Chapter 147: Inspiration for Lightweight cha
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
chanics were known for having a wide range of tactics. Just like how saints would never fall for the sa trick again, chanics would never rely on a single set of tactics. To develop new tactics, one would only need to develop new tactics centered around a core gadget, just like how the core of Lurker Sniper Flow was the sniper itself. Using additional tools like electromagnetic skating shoes, special ammunition, stealth ability, and so on could further strengthen one’s prowess.
To a chanic, developing a new battle tactic was a challenging yet fun task. Brainstorming on new ideas and then being able to bring it to life enabled one to achieve a sense of fulfilnt, just like role-playing gas.
I have quite a few choices, Rovers, Portable Batteries, self-created chas. However, the rovers’ attributes and intelligence are weak on their own, and besides, due to their large sizes, they cannot be easily carried around.
Moreover, even if the only model is placed into the robot troop, the outco will still be unsatisfactory. They are way too expensive.
As for the battery... Even though there is a ‘Portable’ in the na, the pedestal disc is still too large. If I cannot assemble it within seconds, I can’t use it with the flathrower style. Perhaps, I can only use it as a trap ambush...
There’s also the self-created chas...
Han Xiao had a lot of blueprints that he could use for the armor suit, such as K600 Endoskeleton, Smart Chip, Exoskeleton limbs, Electromagnetic Hover Boots, Basic Storage Cube, and other modules. In addition, he had acquired all the basic knowledges, including Bio-engineering, chanical dynamics, Assembly, and Energetics. He had already fulfilled the criteria for creating his own armor.
This was not a bad idea; however, so problems might still arise. For instance, to equip the cha, he would first need a support vehicle that could repair and replenish the materials. Prolonged battling could weaken the attack power, just like a problem every guy would face.
Besides, he did not want to run around wearing a tin can, and it would be best if he could fly. He did actually develop a jetpack, but it still needed so adjustnts. When activated, the jetpack would fly away without the pilot. If the jetpack was secured tightly, one could experience what a hundred tis the speed of a Ferris wheel would feel like. Han Xiao did not want to try that for the second ti, and as such, apart from the small drone, none of his other machines had a flying ability.
dium scale and large scale chas required advance knowledge of [Heavy Machine Modification], and he was only capable of modifying light chas. Nano-Muscle Suits were more classic but required advance knowledge of [Miniature Machine Modification].
Suddenly, Han Xiao had a eureka mont and ca up with a new idea.
Almost made a grave mistake. Actually, I do not need armor as my tactic core. I can start from the assisting type of light armor, neglecting the firepower and focusing on my personal attributes...
He had an idea. As he recalled the armor he had used or seen before, he thought that basic light armor looked reliable and would be easy to replicate one.
As for robots and turrets, he decided to give up on them since they were inconvenient to bring around, and it was impossible to always bring along a truck. Even with airdrop support, there must be a transport aircraft, and then there was the money... No planes could fly in a country’s airspace. Even Fabian Company’s planes, which had licenses, had to follow a fixed route, and they were not allowed to fly wherever they liked. It would be alright to fly into the wild, but there would not be stable supply stations in the vicinity, and it would be difficult for airdrops.
As the night faded away, the golden glow of the sun reappeared, turning the sky from pitch black to a light blue.
Han Xiao stretched his neck, and from his collar bones ca a cracking sound. He was re-energized and full of enthusiasm, ready for the fresh day. He felt like he could puncture the sky with just one punch.
Of course, that was just an illusion due to his overflowing energy. His senses, after becoming stronger, were also sharper. Han Xiao felt his vision, hearing, and sense of sll had all improved. As such, he was even able to see the details on the rough surface of a tree trunk from afar.
Han Xiao boarded the helicopter and ordered the pilot to take flight.
...
Han Xiao travelled on Dark Net’s helicopter and finally arrived at another new village on the Southern Continent after landing several tis in between to refill the fuel. This village was also a place where Vagrant Warlords gathered, and it was called Green Valley Ville.
There was a total of nineteen beginner towns for new players’ on Planet Aquamarine: five in the Southern Continent, four in the Western Continent, four in the Northern Continent, and six on Andrea Mainland.
Green Valley Ville was a land controlled by the Vagrant Warlords and belonged to the Alura family.
Alura, a well-known Vagrant Warlord force with family style managent, were headquartered on the Southern Continent. They also had a land on the North continent. In addition, they were in partnership with Theseus. The chief in command was called Darryl Alura. Anyone with the sa last na would be his imdiate family mber. His other top commanders were all strong players that he had been headhunted to join him, like Second Leader Xiao Jin, Third Leader Bi Qi, and so on. The force was ford by surviving mbers of various extinct states, and hence, they were a diverse people.
The Vagrant Warlords called themselves different nas, including ‘Family’, ‘Group’, ‘Financial Group’, ‘General’, and so on. They believed that if they ford groups, they were less likely to be bullied or threatened. When the force eventually beca stronger, Alura took control of the military and beca an authority in the wild. Many Vagrant Warlords chose to join them, as after all, the Aquamarine wild was not a safe place for most.
All Han Xiao wanted now was to continue searching for players and earning experience through them. Ti was limited; hence, he did not stop after the battles but imdiately proceed to new villages to search for players.
There were three scenarios when players went online and offline or respawn. The first was ‘sa spot’ respawn. This required so explanation. When one went offline while being on a moving vehicle, then when one respawned, one would not respawn back at the sa location, but one would be respawned back onto the sa vehicle. For example, if one was travelling in space, but the location one respawned at was not on the spaceship, then that would be crazy.
The second scenario was respawning at the nearest city. That only applied to respawning players and not for those that were logged in. This ant that if one was killed, one would earn a chance to travel to a city for free, and it was either the city that one wanted or the city that one did not want.
The third scenario was binding to a certain respawn location. However, this required special conditions, including affiliation to camps, special items, or through agreents with NPCs. For example, when one joined a secret camp, one could bind to the camp and select it as one’s respawn point, but others would not be able to do so.
Frenzied Sword would co online on the helicopter. As such, Han Xiao had left a phone behind and instructed the pilot to wait. He then trudged through the forest, heading for the Green Valley Ville.
After two hours, the outline of the Green Valley Ville could be seen from a distance away. It was situated at the side of the forest on a flat land. It was fortified and surrounded by barbed wire fence, and there were vagrant warlords patrolling around. As expected, all the players were gathering at the camps outside of the settlent, just like in Big Horn Village.
Han Xiao did not bother to hide himself. The sentry of the Green Valley Ville spotted him from far away and reported right away to the person-in-charge, Balsas.
Balsas was a bald black man, neither tall nor strong. Instead, he was tiny and thin. He had a pair of triangular eyes that seed gloomy. Upon hearing what the sentry had described, he was shaken. “Sounds a little like Black Phantom.”
Balsas took out his computer and searched for Black Phantom’s photo. Upon getting confirmation from the sentry, Balsas’ expression changed. “Didn’t he just interfere with the battle at Tedramira River. Why is he here? I have nothing to do with him.”
Just the na ‘Black Phantom’ alone made Balsas anxious. Even though Green Valley Ville was heavily ard, he still felt unsafe. Balsas then muttered, “Should we approach him and find out why he is here?”
Since Alura did not have a previous relationships with the Black Phantom, Balsas thought that it would be impossible to clash with the Black Phantom, and there was also no one who had published a wanted notice on Black Phantom on the dark net. Balsas cald down and called for an assistant. He ordered his assistant to take his place and approach the Black Phantom as he was afraid to do it himself.
When the assistant headed out of the gate and walked toward Black Phantom, Balsas moved beside the big gate and observed through the barbed wire fence. He seed really careful.
However, Balsas very soon witnessed a scene that shook him. He saw that the villagers living outside were actually excited and friendly toward the Black Phantom, actually gathering around him.
Balsas was surprised. [How do all the villagers know about the Black Phantom?
...
There were fewer players at Green Valley Ville compared to the number of players at Big Horn Village.
When Han Xiao arrived at the players’ camp, he was warmly welcod by everyone. It was so crowded, and everyone surrounded him, obstructing his route.
Through the forum, the incident at Big Horn Village had spread across Aquamarine players, and all other new player villages were envious that new players at Big Horn Village had a chance to switch their vocation. With the unexpected appearance of Black Phantom, all the new players from Green Valley Ville were thrilled.
“Black Phantom is here!”
“We are going to be lucky too!”
A player with the ID ‘Bun-hit-dog’ was more exhilarated than the others. He was quite a well-known video ga graphic designer, and his ‘XX Adventure’ series, which was humor-based and full of content, had gained him a lot of fans.
