New Weapon - 98K Sniper Rifle

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

For a moment, the two groups who had been hurling insults in the [Chat Channel] stopped, and instead began cursing Sakura One-Sword.

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

"Fuck, that dog bastard, don't let me see him, or I'll at least give him a couple of punches."

"Heh, the guy upstairs who was just advocating for an apology? How did you change your mind so quickly?"

"Hmph, he's already crapped on my head, and you want me to apologize? I'll smash his head in."

"So real."

"It's too late for apologies now, we can only hope that the great Nan Feng can win."

Inside the Wooden Cabin, Nan Feng sighed.

He wanted to win too, but given the current situation, it was difficult for him to win.

Sakura One-Sword must be level 8 by now. The gap in strength was almost impossible to bridge.

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

He opened the [Handsome Men Group], and no one was speaking in it yet.

He wondered what Su Ziran and the others were up to, and if they had found the [Copper Ore]?

With less than 9 minutes remaining, Nan Feng couldn't go anywhere useful, so he could only stay in the Wooden Cabin and wait, worrying anxiously.

"This damn Sakura One-Sword, just you wait until I get a [Cross-Region Challenge Token], I'll definitely beat you."

District 527 hadn't dropped the [Cross-Region Challenge Token] item yet. Nan Feng guessed it should be on the [Cave Spider King].

Nan Feng decided to go take care of the [Cave Spider King] later that night.

He was already level 6, and as long as he was careful, he had a good chance of killing the [Cave Spider King].

After waiting for another 3 minutes, Nan Feng's mood gradually calmed down, and he began to prepare for the upcoming challenge.

Even with a huge gap in strength, Nan Feng would give it his all.

In the [Cross-Regional Chat Channel], the Chosen Ones from Sakura Country were furiously mocking Nan Feng, exchanging pre-match trash talk.

Nan Feng ignored them, so as not to affect his mindset.

Nan Feng was already the underdog, and if his mindset was messed with, he wouldn't stand a chance.

Sakura One-Sword definitely understood this, so he found people to continuously @ Nan Feng, affecting Nan Feng's state.

To win, Sakura One-Sword pulled out all the stops, truly playing it safe to the extreme.

However, what he didn't expect was that Nan Feng directly blocked the [Cross-Regional Chat Channel]. Ha, he couldn't see it!

5 minutes to countdown.

At this moment, You Ran sent a message: "[Illusion Grass] has matured, I'll give it to you first, it can add 10 Energy, although it's not very useful."

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 wasn't Energy, but Strength.

Energy affected Mana Points and Defense Power. Nan Feng's current Mana Points cap was 490. He might not be able to fight a prolonged battle, but it was more than enough for a one-on-one fight.

As for Defense Power, in front of the level 8 Sakura One-Sword, even an extra dozen points of defense wouldn't withstand his single strike, so it was of little use.

You Ran: "I kept the root of the [Illusion Grass], it can be cultivated again and will mature in three to five days. You need to increase your strength more than I do now. The future of our battle zone depends on you, eat it quickly."

You Ran didn't give Nan Feng time to hesitate and directly traded the [Illusion Grass].

Nan Feng hesitated for two seconds and accepted it.

What if he had to fight a prolonged battle with Sakura One-Sword? Wouldn't this Energy come in handy?

[Illusion Grass]: Upon consumption, it can increase a Chosen One's Energy by 10. (Note: The consumption limit for each Chosen One is one plant; consuming more has no effect.)

This [Illusion Grass] could only be eaten once per person, which was a bit of a rip-off.

Nan Feng had been happy when You Ran mentioned cultivation earlier, planning to eat more.

After swallowing the [Illusion Grass] in one gulp, Nan Feng felt dizzy and saw double images.

Mad, is it poisonous?

Just as Nan Feng thought this, the double images disappeared, and his head no longer felt dizzy. Instead, he felt incredibly energetic.

It seemed it wasn't poisonous, but rather an inherent effect of the [Illusion Grass].

He was probably dizzy for about 5 to 10 seconds. He wondered if fierce beasts would also experience such a state? Perhaps the [Illusion Grass] could be used as a control skill in the future... Nan Feng shook his head, casting this thought aside, and decided to verify it later when he had time.

You Ran: "Exchange the [Illusion Grass] for 20 cups of mana potion, remember to give them to me."

Nan Feng: "??"

This girl, she was forcing a sale again, how excessive.

But this was good too, a clear price, no need to owe her a favor.

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

Furthermore, Nan Feng's cost to craft mana potions is extremely low; he trades one Illusion Grass for twenty mana potions, so he's not losing out.

Three minutes remaining.

Huang Yuanming sent a message: "Bro, hurry, grab these 100 Tekkai quickly!"

Nan Feng rejoiced and saw the 100 Tekkai Huang Yuanming had traded him.

Nan Feng: "Awesome, bro, you got 100 so fast!"

Huang Yuanming: "Damn, my hands are about to break. We didn't keep a single one, all for you."

Huang Yuanming: "They seem to have found Copper Ore. Wait a sec, I'll definitely get some for you before the match starts!"

Nan Feng knew that the outcome of this challenge match concerned all the Chosen Ones in the entire war zone. It was only reasonable for them to help him improve his strength, as it was tied to their own interests.

Still, Nan Feng felt a surge of emotion.

One minute remaining.

Su Ziran said nothing, directly trading one Copper Ore.

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

The attributes of his Destined Divine Weapon changed dramatically in an instant!

[Destined Divine Weapon]:

[Weapon Name]: Ordinary Armory

[Current Grade]: E-grade Low

[Type]: Backpack

[Attributes]: Backpack Slots +50

[Materials Required for Upgrade]: Wood*300, Stone*500, Tekkai*200, Copper Ore*20

[Armory Unlocked Equipment]: Desert Eagle, Stone Dagger, 98k Sniper Rifle, Red Dot Sight

—More equipment will be unlocked as the Destined Divine Weapon's grade increases.

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

[Ding! As your Destined Divine Weapon grows, you have unlocked a new accessory—the Red Dot Sight!]

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

Three consecutive system notifications filled Nan Feng with immense joy.

A new weapon! And a new skill!

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

[98k Sniper Rifle]:

[Current Grade]: E-grade Low (Increases with the upgrade of the Dilapidated Armory)

[Type]: Weapon

[Attributes]: Strength +50, Energy +10

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

—Equipment from the Dilapidated Armory.

"Strength +50!!"

Nan Feng was stunned.

Before the upgrade, the F-grade peak Desert Eagle only provided 20 Strength.

This 98k was 2.5 times stronger!

This was incredible!

"Wait, my Desert Eagle also upgraded to E-grade Low. Its attributes should have improved too."

Nan Feng then looked at the Desert Eagle and the wooden... no, it should be called the Stone Dagger now. The name was a bit odd.

[Desert Eagle]:

[Current Grade]: E-grade Low (Increases with the upgrade of the Dilapidated Armory)

[Type]: Weapon

[Attributes]: Strength +40, Energy +20

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

—Equipment from the Dilapidated Armory.

[Stone Dagger]:

[Current Grade]: E-grade Low (Increases with the upgrade of the Dilapidated Armory)

[Type]: Weapon

[Attributes]: Strength +30, Agility +20, Vitality +10

—— Each attack deals 120% to 150% of Attack Power as damage to enemies.

—— Moderately enhances the Bleeding effect.

—— Equipment from the [Dilapidated Armory].

The attributes of the Desert Eagle and the Stone Dagger have also been improved.

Among them, the Desert Eagle's Strength bonus reached 40 points. When compared like this, the 98K's attributes aren't that exaggerated after all.

Moreover, the 98K has a high Mana Point cost, making it very suitable for fighting bosses. For clearing out small monsters, the Desert Eagle is more reliable.

"Right, I also got a new skill!"

Nan Feng looked at his personal panel and found the new skill in the [Skill Slot] – [Charged Strike]!

[Charged Strike]: Infuses Mana into a firearm, condensing it into a powerful Mana Bullet. For every additional 5 Mana Points consumed, damage can be increased by 1%, up to a maximum of 100% damage. Can be used in conjunction with other skills.

"Holy crap, this skill is awesome!"

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

With the [98k Sniper Rifle] combined with [Charged Strike], who could withstand that?

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

The challenge match was about to begin!

Nan Feng hugged the 98k Sniper Rifle with both hands and let out a cold laugh.

Sakura One-Sword, prepare to take a shot from Someone Nan!
