From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 265: Harvest, Sniper Rifle, Domination of Will

As his life quickly ebbs away, Mordred dies with an unwilling roar, and a ball of source essence is separated out.

Seeing the concentration of the source essence, Lu Heng recognized it at a glance. This was the third-level source essence.

[Shadow Knight] is the third-level job rank. Lu Heng suspected from the beginning that this job rank of his had not yet been fully integrated.

The third-level source essence is extremely rare at this stage. Even if he has the Planta family behind him and countless wealth to buy resources, he cannot complete the fusion of the third-level job at this point in time.

Lu Heng put away the source essence and did not choose to absorb it.

[Shadow Knight] This class is very valuable, and it may be useful to keep it.

Moreover, even if we absorb this source of essence now, we cannot achieve 100% fusion.

Once you find enough source essence, you can absorb it all at once to complete the class fusion.

……

013 Black Crow watched helplessly as member No. 021 in the organization was killed, and he was killed by 028, which made him look very unhappy.

"You actually killed him? I already told you, his number is 021."

Lu Heng looked back at him and said in a cold voice: "Don't talk to me in such a questioning tone, or I will crush you to death too."

Saying this to people also fits the context.

However, what Lu Heng meant by pinching to death was pinching the Yin Ya at the position of his heart, and it could really be done with just the hands.

013's tone darkened: "This is the second member of the organization you have killed."

He did not include Satoshi Hasegawa and Alex Austin, as these two were only invitational targets and did not officially join the organization.

In addition, he did not count 031 Derek Wolfe, because up to now, the Creator Organization still does not know who killed Derek Wolfe, and assumes that it was 027 who did it.

In addition, the first Yin Crow killed by Lu Heng was not counted.

If all the invited targets were counted, Lu Heng had already killed six members of the Creator Organization, enough to form a basketball team with a substitute left.

Lu Heng showed a dangerous smile and said, "Then you'd better remind other members of the organization not to reach out to Daxia. You want me to turn a blind eye to your actions when you touch my people on my territory? You are just dreaming."

013 fell silent.

The cause of this incident was indeed that the Knights of the Round Table extended their hands to Daxia, and even assassinated and threatened the Tempering Master in Daxia.

Lu Heng is the highest-level quencher in Daxia and controls the largest quenching market.

The actions of the Knights of the Round Table are touching Lu Heng's cake.

If they have to tolerate this, then it is reasonable for Lu Heng to come to the Lionheart Empire and affect the interests of the Knights of the Round Table.

The Creator Organization originally would not care about the conflicts of interest among the major forces.

This time, 013 appears because Mordred is a member of the Creator Organization.

Lu Heng's reasons for taking action were also reasonable. Since the Knights of the Round Table dared to come to Daxia to assassinate the Tempering Master, they must bear the consequences for this matter.

Obviously, Mordred took the consequences, but he couldn't bear them.

If he wins this battle, the quenching market in Daxia will belong to the Knights of the Round Table.

It's that simple.

In an era where strength is paramount, the solution to problems becomes very direct.

The one with the big fist holds the truth.

……

013 knew very well that the blame for this matter could not be pinned on Lu Heng, so he changed his topic and said, "When will we get Derek Wolf's flesh and blood cells?"

This was the task issued the last time 013 appeared.

Lu Heng responded coldly: "Don't tell me what to do. Last time I asked for Sykes's technology information, I gave it to you because I saw that you had solved the Dementor crisis. Don't tell me to do anything unless you give me a satisfactory exchange condition in the future."

Moreover, it was actually 027, Xie Shien, who solved the Dementor crisis.

Interestingly, Xie Shien is not actually a member of the Creator Organization.

In other words, it was not the Creator Organization but Master Xie who helped Lu Heng solve the Dementor crisis.

At this moment.

Lin Zeyu's voice came from the communication channel: "I got a new gun. Do you want to try and see if you can kill this birdman with one shot?"

As he spoke, he was already aiming at 013 through the scope.

013 has strong mental strength and possesses a special sense of danger like a wild beast, so he felt a hint of danger.

"Okay, next time we meet, I'll give you a satisfactory exchange." 013 said as he opened his arms and turned into a black crow and flew into the sky.

Lin Zeyu's crosshairs also moved up and he kept aiming.

"Shoot?"

"Forget it." Lu Heng finally decided to let the crow leave.

If we kill Yin Ya every time, after a few times, the Creator Organization will definitely find out.

This time, it makes sense to kill Mordred, and there's no need to silence 013, so he can be let go.

After killing Mordred and the ghost sniper Harris Bob, Lu Heng and the other two left the capital of the Lionheart Empire and boarded a plane back to Binhai.

……

In a wine estate in Manchester, a noblewoman used scissors to cut a bunch of grapes from the vine and put them into a tray held by a servant beside her.

This noble lady is Margaret, the current important figure of the Planta family.

If you just look at her appearance, you can't tell that she is in her sixties. She looks to be in her forties at most.

She looks like a woman in her forties, but has a heart of a woman in her sixties, which makes her calm and composed in a way that doesn't match her appearance.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came in and saluted respectfully: "Madam, something happened to the Knights of the Round Table. Mordred is dead."

When Lady Margaret heard this, she paused for a moment, handed the scissors to the servant, walked back to the house, and asked, "What's going on?"

The butler bowed his head and replied, "A Daxia man named Lu Heng attacked the Thames base. Mordred went to pursue him and was killed."

"A person from Daxia?" Lady Margaret looked indifferent and did not take the word Daxia seriously.

"Yes, according to the information we have, it was the Knights of the Round Table who assassinated the Temperer in Daxia, which angered this person and led to this incident. After the other party killed Mordred, he left a message threatening us not to extend our hands to Daxia." The butler told all the information he had heard.

Lady Margaret took the cup handed to her by the servant, drank a sip of the scarlet liquid inside, and asked, "What do the other Knights of the Round Table say?"

The butler was silent for a moment before answering, "The other Knights of the Round Table intend to temporarily stop their actions against the Great Xia Temperer and continue after they find a way to resolve the resistance."

Madam Margaret glanced at the butler and said, "We have obtained the quenching furnace and invested the funds. If we stop now, what's the point of raising those Knights of the Round Table?"

The butler bowed his head and replied, "I understand. I will notify the Knights of the Round Table and ask them to solve the problem."

Lady Margaret waved her hand and asked the housekeeper to leave. Finally, she added, "You don't need to bother me with such trivial matters in the future. Mercenaries are hired to solve problems, not to create them."

"Understood." The butler nodded in agreement and retreated.

……

Daxia, Binhai City.

Only after Lu Heng and the other two returned home did they have time to review the gains from their trip to the Lionheart Empire.

In fact, Lin Zeyu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling on his way back.

After returning home, he immediately took it out to show off: "I thought the Round Table Knights' Ghost Sniper was so powerful, being able to shoot at a range of 3,000 meters, it turns out that it relies on a sniper rifle. Look at this sniper rifle, the data is amazing."

On the way back, Lu Heng had heard him mention it several times.

However, it is not convenient to take out this sniper rifle and look at it while on the plane.

When Lu Heng saw the sniper rifle that Lin Zeyu took out, he recognized what it was at a glance.

This is actually an electromagnetic accelerated sniper rifle, which uses two acceleration schemes, gunpowder and electromagnetic catapult, making the initial velocity of the bullet very high.

[Electromagnetic Acceleration Sniper Rifle Z-100 (+9)]

[Item Level: A-level]

[Specifications: length 132 cm, weight 5.3 kg, magazine capacity 20 rounds]

[Attributes: 1025 attack power (attack power decreases as the bullet flies farther, attenuated by 1000% at a distance of 50 meters)] [Initial velocity: 1521 meters/second]

[Evaluation: This is a sniper rifle that combines the two technologies of gunpowder kinetic energy and electromagnetic acceleration. It has extremely high accuracy and destructive power. The attack power of thermal weapons is determined by the gun body and bullets, and cannot obtain the user's strength attribute bonus. ]

After Lu Heng saw the data, it was similar to what he had imagined.

This sniper rifle is a product of the combination of gunpowder kinetic energy firearms and electromagnetic kinetic energy firearms, and has very strong attack power.

Relatively speaking, this electromagnetic accelerated sniper rifle is faster than the Gauss sniper rifle when firing, and it has the characteristics of both gunpowder kinetic energy weapons and electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons.

This sniper rifle is a transitional product in the technological innovation of sniper rifles.

According to the development laws of the cyber world, sniper rifles will gradually transform into electromagnetic kinetic energy sniper rifles in the future. However, when the technology is not yet mature, this transitional product can apply electromagnetic acceleration technology to sniper rifles in advance.

The initial velocity of the bullet of this sniper rifle can reach an astonishing 1521 meters per second.

In other words, if we ignore the speed of sound when the bullet slows down after leaving the barrel, it only takes two seconds to hit the target at a distance of 3000 meters.

Just think about how terrifying this muzzle velocity is and you will understand.

The speed of sound is 340 meters per second. The initial velocity of the bullet of this electromagnetic acceleration sniper rifle is almost 5 times the speed of sound.

The moment the gunshot was heard, the target was already dead.

Of course, even with this weapon, it is not easy to hit the target at a distance of 3000 meters.

It also requires other skills and class abilities.

With this electromagnetic acceleration sniper rifle, the initial velocity of the bullet is enough to hit the target at a distance of 3000. It depends on whether the sniper has such high accuracy.

Since Lin Zeyu descended from the abyss, he has been taking the route of firearms enhancement. His initial talent is [Precision Shooting]. When using a sniper rifle, his hit rate is much higher than that of other psychics.

Therefore, if he gets this gun, he can also achieve a range of 3000 meters, and his accuracy may even be higher than that of the ghost sniper Harris Bob.

"How is it? The attack power has exceeded a thousand. This means one shot can kill one kid." Lin Zeyu stroked the casing of the sniper rifle with his hand, his eyes shining.

The only problem is that this sniper rifle does not have the spirit-infused special effect yet.

The spirit infusion process is a higher skill than the quenching process, and the success rate of low-level quenchers in spirit infusion is very low.

Moreover, the Knights of the Round Table mercenary organization has only had this sniper rifle for a short time, so they have not yet found the right materials for infusing it with spirit.

Harris Bob's status in the Knights of the Round Table mercenary organization is not as high as that of a knight like Mordred, so he has not been able to infuse spirit into this sniper rifle.

Lin Zeyu looked at the sniper rifle's data and asked, "Can this be infused with spirit? It doesn't have the spirit infusion special effect yet."

Lu Heng nodded and replied: "Okay."

Lin Zeyu felt a little bit sorry: "My SVD sniper rifle has dual special effects. If I change it to this sniper rifle now, will the materials I invested be wasted?"

Lu Heng explained: "That's not the case. If you are sure you don't want the SVD sniper rifle, you can extract the infusion material and quenching material of the SVD sniper rifle.

"However, there will be losses during extraction. Relatively speaking, quenching materials are easier to obtain, so I suggest only extracting spirit-infusing materials."

Lin Zeyu asked hurriedly: "If we extract all the materials, will this SVD sniper rifle be unusable?"

Lu Heng nodded and replied: "Of course, extracting the spirit-infusing materials will cause a certain degree of damage to the gun body. It may still be usable, but the accuracy will definitely decrease. It is basically scrapped."

Lin Zeyu frowned and said, "What if I'm not used to this new gun? Isn't that a bummer?"

Lu Heng replied: "Yes, so you have to think carefully before making a decision. You can use this new gun first, and if you think the effect is good, then extract the materials from the original one.

“Or you can directly use this SVD sniper rifle to exchange materials. After all, there is a possibility of failure in extracting the spirit-infused materials, and even if it succeeds, there will still be a certain amount of loss.

"This SVD sniper rifle is actually quite good. If it is used to exchange for spirit infusion materials, it is actually a good choice. It depends on whether there is any force that wants to exchange it."

It is now the end of December when the Abyss descends. At this point in time, although some weapons with spirit-infused special effects have appeared, the number is not large.

There are even fewer weapons with dual special effects, so this SVD sniper rifle is still a top-level weapon on the market.

If it were put up for auction, it could fetch a sky-high price.

Moreover, currently thermal weapons are still the first choice for many psychics, and sniper rifles are the best choice for killing targets at a long distance.

With Lu Heng's strength, he is indeed not afraid of sniper rifles, but he still needs to be careful in dealing with them.

If other psychics below level 25 were to encounter this SVD sniper rifle with double special effects, it would be difficult for them to resist.

Therefore, for other superpower organizations, this double-effects sniper rifle is a very scary weapon.

Generally speaking, if you extract the soul-infusing materials from the SVD sniper rifle, you will only get two portions of soul-infusing materials, provided that the extraction is successful.

After extracting the materials, the new weapon must be infused with spirit, and there is a chance of failure in the infusion.

After all this going back and forth, it is possible that the materials are gone and the spirit infusion failed.

By then, this SVD sniper rifle will be useless.

Moreover, in addition to the value of the spirit-infused materials, this SVD sniper rifle also has the value of the spirit-infused craftsmanship bestowed by Lu Heng, as well as the value of 2000 points of divine energy.

From the perspective of maximizing benefits, it is definitely better to exchange it for spirit infusion materials.

After listening to this, Lin Zeyu nodded and said, "That's right, I'll try and see if I can exchange it for spirit-infusing materials. For a dual-effect sniper rifle, I'm sure I'll need to exchange more than two spirit-infusing materials."

For many big forces, even if they have spirit-infused materials, they may not be able to create dual special-effect weapons.

After all, the only tempering master on Blue Star who has a relatively high success rate in infusing spirits is Lu Heng.

Tempering masters from other countries can only pile up materials and rely on multiple attempts to try to successfully infuse spirits.

Also.

Psychics also have other channels to obtain special effect weapons. For example, in the abyss battlefield, if they encounter a tempering master from the abyss world, they also have the opportunity to obtain spirit-infused special effect weapons.

Lin Zeyu has been using this SVD sniper rifle for more than half a year. He finds it very easy to use and is a little reluctant to give it up for the time being, so he decides to keep it for now. After he gets used to the new electromagnetic acceleration sniper rifle Z-100, he will decide to trade it.

However, as time goes by, the number of dual special effect weapons will gradually increase, and the value of this SVD sniper rifle will naturally decrease.

Lin Zeyu planned to practice shooting with the electromagnetic accelerated sniper rifle after he returned. After he became proficient in using it, he would consider how to sell the SVD sniper rifle.

……

In addition to this electromagnetic acceleration sniper rifle, Lu Heng also got a lot of trophies.

When I was at the Thames base, I obtained more than a dozen crystal cores, one of which was suitable for use as a skill crystal core.

However, when Lu Heng was on the road, he was still considering whether to use it.

Because this skill crystal core is [Dominating Will].

Lu Heng’s skill slot is now full and he cannot absorb new skill crystal cores.

However, the existing [Mind Control] skill is of the same type as [Dominate Will].

These two skills can be fused, and after fusion, there is a chance to obtain higher-level skills.

It depends on whether to integrate.

The reason why Lu Heng is still considering it is that he is considering whether this skill slot should always maintain this kind of spiritual skill.

Although Lu Heng's spiritual attribute is not low, he is definitely not a psychic.

If there is an option to delete skills in the world quest rewards obtained in the Abyss Battlefield in the future, you can actually empty this skill slot.

Then, you can learn new skills.

If you consider deleting this skill in the future, it would be a bit of a waste to use this [Command Will] crystal core now.

After all, this crystal core is of grade B, and its control effect is very strong.

After careful consideration, Lu Heng finally decided to keep this skill. Even if there are world quest rewards in the future, he can choose other ones.

There is a mental skill that is very useful in many cases.

For example, when we were in Blackrock City before, if we had this skill, it would not have been so troublesome to find the traitor.

At that time, it was necessary to rely on a psychic named Zhao Liwen to carry out mental torture.

Since Zhao Liwen herself could not completely rule out the possibility of a betrayer, the mental torture she conducted was also uncertain.

If the person who had the mental torture skills at that time was someone in his own team, things would be much simpler and the betrayer could be found in a few minutes.

After careful consideration, Lu Heng chose to absorb the crystal core of [Commanding Will], introducing 1200 points of divine energy to fuse the skills.

After the two skills were merged, the final fusion was B-level [Spiritual Control], and the skill effect was slightly stronger than [Control of Will].
