Taoruisi Parker, a subordinate of the Duke, nicknamed the Heart Lady, is an Tier Eight gunner who excels at long-range sniping.
In the Transcendent world of Planet Oklo, there's a saying: if you encounter a Gunner within a kilometer, don't hesitate, go and take him down.
If you encounter a gunnery unit a kilometer away, the best course of action is to retreat as quickly as possible.
Once locked on by artillerymen ten thousand meters away, I can peacefully say goodbye to the world.
While this statement is exaggerated, it does reveal a high regard for the long-range bombardment capabilities of the gunnery division.
Upon receiving the Duke's order, Taoruisi immediately grabbed her weapons and stealthily infiltrated the hunting grounds.
An Tier Eight gunner deliberately concealed himself, and the Transcendent sent out by the four chief stewards to monitor him did not discover him for a short period of time.
After all, it's impossible to send Legendary experts to every region, right?
"Hmm, according to the information provided by Duke Excellency the Duke, that Red Ghost possesses a very strong detection ability, and it might even be a high-star, high-quality mechanical detection device. It's best not to get within six kilometers of it, otherwise it will be easily detected."
Taoruisi also used her invisibility ability to lurk in the grass, recalling the Duke's instructions before she set off.
Nobody's a fool. The Snake Gang was able to carve out a piece of the arms trade pie in the chaotic Sunset Jungle, so its members were certainly not stupid. They had long ago deduced that Logo possessed extremely high detection capabilities.
That's why the Duke sent the gunner Taoruisi to carry out the mission from a distance. If he had chosen melee combat, he would have been discovered before even reaching the enemy, which would have been awkward.
"Taoruisi, we've located the Red Ghost. He's 12 kilometers to your north and he's ambushing one of our squads. Move out immediately and take him out!" The Duke's slightly hoarse voice rang out.
"Clear!"
As Taoruisi answered, she leaped from the ground like a black phantom and moved swiftly northward, making no sound as she moved, blending perfectly with her surroundings.
Concealment is also an essential skill for gunners, since most gunners prefer to ambush others from the shadows, and direct confrontation is often a last resort.
A moment later.
"We've reached the designated location, but haven't found any trace of the Red Ghost. That guy's really fast." Taoruisi said, adjusting her pupils to focus, as if the ten-kilometer distance didn't exist.
Her eyes have been mechanically modified, giving her many special abilities, one of which is "Ultra-Long Vision".
A scene of utter devastation came into view. The mangled corpses on the ground made Taoruisi narrow her eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in her pupils.
"Can it be tracked down?" the Duke asked in a deep voice.
"No problem, no prey can escape Eagle Eye's tracking." Taoruisi smiled confidently, scanning her surroundings. In her eyes, the world seemed to transform into a two-dimensional picture, with black and white lines outlining and intertwining.
She quickly located Logo and Crassus.
"Found it!" Taoruisi licked her lips and, like a nimble black panther, silently approached, quickly closing the distance to about 9 kilometers.
"This is it, just to be safe, we can't move any further!" Taoruisi thought to herself, then leaped up, activating the two circular blue-black mechanical devices around her waist, breaking free from gravity and soaring into the sky.
Arriving at a point about 500 meters above the ground, Taoruisi steadied herself and took out a metal card. A wisp of energy flowed from her fingertip and was injected into the card.
With a series of clicking sounds, the metal card expanded into a terrifying weapon that was three meters long, entirely bluish-black, and had a caliber exceeding 35 millimeters.
The KT-1 Tyrant is a heavy sniper rifle made by Taoruisi. Its quality is between three-star premium and Rare. It is powerful and has excellent performance. It can fire not only physical ammunition, but also energy beams such as lasers and particle beams.
Mechanical Transcendent, upon reaching a high level, can master basic matter compression technology, compressing items of a certain volume and mass to the size of a fist, or, like Taoruisi, compressing them into a single card.
With the addition of magnetic levitation technology, the weight of items has been greatly reduced, leading to a surge in the number of weapons that can be carried.
Therefore, for mechanical Transcendent who rely on equipment in combat, becoming High-Rank Transcendent is a huge transformation.
The mechanical systems at this level Transcendent; each one is practically a mobile arsenal.
Should we use physical munitions or energy beams for the attack?
After a moment's thought, Taoruisi took out an orange-yellow bullet about 30 centimeters long. Calling it a bullet was a bit of a stretch; it was practically a cannonball. One could only imagine the horrific consequences of it hitting flesh.
The fact that Taoruisi produced this bullet proves that she ultimately chose to use physical ammunition.
As the energy beam travels closer to ten kilometers, it consumes most of its energy, and its power diminishes considerably.
Of course, more importantly, energy beam strikes are far more expensive than physical bullets, and in Taoruisi's view, there's no need to use energy beams to deal with a Mid-Rank Transcendent.
If one bullet doesn't kill, I can just fire a few more, right?
A qualified gunner will always choose to eliminate the enemy with the least possible cost; saving money is nothing to be ashamed of.
With this in mind, Taoruisi loaded the bullets into the KT1-Tyrant.
Her seemingly slender arms effortlessly lifted this weapon, which weighed at least half a ton.
No scope is needed; Taoruisi's modified eyes are more suitable for her than any scope.
Goodbye, Red Ghost!
With a slight smile playing on her red lips, Taoruisi pulled the trigger.
Boom!!
