Chapter 111: Power Armor Upgrade
“Hahahaha!”
After Ranqilaile shared this amusing anecdote in the player community, rows upon rows of crying-laughing.jpg appeared in the replies.
“Isn't your Liu Zong really that much of an idiot?”
“Normal, people who are used to being cheap are like this.”
“This time, a tumor in the industry has been eradicated.”
“So, has he finished drinking that tea yet?”
【Ranqilaile】: “Let me put it this way, when Liu Zong left, his phone was confiscated, and he still can't be reached.”
“Serves him right!”
“Does this mean the official side has recognized the game? Will they strongly support it in the future? Or is there a more chilling explanation?”
“It's very strange, that unspeakable organization, don't their usual operations involve catching spies? Could it be that Liu Zong's attempt to hinder the game's internal testing was suspected by the higher-ups as sabotage by an enemy country?”
“This, it's indeed a bit hard to understand—”
【Shenceng Jubian】: “Hard to say~~”
【Fengqi Loulan】: “It should just be a statement from the official side, don't think too much—”
“Ah, whatever, anyway, the game content should not be required to be censored in the future, and we can play the original Star Sea, haha!”
Soon after, more space fighters were assembled, transferred from the industrial ship factory to the hangar, and the pilots began adaptive training.
By then, it is estimated that five fighters can cross the vast 370,000 kilometers of void to bring a “surprise” to Apollo.
The day before the surprise attack mission, 30 players with the strongest comprehensive combat power boarded the industrial ship. Before they could even put down their luggage, they simultaneously received a mission from the Executive Officer and gathered in the industrial section.
“What are we doing?”
Clang clang clang!
Spotlights shone down, illuminating the empty area that had been set up in advance.
“Hello, everyone! I've missed you all so much!”
Ye Xing spread his hands and made a dazzling appearance.
“Next, at the request of the Executive Officer, I will introduce the recent developments of Cangyuan Future Technology.”
“Damn—why is your mission different from ours? Do you get more experience?”
“Calm down, everyone, calm down! This is serious business, please don't quibble over the slight difference in experience points.”
“Come on! It's not slight!”
Ye Xing cleared his throat: “In short, what I'm going to introduce to everyone is the update results of the equipment system!”
“Oh oh!”
Everyone immediately perked up. If you talk about this, we're not sleepy anymore.
Although no one likes to repeatedly grind for equipment attributes, updating and collecting equipment is the motivation for a considerable number of players to play a game for a long time.
“Then let's start quickly!”
“Cough cough! As you all know, after defeating Apollo's invasion team, we obtained more power armor accessory blueprints, and the equipment pool has accumulated considerable depth. Now it can support several different styles of builds, each set is a masterpiece from Jubian's hard work! So, please welcome model number 1!”
Guo Li Cheng carried a greatsword and walked up wearing her blood-red power armor.
Awesome!
I have to say, Guo Li Cheng's display effect was quite good. She had a waist, legs, and buttocks, plus an inverted triangle back, and shoulders slightly wider than average girls. She was truly a walking clothes rack, the standard template for female fashion.
“You should have already seen that this build is specialized for close combat.”
Guo Li Cheng's forearm armor was significantly thicker and more complex than the basic model, with multiple miniature rocket nozzles on it that could ignite and activate during close-combat attacks, using recoil to greatly increase the force of slashes and thrusts.
Or directly use a powered elbow strike!
Larger rocket boosters were installed on the back and the back of the calves, which could greatly improve mobility, allowing for rapid charge approaches to targets, or using unpredictable aerial heavy slams.
It is conceivable that after installing so many boosters, the operation difficulty of this set of equipment is not low, and it is suitable for players with rich close combat experience,
And who are somewhat confident in their physical coordination.
Ye Xing: “In addition, there are hidden amplification capacitors under the chest of this set, which can overload plasma close-combat weapons for a short time, increasing their power by about three times. It's actually a combat skill with a twenty-second cooldown!”
Everyone: “Ah———. So it was a trick with padding, no wonder it was so magnificent—”
Guo Li Cheng: “Are you asking for a beating!! (·^·)”
Ye Xing: “Model, please control your emotions—applause for the next one!””
Ma Lou appeared wearing urban combat assault power armor and holding a 20mm smart explosive gun.
This set of equipment had a small millimeter-wave radar and a shotgun installed on the shoulder, which could automatically intercept incoming missiles and drones. The front of various parts was additionally covered with a layer of Cangyuan metal-ceramic armor to enhance defense and better adapt to the bloody urban combat environment.
Finally, Caoyuan demonstrated the sniper type, using the personal electromagnetic cannon picked up not long ago, equipped with a double battery backpack, a large-caliber photoelectric system installed on the helmet, and two drones externally mounted behind the shoulders to enhance battlefield situational awareness.
Since snipers are very likely to attract enemy fire retaliation, this set of power armor has undergone some stealth modifications, coated with stealth paint, and has sharp angular shapes, looking quite distinctive.
In addition, it is equipped with an anti-hunting system. Once illuminated by enemy radar waves or rangefinder laser beams, it will immediately issue an alarm to the wearer.
The leg walking system has also been additionally strengthened, suitable for emergency escape. Under standard one times Earth gravity, the long-distance running speed reaches 100 kilometers per hour, and it can easily leap over obstacles 4 to 5 meters high.
This is the most expensive type of power armor, with a comprehensive cost three times that of the urban combat type.
“Too cool.”
“I want to top up! I want to recharge! Damn planner, oh no, planner godfather! Open a recharge page already!”
Lu Yuan sat in the bridge, watching the players instantly become fanatical through the camera, with a helpless expression.
It's not that he couldn't recharge, but now, what use was money from Earth to him?
“Brothers! Calm down!” Ye Xing tried his best to maintain order, “Boss has already said that from now on, Cangyuan will enter a wartime state again! Until Ke'er's head is on the ground!
“During this period, power armor will be provided free of charge to us players in the first and second tiers, and we don't have to compensate if it's damaged! Moreover, if everyone can keep the equipment they receive intact until the end, after the campaign ends, in addition to getting honor points, they can also buy their equipment directly at a 30% discount!”
“Really? Awesome!!!”
The players instantly WAAAAGHED.
Currently, there are three ways to obtain equipment: cangyuan coin, Pioneer points, and honor points.
Among the player community, they are generally referred to as money, instance market, and battlefield currency.
Among them, the most valuable and useful is battlefield currency. Only it can be converted into production capacity without any restrictions. In addition to equipment, various character appearance decorations are also possible, as you like.
Therefore, distributing battlefield currency is currently the most effective means of boosting morale!
The players couldn't wait to smash Apollo right now!
The third-tier players were also scratching their ears and cheeks with envy. Most of them hadn't even put together half of a basic power armor, and they definitely wouldn't have time to participate in this campaign event.
The snowball of old players is getting bigger and bigger, how can new players catch up?
“No way, just have to grind!”
“Let's go, brothers! Who's going to run instances? Let's team up!”
