Fatal Shot Chapter 264

“What the f*ck? My shield! Why is it spoiled again?”

Big Pineapple reached out a hand to the soil piled up by the force of the explosion picked up the Alloy Shield which had been completely blackened by the explosion. Seeing this, his dirty and gray face revealed a painful expression.

“Luckily, the destruction level should be below 30%. How's your injury?” Feng Luo had already run over to him. He looked at the shield and discovered that the destruction was not that serious.

Actually being able to sustain such a level of destruction in such an explosion was enough to show how powerful the defense coefficient of this shield was – no wonder it Big Pineapple always kept it up his sleeve!

Big Pineapple had been “swallowed” by the Energy mass, and it was more serious than the previous time. Even though NPC attacks on players were unlikely to cause a disability effect, it was not impossible. If a player was disabled by such a situation, it would be very hard to settle.

“Luckily, the shield took the brunt of the blast, so I wasn't hit head on. My body is fine. With the recovery by the Stone Lizard ring for the 600 HP left previously, I've already made it past the “heavily injured” state.”

Big Pineapple had checked his shield too and discovered that it was not the kind of unfixable destruction. He was relieved.

“Was it over 600 points? Like this, the damage done to you by this explosion is almost the damage coefficient previously, even less!” Feng Luo said curiously.

Logically speaking, Big Pineapple was closer this time, was unable to jump away or hide behind a rock to avoid the damage. Also, his defense move was still in cooldown. Why was it that it was almost no different from the damage received from the previous explosion?

“Right, almost…I'm curious too, logically, I should've been very likely to be finished this time. Why was it rather even less?” Big Pineapple shook his head, with a confused expression.

“Could it be to do with your shield? Feng Luo asked.

“It's not likely. Although it's better this time for my shield: the one before was a little stronger. Due to not having “Unmovable Mountain” engaged, the damage reduction wasn't like the previous time. This is definitely the explosion having a weaker power. How strange! Why is it like that?” Big Pineapple was not very sharp in analyzing combat coefficients.

“Hm, forget it. Let's not worry too much about this. There's nothing much we can do anyway.”

“Mm, with Big Brother's defense, even if he used a suicide attack it'd be futile!” Big Pineapple laughed slyly.

Feng Luo looked apologetic. “This time it's me who wasn't thoughtful enough. I never expected that this T-750 actually would have self-destructed even with its Control Chip destroyed.”

Even though Big Pineapple was still being loud, Feng Luo knew that Big Pineapple was being deliberately so to a certain extent. After all, with all 15,000 HP gone, the 600 left was actually extremely fortunate! The intention of Big Pineapple's expression and words were to relieve him of any burden.

“Old Feng, you're wrong. Just now it was me who wasn't aware of the danger. I got too close to that guy, I should've only let my guard down after you had received the notification from the system,” Big Pineapple said rather remorsefully, having no dissatisfaction with Feng Luo's arrangement.

“It's me who wasn't thoughtful enough…”

“My carelessness…”

“It was me…”

The two each shared their thoughts, then looked at each other and smiled, ending it there.

“Alright, let's not discuss this matter any further!”

“Old Feng, that Hunter just now should be yours to count. You should already have 1500 points. What on earth is the good stuff you want to unlock, hurry up and let me see!” Big Pineapple smiled, showing enthusiasm in his eyes.

“Hm, I'll keep the prizes first and tell you more once we've changed position!”

Feng Luo had not had the intention of keeping Big Pineapple in the dark in the first place, but the place they were now in had seen too much activity through T-750's explosion. It would perhaps attract some people, so it was time to leave.

Big Pineapple's condition was not too good, so it would be better to be more careful.

As for the prizes, the most important was referring to the Fire Manipulator sniped by him earlier.

Because the body of this T-750 had already been ripped by the force of the explosion by its own Energy Core, then buried in the pile of soil, it would be troublesome to get it out. Digging it out actually would not be of much use since the only “Core Control Chip” which could be seen as a prize had already been destroyed by Feng Luo's second shot.

Hence, what the two needed to do was only to take the prizes with value dropped by “Flaming Blazing Flames” who had been sniped by Feng Luo, and then they could leave.

“The item I want to unlock is this!” Half a minute later, in the deserted forest, Feng Luo showed his Pet Bracer to Big Pineapple.

“This is the Pet Bracer!” Big Pineapple's eyes lit up. Although he had not had a pet, almost everyone in “War” recognized the appearance of the Pet Bracer.

“So it's like that. Old Feng, you're spending such a high price to unlock it, so it definitely isn't a normal pet inside. It must be an Elite-Grade pet!” Big Pineapple was shocked by the realization.

“Nope!” Feng Luo shook his head, his eyes smiling. He had already requested to unlock the Pet Bracer in the system.

“F*ck, Old Feng, you've actually gotten an Commander-Grade pet. You're too envied and hated.” Big Pineapple's eyes had already widened.

“Nope as well…” While saying this, Feng Luo was a little embarrassed, because even though he was not deliberately showing-off, these words made it sound as though he was.

But with the performance and ability that 24K was about to showcase, even if the answer was a “Commander-Grade” pet, Big Pineapple probably would also be in awe.

After all, “Unify” (Commander-Grade Gatherer Beetle No.1, 24K's little brother) was already a Commander-Grade creature, let alone having all sorts of powerful beetle little brothers. The value of 24K was definitely unmatchable by Commander-Grades.

You have unlocked Pet Bracer.

This item is a special equipment.

Killing points spent: 1500 points.

Just then, the system prompt had already sounded, indicating that the Pet Space which had already been confined for almost a day was finally able to be used.

“What the f*ck, big brother…awesome, you're awesome!” Big Pineapple was already completely dumbfounded.

Not even Commander-Grade. So was it a quasi-BOSS? Or a BOSS!

Regardless of which it was, once emerged it would be enough to stir up a storm among the players.

After all, up till now, the strongest pets that had emerged were all of Commander-Grade. The reason why Big Pineapple had never gotten a pet was that he wanted to get a Pet Chip which could fuse into the body of a Commander-Grade creature. He had not thought that Feng Luo, whose level was previously much lower than his now, actually already had a “BOSS” Grade pet!

“Should be a BOSS, if it's a BOSS…my heart probably wouldn't be able to take it!” Big Pineapple felt that his heart was a little painful, thinking that while he was still waiting for a Commander-Grade pet, someone had actually already gotten a quasi-BOSS-Grade pet!

It must be known that he had personally done pet missions before and knew that the difficulty of getting a high-grade pet. It was practically hopeless!

“Engage!” Feng Luo had already pressed the button on the unlocked Pet Bracer and let out 24K.

The space that appeared before him quivered slightly and with a flash of white light, a gold-sparkling 24K appeared and was like its usual self, first directly falling into Feng Luo's receiving palms.

After which, a delightful cheer sounded through the Mental Link, then it moved its six golden limbs, grabbing onto Feng Luo's combat singlet as it climbed up towards his shoulder.

“Er!”

“Old Feng…that, I'm not seeing it wrong, this is your…pet?”

Big Pineapple had been full of envy and jealousy. Suddenly, there was a strange expression on his face when he looked at 24K, who was the size of a fist, climbing up towards Feng Luo's shoulder with an adorable look.

Even though the ability of the pets in “War” typically speaking were not proportionate to their body size, at least in typical situations, the combat power of creatures with a big body size would normally be a little stronger. This was not just true for the close-combat physical attack-type monsters but was similarly of a certain logic for Energy-based monsters.

With a larger body size, more overall Energy would naturally be storable in the body, and the skill range and power would also be stronger than normal.

Although this was not absolute, most small-sized insect creatures like 24K belonged to those group-type creatures with only a grade but incomparable ability to those solo-type creatures of the same grade!

“Old Feng, why does this pet of yours look so much like a beetle? Its selling point is rather decent, gold and shin. Tell me it's a viewing-assisting-type pet!”

At that moment, Big Pineapple's face already had a bit of wretched mockery, pointing at 24K, which had climbed on Feng Luo's shoulder and laid down on its belly.

Feng Luo took out a semi-transparent Energy Crystal from his backpack and threw it to 24K on his shoulder. These Energy Crystals were exploded from those players of Manipulator professions or from NPCs, not requiring any additional spending of points for unlocking.

24K had its claws spread out at Big Pineapple, displaying its dissatisfaction and threat towards his doubting words. But it was quickly attracted by the Energy Crystal that had been thrown over by Feng Luo and hugged the crystal radiating a lustrous glow tight, noisily and delightfully chomping on it!

“Tsk, tsk, this little fellow's AI is so high, it could actually understand human language. But Old Feng, a silver crystal is worth 1000 credits, and you just fed it directly to it?”

Big Pineapple was pretty shocked at 24K's reaction; after all, typically speaking, the AI of such insect type pets was very low, so it was very difficult to have mutual understanding with players in combat.

This was also the reason why he had thought that Feng Luo had only gotten a viewing-assisting-type pet just now. Of course, he also had the intention to tease; after all, 24K with its size only about a fist, its appearance was like a piece of artwork carved in gold – it was really hard to make people feel how off-the-charts its combat power was.

“I have no choice. This is ultimately set by the system. High-grade pets have more troublesome rearing conditions.” Feng Luo looked at 24K's clear message of hatred towards Big Pineapple through the Mental Link and smiled.

He had so generously taken out a silver crystal for 24K was because he had not let 24K out to get some fresh air for so long, so he had to spoil this little fellow a little, to avoid decline of the Intimacy Level.

On the other hand, it was actually also because the lousiest in his backpack now was only this D-Grade Energy Crystal (silver crystal) worth 1000 credits.

In order to attach the two Rare equipment among the prizes left by the Fire Manipulator just now, he had disposed of some excellent equipment with extremely decent attributes and worth at least five or six thousand credits.

As for the grey crystals and white crystals worth not more than 10 and 100 points, he had disposed of them long ago. Even though this had wasted some of his killing points, it was luckily not much.
