Chapter 370 - Watermelon Skin’s “S”-Grade Talent!
Chapter 370: Watermelon Skin’s “S”-Grade Talent!
“Boom!”
After the system’s kill message had appeared, the Giant Octopus quasi-BOSS, which initially already had half of its body out of the main hotel building, quickly lost all its energy and fell on top of the sky linkway. Even its eight newly regenerated giant suction cup-filled tentacles had only wiggled a little before slowly sagging down!
On top of its huge, moist body, a pile of white shining objects appeared – it was clearly the prizes most awaited by the players!
“Is it dead?”
“It’s dead!”
But the faces of the players on the platform were not all the same.
Skynet, Ultimate Heavy Armor and the casual Fire Manipulator player were completely stunned, with an expression of disbelief!
After all, it was only a quasi-BOSS!
Logically speaking, at least over 50 players of the same Level would be needed to be able to defeat a quasi-BOSS-Grade monster. It had actually been defeated just like that by just a team of four long-range output Snipers?
My World, Azure and Ultimate Heavy Armor did not look towards the Giant Octopus but turned straight to Watermelon Skin who had just fired!
Feng Luo similarly looked towards Watermelon Skin in shock.
It was a shot of more than 30,000 damage, furthermore on a Level 45 quasi-BOSS!
The defense of the Giant Octopus was not high, but calculating the attack coefficient with Watermelon Skin using Barrett and an Energy armor-piercing bullet, Feng Luo could tell in an instant that the damage caused by that bullet was 10 times that of what Watermelon Skin originally should have caused!
A 10-time golden critical attack!
The chance of critical attacks in War was way too low, let alone this highest-enhanced “10-time critical attack”!
The random chance of “Luck” in the hidden attributes must have been very high for this situation to arise?
But it was clear that Watermelon Skin did not depend on “Luck”, because he had said it before that he was able to fire a shot with great additional damage, though it would possibly damage Barrett slightly!
As for whether Barrett would be damaged, Feng Luo was not very concerned.
After all, Barrett was most of the time not a spare to be put in the inventory, and slight damage was not “completely damaged”. As a firearms expert, he was absolutely able to repair it on his own!
What he was more concerned about was the source of Watermelon Skin’s 10-time damage in one shot – was it a special Talent or a Rare skill?
“Big Brother Feng, Barrett is still good, only the barrel is a bit damaged!”
Watermelon Skin stood rooted to the spot after firing the shot and smiled at Feng Luo who had turned to look at him, after which, a bright white light suddenly flashed across him!
[“Team member “Watermelon Skin” has been disqualified from the team!”]
“What’s this? Why did he suddenly die?”
Skynet saw the system prompt flashing across his vision, finally returning his gaze from the Giant Octopus and watching Watermelon Skin’s fallen body in shock.
“This is the price of using his Talent!”
My World’s face was a little grave as he placed Watermelon Skin down on the platform ground from his arms.
“Watermelon Skin’s Talent requires active usage, it’s able to cause 10 times the damage when the target’ critical point is hit, effective on both players and BOSS. But the price is that he would die and lose a Level, and his weapon would have a definite chance of being damaged!”
“But the higher the weapon Grade, the smaller the rate of damage. Brother Feng, this Python of Death of yours is a Rare weapon, the damage wouldn’t be too large. Once Watermelon Skin is revived, we’ll return the Python of Death to you immediately!”
My World stood up and looked towards Feng Luo, his eyes a little troubled and worried.
Perhaps he was worried that Feng Luo would feel unsatisfied – after all, the market price of Barrett was certainly pretty high, pricier than all the equipment on them!
“No problem!”
Since Feng Luo was able to lend the equipment to Watermelon Skin, he was naturally not too bothered about this situation.
Rather, it was this shot by Watermelon Skin who had sacrificed one Level worth of XP which had really helped everyone out, to prevent everyone from being wiped out and to save the three NPCs.
Otherwise, he would really have had no solution this time!
“What Grade is Watermelon Skin’s Talent, A-Grade or is it an S?”
Skynet who was similarly a Sniper had quickly become interested in Watermelon Skin’s Talent!
“It’s a D-Grade Talent!”
My World shook his head, saying something completely out of Skynet’s expectation.
“A D-Grade Talent!”
Skynet froze once more.
He had initially thought that such a Talent capable of causing a 10-time critical attack should have at least been an A-Grade Talent!
But considering the serious negative side-effects of this Talent, he had understood. This Talent was indeed awesome, but its price was too high – simply making players not dare to use it at all.
However, the attributes of Talents in <War> were undoubtedly determined by the system and the player’s performance in the game for a specific period of time – they could also be deleted if unsatisfactory.
Therefore, even if one complained about unfairness, one would not be able to find a fit either!
“This Talent is actually pretty good to a Sniper!”
Even though this Talent of Watermelon Skin’s was evaluated D-Grade by the system, Feng Luo felt that it was actually highly practical.
With a 10-time lethal damage, any player would be able to be killed with just a hit to the critical point – even if the equipment was inferior by one or two levels, the kill would still be possible.
It must be known, even with Feng Luo’s own equipment, it could not be said that he could reach 100% “a fatal shot”!
Whereas when Watermelon Skin’s Talent had hit a lethal damage, it would truly be able to be the Sniper’s best.
Though the price was indeed a bit huge – the Sniper would have to exchange his life for another!
“Well then, for the equipment produced from the quasi-BOSS…how do we split?”
Just as everyone was discussing about Watermelon Skin, the casual Manipulator player finally could not help but voice out a reminder in an anxious tone.
He had to be anxious – it must be known that this octopus Commander was a quasi-BOSS!
It had just Advanced and did not even have the time to unleash its quasi-BOSS power before it had been slayed by the two bullets of Watermelon Skin and Feng Luo at the same time!
Even when it was a quasi-BOSS which had just Advanced, the prizes produced would definitely be better than those of Normal Commanders, right?
Not to mention that although this Giant Octopus did not zombify, it was also a unit infected by the T-Virus. In the system’s introduction to the <Biohazard Crisis> plot, it had stated that monster units infected by the T-Virus in the plot would have a definite rate of producing permanent Enhancement Potions upon death!
Permanent Enhancement Potions!
Throughout more than half a month, although the prices of permanent Enhancement Potions had been falling, it was currently still at over 5,000,000 credits each, multiple times more expensive that a piece of quality Rare equipment.
To most of the Normal and middle to high-levelled players, this was definitely the most longed-for item after Legendary equipment.
But precisely because of this, he could not help but feel a bit worried, worried that these people would kill him first then split the equipment, just like they had killed the Scout and his companions before.
After all, these people had clearly known one another long before.
Only he was now completely inferior in power – the casual Heavy Armored Warrior who was initially considered an immediate companion had also been separated and squeezed to death by the octopus.
He was a Manipulator player whose HP had already depleted – if these people wanted to kill him before splitting the equipment, he would not have any power to retaliate!
“Prizes naturally have to be split, let’s first see what’s produced!”
However, there was indeed no one person among those present who was the type of player who really only cared about Credits and did not care about morality, thus even My World’s team whose equipment were normal did not have any intention of laying their hands on him.
Nonetheless, the prerequisite of splitting prizes would naturally be to get the prizes on hand, and getting them from the Giant Octopus opposite was really quite a huge problem!
“This location is a bit troublesome, even a Light Armored Warrior wouldn’t be able to reach it!”
Half of the Giant Octopus hung out of the building, and the prizes had fallen on top of a sky platform an entire close to seven or eight meters above its body!
Furthermore, even though it was dead, its body was still greasy all over – even if a Light Armored Warrior leapt up onto it, he probably would not be able to stand firmly and might just fall hundreds of meters down!
“F*ck, how do we do it?”
Everyone had not thought that this situation was rather a difficult problem!
