Chapter 47: The Sword and the Shield

The cost of strengthening is 200 points each time, and it costs a total of 2,000 points for ten times, counting the price of the original purchase, and in the end, this weapon cost Ma Le a total of 25,000 credits, and the effect obtained made him quite surprised:

Special Effect 2 Electric Shock: After shooting the enemy, you can remotely control the marker gun to release high-voltage electricity to cause secondary damage to the target, the damage attribute is lightning, the damage value is 70 points per second, and the maximum duration is 3 seconds. This effect requires a fully charged Marker Gun to use.

Special Effect Triple Shot: The Harpoon Gun has been modified to hold two marker guns in its body, allowing it to fire twice per bolt pull. If the trigger is pulled, the two marker guns will be fired in succession, with 0.2 seconds apart. Two marker guns with the same bolt can each trigger the shock effect. (This effect is a bonus effect for maxing out the level)

Description: This harpoon gun was originally a Harmony Mining Company's outer space marker gun, a marking tool for outer space engineering operations, and was nicknamed a harpoon gun by engineers because of its similar firing principle to the harpoon. In order to be able to mark accurately from a distance, the Harpoon Gun is designed to be a long-range shooting tool with strong penetration, and if used against enemies, it is just as powerful as a regular firearm!

After a lot of energy node modifications, the harpoon gun has tapped all its potential and has become a completely dangerous weapon. If you're an engineer, you'd better hide him, or you'll be approached by the authorities at any time; But if you're a warrior, congratulations, you've got a terrifying killing weapon!

Description: The special arrows of the harpoon gun, there is a miniature battery at the arrow, and there is a marker light at the tail, which can be used to mark the point and also discharge to kill the enemy, which is a very practical tool and weapon, and has been upgraded to the highest level.

………………

Ma Le never expected that after being strengthened to the full level, not only did the weapon grade become silver, but he also got additional special effect rewards! Whether it is a power grid or continuous shooting, it is a very practical special effect, especially continuous shooting, which originally had to be loaded every time the harpoon gun was fired, which was troublesome and time-prohibiting. But with this special effect, you can fire two arrows in a row, and a certain amount of dù is almost equal to doubling the power!

Just imagine, Ma Le finally found the right opportunity to shoot two shots in a row while the enemy was unprepared, which is an output of more than 500 points! But if you don't have a burst of shots, you can only shoot one shot, and you miss the time when you pull the bolt. Not only that, but the discharge button on the harpoon gun has also become two, apparently prepared for two consecutive shots, after two shots of the same bolt are fired, the button on the left can control the first shot, and the button on the right can control the second shot, if Ma Le wants, he can also press both buttons at the same time, so that the two shots are discharged together! This is a lot better than the previous one-shot control.

Ma Le happily played with the harpoon gun that had just been upgraded, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, since the harpoon gun can be upgraded, what about the ghost blade? Ma Le hurriedly took out the ghost blade and put it on the scanning table, but unfortunately, the weapon of the enhancement machine reality has no potential to be strengthened. It seems that not all weapons can be strengthened.

Ma Le left the strengthening room, and now he still has 83,044 points left on his body, and it should be more than enough to buy a good armor.

Ma Le has been running naked in the major mission worlds before, although the vast majority of entry-level people do this, but others because they can't afford armor, but Ma Le ignores this point because his defense is too high. In the next world, Ma Le has decided to take advantage of the last entry-level opportunity to frantically dig into the side plot, even if he challenges the hidden boss, so while having attack power, strong protection is also a must!

However, after walking around the market, Ma Le found that the choice of armor equipment is more cautious than the choice of weapons.

Generally speaking, armor is mainly divided into two categories, one is the traditional armor that often appears in the ancient background world, such as chain mail, scale armor, plate armor, and leather armor. The other is the armor that often appears in the modern or future science fiction world, such as protective clothing, body armor, steel helmets and the like. However, most of these are standard equipment, which are generally white or blue attributes, and they are not yet in Ma Le's eyes. You need to look at a higher level to find something different.

First of all, traditional armor, with the rise in quality and price, equipment with magical attributes began to gradually appear, most of which came from the fantasy world, and some even had their own skills that were very rebellious. But this kind of armor also has disadvantages, after all, it is a traditional armor, the protective area is limited, and there are always places that cannot be taken care of such as arms, thighs, faces, etc. And most of the traditional armor is not a complete set, but is disassembled into various parts and sold separately, after all, a whole set of armor will be exploded when you fight a monster, which is too small.

On the other hand, with the improvement of scientific and technological content, power armor has begun to appear active in many science fiction works! These sturdy and powerful exoskeletons can greatly improve the soldier's individual combat ability, not only can greatly improve the strength and speed of the wearer, but most also have a complete set of life support system, wearing it, even in the outer space environment can survive for a long time. Coupled with the tight protection, thick armor, and some even have an energy stance protection layer, the physical protection is extremely strong, so this power armor is very popular with adventurers. But this seemingly convenient armor also has its drawbacks, first of all, it is too tall and bulky, and it is not easy to apply in narrow situations. Secondly, this thing is a miniature mecha to put it bluntly, as long as its power core is destroyed, then it is no different from a pile of scrap metal, not only does it lose its original majesty, but it may even become a heavy shackle, temporarily trapping the adventurers inside.

Faced with a dazzling array of armor and a wide variety of armor, Ma Le became a phobia of choice. Personally, he longs for the domineering style of wearing power armor to break into the enemy formation, but the magical magic armor is also very fascinating.

After hesitating for a long time, Ma Le finally chose the power armor with superior protection for three reasons.

First, except for a few cases, most of the power armor is a complete package for trading, otherwise it is really useless to only bring a hand armor helmet or something, which is much easier than scattered traditional armor.

Second, most of the power armor is made of special alloys, although there is no magic blessing, but in terms of material and thickness, it far exceeds ordinary traditional armor. Although it theoretically does not provide magical defense, this thing is a bit thick like a wall, and the inside and outside are completely two environments, and ordinary magic such as fireballs and ice arrows really can't hurt the driver inside. In the entry-level ordinary world, magical attack monsters are rare, and even fewer can cast spells that ignore obstacles, so this kind of pure physical high protection is more useful.

Third, ordinary traditional armor Ma Le is not eye-catching, with a powerful enchantment effect, even if it is a single piece, it is generally very expensive, Ma Le has made a little fortune, but it has not yet reached the point of a local tyrant, a silver armor, he can only think about it...... In comparison, although power armor is also expensive, the standard armor of general blue quality is already effective and more cost-effective.

In the end, Ma Le took a fancy to such a set:

Name: Perfect Marauder Armor Quality: Silver

Type: Power Armor

Source: StarCraft World

Armor: 120 points

Thickness: 180 points

(Due to the heavy structure of the armor, even if you take damage that exceeds the armor value, it will not necessarily damage the wearer inside the armor immediately.) The thickness of the armor is equivalent to durability, and its effect is similar to life, and it needs to be pierced to deal damage to the wearer, and the thickness is spread across every inch of armor.

For example, if an armor-piercing bullet with 500 damage points hits this power armor, the damage will be reduced by 120 armor points, then 180 points of thickness, and finally 200 points will be applied to the adventurer. However, if it is an armor-piercing bullet with 200 damage, 120 armor will be subtracted first, and the remaining 80 points will not be able to penetrate armor up to 180 points thick. The thickness of the area hit will be reduced by 80 points, and the thickness of the armor will continue to decrease until the third shot will penetrate it. But if it is hit elsewhere, the thickness has to be recalculated, because elsewhere the armor is intact.

The above is the information obtained by Ma Le)

Armor Type: Heavy Armor (better protection against sharp weapons, when receiving physical attacks, weapon sharpness is reduced by 3, up to a maximum of 3)

Strength Requirement: 1

Mass: 1.2 tons

Energy: Electricity

Maximum activity time at full energy: 20 hours in calm state, 3 hours in combat state

Effect 1: Power Armor: As a power armor, it will give the wearer a bonus in strength and speed, increasing strength by 60 points and agility at 30 points when worn. (Anything over 30 points is counted as 30 points, and due to the limitations of power armor's flexibility, it cannot withstand too fast movements.) This Agility effect only affects speed and dexterity, and may improve dynamic vision and neural responses, but is not limited. )

Special Effect 2 Grenade Attack: This power armor arm has been modified into a grenade launcher that can shoot grenades at enemies. The grenade has 200 kinetic damage, 500 explosion damage, a 2-meter radius of full damage, a 5-second attack interval between one-arm attacks, and a grenade reserve of 50 rounds. Because the arms are modified, there is no device to grasp, so it is not possible to use other weapons while wearing this armor.

Effect 3 Shock Grenade: This power armor has been modified to shoot grenades with a strong shock effect, causing negative effects such as slowing and paralyzing the target for a short period of time, depending on the opponent's constitution. Firing a stun grenade requires 3 minutes of charging, during which time the arm that needs to be fired must not fire any grenades, otherwise the charging will be interrupted. The shock bounce kinetic energy damage is 200 points, the shock damage is 600 points, and the shock radius is 3 meters.

Special Effect 4: The power armor has been modified and equipped with an emergency escape device, when the power armor is severely damaged and unable to move normally, the wearer can urgently escape to avoid being trapped.

Effect 5 Stimulant: This power armor has been modified to contain stimulant drugs, which can inject the wearer if necessary, reduce health by 10 points, increase movement speed by 50%, last for 5 minutes, and have a cooldown of one hour.

………………

This power armor is excellent in terms of performance and special effects, and Ma Le can't take his eyes off it when he sees it. However, with such excellent quality, the price must not be low, and the eye-catching price tag is written with a high price of 100,000 points! Even if it is an explosive household like Ma Le, in the face of such a high price, he can only sigh with hope.
