Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 469 The reason is simple: I am very strong.

The pistol was acquired.

This gave Fang Yi a warm feeling in return.

Under the reflection of the light.

The brand-new gun barrel had a faint, luminous appearance.

The beeping sound in my ear further indicated the changes to the pistol.

[Quality: [Tier 2 Excellent] -> [Tier 2 Rare]]

[Damage Power: [41~73] -> [59-93]]

[Durability: [513/650]->[800/800]. 】

The existing traits [Mind Manipulation] and [Heat Reduction] have been amplified.

[Gained a new trait: Armor-piercing rifling.]
-
Armor-piercing rifling

When the bullet is fired, the barrel absorbs magic from the air, giving the bullet an extra boost.

This allows the bullet to achieve a higher initial velocity and reduces the kinetic energy loss caused by the rifling.

It has some penetration capability against medium-strength armor.

When using bullets made of energy, an additional delayed damage calculation will occur after the bullet hits an enemy.
-
Obviously, this equipment would be useful in some games.

It's an armor-piercing piece designed to deal with meat shields.

Basically, you need to add an effect that makes the bullets ignore 15% or 90 points of the enemy's armor.

And then we saw the performance of Fangyi Mosuo pistol.

Lov, shirtless, washed his hands.

He picked up the bubbly draft beer next to him and took a sip.

Then he pointed to the armor on the side.

Fang Yi explained the meaning of "medium-strength armor" to him.

"Just like humans wear armor and hold up shields to protect themselves from harm."

"Such difficult monsters can appear even outside the dungeon and the town."

"The higher the difficulty of the dungeon, the more monsters there are, such as the Headless Pigman Knight and the Death Knight."

As he was speaking, Love let out a burp.

Fang Yi walked in and patted the man on the shoulder.

"If you cannot get past the opponent's 'armor' to cause damage, or if you have the means to control the opponent and dissolve their armor."

"Then you and your teammates will be like unarmed farmers encountering fully armed heavy cavalry."

Love stepped on the scrap material beneath his feet.

His expression instantly became very serious.

"They were mercilessly crushed by these monsters."

"Then, like those mercenaries who disappeared without a trace, they died in the dungeon or outside the town."

"Even someone like you, who returned from the first dungeon laden with loot, wouldn't be an exception."

He realized that the old man probably thought highly of him.

They feared that the great gains from the dungeon would make them complacent and cause them to underestimate its difficulty.

So they revealed this information out of goodwill.

Fang Yi simply released the safety on his pistol.

He took out an empty drum magazine and began loading it with [Exorcising Bullet Type I - Armor Piercing].

At the same time, the following response was given.

There are always exceptions.

Upon hearing these words, Lov put down his beer.

Sighed.

"Go to the back to test your gun; there are targets there that resemble monster armor!"
"Once you witness the effect of this bullet hitting the target, you'll know just how terrifying those monsters are."

It is clear that Fang Yi was categorized as a mercenary who "did not heed advice".

But Fang Yi did not take a step.

Instead, he raised Prometheus with his right hand and pointed it at his temple.

A smile appeared on Pilov's puzzled face.

The old man frowned slightly.

"Wait, you won't..."

His response was a thunderous roar that echoed throughout the work area!
"boom!"

With a smile on his face, Fang Yi pulled the trigger.

A bullet, blazing with fire, roared out from the muzzle.

It has a magical power that absorbs the smog in the air.

It shot towards the man's temple with unprecedented speed.

Upon hearing the gunshot, Love's eyes widened in horror.

Has he gone mad?!

He had already glimpsed the scene of the other person's head bursting open like a watermelon.

Those are the armor-piercing rifling he created!
It also comes with bullets that have an armor-piercing effect.

The old man instinctively yelled at the man next to him.

"Shout for a doctor! There's a madman here who shot himself!"

However, after being firmly held between the man's two fingers, it was even rotated for a while.

A bullet that made a burning sound in the air.

This left the rest of his sentence hanging in his throat.
-
Looking at the worn-out, immature skill of [Silk Binding].

The bullet broke through the [Warp Shield] attached to the body, dealing 1 point of damage to the user.

Fang Yi then revealed a satisfied smile.

"Indeed, it's quite good. The speed of this bullet has increased by at least 30% compared to the past, and the attached mental energy has also increased by 10%."

"Armor penetration has been improved by about 27 percent."

Love reached out a hand and touched his chin.

With a sudden burst of force.

Only then did he lift his chin, which had been plunging rapidly like an out-of-control elevator, in shock at the scene before him.

The old man first examined the bullet that was held between the man's fingers.

After confirming that the bullets were from his own inventory.

Only then did he look at Fang Yi with suspicion and uncertainty.

With a trembling voice, he asked the question that everyone present was very concerned about.

"You, what exactly are you?"

Fang Yi smiled slightly.

Fang Yi is a very strong person.

"A person who is not afraid to fight anyone!"

Release the two fingers.

He rolled the bullet he was holding into his palm and then handed it to the old man.

Fang Yi then calmly gave his reasons.

"Since it's a test of armor-piercing effectiveness..."

"Then we need to find a sufficiently strong 'monster' as a target."

Fang Yi's face revealed an unprecedented level of confidence.

"But there shouldn't be any monster stronger than me in this town."

"So, I had no choice but to shoot myself."

The only response to the man's words was a deathly silence.

Love fell silent.

The apprentices who were glancing at Fang Yi also fell silent.

Everyone in this space for a moment.

It was as if the mute button had been pressed, and it lost the ability to make a sound.

The only sound in the air was the faint crackling of the furnace fires burning steel.

And the previously barely audible breathing of everyone, now exceptionally clear.

Until Fang Yi took out the [Ghoul Claw].

And the [Heart of the Corpse] and the [Ring of Fortitude] went to Love.

After saying, "Would you like to talk to me about other business?"

Love regained the ability to speak, much like a robot with a language module installed.

He turned to the apprentice behind him.

"Rest! Everyone get out!"

The apprentices then regained their mobility and went outside.

Until the last apprentice closed the door.

After shutting out the murmurs outside the door—"Did you see that? He caught the bullet!" "Who is that man?"—they shut out the murmurs of the crowd.

Lov then calmed down.

He pointed to the [Ghoul Claw] and said.

"This claw is nice, but it doesn't match your knife."

"It's suitable to add a 'poisoning' effect to the daggers of those 'Plague Doctors' to make it easier to destroy tissue and inject venom."

"Or make a decent pair of transitional gauntlets for mercenaries who are good at fighting with their fists!"

Fang Yi smiled slightly.

"Two women with another claw will be coming here shortly."

"Please have Mr. Love modify their short swords and make their boxing gloves."

Fang Yi took out his money bag.

"price?"

Love waved his hand.

"Including the [Sword Holder Iron] quest, and the claws that come with it."

"Give me a symbolic 8000 [old gold coins]."

Your commission reward has changed; you have received 5000 points.

Looking at Fang Yi, who seemed somewhat hesitant as he examined the spoils.

Love added irritably.

"Don't think it's expensive, this is my purchase."

"We also need to produce other materials here!"

Fang Yi then pulled out another money pouch.

handed over.

"-8000" has been accepted.

My team's [Old Gold Coins] have plummeted from 25235 to 17235.

New equipment is the fastest way to improve combat power.

This is how you gain more [Training Points]. There are limits on the number of players allowed to enter the dungeon, unlike with complete strangers.

He still hoped to arm his two female swordsmen and make them his capable assistants as soon as possible.

As for the Imperial Arms [Thunder God's Wrath - Admiral], which has been gathering dust for a long time...

Fang Yi prepared to wait until he obtained better materials.

Accumulate more gold coins, then talk to the craftsman again.

He handed Love the Heart of the Corpse and the Ring of Fortitude.

Asked tentatively.

"Are there any plans or suggestions to combine these two things?"

The other party's skill in equipment forging is already superb, judging from the modification of [Prometheus].

Fang Yi was naturally willing to seek advice from the other party.

Lof picked up the jet-black gem from Fang Yi's hand.

"【Heart of a Corpse Demon】? That's a truly rare item!"

"The separation technique is also very skillful and ingenious, preserving the spirit of the materials."

The old man looked at Fang Yi, seemingly having gained a new understanding of him.

"You know alchemy, and your skill is quite impressive?"

Fang Yi smiled slightly.

"Understood."

Love laughed too.

"Your technique is more than just a little bit."

"Since you know alchemy, that makes things much easier."

"For things other than crafting, alchemy is still the most useful."

The old man turned around and dragged a piece of unburnt firewood from the fire.

I picked up the Ring of Fortitude and pondered for a few minutes.

Then he used firewood to demonstrate on it.

I added a few carbon marks.

"The best placement for the equipment without affecting its effectiveness is here."

Love seemed somewhat uneasy as he handed over the ring.

Therefore, he took another piece of sheet metal.

He concentrated intently on drawing on the tin sheet.

A few minutes later.

An exceptionally detailed three-view drawing of a ring, with its exact dimensions marked.

And how to set gemstones to maximize their effectiveness.

A flowchart that looks like a foolproof tutorial.

It then became apparent on this sheet of iron.

The space prompt sound also rang in Fang Yi's ears.

The character [Lov] has taught you the special skill [Gem Knowledge] related to [Master-level Equipment Forging].

[Due to the influence of [Extraordinary Gravity], you can purchase it for 4000 points.]
-
[Gemstone Knowledge]

Once mastered, one can gain some knowledge and understanding of the properties of some gemstones.

And know how to maximize the effect of gemstones in various situations.

And how to link gems with equipment.

prompt:

This is a special skill, and mastering it requires using gems to enhance your understanding.
-
[Master-level forging, just like that Woyin [Master-level Swordsmanship]?]

Fang Yi's heart sank.

This is analogous to the [Mastery of Swordsmanship] that is usually only obtainable at Rank 2.

[Master-level] skills can probably only be obtained at Tier 3!

With so much support and the addition of multiple modules.

Enemies that may appear during this mission.

The difficulty of obtaining the [Grand Prize].

Even unknown factors that led to the destruction of other towns.

That's probably not an easy task.

[That's interesting, so is it going to be more intense?]

Without a moment's hesitation, Fang Yi paid the 4000 points he had just received.

They acquired this skill, which can be combined with [Gem Magic] and [Alchemy].

Then they accepted the sheet of metal.

"remuneration?"

Lof glanced at Fang Yi.

"Just give 2000 [old gold coins] as a symbolic gesture."

"Before I go to the [Beast Cave] dungeon next time, I'll come back and get some more special [bandages] that can be used to obtain [sword rack iron].

Love raised his beer and downed it in one gulp.

He waved his hand, making a gesture to see the guest out.

"I'll buy back the materials you process at a price 20% higher."

Fang Yi pulled out the [California Kiyomitsu].

"this?"

Love increased the force of his wave.

"Since you are the strongest and have expertise in alchemy."

"Then this longsword will have to be made from the best materials that can only be obtained from [Champion-level] monsters."

"At the same time, let me spend some time thinking about the best solution."

A smile appeared on Lov's face.

"Right?"
"'Mr. Monster'?"

Fang Yi handed over a money bag and paid the design fee.

This caused the team's [Old Gold Coins] to drop back to 15235.

At the same time, the [Imperial Golden Cup] was taken out.

The last of the "King's Fine Wine" was poured into the old man's empty cup.

"I don't think you'll refuse the deposit."

Love sniffed the wine in his glass.

He smiled with satisfaction.

"Remember to bring more next time."

"From now on, all your services here will be at cost price."

Fang Yi put away the [strange item], nodded, and prepared to turn and leave.

But before the man touched the door.

As if remembering something, Love added another sentence.

"Remember to come find me before entering the [Elite Dungeon]."

"I can introduce you to some highly reputable mercenaries!"

Fang Yi waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

Watching Fang Yi leave.

Love shook his head.

"Although he calls himself a 'monster,' he is completely different from a 'monster' except for his strength."

"A remarkable young man has arrived in this small town."

Then, he added the second half of the sentence in his mind.

Perhaps he will be the key to the town's survival!

He stared at the fire in the stove for a long time, lost in thought.

Until the sound came from outside the door.

"Lord Love, two women carrying [Ghoul Claws] wish to see you?"

"I drove them away like I drove away those mercenaries?" came the next question.

Love finally came to his senses.

"Let the apprentices in, and let them in as well."

I savored the "King of Wines" in my glass.

A look of fascination flashed across the old man's face as he muttered to himself, realizing the value of this wine.

"For his sake, we'll take this equipment forging more seriously."

"Let's use a little more material and leave room for future enhancements."

A few minutes later, the two women left the blacksmith's shop.

Looking at the purple dagger at his waist, now drastically different and exuding an extraordinary aura.

Butterfly couldn't help but look at the person next to her wearing a [Tier 2 Excellent] quality item.

The [Rock Forged Double Sink] gauntlets have multiple effects.

Like the jewels of Kanroji Temple that refuse to be picked.

He stroked the short sword, which was of [Tier 2 Rare] quality and named [Butterfly Love Flower].

A sigh escaped his lips.

You've given me so much, both in terms of trust and help.

At the same time, she began to think about how to repay the man.

A moment later, she glanced at her friend who was grinning foolishly beside her.

He gritted his teeth.

It seems they've made some kind of unspeakable decision.

Kanroji Mitsuri smiled as she felt the slightly heavy gauntlets in her hands.

He glanced at his friend without making a sound.

We need to give Fang Yi something in return.

[Shinobu probably won't refuse.]

It's quite obvious that Miss Kanroji is also preparing something.
-
A courtyard.

After resting for a while, he took out the gemstone and the ring.

The man who was about to begin setting the gemstones had not yet finished drawing the alchemical array.

Then I received this notification.

Your "Oddities" Sync Journal has been updated!

With a thought, Fang Yi saw new writing appear on the notebook that allowed him to communicate with Miss Gu Qi.

obviously.

Now is a good time to exchange information with Miss Gu Qi.
