Chapter 67: Kill

Kamiyu created a Legendary Tier lightning-damage Staff for herself on the spot.

If she didn’t have a suitable weapon, she’d just make one right then and there—otherwise, her Construction Talent would be wasted.

When she fired five Charge Bullets using the Staff, she was surprised to discover something.

It turned out this game didn’t restrict a character’s Skills.

She was a Gunsmith, yet she could use Lightning Element magic like a Mage, as long as the weapon in her hand had Affixes or Skills.

Moreover, the line between Affixes and Skills was quite blurry—among the various Affixes, there were also Skill Affixes.

Kamiyu thought to herself, it seemed this game was a “Loot Game” centered around equipment.

The same character, the same class, could achieve different styles of DPS by using different equipment builds.

“So flexible, not rigid at all.” Kamiyu felt even more delighted.

Because this meant her Construction Sage Talent and Enhancement Talent could craft different builds and playstyles for herself.

Based on different Instance Dungeons and Monsters, she could create specialized equipment to more easily Break Defense and deal true Damage.

Just like now.

Against the Water Element Black-Scaled Water Snake, using the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame with a fire attribute Affix had little effect.

But using the Staff of Cruelty with a lightning attribute Affix produced unexpectedly effective results.

A single Charge Bullet shaved off 1/3 of the Black-Scaled Water Snake’s Health.

When crafting this Staff of Cruelty, Kamiyu had luckily rolled two Affixes.

【Affix 1: Consume 20 Spirit to release 5 Charge Bullets with irregular trajectories on the ground, each dealing Damage equal to 40% of the Player’s Attack Power】

【Affix 2: Potent Charge Bullet—each Charge Bullet that hits increases the Damage of every Charge Bullet by 30%】

“Two Affixes, and they can even Stack with each other. This is truly powerful.” Kamiyu felt invigorated and emboldened, charging straight toward the Black-Scaled Water Snake.

For every Charge Bullet that hit, the Attack Power of the next Charge Bullet would increase by 30%.

In other words, if the first four Charge Bullets all hit, the fifth Charge Bullet could Stack up to 160%.

Right now, she had only hit with one, and it had already reduced the Black-Scaled Water Snake’s Attack Power by 30%.

What if all five hit?

She didn’t dare imagine.

An instant Kill.

However, she noticed a drawback of this weapon: the Charge Bullets it fired had random directions, so hitting relied entirely on Luck.

These two Affixes were more suited for team play, better for Players in Guilds or Squads who fought as a team.

Kamiyu felt that large Guilds and major Squads’ assault teams would have a greater need for this kind of weapon.

Because they had people to act as the Frontline, drawing aggro and serving as Shields, while others in the Backline acted as healers, allowing the Mage wielding this Staff to deal Damage more safely.

Kamiyu was all alone, and this didn’t suit her Camper long-range playstyle.

She decided to sell this weapon and instead use Enhancement Points to unlock the Magic Bullet Thunderstorm Bullet, which could be aimed and was more suitable for her.

The battle continued.

Kamiyu charged to within 50 meters of the Black-Scaled Water Snake.

The enraged Black-Scaled Water Snake launched another corrosive vomit spray, aiming at Kamiyu.

“Again?”

“The same move won’t work on me.”

“Do you really think I don’t have other Skills to use?”

Kamiyu immediately used the Active Skill of the False Death Garment—【Stealth】.

After activating the skill, she entered a Stealth State while increasing her Movement Speed by 100%, with the effect lasting for 30 seconds.

Within 30 seconds of entering the Invisibility State, her Movement Speed doubled. With a single leap, Kamiyu flew over 20 meters away.

In the eyes of the Black-Scaled Water Snake, Kamiyu suddenly vanished. Even its snake-like monster-specific sensory organs could not detect her presence.

It was as if she had disappeared on the spot, logging out of this world.

From Kamiyu’s perspective, this was her first time using this skill.

She felt her body enveloped by a mysterious silver-white particle membrane, with a 30-second countdown visible at the corner of her eye—intuitive and convenient.

Thirty seconds was enough for her to rush to the side of the Black-Scaled Water Snake.

Ten meters, eight meters, five meters.

She reached the riverbank.

On a sudden whim, Kamiyu retrieved the Legendary Tier Ceramic Blade from her Storage, gripped the hilt tightly, and leaped with all her might.

The sharp blade pierced through the hard armor of the Black-Scaled Water Snake.

“I actually guessed right. Although the Ceramic Blade is an item directly obtained through Enhancement, since it’s Legendary Tier, it must have Affixes and Skills. Its hidden skill has been discovered by me—it specializes in dealing with living creatures and monsters. No wonder even Jack, who possesses the Steel Fortress Talent, was so afraid of it,” Kamiyu thought rapidly in her mind.

She successfully used the blade to latch onto the Black-Scaled Water Snake.

The Black-Scaled Water Snake was torn open with a large gash out of nowhere. Thinking it was a sword aura from afar, it frantically spewed corrosive substances outward.

Seizing this opportunity, Kamiyu thrust the Staff of Cruelty into the wound of the Black-Scaled Water Snake.

Consuming 20 Spirit.

Five electric charge bullets were directly channeled into the Black-Scaled Water Snake’s body.

A case of electrically roasted water snake.

A sizzling sound rang out.

“Gwaaah!” the Black-Scaled Water Snake let out a pained cry.

With a splash, a charred black water snake corpse fell into the water.

【Ding, Experience Points +1000】

【Level 10: 3545/100000】

“Oh ho, I killed over a hundred monsters along the way just now and only gained a few hundred Experience. Killing just one Dungeon Boss-level monster gives 1000 Experience?” Kamiyu exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

“Don’t celebrate yet. I need to quickly drag the monster ashore before its Dropped Items fall into the water,” Kamiyu said.

She struggled to drag the water snake’s corpse to the riverbank.

“Huh? Where are the Dropped Items? Why didn’t this monster turn to ashes this time?”

Before she could figure it out, a flash of blue light appeared, and the common Dropped Items materialized on the ground.

Medium Heal HP Potion ×10 bottles, Medium Anti-Poison Potion ×20 bottles, Aberrant Beast Shattered Bones ×100 kg;

Black Iron Ore ×100 kg, Brass Ore ×50 kg, Silver Ore ×5 kg;

Arcane Dust ×30, Haze Crystal ×30, Mystic Rune ×10, Forgotten Soul ×10, Scattering Prism ×1.

The appraisal Hint informed her that the water snake corpse was also a Dropped Item.

Kamiyu read the appraisal Hint.

So that’s how it is. The monster corpse itself is also a Dropped Item. These scales and bones can be used to craft Armor, and the venom sac can add a poison-enchanting attribute to Weapons.

She noticed that the Scattering Prism, this special material, was actually one of the important materials for strengthening the Sanctuary’s Defense Power.

Normally, you have to clear an Instance Dungeon and defeat the final Dungeon Boss to obtain it, yet now she had acquired it by farming wild monsters.

It was completely unavailable at the Trading Post.

Thinking to herself, such crucial upgrade resources would certainly not be sold off by those veteran Beta Testers.

Just as she was about to gather all the Drop Spoils of War into her possession.

As expected, the unexpected happened.

A Bow shot out from the thick fog in the distance, landing right at Kamiyu’s feet.
