Chapter 139

Director Locke’s secret chip .

A chip which recorded several conversations between Director Locke and the Umbrella Corporation as well as the evidence of the Umbrella Corporation for running the illegal human experiment .

The owner of the chip would be restricted from going offline within the mission period . The chip will be dropped upon death .

In the Chief Security Officer’s office, there was a secret switch beneath the stone wall . Feng Luo, who was holding a tiny translucent chip in his hand, couldn’t believe that he had managed to acquire the most important item needed for the city-building mission in such an easy way .

After listening to the system announcement, Feng Luo finally believed that the mission which had consumed almost four days for 15 players had almost been accomplished .

“Damn it! If we’d have known earlier, we wouldn’t have spent so much time hiding . We could have kidnapped the Chief Security Officer when there was a chance and could have forced him to give us more information by torturing him!”

Feng Luo shrugged and smiled when he heard the words . But, of course, he was just joking with himself . Realistically, how could this mission be so simple?

Taking into account all the prior clues, it should have taken approximately two ways to complete this mission . One of the ways was to go directly into the rehabilitation center and invade or infiltrate the Umbrella Corporation’s underground secret base to retrieve the evidence related to the illegal human experiments they were doing .

However, considering the competency of the Umbrella Corporation and the underground base’s strict security level—which was under the mastermind White Queen’s control—this plan would most likely end in failure . And the remaining option was assumed to be in the hands of the Chief Security Officer .

According to the standard procedure, players should first hear about the “Billy incident . ” Then they would start following on the clue about the “man-eating beast,” and eventually, they would discover the conspiracy between the Chief Security Officer and the Umbrella Corporation during the investigation process .

After that, the players were to find out about the conflict between Director Locke and Harley . From there on, the players would have to find a way to arrest Director Locke and acquire the evidence with Harley’s help .

However, the players were under surveillance due to the fact that Young Master Lin and the other two had alerted the Umbrella Corporation in the first place, causing the head of the research center to inform Director Locke about the issue . This had placed the guard bureau on the opposing side, meaning it wouldn’t have worked from the beginning; this undoubtedly had caused the second method to be cut off .

However, fortunately, Feng Luo had some Scout Beetles with him . Therefore, he had retrieved some important information through scouting at both the guard bureau and the rehabilitation center . This had made up for the two crucial links, allowing them to complete the mission via a “shortcut . ”

The missions in War really were this special . The difficulty of the important tasks would not necessarily be tough . Rather, they would be affected by a variety of factors such as the player’s actions and NPC’s emotions in the completion of the actual mission, which made it possible for a “shortcut” to occur .

For example, the Chief Security Officer was a greedy character . If they were to learn that he had the evidence, they could have obtained the evidence from him in exchange for a huge sum of credits! And the system would not cancel a reward just because one had taken a shortcut .

For example, after Feng Luo put away the chip, he focused his attention on another item that was placed together with the chip . It was a black box which was believed to have a long history .

The Galaxy Empire Era, 12 . 7mm bullet box .

The attributes given by the system allowed Feng Luo to guess that there must be something inside . After he stored the chip, he opened the box .

Impact Bullet, Type I (B-Rank Ammo)

Increase attack ability by 10% . After the bullet hits the target, it will produce a strong impact force . The repulsion effect level depends on the target’s weight, causing 1500 bonus damage .

Note: The greatest effective shooting range is within 100 meters . Level requirement for 100% power of the firearm: Level 45 .

“A B-rank bullet!”

Feng Luo’s eyes were shining . How rare were B-rank bullets? They were rarer than Rare-grade equipment!

Up until now, the special bullets that the players had used were mostly D-rank and E-rank . C-rank bullets were the items that were being highly promoted in auctions . The price was already high .

With the players’ current profession level, it would be impossible to manufacture B-rank bullets . They could only be acquired through special missions or when a Boss dropped them . And almost every time, only two of three would appear!

It would be safe to say that due to the speculation on the market, a B-rank bullet would have an estimated value of more than 20 or 30 times that of a C-rank bullet! And inside this box, there were literally 15 of them!

“Isn’t the system being a little too generous this time?”

Feng Luo felt that this was a bit strange . However, after realizing the attributes of this type of “B-rank impact bullet,” Feng Luo understood why there were plenty of them inside this bullet box .

Frankly, even though this bullet was B-rank, it was not outstanding simply by its attributes . Its increase in attack percentage might have been incomparable to C-rank energy armor-piercing bullets . Moreover, the effective distance was within 100 meters, which would make the user completely lose the advantage of shooting from long range .

This disadvantage was anything but minor; it was entirely on the losing end compared to other B-rank bullets with extremely powerful attributes that Feng Luo was aware of .

However, it was a B-rank, after all . Therefore, its attributes would live up to this rank . Its attribute of creating a certain degree of repulsion effect and causing 1,500 bonus damage was undoubtedly the most valuable attribute . The functions of special bullets were not only about the attacking power but leaned more toward the word “special . ”

The burning effect of deflagration shield-breaking bullets . The destruction of double armor-piercing bullets . The energy of shield-breaking bullets… And as for this impact bullet type I, the most important feature would be its impact and repulsion effect .

To a Gunner—especially Snipers and Rifleman—”repulse” would be a very useful special attack . These professions were vulnerable to melee professions and monsters at close distance .

However, if the Rifleman had enough bullets, they would have a complementary repulsive ability, whereas Snipers would not be capable of doing this . Hence, these 15 cartridges were highly useful .

The only slight downfall was that the bullets had a diameter of 12 . 7mm and couldn’t be used in his M110—not even with the Barrett . This was because the bullet was not of the armor-piercing variety but designed for a pistol . Hence, these bullets were only compatible with the Desert Eagle .

He was using 50 BMG for his Desert Eagle . They were actually 12 . 77mm bullets, as 50 BMG was an abbreviation for 0 . 5-inch bullets .

This was the gun that had been granted by Mu Wu as a mission reward in the beginning . Now, he had finally received a special type of bullet for it from this mission . This was undoubtedly a perfect coincidence .

Feng Luo took the Desert Eagle out and used tweezers to extract the bullets one at a time from the bullet box, filling up the Desert Eagle’s magazine .

Ka!

When Feng Luo loaded the magazine, he realized that this Desert Eagle, which he seldom used, was a Level-39 Rare pistol . It was far weaker than his M110 equipped with the Eye of Thunder . But if a single magazine was fully utilized, it could probably kill a Heavy Armor Warrior in a second!

The Desert Eagle was only at Level 39, which was six levels lower than the level required to unleash the full potential of the bullet: Level 45 .

The level requirement to unleash 100 percent power of the gun appeared as a new attribute in the bullet list after the update . However, its attack speed was the same as a sniper rifle, and it had already appeared as a hidden attribute in the past .

All the bullets in War had a certain level requirement . In cases where the gun’s level was lower than the bullet’s required level, the bullet’s power, such as the bonus damage and the percentage increase in attack power, would certainly be reduced .

This was to prevent low-level players from depending solely on high-level ammo when facing players and monsters at the same level, as this would result in an overwhelming victory . After all, at its full potential, this type of B-rank bullet could deal damage of up to 1,500 points with the bonus damage . If it were to be used against a player slightly higher than Level 10, he could be murdered within seconds just because of the bonus damage . In fact, it was not only the bullets—a lot of consumable items in War contained such restrictions .

Feng Luo placed the Desert Eagle on his tactical belt and the rest of the eight bullets into his tactical backpack . He thought about Sister Rui’s Level-46 golden Desert Eagle with perfect and Rare-grade equipment that could thoroughly unleash the full potential of these bullets . If the need arose, he could give her a few of these bullets .

As Feng Luo was pondering this, someone started banging on the office door from outside, and Mu Zi spoke with a rather anxious tone .

“Brother Feng! Are you inside? Quickly, come out! Young Master Lin and his two followers have suddenly snuck back, but they got into a conflict with Sister Rui, and they are now in a stalemate . ”
