Chapter 229: “Crazy” Equipment
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
What happened? Why did I suddenly get kill a contribution? I clearly did not partic.i.p.ate in killing anything!
Bowl of Instant Noodles looked shocked.
Wait a minute… Could it be…
However, he immediately thought of a possibility, and his eyes widened. In War, one didn’t need to enact damage on the target in order to obtain contribution points. If the system judged that a player had contributed to the process of killing an Elite Grade target, then the player would be able to obtain Contribution points and experience.
For example, the scouting information from a Scout, the treatment and buff potions from Doctors, and even some active “aggro” behavior…
There was only one Elite Grade monster a.s.sociated with him recently, and that was the Elite Grade Rebel Army Reconnoiter that had been pursuing him all the while! The only explanation for him receiving the Contribution Points just now was that the Rebel Army Elite Reconnoiter, wearing five to six combat gears and who had been chasing him all this time, had just been killed. The system had judged that he contributed in some way or another, and as such, he received that notification and experience.
“That means… That rebel army reconnoiter is dead!” Bowl of Instant Noodles said in disbelief.
The rebel army elite reconnoiter had already killed several people throughout the night, which was why he had five to six pieces of equipment that were his spoils of war.
If Bowl of Instant Noodles was honest with himself, in his current condition, he would most likely lose utterly 80% of the time if he were to fight a Level 44 Elite monster with “Top-notch” equipment like that person. That would be the result where the opponent only had a military knife and not any guns or other long-range attacking methods as a weapon…
The rebel army reconnoiter had died, but Bowl of Instant Noodles did not know whether he had been killed by an NPC or another player.
“F*ck! It better not be a player!” Bowl of Instant Noodles thought with his eyes wide open.
If it were under any other circ.u.mstances, this sort of “life-saving” players would be good. After all, compared to an NPC, players would feel more camaraderie between each other and feel that they were on the same side, which meant that it would be easier to network. One could even say there was a chance to ride on their coattails!
However, in this game right now, Bowl of Instant Noodles really hoped that it wasn’t a player who killed that Elite rebel army reconnoiter. It was because whether it was a player or the rebel army, the common ident.i.ty of all of them was that they were all “partic.i.p.ants” in this game of death. So in this game, anyone and everyone was an enemy, and each and every partic.i.p.ant would have the desire to kill their opponent. Bowl of Instant Noodles was more willing for the opponent he faced to be the rebel army reconnoiter rather than a player who was able to kill that rebel army reconnoiter.
After all, if he were to fight the rebel army reconnoiter, he could still win, but if it were against that player…
For the energy crystal reward valued at over 100 million, he was certain that players would be far more ruthless than NPCs in a fight.
Hold on. That rebel army reconnoiter shouldn’t be too far away from me just now. That means that the person who killed this Elite rebel army reconnoiter is very likely to be nearby!
Bowl of Instant Noodles focused his attention on the forest he just exited, and he had a feeling that there was a high probability that the enemy would charge at him from that direction. After all, he had been busy escaping just now and had not had time to erase his tracks.
Sh*t! I don’t like this uneasy feeling. This won’t do. I have to hide first!
After hesitating for a moment, Bowl of Instant Noodles looked around him. He noticed a small cave on the side of a giant boulder that could not be seen easily from below.
He quickly ran a few steps, and relying on the explosive strength of Light Armor Warriors, he leaped at full stretch from the beach and climbed up the edge of the boulder. Then, he immediately hid there.
Just a few seconds later, Bowl of Instant Noodles felt relieved that he had just hidden. F*ck! Someone really did come. He peeked through a tiny hole in the side of the cave and looked toward the direction of the forest. A figure wearing a camouflage combat uniform was slowly walking out of the forest that was still a little dark.
F*ck, this b*stard! He’s really f*cking crazy!
The person who appeared seemed very calm. His movements also showed that he wasn’t really vigilant.
However, Bowl of Instant Noodles still could not help but silently exclaim. The equipment worn by the player who looked like a gunner truly made him admire him. Anti-infrared camouflage combat uniform, wetland combat boots, two military knives, a silver handgun, a pair of black tactical gloves, a high-end tactical vest… Apart from missing a helmet and a main weapon, his equipment as a gunner was pretty much complete!
Bowl of Instant Noodles only had a pair of boots and had merely unlocked a backup longsword. How could he stand it emotionally?
However, apart from admiring him, what also surprised Bowl of Instant Noodles was that the camouflage combat uniform the guy was wearing was exactly the combat uniform the rebel army elite reconnoiter was wearing. Without a shred of doubt, this showed the person’s ident.i.ty.
“F*ck! How can I keep playing when there’s a player who obtained such a huge advantage in just a few hours throughout the night?” Bowl of Instant Noodles couldn’t help but think.
This person was really another player! Among all the players who were sent scattering all over the place by the rebel army the night before, there was actually a player like this who could collect an entire set of equipment even more “luxurious” than the rebel army elites. This person’s strength was frightening.
F*ck! Why is he coming over? Is it because he noticed the corpse of the rebel army Heavy Armor Warrior and he’s coming here to search? Please don’t be…
The gunner whose profession wasn’t yet clear but whose combat strength was more than enough to completely crush him was actually walking straight towards Bowl of Instant Noodles. He quickly pulled his head back into the cave and prayed.
However, events took an unfortunate turn.
“Come out!” After a few seconds, a calm yet somewhat deep voice sounded not far away from his hiding place. Although the voice was quite low, it was strong and clear and entered his ear like the roar of the waves slamming into boulders.
F*ck, I’ve been discovered! Wait, no! Is he trying to trick me? This cave is quite high up. There’s no way he can see me on the ground! He might be saying this habitually to trick people… After hesitating for a moment, Bowl of Instant Noodles left the cave.
“Let me remind you. When you hide; perhaps you should do something about the footprints you leave on the beach. Apart from that, your location isn’t a suitable hiding place. On the contrary, if you were to jump into the sea from there, it would be a good way to run!” the young gunner wearing multiple gears said calmly. His words continued to flow into Bowl of Instant Noodles’ ears.
F*ckkk! Footprints!
Upon hearing that, Bowl of Instant Noodles was infuriated as he knew that the opponent had certainly found his hiding place.
However, jumping into the ocean, that’s a decent idea!
However, after hearing the words of the opponent, an idea flashed across Bowl of Instant Noodles’ mind.
The only thing was that just as his body wanted to move, he started to have doubts again.
He is clearly trying to kill me to earn kill points. Why would he tell me the way to escape? It must be a trick!
Bowl of Instant Noodles hesitated again.
