Chapter 688: Chapter 399: Expedition to the Starry Sea (4K)
Lord Shepherd fell into deep thought.
"Two paths?"
In fact, the advanced form of the Fierce Gun Ranger is the Holy Gun Ranger; they are a continuous line of troop types.
Mu Yuan\'s previous idea was to form a Holy Gun Corps in the future, covering the city defenses with firepower to sweep away the Monster Tide.
The range of the Holy Gun Ranger was shorter than the Arrow of Polar Star, playing to their advantage in city defenses or field encounters.
However, human forces spend the majority of their time on the defensive against monster power, with city defense battles occurring far more frequently than siege battles.
The survival and maneuverability of the Gunner Master were not as good as the Holy Gun Ranger, but its range was longer, allowing for saturation fire.
Mu Yuan had seen videos of a Legendary Realm Gunner Master single-handedly holding off and bombarding an entire Monster Tide. Hundreds of thousands of cannonballs whistled across the Azure Sky, as dazzling laser beams tore through the earth and a dense barrage interwove a symphony of the battlefield.
The Gunner Master indeed met his needs more, but why did this evolutionary option appear?
Was this Fierce Gun Ranger somewhat special?
Mu Yuan thought not.
This Fierce Gun Ranger wasn\'t bad, the proximity to awakening its self-awareness an inch away since birth; yet such \'talent\' in Tianyuan City was but mediocre, nothing out of the ordinary.
So it must be...
"Has the Evo-power itself evolved?"
"Hmm, it might be that the last evolution of the Evo-power included this change, it\'s just that I hadn\'t noticed it."
With a thought, Mu Yuan immediately switched to the Lord\'s perspective.
He gazed down at the distant Skeleton Cemetery, focused on an ordinary-looking Skeleton Soldier, and tried something on it.
\'Evolve: Skeleton Warrior\'
\'Evolve: Skeleton Archer\'
It was indeed feasible.
However, there was no option for the Skeleton Mage to pop up.
He then turned his attention to a Skeleton General, who was absorbing the black mist to meditate. Explore more adventures at mvl
\'Evolve: Skeleton Lord\'
But no second option appeared.
Mu Yuan stroked his chin, pondering for a while, and came up with two possibilities.
"One is compatibility, crossing lines of evolution need to meet a prerequisite of whether it\'s suitable or not. Clearly, the difference between the Holy Gun Ranger and the Gunner Master is not that big, at least they are both human and both use firearms, with many overlapping skills as well."
"The other, might have to do with my own awareness."
He was not unfamiliar with the Epic class of Gunner Master.
After all, the Holy Gun, Gunner Master, Arrow of Polar Star, Fearless War Commander, these types of troops, were quite common Epics — within human forces.
He knew a bit about the Gunner Master, hence the second possibility appeared.
"Proceed with the \'Gunner Master\' route of evolution?"
"This evolution will consume 6000 units of Evolution Points."
A bit expensive.
But reasonable.
Evolve then.
The glow of the miracle descended.
In the white light, a new Fierce Gun quickly underwent metamorphosis, with its self-awareness emerging, and amidst its still fuzzy understanding, or better said, a blank slate of memory, rapidly endowed with the mark of the Gunner Master.
He was like a pristine sponge, quickly absorbing profound knowledge.
\'Ding!\'
\'Notification: Your troop \'Gunpowder\' bathed in the glow of the miracle has evolved into an Epic One-star Life \'Gunner Master\'.\'
\'Notification: \'Gunpowder\' has had an epiphany during evolution, awakening the talent \'Gun Arsenal (intrinsic space to store firearms and cannons)\', and the talent \'Guns Mastery\' has been enhanced.\'
\'Notification: \'Gunpowder\' has had an epiphany during evolution, awakening skills \'Multishot\', \'Overload Shot\', \'Laser Cannon\',...\'
\'Notification: \'Gunpowder\' has during this evolution, awakened the Epic Skill \'Infinite Firepower\'.\'
"It\'s actually this skill."
Mu Yuan had seen many videos and data about Gunner Masters, but he really couldn\'t be certain which Epic Skill a Gunner Master possessed.
The names and information of Epic Skills were strategic-level intelligence.
He couldn\'t get them through public channels, not even if he paid for them.
To understand these, one must be very familiar with a Lord\'s household that has this type of troop.
Of course, the Epic Skills that a Gunner Master might possess are not necessarily limited to this one. But undoubtedly, Infinite Firepower is the most fitting skill for a Gunner Master.
"No wonder the Gunner Master can stand against an army alone, hailed as the strongest troop type for eradicating the Monster Tide."
\'Infinite Firepower\'
\'Description: For the duration of the skill, the rate of fire for all firearms and cannon weapons of the Gunner Master significantly increases, the state of the firearms stays constant, and additionally, the Gunner Master wields unlimited ammunition for his firearms and cannon weapons during the duration.\'
\'Note: The duration of this skill is quite short.\'
This is the terrifying aspect of Infinite Firepower!
A Legendary Realm Gunner Master used Infinite Firepower, the extent of his artillery coverage could rival that of Duo Lai.
Capable of turning vast areas into scorched, fissured earth in a short span of time.
Of course, Duo Lai had already embarked on the path of space, using saturation strikes primarily for chopping vegetables.
Afterward, Mu Yuan used the \'Gunner Master\' template to personally experience this Epic troop type and gained a truly deep understanding of it.
"This is a technical troop type, not as simple as it seems on the surface, merely needing to shoot rapidly and bombard loudly."
The Gunner Master inherently possessed Guns Mastery, able to skillfully manipulate a variety of firearm weapons, while also having proficient shooting techniques.
Just as Archers come with archery skills, Sentinels possess certain firearm techniques.
The advantage of a troop type over a normal person\'s class change lies here.
