The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 179 Obsidian Light
Obsidian Martial Arts School, Elite Disciples' Rest Room.

After Yi Ye Fuyun hung up the communication, Lin Qi didn't bother with the prepared novice combat puppet anymore and went to Yi Ye Fuyun's rest room almost immediately.

As Lin Qi entered the room, he saw that the entire lounge was filled with smoke and debris, but Yi Ye Fu Yun and Jiu Zhuan Zi Long beside him were in high spirits.

"Master, do you think this weapon is up to standard?"

As Yi Ye Fu Yun watched Lin Qi enter the room, he also held a Desert Eagle that was entirely golden in color and displayed it directly in front of Lin Qi.

The Golden Desert Eagle is not much different from the Desert Eagles made before, except that the caliber is larger and there is an energy crystal fragment on the gun groove, which looks like an inlaid gemstone. It is indescribably gorgeous and is the type that the rich would like.

Lin Qi couldn't understand this electromagnetic gun at all, and wondered what the big difference was between it and the A6-level Desert Eagle he had made before.

Lin Qi looked at it but still couldn't understand, so he simply asked, "How durable is this gun? And what are these attributes you mentioned?"

As an NPC, it's normal for him not to know what the players are creating; conversely, it's abnormal for him to know everything, since he's just the owner of a martial arts school.

"This weapon, crafted from a gold-grade treasure chest, should be more than ten times more durable than B2-grade alloy. Even if you, Master, shoot continuously for a whole day, this gun won't have any problems," One Leaf Floating Cloud excitedly explained. "Furthermore, as per your request, we added energy crystal fragments to the gun body, which greatly speeds up the condensation of lightning energy, reduces energy consumption by 40%, and reduces the control requirements for energy by 50%."

"Even a beginner with only 15% of the Stellar Explosion Visualization Technique can fire a single shot with the power of Mach 4, a range of 100 meters, and can fire twice in succession. If one is a quasi-martial artist, one can fire three or four times in a row."

"As I requested?" Lin Qi stared at Yi Ye Fuyun in astonishment. He couldn't recall ever saying that making a gun required energy crystal fragments, let alone that it needed to have attributes.

However, Lin Qi did not correct it, since the result was good.

"Can even a novice shoot twice in a row?"

Looking at the golden desert eagle in his hand, Lin Qi was also amazed by Yi Ye Fuyun's achievement. He hadn't expected that Yi Ye Fuyun would actually create a weapon with attributes.

With a 40% reduction in energy consumption and a 50% reduction in energy control requirements, it's practically a divine weapon that allows you to fight against opponents of higher levels.

Previously, even novice apprentices who could use the A6-level Desert Eagle couldn't even fire continuously, let alone at one-second intervals. This was no different from using the martial art Thunder Palm; a novice apprentice's blood and body simply couldn't support doing so.

However, now that the consumption of energy and the control have been reduced, novice apprentices who take up this weapon already possess some of the abilities of martial artists, namely the continuous use of martial arts techniques.

Even at a distance of more than fifty meters, it can still threaten a true martial artist. If the first shot misses, a second shot can be fired immediately to correct the miss, and this second shot is much harder to dodge.

"However, this gun also has a drawback, which is that it consumes a lot of energy from the energy crystal fragments." Yi Ye Fuyun said regretfully, "After firing at most twenty shots, the energy in the energy crystal fragments will be completely consumed. If you don't replace the energy crystal fragments, it's just a very sturdy electromagnetic gun. I've also tried it with energy ore, but the energy purity is not up to standard. At least ten kilograms of energy ore are needed to meet the requirements."

A ten-kilogram energy ore is bigger than two fists, so it's obviously unsuitable for a pistol, or even for a larger sniper rifle.

Unless it's made into a rocket launcher, but that clearly doesn't meet Lin Qi's requirements, he'll at most make one privately and sell it to rich newbies. After all, who can resist the allure of an RPG?

"Will it consume energy crystal fragments?" Lin Qi frowned slightly, not expecting that using this Golden Desert Eagle would be so expensive.

A single energy crystal can only yield a few pieces from a miniature energy mine. Based on the size of the embedded energy crystal fragments, this energy crystal can be divided into about twenty pieces.

One piece is equivalent to twenty rounds of ammunition, and a whole energy crystal is equivalent to four hundred rounds of ammunition.

However, considering that four hundred rounds of ammunition could pose a threat to even a novice apprentice, it wasn't so expensive after all. "How many energy crystal fragments do you have on hand right now?" Lin Qi asked, looking at Yi Ye Fuyun.

"There are a total of 180 energy crystal fragments embedded in the three gold-grade treasure chests. Two were used up in the underground experiment, so there are 178 left," said Yi Ye Fuyun truthfully.

"178 pieces?" Lin Qi nodded, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the Martial Arts Association to have so many energy crystal fragments embedded in the Rem Titanium Storage Box to ensure energy concentration. "How many of these Golden Desert Eagles can you make from those three Golden Treasure Chests? If you use other metals instead without affecting performance, how many can you make?"

After thinking for a moment, Yi Ye Fuyun said, "If all of them were made from gold treasure chests like this Desert Eagle, we could probably make eighteen. But if we add some B2 grade alloy without affecting the performance, we could make more than a hundred."

Meanwhile, the Nine-Turn Purple Dragon looked at Lin Qi and really wanted to say that if the strength of the gun itself was not taken into account, it could actually be made entirely of B2 grade alloy. The power would not change at all, at most the durability would be lower.

"Over a hundred guns? Great, then let's use B2 grade alloy to make them." Lin Qi was delighted to hear this. "How long will it take you to make all these guns? How many can you make by tomorrow morning at most?"

With over a hundred such high-level artifacts, the patrol teams will be armed in the future, and the Iron Heart Gang will no longer have to worry about their territory. They can confidently recruit thousands of people without worrying about them having nowhere to live.

In major cities, many well-off vagrants and some well-off registered residents join suburban gangs largely because they want to live in the suburbs. After all, the suburbs are much safer than abandoned areas and the wilderness, and renting a house in the suburbs is too expensive for ordinary people.

Take Luo Qi, for example. She is a mechanic, but the house she rents in the suburbs is only six or seven square meters in size, and costs 1,600 bits a month. For Luo Qi, who used to earn 3,000 bits a month, that was a huge expense.

But it's different if you join a suburban gang. The gang will provide its members with a 10-square-meter house, and you only need to pay 500 bits per month.

The 500 bits weren't actually what the gangs wanted to collect; it was all rent paid by the gangs to the city. Otherwise, all the major gangs would have allowed their members to live there for free.

“There’s only one machine tool right now. Grade B metal is quite difficult to shape, so we can only make a maximum of sixty a day. If we make it early tomorrow morning, I can probably make about twenty,” said Yi Ye Fuyun.

“Very good. Give me twenty first thing tomorrow morning.” Lin Qi nodded. Twenty Golden Desert Eagles might not be enough to arm the entire patrol team, but they would be sufficient to deal with some of the harassment from the four major forces.

The City of Light, the Avenue of Stargazing.

As the former commercial street for humans managed by the Ironheart Gang, although the Ironheart Gang is no longer around, there are still many human shops on the street, and pedestrians come and go constantly.

One restaurant on the street, called Baizhenguan, had a long queue of people waiting to dine outside.

"Boss, the food at Baizhen Pavilion is so delicious! It's even better than what you'd find in a five-star hotel in real life!" A senior apprentice exclaimed while eating wild beast meat. "And the price is really cheap too. This meal only costs five hundred bits. I'll definitely come here to eat every day from now on."

"The food here is really good. I'll pack up a portion of everything and take it back for the vice president and the others to try." The jungler hero, who was already a quasi-martial artist, was quite satisfied with the table full of food in front of him. He didn't expect the food made by this high-level martial arts NPC to be so delicious. Compared to the roast meat rice made in the guild restaurant, it was on a completely different level.

Just as the jungler was about to order a table full of food to go, a commotion broke out at the restaurant's entrance.

A lizardman wearing B2-level armor was seen leading more than ten lizardmen wearing A6-level armor, arguing with the restaurant's female owner about something.

"Sir, our shop has been operating here for many years. We finally managed to buy this shop, and we still have a lot of loans to pay off. We really can't move." The female shop owner, who was just a junior apprentice, looked nervously at the lizardman leader wearing B2-level armor.

"We don't care about that. All you need to know is that your shop can only stay open if you move to Nanxing Street," the lizardman leader sneered. "If you don't move, then your shop's business will be over."
