150: Chapter 146 8x Scope! Sniper Rifle!

Lu Yuan's gaze swept back and forth between the three runes.

[Prismatic · Final Form]

He had seen this Hextech Rune before.

It had appeared during his last selection.

He just hadn't chosen it at the time.

But the other two...

[Gold · Sniper's Shooting Star.]

[Gold · Pressure Cooker.]

Lu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly.

These were both runes he was seeing for the first time.

"This seems to be a new version of the Hextech Rune..."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself in his heart.

Before he transmigrated, Hextech Brawl had just released part of the new version's content.

He hadn't had time to study it before arriving in this world.

Therefore, he didn't know much about the new version of Hextech Runes.

However, judging from the effect descriptions of these two runes...

Lu Yuan's gaze landed on that row of text, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Sniper's Shooting Star! The further the attack distance, the higher the damage, with no upper limit for improvement!!

Pressure Cooker! Deals stackable burn damage to nearby enemies every second, scaling with maximum HP.

A flash of brilliance flickered in Lu Yuan's eyes and then vanished.

"These two runes are both at an overpowered level!"

Especially Pressure Cooker... If he let Little Skeleton choose Pressure Cooker, wouldn't it just take off instantly?

With Little Skeleton's tens of millions of HP, the burn damage dealt every second would be an astronomical figure!

Whatever Overlord-level BOSS, Emperor-level BOSS... even if a World-level BOSS came, Little Skeleton could solo it!

What a pity.

After a moment of hesitation, Lu Yuan reached out and tapped the first rune.

"You're the one."

Gold · Sniper's Shooting Star!

This rune, combined with the hidden evolution path 'Archer God'! Should have some potential.

And it fits very well with the Goblin's innate skill 'Precision'.

Hum!

The golden rune phantom turned into a streak of light and merged into the Goblin's forehead.

In the center of the summoning array, that green-skinned Goblin was standing there with a bewildered look on its face.

In its hand, it gripped a crooked wooden stick.

It was draped in a tattered piece of animal hide.

Thin and small, it looked fragile.

But when the golden rune merged into its forehead, it froze.

Those large, bewildered eyes suddenly widened.

"This... what is this?!"

The Goblin lowered its head, looking at its own rough little hands.

It could clearly perceive that a mysterious piece of information had appeared in its mind.

It was a kind of... power it had never encountered before!

After a moment of daze, a brilliant light suddenly erupted in the Goblin's eyes!

Mas... Master!

The Master had actually bestowed such an overpowered skill upon it!

The Goblin was trembling with excitement, almost ready to kneel and kowtow.

But the next second, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over it, and the excitement on its face instantly froze.

Because it discovered that it seemed... unable to use this skill.

Sniper's Shooting Star.

Requires using a skill to snipe an enemy 700 meters away.

700 meters... Even if it threw a stone with all its might, it could only hit something a dozen meters away.

The strongest Goblin in the tribe could only throw it a little over a hundred meters.

700 meters... It couldn't hit that far at all!

The Goblin's head drooped, like a puppy that had done something wrong.

The Master had given it such a good skill, yet it couldn't use it... It felt deeply guilty.

Just then, a warm, large hand gently stroked its forehead.

The Goblin looked up.

Lu Yuan was smiling at it.

"I bestow power upon you!"

The next second—Hum!!!

A dazzling golden light rose from the Goblin's body!

That golden light, like a raging fire, enveloped the Goblin's entire body.

Crack, crack, crack—the sounds of bones cracking came one after another.

Under the shroud of the golden light, the green-skinned Goblin's originally thin and weak body began to grow strong at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Muscles bulged, bones grew.

Pale golden patterns appeared on the surface of its skin.

Especially its arms; the arms that were originally as thin as withered branches now became long and powerful.

The muscles were tight, the lines smooth.

One could tell at a glance that they contained terrifying explosive power!

And its eyes.

Those large, originally bewildered and pure eyes, now became sharper!

Pupils contracted, the lines at the corners of its eyes lifted upward.

As sharp as a falcon!

A crisp system notification sound rang in Lu Yuan's mind:

[Congratulations! Your Magic Pet — Goblin, has successfully evolved into 'Goblin Archer'!]

[Race Level: Bronze Mid-tier → Gold High-tier!]

[All attributes greatly increased!]

[Gained new innate skill: Ten Thousand Bullets!]

[Gained new innate skill: Magic Crystal Cannon!]

Lu Yuan's gaze landed on those two lines of skill descriptions.

[Ten Thousand Bullets: Simultaneously fires 7 bullets, dealing damage to enemies in a fan-shaped area in front.]

[Magic Crystal Cannon: Consumes Mana to generate a giant crystal-shaped cannonball. Upon hitting the first enemy, it deals a stun effect and slows nearby enemies. The flight distance of the Magic Crystal Cannon is unlimited, only stopping when it hits the first enemy. The stun duration depends on the flight distance.]

Lu Yuan gasped.

"Holy crap..."

He couldn't help but curse.

Magic Crystal Cannon!

Unlimited flight distance.

Stun duration depends on flight distance.

"This skill... is practically tailor-made for Sniper's Shooting Star!"

Lu Yuan's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Sniper's Shooting Star requires using a skill to snipe an enemy 700 meters away.

And Magic Crystal Cannon has unlimited flight distance.

In other words—as long as the Goblin can see far enough, it can hit!

The further the flight distance, the longer the stun duration!

The further the flight distance, the higher the meteor damage of Sniper's Shooting Star!

This is simply a perfect closed loop!

However... it was still missing one key thing.

Equipment!

Playing a sniper, how can you play without equipment!?

...Lu Yuan looked up.

Inside the secret chamber, Li Muyao and Lu Zhentian were watching him nervously.

Seeing Lu Yuan's gaze sweep over, both of their hearts jumped into their throats.

They had seen that golden evolution light clearly just now.

That green-skinned Goblin had indeed become stronger.

But just how strong?

Could it create miracles like the previous four Magic Pets?

Their hearts were filled with anticipation and also anxiety.

It wasn't until Lu Yuan smiled and nodded that the two of them breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Li Muyao and Lu Zhentian leaned in, both curiously examining the Goblin.

"Xiao Yuan, what ability did you actually make this Goblin obtain?"

Lu Yuan looked up and grinned.

"Sniper."

"However... it still needs some equipment."

Hearing this, Li Muyao was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"That's easy!"

She waved her hand, and a golden light screen appeared in front of Lu Yuan.

"Whatever equipment you need, just say it!"

"As long as it's something the Treasure Pavilion can obtain, I guarantee it will be provided!"

Lu Yuan looked closely.

On the light screen was a dense list of equipment.

Behind the name of each piece of equipment was the equipment's grade and effect.

Lu Yuan glanced at it, his pupils contracting slightly.

The top ten pieces of equipment on the list were all... Legendary-grade equipment!

And the effects of each one were very overpowered!

Lu Yuan's gaze swept over them one by one.

His heartbeat grew faster and faster.

Mom's Treasure Pavilion... it really was wealthy and generous!

However, what truly caught Lu Yuan's attention were two pieces of equipment among them.

His gaze fixed on the light screen.

"I want these two."

Lu Yuan reached out his finger and tapped the two lines of text on the light screen.

Li Muyao and Lu Zhentian leaned in.

On the light screen, the information for those two pieces of equipment was clearly visible:

[Rank 89: 8x scope]

Epic-grade equipment.

Effect 1 · Aim: Magnifies vision distance, increases hit rate.

Effect 2 · X-Ray Vision: Using the 8x scope grants X-ray vision effect.

[Rank 13: Death Sniper Rifle]

Legendary-grade equipment.

Effect 1 · Ultra-Long Range Sniping: Attack distance +1000.

Effect 2 · Headshot: Actively activate this skill to guarantee a headshot!

Effect 3 · Weak Point Damage: Attacking enemy weak points like the 'head, heart', etc., will deal an additional 50% damage.
