Chapter 942: Secret

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

Aziz stared at the pair of dark green set equipment for a while. To be honest, the value of this pair of boxing gloves could be considered to have surpassed two pieces of dark gold equipments.

They could be used for both offence and defence. They could punch a hole through the enemy's defence when they attack, and they could turn the wearer into a well fortified fortress when they defend.

'Uppercut' was a very good crowd control ability, as was 'Tactical Throw'. After the upgrade from the set effect enabled the ability to throw living creatures, it could display its usefulness in many ways. Finally, the boxing gloves also increased blocking rate. Every property of these gloves was extraordinarily valuable.

And the most invaluable fact was that both pieces of the set was dropped together!

For contestants, the most frustrating part with set equipments lay in the word "set"!

Without the set effects, the properties of a single dark green equipment may not even be comparable to a silver storyline equipment. They also had pretty obvious negative effects. For example, these pair of boxing gloves both needed to be recharged either by spending a lot of utility points or by feeding them other equipments! How many people could afford to do that? Each piece by itself was probably less practical than a black equipment.

Contestants who obtained a dark green equipment usually wouldn't be able to obtain the rest of the set themselves. They could only purchase the rest of the set through the realm at exorbitant prices.

However, once the set was completed, it will show its power! 'Tactical Throw' could be used on living creatures! First, the wearer can stun the enemy with an 'Uppercut', then grab the enemy and throw them off a cliff! Such a shameless tactic!

Not only that, the ability could also be used to throw an enemy into a crowd of allies, or throw an ally who's good at AoE attack towards the battlefield to let them quickly join in the battle, or throw a near-death ally towards a safe place....

A tiny pair of gloves brought about infinite possibilities in tactical changes!

If Zeus got his hands on this pair of boxing gloves, his power would increase by more than 30%! And that was only Aziz's conservative estimate!

However, Zeus was destined to miss out on these gloves.

Aziz could only obtain the pair of boxing gloves if Sheyan willingly give up on them. But was that possible? Of course, Aziz could just embezzle them, but that thought never even crossed his mind.

On a personal level, Aziz was an extremely arrogant guy. He had never done this kind of thing ever since he became strong. He's the type to always push forward at full speed, without looking back! He would do anything for the sake of survival, but embezzling equipments for his own gain went against his conscience. Doing something like that would likely have an effect on his state of mind.

On an official level, Aziz still needed to cooperate with Sheyan on the Golden Side Mission. With the promise of even greater profit, Aziz wouldn't sour his relationship with Sheyan right now.

Despite having countless thoughts running through his mind, Aziz was actually just stunned for a moment. He then raised the pair of boxing gloves and asked in a cold demeanor:

"Do you want these?"

Sheyan raised his eyebrows and smiled as he replied:

"Take a freaking guess."

Aziz harrumphed coldly and threw the gloves at Sheyan. Immediately, the glow on the old sack that looked like a spider cocoon left by Jones dimmed down. Aziz told Sheyan:

"I'll take the rest."

Sheyan nodded:

"OK, no problem."

Jones' other "remnants" consisted of a black grade armour and some miscellaneous items. However, in Aziz's opinion, the most valuable thing left was probably the "Galaxy". If Aziz could get the Galaxy, he's not losing out by much.

Unfortunately, poor Aziz didn't know that the real Galaxy had been resting in Sheyan's personal space for quite a while. He was bound to take a loss in the distribution of spoils this time.

Right after Sheyan got the gloves, he immediately carried out the DNA matching. The gloves looked gray and unspectacular because they were originally intended for mining purposes and were only transformed into combat weapons later on.

However, as soon as they were activated, the alloy skeleton on every finger joint and on each wrist would rotate rapidly. The rotation speed would definitely get more intense during battle. The power that erupted from the gloves would definitely be amazing!

But the recharging problem shocked Sheyan speechless! If he opted to use utility points, he would need a staggering 47,000 points to charge them from their current empty state into full energy load! Fortunately, Sheyan had obtained two pieces of blue equipments after battling all the way here. He fed them to the gloves and saw that the energy level had recovered by around 25%, which meant that he would need about 8 blue equipments to fully charge the gloves.

In the current market, the price of an ordinary blue equipment was about 2000 utility points. Of course, abnormal blue equipments like Sheyan's '+7 West' were outliers. If Sheyan used equipments to recharge, he would need about 16,000 utility points worth of equipments to fully charge the gloves. That's a lot more cost-effective than directly paying with utility points.

It's just that his party's 'Flesh Explosion' ability also required the sacrifice of equipments to upgrade. With the addition of gluttons like the boxing gloves, all equipments below black grade obtained by the Ace Party from now on would probably be internally consumed.....

Next, Sheyan tried out the 'Uppercut'. He found that the ability was probably more useful in battles between contestants. It was a bit lacking for battles with storyline characters because some of the larger characters could not be forced to leave the ground with 'Uppercut'.

'Tactical Throw', on the other hand, was excellent. If he threw stones or similar projectiles at a target, the effects would differ depending on the size of the stone. A palm-sized stone would cause damage to the target based on Strength + Physique, and stun the target for 2 seconds. Larger stones had shorter range, but a circular shockwave would appear where they landed.

If he tried to throw an ally, the ally had the right to refuse.

Next, Sheyan checked with the realm and found that the boxing gloves he wore were classified as "small-sized precision gloves". If he learned the advanced mastery of the gloves, he could use other weapons while wearing them. Of course, the effects of the two types of weapons do not stack.

After he finished dealing with his own matters, he found Aziz frowning at something that looked like a piece of stone, but also like a piece of bone. Aziz believed that this object was the one most likely to reveal the location of the Galaxy among the things that Jones left behind, so he naturally had to inspect it carefully. Sheyan kept quiet and turned to the MIB agents who were on their last legs.

"We've killed Jones, and all of you are pretty heavily injured. What are your plans now?"

Senior Agent S coughed a few times and replied with a frown:

"We've obtained first-hand evidence of Jones' death. Although the Galaxy has not been found, we finally have something for the unreasonable Arquillians. If we stay here in this sinister place and meet with any danger later, we'll only die a dog's death, so we plan to return to the ground and contact the Arquillians first. We should be able to buy some time from them."

Sheyan and Aziz must now escort these guys back again, not at the insistence of the MIB agents, but at the insistence of Sheyan and Aziz - if a few of them lost their lives on the way back, Sheyan and Aziz would probably break down in tears!

  *************

When the MIB agents were escorted back, Z was overjoyed. He did not renege on his words and had immediately fulfilled his promise. He handed over a USB drive which contained a part of the MIB gun technology to both Sheyan and Aziz.

The two of them did not plan to stop here. They planned to continue digging up the secrets of this huge underground reproductive system. Sheyan had a feeling that some kind of secret must be hidden in the deepest part of the structure, while Aziz's intuition told him that the Galaxy was somewhere inside the damn thing.

Sheyan sighed at the sharpness of Aziz's intuition, but Aziz could never imagine that the Galaxy was actually in Sheyan hands. It's a good thing that they had Jones's tail now, so they no longer had to wait for the ovary to ovulate to go anywhere. They could just puncture a hole in the meat wall with the tail. The tail made it very convenient for them to explore the secrets of this strange, deep, gigantic womb.

It didn't take long for Sheyan and Aziz to patrol every incubator room, but unfortunately, they didn't find anything special. Suddenly, a low humming noise reverberated throughout the inside of the huge organ. The noise was full of an oppressive feeling and almost caused Sheyan and Aziz to vomit blood. It lasted for a whole ten seconds before it stopped.

"Over here!" exclaimed Aziz sharply as he suddenly pointed at a corner of the wall with his facial muscles twitching. Sheyan strode over without a word and proceeded to stab Jones' tail into the spot Aziz pointed at. However, Jones' tail, which had met absolutely no resistance so far, had inexplicably failed. It couldn't pierce into meat wall at that spot! It seemed that the key was still the key, but the keyhole was gone.

Aziz pulled out his rifle and stabbed the bayonet into the meat wall. When he pulled it out, a pale yellow liquid sprayed out. Aziz managed to dodge sideways, but his face immediately soured.

That's because the sharp bayonet on his rifle was now covered in a yellowish-green rust!
