Chapter 634 - 305 The Three Musketeers
Corpses in Corpse Looting are of different grades. The highest-grade corpses are those of players, where the system evaluates the value of the deceased player’s belongings and then arranges them in order of value. In theory, corpses refresh every minute, allowing players to loot corpses three times, but in practice, it’s impossible to achieve that. Without any skill enhancement, each looting takes 20 seconds.
The 20-second rule applies only to players, set specifically to protect the legacy of deceased players. When looting zombies and NPCs, what’s considered is overall attributes. Looting can take up to 20 seconds at most, but the higher your attributes, the quicker the looting. Intelligence has the greatest impact.
Lin Wu, a seasoned thief, was well versed in the art of Corpse Looting. Thus, before he killed his target, he had already placed one hand on Lin. The moment Lin died, Lin Wu instantly initiated Corpse Looting, determined to loot three times.
Lin Wu had expected to find night vision goggles or a weapon on the first try, but instead, he got a satellite phone and an earpiece. The satellite phone had contact numbers for 9 people, including Nightmare, Blood Meng, and other Nightmares alike.
On the second attempt, still no night vision goggles or weapons, he obtained a jeep card. The jeep card could summon an off-road jeep for six hours of use. While this would be a treasure for a special agent, it was trash for Lin Wu due to the restrictions imposed by Blood Mist and Darkness. The only option would be to drive near the train, using the light from the train for protection.
The third attempt still didn’t yield night vision goggles or weapons, but a plane ticket instead. The ticket allowed one to board a helicopter and travel to any location within a 500-kilometer radius near rails. Although more valuable than night vision goggles, it was still trash for Lin Wu.
Lin had his own skills, having reached the Orient Express tracks ahead of time, where he waited. Since the system prevented him from directly destroying the tracks, he spent over an hour painting over a 30-meter section of the tracks, effectively disguising them. Taking advantage of the tracks bending around the forest and the direct beam from the train’s headlight, he ensured that the night train couldn’t detect the tracks.
