Zhan Yue opened the treasure chest he obtained, and inside was a metamorphosis gem.

[Item Name: Mortal Gem.]

Grade: Blue

Description: It can transform an ordinary item into a treasure, and various properties have been improved. The larger the volume, the stronger the function, and the more complex the structure, the lower the grade of the treasure and the certain chance of failure.

Requirements: None】

Zhan Yue said: "This giant snake was killed by both of us, and the loot should also be divided into two parts, this metamorphosis gem is useful to me, I will supply you with a green grade treasure, how about it?" ”

Zhan Yue, the clone puppet and the Golden Eagle are all level 5 combat power, while the Yang father and son only have level 4 combat power, accounting for at most 25% of the credit for hunting the giant snake, it is already fair to be able to share a green treasure, of course Yang Yonghao has no opinion.

The Yang family and his son were compensated by Zhan Yue for a stamina recovery potion, which was the only green-grade potion that could be produced at the gymnasium base, because Sang Ruo's success rate was not high, and it was not yet mass-produced.

In a previous life, someone once concluded that at the same level, the explosion rate of mutant beasts and the level of treasures that burst out were lower than those of zombies, and those with abilities guessed that this might be related to the mutant beasts and material harvest.

High-grade mutant snakes are treasures all over their bodies, snake meat can be eaten, snake skin can be used to make armor, and snake gall can also be used as a material for refining potions.

However, this snake gall had already been cut open by the golden eagle and devoured by itself.

Zhan Yue pulled a pair of curved snake teeth from the serpent's mouth, the fangs had fine serrations on both sides, extremely sharp, and the middle was empty, used to transmit venom.

However, the fangs are very tough overall, and if a good forger adds some forging materials to fill them, they can be refined into a pair of scimitars or daggers.

The venom gland is actually very useful, and it was put away by Zhan Yue.

The things on the giant snake, the Yang father and son only needed a few dozen catties of edible snake meat, and they didn't want anything else, because there were no forgers and dressmakers, and the materials such as snake skin and snake teeth were useless to them.

In the early days of the last days, there were too few professionals to sell materials.

The three feather arrows on the head of the giant snake were also put away by Zhan Yue, which was the toughest pale golden feather on the golden eagle's body, and handed it to Peng Yiyun, maybe it would be able to create a green-grade arrow.

After cleaning up the giant snake, Zhan Yue entered the tunnel to inspect and found that the quality of the tunnel was good, it was not blown up by the gas canister, but there were a lot of gravel and scrap iron on the ground, including more than a dozen cars that were blown up, which needed to be cleaned up before it could be opened to traffic.

As a result, during the clean-up process, Zhan Yue was pleasantly surprised to find a snake egg the size of a head, which was not destroyed by the explosion of the gas canister, and should have been coiled in the middle of the body by the giant snake at that time, and escaped a catastrophe.

It seems that the giant snake used the tunnel as its own snake cave and laid eggs in it.

However, this beast egg is not the exit of the treasure chest, and no one present knows how to identify it, so there is no way to know the specific grade of this beast egg.

The giant snake can evolve to level 6 in less than three months, obviously has a lot of potential, and there are also two talents, "Frost Breath" and "Venom Spray", at least it is also a green grade, if it can be hatched, it is definitely a good war pet.

Don't think that the green grade is too low, because it is difficult to hatch animal eggs, and it is only level 1 when born, and it takes long-term training from the master to have combat power.

Therefore, the grade of animal eggs is generally not high, and the highest grade animal eggs are only orange grade, and the number is extremely rare.

The eggs of the green grade are already at the medium level, and the war pets that hatch are the most mainstream in the first two years of the apocalypse, and their potential can also grow with their owners.

Zhan Yue didn't fancy this beast egg, and the cultivation of animal eggs is not an easy task, so it needs to be carefully considered.

Moreover, some people are reluctant to keep snake war pets.

He asked the Yang father and son if they wanted it, and Yang Yonghao and Yang Yancong immediately shook their heads and refused.

With the experience of teaming up to hunt monsters, the two sides got a lot closer.

After some conversation, Zhan Yue learned that the camp where the father and son used to live had been breached by a group of mutant beasts, and they were preparing to go to a military settlement near Xinglong City through the news on the forum.

Zhan Yue took out the map and glanced at it, and said: "There are still 200 kilometers away from Xinglong City, and you still have to walk 110 kilometers of highway, the road is more dangerous, we might as well go together, we can separate again in Chashan Town." ”

Yang Yonghao nodded in agreement, although he was very confident in the strength of his father and son, but when they encountered a monster like the giant snake, they could only escape.

Although they were in the same company, the two sides were not yet to the point of complete trust, so the Yang father and son did not get into the car, but still rode their motorcycles and followed behind the truck.

……

In the car, Zhan Yue took out the metamorphosis gem he got.

The function of the metamorphosis gemstone is very simple, it makes ordinary items become treasures, such as hardness, density, transparency, elasticity, toughness, ductility and other characteristics, or speed, power and other aspects of the performance, which has been greatly improved.

For example, a piece of clothing, after being transformed, has a much higher degree of toughness, and can defend against attacks from swords and bullets.

For example, an ordinary steel sword, after metamorphosis, its hardness, density, toughness and sharpness are greatly improved, and it can sharpen iron like clay, and it is not easy to break.

Or an electric shock rod, which would have stunned a person at most, but after metamorphosis, its power has been increased and it can electrocute an elephant to death.

What grade and performance can be transformed depends on what kind of item it is.

A piece of clothing and an aircraft carrier must have different results.

If a blue-grade gem is transformed into a small item with a simple function, there is a 50% chance that it will reach the blue grade, and the other half will be a green grade.

If it is a cold weapon, more than 90% of it may be green, and if it is a vehicle or other complex structure, it may be black or even gray.

If it is a super-large item with a complex structure such as an aircraft carrier or a mainline aircraft, it will definitely fail because it is out of range.

To transform a very large ship, it is necessary to have at least a gem of the grade above orange, and even if it is successful, it must be the lowest grade of gray.

However, treasures are treasures, even if it is the lowest-level gray grade aircraft carrier, its speed, seaworthiness, stability and sinking resistance and other performance, will definitely have a lot of improvement, to the extent that today's scientific and technological means cannot do.

These may have been summed up by Zhan Yue through what he had seen and heard in his previous life.

For the blue-grade metamorphosis gem in his hand, the best metamorphosis item that Zhan Yue could think of was a firearm.

The heavy-duty modified truck is too big, and if you are lucky enough to be in the gray grade, the probability of failure is very high.

Moreover, after the weight of the truck has been reduced by 10 tons, the current performance has been good, barely enough.

After thinking about it, Zhanyue chose a machine gun.

Not everyone can use a sniper rifle, Zhan Yue's marksmanship is very good, the distance of two or three hundred meters refers to where to hit, it is not too much to say that it is a sharpshooter, but if you use a sniper rifle, you can only hit a distance of five or six hundred meters at most, and then it depends on luck.

After all, it is used less, and it has not been specifically studied.

Machine guns have a longer range, more power, and much more ammunition than rifles.

As for the disadvantages of the machine gun's heavy weight and recoil, it is not a problem for those who are able.

Zhan Yue has a Type 88 general-purpose machine gun in his hand, with a total weight of 11.8 kg, which can be converted by a simple mechanism to realize the firing mode between different states such as heavy machine guns, light machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.

WITH A 5.8MM CALIBER BULLET, IT IS THE SMALLEST MACHINE GUN IN THE WORLD, WITH A COMBAT RATE OF FIRE OF 300 ROUNDS PER MINUTE AND A MAXIMUM EFFECTIVE RANGE OF 1000 METERS.

It is equipped with a white light sight to suppress targets at long distances. It can also be equipped with a low-light sight for night shooting.

After making up his mind, Zhan Yue activated the Mortal Gem, and a ray of light merged into the machine gun.

After a few seconds, the system beeps: "You used a blue-grade Mortal Gem, and the machine gun successfully transformed into a black-grade treasure." ”

"It worked!" Zhan Yue's heart was overjoyed.

For the black grade, Zhanyue was not disappointed, although the machine gun is not large in size and weight, it is also a mechanical product with a complex structure, and the lethality is even more powerful, and it is good to be able to successfully transform it into a treasure.

[Item Name: Type 88 Verillant Machine Gun.]

Grade: Black

NOTE: The maximum effective range is increased by 1.5 times, and the rate of fire, accuracy, and bullet lethality are increased by 1.2 times, and cannot be upgraded

Equipment Requirements: None

Durability: 50/50】

1.5 times the maximum range is 1500 meters.

However, too long a range is of little use.

Because when the target exceeds 800 meters, it is necessary to consider the wind direction and wind force, and when it exceeds 1000 meters, it is necessary to consider factors such as temperature, humidity and even the rotation of the earth and gravity.

Including Zhan Yue, no one present had such marksmanship.

However, the lethality of machine gun bullets has been increased by 1.2 times, which is more useful, which is equivalent to the power of large-caliber ordinary bullets or armor-piercing bullets, which is enough to pose a deadly threat to monsters below level 7.

As for monsters below level 6, it depends on the size, and the small ones may be able to be killed with a few shots.

Zhan Yue wanted to get another metamorphosis gem at this time, which could be used to metamorphose a box of machine gun bullets, if the powerful machine gun could use bullets above the black grade, level 7 or even level 8 monsters could be easily killed.

The accuracy enhancement is also good, because the caliber of the Type 88 is too small and the warhead is too light, the accuracy will be affected at a distance.

1.2 times the rate of fire is 360 rounds per minute, and the Type 88 has a maximum magazine capacity of 180 rounds in the light machine gun state, which can be fired in half a minute, which is especially important when facing large monsters.

A black-grade machine gun alone has such power, and if it's a cyan grade, I'm afraid it can threaten monsters above level 8.

However, the metamorphosis gem is too rare, at least Zhanyue lived for five years in his previous life, and he never got it.

Moreover, there is still a chance of failure when it comes to mortality, which cannot be ignored.

Generally speaking, equipment, weapons, etc. can be upgraded through equipment upgrade gems, only a very small number of treasures cannot be upgraded, and treasures such as powerful machine guns cannot be upgraded.

The most regrettable thing is that even if it becomes a treasure after metamorphosing, there is no experience point for killing monsters with hot weapons, and it will not burst out of the treasure chest.

This requires Zhanyue to only use it at critical moments, and usually kills monsters with knives or skills, otherwise it will seem to be a loss.
