Chapter 238: So Much Equipment that Some Needs to be Discarded

After he had spoken to Big Pineapple, Feng Luo remained on top of the large boulder. He was half-crouched and had changed his position, but he continued to hold the Barrett in his hands while aiming at the area near Big Pineapple.

His eyes which had been strengthened by the W-virus did not relax in the slightest and continued to search for any suspicious activities within his vision.

Although the exposed period for the first batch of players was already over, he did not let his guard down. He was worried that if a “Gamer” with amazing camouflage skills was hiding nearby, then his exposed location would be dangerous. After all, being cautious and vigilant prevented big mistakes.

Even though he had already killed nine people, his sense of danger had prevented him from leaving the boulder to go and collect any of the dropped equipment. However, now that Big Pineapple was there, the problem was solved. There was no doubt that the gears on the island were several times more valuable than his head at the current moment. If no one initiated an attack or tried to steal the gears while Big Pineapple picked them up, then no one was probably hiding or lurking around the place.

So, it was alright, although the last time Big Pineapple acted as a “bait”, he was pretty rubbish! But this guy was tough and thick-skinned, so even if it were a machine gunner, there was probably no way to take him out instantly. That made him the best choice for these sorts of dangerous operations.

After five minutes, Big Pineapple reached the bottom of the boulder Feng Luo was on. He looked like an entirely new person. Apart from the fact that his armor was almost complete, even his alloy sword had been exchanged for the one the rebel army Light Armor Warrior that Feng Luo had killed earlier used.

In his other arm, Big Pineapple was holding the alloy shield that the rebel army Heavy Armor Warrior had dropped as if it were a tool. On the shield were over a dozen gears, ammunition, potions, and other supplies. Looking at the joy emanating from Big Pineapple’s face, Feng Luo could tell that the stats of these gears were quite decent.

That was indeed the case. After all, from the two pieces of equipment dropped by the rebel army Heavy Armor Warrior that Feng Luo killed first, it was easy to tell that the value of these gears on the “humanoid monsters” was not normal. They were almost all equipment at the Excellent Grade. There was even a very rarely seen Fine Grade decorative item called the “Bone Necklace!”

As for the players, most of them had already killed someone, and they would have one or two unlocked pieces of equipment that were quite decent. After all, apart from guns, most weapons could be unlocked without too many kill points being needed. Even a rare of equipment like the Mad Dog military knife only cost a little over 100 points. Of course, that was probably also because of its lower level of just 33.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened while Big Pineapple picked up the items. Perhaps even if someone lay in hiding, after knowing that there was a Sniper hiding somewhere while another Heavy Armor Warrior that could hardly be killed in one hit lay below, the only choice was to retreat sulkily.

However, although there was no one around, with a huge bunch of items and equipment, there was another problem. There was simply too much stuff and the backpack could not carry it all.

Feng Luo had killed 11 people in total, but half of them had already killed someone else. After a player died, all the “unlocked” items would drop, including those inside their backpacks. As such, the number of pickable equipment with stats from these corpses was more than 50.

50 pieces of equipment. If their backpacks were empty, fitting them in wouldn’t be much of a problem. However, Big Pineapple was like Feng Luo, and both of them were on their special agent mission. To be prepared, their backpacks were 70% filled, and after taking part in this mission, they couldn’t take out the locked items inside their backpack. This meant that even if they wanted to discard some of their unwanted items to make some space, they would first need to spend some kill points to unlock them.

The kill points were connected to the final “selection.” It would probably be quite difficult for normal players to decide to use the kill points to unlock some unwanted equipment just to clear their backpack space.

Big PIneapple threw the equipment on the shield on the ground below the boulder, putting them together with the 20 pieces of equipment and consumables before shouting up to Feng Luo. “Brother, a total of 54 gears. They’re all here! I’ve taken five of them. After exiting the game, tell me your account number, I’ll transfer the money to you directly. Also, there’s a lot of gears that will be useful for gunners like you. It’s better if you hurry down and pick the ones you want.”

“Alright, I’ll be right over.” After observing the surroundings for one last time and finding no problems, Feng Luo put the Barrett back into his backpack.

After that, he tightened his tactical glove and leaped down. He grabbed the branch of a tree in the middle of the boulder to act as a buffer. Then, his entire body dropped from the giant boulder that was at least 17 to 18 meters tall, landing before Big Pineapple.

“Big Pineapple! It’s been a while!” Feng Luo greeted Big Pineapple with a smile.

“Old Feng! It’s you?” Big Pineapple exclaimed. His face was frozen as he was filled with surprise and delight.

After that, he immediately remembered something and continued to shout loudly. “Wait, that means… You’re the No. 99 ranked number one in the rankings in the Dongsang City mission?”

The sign on the boulder was used specifically by the six of them from the “FBI,” and he only needed to check Feng Luo’s height and body shape.

Big Pineapple thought for a moment and confirmed Feng Luo’s identity.

Number 99!

“I was saying. The kind of marksmanship that doesn’t miss, where every shot is a headshot, no ordinary player could do that. If it’s you, then it’s not weird anymore. Your marksmanship is one of the rare skills which I can use the word ‘crazy’ to describe!” Relief could be seen on Big Pineapple’s dark face.

After two minutes, Big Pineapple glanced at Feng Luo who was holding a gray submachine gun while leaning on a tree and said, “Old Feng, what about the rest of this equipment? My backpack can’t take anymore.”

“Throw them into the sea. We can’t use them anyway, but if we leave them here, it will make things easy for others. In a competitive mission like this, I’d rather destroy them than to hand it over to my opponents.”

“Throw them into the ocean? F*ck, there’s a couple of Excellent Grade equipment pieces here. Although their stats are average, if we were to bring them to the exchange, we could at least earn a couple of thousand credits! It’s such a waste to just throw them into the ocean…” Big Pineapple looked at Feng Luo beseechingly.

“Just wait! If everything goes smoothly, we might even be forced to throw away Rare Grade equipment, let alone Excellent Grade equipment. That’s why it’s better to move quickly.” Feng Luo smiled and pressed his finger on the trigger of the gray submachine gun that looked like an MP5 model. His eyes signaled to discard the Excellent alloy shield used as a transportation tool on the ground.

The work was still left to Big Pineapple in the end.

Although no one was probably around them, this was still an island with danger lurking everywhere, and they still needed one person to focus specifically on defense, just in case.

Feng Luo thought for a bit and pointed to the corpses inside the forest before speaking to Big Pineapple. “Oh, that’s right. Throw the two corpses into the ocean too. From the scenes earlier, those piranhas are really sensitive to the smell of blood. Two corpses with gun injuries should be able to attract a huge amount of piranhas. That way, no one would dare enter the ocean to pick up these gears!”

While he spoke, he threw a meaningful glance inside the cave in the middle of the boulder.

“Friend, I’ve already stayed hidden inside for an hour as per our agreement. You won’t go back on your words, will you?”

The warrior inside the boulder finally spoke.

“F*ck, there’s someone else?” Big Pineapple was shocked, and he instinctively raised the gray alloy sword in his hands. He had not realized that someone was still hiding inside the cave in the boulder.

“It’s alright. I’ll tell you the details later.” Feng Luo shook his head. “Just wait a little longer. We’ll deal with these things and then we’ll leave.”

“It’s better if we don’t see each others’ faces. Otherwise, it might be a little awkward when killing each other!”

Feng Luo smirked.

Around a minute after the two of them had left, Bowl of Instant Noodles quickly jumped out of the middle of the boulder while holding his backup alloy longsword. He stood on the beach and looked at the sea that had been dyed light red, filled with piranhas moving about while torn clothing floated in the sea. His face showed clear disappointment!

F*ck! This gunner is really ruthless. He’d rather throw the pieces of equipment into the sea and destroy them. He hasn’t even left one or two behind!

Bowl of Instant Noodles looked at the sea in disappointment once more before turning around to leave. However, he memorized the location of this beach. He was going to return here to take another look after a while. Perhaps some of the equipment would be washed ashore.
