Chapter 14: Evil Cave…Beginner's Mission?
With Tiya's explanation, Luger finally got what he wanted.
System task, triggered successfully.
Moreover, this time it seemed like there was a big opening reward, and he actually bought two for one, which directly triggered two tasks for him.
[Mission Objective (1): Help alchemist Tia Max get back the ‘fresh seeds’. 】
[Task reward: 500 points]
[Mission Objective (2): Explore the ruins of the Lost named ‘Evil Spirit Cave’. 】
[Task reward: 150-450 points]
Two tasks, one simple and direct, basically the same as he expected.
The other one was an exploratory one that could be completed in sections, which made him look back at his original mission.
[Task Objective: Explore the basic situation of the current area]
The maximum reward is 50 points.
With his current level of completion, he can actually get 40 points.
It seems that the basic situation in this area is the fragments of the dark world + the lost + evil spirits.
Luger had a hunch that once he came into contact with the so-called evil spirit, he should be able to get 50 full points for this task.
…
Tens of minutes later, at the edge of the forest near Tia's safe house.
"So, the Evil Spirit Cave is in the woods ahead?" Ruger asked, pointing to a relatively sparse forest.
"Um, no, the Evil Spirit Cave is a cave within a cave. If you want to go there, you have to enter the Evil Cave first..."
Evil cave?
Ruger laughed when he heard the name.
Isn't this where the first mission of Diablo 2 is?
The main force inside is still the fallen demon zombies, plus huge beasts that look like savages orangutans.
In any case, they are just novice monsters.
Now that he has killed dozens of fallen demons, the wild monsters along the way can easily be turned into dead souls by him.
Isn't that just an evil cave very simple?
Thinking of this, he picked up the shotgun and trotted toward the hole in the sparse trees.
He completely didn't notice the confusion and hesitation on Tiya's face behind him.
How should I put it, don’t look at the little tricks Luger used to disgust the stinky witch who looked very much like his ex-girlfriend.
But to be fair, playing tricks to take advantage is not as satisfying as using one's strength to overwhelm someone openly and openly.
So compared to Tia, who just wants to keep her alchemy workshop, Luger is more eager to become stronger.
For him, who has the template of a mechanic, becoming stronger is about earning points.
Earn a lot, earn more points.
Therefore, when he realized that the Evil Cave, a gathering place for novice monsters, was in front of him, he naturally rushed over.
Rushing into the cave as quickly as possible and adapting to the dim light inside, he immediately caught a pair of figures.
They were two zombies a few meters away, slowly walking towards the entrance of the cave.
After training along the way, Ruger has become more familiar with the shotgun in his hand.
Even the skill level has been upgraded a few levels:
[Hand-Hand Weapon Mastery 8 [Elementary]]
I believe it won’t be long before his first skill that he trains and upgrades from scratch to an intermediate level will be born.
So when he saw zombies, regular monsters with high defense and slow speed, he only relied on muscle memory and subconsciously fired.
Nine No. 00 steel pellets from a three-inch deer bullet hit the zombie's face.
With the distance between the two sides just over ten meters, Luger didn't even have to check the results of the battle. He was sure that this shot would hit his head.
However, just as he moved his gun to aim at another zombie, a series of strange sounds called him back.
"Miso miso~"
After being hit by nine steel pellets, the zombie's head, which should have made a popping sound similar to the exploding watermelon, actually made this sound.
It was as if a steel ball had hit the armor plate.
"What the hell?"
Seeing that the guy didn't even have a scratch on his face, Luger immediately cursed.
"Is the body of this thing a Terminator T800? Is the head made of steel?"
While he was arguing, his hands were not idle either.
The bullet that was intended to be sent to the second head was instantly sent to the steel head.
"Duang~"
The sound is still crisp.
"Okay, a good voice means a good forehead?"
Having said that, Luger also heard that the sound of this shot was somewhat different from before.
"It's good to have changes!"
As he spoke, he simply fired all the deer bullets in the magazine at the steel head that was getting closer.
The first two shots are still duang~duang~
But the sound became muffled and deeper.
On the fifth shot, he finally got the long-awaited "Puff~"
At that moment, Luger, who was staring closely at its head, even saw the yellow-green mucus that splashed out after being blown away.
It seems that it is the white tofu brain of the zombie?
At the same time, he also received the kill record from the system:
[Kill undead creatures-zombie-nightmare level and get 36 points. 】
As soon as he saw the number 36, Luger's eyes immediately burst into even more dazzling light than before.
Okay, a zombie? He actually gave himself 36 points? Is the system going crazy?
Um, no, wait,
The zombie that was supposed to be headshot with one shot actually took five bullets from himself before dying. Is it a problem that the points it contributed in the end were not high?
What happened to such a hard head, such a crisp voice, and 36 points?
Hey, wait, nightmare level?
Let me go. Is that what you mean?
Is this an example? still……?
Ruger came back to his senses and saw that the second zombie was about to enter the ten-meter range, so he quickly shot it in the head again.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Sure enough, it was the kind of sound that seemed to be bounced off the armor plate, and it didn't even make a deep scratch.
"Damn, it's a hard forehead!"
This time, Ruger didn't want to use buckshot to scratch its iron forehead again.
Anyway, with the previous 36 points in hand, he could be more reckless.
He released the handguard with his left hand, tapped it several times in the air, and then flipped his hand, and he turned out blue ammunition like a magician.
He pressed this thing directly into the gun chamber from the right ejection window, and immediately pushed the front handguard back and shot another shot at zombie No. 2.
"Bang!"
After a sound he had never heard before, Ruger suddenly saw that the core of his bullet was inserted into the zombie's forehead.
It didn't kill it, but it broke the defense?
"Well, how tough are these guys? Armor-piercing bullets only break defense?"
What he just used was the special ammunition sold in the bunker: tungsten alloy single-headed armor-piercing bullets.
With 2 points, he could only buy 8 rounds.
Seeing that one armor-piercing bullet could not directly kill the opponent, Ruger knew that this was not the time to be stingy, so he quickly conjured another one.
Still pressing directly into the ejection window,
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the second zombie was happy because he was given the eyebrow ornament,
Ruger quickly and accurately delivered the second gift.
"Puchi~"
This sound, which was obviously disgusting to death, sounded no less than fairy music to Ruger's ears.
Of course, it was still not as good as the real system fairy music that followed.
[Kill undead creatures-zombies-nightmare level, get 36 points. 】
Ha, two armor-piercing bullets and a nightmare zombie, equivalent to 1 point for 72 points.
This deal is really worth it!
