Chapter 195: Win/Lose Ratio?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Two pets appearing on the combat map made most players who did not yet have a pet incredibly jealous. Especially when, regardless of their looks or grade, the two pets were extremely uncommon!

The pet called “Shadow” belonging to the Scout player was a one-meter wolf that was completely black when it first made its appearance. However, after appearing in the forest, the fur on its body, as well as its eyes, started to quickly change color. After a few seconds, it was the same color as the grass and trees around it. If it did not move, it was incredibly hard to detect it.

Shadow Wolf. Level 39 Elite-grade pet. Possesses “Optical Disguise” ability. Can merge the color of its body with the environment. Adept at sneak attacks, explosive attacks.

The pet of the Light Armor Warrior called Blade was a blood-colored bat that wasn’t even the size of a palm. The moment it appeared, it started fluttering its wings and flew quickly into the air.

Shockwave Bat. Level 38 Elite-grade pet. Possesses the ability to cast special soundwave attacks. Extremely fast flying speed. Very hard to deal with.

The two Elite-grade monsters that appeared on the scene garnered admiration and praises, as well as some shouts and screams from some fans on the observation deck. After all, at the moment, Elite-grade pets were extremely rare. For special pets like these two, in particular, the success rate for controlling the pet biochip was very low.

Even when a normal player was lucky enough to get his or her hands on an average-ranked pet biochip, he or she would have no way to get an “extremely rare” pet like one of these. One would have to burn through several chips before succeeding!

The moment the two Elite-grade pets appeared, the “Duel of Trump Cards” between the Top Ten Masters became much more entertaining.

Two highly appealing pets attracted the gazes of several players. With one running on the ground while the other flew in the air, crisscrossing each other throughout, it certainly gained the attention of many eyeballs!

In fact, if they were in the wild, anyone would have been cautious when using their pets. After all, the loyalty point penalty for having it die once was utterly painful. However, in a PK match, the death of a pet would only cause a drop of one-tenth in loyalty points; moreover, there were no experience or credit penalties, so pets had become frequent participants in PK matches.

******

In a spot not far away from Feng Luo, one of the “Top Ten Masters” September Night Rain and his gang were also watching the match.

At that time, a player beside him asked, “Brother September? Pray tell—if faced against Blade and Shadow, do you think you can win easily?”

With a condescending expression, another player said, “What rubbish! Brother September is definitely stronger than them. After all, Brother September’s rank is a lot higher. Isn’t that right, Brother September?”

Brother September said calmly, “You’re right, but not entirely right… Although there’s a difference in ranking, everyone’s strength is around the same level. So if we were to really fight, victory wouldn’t be guaranteed! But this is in terms of our individual strength. If it were a match like this where pets are allowed, then…”

The person who had spoken earlier immediately finished his sentence while smiling. “Then Brother September, you’ll definitely win!”

“They definitely won’t know that Brother September has already finished a chain mission and obtained an Advanced-level pet biochip, then obtained a Commander-grade pet. As long as you level up the pet, your strength will definitely far surpass them!”

“Victory isn’t guaranteed,” September Night Rain said calmly. “After all, even if it was a Commander-grade monster, after becoming a pet, it would be nerfed, and it might not be a decisive factor. Yup, if both sides were to use pets, then it would probably be seven to three. They have around a 30 percent chance. However, it can’t be on this map. This map is too advantageous for Light Armor Warriors and Scouts.”

******

If it were on this map, then it’s probably at around 50 percent…

At that moment, Feng Luo was also calculating his chances of winning against the two in the match.

“50 percent to win, and also 50 percent to lose!”

After reaching this conclusion, Feng Luo’s gaze became calm.

A 50-percent chance to lose; the strength that those two displayed did not appear all that strenuous for him, which was not in conflict with his assessment. That was because the 50-percent chance was based on this PK map!

This sort of forest terrain was quite disadvantageous for Snipers. Although he’d previously experienced several combat situations in forests, a solo PK match against people like these two was different. After all, a Sniper was a profession that feared close-quarters combat, and whether it was a Scout or a Light Armor Warrior, they would be able to maximize their potential in this sort of terrain.

Apart from the terrain and profession restraints, the 50-percent chance to lose was also due to his gear and level. His equipment was considered quite decent compared to normal players. However, compared with those two superstar players who were covered in rare Level-50 set of equipment with excellent, rare stats, he still had a way to go. After all, the stats of Level-40 equipment could never compare to the stats of Level-50 max-level equipment!

However, this was before using the Enhancement Potion. After he used three Enhancement Potions, the gap in strength would be reduced to nothing in an instant. Moreover, after using the Enhancement Potion, if they were to switch to a broader map and increase the distance between them to over 500 meters, then he believed his chances would increase to 80 percent or even higher.

Perhaps two to eight…

Of course, this was in a situation in which there were no pets.

What if pets were allowed? Hmm… Then wouldn’t that be bullying?

This was especially true after the past few days, when he had developed two more Elite-grade Beetles and several Normal-grade beetles!

At the same time, in a casual rest platform in Storm City, on two seats that were completely cut off due to the holographic projection, two players were watching this battle. However, the theme of their discussion was about something completely unrelated to the PK match.

“I heard that you failed your mission,” said an Earth Manipulator wearing normal, casual yellow clothing, much like Feng Luo’s brand, sitting on the left.

“Not entirely a failure. That mission NPC agreed to give me another chance. If I succeed this time, then the mission can continue.”

Unparalleled Violence, who was wearing an entire set of dark armor, breathed a sigh of relief, then, later, his expression turned cold again.

“The Sniper who foiled my mission that night… If I learn who he is, I’ll show him who’s boss!”

“If you keep scheming against others, it’s common for you to be schemed against. There’s no need to get so angry, Old Vio!” The Earth Manipulator held a beverage in his hands and added slowly, sounding very lazy, “I really don’t want to get mad!”

Unparalleled Violence’s face relaxed as he looked helpless. “You should know that I’ve been on this mission for over half a month. Moreover, to continue doing the mission, I’ve been forced to buy a Level-50 Fire Boss core crystal from an auction. A total of 13 million credits, man! It’s half of all my money!”

“What about your boss? Did he say anything?” The Earth Manipulator sucked on the straw of the beverage in his hand.

“I didn’t plan to rely on his strength too much for this mission,” Unparalleled Violence said with his mouth turning sideways as he shook his head. “You should know that I don’t want to rely on him too much. Otherwise… I might end up like Crimson Gun Flame…”

“All right. Let’s stop talking about this. Since your boss isn’t a good person…” The Earth Manipulator stretched his back as he indicated the battle below them with his chin. “Old Vio, what’s your opinion on these two down there?”

Unparalleled Violence shook his head as he stared at the lazy-looking Earth Manipulator and said, “Due to this chain mission that is incredibly annoying, I haven’t been able to increase the level of my skills. I’m now quite behind in terms of strength. If I were to go down and fight them right now, I probably wouldn’t have much of a chance. However, if it were you, it would probably be seven to three, in your favor! After all, you’re not the only one who managed to get a spot in the Top Ten Masters list based solely on your own strength and without someone backing you up.”
