Chapter 290 - Force Guidance Chip

Chapter 290: Force Guidance Chip

No wonder these NPCs are so much stronger than the players! With the Force as well as Legendary Grade equipment, even if a player were fully equipped with Rare Grade gear, he or she would have no chance of winning in a one-on-one situation! Feng Luo thought.

However, Feng Luo did not think it was weird that a supernatural ability like the Force would appear in a sci-fi game like War. Even StarCraft used psionic energy, so the appearance of the Force from Star Wars wasn’t something to be surprised about!

But a Legendary Grade Gun Barrel actually requires a C-rank authorization to purchase. Looks like Legendary Grade gear won’t be making an appearance that easily. It’s definitely much rarer than Rare Grade equipment! Feng Luo pondered as he looked at the first piece of Legendary Grade equipment that appeared before him.

The item required a C-rank Authorization. Clearly, it meant that he could not get it at the moment. However, Haruko had mentioned earlier that they would be able to obtain Authorizations from completing missions, so it was just a matter of time before these pieces of Legendary equipment made their appearance!

Added to the war between Dongsang City’s rebel army and the Federation, there was no doubt that the game was entering a new stage!

Since I can’t buy it right now, I can forget about it for the moment. However, there’s one thing that I can try searching for right now!

Feng Luo’s eyes glowed, and then, he spoke. “Search keyword: Force!”

The items surrounding him changed again. And this time the thing that appeared before him was a tiny white biochip!

[Force Guidance Chip (Beginner)]. Grade: Special. Points Required: 1,000 (Untradeable)!

Feng Luo saw the name of the chip and was a little surprised.

In his mind, something like the Force should be kept confidential. At the very least, it should be at the same level as Legendary Grade items. Much to his surprise, the system tagged it with a relatively cheap price!

However, at that moment, Haruko’s gentle and slightly surprised voice reached his ears.

“You searched for the Force chip?”

“Right. I was going to tell all of you later anyway. I might as well address it now!”

As Haruko’s words faded, the surrounding scene transformed once more.

The bodies of the five players and Haruko were instantly seated inside a dark and endless space surrounded by stars and galaxies.

“Since someone searched for the keyword, ‘the Force,’ I’ll be explaining it to everyone.”

“The Force?” Big Pineapple seemed completely confused.

As for the girl genius, Digital Cat, her eyes glowed, and her gaze focused on Feng Luo.

“The Force is a special kind of energy. Back when the Galaxy Empire entered the universe, they discovered this energy that spread across the entire universe!” At that moment, Haruko had already begun her explanation.

“To put it simply, the Force can be separated into Life Force and Universe Force.”

“Life Force is created by life, and only life forms can produce Life Force.”

“The Life Force of every living creature creates an energy field around it. Then, through a special method, a person can manipulate their energy field and gain access to incredible power without relying on high-tech weapons!”

Haruko opened her palms, and spots golden energy began to appear. Then they converged to form a tiny energy ball.

After that, she tossed the energy ball to the side. It flew about ten meters away from her into the void, then exploded.

Boom!

A wave of energy spread outward. It was just as strong as an energy burst from fireballs conceived through the energy converter (Staff) of top-class manipulators after they had consumed crystals.

“F*ck me!” Big Pineapple’s eyes widened.

Digital Cat, Phoenix, and Onishi also looked shocked.

Only Feng Luo maintained his placid expression. He had already seen something like that before through the Scout Beetle, so he was more aware of the Force’s strength.

“In addition, by manipulating Life Force, one can also strengthen one’s physical stats. It could even help the human body realize its true potential!” As she spoke, a samurai sword appeared in Haruko’s right hand, then a dark red alloy shield appeared in front of her. Immediately after that, she lifted the sword with both hands before slashing at the shield.

Slash!

The samurai sword flashed with a light golden energy and the alloy shield was cut in half!

That attack...

Everyone looked stunned.

“Holy sh*t, why did she have to use my shield as an example...?”

Big Pineapple discovered, with sadness, that the shield Haruko used was one of his best alloy shields. Of course, it was only a virtual space, so his actual shield was still in his backpack. As such, he did not suffer any losses.

However, since Haruko used the shield as an example, it meant that she should also be able to cut the heavy alloy shield in half in “real life.” Without a doubt, this proved that after mastering the Force, one’s strength would increase drastically.

It was especially significant for Feng Luo since he knew that Big Pineapple’s shield was a Rare Grade Level 50 shield with amazing stats.

“Miss Haruko, can adventurers like us also use this Force?” asked the Scout, Onishi, eagerly. His eyes showed an amazing desire for strength!

“Yes!” Haruko nodded and said, “Although it is difficult for one to awaken the Force, the Federal government found a relic from the era of the Galaxy Empire not that long ago, and they’ve discovered a few decent methods of awakening the Force!”

“Every Special Agent of the Federation can buy a ‘Force Guidance Chip,’ which will allow them to awaken the Force. It’s especially easy for you adventurers to do so!”

After hearing Haruko’s words, everyone looked happy. Then, Big Pineapple asked excitedly, “Then, after awakening the Force, will my attack also reach the level where I can cut an alloy shield in half?”

Although Big Pineapple’s defense was incredible, he had suffered quite a bit during the mission due to his lack of attacking strength.

If he gained Haruko’s attack, then he would completely mend his weakness!

Haha! I’d be invincible!

“No!”

However, Haruko’s reply was like a pail of cold water poured on his face.

“Though the Force has certain commonalities, everyone’s awakened Force will be significantly different. The stats of the Force will be closely related to your potential and talent!”

“Talent?”

The stats of the awakened Force will be closely related to the talent. That explains what Hunting Tiger said earlier! When Feng Luo heard Haruko’s words, he suddenly remembered something.

Hunting Tiger told Feng Luo during the examination mission, “To gain real strength, you must rely on yourself to awaken your naturally-born potential!”

However, you can only rely on yourself... Isn’t this the complete opposite of what Haruko just said?

Feng Luo was a little puzzled.

“The Force chip will definitely help one awaken, but it is mostly a supporting tool. It can analyze your body’s talent and physical attributes. Then, it can tell you how you should develop. So, essentially, to awaken the Force, you have to rely on yourself!”

Haruko seemed to understand the confusion on the players’ mind, so she explained.

“Apart from that, there’s one more thing; the stronger the individual is, the higher the probability of awakening the Force!”

“Which means that the awakening has a level requirement?...”

Feng Luo and Digital Cat’s eyes glowed.
