From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 369 - 265: Harvest, Sniper Rifle, Commanding Will_3

Chapter 369: Chapter 265: Harvest, Sniper Rifle, Commanding Will_3

Lin Zeyu felt a bit regretful, "My SVD sniper rifle has dual special effects. If I switch to this sniper rifle, wouldn’t the materials I’ve invested be wasted?"

Lu Heng explained, "That’s not necessarily the case. If you’re sure you don’t want the SVD sniper rifle anymore, you can extract the Spiritual Injection Materials and quenching materials from it.

"However, there will be some loss during the extraction. Since the quenching materials are relatively easier to obtain, I suggest only extracting the Spiritual Injection Materials."

Lin Zeyu hurriedly asked, "If I extract the materials, does that mean the SVD sniper rifle will become unusable?"

Lu Heng nodded and answered, "Of course, extracting the Spiritual Injection Materials will cause some damage to the rifle’s body. It might still work, but its accuracy will definitely decrease; it’ll be basically scrapped."

Lin Zeyu frowned, "Then what if I’m not used to the new gun? Won’t this put me at a disadvantage?"

Lu Heng replied, "Yes, so you need to think carefully before making a decision. You can try the new rifle first, and if it’s effective, proceed to extract materials from your original rifle.

"Alternatively, you could directly use the SVD sniper rifle to exchange materials. After all, extracting Spiritual Injection Materials could fail, and even if successful, there will still be some loss.

"This SVD sniper rifle is actually pretty good. Exchanging it for Spiritual Injection Materials would be a decent option, depending on whether any faction wants to make a trade."

Now, at the end of December during the Abyss Descent, some weapons with Spiritual Injection special effects had appeared, but they were not many.

Weapons with dual special effects were even less common; thus, this SVD sniper rifle, if placed on the market, would still be a top-tier weapon.

If sold at auction, it could fetch a sky-high price.

Moreover, firearms are still the preferred choice for many Superpower Users, and sniper rifles are the best option for long-range damage.

With Lu Heng’s strength, he wasn’t too fearful of sniper rifles, but he still needed to be cautious when dealing with them.

For other Superpower Users below Level 25, facing this Dual Effect SVD sniper rifle would be a tough challenge.

Thus, for other Superpower User organizations, this sniper rifle with dual special effects was a terrifying weapon.

Overall, if you extract the Spiritual Injection Materials from the SVD sniper rifle, you’ll only get two pieces of material, provided the extraction is successful.

After extracting the material, you would need to perform Spirit Injection on the new weapon, which also has a chance of failure.

After all is said and done, you might end up with no materials and an unsuccessful Spirit Injection.

At that point, the SVD sniper rifle would be a total waste.

Moreover, aside from the value of the Spiritual Injection Materials on this SVD sniper rifle, there is also the value of the Spirit Injection craftsmanship provided by Lu Heng and the value of 2000 points of Divine Energy.

From the perspective of maximizing benefits, it’s definitely better to exchange it for Spiritual Injection Materials.

After listening to this, Lin Zeyu nodded and said, "That’s true, I’ll give it a try and see if I can exchange it for Spiritual Injection Materials. A Dual Effect Sniper Rifle must be worth more than just two pieces of such materials."

For many major forces, even if they have Spiritual Injection Materials, they may not be able to create a weapon with dual special effects.

After all, on Blue Star, the Quenching Masters with relatively high success rates are practically only Lu Heng.

Quenching Masters from other countries have to rely on piling up materials and multiple attempts to get a successful Spirit Injection.

Additionally,

Superpower Users also have other channels to obtain special effect weapons, such as on the Abyss Battlefield, if they encounter a Quenching Master from the Abyss World, there is also a chance to acquire weapons with Spiritual Injection special effects.

Lin Zeyu had been using the SVD sniper rifle for over half a year and found it quite suitable. He was momentarily reluctant to part with it, so he decided to keep it for now and would consider trading it after getting used to the new Electromagnetic Accelerated Sniper Rifle Z-100.

However, as time went on, the number of weapons with dual special effects would gradually increase, and the value of this SVD sniper rifle would naturally decrease as well.

Lin Zeyu planned to practice with the Electromagnetic Accelerated Sniper Rifle after returning home, and once he was accustomed to it, he would consider how to sell the SVD sniper rifle.

...

In addition to the Electromagnetic Accelerated Sniper Rifle, Lu Heng also obtained quite a few spoils of war.

At Thames Base, he acquired more than a dozen Crystal Cores, one of which was a Skill Crystal Core suitable for use.

However, on the way, Lu Heng was still considering whether or not to use it.

Because this Skill Crystal Core was "Commanding Will."

Lu Heng’s current Skill Slot was full, and he couldn’t absorb a new Skill Crystal Core anymore.

However, he already had the "Spirit Control" Skill, which was of the same type as "Commanding Will."

These two skills could be fused, and after fusion, there was a chance to obtain a higher-level skill.

The question was whether or not to fuse them.

The reason for his hesitation was that Lu Heng was considering whether to keep this skill slot dedicated to Spiritual Skills.

Although Lu Heng’s Spiritual Attribute was not low, he was not a Spiritual Superpower User.

If in the future, he received a World Task reward that included the option to remove skills, he could potentially clear this skill slot.

Then he would be able to learn new skills.

If he considered removing this skill in the future, then using the "Commanding Will" Skill Crystal Core now would be somewhat wasteful.

After all, this Crystal Core was Grade B, and its control effect was strong.

After much consideration, Lu Heng ultimately decided to keep the skill. Even if there were World Task rewards in the future, he could choose something else.

Having a Spiritual Skill can be very useful at times.

For instance, back in Black Stone City, if he had this skill when searching for Traitors, it wouldn’t have been so complicated.

At that time, it was necessary to rely on a Spiritual Superpower User named Zhao Liwen to conduct Spiritual Torture.

Since Zhao Liwen herself could not be completely ruled out as a Traitor, the Spiritual Torture she conducted also had an element of uncertainty.

If someone from his own team had the Spiritual Torture Skill, things would have been much simpler, and the Traitor could have been identified within minutes.

After careful consideration, Lu Heng chose to absorb the "Commanding Will" Skill Crystal Core, infusing 1200 points of Divinity and undergoing Skill Fusion.

After the fusion of the two skills, the resulting skill was a Grade B "Spiritual Dominance," whose skill effect was slightly stronger than "Commanding Will."
