In order to leave the Black Sea safely, Shen Jue planned to open all the boxes she had stockpiled.

Strangely enough, even in the Black Sea, these wooden crates of supplies were delivered every day without fail, never interrupted.

More importantly, the Black Sea drifting crate contained more supplies than the one in the open sea, and all the materials she was missing were replenished.

The crafting area has been upgraded to level 5, and it's now capable of crafting firearms and ammunition.

Fortunately, Shen Jue also obtained the gun blueprints.

She crafted four AKs and several self-firing cannons; everything was ready.

After Shen Jue distributed the guns and ammunition to the three men, she found that they didn't know how to use them. Fortunately, she had spent a few months at a shooting club before, so she could still teach them shooting skills.

After Shen Jue personally demonstrated the power of the firearm, the three of them were very happy, especially Yang, who was as happy as a child, touching his newly acquired weapon with great affection.

This thing is really powerful. Apart from being a bit mentally taxing, it has virtually no weaknesses. It's practically a divine artifact.

The guns and ammunition produced in the game are naturally different from those in the real world.

While forging guns, Shen Jue discovered the wonderful uses of amethyst.

She only got a few of these at the beginning, and never saw them again after that.

At the time, I didn't know what it was for, so I just tossed it into a corner of my backpack and left it to gather dust.

When crafting the weapon, I discovered that the attribute field could be filled with ores. Upon opening the interface, I found amethyst. Amethyst is just the lowest type of energy. The energy contained within can be converted into ammunition. As long as my mental energy continues, this weapon can be used until the amethyst energy is exhausted.

In a sense, it's equivalent to having unlimited bullets.

There were only eight amethyst stones in total, and she made four guns. She kept four amethyst stones as backup power.

When the gun runs out of energy, it will automatically display a low energy indicator. At that time, you can remove the amethyst from the gun and install a spare amethyst.

After Shen Jue explained the method of disassembling and installing the amethyst stone to Mu Xingran and the other two.

The three of them studied very diligently, as this was crucial for their upcoming battle and they couldn't afford to be careless.

They are all masters in their respective fields, and they can grasp the ability to manipulate mental energy with just a little explanation, so their learning progress is very fast.

With this equipment, their chances of crossing the Black Sea are much greater.

After all, all the fear stems from insufficient firepower.

After getting the weapons, she still needed to get some defensive equipment. She knew how to use the gold equipment she had obtained from the dungeons.

To craft a set of gold-tier equipment, five rare materials are required.

She has a total of 12 pieces, and can only make a maximum of two sets.

Shen Jue suddenly felt that she was very poor, unable to even afford a gold suit for five people.

After leaving the Black Sea, she will go to the Dream Forest again. This time, she wants to get more Battlefield Tokens to exchange for rare gold and green materials.

I looked at the description of the gold-plated defensive equipment.

[Spirit Robe: Gold-tier equipment, obtained from the Dream Forest dungeon. Its function is to resist attacks from small firearms. It also grants immunity to mental attacks and provides the wearer with a 10-point mental bonus.]

Shen Jue made two sets of gold-level defensive equipment without hesitation.

This equipment is a godsend, perfectly suited to their current situation.

In addition to the gold equipment, Shen Jue also crafted three sets of purple equipment. Their attributes were all decent; while they didn't grant immunity to mental attacks, they could withstand attacks from S-rank creatures.

Shen Jue put on a piece of gold equipment and took out both the gold and purple equipment, briefly explaining the different functions of the two sets of equipment, and letting Mu Xingran and the others choose for themselves.

They hadn't expected Shen Jue to be able to create defensive equipment. But upon closer reflection, players, those connected to the game system, couldn't be simple people.

The younger sister gave them the equipment because she trusted them, and they didn't ask many questions. Working together to get out of there was the right thing to do.

Without hesitation, the three chose purple equipment based on their respective strengths. Mu Xingran, Balsa, and Yang all chose purple equipment, leaving one piece of gold equipment unselected. In their words, since they were stronger than Kleedo, they decided to leave the gold equipment for Kleedo's self-defense.

He also made great contributions in the expedition out of the Black Sea, and this golden equipment is well-deserved.

Once the equipment is fully donned, this is what it truly means to be fully armed.

Meanwhile, Clicquot sent them a call.

"A deep-sea vortex has formed, the rotating sea column has disappeared, you can come over now."

"Okay, we're coming right now. Be careful."

Yang steered the raft toward the location of Kleedo.

Before long, they saw Crito floating in the sky.

Balsa connected with Clichy and told him to come down quickly.

Give him something good.

With gold coins under his feet, Klee quickly arrived at Shen Jue's raft.

"Here you go, along with this gun. Put it on quickly. We might be in for a big battle soon."

Kleedo took the equipment and gun, gave a brief thank you, and immediately put them on.

Kleedo's gun wasn't equipped with amethyst; it was just an ordinary gun. In a real fight, this gun could only be used for self-defense.

However, they wouldn't let Clichy lead the charge.

"Brother Ke, if anything unusual happens later, you stay here and can start this automatic cannon at any time. Just focus on aiming and tracking; leave the rest to us."

The raft continued moving forward quickly, and the sea had returned to calm, with nothing unusual in sight.

They drove smoothly all the way to the edge of the blue sea.

Just as their raft was about to cross the boundary, an invisible barrier suddenly blocked their path, bringing the raft to a complete stop.

Immediately afterwards, a gigantic monster burst out of the water behind them.

That was a big boss, a black-scaled merman, like a giant. The half of its body that was exposed was equivalent to half of Shen Jue's training ground.

"Set up your guns!"
