If one could say that money already dominated most things in this world before the transcendentalization,
Then after the world underwent transcendentalization,
Money could almost dominate the vast majority of things in the world.
With enough money, it meant you could even become an 18-level transcendent right after birth, it meant you could buy a large number of consumable items like Attribute Exchange Coupons that were limited in use to enhance your own strength, it meant you could be fully armed when entering secret realms, it meant... you had not only money but also power.
"Gaobei City" was already a city of chaos.
And the Envy Organization almost had unchecked power in Gaobei City, as long as they didn't do anything too outrageous that would make those above want to deal with them, people from the Envy Organization could move around Gaobei City without any obstructions.
For example... using a private plane to forcibly land on the highway for the transportation of "AI Pills" was something most cities wouldn't dare to do. Doing so in Jingjiu City merely suggested that they thought they had too many family members and wanted to clear some space in the family register, but the Envy Organization had done it many times in Gaobei City already, with no accidents occurring to date.
...
And in this major event,
Every transcendent who was watching the live stream recognized Chen Miao, the one who was wreaking havoc in the big event, the same person who had killed the siege boss single-handedly a few days ago, and they all silently realized something.
Although they didn't know why Chen Miao could shoot so many bullets at once, they were sure he had gained some sort of opportunity related to the Gunman Profession, and once he advanced further, he was sure to be another pinnacle figure in the Gunman series.
For a moment—
There were those who wanted to recruit him, those who wanted to destroy him early, and those who were thinking who knows what.
There were all sorts of thoughts in life, each with their own ideas.
After an indefinite amount of time,
The Chen Miao in the event suddenly looked up and found his view no longer obstructed by trees; the forest had disappeared at some point, leaving the ground looking incredibly messy and chaotic. Apart from their group, he could no longer see any other players.
Perhaps some players were lucky enough to have escaped the catastrophe by hiding in underground caves.
But Chen Miao didn't plan to waste time looking for them. His score was already high enough, a whole 18,000 points, crushing the second-place score of just over 10,000 points. The one in second place only had 181 points.
There was no chance of them catching up to him, especially since the name of the person in second place had already darkened.
They were already waiting in the waiting space.
However, if they didn't plan to return to the battlefield, that 181 points for second place could almost be set in stone.
He had killed roughly 3,000 players to gain more than 3,000 points. Added to that were the points he gained from killing the guardians of treasure chests while destroying the forest, amounting to over 9,000 points in total because he had opened a treasure chest earlier that doubled any points he gained through any means.
It would adapt to whatever weapon you faced and would add 100 bullets to your magazine, greatly enhancing the continuous combat capabilities of a gunman.
Of course, he didn't need it, but to other gunmen, the Adaptive Magazine Extension was definitely an exciting prospect.
Righteous Gauntlets and the Axe of Cowardice were both fighter's weapons.
The Righteous Gauntlets could restore a player's health with each attack, while the Axe of Cowardice allowed a player to deal double damage when attacking players with lower Strength values and receive double damage when attacked by players with higher Strength values.
He let Hungry Monkey choose for himself which one he wanted more, and, after a moment of hesitation, Hungry Monkey chose the Axe of Cowardice.
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the E-grade item Axe of Cowardice*1."
He tossed it to Hungry Monkey and opened another chest.
"Ding! The treasure is a Gunman Profession transfer item."
"The player may choose one of the following three items."
"1: Gunman Transfer Book*1000."
"2: Hidden Gunman Profession Transfer Book 'Mechanical Demon'*1."
"3: Unique Hidden Occupation Transfer Book 'Gun Devil'*1, requires completion of a special prerequisite quest, which to date, 9 people have attempted, 0 have succeeded."
"Heh!"
Seeing the scene before him, Chen Miao couldn't help but grin. Before coming in, he had hoped that this big event would drop a transfer book for a hidden occupation. Having reached level 3, he was preparing for his First Turn, originally aiming for the Second Turn 'Heavy Gunner'.
Now it seemed as though the Second Turn 'Gun Devil' was also quite tempting.
The Mechanical Demon pathway was the same as that of Sang Biao from Fengtian City, belonging to the Mechanical Ascension type that transforms oneself. Who said gunmen were weak in the flesh? Then just discard the flesh and take on Great Strength King Kong!
Efficient in both close and long-range combat!
Not quite fitting for him.
In the end, he chose the third option, the 'Gun Devil' hidden occupation. Its introduction stated, 'will greatly increase the player's attack and burst capabilities.' Nine people had taken on this hidden occupation's quest, but so far, not one had succeeded.
The quest was—
"As a Gun Devil, you should have an extraordinary fervor for firearms."
"Within 24 hours, fire 200,000 bullets using any firearm."
A hidden occupation begins from the Second Turn, and for a level 3 gunman player, completing this task was nearly impossible, but he was perfectly capable... at a price.
