Chapter 61: This is the Red Kilin!

Brimming with curiosity and uncertainty, Chen Sha searched for Ocean Stronghold in the official gas store, downloaded it, and registered for an account.

What surprised him was the internal storage the ga occupied. The storage space that it used was even larger than Bullet Hole and was many tis larger than Counter Strike.

However, Chen Sha didn’t probe into it. After all, there were low-quality gas in the market that occupied huge storage capacity.

There was a dostically produced ga that had undergone such bad ga optimization that even the best graphics card in the market cannot resolve its horrible ga graphics. That created the legend of ‘Titanfall’.

Therefore, the ga’s large storage capacity and demanding hardware configurations did not an anything. What’s more important was the content of the ga.

Shortly after, Chen Sha entered the ga.

His initial reaction was that the ga seed... pretty pleasant?

The ga graphics were much better than what he had expected!

Chen Sha had originally thought this was a flaky and horrible ga. He did not have any expectations for it. The only reason he downloaded the ga was to see for himself what the 888-yuan epic weapon looked like.

However, the ga left a pretty good first impression on him!

Although there was no opening computer graphics, the login interface and in-ga user interface both looked amazing. It was not inferior to Bullet Hole.

Chen Sha found the ga’s shop first.

The first thing that popped before his eyes was the legendary epic weapon—a Rainbow Red Kilin!

At a glance, it looked similar to AK rifles. However, there were enormous changes made to its exterior details. The entire rifle was sparkling. The gun barrel was coated in dazzling paint which spread towards the rifle body like colorful ripples of the rainbow. It was extrely eye-catching. Below the gun barrel was a unique-looking gold dagger. According to the description in the in-ga shop, that was called the ‘Kilin Dagger’.

In the intersection between the gun barrel and rifle body, there was a gigantic kilin head. The kilin’s mouth was wide open and appeared as though it was engulfing the gun barrel and the dagger. The eyes of the kilin were blood-red, and the kilin’s fur had the color and texture of fire and would ripple in the air. As the rifle body moved, red sparks would appear within the kilin’s eyes. That made the kilin appear as if it was about to co to life.

Furthermore, there were alterations to components such as the rifle clip, the pistol grip, and the buttstock. While the gun followed the design of AK rifles, the exaggerated sizes of so components and unique alterations to its exterior design left a deeper impression on people.

Chen Sha was dumbfounded.

That was just way too cool, wasn’t it?

He was an elite gar in Counter Strike and had explored the ga Bullet Hole when he was testing it out.

Both Counter Strike and Bullet Hole tried their best to replicate firearms in the real world.

For instance, their biggest alteration to the AK guns was to paint them. There would not be a lot of drastic changes to the basic appearance of the guns.

They were afraid of being scolded by military gas fanatics.

In comparison, the dramatic changes done in Ocean Stronghold was extrely daring!

Of course, strictly speaking, this Red Kilin could be considered to be overly fancy.

The exaggerated design, the bold alterations, and the elaborate special effects... all of that made Chen Sha a little instinctively uncomfortable when he saw it for the first ti.

Chen Sha had been playing FPS gas for so many years and was already used to how AK rifles looked. It was normal that he would be unaccustod when the rifle’s appearance suddenly changed from realistic to fantasy-like.

However, it was undeniable that this weapon looked really cool!

The longer one looked at it, the cooler it beca!

Chen Sha stared at the special effects on the Red Kilin for a long ti. The red fur on the Red Kilin’s head seed to blaze in the air like burning flas and move with every breath. Together with the dazzling paint on the rifle body...

Once accustod to the fantasy-like designs, it seed to be surprisingly enchanting, didn’t it?

Look at the price.

It was truly 888 yuan each!

Chen Sha could not help but exclaim, “Impressive!”

It was really impressive that the ga designer dared to price a weapon at such a high price. He really had the guts!

Normally, prices within gas would slowly increase to test the bottom-line price of the players.

For instance, the paywall for the ga Qute Three Kingdoms was quite low. That resulted in most players reaching the maximum paywall of the ga. Only afterward did Qute Three Kingdoms add new things that players could recharge with money to purchase. Gradually, the maximum amount for the premium system and the number of purchasable items increased with ti.

It was extrely rare for a ga to price an item at 888 yuan from the get-go, just like what Ocean Stronghold did!

Chen Sha looked through the in-ga shop and noticed a problem.

There were no page indicators or columns for purchasable items!

That was because the entire shop only sold this one item!

This was the only purchasable item in the Ocean Stronghold ga.

In other words—other than the 888 yuan Red Kilin, Ocean Stronghold did not sell anything else!

Of course, there were other firearms in the ga. They could be found in the ‘Armory’ feature.

The armory would indicate detailed stats of the weapons and ways to obtain them.

There were nurous ways to obtain those weapons. So could be unlocked after completing the story mode in the ga, so after completing certain achievents, and so could be purchased using in-ga currency.

The in-ga currency could be obtained by completing daily tasks and battles. Although there was a limit to the amount that could be obtained, it was not difficult to obtain it.

To Chen Sha’s surprise—other than the Red Kilin, there was not a single weapon in the armory that could be obtained by topping up with money.

Chen Sha scratched the back of his head. He was thoroughly confused by the ga’s paynt options.

Was the Red Kilin really that marketable such that they decided to price it at 888 yuan?

He scrutinized the description of the Red Kilin.

Firearms in the ga were classified into four tiers: normal, elite, hero, and epic.

As compared to hero-tier weapons which were a tier below epic-tier weapons, their only difference was that the stats of the epic-tier weapons were slightly higher than that of hero-tier weapons.

Without an in-depth comparison, Chen Sha would not even be able to notice the differences between the stats of the epic-tier Red Kilin and other hero-tier AK rifles.

This applied to weapons of other tiers. For the sa weapon, each tier only had slight enhancents in the stats. However, those enhancents were barely noticeable.

Besides that, epic-tier weapons had so special properties.

The XP obtained by the player increased by 200%. (XP, short for experience points, affected player’s level. However, increasing one’s level did not have much use. When leveling up, you would rely obtain so in-ga currency. Other than that, a player’s level may also limit certain functions within the ga.)

The XP obtained by the players in the sa room increased by 50%.

In-ga currency obtained by the players in the sa room increased by 30%.

When the player died, the weapon dropped would turn into a normal AK rifle. If the player threw away the weapon voluntarily, the weapon dropped would remain as a Red Kilin.

The clip reload speed and weapon switch speed of the Red Kilin was faster. Its clip capacity was also larger.

Other than that, there was nothing more!

The Red Kilin did have so slight advantage, but they were not very apparent. It was far from being evidently superior to the other weapons.

This was an FPS ga. A headshot with the Red Kilin would kill instantaneously... so would a normal-tier AK rifle. They were no different!

Although the Red Kilin did have a faster clip reload speed and weapon switch speed, it was only centiseconds faster.

Maybe the Red Kilin’s damage would be slightly higher than a normal-tier AK rifle when it ca to shooting through walls or shooting at the legs.

Although the Red Kilin did have a slight advantage in terms of its stats as compared to other weapons, Chen Sha felt that the advantage was not worth its price of 888 yuan.

Chen Sha was a little confused as to how to perceive this ga...

It might seem as though the developers are abiding by their conscience. However, the action of pricing a weapon at 888 yuan seed nothing conscientious at all.

However, one could not say that the ga was lousy either. Other than the Red Kilin, the ga was completely free to play. Moreover, the 888 yuan Red Kilin did not have noticeably superior stats.

Chen Sha felt that the designer of the paynt options could be in the hall of fa for the most eccentric human behaviors yet. It was simply... unfathomable!
