Urban Battle Royale: A SSS-level Skill Every Time - Chapter 38

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

How did Brandon do it?

Of course, it was ‘unlimited firepower’ and ‘thermal vision’!

However, he could not say that.

Brandon replied, “I can see the giant ape from the skill I learned just now.”

His reply was half true.

This way, Annie would be more likely to believe it.

After Annie heard it, she nodded and no longer had any doubts.

The current situation could only be explained by the combination of Brandon’s skills and talent.

After Brandon explained, he did not care about what Annie was thinking and went to collect the loot. The giant ape took more than ten hits from the sniper rifle before it went down.

It was much harder to kill than the rainforest python and the giant bear.

That probably meant the loot it left behind would be pretty good.

Brandon walked over and opened the soul tomb. There was only one item inside, but it was enough to surprise Brandon.

Because…

It was a skill book!

He clicked to see the details.

[

]

[Do you want to learn (valid for this game only)?]

[Yes] [No]

Anything?

Looking at the description of the skill, Brandon thought for a moment.

Then he said to Annie, “Give me the sniper rifle.”

“Oh.”

Annie did not refuse but kept looking curiously at Brandon.

She wanted to know what he was up to again.

After equipping the sniper rifle, he first fired a shot at an oak tree not far from him. The bullet penetrated the tree trunk and flew into the distance.

Brandon nodded and turned around to learn the skill.

[You have learned ‘penetration’!]

He raised his gun again and fired another shot at the oak tree. The bullet also penetrated the tree trunk and flew into the depths of the rainforest, disappearing without a trace.

However, Brandon’s eyes revealed a hint of joy.

“Hey, what are you doing? Are you testing a skill? What skill?”

Annie asked from the side.

She was very smart. Seeing that Brandon had learned a skill between the two shots, she could roughly guess that he was testing the power of the skill.

That’s right!

Brandon was testing the power of penetration.

However…

It wasn’t as simple as that!

Brandon, who had unlimited firepower, did not need the ability to penetrate through bulletproof vests and helmets.

What he wanted was the ability to penetrate through trees and rocks!

And the word ‘anything’ in the description of penetration had attracted him.

He wanted to see if the ability to penetrate through trees and rocks would change and after he learned the skill.

If there were changes, it meant that the trees and rocks were also within the range of ‘anything’. In the future, when Brandon used his sniper rifle to kill the enemy from afar, even if there were some obstacles in between, he would not be afraid anymore.

Just now, when he was killing the giant ape from afar, there were some obstacles in between which affected the trajectory of his bullets.

If there were no changes, then everything would be the same as before. To Brandon, it would at most be a slight benefit, not much of an improvement.

But from the results of the experiment just now…

Yes!

There were changes!

Annie could not see it because her attributes were not high enough. The speed of the sniper rifle bullet was so fast that ordinary people naturally could not see it.

But Brandon was different.

His attributes had already increased by 20 points and were now close to 30 points.

The two shots just now were completely different in his eyes.

The time it took to penetrate the tree trunk, the degree of impact on the trajectory, and other factors were all different. The second shot was much better than the first shot.

This was the power of ‘penetration’!

In the following battle, the power he could produce with the sniper rifle was even greater.

Annie, who was standing at the side, saw that Brandon did not answer her for a long time and was already a little unhappy. However, she was a proud woman, so she did not bother to ask again. She just sulked by herself.

Brandon could see it.

He felt it was funny.

In the end, he explained, “It’s a support skill. Not bad. It’s one step closer to our victory.”

“Oh.”

Annie replied indifferently, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, not sure if it was because of the words ‘victory’ or ‘our’.

“Then, are we going to Grey Town now?” Annie asked Brandon.

She knew that the giant white ape only had one skill book.

Since they had already taken the loot, there was naturally no point in staying any longer.

Brandon was just about to nod when his expression suddenly became strange. He said, “Now…we might not be able to go.”

“Hmm, what’s wrong?”

Annie asked with a puzzled expression.

In Brandon’s field of vision, two red dots appeared. Then, they slowly approached and gradually revealed two human figures.

Someone was coming!

An entire team!

Brandon thought and quickly came up with an answer.

“They must be here because of my gunshot just now. After all, the ‘thermal vision’ only has a range of 50 yards, but the sound of the gunshot spread far beyond this distance.”

After clearing his thoughts, he replied, “Someone is coming. If nothing goes wrong…”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “They’re here to pick up loot!”

The moment he said that, Annie’s pretty face suddenly darkened.

Picking up loot was a good thing for them to do on their own. However, if others wanted to pick up loot from them, that spelled trouble.

Immediately, she asked Brandon, “Then what should we do?”

She did not know since when, but she had gotten used to asking for Brandon’s opinion before taking action.

Neither Brandon nor Annie had noticed this.

Brandon narrowed his eyes and said, “He has to pay a price for picking up loot. Today, we’ll teach him a lesson!”

He was initially concerned there was no one to kill, but a pair had just delivered themselves to his door. Naturally, he would not let them go.

When Annie heard this, she was secretly elated.

Finally, she could pick up something!

She asked, “Then what should I do?”

Brandon did not answer. First, he took down the sniper rifle, but he did not return the sniper rifle to Annie as it would be more convenient for him to pick it up later.

After picking up the rocket launcher, Brandon lifted it up and aimed at the approaching figures. The corners of his mouth curled up.

“Want to take our loot? Face our rocket launcher first!”
