Chapter 478: Chapter 183 Change_2
After breakfast, Ren Zhong leaned back against the sofa and opened a video he had watched in the early morning once more.
Since becoming a citizen, the quality of videos pushed to him by big data had suddenly soared. They were no longer the deceptive free tutorials of the past but rather premium content on par with or even surpassing the level of "Sid Meier’s Armored Insights."
For example, yesterday he had first browsed a video for free and later paid 50 points for the Five Senses Enhancement Value-Added Service to experience the combat footage again.
This was a video recording of a higher-level kill.
The opponents were a young Fourth-Level Mechanical Warrior with high-citizen status and a middle-aged Fifth-Level Mechanical Warrior from the wilderness.
The battle took place in the Tenth Duel Arena on the Source Star.
The wilderness warrior was equipped with stable and reliable standardized equipment, and as an experienced Fifth-Level warrior, he had perfectly mastered the Sixth Sense and was extremely proficient in using amplifiers.
Moreover, the wilderness warrior’s equipment had been lifted of restrictions against citizens.
His equipment could support his motivation to kill citizens.
Before the battle began, the wilderness warrior even received a public promise.
If he could kill his opponent, not only would he be able to leave the arena and regain his freedom, but he could even become a First Level Citizen.
This meant that this was a cross-level life-and-death battle between high-level citizens and wilderness duel death soldiers, and the spectacle was hyped from the start.
The battle process was extremely intense.
Because of the power and Sixth Sense gap, the wilderness warrior fought desperately, performing extremely steadily with almost no mistakes throughout.
The Fourth-Level warrior was suppressed throughout, but laughed to the end, accomplishing a higher-level kill comparable to Sid Meier’s feats.
The footage went viral across the internet in the past two days, and just the value-added service sold over a million copies, netting the young citizen who uploaded it tens of millions.
In the foreseeable future, he stands to earn even more.
Ren Zhong also contributed 50 points to the sales.
The internet was abuzz with discussions on why the young citizen managed to win.
Critics and warriors all expressed their opinions, arguing heatedly.
Of course, those truly knowledgeable mostly either digest their insights themselves or exchange ideas within small circles.
As a Fourth-Level warrior with a perfect Sixth Sense and another seasoned player who treated cross-level combat like eating and drinking, Ren Zhong had unique perspectives.
After experiencing the value-added service’s first-person perspective once again, Ren Zhong discovered that although the citizen did not have the Sixth Sense, his equipment response speed was extremely fast, completely achieving thought following instinct.
The armor’s transmission system reacted so quickly that it seemed to foresee his intentions and could mobilize energy in advance.
Additionally, sometimes the young citizen’s armor would suffer heavy blows, but the damage caused would quickly self-repair over time.
His armor had wartime self-repair capabilities!
Finally, before the battle began, to enhance the tension, the citizen warrior disclosed the energy storage parameters of his armor’s reactor battery.
Based on estimates, his battery should not have lasted more than ten minutes.
But the result was that the battery not only withstood a full fifteen minutes of combat but also had 15% remaining power.
There was only one explanation: his armor’s energy efficiency ratio was extremely high.
Ren Zhong recalled the famous quote from the notorious swindler and older-generation cross-level king Sid Meier, priced at a staggering 6888 points.
"Material determines everything."
Back then, Ren Zhong had fabricated a bunch of supplementary explanations to console Ma Xiaoling, the victim of a massive fraud case.
But in truth, even he found those words lacking in persuasive power; only a peculiar person like Ma Xiaoling could truly be comforted.
Yet, upon reflection, Ren Zhong suddenly had an epiphany.
That seemingly simple sentence reopened a new door for him.
The young citizen won by relying on the sharpness of his equipment!
The young citizen’s equipment had nothing particularly extraordinary in function. It had no over-the-top attachments, winning through weaker forces due to comprehensive material improvements that forcibly enhanced overall performance.
My equipment just lasts longer than yours, it can self-repair, its buffering capability is better, its energy loss rate is lower, its mechanical component response is faster than yours...
The youth took the power of spending money to the extreme in every detail, so while the scene appeared perilous, it was all firmly under his control.
All the dangers were merely effects he deliberately created to boost the click rate.
Ren Zhong suddenly realized this was a path he could also take!
He deeply understood that after taking the Star Origin Injection Liquid, the speed at which he could enhance his basic parameters had already reached its peak.
