Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 45 RPG-32
The Helm of the Soulbreaker gleamed with a pale blue light, which surprised me slightly.

As a blue-tier item, this helmet's stats are ridiculously good!

The basic attributes are average; attributes like 30 points of defense and 20 points of strength have level and quality restrictions, so there's nothing surprising about them. But what's surprising is the 20-point hit rate feat. This hit rate not only enhances physical attack hit rate but also increases ranged hit rate, making it an attribute that you definitely need to stack!
Furthermore, the biggest boost to the Soulbreaker Helmet is undoubtedly the "Powerful-I" blessing, which directly adds 50 points of attack power. According to the racial growth of human super warriors, strength and attack power are in a 1:1 ratio, so these 50 points of attack power are equivalent to 50 points of strength. The magnitude of the boost to the player is self-evident.

Furthermore, as players who participated in the closed beta know, according to the settings in "Star Abyss", there are three tiers of blessing attributes that increase attack power on equipment: Powerful-I, Mighty-II, and Divine-III. The higher the tier, the higher the attack power added!

At this stage, most of the dropped equipment does not have attack attributes, but I didn't expect that the Soulbreaker's Helmet would actually drop a powerful one.

I don't think it's too little at all; it's already amazing.

As for the two attributes "Mighty-II" and "Divine-III", it is almost impossible for them to appear on equipment at the current stage. Even purple and orange equipment will only have a very low probability of getting Mighty. As for the divine attribute "Divine", it can only be found on blue, pink, and gold equipment that are above orange equipment.

In Star Abyss, the equipment tiers in the early stages are: white, green, blue, purple, and orange. These five tiers will correspond to S1-S5 levels when the equipment is reclassified in the later stages. In the mid-to-late stages, according to the planning scheme during the closed beta, equipment of S6-S14 levels will be released.

Among them, S6 is cyan equipment, also known as Immortal equipment; S7 is pink, known as Relic equipment; S8 is gold, known as Cataclysm equipment; S9 is brown, known as Chaos equipment; and S10 is crimson equipment, known as Void equipment. In short, the equipment becomes more powerful and rarer as you progress, and many high-level equipment are simply beyond the reach of players.

As for now, we're basically in the kindergarten stage, so we don't need to think too much about the equipment later on.

"Clap!"

Wearing the blue helmet, the Soulbreaker's Helmet, made his head look like it was stuck on a toilet seat, and he didn't look as cool anymore.

But since it's a game, what good is being cool? Stats are what really matter!
The next moment, I glanced at my experience points and leveled up to 22 in one go. I have to say, the experience required to level up after level 20 is too much. I worked like crazy all day and used up a year and a half's worth of weapons, and I could only level up two times!

I allocated all 6 free attribute points to Strength, and upgraded the Elemental Furnace to level 20. At this point, my overall combat ability had reached a new level.

……

With my combat power level exceeding 800 points, I'll definitely be number one in Xicheng, barring any unforeseen circumstances!
I climbed back up the tree, crossed my arms, and rested for a while before deciding not to fight anymore... Once the time was up, I would return to Xicheng via the teleportation array. Anyway, my first place on the leaderboard was pretty much guaranteed.

Just then, a sudden thumping sound came from deep within the forest, followed by two helicopters appearing in my field of vision. A huge beam of light shone from afar and locked onto me!

'What the hell? '

I was slightly taken aback. Had they already used the infrared system to locate me and come to hunt me down?

It's obviously because of Soundwavemon.

This sonic beast must have been highly anticipated by the Dark Tide organization, who expected it to wreak havoc on the players' side. However, it was unexpected that it was shot down on the outskirts before it even entered the West Wind Forest!

Moreover, since Noivern had used a 200-decibel sonic boom attack, Dark Tide must have detected the impact, which is why they dispatched a helicopter to hunt it down within just a few minutes!

The next moment, mechanical rolls appeared on both sides of the two helicopters, and four Gatling guns were pointed at me!

'Oh my god...'

I couldn't help but groan inwardly. Using a machine gun on a mere player like me? What's the difference between that and using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito? Have the Dark Tide people really gone mad?!
The next moment, he flipped over and jumped down from the tree!
At the same time, the sound of machine guns continued incessantly!
In the air, streaks of fire flew by, directly smashing the tree trunk I had just been standing on into dust. Then, machine guns followed my position!

The rate of fire is too fast! I'm not Rambo, there's no way I can dodge it!

"Pong!"

With a burst of Yuan energy, he instantly created a 40-meter distance with a burst of energy. At the same time, the hair on his body stood on end, and electric currents were generated continuously in his cells. The next moment, he directly activated the long-lost skill - bio-electromagnetic pulse!
"Boom~~~"

A blue electromagnetic storm exploded in the jungle, sweeping across all space within a 1-kilometer radius!
Suddenly, the two helicopters crashed into the woods, bursting into flames!

"Whoosh!"

A few seconds later, a flash of light came from near the helicopter—another RPG!

I suddenly twisted my body and launched a stepping slash to move 5 yards away, while simultaneously using Randall's Shield to block in front of me!

"Peng——"

With a loud bang, his body was thrown back several meters!

"2284!"

It has to be said that RPGs are incredibly powerful. Even though I successfully defended, I still lost a lot of health. Fortunately, my health bar was fully restored after the upgrade, so the 2000+ damage was just a minor inconvenience!
He quickly switched to Windtalker, used night vision to aim, and saw the vanguard member carrying an RPG just 50 meters away. "Bang bang bang!" Three shots in a row, all headshots, instantly killing him!

"Wow~~~"

The moment the opponent fell, the RPG rocket launcher rolled to the side.

I was so eager to try it that I didn't care about anything else. I pounced on the enemy like a greedy wolf in the night, kicked over the corpse, put the RPG into the interdimensional storage space, and then took a few rocket grenades used by the RPG and a few explosive grenades from the enemy's backpack and combat suit pockets, and threw them all into the interdimensional storage space!
Overjoyed! I'm rich!

Just as I was about to take out the submachine guns on their backs and the pistols on their waists, gunfire erupted. The vanguard members who hadn't yet died from the fall in the helicopter began a group attack. In addition, there were the lights of armored vehicles in the distance, indicating that the enemy had arrived in large numbers!
Leave!

He suddenly turned around, unleashed a burst of energy and charged forward, creating a 40-meter distance. At the same time, he entered a state of bio-optical cloaking and quickly left this ominous place!

...At around nine o'clock in the evening, the phase teleportation array.

"Shh!"

Without hesitation, I stepped through the teleportation array into the player black market within Creek City, simultaneously switching into my normal human form.

"Hey, isn't that Ding Han?"

Old Ma grabbed me, which made me a little flustered.

"Weren't you supposed to be on a regional mission in Westwind Forest? Why are you retreating early at only nine o'clock?"

"It's nothing..."

I replied casually, "I was a little hungry and missed the mutton soup downstairs, so I came back. Besides, it's too dangerous over there, so it's good to come back early."

"That's true..."

Old Ma nodded: "How was the harvest?"

"It's alright, I'm off now, Lao Ma."

"Row!"

Old Ma waved goodbye, reluctant to part.

Without looking back, I disappeared into the darkness of the old town. Only when no one was around did I glance at the stats of the RPG I had snatched. To my surprise, it was top-tier! My luck was off the charts today!

……

Good stuff! This thing is great for ambushes, and also for taking down enemy armored vehicles, helicopters, etc.!
Unfortunately, we only have 3 grenades left. Luckily, the vanguard had brought a lot of explosive grenades, a total of 4. So now I have 3 RPG-32 grenades and 5 explosive grenades in my strategic reserves, which makes me quite well-off.

Back in my apartment complex, I went straight into the Cangshu Lamb Restaurant downstairs, ordered a small hot pot, and started eating.

"drop!"

A WeChat message from Zhang Ruolin: "Just to confirm, the three of us are safe. How are things on your end?"

"I'm already home."

"what?"

Zhang Ruolin was dumbfounded.

I took a picture of the lamb hot pot in front of me and sent it to her.

"Depend on!"

Zhang Ruolin sent a disdainful emoji: "Is this the world of the big shots? They actually left work early!"

"if not?"

I sent a smirking emoji and then turned on the emoticon.

……

After a satisfying meal, I returned to my lodgings and glanced at the activity points leaderboard. I was still far ahead, with the second-ranked player, "Shot Like a Dragon," having only about half of my points.

With only two hours left before the event ended, Gunfire Like a Dragon was powerless to turn the tide unless a Gundam was summoned.

I took a hot shower, changed into some dry clothes, lay in bed, and enjoyed this quiet moment.

Lu Xiaobei glanced at WeChat but didn't receive any messages. However, while browsing her Moments, she saw a dessert shop discount post that Lu Xiaobei had helped someone else share. She figured the person must have given her a bonus, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have posted it.

I hesitated for a moment and didn't give her a like. Ads don't deserve likes!

Milo should be at work right now, and he's too busy.

So I got up and started disassembling and assembling the RPG. By this time, my advanced repair skill had been upgraded to level 10, and disassembling and assembling such a simple RPG was a piece of cake. My skill experience points were increasing little by little.

It's 11:50 PM.

I stared at the ceiling, knowing I wouldn't be able to sleep until the reward was distributed.

Finally, at the exact moment of midnight, I heard a ding-dong sound!
Congratulations! You've ranked #1 on the kill leaderboard in the regional mission "The Spy of the Dark Tide," earning you the ultimate reward: "The Exploration of Heaven's Craftsmanship" (SS-rank skill manual)!
