Chapter 5 Open-Pit Mining

The M110 in hand trembled slightly.

This is a large mutated dog nearly two meters in length, with a pair of eyes that exhibit a blood-red hue, and two canine teeth resembling pale daggers

After defeating the mutated dog, a system message flashed in the corner of the visual interface. Upon the death of the mutated dog, a piece of brown ore and several fragments of gray energy crystals, the size of a fingernail, were dropped.

However, the movement speed of these mutated dogs is extremely fast, and they are highly alert. Once attacked, they will quickly flee or retaliate, so Feng Luo needs to seize the right moment to deliver a fatal shot

After Feng Luo adjusted the shooting parameters, he noticed that the mutated dog seemed to have finished eating. It raised its head and glanced around, seizing the opportunity, he decisively pulled the trigger of the M110.

The player's personal terminal is uniformly distributed by the Federation

All of this was accomplished in a mere 0.2 seconds

The background of "War Chronicle" is set in an era where human civilization has advanced to the cosmic age, yet it suffered a devastating blow a century ago

The monsters here not only possess high attack power but also mostly have extremely strong defensive capabilities

It contains information on most common monsters in the game, as well as maps of areas that have been fully explored, and features such as communication, positioning, and task reception

I go, elite monster

Feng Luo was just about to put away his sniper rifle and get up to collect the items dropped by the mutated dog, when suddenly, through the magnified view of the scope, he saw a dark green mutated dog, nearly twice the size of the previous one, suddenly emerge from the opposite mine pit

Only this type of mutated dog has relatively average defense. If it is hit in a vital area by the M110 bullet, with the S-level talent that enhances fatal damage by 100%, there is a high probability of achieving a one-hit kill

As for the golden critical hit, attacks between players do not occur; it only has a very small chance to trigger when dealing with monsters. Once triggered, the final damage will be directly increased by 2 to 10 times

The trigger, pulled by the index finger, activates the firing pin of the sniper rifle, striking the primer of the armor-piercing round. The primer then detonates, igniting the smokeless powder within the cartridge case. The explosion of the smokeless powder causes the gas inside the cartridge case to expand a thousandfold, propelling the 7.62 millimeter armor-piercing round to exit the muzzle at a speed of nearly 800 meters per second

The items dropped by the monsters in the open-pit mines are valuable and provide high experience, and the strength of these monsters is naturally extraordinary

Thus, humanity, fortunate to exist on this planet, gradually rediscovered some lost technologies amidst the ruins and relics, established new urban civilizations, and formed a unified federal government thirty years ago

F-level energy crystal, due to its dull gray color, is referred to by players as gray crystal, with a system exchange value of 10 credit points

The mutated dog is a level 35 monster, belonging to the category of mutated creatures that emerged as a result of radiation from the aftermath of war. It possesses extremely high speed and attack capabilities, but has relatively low defense.

However, on this planet, there still exist countless mutated organisms, uncontrollable mechanical creations, and many underground research facilities, military bases, and test sites that were left behind as forbidden zones hundreds of years ago

The mission of the players is to accept the commission of the Federation, explore these ruins and forbidden zones, search for lost technologies, and eliminate the monsters within these ruins

On the personal computer terminal connected to the sniper rifle's scope, several lines of brief environmental information were displayed, allowing him to adjust certain parameters of the sniper rifle to ensure shooting accuracy

Good opportunity

The open-pit mine is a map that many players from Silvermoon City enjoy visiting, as most of the monsters here are between levels 35 and 45, which perfectly aligns with the leveling needs of the current mainstream players

E-level energy crystal, grayish-white in color, is referred to as white crystal, valued at 100 credit points; D-level silver crystal is priced at 1,000 credit points; C-level diamond crystal is valued at 10,000 credit points

Especially for some high-grade ores, whether sold to players or to the system store, the prices are quite good. Therefore, farming monsters here can be said to be a way to level up while also earning credit points.

As for the ratio of credit points to Tianxing coins, it has been fluctuating around 10:1.

Feng Luo, dressed in a full camouflage combat uniform, lay prone on top of a rock nearly two meters high, with the M110 positioned in front of him, his eyes peering through the scope to observe a nearby "mutant dog".

Killed a mutated dog and gained 65 experience points

Moreover, due to the S-level "Fatal" talent effect, the damage of this shot was doubled, resulting in the 35-level mutated dog being completely eliminated with a single shot.

This type of energy crystal fragment has the lowest value, with a selling price set by the system at 1 credit point

Taking the player as an example, when an attack hits the opponent's armor and fails to break the defense, it only inflicts normal and * graphic * damage

The information transmitted through the scope caused Feng Luo to momentarily pause. Subsequently, the mutated dog, employing an unknown method, locked onto his direction, its two blood-red eyes fixed on him with a gaze full of hatred

Humidity: 45%

Bang

Moreover, the monsters here have a high probability of dropping ores

Therefore, the federal government has equipped players with this unified personal terminal to facilitate the completion of tasks

Three days later

equivalent to the "critical hit" in typical games

Wind speed: 3 m/s

Energy crystals are essentially the coins dropped by monsters in typical games, which can be exchanged for the in-game federal government currency "credit points" at a proportional rate

The red damage numbers indicate that this shot has hit a vital point, resulting in a significantly enhanced lethal damage.

Temperature: 31 degrees

West of Silvermoon City, open-pit mine, coordinates ( -1013 , 2405 )

Level 40 Elite Mutant Dog, HP: 10500, strong attack power, fast movement speed

Approximately one hundred and fifty meters away from his position, a strange dog with a dark bluish-black color, patches of fur missing, drooling continuously, and with blood-red eyes, was rummaging around on the ground of the mine, using its two front paws to dig and eat something

In "War Chronicles," personal terminals are a very important piece of equipment

More than 150 meters away, a level 35 mutated dog that had just raised its head was hit in the left eye by an armor-piercing round, and a bright red damage number appeared above its head, causing it to flip backward and fall to the ground

If the hit lands on an unprotected area of the opponent's body, or if the defense at the impact point has been breached by more than 50%, it results in yellow weak point damage, which carries a certain damage bonus

However, if a hit lands on one of the three vital areas of the human body—namely the upper part of the head, the throat, or the heart—while completely bypassing defenses, it will result in a massive increase in fatal damage

It rushed to the side of the mutated dog that had just been killed by the wind, sniffed it, and immediately let out an angry roar towards the sky

In "War Chronicles", damage is categorized into four types: white normal damage, yellow weak point damage, red fatal damage, and golden critical damage

In other words, this mutated dog yielded him a few dimes and a piece of what appeared to be relatively low-quality ore. Not bad, at least it did not waste the armor-piercing rounds that cost 3 credit points each

As for energy crystals of grade B and above, due to their larger size and extensive applications, as well as their relative rarity, they are generally not circulated as currency.
