Killing and Looting Really Is More Satisfying

Chapter 411 Murder and robbery are still the most satisfying!
Ningdong Academy, student dormitory.
Luo Jun was sitting on the bed, with a large pile of various magical artifacts in front of him.
The events of last night did not arouse suspicion from Lu Fei and the others. Luo Jun believed that, apart from himself, and also from Mount Dynaso, which is far away on the other side of the earth, no one knew that so many members of the Hell Creek Family had been killed overnight.
The Hell Creek Family's wrath will come sooner or later. Before that, Yuan Cultivation Society help him hold them off for a while. Even if they eventually gain the right to investigate, the crime scene, which was already very clean, will have been occupied and left by countless people long ago, erasing all traces.
According to Anderson's memory, their investigation into the Eternal Heart wasn't limited to him. This Kidnapping was also a last-minute plan because Elder Leisade at headquarters was pressuring them, so they picked up this lead that had been ruled out months ago, as a last resort. That's why his name hadn't been mentioned in the recent reports.
Therefore, even if Hell Creek had any suspicions, it would be a long time before the investigation reached them.
Until then, striving to improve is the real priority.
Luo Jun now realizes that his greatest advantage, besides the Dice of Heavenly Secrets, Body Tempering Art, and God Technique, is his enormous potential for improvement!
His current cultivation level on paper is too low. In comparison, most other Cultivators ' strength will remain at a certain level for a long time. Therefore, even if they encounter difficulties, their first thought is to seek help from external forces to solve them.
However, Luo Jun is different. His strength is still steadily increasing. Even if there are difficulties that cannot be solved now, they may no longer be problems if he can wait a few months.
A truly promising future is on the horizon.
Of course, improving one's cultivation level takes time, but obtaining a Noble Phantasm is an instant result!
By killing these members of Hell Creek, Luo Jun obtained quite a few treasures from them. Of course, most of them were rare and of excellent quality, but there were also some useful items among them.
First, there's the bracelet we got from Anderson.
Name: Energy-Saving Bracelet
Grade: Epic
Introduction: A powerful being, suffering from excessive energy consumption, specially commissioned this treasure to lighten his burden.
Function 1: Reduces Energy Consumption by 20%.
Function 2: Energy Storage: It can store up to 500 Breath Vital Energy, which can be retrieved and used at any time.
Note: Get big results with little money!
The effect is simple and clear. Compared to the Projection Ring obtained before, this one's energy reduction function is not limited to Noble Phantasms. Luo Jun tried it out and found that the energy reduction effects of the two Noble Phantasms can be stacked. For example, after activating the Projection Ring's active effect of halving energy consumption, and then stacking it with the Energy-Saving Bracelet's 20% energy reduction effect, using the Noble Phantasm effect only requires consuming 40% of the energy.
But as I said before, for Luo Jun, the consumption of Qi has never been a problem. This thing is a treasure for ordinary people, but it is somewhat useless to him.
There might be an opportunity to sell it for a good price.
Besides this, there are two other Epic-level weapons: the revolver dropped by Linda, the blonde woman who detonated the barrier next to Anderson, and the dagger dropped by Richard, the bespectacled man in the hotel.
Name: Duelist's Glory
Grade: Epic
Introduction: The beloved gun of a legendary sharpshooter who went down in history. Legend has it that he won hundreds of duels with this weapon, but ultimately, he was overwhelmed and killed by countless other gunmen. But at least, until the moment of his death, he was the strongest in a one-on-one duel.
Function 1: Repair: This Noble Phantasm will slowly repair itself over time after being damaged.
Function Two: Duel: Once activated, this skill locks onto a target, forcing them into a duel. During the duration, both duelists can only inflict damage on each other and can only receive damage from each other. Activation consumes thirty Breath Vital Energy, has a ten-minute cooldown, and lasts for one minute, or until one of them dies.
Function 3: Reloading: When the ammo is empty, simply open the magazine and reload to refill it. To switch to a different type of ammo, insert a special bullet and close the magazine to fill it with that type of bullet. Generating a default bullet consumes one Breath Vital Energy to fill the magazine. Generating a special bullet consumes different amounts of energy depending on the type of bullet.
Bullets generated using this method cannot exit the magazine.
Note: If you're a man, fight me one-on-one!
Name: Kai Ren Qi
Grade: Epic
Description: The Murderous Weapon used by a notorious, Cold-Blooded Butcher. At least a thousand innocent people have died by this short knife. The accumulated bloodstains mixed with Fierce Aura have turned it into a deadly weapon.
Function 1: Blood Rust: The blade, covered in rust and bloodstains, causes wounds with additional effects. After inflicting damage, it randomly inflicts one negative effect, including bleeding, poisoning, infection, severe pain, or Damage Deepening. This effect is passively activated and does not consume energy, but has a five-second Cooldown Time.
Function Murderous Weapon: This weapon has an additional Mental Deterrence effect on intelligent beings when in possession of it.
Function Three: Slaughter: When activated, it unleashes a powerful crimson Blade Light. If the Blade Light successfully kills an enemy, the Cooldown Time is immediately reset. Activation consumes thirty Breath Vital Energy, and the cooldown is ten minutes.
Note: I miss the feeling of cutting open a human body so much.
Luo Jun looked at the two treasures. The Duelist's Glory was a large-caliber revolver. Even without any offensive special effects, its size alone was enough to imagine its power. As for the Kai Ren Qi, although it was a short sword, the blade was over fifty centimeters long, and the blade was wide and heavy, covered in bloodstains and rust. The back of the blade had serrations, and the handle was wrapped with bloodstained strips of cloth, giving it a fierce and menacing appearance.
From a special effects perspective, both are decent weapons, but compared to Luo Jun, the attack-focused Kai Ren Qi is less practical than the Duelist's Glory.
The main feature is the duel effect, which forces the opponent to only deal damage to you. When necessary, it can be used against the opponent's powerful damage dealers to prevent them from harming other teammates.
Luo Jun is naturally tough and resilient, so as long as he doesn't encounter Feather Transformation, he doesn't need to worry about being killed. However, in situations that require cooperation, such as this combat mission, if he had had this item earlier, he might have been able to save a few more people. Satisfied, Luo Jun put the two items back into his Hundred Treasure Box and set his sights on the third weapon.
That was the shotgun Charles used to bombard the Earth Construct.
Charles's sudden firing did not shatter Luo Jun's Gathering Origin Protective Qi. Luo Jun thought it was at most an Epic-level treasure, but after picking it up, he found that it was actually a legendary treasure!
Name: Violence
Grade: Legendary
Introduction: A weapon once used by a mysterious being. With this extraordinary firearm, this powerful figure braved Hell, slaughtering tens of thousands of demons. Finally, he met the culprit behind it all: the Titan Troll who killed his beloved pet.
After placing the head of the Titan Troll before his pet's grave, he sealed away the legendary shotgun, and no one ever saw it again.
Function 1: Repair: This Noble Phantasm will slowly repair itself over time after being damaged.
Function 2: Reloading: When the bullets are empty, simply fold down the barrel and then fold it back up to reload. When reloading, you can choose to switch to the default ammunition or load other special ammunition.
There are three types of ammunition by default.
Birdshot: can fire a large number of tiny projectiles, with a wide dispersion area, but the power of each individual projectile is relatively weak. They are suitable for dealing with fast-moving and numerous vulnerable targets. Each bullet consumes one Breath Vital Energy.
Deer Bullet: Can fire eight large projectiles, each with considerable power and stopping power, suitable for dealing with unarmored or lightly armored targets. Each projectile consumes two Breath Vital Energy.
Slugs: Fires a massive projectile with immense power and kinetic energy, suitable for dealing with powerful individuals. Each bullet consumes three Breath Vital Energy.
Function Three: Dual Fire: Allows you to fire two bullets simultaneously. The two bullets merge into one after leaving the barrel, greatly increasing their power! Activation consumes Ten Breaths Vital Energy, with no cooldown.
Function Four: Violence Shot: The next shot can unleash an extremely powerful attack. Activation consumes fifty Breath Vital Energy, with a one-minute Cooldown Time.
Function Five: Master Recognition: Having endured endless carnage, this weapon has developed a faint Spiritual Sense and has its own requirements for its master. Only a worthy master can unleash its true power.
Note: Tremble, weep, and bear my wrath!
Judging from the special effects alone, this gun's attack is simple and brutal. Its only highlights are its dual-shot and Violence firing capabilities, which, according to the description, can be used in combination. The combined effect should unleash a terrifyingly powerful attack...
As for just how terrifying it is, Luo Jun couldn't test it out... However, judging from Charles's previous attacks, it doesn't seem that exaggerated. At least Luo Jun felt that it was still a bit lacking compared to the Longitudinal and Horizontal Giant Cannon... You have to know that the Crisscross and Horizontal Cannon is a three-in-one Noble Phantasm. Although it is also Legendary-grade, it is not a complete weapon in itself. Therefore, in terms of attack power alone, it should not be considered outstanding among legendary weapons.
Is it because of this Master Recognition relationship? A gun without a recognized master can't even unleash its true power?
From this perspective, this last feature is basically a debuff!
Luo Jun picked up the gun with some curiosity. Judging from its design, it was a double-barreled shotgun with a curved barrel. The gun body was decorated with imposing patterns, and its size was much larger than that of ordinary firearms. With Luo Jun's height of 1.8 meters, when he leaned the thing on the ground, the muzzle almost reached his eyebrows, making it longer than a typical sniper rifle.
Have I gained recognition?
Luo Jun weighed the gun in his hand, unable to sense the so-called Spiritual Sense mentioned in the instructions...
He pursed his lips and put the gun into the Hundred Treasure Box as well.
As for the other Noble Phantasms, one particularly noteworthy one is Richard's glasses. According to the description, Richard was transformed into Water Person after suffering a fatal attack thanks to these glasses. However, this Noble Phantasm was damaged during the battle and is currently listed as damaged and unusable.
However, since it was damaged, there should be a way to repair it. In any case, Luo Jun didn't lack storage space, so he put it away.
As for the others, such as the ring with see-through function and the reusable soundproof nodule speaker, they were all quite practical props, and Luo Jun put them away one by one.
After organizing his treasures, Luo Jun gently stroked the Hundred Treasure Box, feeling the densely packed compartments inside. He felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Although he now possesses strength, treasures, and plenty of money, years of frugal living have instilled in him a hoarding habit... Even if he doesn't need them, just looking at his overflowing Hundred Treasure Box makes him happy.
With nothing to do, Luo Jun picked up his phone and opened the forum to see what news was happening recently.
As expected, Night reappeared in the Chaos Mission post and was once again pushed to the front page. The posting time showed that it was posted in the middle of yesterday night, and it received thousands of replies overnight, earning the hot post mark.
To Luo Jun's surprise, the poster was not a teammate he had worked with on a mission, but an old acquaintance— Wei Zhentian!
Sun Xiaowei? Is she that well-informed?
After clicking in, Luo Jun quickly browsed the post and found that the details about the task were exceptionally detailed, almost as if he had experienced it himself!
Could it be that one of Sun Xiaowei's teammates at the time was someone she knew, and who verbally explained the mission procedures to her?
As Luo Jun read through the text, he found that the details of his departure through the Gate of Myriad Realms in the final round were described very accurately. This basically confirmed that Sun Xiaowei's source of information was one of the two people at the station at that time!
Xu Li? Or Grandma Li?
Based on age, the former might be Sun Xiaowei's Mom or aunt, while the latter might be her Grandmother or maternal grandmother?
With some speculation in mind, I scrolled down the thread, which was full of praise and admiration for "Night's" strength... After a series of recent news reports, everyone had fully accepted the strength of this mysterious expert, and very few people questioned it anymore.
Thinking back to a few months ago, when Ye first appeared on the forum, there were always people who disagreed and spread conspiracy theories. Of course, now the proportion of skeptics has decreased a lot, but it hasn't disappeared. However, whenever Ye appears, it is often attacked by a large number of netizens, and sometimes even forced to delete its comments due to the abuse.
Furthermore, Luo Jun quickly noticed that those most enthusiastic about controlling online comments often used IDs with a fixed format, all named " Under the Beneath the Night · So-and-so". Moreover, these guys seemed to operate under "Wei Zhentian's" leadership, responding immediately and with extremely high efficiency, employing a strategy of precision and ruthlessness.
You even have your Fan Club now?
Luo Jun was somewhat stunned; this was something he hadn't anticipated... Looking at the barrage of criticism and doubt, he couldn't help but touch his face. "Is this the power of Fan Circle?"
Although Luo Jun has always despised this kind of behavior, it has to be said that, as an idol, he secretly felt a little pleased...
Luo Jun left the thread, feeling both amused and exasperated, intending to check the news, when his attention was suddenly drawn to a newly posted thread.
"A vicious attack has occurred in Ningdong, suspected to be the work of overseas Cultivators!"
