Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Qin Wu found it hard to resist such a gaze. Seeing that she was indeed full of confidence, he figured she must have undergone special training. So he nodded and handed her three ordinary bullets.

"Thanks."

She took the bullets, skillfully inspected the weapon, and after confirming that everything was in order, began loading them with exceptionally practiced movements.

Then, she turned to the side, half-squatted on the ground, and aimed the gun at several dummies in the center of the training field, her posture quite standard.

"Huh? What's this...?"

Qin Wu stood beside Jiang Mian, initially worried that she would be blown away by the recoil of this 'cannon'.

But just as Jiang Mian crouched down, it seemed as if an invisible cushioning layer appeared where her shoulder was touching the gun butt.

At the same time, the airflow around the muzzle was also disturbed, emitting a low whistling sound.

"boom!"

As Jiang Mian pulled the trigger, the "cannon" in her hand emitted an extremely powerful roar.

The gun barrel suddenly rose upwards, but was then steadily suppressed by the wind field around her, and most of the recoil was dissipated.

The bullet, upon leaving the barrel, began to spin rapidly, emitting a piercing whistling sound, and hurtled towards the training dummy.

"Bang!"

The compressed air field carried by the bullet rapidly spreads the moment it pierces the dummy's shell.

The specially made dummy, which was capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a second-tier awakened being, didn't even last a second after being hit. It instantly expanded from the inside and turned into countless metal fragments.

The other two dummies next to them were not spared either, being frantically cut apart by the wind force mixed with metal fragments.

When the wind subsided, only two nearly destroyed and broken mannequins and a pile of metal fragments remained.

"Hiss~ This attack power..."

It took Gu An a while to come to his senses. This Tuoma was only level one?

As expected of a high-level sequence...

Even the usually composed Li Huan's expression changed when he looked at the sniper rifle in Jiang Mian's hand.

Ordinary second-tier beings, whether human or calamity, would likely be either killed or severely injured if they were to take this hit head-on, to the point of being unable to even crawl.

Ordinary cannons don't have this kind of power...

"Compress the wind field, and then release it instantly after launch?"

As the only third-tier awakened one on the field, Qin Wu remained much calmer.

He had witnessed Jiang Mian's entire series of actions and activated his ability to compress the bullet before Jiang Mian even loaded it.

Therefore, she can achieve results comparable to, or even exceeding, those of specially made ammunition using ordinary ammunition.

No wonder Jiang Mian is so confident. Has her control over her abilities reached such a level?

Qin Wu had also seen many wind-type awakeners from other [elemental] paths.

They typically rely on their high mobility, using light weapons or throwing weapons to flexibly maneuver their opponents.

When it came to Jiang Mian, he completely abandoned mobility and switched to powerful weapons like cannons, which was quite an unusual approach.

However, this also requires a lot of talent and skill.

Most wind-element awakeners are already doing their best just to guide airflow to accelerate weapons or form wind blades.

If forced compression is attempted, the result will only be that the force becomes uncontrollable within the barrel, leading to a barrel explosion.

Jiang Mian, however, relied on the unique talent and subtle operation of the advanced sequence to easily overcome this insurmountable barrier.

"team leader?"

Seeing that Qin Wu remained silent for a long time, Jiang Mian waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"oh."

Qin Wu snapped out of his daze and quickly said:

"Xiao Jiang, this 'cannon' is yours. What kind of special ammunition do you want? I'll apply for it for you."

A barely perceptible hint of joy flashed in Jiang Mian's eyes, clearly showing his fondness for this "cannon".

She used to like this kind of thing, but she could only play it in games. She never expected that she could use it in this world, and even in this plus version.

It felt incredibly satisfying to fire it down like that.

Jiang Mian suppressed her excitement and said softly:

"Regular bullets will do; my abilities are sufficient. However... if possible, could you prepare some special ammunition?"

"Okay, go ahead."

Qin Wu nodded, signaling her to continue.

"Armor-piercing shells, and... incendiary shells."

She held up two fingers without explaining their purpose, but Qin Wu already knew what she meant.

One is used to fight defensively specialized Calamities, and the other is used in conjunction with wind fields to clear out groups of Calamities or those with regenerative abilities. The strategy is quite clear.

He nodded to Jiang Mian, his opinion of her rising even higher.

Although this girl is incredibly talented, her temperament is just like her appearance—quiet and gentle, making her easy to get along with, unlike some newcomers who are utterly incompetent yet incredibly arrogant.

"no problem!"

Qin Wu agreed very readily, a smile of appreciation on his face.

"Thank you, Captain Qin."

Jiang Mian actually had other ideas about incendiary bombs.

She hadn't forgotten her second purpose for coming here, besides making money: to come into contact with calamity.

At the first level, Jiang Mian could silently hide the fire seed inside the calamity's remains and then quietly make a fortune.

Now, it's even easier for me.

Strictly speaking, these special munitions also contained a small amount of calamity-related components, which was just right for her to bury the seeds of fire.

If ignited during battle, those calamities could become her "firewood."

On the surface, it seems that the incendiary bombs are simply too powerful after being enhanced by the "eye of the storm".

"Hey, don't be shy. You can call me Uncle Qin if you like."

Qin Wu laughed heartily, then remembered another important matter.

"By the way, you just arrived, so you haven't been assigned a dorm yet, right? There happens to be a spare bed in your sister Su's dorm. How about I save it for you?"

Jiang Mian pondered for a moment. She had just taken her medicine a few days ago, so there shouldn't be any problems. In any case, she only used the dormitory as a temporary place to stay and wouldn't stay there often.

"Hmm...that's fine."

"That's good. Come with me, let's get the bullets first, then Wan Ning will take you to the dormitory and pick up a set of daily necessities."

After returning to the lounge, Qin Wu gave them some instructions, and then Su Wanning led Jiang Mian through the corridors until they arrived at the logistics department.

Upon arriving at the logistics department, Jiang Mian received two boxes of special ammunition, totaling sixty rounds, several ordinary bullets, and a complete set of daily necessities, which were thoughtfully packed into a small cart for her.

"Come with me, the dormitory area is over here."

Su Wanning smiled and gestured in the right direction, then offered to help Jiang Mian push the cart.

Jiang Mian thanked her and followed behind her, while also memorizing the route.

Strangely, she could remember the gist at first, but later... she became a little dizzy.

"Oh no, am I terrible with directions?"

Jiang Mian considered her memory to be pretty good, and she had no problem delivering food before... but here, it felt like it didn't matter which way she went.

She felt dizzy and disoriented. If she were to try to get back to the lounge by herself now, it would probably be quite a hassle.

"What's wrong?"

Su Wanning sensed that the person behind her had slowed down, so she turned around and said gently.

"Ah, no, it's nothing."
