Chapter 69: Chapter 60: Six-Blade Slaying of Beasts – Eliminating Calamity in the Sand Sea (Part 3)

[You have upgraded Bounce-Back Blade to Level 2]

[You have upgraded Bounce-Back Blade to Level 3]

[You have upgraded Bounce-Back Blade to Level 4]

…

[You have upgraded Bounce-Back Blade to Level 9]

[You have upgraded Bounce-Back Blade to Level 10max]

Amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, when the blood-soaked Gao Gong emerged, the sky was already dim.

More importantly, under the dim sky, the mutated plants flourished even more. Numerous metal vines crazily sprouted from the ground, radiation nests began to breed new mutated lifeforms, and under the sky, countless ’little stars’ lit up. Each pair of ’little stars’ was a flying species of Radiation Beast.

Gao Gong hesitated hardly at all, and with the substantial experience gained from the day’s battles, he upgraded ’Bounce-Back Blade’ to its max level in one go.

Bounce-Back Blade Level 10max: A profound technique for blocking with close combat weapons. When the opponent’s attack is blocked by your weapon, there is a 25% chance they will become stiffened, and a 17% chance they will suffer counter-shock damage. Additional state: Sound Positioning

Sound Positioning: Your hearing is exceptionally acute, with a +17% chance to detect enemies in hiding and a +10% success rate in blocking shots.

Gao Gong sheathes the two slightly dulled swords back onto his backhand, and as he summons, the human-headed dog happily runs over.

Gao Gong takes out the Nekomata sniper rifle from the bag.

[You have upgraded Precise Shooting to Level 6 (Advanced)]

[You have upgraded Precise Shooting to Level 7 (Advanced)]

…

[You have upgraded Precise Shooting to Level 9 (Advanced)]

Precise Shooting Level 9 (Advanced): As an excellent firearm user, years of combat have given you an outstanding gun sense. Weapon damage +15%, recoil -10%, critical strike rate +18%. Additional state: Bloodthirsty Blur

Bloodthirsty Blur: When using sniper weapons, your ’excitement’ will be greatly enhanced, with a +30% headshot success rate.

Slinging the sniper rifle onto his back, Gao Gong’s hands grow bloodthirsty hook claws, which he alternately inserts into the wall, quickly disappearing from the scene.

A moment later, a light gunshot sounds from a highland.

A flying mutant species in the sky is shot, roaring as it comes flying over, with its abdomen gradually lighting up, which is the sign of an imminent explosion of the radiation organ.

This is why flying mutant species are more dangerous than ordinary Radiation Beasts.

You can dodge a human bomb.

But how do you escape a homing missile?

The next moment, an energy beam suddenly flies out, directly piercing its neck. It screams and flaps its wings as it falls down.

However, at the same time, the glow in its abdomen becomes more apparent, with the flesh splitting and about to explode.

But in the next moment, a shadow leaps violently, plunging a hand into the abdomen. The ’Bloodthirsty Capturing Legs’ makes a ’gurgle’ ’gurgle’ digesting sound, and Gao Gong’s loss of blood from daytime, fatigued state, and various injuries begin to recover.

Carbon-based + mechanical, the initial concept was to use the life force of an organism to compensate for the wear and tear of the mechanical body, while the mechanical system’s massive and stable output compensates for the flaws created by natural evolution.

For example — the endurance limit.

This endurance refers not only to stamina but also to the control of the body’s complex systems, ample computational power at the brain level, and even wisdom, willpower, emotions—these things that cannot be quantified, all included.

The initial fusion route wasn’t focused on combat power.

It enhanced endurance.

The crescent moon does not alter its light, nor does a sheathed blade lose its hardness.

Under the moonlight, there is not a trace of violent noise.

Yet life continues to perish incessantly.

…

Finally, a brighter dust cloud once again shrouds the sky.

Under the yellowish clouds, decay intensifies, and radiation expands.

[You have upgraded Precise Shooting (Advanced) to Level 10max]

[You have upgraded Night Warrior (Advanced) to Level 8]

[You have upgraded Night Warrior (Advanced) to Level 9]

In the “Cyber Realm,” the difficulty of enhancing ’Close Combat Weapon Mastery’ far exceeds that of ’Ranged Weapon Mastery.’

After all, for ranged weapons, all you need is a hand, and if there’s an automatic aiming system, you don’t even need the hand—you rely more on the weapon’s performance itself.

Therefore, the improvement in ’Ranged Weapon Mastery’ can’t achieve a qualitative leap.

Even with Precise Shooting (Advanced) at max level, it only adds an additional state to ’increase headshot rate.’

While Night Warrior (Advanced) at Level 9 already has a third additional state.

Floating Boat: When using blades, the ’consumption’ of all attacks is reduced by 20%

This consumption doesn’t just refer to stamina but also power, agility, endurance, intelligence, and perception—all five major attributes are reduced by 20%.

Or conversely, when using blades, the five major attributes’ ’temporary enhancement’ is increased by 25%.

Honestly, it’s more useful than ’headshots.’

The next day, Gao Gong continues to lure and attack enemies, and the already shocked onlookers are even more astounded.

No wonder, Gao Gong performed even stronger than before.

This performance can be more intuitively reflected in lethality.

[Your attack inflicts 213 damage on Four-headed Lion, causing a decapitation effect]

[Your attack inflicts 223 damage on Hybrid Beast, causing a tearing effect]

[You execute a One-Hit Kill on Crawler]

For the first time, Gao Gong’s damage surpasses 200.

Notably, melee weapons have an attribute called ’Attack Speed.’

The Red Unicorn’s attack speed is ’1.5 attacks/second,’ while the Green Reaper’s is ’0.8 attacks/second.’

The latter is heavier than the former, so the attack speed naturally slows.

But this doesn’t mean with 100 points in power and 100 points in agility, the attack speed remains the same.

In fact, the system panel’s attack speed refers to the average attribute of a normal person—when all five attributes are at ’5.’

With Gao Gong’s current attributes, his Attack Speed is about three times the panel’s display.

And Gao Gong uses Dual Blade Style.

In the state of ’Drinking Frenzy’ stacking twelve layers, Gao Gong can deal over a thousand damage per second!

That is to say, even in a prepared state, a D-level Radiation Beast would be instantly killed, and in an unprepared state, a C-level Radiation Beast wouldn’t last three seconds.

This is the source of Gao Gong’s massive experience gain—his terrifying lethality.

[You have advanced Night Warrior to lv10max]

A max-level Night Warrior does not add any Additional State but increases Critical Strike Rate by 7%.

On the afternoon of the second day, the left Single-Molecule Hook Claw broke under pressure, and in a moment of inspiration, Gao Gong flicked his hand and hooked the other Single-Molecule Hook Claw on his heel; simultaneously, leveraging himself, muscles, tendons, bones quickly contracted, his body parts gathered with force, spinning like a gyroscope, finally landing steadily from the height of three floors.

And at this moment, the sound of passive skills leveling up echoed.

[Single-Molecule Line Hook Claw (Advanced) promoted to Elite]

Single-Molecule Line Hook Claw (passive) (Elite): Achieves self-balance adjustment through self-regulation of tendons, bones, skin, flesh, membranes, organs, implants, and bionic components.

Skill Level: 1/30000

At this point, all of Gao Gong’s active and passive skills broke through a certain limit.

…

“Boss, you’re freaking amazing!”

After two days, Iron Hide delivered supplies regularly, including a large amount of bullets and Radiation Needles.

At this moment, while sharpening Gao Gong’s blades, he praised excitedly.

The so-called gang leader must be impressive, extraordinary, and capable of what others cannot.

In these aspects, Gao Gong checked all the boxes in the past two days.

“Just sharpen your blade.”

Gao Gong tore open the blood-scab-covered bulletproof vest, which had become entirely unusable due to the blood contamination.

Luckily, Iron Hide brought a new bulletproof vest.

The Electromagnetic Sensor remains functional.

However, among the six Green Reapers, three have reached a state where sharpening is a must, indicating their extensive wear and tear.

It was for this reason that Gao Gong discovered a drawback of Biological Weapons.

If these ’Biological Weapons’ cannot self-repair, they are actually quite fragile.

For instance, the Blade Limb’s sharpness only exists at the blade tip.

A Green Reaper can be sharpened at most once more.

Gao Gong, indifferent to his ’broadcast state,’ poured a bucket of water over himself from head to toe.

“Hey, Boss, why is your elbow red?”

Gao Gong looked down, still normal skin color.

“Am I seeing things?” Iron Hide scratched his head, “Maybe it’s just blood scabs.”

Gao Gong didn’t pay it any mind but instead opened up the rankings.

First place, Symbiotic Squad, 5.32 million

Second place, Crawler, 3.12 million

Third place, Miyamoto Sanzang, 1.63 million

Fourth place, Gao Gong, 1.54 million

Did I grind for two days and nights for over a million points?

Which means, within 48 hours, I killed over 100 C-level Radiation Beasts.

Even Gao Gong couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Didn’t realize until calculating, I’m indeed quite fierce!

Back then, I almost got killed dealing with a Reaper tribe; now look at me.

Indeed, people should be reassessed after three days—I’ve only needed two.

After marveling a while, Gao Gong quickly pondered his future path.

Currently, regardless of Main Profession Level, Sub-Profession Level, or Skill Level, they’ve all reached max level.

To follow the Fusion Route, it’s necessary to first increase the ’Biological Transformation Rate’ within the First Transformation.

So now Gao Gong has to hold back his Main Profession Level.

However, this isn’t entirely a bad thing; the more accumulated, the more bonuses after job change.

But aside from accumulating experience, how else can strength be improved?

The Main Profession can’t be upgraded, and the Sub-Profession transition tasks aren’t completed.

Gao Gong quickly targeted active skills, specifically ’Night Warrior.’

Skill advancement requires ’Specialization Points.’

And ’Specialization Points’ are only possibly found in tasks rated ’Difficult’ or higher.

Besides this, there’s another method.

This method is more like Superstition, relying on ’Enlightenment’ for advancement.

This ’Enlightenment’ can be ’On-the-Spot Breakthrough,’ ’Meditation on Nature,’ or high-intensity virtual battles in the Cyber Network.

The last method is prevalent among players, akin to a Saiyan’s ’Space-Time House,’ enhancing breakthrough probability through intense brainpower consumption.

Though none of these methods boast high success rates.

But Gao Gong has a lot of confidence in the ’Double Flower Red Staff’ Template of the original host.

He vaguely senses this body has a unique talent for combat, especially in melee.

However, the C-level Radiation Beast no longer poses much pressure on him.

If seeking a breakthrough.

He must take on a B-level Radiation Beast head-on!
