Thriller Paradise

Chapter 127 Intermission 32

Feng Bujue already met the requirement to equip this weapon. Compared to the wrench, both weapons’ Offense Points were ’medium’, and they came with their own element. In terms of special effects, the wrench would deliver more damage on humanoid enemies while the blade would prove immensely useful when facing off against mechanized enemies.

For Feng Bujue, he believed that the blade had two points better than the wrench as a weapon. Firstly, this was a conventional bladed weapon and thus had a bigger attack range. Secondly, they were both elemental weapons; however, electricity could not only hold back the mechanized enemies but could also inflict the paralysis effect on other life forms. Furthermore, the weapon would not be bound once equipped, and the price of five hundred Skill Points was not that expensive. If he found a better weapon to replace it in the future, it could be sold at the auction house for at least several dozen thousand Game Coins, so there was no loss in purchasing it.

After making the purchase, Feng Bujue’s inventory was full. To upgrade his current ten slot newbie inventory to the fifteen-slot standard inventory, he would need 1,000,000 Game Coins that he did not have. Plus, the price of the Tessaiga earlier had scared our main character a bit, so after purchasing Robots-Must-Die, he left Thriller Box.

He went to the market to check the changes to the ranking. The competition for the team combat ability and overall ability ranking was very tense. Other than the first two spots, the changes for the rest of the ranking were huge. However, the ranking for personal combat ability and level were relatively stable. It was worth nothing that Fearless Champion, who was the first to reach maximum level during the closed beta, had fallen out of the top ten fighter ranking, and he was no longer at the top of the level ranking. Some unknown names had squeezed into these two rankings, and these people were the main power of Regulation.

...

Feng Bujue bought four magazines of ammo at the shop and sold the dagger that he had gotten during the hunter island scenario. That cleared up a space in his inventory. Then he returned to the log-in lobby, ready to queue up for his next challenge.

Currently, his level was sixteen.

Temporarily, Feng Bujue would not challenge Solo Survival on nightmare mode again. One could only attempt that kind of depressing and exhausting mode at most twice a week; doing it daily would crush anyone’s spirit.

While for Team Survival Mode, queuing them with Xiao Tan and the rest was more worthwhile because there was a guild EXP buff. Even though their guild only had four members, everyone would have an additional three percent EXP, which did not show up in the rating review, and that was better than nothing.

Therefore, Feng Bujue felt like trying out Killing Game again. The previous 1v1 that did not have an ending left him with a taste for more. Fighting between players was indeed quite interesting. Even though the horror factor drastically decreased for the Killing Game mode, PvP could still provide a surge to the players’ adrenaline, bringing an alternative exciting experience.

With that in mind, Feng Bujue was ready to queue for another 1v1. But at that moment, when his eyes moved to the touch screen, someone sent him a communication request.

"Hmm... It’s him again," Feng Bujue mumbled. The player who had sent the request was Flashes of Sword. Feng Bujue pressed agree and quickly said, "What do you want?"

"Hello, Brother Feng, are you free now?" From Flashes of Sword’s voice, he seemed to be in a good mood.

"I’m standing inside the log-in lobby of an online game, talking to you, so do you think I’m free or not?" Feng Bujue shot back.

"Haha... you have a point."

"Don’t tell me, you wish to team up for a scenario with me?" Feng Bujue asked in a strange tone.

"What’s wrong with that? Aren’t we friends?" Flashes of Sword replied.

"Let me guess... Killing Game?"

"Yup."

"No, no, no." Feng Bujue repeated thrice in an impatient tone.

"Why not?" Flashes of Sword grumbled.

"I can’t beat you anyway," Feng Bujue answered cleanly.

"Ha ha..." Flashes of Sword laughed. "I’m asking you to join me for a 2v2."

Feng Bujue was confused when he heard that. "Wait, what? You’re from a big guild and one of the famous players. For a professional gamer, don’t you have a fixed group you usually play with?"

"I’m not supposed to be free to come online this morning, so this is counted as my personal free time, so I plan to just wander about," Flashes of Sword explained. "It just so happens that the rest of my friends from the studio are currently in-game, so I came to you."

"Your guild should have more than enough normal players, right? Can’t you find anyone at a similar level to queue with you?" Feng Bujue asked.

"I’ve looked through the list. Even for non-professional gamers, there aren’t many who are online at the moment. There are only about three people whose levels are close to mine and are free," Flashes of Sword said. "Before I logged into the game, I was looking through the guild members’ information at the office, and I remember these few IDs. They are noobs with five fighting points. I would rather queue with you than with them."

"You sure are a straight-shooter... The members from your guild are noobs with five fighting points. Shouldn’t you be hiding facts like that from an outsider?" Feng Bujue said.

"Ha ha... I’m just telling the truth. Capability is something you have or you don’t. Even if I give them face, they might not be able to sustain it. The only way to change other people’s view of them is for them to grow stronger."

Flashes of Sword had a point, but Feng Bujue was one who cared about other people’s feelings, so he merely smiled and did not provide any extra comment. Instead, he changed the subject. "Then... by bringing along a teammate like myself whose fighting point is slightly higher than five, your faith in winning this 2v2 will greatly increase?"

"Brother Feng, excessive humility is also a form of pride," Flashes of Sword said. "At least both of us know very well how good you are at this game. Let me tell you, the Sorcery weapon that you got last time might be the first such item that Thriller Paradise has ever seen. In fact, it might even be the only such weapon the game contains so far."

"Hehe... Fine, fine. Since you’ve praised me so much and so passionately just to invite me, I’ll deign to play one round with me." Feng Bujue was being extra shameless. He was going to play Killing Game anyway, and now he was hugging another person’s leg. And the leg of someone like Flashes of Sword was definitely a huge leg to hug. In terms of equipment, level, and fighting ability, he was among the top of all fighting focused players.

After hearing him say that, Flashes of Sword fired off the team invitation and added, "Then, I’ll queue for the game now."
