Chapter 580: Skill Enhancement Chip

Deep underwater, it had brightened. The white light radiating from dozens of prizes illuminated the huge area.

As a Level 50 Quasi-Boss, the loot produced this time were not stingy at all; although most of the things were low-grade Energy Crystals with a low monetary value, there were also a few pieces of equipment and a few types of Rare material.

For a Quasi-Boss, regardless whether it was equipment or material, they definitely had high value. Not to mention that there would be at least one piece of Rare equipment and the quality of Rare material would be good.

However, Feng Luo’s focus at the moment was not on these equipment and material. It was on the exceptionally bright orange light in the middle of the bunch of white light.

“Legendary? How’s this possible?” Feng Luo suspected if his eyes had seen incorrectly.

Looking at the collection during this period of time, only Bosses of Level 50 and above would have a certain chance of producing Legendary equipment. To guarantee the chance, one had to kill “super Bosses” of Level 55 and above.

This giant Sea Serpent was not above Level 50, and was only a Quasi-Boss; furthermore, it was not killed by one person or a small number of players, there was no possibility of deluxe items. No matter how it was seen, it was impossible for this Quasi-Boss giant Sea Serpent to produce Legendary equipment.

What surprised him was that all the prizes floated in the water, unmoving; while that orange light seemed to be churned by the seawater, shifting towards him.

“Hm, this thing looks like...” Feng Luo immediately saw what this loot radiating an orange light was.

It was not a piece of equipment but a Chip he had previously seen before, a Force Skill-Fusion Chip.

The first system reward for Feng Luo’s Force Awakening was a Skill Fusion Chip – its capability was being able to upgrade a skill into a powerful Force skill.

Since the prize had automatically moved to him, Feng Luo certainly took it.

[Force Skill-Fusion Chip]

Upon usage, the player gains the ability to upgrade an existing skill into a Force skill. The skill’s ultimate effect would be determined by the compatibility between the player’s Force attribute and the upgraded skill.

(Pick-up requirement: kill contribution of >10%, bound upon pick-up, not to be transacted or dropped.)

The attribute was the same as the previous Skill Fusion Chip, but this one had a “bound upon pick-up” message in its attribute and had pick-up requirements.

“I see...no wonder at the Exchange previously, there was no Force Skill-Fusion Chip for sale at all...” Seeing the Chip attribute, Feng Luo quickly understood why this would float to him on its own.

Even though it was a prize, among the players who participated in killing the giant Sea Serpent, only he fulfilled the “contribution of >10%.”

Just now, both Sword Ki Long River and the Earth Manipulator, although they had played quite a big role in taking down the giant Sea Serpent, as the number of people who participated was too large, their overall contribution could not possibly exceed 5%.

Other than his overall output damage being the highest among the solo players, he was able to have such a high contribution most importantly because of the fact that he followed the Sea Serpent underwater and killed it.

After all, if it was not for him who had given chase, the giant Sea Serpent probably would have successfully escaped – then what else was there to say about the kill?

Furthermore, as the last attack was completely on him, he had gotten an additional 5%, allowing his contribution to exceed 15%.

“Not just the contribution, there’s also the restriction of pick-up bound. This way, the value of this type of skill upgrade Chip probably would not be much inferior to Legendary equipment.” Seeing the last line of the Chip attribute, Feng Luo had speedily considered some information.

Initially, he had thought that the value of this Chip was not up to that of Legendary equipment.

After all, Legendary equipment technically could only come from Bosses, while this type of Force Skill-Fusion Chip was able to be produced by Quasi-Bosses as well.

Seeing the requirements of obtaining this Force Awakening Chip, Feng Luo knew that this certainly had quite some restriction.

While facing a Quasi-Boss creature of Level 50 and above, there would not be many people who had the ability to solely get a contribution of 10% and above in the kill, let alone the restriction of bound upon pick-up which dashed any hopes of purchasing it from the Exchange or from auctions.

Although Legendary equipment had high value, they were all able to be transacted; to rich players, all their Legendary equipment of tomorrow were not considered too huge a problem at all.

Thus, the gap in ability between rich players and truly top players would not be too large in the future.

After all, it was a game, equipment was definitely more welcomed.

However, the difficulty of getting a Force Skill-Fusion Chip was so large, and it was still pick-up bounded.

Feng Luo knew that even if there was a comparison between rich players and truly top players in future, there would definitely still be a gap in ability.

This was a rather good thing...

Feng Luo put the skill enhancement Chip into his backpack; other things were fine to let go of, but he would not give this to anyone.

In fact, what Feng Luo did not know was that there was another criterion for this Force Skill-Fusion Chip gotten from a Boss. That was for it to have a possibility of being produced, there must be a player with Force who had made much contribution in the process of killing the Boss.

...

As Feng Luo put the Force Skill-Fusion Chip into his backpack, the prizes that had levitated for a while started to float up towards the water surface above.

The prizes produced from monsters above the water surface would float on the water surface for some time regardless of their density – this was to make it convenient for players to pick up the equipment.

However, in the process of the huge number of prizes floating up with their white light, Feng Luo discovered that it seemed like there was a flash of a golden light of reflection in the dark depths below where the giant Sea Serpent had sunken.

“A golden light...” Feng Luo thought of something and turned to quickly swim down to the giant Sea Serpent below once more.

...

A minute later, Feng Luo emerged from the water surface.

What he saw was a calm sea, and the warship not far away, reversed and was rescuing the players who had fallen into the water.

The Level 55 Quasi-Boss Shark Turtle was nowhere to be seen.

On the water’s surface, quite a few players were scattered.

Knowing that this movement had to first go through the gray sea region, the players had been prepared – almost everyone had swimming devices in their backpacks.

As such, without the Shark Turtle’s attacks, they did not have to worry that they would drown and die before the warship came to their rescue.

“Wow, brother, you’ve finally come up.” As Feng Luo’s head emerged from the water, a familiar voice sounded from beside.

On a small semi-transparent yellow boat formed from Earth Energy by the “Energy Formation” skill, a young Earth Manipulator was staring at Feng Luo with interest.
