Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 159 Rescue (Thanks to Alliance Leader Xiao Zizai for riding a shared bicycle!)
"I go……"

Looking at the stats of this submachine gun, I was dumbfounded. 400-500 firepower? Is this the firepower a Tier 3 submachine gun should have? It's already the same as my Tier 2 purple bomb gun!
Without a doubt, this gun's firepower is off the charts.

In Star Abyss, equipment attributes are not fixed. Instead, based on a standard attribute, there is a certain chance of obtaining some top-tier attributes. According to incomplete statistics during the closed beta, it is said that after equipment drops in Star Abyss, its attributes will fluctuate by 0%-50% based on the standard attribute. This is the legendary "attribute drop".

Clearly, this submachine gun's firepower is off the charts; otherwise, its maximum firepower should be around 380 points.

Therefore, the firepower attribute has increased by about 30%, which is quite abnormal given the current scarcity of purple equipment!
Furthermore, as the Roarer's rank increases, its attack range also increases from 120 meters to 150 meters. This is understandable, as equipment in "Star Abyss" has different attributes depending on its quality and rank. The purple Roarer has a range of 150 meters, while the orange and cyan Roarers might have an even greater range!

The official explanation during the closed beta was that there was a setting in "Star Abyss" called "Machine Soul".

As a type of weapon, firearms will awaken their "machine spirit" once they reach a certain quality, which is why we have memes like "the machine spirit is overjoyed" and "the machine spirit is unhappy".

However, firepower is not the biggest highlight of this Howler; its real strength lies in the "burst kill" attribute!
Once a critical hit is triggered, the damage of shots will be doubled for the next second. This stat is quite overpowered.

My current critical hit rate is 12%, and the ideal maximum rate of fire for the Roarer is 800 rounds per minute, which means that the rate of fire is 13.3 bullets per second. If nothing unexpected happens, a critical hit will definitely be triggered within one second of pulling the trigger!
Therefore, to maximize damage, the best way to output damage is to lock onto the target, pull the trigger and hold it until the magazine is empty!
In other words, the best way to use this Howler is simply to use up all the bullets.

"Clap!"

With a soft click, a smile spread across his face as he equipped the JP purple Roarer, replacing his previous Tier 2 blue Roarer!
From now on, using the Roarer to kill targets with low armor is the most cost-effective option, as the bullets are also relatively cheap. However, for bosses with high armor, it is still better to use the armor-piercing bullets from the bomb gun to deal maximum damage. Alternatively, you can create unavoidable wounds while attacking the boss and then use the Roarer to kill them, which is also a good choice.

"I rely on..."

The fat man glared at me: "You're smiling so lewdly... did you find something good?"

"Oh, I can tell..."

I was speechless for a moment, and said, "I got a top-tier purple submachine gun."

How exceptional is it?

Cai Cai laughed and said, "Boss, let him out so the brothers can broaden their horizons."

"Row!"

I shared the Roarer's illustration directly in the team chat, and everyone was immediately shocked!
Cai Cai was dumbfounded: "Holy crap... what kind of firepower is this? Is it really that shameless? Your mere 9mm submachine gun has about the same firepower as my 25mm purple bomb gun. Is that reasonable?"

"That's really unreasonable..."

Ruolin said, "But what's even more outrageous is that critical hit modifier... It doubles the direct damage. Combined with Ding Han's maxed-out shooting mastery, how can other players even compete?"

"Awesome..."

The fat man looked bewildered, then grinned and said, "Bro, when you get the orange submachine gun, keep this one for me, don't give it to Cai Cai, I'm telling you first..."

I gave him a wink: "Got it!"

"Let's go."

Looking at the fertile fields to the south, I said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and get more points and experience. We're already here, so we must maximize our gains. Cai Cai, Fatty, and Kou Mei, the three of you, be careful. Don't be careless anymore. Dangers are everywhere in the wilderness of Star Abyss. We can't afford to lose any of them."

"Oh, I see!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

……

So, I led the way, carrying the purple Roarer I had just acquired.

After walking for about twenty minutes, a rustling sound came from the jungle ahead.

"Watch out, it's a Soundwave Beast!"

Cai Cai, with her sharp eyes, pointed to a spot not far away.

Sure enough, a level 35 blue BOSS, the Sonic Beast, suddenly rushed out of the forest, let out a low roar, and without saying a word, squatted down on the spot, its body filled with wind energy, and immediately launched the Sonic Boom skill!
[Battle Notice: Sonic Howler (Blue Boss) is charging up its Sonic Boom Lv7 skill!]

……

"Dry!"

Cai Cai exclaimed in alarm: "Full power, quick!"

I immediately aimed at the Sonic Beast's head and pulled the trigger in an instant. A burst of bullets from the Roarer whistled out, piercing through the Sonic Beast's bloated and fat head with a series of "pfft pfft pfft" sounds, and countless dense damage numbers quickly rose up!
"1224!"

"2436!"

"2592!"

"2646!"

"5268!"

……

The damage was so high, I'm almost embarrassed to even look at it!
When the second shot triggers a critical hit, subsequent attacks become double damage, triple damage for headshots, and six times the damage. Some of the later attacks also trigger critical hits, turning into a terrifying twelve times the damage, with each shot dealing over 5000 damage, making everyone's faces turn green!

"Ow..."

The sonic beast let out a mournful cry. Its total health was only 8. Under the Roarer's terrifying damage, its health bar was emptied in less than three seconds, and it turned into five beams of energy crystal light that seeped into each of our bodies.

Opening the chest only rewarded some experience points...

Pooh!
I glanced at the corpse of the Sonic Beast and frowned. "It seems that the Twilight Wasteland map has been completely taken over by the alien species, otherwise they wouldn't be attacking so intensively. Let's be careful and take it one step at a time."

"Ah."

Cai Cai said, "If all else fails, we'll just turn back. Our lives are the most important thing." "You're a quick learner. Among us, Cai Cai, you're the most insightful," the fat man said sarcastically.

"That is!"

Just as the two were talking, a familiar voice suddenly came from the star map:

"Are there any players near the Twilight Wasteland coordinates (12373, 26634)? Requesting backup! Requesting backup! Our team has been attacked by aliens and is trapped in an abandoned research facility. They are all crawlers, and their numbers are staggering. Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"

The person shouting in the star map is Rabbit Strike!
"The one from Ragnarok, the sister who stabs to the soul with a single blow?"

Cai Cai frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

The fat man said, "If you ask me, just ignore it and mind your own business."

Kou Mei looked at me: "Boss, what do you say? You're the captain, we'll listen to you."

"Correct."

Ruolin said, "Ding Han, you make the decision."

I hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you all think it's possible to save them?"

"I think..."

Cai Cai said, "Rabbit Strike is a decent person. She didn't make a move when One-Sword Soul led a group to ambush us, so if it's just about saving Rabbit Strike, there shouldn't be any problem. The problem is whether this is a trap, using Rabbit Strike to call us over, and then Ragnarok's large force ambushed us and wiped us all out!"

"I rely on..."

The fat man's expression changed drastically: "Is the martial world really this dangerous?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Cai Cai said, "Boss, what do you think?"

"Ah."

I nodded: "But Cai Cai, you might be overthinking it. This is Xingyuan, not Mortal Cultivation. There might not be as many people with evil intentions here. I think we can go and take a look first. If we can save them, we will; if not, so be it. We don't have any connection with Rabbit Strike."

"learn."

Cai Cai grinned: "Boss is brilliant, I'll listen to you!"

"We're very close, be careful to hide, let's go!"

"go!"

……

In the darkness, a group of people sprinted along the jungle towards the corresponding coordinates in the southeast for ten minutes. Sure enough, the map ahead was covered in blood red, with a dense mass of crawlers surrounding an abandoned building. Inside the abandoned building, gunfire continued to erupt, and grenades were thrown out, exploding among the crawlers.

"Boss, over there..."

Cai Cai pointed to the right side of the research institute and said, "There are fewer crawlers on the side of the abandoned wall. If we can clear a path from there, we should be able to enter the research institute and rescue people in the shortest time."

"Wait, let's ask how things are going at the research institute first."

Immediately, I opened the star map and called Rabbit Strike directly: "I've arrived nearby, what's the situation inside?"

"Ding Han?"

Rabbit Strike was extremely excited: "Crawlers keep rushing in, and there are only six of us here. We're about to collapse!"

"Which six people are they? One-Sword Soul-Destroying, is Zuan even here?"

"Not here..."

Rabbit Blast said, "In order to gain experience points to the maximum extent, we split up. I'm leading this team, while my brother and the others went in another direction and won't be able to catch up in a short time."

"understood."

I nodded: "I will lead a team to storm in from the east. You can come out through the windows from the east. There are too many creepers to kill them all. After you come out, retreat south along the hill on the right."

"it is good!"

The next moment, I closed the star map and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, follow me, and break through!"

"go!"

The next moment, I grabbed the Roarer and led the four of my squad to the north side of the wall. We immediately opened fire, and with the Roarer's gunshots, the crawlers in front of us fell in droves!

A level 35 elite creeper only has about 5000 health points. A few headshots with burst fire can take it down. With my maxed-out shooting mastery, it's like harvesting wheat!
Cai Cai and Fatty used bomb guns to suppress the enemy from both sides, Kou Mei was in the middle, and Ruo Lin was holding a submachine gun to cover the rear.

Ahead, a dense swarm of crawlers was attacking the east window of the research institute. Each of their heads had split into mouthparts, their faces were ferocious, and they looked extremely frightening.

"Grenade!"

At my command, ten grenades were thrown out instantly, and with a loud bang, the area was cleared!

"Huang Yiyi, retreat!"

After I shouted, Rabbit Strike jumped out of the window with a submachine gun, followed by the second and third, a total of six players from Ragnarok Online rushed out of the research institute. However, when the others saw me and Cai Cai and the others, they couldn't help but show complicated expressions.
