Chapter 43: The Final Survivor’s Train Ticket
Chapter 43: The Final Survivor's Train Ticket
Kamiyu threw the 【Dragon Slayer Blade】 toward Jack with both hands, only for him to catch it effortlessly with a single hand—his left hand, no less.
Jack looked at Kamiyu with unexpected admiration, thinking she wasn’t as sneaky as he’d assumed and was actually quite generous.
The over-two-meter-long greatsword danced effortlessly in Jack’s single hand, the sword energy generated by its movements blowing away nearby debris and trash.
“Hmm, this is a fine blade—an Ancestral Legendary Weapon. Aren’t you afraid I won’t return it to you?” Jack glanced down at Kamiyu beside him.
Kamiyu smiled and said, “I don’t think I’ll lose. If I could take it from Bai Zhan once, I can take it from you a second time.”
Kamiyu’s generosity and the current state of the battle were advantageous for both of them.
A Warrior needed a treasured blade to increase their lethality, and Kamiyu could seize the opportunity to claim Zhong Hao’s kill count amidst the chaos.
Moreover, Kamiyu believed Jack was far more trustworthy than those who would betray or surrender at the drop of a hat.
Jack chuckled without replying, genuinely impressed by Kamiyu’s boldness and confidence.
“Enough talk. Let’s fight to our hearts’ content,” Kamiyu said.
“Wait a moment,” Jack replied.
“What is it? Don’t drag this out. If you’re thinking of some pre-battle C-scene nonsense, I’ll shoot you down immediately,” Kamiyu took a step back, eyeing the muscular man warily.
“What’s going on in your head?” Jack said, exasperated.
He planted the Dragon Slayer Blade vertically into the floor and retrieved a dark red cape from the void, rolling it into a bundle and tossing it to Kamiyu.
“What’s this? I didn’t say I wanted to trade equipment,” Kamiyu said reluctantly.
“Just take a look first,” Jack insisted.
Kamiyu clicked to view the equipment information:
【Equipment Name: Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing】
【Equipment Slot: Pants】
【Level: Legendary Tier】
【Durability: 100/100】
【Affix: After successfully dodging an attack, Attack Power increases by 300% for 5 seconds】
A cape worn as pants? Wasn’t that just a skirt?
Kamiyu exclaimed with a mix of excitement and surprise, “Well, well, so you’re the one hiding the most.”
“Your Defense Power is already strong enough. If you wore this Legendary Equipment, wouldn’t you be unstoppable?”
Bai Zhan’s Ancestral Legendary Armor, 【Razor Armor】, already had astonishing Defense Power.
So this lower-tier Legendary Armor, 【Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing】, couldn’t be far behind in terms of Defense.
If Jack wore it, he could practically dominate this game. Plus, with this affix—increasing Attack Power by 300% after dodging an attack, with no Cooldown Time—it meant that every successful dodge would grant a 300% Attack Power boost for 5 seconds. With skillful play, he could maintain this buff indefinitely.
Why wasn’t he using such an incredible piece of equipment?
Amid her excitement, Kamiyu felt a wave of apprehension.
Kamiyu was itching to get her hands on this equipment. The Dragon Slayer Blade was useless to her, but this armor suited her far better.
Even if the Dragon Slayer Blade was an Ancestral Legendary Weapon with the skill to cleave Common Tier and Legendary Equipment in two with a single strike, she could simply avoid being hit.
If this trade went through, she wouldn’t lose at all—in fact, she’d come out way ahead.
She regretted speaking too soon.
She tentatively said with shameless cheekiness, “Hey, hey, how about giving me this armor? I’ll give you the Dragon Slayer Blade.”
Jack burst into hearty laughter, then spoke in a deep voice, “I don’t mind.”
Jack was the type who pursued the ultimate thrill between life and death, craving to constantly walk the fine line between survival and demise.
The closer he was to death, the more exhilarated and delighted he became.
In fact, he disliked having talents and skills that made him nearly unkillable.
The stronger his opponent, the less he would wear equipment and the fewer skills he would use.
That’s why, when fighting Kamiyu, he hardly used any skills, relying purely on his physical body to battle her—seeking exactly this kind of stimulation.
Upon hearing this, Kamiyu immediately equipped the 【Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing】 into her Interface Panel.
A “ding-ding-ding” sound rang out.
A burst of blue light appeared.
A dark red cape draped over Kamiyu.
At this moment, three slots on Kamiyu’s Interface Panel—Cuirass, Pants, and Staff—lit up.
Her Defense Power instantly skyrocketed by 1000 points.
A sense of security immediately surged wildly, enveloping Kamiyu.
Without Defensive Equipment, a Player was merely flesh and blood, no different from an ordinary person.
Once equipped with Defensive Equipment, combined with the Supernatural Power of talents and professions, one could dominate heaven and earth.
Kamiyu’s gaze fell on the cuirass 【False Death Garment】. Strictly speaking, it was a piece of Defensive Equipment, but after checking the operation logs, Kamiyu realized Bai Zhan simply didn’t know how to use it properly.
He had used materials to replace all the Defense Affixes with Attack Affixes, turning what should have been a solid piece of Defensive Equipment into a skill-based weapon.
Affixes were affixes, skills were skills—both could be modified on equipment using materials. However, the Black Sphere Game hadn’t ended yet.
Beta Testers hadn’t been selected, so these functions were still locked.
Kamiyu thought to herself that she still had one Enhancement Point left.
What was she saving it for at this point? Now was the time to use her trump card.
Legendary Tier and above equipment all had affixes. Affixes weren’t skills, but Kamiyu could place them into her Enhancement Talent to unlock new affixes and forcibly convert them into skills.
Bai Zhan needed to expend vast amounts of manpower and resources to collect materials, and he could only replace affixes, not add new ones.
Kamiyu, however, could use her Enhancement Talent to unlock affixes and forcibly convert them into skills. Moreover, she could convert as many skills as she had Skill Points.
On her Player Panel, she “dragged” this piece of armor onto the Enhancement “icon.”
Rows of affix branches appeared before Kamiyu, each of which could be enhanced into a skill.
This meant upgrading Legendary Equipment to Dark Gold Equipment, just like her Signature Sniper.
【Increase Health by 500, manifested as greater resilience (permanent effect)】
“Resilience? Make myself more prone to getting hit? Better not.”
【Reduce damage taken by 20% while standing still (Passive Skill)】
“Wow, such a sweet passive. It’s already Legendary Armor—it can even withstand my own cannon fire. If I keep enhancing this, wouldn’t I reach 100% damage reduction?”
Scrolling further down, she discovered an even more enticing affix.
【After remaining stationary for 2 seconds, you gain 10 seconds of Invincibility Window until you start moving. (Passive Skill)】
“Holy cow, this is practically a modified version of a Golden Body Skill. Just 2 seconds of stillness grants 10 seconds of invincibility, and there’s no Cooldown Time either.”
“Combined with the evolution to Dark Gold Tier 【False Death Garment】, wouldn’t that make me the ultimate Camper?”
The Dark Gold Tier 【False Death Garment】 has the Affix: if no damage is dealt within 2 seconds, you can enter Stealth State.
Kamiyu immediately thought of a simple yet sneaky way to use it.
When a Camper lies prone for a Sniper Camp, staying still for 2 seconds triggers Invisibility, stacking with 10 seconds of Invincibility—now there’s no fear of enemy AoE.
Gently shift your body, then remain still for another 2 seconds, and you get another 10 seconds of Invincibility.
Hey, I’ll shift left a bit, hey I’ll shift right a bit, I’m Invincible again, can you find me?
It’s decided.
Kamiyu immediately clicked Enhancement.
A blue light appeared.
【Ding: Equipped Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing, new Affix added: After remaining stationary for 2 seconds, you gain 10 seconds of Invincibility Window until you start moving. (Passive Skill)】
Besides this new Affix, 【Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing】 comes with its own Affix 【Affix: After successfully dodging an Attack, Attack Power increases by 300% for 5 seconds】.
Kamiyu felt a surge of excitement, as if she had grabbed a ticket to the final Victory station.
With this powerful Armor, she could afford to be reckless, so she switched to a lightweight Submachine Gun.
Jack blinked and said, “Don’t go more than 5 meters away from me.”
With that, the two of them Charged out.
Xu Liwen, who had been surrounding them without attacking, saw them rush out and finally felt relieved.
Just moments ago, she didn’t know how to fight them, and now they’re charging out to their Death?
All kinds of vehicles in the sky and on the ground, along with every special Squad member, frantically Sprayed Jack and Kamiyu.
