New Weapon-98K

All the Chosen Ones in District 527 received an announcement from the Genesis System.

For a moment, the two groups that had been flaming each other in the Chat Channel stopped, and both began cursing Sakura One-Sword.

"Damn it, that little Sakura bastard actually challenged us!"

"Fuck, don't let me see that dog. If I do, I'll at least punch him twice."

"Heh, weren't you the one arguing that we should apologize just now? Why did you change your tune so fast?"

"Hmph, he's practically shitting on my head, and I'm supposed to apologize? I'll smash his head in."

"So realistic."

"At this point, apologizing is useless. Let's just hope Boss Nan Feng can win."

Inside the Wooden Cabin, Nan Feng sighed.

He wanted to win too, but under the current circumstances, it would be difficult.

Sakura One-Sword was definitely already Level 8. The gap in their strength was so vast that it was almost impossible to cross.

Unless Nan Feng's Destined Divine Weapon could level up again!

He opened the Handsome Men Group, but no one was speaking there either.

He wondered how Su Ziran and the others were doing. Had they found any Copper Ore?

With just over nine minutes left, there was no point in Nan Feng going anywhere. He could only stay in the Wooden Cabin and wait anxiously.

"That bastard Sakura One-Sword, once I get a Cross-Region Challenge Token, I'm definitely coming for you."

District 527 had not yet dropped an item called a Cross-Region Challenge Token. Nan Feng guessed it was probably on the Cave Spider King.

Nan Feng decided that later tonight, he would go take down the Cave Spider King.

He was already Level 6. As long as he was careful, he had every chance of killing the Cave Spider King.

After another three minutes, Nan Feng gradually calmed down and began preparing for the upcoming challenge.

Even if the difference in strength was enormous, Nan Feng would still give it everything he had.

In the Cross-Regional Chat Channel, the Chosen Ones from Sakura Country were relentlessly mocking Nan Feng and spouting pre-match trash talk.

Nan Feng ignored them so they would not affect his mindset.

Nan Feng was already at a disadvantage. If his mindset was thrown off too, then there would be no way for him to fight.

Sakura One-Sword surely understood this as well, which was why he had people constantly @ Nan Feng to disrupt his condition.

To win, Sakura One-Sword had pulled out every trick in the book. He was cautious to the extreme.

What he had not expected was that Nan Feng simply muted the Cross-Regional Chat Channel. Well, he could not see it!

Five minutes remained.

At that moment, You Ran sent him a message: "The Illusion Grass has matured. I'll give it to you first. It can add 10 Energy, though it probably won't be much help."

Nan Feng: "No need. We agreed before that the Bloodthirsty Wolf Leader would be mine, and the Illusion Grass would be yours."

What Nan Feng needed now was not Energy, but Strength.

Energy affected Mana Points and Defense Power. Nan Feng's maximum Mana Points were currently 490. That might not be enough for a prolonged battle, but it was more than sufficient for a one-on-one fight.

As for Defense Power, even if it increased by another dozen points, it would not withstand a single slash from the Level 8 Sakura One-Sword. It was not much use.

You Ran: "I kept the roots of the Illusion Grass, so I can grow more. It'll mature again in three to five days. You need to increase your strength more than I do right now. The future of our war zone depends on you, so hurry up and eat it."

You Ran did not give Nan Feng time to hesitate and directly traded the Illusion Grass to him.

Nan Feng hesitated for two seconds, then accepted it.

What if he had to fight Sakura One-Sword in a prolonged battle? Then this Energy would come in handy, wouldn't it?

Illusion Grass: After consumption, increases a Chosen One's Energy by 10. (Note: Each Chosen One can consume a maximum of one plant. Consuming more has no effect.)

Each person could only eat one Illusion Grass. That was kind of a scam.

When Nan Feng had heard You Ran say it could be cultivated, he had been delighted and was planning to eat several more.

He swallowed the Illusion Grass in one bite. Nan Feng felt dizzy, and his vision doubled.

Fuck, was it poisonous?

Just as Nan Feng thought that, the double vision vanished and his dizziness faded. Instead, he felt incredibly alert.

Apparently, it was not poison. It was simply an effect of the Illusion Grass.

The dizziness lasted around five to ten seconds. He wondered whether ferocious beasts would suffer the same effect. Maybe he could use Illusion Grass as a crowd-control skill in the future... Nan Feng shook his head and cast the thought aside. He would test it when he had time.

You Ran: "The Illusion Grass costs 20 cups of Mana Recovery Potion. Remember to give them to me."

Nan Feng: "??"

This girl was actually forcing a sale on him again. That was too much.

Still, this was good too. The price was clearly stated, so he would not owe her a favor.

After all, favors were the hardest things in the world to repay.

Besides, Nan Feng's cost of making Mana Recovery Potion was extremely low. Trading 20 cups of Mana Recovery Potion for one Illusion Grass was not a loss for him.

Three minutes remained.

Huang Yuanming sent him a message: "Brother, hurry, take these 100 Iron Blocks!"

Nan Feng's eyes lit up when he saw the 100 Iron Blocks Huang Yuanming had traded over.

Nan Feng: "Awesome, brother! You mined 100 of them so quickly?"

Huang Yuanming: "Damn it, my hands are about to break. We didn't keep a single one. They're all yours."

Huang Yuanming: "It looks like they found Copper Ore. Wait a little longer, and we'll definitely get it to you before the fight starts!"

Nan Feng knew that the outcome of this challenge concerned every Chosen One in the entire war zone. Helping him improve his strength was only natural, since it concerned their own interests as well.

But Nan Feng was still moved.

One minute remained.

Without saying a word, Su Ziran directly traded over one piece of Copper Ore.

The instant he received the Copper Ore, Nan Feng immediately tapped to upgrade his Destined Divine Weapon!

The attributes of his Destined Divine Weapon instantly underwent a massive change!

Destined Divine Weapon:

Weapon Name: Ordinary Arsenal

Current Grade: E-rank Lower Tier

Type: Backpack

Attributes: Backpack Slots +50

Materials Required for Upgrade: Wood*300, Stone*500, Iron Block*200, Copper Ore*20

Equipment Unlocked by the Arsenal: Desert Eagle, Stone Dagger, 98k Sniper Rifle, Red Dot Sight

--As the grade of the Destined Divine Weapon increases, more equipment will be unlocked.

Ding! As your Destined Divine Weapon grows, you have unlocked a new weapon—98k Sniper Rifle!

Ding! As your Destined Divine Weapon grows, you have unlocked a new attachment—Red Dot Sight!

Ding! As your Destined Divine Weapon grows, you have comprehended a new skill—Charged Strike!

Three consecutive system notifications made Nan Feng ecstatic.

A new weapon! And a new skill!

Nan Feng immediately opened his backpack and looked at the antique-looking 98k Sniper Rifle.

98k Sniper Rifle:

Current Grade: E-rank Lower Tier (increases along with the Dilapidated Armory)

Type: Weapon

Attributes: Strength +50, Energy +10

--Each attack consumes 30 Mana Points and deals damage equal to 150% of Attack Power to the enemy.

--Equipment from the Dilapidated Armory.

"Strength +50!!"

Nan Feng was completely stunned.

Before the upgrade, the F-rank Peak Desert Eagle had only provided 20 points of Strength.

This 98k had directly increased that by 2.5 times!

This was amazing!

"Wait, my Desert Eagle has also advanced to E-rank Lower Tier. Its attributes should have improved too."

Nan Feng looked again at the Desert Eagle and the wooden... no, it should be called the Stone Dagger now. What a bizarre name.

Desert Eagle:

Current Grade: E-rank Lower Tier (increases along with the Dilapidated Armory)

Type: Weapon

Attributes: Strength +40, Energy +20

--Each attack consumes 3 Mana Points and deals damage equal to 130% of Attack Power to the enemy hit.

--Equipment from the Dilapidated Armory.

Stone Dagger:

Current Grade: E-rank Lower Tier (increases along with the Dilapidated Armory)

Type: Weapon

Attributes: Strength +30, Agility +20, Constitution +10

--Each attack deals damage equal to 120%–150% of Attack Power to the enemy.

--Moderately enhances the bleeding effect.

--Equipment from the Dilapidated Armory.

The Desert Eagle and Stone Dagger had both seen improvements in their attributes.

Among them, the Desert Eagle's Strength bonus had also reached 40 points. Compared this way, the 98k's attributes were not actually that exaggerated.

And the 98k consumed a lot of Mana Points. It was suitable for fighting bosses, but for clearing weaker monsters, the Desert Eagle was still more reliable.

"Right, I also got a new skill!"

Nan Feng looked at his personal panel and found the new skill—Charged Strike—in the skill section!

Charged Strike: Infuses Mana Points into a firearm, condensing them into an extremely powerful Mana Bullet. For every additional 5 Mana Points consumed, damage increases by 1%, up to a maximum increase of 100%. Can be used in conjunction with other skills.

"Holy shit, this skill is awesome!"

Nan Feng was overjoyed. Wasn't this skill made specifically for Sakura One-Sword?

A 98k Sniper Rifle paired with Charged Strike—who could withstand that?

Inside the Wooden Cabin, the familiar silver-white Teleportation Array lit up beneath Nan Feng's feet once again.

The challenge was about to begin!

Nan Feng held the 98k Sniper Rifle in both hands and sneered.

Sakura One-Sword, get ready to eat a bullet from Someone Nan!
