Although there were some restrictions, it was still quite impressive.
Within a 24-hour period, each team member could borrow the item once, meaning the nine members could use it a total of nine times.
Chen Jiang stared at the item, a fervent glint in his eyes. To be honest, he was deeply tempted.
But when he saw the third item, the fervor in his eyes intensified even further.
The third item was a bracelet.
"Space Bracelet."
An enhanced space bracelet with an astonishing storage capacity of 10x10x10 meters—a full 1,000 cubic meters!
A portable, freely accessible space with dimensions of ten meters in length, width, and height.
This space bracelet was like a cool breeze in the scorching sun, arriving at the perfect moment.
It meant he could upgrade his turret to an even larger caliber, with a longer barrel and greater range, all while remaining fully portable!
With a volume of 1,000 cubic meters, this item would serve him well for a long time.
And right now, it was precisely the item he needed most.
Without hesitation, Chen Jiang chose the three-star item: the space bracelet.
Its design differed slightly from previous versions.
The translucent, jade-white bracelet contained a viscous, black sand-like liquid that flowed within, with deep blue specks flickering faintly within the dark substance.
To be honest, it was a bit flashy.
But considering its utility, Chen Jiang wore it on his left wrist with a satisfied expression.
Next, Chen Jiang turned his attention to the rewards for achieving the third-tier "extreme massacre" achievement.
[Rankless fragment: Battle-ruined fragment (one).]
[Item Name: Battle-ruined Fragment]
[Item Tier: Rankless]
[Item Description: An extremely rare item, with only 36 fragments in existence. When all fragments are controlled by players, a massive event—the Gluttonous Feast—will be triggered, and benefits will be distributed based on the number of fragments each player holds.]
"The Gluttonous Feast?"
Chen Jiang frowned slightly. To be honest, he had high expectations for this battle-ruined fragment. After all, the second-tier reward was already a three-star item. Surely this third-tier reward couldn't be worse than that, right?
The description simply stated it was an extremely rare item, and then nothing more. It was completely unusable in its current state.
The item would only become useful once all 36 fragments were collected.
If each achievement only rewarded a battle-ruined fragment upon reaching the third tier, how long would it take to gather them all?
After all, the third tier of the "Single-Day Massacre" achievement required slaughtering ten million enemies in a single day.
Meeting the requirements for slaughtering ten million enemies in a single day was far too demanding.
However...
Chen Jiang suddenly narrowed his eyes in thought. Collecting all 36 battle-ruined fragments would trigger a major event called the "Gluttonous Feast," with rewards distributed based on the number of fragments each player possessed.
If he managed to acquire all 36 fragments, wouldn't the entire major event belong to him?
But...
Chen Jiang shook his head with a hint of regret. So far, all the achievements he had unlocked had triggered automatically.
If he knew the specific requirements for each achievement, he could systematically work towards completing them.
Otherwise, he would be left groping in the dark, trying things step by step.
Meanwhile, five kilometers away, the flames that had painted the horizon crimson showed no signs of diminishing.
Even from where they stood, the scent of roasting meat and charred flesh drifted on the night wind.
"Impressive," Scar Dog murmured, finally snapping out of his daze. His grin stretched from ear to ear as he turned to Brother Jiang. "We need more energy blocks, Brother Jiang!"
"With enough energy blocks," he continued, "we could achieve precision strikes at distances of ten kilometers or more!"
To be fair, Scar Dog's innate ability, energy drive, was originally quite ordinary. After all, using it required energy blocks from the mechanical race.
This meant that in the three months since they had arrived in this world, they had never had the opportunity or resources to use it.
But since linking his ability with Li Hao's, it had instantly transformed into a top-tier talent!
Such long-range precision strikes and mobility were invaluable assets in warfare.
However, there were drawbacks.
The two users had to be perfectly synchronized.
For instance, when he detonated the TNT in that massive truck, he had to retract his arm the instant the explosion occurred, while Scar Dog simultaneously dispelled the phantom gate.
If Scar Dog had dispelled the gate even a fraction of a second too soon, Chen Jiang's arm would have been severed cleanly at the phantom gate's edge, as if by a guillotine.
This was the power of the rules.
Conversely, if Scar Dog had been too slow, the explosive flames, shockwave, and steel fragments would have instantly traversed the nearly five-kilometer distance through the phantom gate, engulfing them as well.
In short, the phantom gate ability had both advantages and disadvantages.
But overall, the benefits outweighed the risks.
"Naturally," Chen Jiang replied with a smile. "Energy blocks themselves aren't particularly valuable; they're just difficult to obtain due to the mechanical race's strict control."
"We'll find a mechanical race city, enslave some workers, and have them produce one-star items and energy blocks for us day and night."
This was his next course of action.
To be honest, it would be a challenging endeavor.
Killing and capturing were two entirely different things.
But... as long as he succeeded, he would acquire a massive stockpile of one-star items to enhance his turret!
He could upgrade the turret's caliber, firing rate, and range to absurdly exaggerated levels!
Meanwhile, Scar Dog's teleportation gates could cover the planet's skies like stars, arranged in a regular pattern.
Combined, these two elements would create many utterly illogical yet devastatingly effective combat strategies!
At this moment, Chen Jiang and Scar Dog's innate abilities were finally being fully utilized.
With only half an hour remaining until the race kill rankings were finalized, players of all races on the planet eagerly awaited changes in Feng Jiutian's kill count, hoping to add more drama to the spectacle.
Unfortunately, more than ten minutes had passed since Chen Jiang's global speaker challenge, yet Feng Jiutian's kill count remained unchanged. He hadn't even responded to the global speaker.
His current silence stood in stark contrast to his earlier arrogance and extreme provocation.
The human players, now glued to the race kill rankings and Chen Jiang's relentless taunts flooding the chat, felt their daytime frustrations melt away. They rubbed their hands together, clenching their fists in excitement.
If only they had global speakers, they would have loved to mock Feng Jiutian and teach him a thing or two about the human race's unique spirit.
In a certain settlement, around a long table, an elderly man with a weary face sat at the head, staring in disbelief at Chen Jiang's terrifying kill count.
"What methods did Chen Jiang use to kill 270,000 alien races in a single minute?" he murmured, his voice tinged with awe.
"This has surpassed the realm of individual combat prowess."
"270,000 alien races in one minute?"
"What does 270,000 even mean? The permanent population of a small county town on Blue Star barely reaches that number!"
"How could such a staggering figure be wiped out by a single person in just one minute?"
