Chapter 60: Chapter 55: Purple Mark, Trial, Level 9 Combat Suit, Titanium Gun Repair_2
"At that time, only you, Brother Feng, could have stopped her, but you didn’t say a word to dissuade. You just stood silently behind Jiang Zhuo, watching..."
Liu Qian recalled the scene at that time. She and Liu Mingfei were busy gathering the wolf corpses and only glanced a few times.
Now looking back, Lin Feng standing there watching looked more like he was deliberately indulging Chen Shanshan’s benevolence, which ultimately led the team into an ambush due to negligence of duty.
If it wasn’t for Ding Yi, she would have definitely gotten hurt, or Ding Yi would have been injured.
So Liu Qian continued to ask:
"If later, Chen Shanshan still let that steward off, I think, Brother Feng, you would definitely leave the team and act alone from then on..."
"So, was that your test for Chen Shanshan?"
This matter had been lingering in Liu Qian’s heart for a long time. Although the responsibility during the last wolf hunt lay with the captain, Chen Shanshan, thinking it over carefully afterwards, the clues quickly became apparent.
Knowing in advance that there would be an ambush, after the wolf pack’s threat temporarily subsided, Lin Feng actually allowed Chen Shanshan to lend a hand rather than using her perception ability to guard against Qi Mountain’s group.
Then, when Qi Mountain launched a sneak attack, Lin Feng’s reaction was as if it had been anticipated. He turned swiftly and raised his gun to hit the opponent in an instant.
In just one or two seconds, he stopped the enemy from reloading.
Later, arranging for Chen Shanshan to pursue that steward was Lin Feng giving her one last chance.
And that slap not only stunned the others but also shattered the once timid and indecisive Chen Shanshan, making her quickly grow from a naive girl.
When the situation suddenly changed, Liu Qian didn’t react at once, but after a careful review afterwards, she noticed the blind points difficult for others to see.
It turned out that everything was under Lin Feng’s control.
From the moment he bought Jiang Zhuo from the slave market, Lin Feng had meticulously planned the subsequent task actions.
At this moment, the man resting at the end of the car slowly sat up and opened his eyes, looking at Liu Qian who also turned around:
"You’re overthinking it, everything was just done on the spot, adapting to circumstances."
"Since she is not fit to be a team leader, at least she must first become a qualified warrior..."
"I’m merely accelerating the qualification process."
"The wasteland needs no cowards. Those who decide whether the team stays or not... it’s not me, it’s her."
At this time, Liu Mingfei and the sisters Ah Lian had also finished washing and used the remaining water to clean the dirty clothes they wore before.
Lin Feng glanced at Liu Qian, lowered his head to stand up, and patted the dust off his butt:
"Let’s go, time to have dinner."
Returning to the bus inn, it was already seven in the evening.
Old Huang and Ding Yi had prepared dinner, and everyone ate a simple meal since they hadn’t expended much energy that afternoon.
After dinner, Chen Shanshan began checking her equipment, getting ready for the final preparations before departure.
The mysterious titanium gun of unknown level, Level 7 Armor-Piercing Horn Bow, Level 7 Shotgun, and Level 10 ordinary light battle armor.
Using maintenance oil bought from the Mechanical Village shop, she cleaned and lubricated them against rust.
Lin Feng also checked all his current equipment.
The upgraded Level 9 Alloy Steel Combat Suit:
"Alloy Steel Combat Suit Level 9, White Quality, Brand"
"Basic Attributes: Defense 30, Durability 10/10; Upgraded to Host Level Limit"
"Extra Attributes: Photovoltaic Panels (Remaining one-year usage); Cooling Fan; Alloy Steel Plate (Defense +15)"
"Evaluation: The combat suit with exhaust wind integrated into the steel plates, defense has been specially strengthened, and can resist late-stage desolate beasts’ impacts and attacks, as well as small-caliber bullets; weighs twenty pounds, suitable for late-stage enhanced people; activating its exhaust function can lower the perceived surface temperature by 10 degrees."
After branding, Lin Feng chose a defense effect twice among three enhancement directions, making the additional defense bonus from the alloy steel plate reach fifteen points.
A total of 45 defense points added, though not as good as Chen Shanshan’s Level 10 light battle armor, but far exceeding the ordinary white Level 7 and below combat suits.
Lin Feng also tried Liu Mingfei and Ah Lian’s newly bought combat suits, even when they inserted steel plates for fused upgrades, they only gained an additional defense of five points.
Eventually raising it to level nine cap, the defense was only 35 points, unable to withstand late-stage enhanced beast attacks.
It seems the effects of being able to specify enhancement directions through branding is more targeted and controllable compared to simple random item upgrades.
Bringing unexpected additional attribute bonuses.
Besides the Level 9 Alloy Steel Combat Suit, another crucial item is the Level 9 Precision Handgun, as Lin Feng’s source of combat power, it’s able to easily take down even a Tier One Rock-Horned Horse.
For Lin Feng, these two pieces of equipment, one for offense and one for defense, are a perfect match, while the remaining life value should not be wasted and must be reserved for the electric car that will be ready for delivery tomorrow.
There are also twenty ordinary photovoltaic panels waiting for him to upgrade their level, from Level 6 inferior to excellent.
Before sleeping, Lin Feng ate two pieces of one-pound wolf meat to repair the durability of Chen Shanshan’s mysterious titanium gun:
"Unknown Titanium Gun, Level Unknown, Quality Unknown"
"Basic Attributes: Damage 50, Durability 9/10, can consume 1 point Life Value to restore 1 point Durability"
"Extra Attributes: Spiral Gunhead (Damage +20)"
"Evaluation: Possibly remnants of a prehistoric advanced civilization, host level too low, cannot decipher."
The last time, restored to 6 points of durability allowed smooth switch to the Triangular Spiral Gunhead form, this time repaired to 90% with 9 durability points, increasing the basic damage by 30 points.
After 6 points of durability, each repaired durability point increased the damage by ten points on average.
And the mysterious patterns on the gun’s surface became more apparent.
As if some kind of hieroglyphics left by a prehistoric civilization.
