303: Unlock Secret Service

After some time, Xiao Yun integrated the gold powder scraped from 16 different golden gazelles into his family heirloom military dagger. When the system panel appeared, he had finally completed the upgrade of his first family heirloom.

Previously, Xiao Yun had used three red-quality materials—Myriad Gold Bars, Spined Dragon Fossils, and a military drone—to upgrade the military dagger.

For the final levels, from 95 to 100, the material used was the golden gazelle, which Xiao Yun had seen quite a bit of in the restricted zone.

Thankfully, the upgrade didn't require big red items of 2x3 or 3x3, otherwise, Boss Shi wouldn't have been able to find so many materials.

While finding the military drone and golden gazelle materials was difficult, after several twists and turns, and with the help of Shi Erzhu's connections and Liu Shihhan's ideas, Xiao Yun successfully acquired the necessary upgrade materials for free over the course of an afternoon.

military knife

Damage: 100 (Maxed)

Movement Speed Bonus: 80% (Maxed)

Attack Speed: Extremely Fast (Maxed)

Attack Range: Medium (Maxed)

Reinforcement Required: mandel brick x1

Just as he saw.

At this point, most of the family heirloom military dagger's attributes had reached their maximum, and even its name had changed.

It was no longer called a military dagger, but had directly become a military knife.

After all, with the increase in attack range, the blade of this knife had reached 30 centimeters, moving beyond the scope of a dagger and becoming a standard short knife.

However, what surprised Xiao Yun was that even after the military knife reached level 100, its upgrade wasn't over.

Although its level and basic attributes had reached their maximum, there were still three empty slots in the special skills section, currently displayed as question marks, which clearly indicated new abilities that could be unlocked through reinforcement.

And what Xiao Yun found even more unexpected was that the next reinforcement material was a mandel brick!

“Can this thing... be found in this world?”

Seeing that the next material required for reinforcement was a mandel brick, Xiao Yun was somewhat bewildered.

In the game of his previous life, the mandel brick was an item that appeared randomly within a match. It would randomly spawn on the map each game, along with two broken relay stations. By taking the mandel brick to a deciphering location and using a special device to decipher it, one could successfully extract the mandel brick.

Its main purpose was to draw skins, and both the mandel brick itself and the skins drawn from it could be listed on the market for trading.

Although Xiao Yun wasn't a high-tier player in his previous life, he had extracted no fewer than ten mandel bricks. Because he didn't trust his luck, he usually listed them on the trading market to exchange for points.

In this world where the restricted zone had descended into reality, Xiao Yun had seemingly never heard any news about mandel bricks, leading him to believe that such an item didn't exist in this world.

“But since it's appearing as a reinforcement material now, there should be mandel bricks in this world. However, I probably won't know anything until I join the Special Operations Department...”

Xiao Yun thought to himself, and at the same time, he took out his phone and found Jian Fei and Du Le's contact information in the group chat.

After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yun sent a text message, inquiring about the mandel brick.

The two quickly replied, but their answers suggested they hadn't heard of such a thing, expressing their inability to understand.

“Could it be that even the Special Operations Department isn't aware of this item's situation yet?”

Xiao Yun had his doubts, and just then, the long-silent system notification suddenly sounded.

“Hint: The current family heirloom has completed its upgrade! The second slot of the family heirloom has been unlocked. Please choose your next family heirloom to claim.”

As the system notification appeared, a translucent system panel immediately appeared before Xiao Yun.

He saw that, in addition to the military knife which was already maxed out, there were 15 other types of family heirlooms that could be unlocked.

Among them were 7 types of firearms: the SMG-Viktor, the Rifle-ASH, the Light Machine Gun-M250, the Shotgun-M1014, the Marksman Rifle-M14, the Sniper Rifle-M700, and the Pistol-G18.

While each firearm might not be the strongest of its type, it was certainly the most distinctive, and all were commonly used weapons for run-and-gun play, each with its own unique characteristics. Some were repair guns used for inventory takeover, some were glass cannons for high-risk, high-reward plays, and others were special firearms used for certain unique starting strategies.

In addition, there were 4 types of equipment among the family heirlooms: the Hearing Headset, the Bulletproof Vest, the Chest Rig, and the Backpack.

Needless to say, these family heirlooms would undoubtedly be extremely powerful after upgrading. Xiao Yun didn't even need to test them; just imagining the terror of the Hearing Headset and Bulletproof Vest after unlocking their special abilities was enough.

However, for now, combat power was not what Xiao Yun was in a hurry to improve.

Therefore, the 7 firearms and 4 types of equipment, totaling 11 family heirlooms, were not what Xiao Yun needed at the moment.

Xiao Yun looked at the remaining 5 family heirlooms. Besides the Warehouse, which he had planned to unlock earlier, and the Special Operations Department, which he was currently preparing to unlock, the rest were three types of family heirlooms: Medicine, Collectibles, and Access Cards.

Xiao Yun could understand Medicine and Access Cards; given the current situation, he wouldn't have much use for these two family heirlooms.

However, upon seeing the description for Collectibles, Xiao Yun's eyes widened.

“Collectibles - family heirloom: Unlocks special appearances, grants weapons and equipment higher economic value.”

“Good heavens, I didn't expect to be able to play with skins in this world too!”

Seeing the description for Collectibles, Xiao Yun realized that this wasn't the big red or big gold collectible, but rather a skin collectible!

Although this item seemed useless and provided no special abilities, the problem was that it looked cool!

Moreover, the system also described that the main purpose of this collectible was to give weapons and equipment higher economic value.

After all, in this world where everyone was a run-and-gun player, the spending power of the rich and poor was completely different. A fully modified M14 might at most be worth 800,000, but there would inevitably be some wealthy second-generation rich who pursued higher quality weapons and firearms. At such a time, if an M4A1 - Prism Formula suddenly appeared in the world, its value would probably be no less than the top-tier big red items in the restricted zone, and it could even be displayed in an exhibition hall or given to research institutes for study as high-grade combat readiness material.

“Currently, it seems the two most useful family heirlooms are the Special Operations Department and Collectibles.”

Xiao Yun thought silently.

One could provide the ability to manufacture six sets and level six immortal bullets, and the other could provide high income, and importantly, it looked cool.

And honestly, these sixteen family heirlooms each had their own merits. Xiao Yun truly wished he could unlock all of them immediately, level them up to max, and enjoy using them.

However, for now, it was better to prioritize unlocking the Special Operations Department.

“Unlock family heirloom, Special Operations Department.”

“Ding! Unlock successful!”

“Obtained family heirloom: Special Operations Department!”

The system notification sounded, and the Special Operations Department panel appeared before Xiao Yun.
