Darkness engulfed Lincoln in an instant, the slimy, wriggly motion accompanied by the foul stench of rotten fish reminding Lincoln exactly where he was.Inside the oesophagus of the colossal crocodile.He was meters away from the crocodile’s liver. He struggled hard, using his limbs and trying to stop himself from falling further down the beast’s throat. He was not keen on having a liver acid bath while the crocodile digested him into nothing.The fact that the crocodile could swallow gold like it was water only proved how strong its liver acid was. If Lincoln’s flesh came into contact with it, there would be nothing left of him.However, the slimy wall of the esophagus and the wriggly motion of the crocodile sent Lincoln further down the throat of the beast.Lincoln pulled out his dagger and stabbed it hard into the wall of the esophagus.He stabbed it with all his strength, but the dagger did not even enter one third of the flesh of the crocodile. It was like stabbing an extremely te
It didn’t take long for Evilgenius to reply."2,000 Points, 1 Skill Point!"It was an ideal price for Lincoln. Although it might fluctuate in the future, it would not be by a lot. After doing business with Evilgenius a couple of times, Lincoln was able to trust him, although not completely.His previous experience in trusting people had made him not trust others easily."What about embedded?" Lincoln asked."If it were embedded, it would cost about 500 to 1,000 Points. 1,000 Points would be considered a success."Evilgenius replied in an instant. It seemed like he had sufficient knowledge on embedded jewelry."Wanna sell it? Jewels sell for a good price among veterans," he told Lincoln."Let me think about it," Lincoln replied. He didn’t want to shun him, he truly needed to consider it.He glanced at his character window.[Points: 12,200][Skill Points: 5][Golden Skill Points: 1][Golden Attribute Points: 1]The SS rating had earned Lincoln more than 10,000 Points again, and his a
Lincoln had made his decision based on his skills’ optimum attribute growth and attacking power.[Knights of Saint Aurora Tempering Art] was at the top of the list, followed by [Hand-to-hand Combat] and [Sharp Weapon (Dagger)], [Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm)], [Evading],[Undercover], [Tracking], and finally the [Returning Kick], which was restricted by the level of the [Knights of Saint Aurora Tempering Art].[Knights of Saint Aurora Tempering Art] was a core skill to Lincoln, so when there was room for an upgrade, he would definitely take it.Both [Hand-to-hand Combat] and [Sharp Weapon (Dagger)]’s related attributes were Strength, Agility, and Constitution. The attributes overlapped, so in order to upgrade either skill, Lincoln would have to depend on the kind of weapon he would be able to acquire, either a dagger or a gauntlet.Lincoln preferred [Sharp Weapon(Dagger)], because it was cheaper by 1,000 Points than [Hand-to-hand Combat].According to his calculations, even if he cho
His mailbox had been spammed while he was away. Considering the number of the messages, it could only be Evilgenius ....Evilgenius : I found u a gauntlet!Evilgenius : 800 Points, Rarity Great, it fits ur criteria!Evilgenius : No Magic equipment though, it was too hard to find!Evilgenius : Last time, when I bombarded that Burrow Dragon, it only dropped a Magical Rank item! Damn it, dragon! That’s totally unworthy of your bloodline! At least give me some Rare equipment!...After a lot of BS, Evilgenius finally sent over a screenshot and enabled the trading option.[Name: Tiger’s Finger (Right Hand)][Type: Gauntlet][Rarity: Great][Attacking Power: Weak][Attributes: None][Effects: None][Prerequisites: None][Remarks: It might look like a punk accessory, but it sure can throw a punch if you know how to use it!]...The item on the trade window was exactly what Lincoln had imagined.It was black in color and made out of four pieces of metal chained together.After a quick scan, L
Lincoln frowned as he looked at his stats. Although his attributes had all increased, according to his calculations, his Intuition should have reached C- Rank.However, when Lincoln had leveled up the [Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm)] skill to Pro, the skill’s related attributes had all been capped and unable to level up any further, ruining Lincoln’s original plan for his Intuition."As soon as the attributes reach E+ Rank, the restrictions will be similar to the basic skills going from Master to Pro.""Using that as a base for further speculation, once my attributes reach E+ Rank and surpass ordinary men’s limitations, it will be hard to level up attributes by leveling up the skill itself. It might take two or three levels just to level up the attributes once, if at all!" Lincoln speculated.He kind of understood why a Legendary Skill Book’s appearance could spark a full-scale war.It wasn’t just because of the powerful skill. It was also because of the related attributes and charact
Evilgenius could not stand his impatience, so he replied right away....Evilgenius : 10,000 Points. He’ll deposit half of it first. All expenses are included, but you’re not entitled to any of the points at the end of the Mission world. You’ll only clear the Main Mission, nothing else.2567: Such a good pay?Evilgenius : Not really. The guy is an evil businessman, why would he give you an advantage?Evilgenius : When you sold the two [Tekken-II] rocket launchers, you got 10,000 Points from Steam City, 5 SP, and 4,000 Points, 2 SP from me, and the [Basic Medicine Crafting Platform Blueprint] plus the [Single Mission world Cooldown Reset Card]!Evilgenius : According to my calculations, you have a total of 14,000 Points, 6 SP. If you were able to bring 2 [Tekken-II]s from the Mission world, then your rewards must have been good. Even if you used the [Medicine Crafting Platform], you should have at least one Pro Level Skill and one Master Level Skill respectively!Evilgenius : Not to m
Lincoln PMed Evilgenius and waited for his reply. It was a little different this time. It took Evilgenius a whole minute before he wrote back....Evilgenius : Accidents might happen!2567: Accidents?Evilgenius : Yes, all sorts of accidents!Evilgenius : After the beta test, there were players who ditched their system and didn’t log in again for over three months.Evilgenius : Then... accidents started to happen.Evilgenius : Two of my friends, who were also beta players like me, decided to leave this deadly system. Three months later, one of them fell down the stairs and broke his neck, and the other one got electrocuted while taking bath.Evilgenius : Every player who stopped playing the system has died in an accident. There were no exceptions.Evilgenius : It was like Death came and took their lives....It took Evilgenius almost two minutes to type all these words. It seemed like he did not wish to remember the tragic death of his friends.Lincoln had been too busy working to
The sound was like a bus getting ready to drive off."Reagan has joined the team!""No.1 has joined the team!""No.2 has joined the team!""Zywane has joined the team!"The mechanical voice spoke again as four notifications popped up in the team chatroom."Reagan wants to trade 10,000 Points. Accept? Yes/No?""Yes!" Reagan was obviously the big client that Dealer had introduced. Lincoln was not going to reject the deposit payment.The client did not type anything. It was No.1 who spoke in his stead, acting as his representative to the other team members....No.1: Can we enter the Mission world now?Zywane: Hold up, I need to replenish some supplies!Evilgenius : Same +1!2567: Same +2!No. 1: How long do you need?Zywane: Another hour!Evilgenius : Same +1!2567: Same + 2!Zywane: ...No.1: Then we will enter the Mission world in exactly one hour. Hope that everyone can be on time....The team chat had filled with strangers communicating with each other before everyone went quiet ag
