With the low success rate mounting up his debts, Mark decided to switch to secondary weapons.
But, he doesn't know which one to use. So, he decided to compare the two of them before deciding on which to stock up in the storage chamber and later, bombard his enemies with the ammo.
He first clicked on the image of Grenade. The details appeared.
40mm Grenade
Grade: N/A
Price: 5 gold coins
"Only 5 gold coins?" A frown appeared on Mark's face. He didn't expect that cost of a 40mm grenade is far lower than 120 mm.
Like the 9mm bullet, as there was no description, Mark speculated that a Grenade's strength might be entire realm lower than the former. And if that were the case, will the machine gun's power is much lower?
Mark closed it and then, clicked on 12.7 mm this time.
C 16
Grade: N/A
Price: 1 gold coin.
"Oh, boy, this one's far lower than the Grenade. Well, it was a piece of good news but I can't help but feel low. This one is definitely useless against 5-circle realm and above stage warriors." Letting out a sigh, Mark decided to choose Grenade.
But, before that, he also wanted to check the success rate of each of the ammunition to form a plan.
Mark first checked the 12.7 mm ammo's by clicking on create. A familiar notification arrived.
*Ding! 12.7mm ammunition has only an 80 percent success rate of creation. Do you want to proceed?
"80%, huh!" Mark fell into thoughts. He was satisfied that it was far better than the 120 mm ones but at the same time, he also knew that their power would be far weaker. So, he wasn't that dependent on this, right now.
Mark clicked on No and then, went to 40mm ammo.
*Ding! 40mm ammunition has only a 60 percent success rate of creation. Do you want to proceed?
"And this one's sixty…" Mark fell into a dilemma for a while. At first, he was already decided on Grenade but the success rates throw off his mind for a moment.
Now, he has but three options. First is the Cannon, low success rate but high power. Second is the machine gun, high success rate but low power. And third is the Grenade launcher, medium success rate but medium power.
*Bam*
It was at that moment Mark felt another tremor as the Tank was hit by a powerful skill attack from the side. It was so powerful that a 68-ton tank was moved a few inches by force. A tiny dent was visible.
*Ding! Battle Tank-V durability is reduced by 0.5%.
"This f****r has been irritating me…" Mark got angered and no longer thought straight. "Why should I form a careful strategy? Let's just create every type and go on berserk."
Bodyguard Ren Huang would have never thought of how his actions brought a disaster upon himself and his employer.
Mark clicked on Grenade.
*Ding! You failed to create a 40mm Grenade. The success rate increases by 6%. 5 gold coins have been added to the debt.
"And what was I expecting." Mark felt like another headache is going on come on his way because of his low amount of luck points.
Taking a deep breath, Mark attempted for the second time. Thankfully, he got a piece of good news and brought a little bit of peace to his mind.
*Ding! You successfully created a 40mm Grenade. 5 gold coins have been added to the debt. Please check your inventory.
*Ding! You failed to create a 40mm Grenade.
*Ding!
*Ding! You successfully created a 40mm Grenade.
*Ding! You successfully created a 40mm Grenade.
*Ding!
*Ding!
Little more than fifteen minutes had gone by and Mark was occupied in creating Grenades one after the other while the Battle Tank was being bombarded by attacks one after the other.
Song Yun was getting impatient because of the lack of a result. While none of the onlookers intervened in the situation, the matter was already reached to the Palace and a team of Elite soldiers was deployed to take care of the situation.
However, because of his pride, Song Yun didn't allow anyone to step into the compound.
In the meantime, the Steward of the mansion, another five circle realm warrior joined Ren Huang. When both of them weren't able to do anything against the defenses of the Battle Tank, Inspector himself came down and issued a warning to surrender.
But, Mark was busy with creating the Grenades. He turned deaf ear to the warning. As there was no reply, the Inspector felt embarrassed and decided to join the both of them to take it down while one of the prefects left the Mansion to bring back more force.
The three five-circle realm experts are attacking the sturdy battle tank left and right with all of their strength. By now, many people speculated that this might be a new type of puppet controlled by someone.
Because of the protection by the system, no one was able to sense the presence of Allen and Mark either. So, Ren Huang also stopped targeting the sturdy entrance doors located on top of the tank.
Meanwhile, inside the tank, Mark was feeling tremors continuously but he was too much focused on creation. He wasn't caring how much the debt is piling up or how much the durability of the tank is being reduced.
Ding! You successfully created a 40mm Grenade. 5 gold coins have been added to the debt. Please check your inventory.
"Okay, fifty have been created. Now, let's stock up the other ammunition. But, first, let's load them."
He opened the inventory and saw the ammunition was stacked together. He clicked on it.
*Ding! You summoned Battle Tank-V. Please choose one of the options.
1) Summon in hand
2) Transfer into the storage chamber
"Transfer"
*Ding! 40mm Grenade has been transferred to the storage chamber.
*Ding! The grenade Launcher is empty. Autoload feature is activated. One 40 mm Grenade has been loaded automatically.
After transferring all the Grenades into the storage chamber, Mark now set his eyes on the other ammo.
"Open, Creation Gallery"
This time, instead of failure or success, a surprising notification appeared on the screen as soon as he created the ammunition.
*Ding! You selected 12.7mm. Choose an option.
1) Single
2) Bulk (comes with belt)
"Second one seemed risky… But, it is 80%. So, I can take a risk for saving a large amount of time and work…" Mark inquired with the system regarding the bulk option.
*Ding! The bulk option will let the host create a maximum of 108 ammunitions at the same time. However, they will be joined together by the belt and can only be loaded or sold together.
"What about the failure option?" Mark asked further.
*Ding! Either all will be successful or all will be failed. The bonus percentage from failures is not applicable for this option.
"As I thought, it is risky but I don't have time to waste…"
*Ding! You selected Bulk. Please wait for a moment.
Ten seconds later;
*Ding! You failed to create C16 (Bulk). 108 gold coins have been added to the debt.
"Dammit… It's an 80% success rate… And yet…" Mark's anger reached the maximum. His eyes turned red while his veins are almost popping out as he tightly grabbed the steering controls.
"Create" "Bulk"
*Ding! You selected Bulk. Please wait for a moment.
*Ding! You successfully created C16 (Bulk). Please check out the inventory.
*Ding! You successfully created C16 (Bulk).
Five minutes later;
Steward Bai Chen was standing on top of the tank while relentlessly attacking with the sword even though the others gave up. Feels gazes at him, Song Yun came downstairs and watched it from the entrance door.
Swallowing a pill and temporarily boosting his attack power by one-fold, the steward unleashed his ultimate skill.
A giant flame sword was forming in the sky with his blade pointing towards the tank just like how he gripped the sword.
"What is that?" The inspector who was taking a break saw one of the guns suddenly turned its direction, aiming at the back of the enemy.
"Uncle Bai, behind you…" Ren Huang warned him with a shout.
*boom*
