The First Evolution

Chapter 366: Gift of the Twisted Forest

Then Max went to buy a special potion to soak the encrypted files, which he could do in the store by himself without help.

Fang Linyan found a Starbucks outside and sat down, leaning on the recliner and basking in the sun, then he opened the bloody key obtained by killing Kanner.

Contestant ZB419, the Bloody Value of the enemy you killed is 2 points. The drop rate of high-value items or skills will increase by 20%.

At the same time, if you have 2 points of Bloody Value, the drop rate of high-value items/skills will increase by an additional 10%!

The drop rate of high-value items of this bloody treasure will be increased by an additional 30%, This option will be applied in options 1, 2, and 3.

Because if you choose the first option, this contractor may theoretically have gold potential points and bloody potential points.

You can choose one of the following options as your loot.

1. Obtain 70% of the remaining potential points and common points from the deceased.

2. Randomly obtain 3 items (including equipment) in the storage space of the deceased.

3. There is an 80% chance to obtain a scroll of a certain ability of the deceased. The ability level after learning the scroll will directly inherit the ability level of the deceased without paying any cost, but the learning requirements remain the same.

Fang Linyan hesitated for a moment. He intended to choose the first item, because to be honest, he was currently short of potential points as he had almost never obtained potential points from the adventure worlds.

He also talked about this when he chatted with Max before, and Max told him that according to the patterns they had found out so far, only the main mission would reward merit points and attribute points.

The side mission had a higher probability of rewarding potential points.

The hidden mission rewards were related to the content of the mission itself, covering a wider range.

Fang Linyan thought back, and he found that it was indeed like this. He had been focusing on milestones before. This was also something that couldn’t be helped. If he fought alone, he definitely couldn’t do everything himself.

But just before choosing the first option, Fang Linyan changed his mind again, because he was not a person who liked to take risks.

According to Max’s description, Kanner was a main scout, but he was actually an all-rounder. To create such a well-rounded character, the probability of having extra potential points and common points was low.

Therefore, he chose the second item with stable benefits and obtained 3 items.

As the light shone, the first thing that got drawn was rotten guinea pig oil, indicating that it was a casting material that was about to expire.

Fang Linyan sighed and sold it directly to the Space for 30 common points.

The second item that was drawn was a cleaned red radish. This item made Fang Linyan sigh again. It states that it was food. After eating, the health recovery rate would increase by 1 every second (not combat state), and the duration lasted for 60 seconds. Fang Linyan could reluctantly keep it, although it was not worth much.

However, the third item he drew made him excited.

“This is……. equipment?”

Name: Shadow Leather Pauldron

Background:

The Shadow Wolf Clan living in the twisted forest were brutally hunted and killed by humans. Shameless humans used guerrilla tactics to harass them to the point of misery.

However, during a certain raid on the caravan, they discovered that among the cargo was a war wolf with gray hair and a missing leg.

This old war wolf claimed to have come from a distant place called Mag’har. It happened to encounter a big explosion when passing through the teleportation array, so it was brought here by the time-space turbulence.

This old war wolf was once ridden by a warrior, so it learned an ability called [Ensnare]. It passed it on to the Shadow Wolf Clan, causing big trouble for those damn hunters.

Place of Origin: North of the Zaun City

Equipment Rarity: Black

Equipment Slot: Shoulder

Material: Rattan, Stone Beetle Carapace, Shadow Wolf Pelt

Weight: 2.2kg

Required Conditions: 12 Strength, 8 Agility, 8 Perception

Equipment Special Effect: {Wolf Dexterity} (passive effect), increase the wearer’s defense by 5, and agility +1

Equipment Special Effect: [Ensnare] (low-level), throws a shadow vine net at the target, restricting its movement. The throwing distance is 20 meters. When the shadow vine net hits the enemy, the results will be judged.

When the enemy’s strength is greater than 20, the shackles of the shadow vine net will be torn directly without any influence.

When the enemy’s strength is in the range of 12-20 points, he will be slowed by 50% for 4 seconds (PVP)/ 8 seconds (plot characters).

When the enemy’s strength is lower than 12 points (including 12 points), they will be bound in place and unable to move for 3 seconds (PVP) / 6 seconds (plot characters)

The [Ensnare] had a 60 seconds cooldown.

The [Ensnare] is not a locking skill, and its landing point cannot be changed after throwing. The shadow vine net has a certain flight time in the air, so it is necessary to predict the enemy’s actions.

The [Ensnare] can only be used 3 times a day. It will be refreshed at 12 am every night.

The [Ensnare] has priority.

Equipment Special Negative Effect: {Wolf Resentment}. The current resentment value (15 points)

This piece of pauldron contains the remnants of a shadow wolf, so it can cast [Ensnare], but the pain and anger before its death are still tormenting it all the time. You must regularly spray the fresh blood of powerful creatures on the pauldron to dispel its resentment.

Once the resentment exceeds 50 points, one of the 2 positive special effects of this equipment will be invalidated randomly.

Once the resentment exceeds 100 points, all bonuses of this equipment will be completely disabled.

The more powerful the blood of the creature is, the slower the resentment value will be generated.

Evaluation: A good swimmer drowns in water. If this shadow wolf hadn’t learned [Ensnare], it wouldn’t have come out to hunt humans alone and was killed in the end. Its fur was even skinned and made into equipment.

After getting this pauldron, Fang Linyan’s eyes immediately brightened. Because the TK Stick Grenade had been used up, he lacked a means in restricting the enemy’s movement speed. The equipment could make up for it.

After equipping this pauldron, Fang Linyan tried to use the [Ensnare]. He found that the flying speed of the shadow vine net was not that fast.

Fortunately, it didn’t require him to have the rope looped into the neck like a lasso, but to just hit any part of the target. This greatly reduced the difficulty.

In addition, Fang Linyan also had Basic Shooting LV4, so it was still easy to cast it. However, if he were to use it to initiate it on a prepared contractor 20 meters away, it would be difficult.

At this time, Max strode out excitedly and said in admiration.

“Wrench, you are absolutely right. It indeed tells me to find Eyrie now.”

Fang Linyan’s eyes brightened as he said,

“En, tell me the details?”

Max took out the seemingly ordinary document. After the thing was soaked with a special potion, the handwriting that emerged on it was completely different.

It turned out that the wording in this document was very harsh. It seemed to be reprimanding Kuwan Tiss.

It was said that the excuses he raised before were all unreasonable. Now he had wasted a lot of money and resources on his girlfriend Eyrie, but she had not yet been able to get the specific location of the launch site.

Finally, it threatened Kuwan Tiss that if he couldn’t get the password before October of this year, the organization would severely punish them.

Therefore, Max’s current serial side mission was to find Eyrie and obtain the specific location of the launch site.

After reading the contents of this document, Fang Linyan nodded silently. The information coincided with the information he had found before.

“Let’s go.” Fang Linyan said to Max.

Max curiously said,

“Where are we going?”

Fang Linyan said succinctly,

“SPX Corporation, Eyrie should be a senior executive in it.”

Immediately afterward, Fang Linyan told Povi,

“Help me book a ticket to Houston and rent a car. By the way, I’m not going alone this time. Please book another ticket for me. His number is…”

4 hours later,

Fang Linyan and Max were already standing at the gate of the SPX Corporation in Houston.

The appearance of this building was completely different. It had brand-new dark blue exterior glass and graceful lines. It looked like a flying saucer passing by at a high speed, full of technological and cool feelings.

On the way here, Max already had a basic understanding of this corporation.

This corporation was not simple, because it had created a brand-new industry. That was space tourism.

The full name of SPX was Space Exploration Technology Corporation. Its service scope covered many high-end businesses such as space travel/space service/satellite launch.

As far as the technology of this world was concerned, not to mention space travel, even the counties that had mastered the launch of disposable rockets to send satellites into orbit were less than 10.

However, SPX Corporation came from a private enterprise, but it had completely surpassed most countries in this field. Its power could be imagined!

The key was that its BOSS, Yaron Musk, had just turned 40 years old, and he was the CEO + CTO of the corporation!!

At the beginning, nobody knew about this corporation, but its top executives were said to have a close relationship with NASA, relying on some works given by NASA to survive.

But 5 and a half years later, Yaron Musk directly acquired the corporation. 8 months later, the corporation shocked the world with a landmark achievement.

That was, after the self-developed vulture heavy rocket was successfully launched, it flew around the Earth and return safely!!

Ahem, to be honest, this Yaron Musk was truly a living legend.

TL: Will they fight Team Koi before launching the rocket?
