Chapter 371: Evolution Virus Buffing Potion (Intermediate)
“Let me!”
Just when everyone had their foreheads creased, Feng Luo sounded out.
“24K!”
Feng Luo reached out and passed the little fellow on his shoulder an Energy Crystal, and pointed at the glittering prizes on top of the Giant Octopus Commander.
“Tch, ba tch!”
24K grabbed onto the Energy Crystal with its two little front limbs and squeaked, shaking its little golden head.
In the beetle army, there was not only the combat troops but also specific beetles for logistics and to clean up the battlefield!
Whoo!
A black hole appeared at the middle of the platform over 10 meters from everyone!
“Buzz, buzz!”
Right after, two Gatherer Beetles, shaped like scorpions and with a body size of about 30 centimeters, had already flown out flapping their wings.
Then, they immediately flew swiftly towards the shiny prizes on top of the Giant Octopus!
The last few remaining Elite beetles and over 10 white small Energy Beetles quickly climbed towards the hole as well, lining up to return to an unknown place through the newly-opened wormhole.
“Ah, 24K is so awesome, it can even summon beetles! Big Brother Feng, what’s the name of this type of beetle?”
Azure was clearly a little blue due to Watermelon Skin’s death.
But seeing 24K actually “summoning” such a type of beetle never seen before, she had become interested!
“These are Gatherer Beetles!”
Feng Luo said briefly.
Even if it was not an explanation, players would be able to search up the information through their personal terminal – Normal beetles were not as difficult to search up as 24K, but more related to wild organisms.
However, these two beetles were not completely Normal Gatherer Beetles, but two Elite-Grade Gatherer Beetles of above Level 30!
Elite Beetles had had the ability to fly a specific distance, although their speed was not considered fast, it was not very far between here and where the Giant Octopus quasi-BOSS had produced the stuff.
Therefore, over 20 seconds later, the two Gatherer Beetles had already flown back with plump stomachs, then placed the pile of prizes in their two claws into Feng Luo’s hands.
However, after completing this series of actions, 24K’s Psionic Energy was finally completely used up.
After all the beetles had left via the wormhole, it was kept back into the Pet Space to rest by Feng Luo. Before the completion of its “evolution”, it should totally have no ability to participate in combat!
In Feng Luo’s hands, there were four metallic spiral test-tube potions slightly different in color, more than 10 Energy Crystals of different quality, and a small Blueprint Manufacturing Chip!
“Ah, there’s actually no equipment?”
Seeing that there was actually no equipment, the other people had slight disappointment on their faces. After all, logically speaking, a quasi-BOSS would definitely produce Rare equipment!
However, as their line of sight fell onto the two blue spiral test-tube potions in Feng Luo’s hands, everyone became interested again!
“Permanent Enhancement Potions!”
Without a doubt, everyone had recognized the identity of the two potions.
They were two basic T-Virus permanent Enhancement Potions – the main attribute enhanced by one was “Strength”, while the main attribute enhanced by the other was “Vitality”!
Besides Feng Luo, everyone’s eyes had lit up looking at the two Enhancement Potions; the Fire Manipulator player’s breath had even quickened slightly.
It was rather the other faint purple test-tube potions that were neglected by them after being glanced at just once.
Because these two test-tube potions were not permanent Enhancement Potions but “instant buffing” potions!
[Evolution Virus (Unnamed · Intermediate) Buffing Potion · Type 1]
Earned after use: HP +1750, Vitality +40, additional HP recovery of 4% per second. Lasts for one minute, with 30 minutes cooldown period!
Grade: Excellent
Basic Usage Level Required: 50
...
[Evolution Virus (Unnamed · Intermediate) Buffing Potion · Type 5]
Earned after use: Strength +80, Agility +40, additional Stamina recovery of 4% per second. Lasts for one minute, with 30 minutes cooldown period!
Grade: Excellent
Basic Usage Level Required: 50
[“Warning: usage of multiple buffing potions at once will result in a series of negative side-effects or abnormal changes, which will greatly lengthen the cooldown period of the potion type!”]
Both potions were buffing potions which lasted for one minute.
Even though the enhanced attributes were powerful, it still felt to everyone that the value was naturally incomparable to the permanently attribute-enhancing Enhancement Potion.
However, Feng Luo’s line of sight was completely contrasting to the others; his eyes landed on the two potions neglected by everyone else, specifically speaking, landed on the word “Intermediate” in the attributes!
The T-Virus was only a basic evolution virus, whereas what was produced by the Giant Octopus, which had evolved into a quasi-BOSS after being infected, was a potion carrying the name “Intermediate”!
Wasn’t this a bit strange?
Not strange!
Feng Luo had already understood from Lin that the “evolution viruses” in the game had been set to be a kind of “self-evolutionary type” virus which was able to rapidly fuse with the genes of different organisms and carry the organisms’ genes while intruding, and which were extremely easy to be mutated!
These different evolution viruses were known as “variants”!
There were many types of variants; the ones that Feng Luo knew were the T, W and also the “primitive virus” gotten by Lin previously from within the Silverleaf Island base!
Clearly, after the T-Virus had entered the Giant Octopus’s body, due to certain reasons, a mutation similar to that Guard soldier at Roguetown happened.
The Giant Octopus did not zombify, but rather successfully “evolved” into a quasi-BOSS, while the T-Virus had also successfully “evolved” into an even stronger variant.
“Intermediate evolution virus!”
If it were other players who were not very clear about this plot, they probably would have also treated the two potions as “more rad” buffing potions and auctioned them off at over hundred thousand credits!
But Feng Luo was different – he was one who had reached “trustful” in his relationship with “Lin” who was Master Level at three disciplines.
He had on him the Epic-Level mission to “help Lin perfect the W-Virus evolution virus”– the use of these two Intermediate buffing potions to him was much more than to others!
“I’ll take these two buffing potions and this Manufacturing Chip, as for the others, you all can discuss how to split them!”
Feng Luo said directly, seeing that everyone was looking intently at the permanent Enhancement Potions.
“Ah!”
Hearing this, everyone looked up towards him, a bit surprised.
It was not that there were too many things which Feng Luo wanted – there were too few things he wanted!
They had all looked through the attributes of the two buffing potions; they had to admit that the attributes of these two buffing potions were completely able to surpass all the current buffing potions!
17500 of HP, 120-point basic attribute, super Stamina every second, and 100% HP recovery!
Every attribute was definitely unattainable by the buffing potions currently created by players; if it was taken to the auction, it would have been able to be auctioned at over hundred thousand or even 200,000.
As for the Manufacturing Chip, everyone had seen that it was just a D-Grade special submachine gun bullet blueprint.
It was just a D-Grade bullet and furthermore a bullet used by submachine guns and assault rifles; other than to Feng Luo who was the only ammunitionist, it was of not much of use to the others. Moreover, the value of the blueprint was at most only 100,000 credits!
Summing it up, the three items that Feng Luo took were probably worth at most 500,000 credits in the market!
Whereas the current market value of Enhancement Potions was more than 5,000,000 credits each!
Feng Luo taking prizes of only 1/20 of the total value undoubtedly made them wonder if they had heard wrong. Was Feng Luo actually saying that he was going to take two permanent Enhancement Potions instead!?
“These two buffing potions are of a certain usefulness to me, I’m personally an ammunitionist, so this bullet blueprint is also useful...”
Feng Luo explained briefly – this was also in order to prevent possible trouble in the future!
With these two Intermediate buffing potions and then gathering some of the Giant Octopus quasi-BOSS’s plasma and body structures back to give to “Lin”, the collaborated company between him and Lin in Storm City would perhaps be able to bring another new item into the market!
What about the permanent Enhancement Potions?
Feng Luo was very clear that with the Biohazard plot engaged, once the T-Virus Enhancement Potion was able to be produced by killing monsters and to be exchanged for, its value would definitely fall down a straight line!
Don’t even say 5,000,000, it was very likely that the two Enhancement Potions now would not be sold if they were to be put up at the Exchange.
Because many people would be observing and continuing to monitor the situation, and naturally, following the progress of the Biohazard Crisis, the price of basic Enhancement Potions would still continue to fall to a suitable point.
Besides, the D-Grade bullet blueprint Manufacturing Chip was indeed not considered to be rare, even though the bullet attributes were decent.
It must be known, among Feng Luo’s prizes, other than the two Intermediate evolution virus buffing potions, there was still another prize in his inventory, and that was the sci-fi version Rare submachine gun produced by the Scout player from before!
The attributes of this rifle were not bad indeed, and if the Rare attribute of the rifle was matched with the effects of the D-Grade bullet, it seemed to be even better!
And it seemed like his “Light Armored Warrior Scout” plan was still lacking in a suitable submachine gun?
...
Upon being certain that Feng Luo indeed was not prepared to choose the permanent Enhancement Potions, the others heaved a sigh of relief and their eyes shone with delight.
After all, with Feng Luo lending out equipment and firearms, and with his Elite beetle army contribution level, even if he had first chosen the two permanent Enhancement Potions, they probably would have had nothing much to say.
But Feng Luo had actually voluntarily given up on the permanent Enhancement Potions which had the highest value – the remaining people could better split among themselves.
The conclusion of the discussion on splitting had quickly been decided!
My World’s team got one of the T-Virus permanent Enhancement Potions.
Skynet and Ultimate Heavy Armor got the other T-Virus permanent Enhancement Potion, but needed to put it up on the Exchange and auction it off, where 10% and 30% of the credit earnings would have to be given to Watermelon Skin and the Fire Manipulator player respectively!
As for the pile of Energy Crystals worth more than 30,000 credits, they had decided to give them to Feng Luo to compensate for his losses in the battle!
The casual Fire Manipulator did not get anything, but as an old player from Silvermoon City, the spot in Silvermoon City where the Veterans Tribe was situated was worth his trust, in addition to everyone having signed the electronic contract, and so he had nothing to debate about.
However, after this plot, whether the Veterans Tribe would still be able to stand in Silvermoon City...
