Overpowering Momentum (Bonus Chapter 29)

Purple ring?

A slight thrill filled my heart, and I quickly turned my gaze over. I saw that after the Ability Crystal was activated, a ring radiating a purple glow appeared in its original place. The ring was very beautiful.

The inside of the ring is covered with dense, incomprehensible text. The ring prongs are exquisitely crafted, resembling the claws of a little devil, embracing a deep blue gemstone above the ring face. Frost surrounds the gemstone, and it shimmers with purple light—clearly a high-end item!

The next second, the ring's attributes appeared.

[Ring of Frostblight] (Quality: Purple)

Rank: Tier 3

Strength: +30

Agility: +28

Specialty: Attack damage +10%

Specialty: Frostbite, Damage Increase by 50%.

Blessing: Critical Hit Chance +4%

Blessing: Lifesteal +4%

Strength required: 400

Requires Agility: 250

Its attributes are incredibly strong, almost ridiculously so!

With a combined 58 points in Strength and Agility, and maxed-out Critical Hit and Life Steal attributes, it has reached the pinnacle of purple equipment. In addition, it also has a feat that Damage Increase by 10%!

Damage-boosting feats are a crucial trait, with a chance to appear on all equipment, but the refresh rate is extremely low, and even lower on top-tier equipment, making them very difficult to acquire. However, if you manage to collect a full set of high-stat damage-boosting feats and accumulate them to 100%, it's equivalent to doubling all your damage output, an effect that will be unimaginable.

In addition, the Ring of Frostblight has a Frost attribute that increases ice damage by 50%, which means my 250% damage from the Cold Star Piercing Bone will increase to 375%, which is pretty amazing.

"Call..."

Taking a deep breath, he immediately put on the Ring of Frostblight, replacing the previous Blue Ring of Swarm Will, and his Combat Power instantly soared!

At the same time, an unexpectedly pleasant ringing sound came to my ears—

[Congratulations! Your Overall Combat Level has successfully surpassed 3000 points. As you are the first player to break through 3000 points, you receive the following reward: Achievement +6, and an additional reward: Overpowering Momentum (SS-rank Skill Tome)!]

Is there really such a good thing?!

Amidst the wind and snow, I was slightly taken aback.

He hurriedly opened his Dimensional Storage Space and took out a deep golden Skill Tome.

[Overpowering Momentum] (SS-rank Skill Tome): Upon activation, grants a powerful boost. Each time a target is hit, the damage of the next attack increases by 10% from the base, lasting for 7 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes. Costs 20 Essence Points. Required level: 30. Required class: Super Weapon Master.

The moment I saw the detailed description of the skill, my mind went completely blank!

Without a doubt, all SS-rank skills are god-tier skills!

Previously, I possessed two SS-rank skills. One was Bio-Electromagnetic Pulse, a genetic mutation ability that had saved me more than once. The other SS-rank skill was Tian Gong Kai Wu Tian Gong Kai Wu, which was quite useful and crucial in various boss battles. In fact, it could be said that without Tian Gong Kai Wu, I wouldn't have been able to kill General Vega.

The third SS-rank skill is clearly geared towards damage output. It continuously stacks damage over 7 seconds, and each time damage is dealt, it adds 10% to the damage of the next hit. This means that the more times I deal damage within 7 seconds, the higher the damage will be!

If...

If it can deal 10 hits in 7 seconds, then the 11th hit will be double the damage!

Instantly, a complete combo formed in my mind. What would it be like to start with Tian Gong Kai Wu, then activate Overpowering Momentum in the last 7 seconds of the Armor Penetration effect, and then unleash all my attack skills?

Unleashing tons of terrifying damage in an instant is no longer a dream!

I wonder if they'll keep firing as they advance with Overpowering Momentum. If they do... wouldn't that be defying the heavens?

It shouldn't be added on top of each other, otherwise other people won't have anything to play.

The next second, I immediately learned the Overpowering Momentum and upgraded it to level 10, instantly gaining 6 points of strength!

"Call..."

Stepping out of the Icewind Trail, I breathed a sigh of relief again, clutching my Explosive Gun, and retraced my steps with the others.

My mind was still preoccupied with the Overpowering Momentum. I was the first player to break through 3000 points in Overall Combat Level, which earned me this SS-rank achievement reward. But 3000 points certainly wasn't the first combat ability achievement; perhaps there would be 100 points, 500 points, 1000 points, 2000 points, and so on...

This also means that I didn't get the previous achievements; stronger players beat me to them!

Goodness...

Heroes from all over the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river!

There are just too many talented people in this Star Abyss!

It was already around 9 p. m. when we returned to Huaining City.

"Old Ma!"

In the Player Black Market, I grabbed Old Ma, who was about to run away.

"Oh my god, Ding Han, Ruolin..."

Old Ma looked at us, a troubled expression on his face. "What happened in the Frigid Tundra... it's all over Huaining City now. Everyone knows you killed a total of 14 members of the Ragnarok Guild..."

"They deserved it."

I said calmly, "If they hadn't attacked first, we wouldn't have killed them! Old Ma, are you chickening out? Afraid to take our spoils?"

"Coward? Who's the coward?"

Old Ma gritted his teeth, his eyes hardening. "You lot, come with me."

He led us to a very simple "office" in the black market. Perhaps it shouldn't be called an office, but rather a warehouse, piled with all sorts of goods, including guns, bullets, and various other odds and ends.

"Bring it out, I'll give you an estimate!"

"Okay!"

Zhang Ruolin laughed and said, "Kou Mei, let's get the goods!"

In an instant, the two quickly pulled out items, piling them up in a heap. These items all came from the 14 players who died in Ragnarok, including many high-level items such as RPGs.

Old Ma's eyes lit up, and his worries vanished. He was a merchant in <Star Abyss>, where the profits far outweighed the risks, and the potential profits right in front of him were simply too great!

"Holy crap..."

Old Ma frowned and said, "Wait a moment, I'll appraise them one by one."

He pulled out a calculator.

Soon after, the valuation was completed, totaling a whopping 2.8 million Star Coins. This was equivalent to almost every one of the 14 people from Ragnarok having a net worth of 200,000. In reality, it was just average, but because they outnumbered and were powerful, they committed all sorts of evil deeds, like a swarm of termites, taking advantage of other players in countless ways.

The transaction was completed, and I received 560,000. I then replenished my ammunition, bought three Medical Box, and increased my rocket count to 20. Before I knew it, I was out of money again, with only 20,000+ left, which I'll treat as pocket money.

After leaving the black market, they ate and drank their fill at a dry pot restaurant before heading back to their respective homes.

Around 10 PM.

When I pushed open the living room door, I saw Lin Qingying. She had just finished showering and was getting ready to blow-dry her hair.

"You're back?"

"Hmm, have you eaten yet?"

"Have eaten."

"Good."

I was sitting in the living room playing on my phone, while Lin Qingying was still drying her hair; neither of us spoke.

Not long after, a sudden "buzz" went through my mind. A player was speaking on the star map around Creek City: "Shadow Chaser, Ruolin, Cai Cai, Chasing Light, what are you eating? Give me a bite too! You five remember what happened today. We, Ragnarok, will never let this go. I will remember this grudge for the rest of my life and we will never let you get away with it!"

The speaker was none other than the Vice Alliance Leader of Ragnarok, and the Zu'an Liberal Arts Top Scholar.

Is he trying to start a fight in the middle of the night?

I frowned and said to Lin Qingying beside me, "I'm going to sleep now, you should go to sleep early too."

"Um."

She gave me a surprised look, since I rarely go back to my room to sleep this early.

Push open the door, lie down on the bed, quickly close your eyes, and silently call upon the star map!

"Whoosh!"

His body was suspended upside down, his spirit and soul became one, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in a space filled with stars.

The other side of the world, guided by star charts!

I checked my Experience Points and I've already reached level 32 today. I still have 87% of the experience left for this level, which is enough for 87 minutes of arguing in the Star Chart!

So, he immediately initiated a star map dialogue, saying, "Zu'an, wasn't it you Ragnarok people who attacked first?"

"Ding Han!"

Another voice rang out, accompanied by the twinkling of a star, and One Blade Into Soul appeared on the star map. "You're ruthless! You killed 14 of our brothers today!"

"Otherwise what?"

My voice was calm. "Are you waiting for us to kill all five of us?"

"You fucking bastard!"

One Blade Into Soul was on the verge of a breakdown. "Fourteen vibrant lives were lost in minutes! Are you even human? Those were my brothers, people I'd spent every day with! How could you do that?"

"One Blade Into Soul, shut up!"

At that moment, another star lit up, and it was Cai Cai: "When you Ragnarok were focusing your attacks on us, did you hesitate? Damn it, I've never seen anyone like you before. You're like a prostitute trying to maintain a virtuous image. You were ruthless when it came to killing and robbing, but now you're playing the victim in the star map?"

The Zu'an Liberal Arts Top Scholar said, "We were just robbing goods; we never intended to kill anyone!"

"Fart!"

Zhang Ruolin's star lit up as she said, "You've even managed to get Ding Han's Resurrection Sacred Canon, and you still dare to say you don't want to kill anyone? You're so hypocritical, so disgusting!"

"Holy crap..."

At this moment, the Chaos Demon King of the Crimson Firmament Alliance appeared. "The star map is quite lively today... Are they arguing? I'm on Ding Han and Ruolin's side in this fight. Don't you Ragnarok know what kind of people you are usually?"

"That's right!"

The Milk Tea Life-Extending Immortal has also come online. "You Ragnarok, in normal times you rely on your numbers to bully this and that, and no one dares to say anything. Now that you've run into Ding Han, a tough nut to crack, you've lost 14 people and feel wronged? Damn it, you deserve it! You should have been killed like this a long time ago. Ding Han should have stabbed you to the One Blade Into Soul and wiped out your entire clan. That would have been truly satisfying!"

"Cough cough..."

The leader of the Crimson Firmament Alliance, Gun Like a Dragon, appeared. "We are all players, belonging to the vulnerable group in <Star Abyss>. There's really no need to escalate this to the point of no return. Old Huang, how many times have I advised you? But you always thought that a horse won't get fat without eating night grass. Now look what's happened, you've met your match, and it's too late for regrets!"

"Chen Ruhai, stop spouting nonsense!" One Blade Into Soul immediately retorted.

"Are you a mad dog? Why do you bite everyone you see?"

Fuck you!

"Ding Han, you five listen up! Just wait and see, I will make you pay the price!" One Blade Into Soul roared.
