Fatal Shot Chapter 404

After the Apache in the game had slayed a Level 45 Commander-Grade flying monster attempting to provoke, it continued to send Feng Luo towards the gathering destination.

In reality outside the game.

In a sky floating luxurious villa above an endless sea, connected by a transparent lift stretching straight from the depths of the sea to 200 meters in the air.

The beautiful and alluring Capital Planet woman who had finally taken her sunglasses off revealed an indifferent expression on her face, as she was sitting on the sofa and swiftly browsed through the floating screen before her.

The contents on the screen would be familiar to any War player, the players' forum.

“Cousin Luo Shui, you're satisfied with the environment of this house, right?”

A “Xiao Shao” Xiao Chen who was impeccable in both dressing and etiquette was smiling as he stood holding a glass of red wine with a tall leg.

Outside the automatically-adjustable transparency wall behind him, groups of greyish-white seagulls flew past, against the background of a blue sky with white clouds, natural scenery was undeniably much more gorgeous than the ones made by the environmental simulation system.

“Mm, not bad, Cousin Chen, you've worked hard.” The woman referred to as Luo Shui raised her head and nodded slightly, but her sight was still on the screen.

“Glad that you're satisfied, I was initially worried that you would feel that it is too simple here, now that you've said this, your cousin is relieved.” Knowing that Luo Shui's reply was clearly not very sincere, Xiao Shao, as a Wind Manipulator in the game, maintained the smile on his face, not showing any unhappiness.

Although they were both of the Xiao family, there was a marriage within the family in the previous generation, he was addressed by this woman as older cousin. However, their positions in the Xiao family were of an extremely huge gap.

Thus, Xiao Shao who could effortlessly give out 20,000,000 Star Coins just to buy a spot in the Hidden Profession in the game could not display any prowess in front of this cousin of his.

“Mm, Cousin Luo Shui, I've heard that War on your Capital Planet is a lot different from ours.” But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen quickly found a topic that would definitely interest this cousin.

Xiao Luo Shui raised her head.

“Mm, that's right. War on our planet is certainly quite different from the one on your Administrative Planet, in aspects like the background, equipment, player professions, et cetera. But it's not just the two planets of ours; actually, the background of War on every planet is extremely different in some aspects, for instance, the War world in our planet has no pets.” Xiao Luo Shui's big eyes looked towards him.

“No pets? No way. Cousin Luo Shui, the pet system on War in your Capital Planet hasn't been open even up till now?” Xiao Chen's face was filled with shock.

He had actually known long before about the fact that there would be a bit of difference between different planets War from information received from the people from the respective planets, he brought it up just now just to introduce the topic.

But pets, known as something most commonly seen, logically should be present in every game.

“No, you didn't really understand what I meant. In the background of War on the Capital Planet, there is no rebellion camp, and no huge quantity of Chips for controlling creatures either, so naturally, there would be no pets, at least there wasn't before I left.” Said Xiao Luo Shui.

In the Galactic Era, the time gap between some people was rather more far-fetched than in the Planet Era. Between the Capital Planet and the 17th Administrative Planet, even if galactic airships were able to continuously travel through spaces, they would still need close to two months of time to be able to reach the destination. Thus, what Xiao Luo Shui knew was only the situation in the version of the Capital Planet War a little more than two months ago.

“But before I boarded the airship, the system was undergoing the first update, and the officials announced a new type of microorganism called the Life Protozoa, it's similar to the pets in your game here.” Xiao Luo Shui added.

“Life Protozoa?” This name was foreign to Xiao Chen.

It was a coincidence that when Xiao Luo Shui boarded the airship, the Capital Planet War was updated for the first time, information like this update would not have been posted onto the “Outer Space Section” of the 17th Administrative Planet forum, naturally, it would not have been possible for him to know.

“Mm, Life Protozoa, a type of microorganism able to enter the human body, and can allow the role to get enhancements of HP, MP, defense, strength, intelligence and other Symbiotic Stats.” Xiao Luo Shui added.

“Attribute enhancement, just like the permanent Virus Enhancement Potion?” Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, his hand unintentionally gripping tighter onto the wineglass.

This was even more awesome than pets. If he had this, he would not have needed to spend so many credits previously to auction for a set of W-Virus Permanent Enhancement Potion.

“No, the two are very different. Permanent Virus Enhancement Potions are not considered rare on our planet, as our game background had previously also had a situation similar to your Biohazard Crisis before, therefore there are many Virus Enhancement Potions in some of the ruins regions. Of course, there are only Basic Enhancement Potions, I've never heard of Intermediate Permanent Enhancement Potion, at least when I left, perhaps there would already be now.”

Said Xiao Luo Shui, she shook her head and then spoke once more.

“The Symbiotic Stats that the Life Protozoa enhance are different from the permanent attributes enhanced by the Enhancement Potion. Symbiotic Stats are actually essentially Life Protozoa attributes, so the player would only be able to obtain full-stat enhancement when the population of the Life Protozoa species reaches 100%. Whereas in the process of combat, the population of the Life Protozoa species within a player's body would be decreased every time an injury is sustained, hence if the player continuously sustains injuries, this enhancement would constantly be reduced. If players die in combat, the Life Protozoa would also die or disappear.”

“Dying and disappearing, sounds like they are different?” Xiao Chen seeing that he had finally made this cousin of his talk, he continued to express an interest in the Life Protozoa, even though this was a foreign matter, not in any relation to the War of the 17th Administrative Planet.

“The relationship between Life Protozoa and players is categorized into two types, parasitic and symbiotic. A species of Life Protozoa needs to be parasitic within a player's body for a period of time before it will be changed into a symbiotic state, then provide attribute enhancement. Throughout this process, if the player dies, it would leave the player and it would be said to disappear. Whereas when the state has become symbiotic, the Life Protozoa would not disappear even after the player dies, but would die; to revive it, one must spend quite a lot of credits.” Xiao Luo Shui seemed really interested in introducing the special trait on her own planet, and did not continue looking at the forum.

“No wonder, it seems very similar to the pets in War on our planet, just that it is unlike how we would be punished for the death of pets by the reduction Loyalty Points.” Xiao Chen said, laughing.

“Although Loyalty wouldn't be reduced, we do have punishment for death too.” Xiao Luo Shui shook her head. “After revival, the population of the Life Protozoa species would only be 0.1%; in such a situation, for revival to 100%, quite a few days of time is needed, since the smaller the species population, the slower the reproduction. Unless one has extremely good luck and the Life Protozoa had awakened talent skills like 'Soul Draw' would one be able to more quickly regain the population. However, only Life Protozoa which species Level had reached Level 50 plus is of Elite Grade and above would there be a chance for talent skills to be awakened.”
