Chapter 292 Perfect Armor

After entering the storage room, Feng Bujue first went to retrieve the additional reward. He still chose the forty percent extra experience. The upper limit for level twenty-eight was 280,000, so forty percent of it was 112,000. That would be higher than the EXP he gained from clearing the scenario. After taking the additional reward, Feng Bujue headed to the other glass tube with a nervous heart as he prepared to retrieve that useable perfect quality equipment.

"At a time like this, one shan't have too much hope," Feng Bujue reminded himself. He was preparing his heart so that he would not be too disappointed if the item he got was horrible. The white light pooled before him, and before long, exquisite-looking, sleeveless armor floated inside the glass tube. The armor was silvery-gray in color and had golden carvings as decoration. Under the light, there was a floating, blurry light that seemed to surround it.

Name: Artemis' Embrace

Item Type: Armor

Quality: Perfect

Defense Points: Zero

Element: None

Special Effect: Significantly decrease the damage from all long-ranged attacks.

Equip Requirement: General Ability C and cannot be traded after obtaining it.

Remark: With the blessing of the Goddess of the Hunt, the player will be immune to all normal arrows, bullets, and similar long-ranged attacks. It can also neutralize a portion of other long-ranged damage (from special ammo, long-ranged skill, and special equipment) and non-physical damage.

"This is not bad," Feng Bujue commented. "It is not worse than the blessed garment mass produced by your sister."

He would not give up this opportunity to mock the relationship between Artemis and Athena. Since Echo Armor was actually just a belt, adding this equipment on top of it did not affect Feng Bujue. Even though a Grecian style armor looked rather out of place matched with a comic inspired belt, since he had been showing his outfit, it did not matter.

When he put on the armor, Feng Bujue was truly joyful and satisfied for a long time. This was his first perfect equipment. Even though he had obtained the legendary one-hit-kill pistol and the legendary cold-blooded armor before, those ultimately belonged in the scenario. The feeling of wearing this Artemis' Embrace… was like finally driving the car home after test driving one many times.

Of course, with Brother Jue's personality, he would not be satisfied with just equipment for that long. His attention was soon diverted. He first checked the situation in his inventory. The fuel air explosive, the detonator, the Freeze Ray Gun, the Spare Parachute that he had prepared when he was planning to ransack the Batcave, and so on had all disappeared. From the rating review, it showed that he had come out of the scenario with nothing.

The Killing Game was eventful. Ever since Jason Todd showed up, Feng Bujue's plan had been messed up. But now that he thought about it, he did not lose much, just some ammo and two potions.

"Hmm… For now, I do not need to go and restock. I'll go the market after completing another scenario," Feng Bujue murmured. "I'm just a smidgen away from level twenty-nine. Before level thirty, I'd better not do anything with my skill points, so there's no need to go to the Thriller Box to spare myself the seduction."

After thinking for a while, he decided to go for another queue and raise his level to twenty-nine.

Back in the elevator, Feng Bujue first opened the friend list, but most of them showed that they were still in-game. He did not have the time to wait for them, so he queued alone. After giving it a few seconds' thought, he clicked open the choice of modes on the touch screen and selected a Team Survival Mode. Since he had played a Solo Nightmare Mode and a super hard Killing Game already, he just wanted to relax and be carried this time.

He quickly checked his stats.

With those stats, he would be the main carry no matter the team he joined. As long as the scenario was cleared, even if he sacrificed himself in the progress, he would be given the experience, so levelling up was certain.

"Feng Bujue: Level 28.

"Please select the game mode that your team wants to join.

"You have selected the Team Survival Mode (Normal). Please confirm.

"Confirming… The team size has been randomized: A team of four.

"You have joined the team queue. Currently searching for other readied players or teams.

"Search complete. Team full.

"Adjusting nervous connectivity. Generating the scenario…

"Please wait a moment. Downloading."

After the series of hints, the famous line for the game rang out again.

"Welcome to Thriller Paradise."

This time, it sounded like a well-mannered youth who spoke like he was reciting a poem. At the same time, darkness descended before Feng Bujue. It seemed this scenario planned to suddenly drop the players into the situation.

"Download complete. You are currently playing Team Survival Mode (Normal). A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance to trigger a side or hidden mission and special world-building.

"Reward for clearing the scenario: Random draw of a useable skill card.

"Playing the scenario introduction soon. The game will start right after."

The introductory cinematic started, and the video was rather uneventful.

It was dusk in a bustling city with skyscrapers. The streets were jammed with cars and pedestrians. Everything looked normal, and the system voice did not begin. The camera panned slowly in the air like a documentary showcasing the sights of the city.

Such a normal beginning gives off a strange sense of anxiety… Feng Bujue thought.

Ten seconds later, the camera focused on a building about twenty stories tall. Then, with a fixed angle, it slowly approached it. The sky darkened, and the pedestrians and cars slowly dwindled…
