: C

Bonus Full Attribute Energy Resistance +9%

Physique +10

Level Required: 45

Overall Evaluation: Perfect

“It actually is a Perfect, Excellent-grade shield. With such attributes, it’s probably worth at least above 15,000 credits at the Exchange!”

There was surprise in Feng Luo’s eyes as he looked at the attributes of the alloy shield in his hands. It was actually a Level-45 Excellent piece of equipment that this rebel beast warrior had produced.

It should be known that logically, the rate of Fine-grade equipment resulting from killing an Elite-grade monster was not even 50 percent, let alone Excellent-grade equipment

—although not completely impossible, the rate was really low!

“Is this my good luck?”

Feng Luo’s forehead creased.

“Hmm. Wait... It looks like this thing is different from the stuff normally gained by killing monsters. It doesn’t have the faint white glow.”

Feng Luo noticed a strange point all of a sudden. The items gained after killing monsters would glow with a faint white light in most players’ eyes. This shield did not appear like that.

“But technically, as long as the attributes can be seen, players should be able to use it, right? Which means that this shield must be a trophy.”

Feng Luo realized that this situation was contradictory to what he had encountered before.

“Hmm, could it be...?”

Feng Luo suddenly thought of a possibility. After which, he shifted his sights to the rebel beast warrior’s corpse on the sand.

From top to bottom, carefully studying the corpse of this rebel beast warrior, Feng Luo once again found a piece of equipment that had visible attributes. On the neck of this fellow, within the thick hair, was a metallic necklace supporting a silvery-gray pendant. He had not noticed it before, as it was concealed by blood-stained hair.

Bone Necklace (Accessory)

Grade: Fine

HP +300

Physique +5

Strength +10

Required Equipment Level: 45

Overall Evaluation: Excellent

“A piece of equipment. More so, an accessory!” The surprise in Feng Luo’s eyes intensified, then turned to relief. “Seeing this, it is indeed as I’d guessed.”

Feng Luo had understood that this mission clearly used the same rules for rebel soldiers as for players, but upon the death of rebel soldiers, all of the “unlocked” items would be released. This rebel beast warrior had attribute-enhancing equipment items on him by default—which were clearly the Excellent shield and this Fine-grade necklace. Hence, after Feng Luo killed him, all these could be collected and used straight away.

“As such, the rewards for killing a competitive opponent appear to be much more generous than what I had initially anticipated!”

Excitement appeared in Feng Luo’s eyes. It was understood that the worth of a Fine-grade necklace at the Exchange was no less than that of high-grade “Fine” main weapons. Furthermore, since one was very difficult to obtain, it would be sold in a second as long as the price was not too unreasonable.

The necklace on Feng Luo now was only a Level-35 Fine-grade main agility-enhancement necklace, but nonetheless, it had needed to be snatched at a high price. Although the main attributes enhanced by this Level-45 “Bone Necklace” were physique and strength, it was more suitable for the Warrior. But with such “equipment-naked” attributes now, it was also very useful to the Scout second profession. Because, if the +10 strength from this necklace was added together with the +15 percent strength from the Mad Dog military knife, his strength would be an entire 25 points higher!

Adding on the enhanced strength attribute from the evolved talent and the Enhancement Potion... He had already experienced the powerful effect of the basic attribute of strength in close combat! More importantly, just one rebel soldier had produced such abundant trophies, equivalent in worth to two pieces of high-grade Excellent equipment!

Well, then, if one lived until the end of this mission, what kind of equipment would be accumulated on one person?

Feng Luo could already imagine that the person in this hunting game who could live until the end would probably not only have his person already filled with high-grade equipment, but also have his backpack stuffed with Fine equipment! Plus, those energy crystals and energy crystal cores from Yamamoto Ichiro were worth billions of credits!

The person who lived to the end of this round of death could definitely get rich overnight.

“But the volume and weight of the anti-gravity space backpack are kind of a big problem.”

Feng Luo looked at the backpack in his hand, which now exceeded 85 percent in volume and weight used after the alloy shield was put in. The shield of a Heavy Armor Warrior was the same as a heavy machine gun-both greatly took up the volume and weight of the bag

pack!

“Sigh... If I had known this earlier, I would’ve thrown away all the things in this backpack and only brought some necessities.”

Feng Luo was a little regretful.

“But it’s still nothing much. At most, I can just discard this shield once I meet better trophies. I can even spend some killing points and discard some of the worthless things that take up space! I’d better continue ‘hunting’ now!”

Feng Luo reached up to press the button on the collar on his neck, and the semitransparent virtual map once again appeared before his eyes!

This time, in the lighted regions of the map, two black dots appeared!
