487: What is a capitalist?

"Well... do you remember Seyid, the guy with the ridiculously good gear inside the Endless Night Dam, whom you saw in the very first match?"

"Of course I remember. Are you saying you came to the Endless Night Dam specifically for his equipment?"

Xia Ming recalled the first match. At that time, he had been held captive by other teams and indeed encountered a Seyid wearing unknown equipment inside the Administrative Building.

Even the Tianshen Team, reputed to be the strongest team in Dragon Country, was so frightened upon seeing him that they immediately fled.

When everyone was finally preparing to evacuate, the Seyid's body was already lying in the storage room of the Parking Lot. Xia Ming knew without a doubt that this was Xiao Yun's doing.

After all, Xiao Yun entering the Endless Night Dam was no different from playing a grinding online game; no matter how strong an opponent he faced, he wouldn't last more than a minute.

Killing bosses, farming gear—it seemed Xiao Yun was the only person in the world who could treat the restricted zone like this.

Xia Ming thought silently, feeling even more stunned by Xiao Yun's strength.

Who would believe that this guy was currently just a rookie who had just passed the GTI assessment?

"That's right. I didn't get a chance to fight the boss when I teamed up with Song Qiuyun to enter the restricted zone this morning, but now it's time to have a proper encounter with him."

Xiao Yun Said calmly.

He felt no need to hide the matter of the real Seyid anymore.

After all, he was the only person in the world who knew the method to summon him.

As long as Xiao Yun kept the conditions for the real Seyid's appearance a secret, no one else would be able to obtain Said's level eight set, or the level seven sets worn by the three shield soldiers accompanying him.

This way, Xiao Yun would have the power to set the price when trading the level seven and level eight sets he possessed. The selling price wouldn't depend on what the equipment was actually worth, but on how much he wanted to sell it for.

What is a capitalist? Can it be called capital without a monopoly?

At this moment, Xiao Yun also felt that he was becoming increasingly business-minded.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Yun, what level of armor was that Seyid wearing?"

Just then, Liu Shihhan asked, sounding curious.

"Level eight."

"Level eight, huh? No wonder you're so fixated on the Endless Night Dam... Wait, Level EIGHT!?"

Liu Shihhan immediately realized something was wrong. How could it be Level Eight armor?

"Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying that Seyid's equipment wasn't Level Six armor, nor was it Level Seven, which is higher than Level Six, but instead, it completely surpassed the strongest known GTI equipment by two levels, reaching Level Eight protective effectiveness?"

"That's right."

"Oh my god! Doesn't that mean Level Five bullets hitting this Level Eight armor would be like a tickle, similar to using Level Three bullets against a Level Five set?"

Liu Shihhan was utterly shocked, and Xia Ming beside her also looked stunned!

They never imagined that the Seyid's equipment inside the Endless Night Dam was this good! It was beyond comprehension!

Level Eight protective armor meant it could perfectly defend against Level Five bullets. If someone wore this and launched an aggressive attack on Confidential Aerospace, couldn't they just kick an entire fully-equipped team to death?

Even if Liu Shihhan wore this gear into Confidential Aerospace, she could probably walk straight through the firing line of a three-person full team and turn them into paste!

"Level Three bullets against a Level Five set? It's not that easy."

Facing their shock, Xiao Yun merely smiled faintly, his expression calm.

One must know that the Level Eight armor he obtained from Said had a durability of a full 240!

With 240 durability, even the strongest armor-piercing weapon, the Great Wave, would require six shots to shred the armor, assuming the bullets and armor were of the same level.

Moreover, this wasn't Level Five protection; it was Level Eight!

The ability to defend against Level Five bullets was far stronger than Level Five armor defending against Level Three bullets.

Xiao Yun had tested this in his previous life's game: if he used the Great Wave, the close-combat divine artifact, with Level Three bullets to shred a Level Five set, the combination of extremely high rate of fire and excellent armor-piercing capability meant it only took about 0.4 seconds of TTK (Time to Kill) to eliminate a fully armored Level Five player.

However, the Level Eight armor currently in Xiao Yun's secure container would likely require two seconds of sustained, close-range shooting with Level Five Great Wave bullets just to break the armor.

Furthermore.

The most crucial point was that the Level Eight set Xiao Yun obtained from Seyid was only at the 'damaged' quality level!

[Equipment: Asala Heavy Bulletproof Vest (Damaged)

Defense Level: 8

Durability: 240 / 240

Price: Unknown

Rating: Cannot be rated]

If the damaged Level Eight armor alone had 240 durability, Xiao Yun didn't dare imagine how much durability a brand new one would possess!

Xiao Yun entered the restricted zone this time hoping to test his luck and see if he could acquire a better Level Eight set.

Once he maxed out the Heirloom Special Service Department, Xiao Yun would be able to infinitely recycle coffee beans and then mass-produce six sets.

Although he enjoyed running knife raids in both his previous life and this one, it wasn't too much to ask to wear decent protective gear when attempting knife raids in higher difficulty restricted zones, was it?

Moreover, the biggest taboo for Shu Shu knife raiders was being ambushed while looting containers.

Therefore, the ultimate knife raiding strategy was to first kill everyone on the map, and then loot the supplies—that would guarantee absolute safety.

Thinking this, Xiao Yun was eager to max out his Special Operations Department.

It must be noted that the current Blue Star GTI did not possess the capability to manufacture six sets, and coffee beans were items that could be traded in the real world, even bought on the exchange.

In other words, just like room cards.

Coffee beans in this world were extremely low-priced supplies!

"Let's go, let's enter the map!"
