Fatal Shot - Chapter 566

Chapter 566: Level 55 Elite Mech, Arnold!

The absence of the sun made the sky above their heads seem grey and dull. Even the boundless sea beneath their feet seemed to give off a dull ray of light.

This was a place Feng Luo had come to before on the map – Gray Water.

“The Nine-Star Guild is really incredible, they rented a huge warship to go out to sea, just the deposit and the rental fees alone must have exceeded a billion credits.” Standing by the window of the Nine-Star Guild allocated room, Big Pineapple looked at the different heavy weapons facilities on the lower deck, the main cannon at the front of the ship, and the missiles displayed at the launchpad, his face filled with amazement. “It feels like this time, it would be a lot more interesting than we thought.” With some excitement, he turned his head and told the few people behind him.

“As the first guild of Storm City, it is natural that the Nine-Star Guild would not have a poor relationship with the military even though they live in a place that is controlled by the military like Star City… while on the North City side, I heard it was an extremely luxurious war cruise. This is fitting of the traits of an economical city like North City.” Feng Luo was sitting on a metal chair while browsing the Players’ Forum in North City.

Although this matter should be left to the higher ups of the Nine-Star Guild to worry about, this time he had to face the players of the North City and his habits made him quickly gather the information of his opponents.

It was 9 a.m. and the ship was on its way to the path where Nine-Star Guild would be able to discover the “relics.”

Of course, this road was a waterway.

This time the relics of the open desert were at sea, and were near the center position of Gray Water.

As it happened, the target location was not far from Silver Leaf Island where Feng Luo and the Red Queen and her company had come before.

The relics of the sea were interesting and, to a certain degree, one of the reasons why Feng Luo wanted to participate in this Wasteland.

“Hey, we’re on a warship and they’re on cruise ships. Once we meet, just shoot a direct missile over and make them sink so we do not have to fight ever again.” Big pineapple laughed happily.

“You’re hallucinating. Don’t you know that these NPC we’re using will not participate in the battles between players?” At this time, Phoenix was holding a pair of brand-new fiery red female gloves, and while she was trying to put it on, she was rolling her eyes at Big Pineapple.

Hired NPCs would not be involved in the battle between the players and, according to the mission details, using the unit’s capabilities would have its limits. Although the Nine-Star Guild had rented this warship, a portion of the heavy weapons on the ship were not under their control. They would not be able to use the military weapons to cause the North City’s ship to sink.

“At least this on warship, I would not be afraid of meeting the Boss in the middle of the sea and capsize. Capsize… Speaking of which, Feng, do you remember the last time when we met that devilish fish, we almost capsized for real…”

…

While the trio was talking, Digital Cat, who was at the side, did not join the discussion.

In front of her, was the opened virtual screen which was hacking into the system, constantly scanning through all sorts of data.

“Sister Cat, you… What is this doing?” Phoenix saw this when he turned, and asked out of curiosity.

“The federal government and military have very advanced intelligent mechanical technology in the game, and there are several types of intelligent mechanical soldiers on these warships…” Digital Cat answered briefly as her fingers were on the dots of the hacking system.

“It is true, this is a lot more humane than the rebels’ biological clones, using the federal mechanical soldiers… Wait… You’re not… hacking into this ship, right?” After hearing Digital Cat, Phoenix said a few words, and then her charming eyes suddenly enlarged, as she thought of something.

“I’m just testing Arnold’s long distance remote control system.” Digital Cat shook her head faintly, she was not such a reckless person like Big Pineapple.

Although her hacking system was redeemed with B-level permissions, which in theory amounted to Legendary equipment, but like the warships which were so high-class, it was not easy being able to hack into it without being discovered.

When Digital Cat said “Arnold,” a man who was beside her immediately turned towards her direction.

It was a male “player” who was more than two meters tall and holding a four barrel machine gun, while carrying a 1.5 metres long alloy sword behind his back.

He was wearing a hooded, long sleeve, unbuttoned combat uniform, revealing his strong muscles on his chest and his arms holding the four-tube machine gun were almost as thick as the average player’s thighs. On that projection, it revealed his slightly stiffened face, which was wearing a pair of sunglasses covering the majority of his face, while revealing a bit of red light in the middle.

Arnold (Level 55, Elite) a small fighter mech.

As the four people were in a party, they could see the message about the particulars of this warship security guard-like figure who was behind Digital Cat.

“Digital MM, your technology is too strong, I feel like Arnold is a lot stronger compared to the hunter.” Big Pineapple laughed as he tried to get into Digital Cat’s good books.

Arnold was created artificially with the “Terminator T-750” chip that Feng Luo gained from his special forces duty. As for the name, it was Feng Luo who named it.

A Level 55 Elite… Digital Cat, after using a month’s time, brought out a product which made Feng Luo really surprised.

The original T-750 was only level 50. Feng Luo originally just wanted to replicate a robotic warrior which was 70-80 percent of T-750’s potential. He did not think that the one Digital Cat replicated, had a level which was 5 levels higher than the original T-750.

“This is just a prototype, all the materials used were the most ideal, the price reaching up to ten million credits.” With Digital Cat’s explanation, he understood the reason.

The cost alone was close to 10 million credit points, but this had not counted the expense during the research phase. This price was comparable to a huge-sized mecha.

The combat effectiveness of a small-sized mech, in any case, can not be compared to the heavy weapons that could be equipped, even the micro-missiles of a large armor.

“Although it was not comparable to a large-scaled mech, but a level 55 Elite level Mech unit, its combat strength is still to be looked forward to.” Feng Luo looked towards Arnold, who looked similar to Swasinger’s face, and although it had not gone through actual combat, Feng Luo believed in it.

Since Digital Cat had this confidence, letting him participate in the activity this time, must have a certain degree of assurance.

When it comes to combat effectiveness, the strength of the mechanical unit was stronger than the biological unit, and the T-750’s combat effectiveness in the previous mission was definitely no less than that of the top players.

While players now had legendary gear, Arnold was 5 levels higher than the T-750…

The confidence that Feng Luo had of “Arnold” was due to his cooperation with Digital Cat.

Replicating a “Terminator” theoretically counted more of his “asset” than the “evolutionary virus potion.” Made in collaboration with the NPC, and the proceeds did not need to be limited by the system.

Similar to how the Life Force Elixir could be advertised through this mission, if “Arnold” was able to have impressive results in this highly watched Wastelands mission…

Then, the profits would come rolling in.
