"Holy crap..."

Looking at the stats of this Submachine Gun, I was dumbfounded. 400-500 firepower? Is this the firepower a Tier 3 Submachine Gun should have? It's already the same as my Tier 2 Purple Explosive Gun!

Without a doubt, this gun's firepower is off the charts.

In Star Abyss, equipment attributes are not fixed. Instead, based on a standard attribute, there is a certain chance of obtaining some exceptional attributes. According to incomplete statistics during the closed beta, it is said that after equipment drops in Star Abyss, its attributes will fluctuate by 0%-50% based on the standard attribute. This is the legendary "attribute drop".

Clearly, this Submachine Gun's firepower is off the charts; otherwise, its maximum firepower should be around 380 points.

Therefore, the firepower attribute has increased by about 30%, which is quite abnormal considering the current scarcity of purple equipment!

Furthermore, as the Roarer's rank increases, its attack range also increases from 120 meters to 150 meters. This is understandable, as equipment in <Star Abyss> has attribute changes based on quality and rank. The purple Roarer has a range of 150 meters, and perhaps the orange and cyan Roarer will have an even greater range!

The official explanation during the closed beta was that there was a concept in <Star Abyss> called "Machine Soul".

As a type of weapon, firearms will awaken their "Machine Soul" once they reach a certain quality, which is why we have memes like "the Machine Soul is overjoyed" and "the Machine Soul is displeased".

However, firepower is not the biggest highlight of this Roarer; its true strength lies in the "Explosive Kill" attribute!

Once a critical hit is triggered, the Shooting Damage will be doubled for the next second; this stat is quite overpowered.

My current critical hit rate is 12%, and the ideal maximum rate of fire for the Roarer is 800 rounds per minute, which means a rate of fire of 13.3 bullets per second. If nothing unexpected happens, a critical hit will definitely be triggered within one second of pulling the trigger!

Therefore, to maximize damage, the best way to output damage is to lock onto the target, pull the trigger and hold it until the magazine is empty!

In other words, the best way to use this Roarer is simply to use up all the bullets.

"Snap!"

With a soft click, a smile spread across his face as he equipped the JP Purple Roarer, replacing his previous Tier 2 Blue Roarer!

From now on, using the Roarer to kill targets with low armor is the most cost-effective option, as the bullets are also relatively cheap. However, for bosses with high armor, it is still better to use the armor -Armor-piercing Round of the Explosive Gun to deal maximum damage. Alternatively, you can create unavoidable wounds while attacking the boss and then use the Roarer to kill it, which is also a good choice.

"Holy crap..."

The fat man glared at me. "Laughing so lewdly... did you find something good?"

"Oh dear, I noticed..."

I was speechless for a moment, and said, "I got a top-tier Purple Submachine Gun."

How exceptional is it?

Cai Cai laughed and said, "Boss, let him out so the brothers can broaden their horizons."

"OK!"

I shared the Roarer's illustration directly in the Team Channel, and everyone was immediately shocked!

Cai Cai was dumbfounded. "Holy crap... what kind of firepower is this? Is it really that shameless? Your mere 9mm Submachine Gun has about the same firepower as my 25mm Purple Explosive Gun, is that reasonable?"

"That's really unreasonable..."

Ruolin said, "But what's even more outrageous is that Explosive Kill modifier... It doubles the direct damage. Combined with Ding Han's maxed-out Mastery of Shooting, can other players even compete?"

"Awesome..."

The fat man looked bewildered, then grinned and said, "Brother, when you get the orange Submachine Gun, save this one for me, don't give it to Cai Cai, I'm telling you first..."

I gave him a wink. "Got it!"

Let's go.

Looking at the fertile fields to the south, I said in a deep voice, "Hurry up, get as many Points and experience as possible. We're already here, so we must maximize our gains. Cai Cai, Fatty, and Kou Mei, the three of you, be careful. Don't be careless anymore. Dangers are everywhere in the <Star Abyss> wilderness; we can't afford to lose any of them."

"Okay, I understand!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

So, I led the way, carrying the purple Roarer I had just acquired.

After walking for about twenty minutes, a rustling sound came from the jungle ahead.

"Watch out, it's Sonic Beast!"

Cai Cai, with her sharp eyes, pointed to a spot not far away.

Sure enough, a level 35 Blue BOSS, the Sonic Beast, suddenly rushed out of the forest with a low roar. Without saying a word, it crouched down on the spot, its body surging with wind energy, and immediately launched Sonic Boom skill!

[Battle Prompt: Sonic Beast (Blue BOSS) is charging up its Sonic Boom Lv7 skill!]

"Dry!"

Cai Cai exclaimed in alarm, "Full power, quick!"

I immediately aimed at the Sonic Beast's head and pulled the trigger in an instant. A burst of bullets from the Roarer whistled out, "pfft pfft pfft" continuously piercing through the Sonic Beast's bloated and fat head, and countless dense damage numbers quickly rose up!

"1224!"

"2436!"

"2592!"

"2646!"

"5268!"

The damage was so high, I'm almost embarrassed to even look at it!

When the second shot triggers a critical hit, subsequent attacks become double damage, triple damage for Headshot, and six times the damage. Some later shots also trigger critical hits, turning into a terrifying twelve times the damage, with each shot dealing over 5000 damage, making everyone's faces turn green!

"Awooo..."

The Sonic Beast let out a mournful cry. Its total health was only 80,000. Under the Roarer's terrifying damage, its health bar was emptied in less than three seconds, and it turned into five beams of Ability Crystal light that seeped into each of our bodies.

Opening the chest only rewarded some experience points...

Pooh!

I glanced at the Sonic Beast's corpse and frowned. "It seems the Twilight Wasteland map has been completely overrun by the alien species, otherwise they wouldn't be attacking so relentlessly. Let's be careful and take it one step at a time."

"Um."

Cai Cai said, "If it really doesn't work, we'll just go back the way we came. Our lives are the most important thing."

"You're a quick learner. Among us, you're the most Cai Cai," the fat man said sarcastically.

"That's it!"

Just as the two were talking, a familiar voice suddenly came from the star map:

"Are there any players near Twilight Wasteland coordinates (12373, 26634)? Requesting backup! Requesting backup! Our team has been attacked by aliens and is trapped in an abandoned research facility. They are all Licker, and their numbers are staggering! Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"

The person shouting in the star map is Bunny Critical Hit!

"The one from Ragnarok, the sister who One Blade Into Soul?"

Cai Cai frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

The fat man said, "If you ask me, just ignore it and mind your own business."

Kou Mei looked at me. "Boss, what do you say? You're the captain, we'll listen to you."

"Right."

Ruolin said, "Ding Han, you make the decision."

I hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you all think it's possible to save them?"

I think...

Cai Cai said, "Bunny Critical Hit is a decent person. She didn't even lift a finger when One Blade Into Soul led a group to ambush us, so saving Bunny Critical Hit shouldn't be a problem. The problem is whether this is a trap, using Bunny Critical Hit to call us over, and then Ragnarok's large force ambushing us and wiping us out!"

"Holy crap..."

The fat man's expression changed drastically. "Is the martial world really this treacherous?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out."

Cai Cai said, "Boss, what do you think?"

"Um."

I nodded. "But Cai Cai, you might be overthinking it. This is <Star Abyss>, not <A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality>. There might not be as many people with wicked hearts here. I think we can go and take a look first. If we can save them, we will; if not, so be it. We don't have much of a relationship with Bunny Critical Hit anyway."

"Learn."

Cai Cai grinned. "Boss is brilliant, I'll listen to you!"

"We're very close, be careful to hide, let's go!"

"Walk!"

In the darkness, a group of people sprinted along the jungle towards the corresponding coordinates in the southeast for ten minutes. Sure enough, the map ahead was covered in blood red, with a dense swarm of Licker surrounding an abandoned building. Inside the abandoned building, gunfire continued to erupt, and grenades were thrown out, exploding among the Licker.

"Boss, over there..."

Cai Cai pointed to the right side of the research institute and said, "There are fewer Licker on the side of the abandoned wall. If we can clear a path from there, we should be able to enter the research institute and rescue people in the shortest possible time."

"Wait, let's ask how things are at the research institute first."

Immediately, I opened the star map and called Bunny Critical Hit directly, "I've arrived nearby, what's the situation inside?"

"Ding Han?"

Bunny Critical Hit was incredibly excited. "Licker keep rushing in! There are only six of us here, and we're about to collapse!"

"Which six people are they? One Blade Into Soul, is Zuan even here?"

"Not here..."

Bunny Critical Hit said, "To maximize our Experience Points, we split up. I'm leading this team, while my brother and the others went in another direction and won't be back anytime soon."

"Knew."

I nodded. "I'll lead a team to storm in from the east. You guys can just climb out the windows from the east. There are too many Licker; we can't kill them all. After you come out, retreat south along the hill on the right."

"Good!"

The next moment, I closed the star map and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, follow me, and break through!"

"Walk!"

The next moment, I grabbed the Roarer and led the four of my squad to the north side of the wall. We immediately opened fire, and with the Roarer's gunshots ringing out, the Licker in front of us fell in droves!

A level 35 elite Licker only has around 5000 health points. A few headshots with Headshot can take it down. With my maxed-out Mastery of Shooting, it's like harvesting wheat!

Cai Cai and Fatty used Explosive Gun to suppress the enemy from both sides, Kou Mei was in the middle, and Ruolin was holding Submachine Gun to cover the rear.

Ahead, a dense swarm of Licker was attacking the east window of the research institute. Each of their heads had split into mouthparts, their faces were ferocious, and they looked extremely frightening.

"Grenade!"

At my command, ten grenades were thrown out instantly, clearing the area with a deafening roar!

"Huang Yiyi, retreat!"

After I shouted, Bunny Critical Hit jumped out of the window with Submachine Gun, followed by a second and a third, a total of six Ragnarok players rushed out of the research institute. However, when the others saw me and Cai Cai and the others, they couldn't help but show complicated expressions.
