Universe Infinite Canteen

The sprinting radish had just appeared when Yun Que, who was already prepared, pulled the trigger.

Despite the Chameleon Double-Barreled Shotgun having a negative effect of a 10% decrease in shooting accuracy, with the passive [Aiming Lock] enhancement, Yun Que's shooting accuracy actually increased instead of decreased.

Furthermore, having received Ma Lu's orders in advance and having aimed for a long time, her shot inevitably hit the target!

The sprinting radish was blasted with a big hole by the shotgun pellets, but its body merely shook, and unlike a human, it didn't bleed or show any signs of injury, still charging over with high spirits.

However, on the Chessboard Map, Ma Lu could see its HP had dropped from 82 to 72.

The sprinting radish had a defensive power of 3 points, and Yun Que's current attack power was 8 points, a difference of 5 points. Additionally, as a weak Earth unit facing an Earth Attribute attack, the damage it suffered doubled.

Therefore, Yun Que's shot directly took away 10 HP from the sprinting radish, and a bleeding icon also appeared above its head.

This meant the Chameleon Double-Barreled Shotgun's additional effect was triggered, and the sprinting radish would lose another 15 HP in the next 15 seconds.

The power of this new weapon was truly remarkable, significantly boosting Yun Que's output capacity.

Meanwhile, a green light shot from Bliss Bird's wand, striking the sprinting radish and causing another 2 points of damage.

But soon after, the sprinting radish was nearly upon the two women, and the impatient Hellhound looked at Ma Lu, signaling she was ready to act.

But Ma Lu herself stepped forward to meet it.

The church-provided armor was highly defensive and durable, plus it came with free maintenance—not using it would be wasteful.

As Ma Lu and the sprinting radish grappled together, the Hellhound complained, "Hey, hey, hey, isn't this a bit of cheating?"

Bliss Bird, seeing this style of knight for the first time, was stunned, while Yun Que by her side had long since become accustomed to it and used the time to reload.

Once Ma Lu was knocked to the side by the sprinting radish, Yun Que lifted her gun to shoot again, and quickly, another hole appeared in the radish's body.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although the sprinting radish looked demonic, it had a high attack power of 9 points. Thankfully, after Ma Lu's armor was repaired, its defensive power also reached an astonishing 11 points. She was not injured, but was still struck hard enough to fall to the ground.

However, in the last moment before her fall, Ma Lu reached out and grabbed one of the sprinting radish's legs, causing its speed to plummet dramatically.

Yun Que continued to retreat while firing another shot, and Bliss Bird also came to her senses from the initial shock and started to retreat and attack, just like Yun Que.

Still, she couldn't help but occasionally glance at the knight being dragged on the ground.

In less than a minute, the two had drained the HP of the radish, and as Yun Que's last bullet hit, the sprinting radish finally ceased its wild charge and toppled backward.

Ma Lu then got up from the ground, dusting off the mud and grass stems from her body, and took a photo of the fallen radish.

In the task bar below, the count of Energized Plants killed went from 0 to 1.

At the same time, based on the sprinting radish's level of danger and harm, the system estimated the rewards to be gained—2000 Holy Silver Coins and 17 Atonement Points.

Ma Lu hadn't even had the chance to put the first ingredient into the Collection Bag when she noticed on the map that a Bok Choy Scout had already moved to a position only 7 blocks away from them.

The sharp-eared Hellhound could even hear the rustling sounds coming from the bushes.

Ma Lu nodded at her, "Go ahead!"

The Bok Choy Scout's fire was weak, it was the perfect time for the Hellhound to shine, and the purple-haired girl, who had been holding back for a long time, charged out like an arrow released from a bow.

The Bok Choy Scout in the bushes didn't even have a chance to show its head before it was taken down in two moves by the Hellhound.

Ma Lu continued to move forward to take photographs and save them, this time, there were only 1200 Holy Silver Coins and an estimated reward of 10 Atonement Points.

However, Ma Lu wasn't one to complain about a small bounty, and he waited about 10 minutes on the spot, taking out 6 nearby Energized Plants that were attracted by the vibrations, before he moved on.

Unlike other Knights who could only rely on luck, with the Chessboard Map in hand, Ma Lu could clearly grasp the movement patterns of all enemies in the nearby area.

He could know where the strong enemies were and which ones were easier to deal with.

Ma Lu picked out the easy targets, and in an hour and a half, he had accumulated 314 Atonement Points and 37,000 Holy Silver Coins, while also gaining 268 Knight experience points.

Your journey continues at empire

The Knight Level went from Level 3 to Level 4 without a hitch.

Another Virtual Item was unlocked— the Assault Banner.

Like the Recovery Banner, the Assault Banner took effect once placed, providing a 2-point boost to the attack attributes of teammates within the specified cell.

Similarly, once placed, it couldn't be moved, and it could only be used once per game.

Also, Ma Lu noticed that only one type of Virtual Item could be used in the same cell, meaning that if a Recovery Banner was placed, then the Assault Banner couldn't be placed in the same cell to benefit from both buffs at the same time.

Clearly, the Secondary Tour System was encouraging players to use the effects of Virtual Items judiciously to cope with different environments, avoiding stacking all effects on one cell to transform into a Super Saiyan, capable of destroying heavens and earth.

......

After an hour and a half of battle, the HP of the three Witches had dropped to varying degrees, with Yun Que and Bliss Bird, being ranged professions, not taking much damage, but Hellhound, being melee, had lost a significant amount of health, a whole 26 points.

However, their Sin Value was well controlled and only increased by 4 points since they refrained from using any active skills.

Bliss Bird pulled out the Resurrection Book she had tucked away earlier, wanting to cast Healing Magic on Hellhound, but Ma Lu stopped her.

Bliss Bird's Recovery Magic was instant and extremely valuable during battle, Ma Lu would rather use a banner to heal Hellhound, it would just take some time.

So he moved forward a bit more and picked an area with a high concentration of Energized Plants, found a cell in the middle, planted the Recovery Banner to heal Hellhound, and also gave the team a half-hour rest.

After half an hour, when everyone's condition was fully restored, Ma Lu once again commenced the attack, spending another two hours raising his Knight Level from Level 4 to Level 5.

This time, Ma Lu unlocked another Knight Skill— Weather Forecast.

Weather Forecast: Changes the weather within a 12×12 grid, under different weather conditions enemies and allies will receive different buffs and debuffs, cooldown time of 2 hours.

The skill description might seem vague at first glance, the specific effects would only be known after trying it out.

Since it was his first time, Ma Lu didn't pick too strong an opponent and went for an old acquaintance, the Cucumber Skull Crusher.
