“You’re trying to evolve into a Quasi-Boss, are you?” Feng Luo laughed as he grabbed the Wrath of the Rock Lizard King from his inventory and handed it over to Big Pineapple.
The item was valuable, as its stats made it so that, even if it were just a piece of Level 40 equipment, by the time one reached Level 80, one might not be willing to switch into another item.
Back then, Feng Luo wanted to get another one so that he could have a pair, but the person placed a purchase price of five million credits, and though it was clearly a ploy to increase the price, it still proved the value of the item.
However, despite the incredible value of the item, Feng Luo handed it over to Big Pineapple without any hesitation.
First of all, their relationship had already reached a certain level and apart from Mu Wu and Sister Rui, not many others had as close a relationship with Feng Luo as Big Pineapple. Apart from that, it was also that Feng Luo no longer needed this item.
The basis of Feng Luo’s Force was “Healing.” On that, once he activated his Force, Feng Luo’s HP recovered per second would be a lot higher than Big Pineapple. In that sense, the Wrath of the Rock Lizard King was pretty much useless.
Another more important reason was that compared to the ring, Feng Luo had now obtained an even better replacement.
After killing Young Master Xing the day before, it wasn’t just the Legendary Grade submachine gun that dropped, there was also a piece of SUV combat uniform as well a black ring with golden carvings.
As for the stats of Young Master Xing’s ring, it was obviously uncommon.
[Legend of Black Gold (Left Ring)]
HP +500
Agility +20
Final Damage +5%
Dynamic Vision +25%
Bonus Attribute: Destruction Coefficient of bullets increases by one grade.
Level Requirement: 50
A top-class item. Of course, it was going to be a top-class item.
Considering Young Master Xing’s identity as the first person in War to own a Legendary-Grade submachine gun, there was no way that he was equipped with something that was not considered a top-class item.
The ring’s basic stats did not require any further explanation, as they were identical to the stats of the special agent badge.
The only difference was that the special agent badge increased Visual Perception while the ring increased Dynamic Vision. Additionally, the special agent badge increased final damage by 10% while the ring only increased the stat by 5%.
The bonus provided by the ring itself could not be compared to the special agent badge.
After Feng Luo equipped the item called Legend of Black Gold with the special agent badge still in his possession, Feng Luo accidentally discovered something interesting.
All four of his decorative items had a stat bonus that increased his final damage.
Among them, the left ring and badge increased the final damage directly by 10% and 5%. His right ring, Sniper’s Glory (Chapter 296) and the necklace on his neck, Golden Bullet Necklace (Chapter 243), had the following Rare stats:
[Sniper’s Glory (Level 42)]: Attacks exceeding half of the maximum attack range will receive bonus damage. Every 10 meters increases the final damage by 1%. A maximum increase of 50% final damage.
[Golden Bullet Necklace (Level 35)]: If the previous shot inflicted a Fatal Damage, the next bullet will deal an additional 20% extra final damage]
10%, 5%, 50%, 20%… Adding all those together would give Feng Luo an additional 85% damage.
Theoretically, it was actually more than 85%, as the final damage bonus of different gears was stackable in War.
This meant that the damage increase should be multiplied rather than added together. So, the actual total bonus damage output was more than 85%… Since the necklace and right ring provided “bonus final damage,” the total did not exceed 100%.
Since the Sniper’s Glory ring and the Bullet Necklace had activation conditions, Feng Luo usually used two other backup items when he was farming for levels and switched between items depending on the situation.
…
Apart from the final damage increases, the ring’s most valuable stat was similar to the special agent badge, which was a rare attribute bonus.
“Increases the Destruction Coefficient of the bullet.”
For gunners, the weapon’s Destruction Coefficient was an important factor.
Normal Damage and Weak Point Damage, even Fatal Damage, were not separated by only one or two points.
Young Master Xing had Death Dance, and the Destruction Coefficient of the gun was already C-Grade. It was comparable to some Rare Grade sniper rifles, which was enough to break the defense of the most defensive gears including normal heavy armor.
However, if a Heavy Armor Warrior were to activate a defensive skill, it would still be quite difficult to break through the defense directly. After all, the destructive force of submachine gun bullets was a distance away from sniper bullets.
With the ring equipped, things would be different. As long as the Destruction Coefficient surpassed the Defense Coefficient, it became a lot simpler and easier to break through the defensive equipment of the opponent.
In particular, a submachine gun could unleash a large flurry of bullets within one second, and it was a lot easier to use a method like this to break through the defense of someone using brute force as compared to a sniper rifle.
However, Young Master Xing never would have imagined that the perfectly paired and well-thought-out equipment set he assembled would be gifted to someone else because he showed off a bit too much.
…
“Next, let’s talk about the reward for the mission.” Naturally, the trade of the ring between Feng Luo and Big Pineapple did not necessitate much discussion.
After everyone checked their badge, the black NPC wearing the beret started talking about something else that all the players cared about.
“This was your first group mission. However, due to multiple unexpected events, the difficulty of the mission became a lot higher than we expected. However, everyone still managed to complete this mission without fail. Not only did you succeed in rescuing the hostage, but you have also defeated the two high-level special agents of the other two departments after some fierce competition. This is an incredible achievement. General Rhodes is incredibly satisfied with your performance. By the suggestion of Colonel Haruko, we have decided that, in addition to the rewards promised at the beginning of the mission, we would also award everyone with something extra.” After the black NPC finished speaking, a bunch of system notifications and pop-ups appeared in the form of sounds and texts to the players.
[You’ve completed the B-Grade Special Agent Group Competition Mission. Overall Evaluation: A+]
[You’ve obtained 10,000 experience, one B-Rank Authorization, 2,000 Special Agent Points.]
[Due to excellent performance throughout the mission, you’ve obtained the following extra: One C-Rank Authorization, 500 Special Agent Points.]
[Due to excellent performance throughout the mission, your approval rating with Major General Rhodes has reached “Good.” Your approval rating with Haruko has reached “Trust.”]
A bunch of system notifications flooded Feng Luo’s screen. However, Feng Luo was most surprised by the last message.
He increased his approval rating with both the Deputy Director of the FBI who had the military rank of Major General, whom he had met only once at the end of the profession change mission, as well as Haruko.
In particular, his approval rating with Haruko reached the second stage, “Trust.”
This was the approval rating with a high-level combat type NPC who also had a Master Level life profession, it was an incredibly positive surprise.
