There were two small changes to the previous chapter. The name of 24K's hidden mission was changed to "Heart of a King Beetle (1)," and the Rare Charge skill was changed to "Raging Charge." It was only done in the wee hours of the morning, so I didn't think much about the name at the time.
In the last area of the underground ruins, 24K's battle had entered its final stage.
"Boom, boom, boom …"
Suicide Bombeetles with red dots on their abdomens had expanded to the size of fists. They flapped their gray wings and charged madly toward the Black Beetle Commander.
"-2043, -84, -780 …"
Damage numbers not only appeared on the Black Beetle Commander's body, but they also injured the three Black Steel Beetles protecting it.
"Roar!"
The "Assassin Team" led by the Level-45 Elite Bladed Beetle also used the Psionic Shield cast by 24K. They ignored the green venom of the Spray Beetles and attacked the Black Beetle Commander with their sharp "scythes" and blade-like tails.
There were also the two Spray Beetles and the Steel Beetle that belonged to 24K.
The Black Beetle Commander's HP was less than 20,000, and because its Psionic Energy was depleted, it could not even use mental attacks.
As such, there was no suspense in the outcome.
[You have participated in killing the Black Beetle Commander. Kill Contribution: 52.7%. Obtained Experience: 2,635. Medal Points: 15.]
The moment the Black Beetle Commander died, a system notification flashed in Feng Luo's vision.
52.7% Contribution Points meant that there was a 100% chance that something would drop. This was also why Feng Luo was not worried that 24K's hidden mission would affect the exploration mission of the team.
Moreover, to be honest, Feng Luo's contribution for killing this Black Beetle Commander could even be said to have reached 100%. (The contribution from the beetle soldier type was calculated separately from Feng Luo, but the 24k contribution was added to Feng Luo).
Apart from him using the Tyrant to attack the Black Beetle Commander at the beginning, the others did not attack at all. It could be said that this was the second Commander-grade monster that he had single-handedly killed.
"The Black Beetle Commander is dead. Exploration mission progress increased. It's now 80%. "
After the death of the Black Beetle Commander, Mu Zi, who had been staring at the recon meter, did not need Feng Luo to say anything.
"Dead? Did the equipment shard and sonic weapon blueprint drop? "
Chairman Jiao was more concerned about the Legendary equipment.
"I can't see it. The remaining beetles on the battlefield are still fighting … No, they suddenly stopped!"
Rose Thorns stood at the very front and looked through the gap of the alloy shield. Her face was a little surprised.
"Brother Feng, what should we do now? Can we go now? "
Little Witch glanced at Feng Luo and asked with a questioning look.
"We still have to wait a little longer!"
Feng Luo shook his head, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
This was because at that moment, 24K suddenly sent him a message through the mental link.
After getting rid of the Black Beetle Commander, the remaining beetles expressed their "submission" and asked him if he wanted to take these hostile beetles with him through the wormhole.
"Yes, of course!"
Feng Luo instructed through the mental link without hesitation. This situation was very likely to be a reward from a mission, so naturally, he had to take it.
One had to know that in this battle, the battle between the two beetle squads could be said to be extremely fierce!
Although they had successfully gotten rid of the Black Beetle Commander, in reality, the beetle army that Feng Luo had accumulated during this period of time was almost wiped out!
Apart from the Scout Beetles and Gatherer Beetles, there were only about a dozen combat beetles left. Among them, two-thirds were normal Energy beetles that did not have any attack power!
Although there were not many of the remaining hostile beetles.
Among them, there was still a Level-35 Elite Steel Beetle, two Level-30 Elite Spray Beetles, and a Level-27 Elite Energy Beetle. Four Elite beetles, this could be considered to have made up for part of the losses!
After all, the value of Elite beetles was far above that of normal beetles!
…
"Hey, the remaining live beetles are actually disappearing one by one!"
After a minute, when all the beetles had left through the "wormhole" opened by 24K using the last bit of psionic energy. In the depths of the ruins, only green liquid and beetle carcasses were left after the intense battle!
However, what really attracted everyone's attention was clearly the carcass of the Black Beetle Commander!
Everyone had already seen two items emitting a faint light beside the carcass of the Commander beetle.
One was naturally the blueprint of the sonic weapon emitting a white light, and the other was emitting an orange light …
"Legendary shard!"
After everyone quickly walked over, Mu Zi, as the captain, picked up the last piece of Legendary equipment shard, which was slightly larger than the previous three pieces.
"Little Mu, hurry up and take out the other shards as well. I can't wait to see what kind of equipment it is!"
Chairman Jiao said with a face full of excitement and curiosity.
"Okay!"
Mu Zi replied and took out the item from his backpack!
While everyone's attention was focused on the Legendary equipment shard, Feng Luo's attention had completely turned to another place.
At that moment, 24K, who had been standing on his shoulder, suddenly jumped down, flapped its little wings excitedly and landed on the carcass of the Black Beetle Commander beetle.
Following that, its little golden limbs moved and actually dragged out a thumb-sized crystal with a faint gold color from the carcass of the Black Beetle Commander beetle.
Then, it opened its mouth and quickly chewed on it with "crunch, crunch" sounds!
[Your item has completed the mission "Heart of a King Beetle (1)." Obtained 15000 Experience!]
[Congratulations, your item has leveled up. Currently at Level 39!]
After 24K completely ate the golden crystal, its body immediately flashed with a white light, and it leveled up to Level 39.
As a B-model item, the experience required for 24K to level up was far more than other items, so it had not reached Level 40 yet!
However, did completing this hidden mission only give experience rewards?
Of course not!
Feng Luo immediately checked 24K's attribute panel and found that there was a "In Evolution" status!
"Evolution?"
Feng Luo's heart skipped a beat.
He was not unfamiliar with this situation. Previously in the Withered Desert, 24K had entered an "Evolution" state after eating half a piece of psionic crystal!
Things in War were the same as players. Their attributes could not only be increased through leveling up, they could also obtain additional increases in combat strength under certain circumstances.
Moreover, not only combat strength, but even their levels could also be "upgraded!"
Under some special conditions, a Normal model item could possibly evolve into an Elite model, and an Elite could advance to a Commander, and a Commander could advance to a Quasi-B …
Of course, this advancement was extremely difficult, and the further one went, the harder it was to level up!
This setting by the game company was clearly taking care of some normal players.
After all, based on the current market, a "Basic Item Chip" that could only control Normal grade items cost a few thousand credits, an "Intermediate Item Chip" started from tens of thousands, and a high-level Item Chip that could control Commander grade items cost as high as millions of credits!
For normal players, a Commander grade item was simply an extravagant wish, they could at most get an Elite grade item!
Although as the game version updated, the price of Intermediate and High-level Item Chips would definitely gradually decrease. For example, as long as players joined the Rebel Army camp, they could directly obtain a Basic Item Chip, and at the same time, they could also obtain the Intermediate Item Chip mission (The Item Control Chip was developed by the Rebel Army, so this was a camp advantage) …
However, there was a huge problem: by that time, the players might have already cultivated a deep relationship with their own item and would not be willing to exchange it!
It was important to know that this situation had already occurred in other virtual reality games.
Not to mention that in a highly realistic game like War, there was not much difference between the item and the real thing, once a long time had passed, feelings would definitely be formed!
Moreover, the item also needed to cooperate with the player for a long time to be able to cultivate tacit understanding in battle, so the impact of exchanging items would be even greater!
That was why the game officials had specifically stated that items could be "upgraded!"
In theory, all items could be upgraded to B grade! (To be continued.)
