Chapter 97 The Killing Star!
After obtaining the new entry, Yu Cang immediately took out a rare quality blank soul card and tried it out.
Implant: [Mechanical] + [Shooting] + [Hyperopia] + [Shoot]!
Although four entries were implanted at the same time, the success rate was as high as 94%, probably because the entries had a good direct compatibility, which is quite high.
Yu Cang tried to implant it, and without any accidents, there was a flash of light and it was successful.
A rare card appeared in Yu Cang's hand:
Soul Card Name: Killing Star
Category: Equipment Card
Quality: Rare
Attribute: Wind
ability:
[Weak Point Shooting]: When attacking a target, if there is a significant difference in hardness and density between the bullet landing point and the surrounding area, this area will be considered a weak point, and the direct damage caused by the Penetrating Star to the weak point will be doubled.
[Mechanical Structure]: When destroyed, it does not enter a death cooldown, but instead becomes broken into parts, which can be reassembled and rejoined. Summoning in this way does not consume soul energy.
[Wide Area Aiming]: The initial effective range of the Killing Star is 1800 meters. The user can increase the effective range and sight distance by increasing the soul energy consumption.
This ability seems quite practical.
Yu Cang groped his chin and implanted [Splicing] and [Assembly] into it. Sure enough, two corresponding abilities appeared on the panel of the Star of Death.
"Come on, let me try." Yu Cang licked his lips, put the sniper given by Guluo behind his back, and then launched the Star of Death.
Suddenly, phantoms of parts appeared in Yu Cang's hands, and as they solidified, they were assembled in his hands layer by layer, and finally formed a pitch-black sniper rifle!
"Skeleton Mechanical Dog, activate the [External Chimeric Component]!"
Click!
A mechanical dog rushed out from the side of the soul card shadow, changed its shape in mid-air, and combined with the star of death in Yu Cang's hand.
After the assembly was completed, the Star of Killing had an additional mechanical skeleton outer armor. Yu Cang placed the sniper rifle next to the tree trunk, and the skeleton outer armor immediately extended and deformed into a bracket that adapted to the terrain, firmly fixing the long barrel next to the tree trunk.
At the end, the skeleton dog's goggles were connected to the front of the sight, allowing Yu Cang to see through invisible units.
Of course, this ability is definitely useless in this hunting ground...but this set of equipment looks so cool!
I tried to pull the trigger, and sure enough, shooting with the Penetrating Star also required extra soul energy.
As expected, Yu Cang didn't rush. He found a blue sheep grazing in the scope. As the soul energy in the soul energy well increased, Yu Cang's mind became more and more focused...
Until the soul energy is fully restored——
Yu Cang pulled the trigger!
Click...
However, nothing happened.
"Uh..." Yu Cang scratched his head.
No way...
He is a fourth-level soul card master. When he used the Star of Killing at full soul energy, he couldn't even fire a single bullet?
This soul energy consumption is too outrageous!
This is just a rare soul card...
Moreover, the soul energy consumption of the Killing Star must be paid off at the moment the shot is fired, and cannot be accumulated by slowly injecting it. This directly cuts off Yu Cang's possibility of using it.
"As expected of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the energy consumption is outrageous..." Yu Cang sighed and began to look for a feasible solution in the vocabulary library.
Try implanting [Energy Storage].
After trying several times, Yu Cang successfully gave the sniper rifle another ability:
[Super Kill Energy]: When you successfully kill a target, absorb a certain amount of soul energy from it; if the kill is achieved through [Weak Point Shooting], double the soul energy will be restored.
The ability is good.
But... he can't even fire a single bullet now, so even with this ability he can't do anything.
"What should I do..."
After thinking for a moment, Yu Cang suddenly thought of something.
"Right, try this."
He immediately took out the retracted comet behind him, removed its magazine, and then started the entry extraction on the magazine alone.
Success!
After waiting quietly for ten minutes, a line of words appeared on the entry recorder:
The entry is extracted and the common entry is obtained: [Magazine]
Yu Cang then took out another blank Soul Card, and after trying for a moment, he used [Magazine] + [Machinery] + [Energy Storage] to create a new Soul Card:
Soul Card Name: Universal Firearms Magazine
Category: Equipment Card
Quality: Ordinary
Attributes: None
ability:
[Ammunition]: When not in the summoned state, the operator can slowly inject soul energy into it to generate ammunition. The ammunition can be used to supply any firearm. If it is in the summoned state, the operator must provide a full amount of soul energy at once to generate ammunition. Once generated, ammunition remains in the magazine until used.
[Mechanical Structure]: When destroyed, it does not enter a death cooldown, but instead becomes broken into parts, which can be reassembled and rejoined. Summoning in this way does not consume soul energy.
Yu Cang's eyes lit up.
really!
Holding the soul card in his hand, Yu Cang tried to inject soul energy into it. As a result, he found that he could generate one piece of ammunition by consuming one tube of soul energy!
This magazine has a capacity of seven bullets. After filling it up, Yu Cang immediately summoned the Star of Death and the universal firearms magazine, intending to give it a try.
However, a new problem arose. This magazine... could not be installed on the Killing Star.
First of all, their sizes don't match!
The Star of Death is a sniper rifle, and the universal firearms magazine looks more like a pistol magazine. Inserting it into it gives you the feeling of driving a truck.
What's more, the Star of Death is summoned by the Soul Card and is a whole. After its original magazine is removed, the entire gun is in a state of parts and cannot be used. It is impossible to replace the magazine.
Yu Cang thought for a moment and suddenly slapped his head.
Damn, I learned a little bit about firearms, but he really led me astray.
This is a soul card, and the combination between soul cards must of course be solved using the soul card’s own method!
Go to [splicing]!
He also added a [Plug-in Value-Added Protocol] to the magazine and started it immediately.
The place where the magazine of the Star of Death was originally located suddenly turned into a group of parts and gradually disappeared. A data interface was revealed from it. Yu Cang inserted the universal firearms magazine into it. Sure enough, it could be used now.
The Star of Death has the ammunition!
After resetting the sniper, Yu Cang looked for the target through the sniper scope.
"Uh...it seems that all the mountain goats within the normal shooting range have been driven away..." Yu Cang clicked his tongue.
Now, the distance between him and Qiu Ding has been pulled very far. Under the deliberate manipulation of those staff members in secret, most of these mountain goats are in positions where it is difficult for him to shoot them, but Qiu Ding can shoot them comfortably.
"Then... we can only find a target farther away." Yu Cang activated the [Wide Area Aiming], and the field of view in the sight was suddenly widened, and the target that was originally a little blurry became clear in an instant!
1900 meters, 2000 meters...2500 meters!
Feeling the consumption of soul energy, Yu Cang frowned.
The range increase for the first few hundred meters was fine, and the soul energy consumption was still within Cang's tolerance, but as he increased the range more and more, the soul energy consumption also increased at a rather exaggerated multiple.
"2500 meters is my limit... but it's enough."
Yu Cang locked onto a blue sheep that was silently grazing in front of a huge rock, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
…
The other side.
Qiu Ding was lying on a rock, locking onto a target in the distance through a scope.
He had never hunted with a sniper rifle before, and now he realized that it was completely different from what he had imagined.
There are too many restrictions when using a sniper in the mountains. The complex forest environment will cause great trouble to the sniper's vision. After setting up the gun, you often only see leaves in the mirror and cannot find any prey at all.
As expected, every profession has its own expertise, and when it comes to hunting, you still have to use a hunting rifle.
It took him a long time to find such a perfect position. There were two unobstructed open spaces in the mirror, allowing him to snipe without hindrance.
Fortunately, these ibex are not very smart.
Instead of leaving the nice woodland, they have to wander around in groups around the edge of the open space.
Qiu Ding looked at the ibex grazing quietly in the mirror, and a determined smile appeared on his face.
"The third one... is you."
Qiu Ding placed his finger on the trigger, about to pull the trigger—
Bang!
But the mountain goat in the sight exploded into a ball of blood mist without any warning!
"What?" Qiu Ding was stunned.
What is this thing? So powerful?
A sniper rifle is much more powerful than a regular hunting rifle. After hitting a mountain goat, it can leave a bloody hole, but even so, it can still leave the prey intact... Isn't it a bit too exaggerated to directly explode it into a bloody mist?!
However, this is not the end. As the body of the mountain goat exploded, the huge rock behind it also collapsed in an instant. Dense cracks instantly covered half of the stone surface, as if an unstoppable object had violently rushed into its interior, and some of the more fragile parts had collapsed and fallen off!
Boom!!
At this moment, a series of sonic booms came into Qiu Ding's ears from his side.
"Is that a gunshot?" Qiu Ding's eyes widened.
What kind of gun is this?
Wait, that direction...could it be Yu Cang again?
Qiu Ding stood there in a daze for a moment before he came to his senses and quickly retracted the comet.
It’s noon now… We’ve already caught two prey, so let’s stop here for now.
Hurry over and see what happened.
…
dark place
The staff stared at the display screen and fell silent.
After a while, the leader said doubtfully to one of the channels, "Guluo...what kind of gun did you give him? It's too different, isn't it?"
"Uh..." Guluo's voice was filled with hesitation. "It's the same gun... There's no way it could have this much power and range if it were retracted into the Comet. In fact, I've never seen a sniper with such exaggerated performance!"
"Haha." The leader sneered, "I don't care. This time the blame is yours. It has nothing to do with me."
Bad news: The plan failed again.
Good news: someone is sharing the blame.
…
On the tree.
Looking at the scene in the sight, Yu Cang was also shocked.
Such a big blue sheep, just... exploded?
This... is cruel, but it's really fun.
As a soul card master, he had fought with many wild beasts and seen a lot of blood. Such scenes no longer made him uncomfortable, so he just felt good.
Yu Cang checked the magazine and found that three bullets disappeared out of thin air with this shot!
"One bullet requires three tubes of my soul energy... Why don't you mechanical department members go and rob them!" Yu Cang was speechless.
At this time, a translucent ball of light flew from a distance and penetrated into the Killing Star.
This is exactly the soul energy returned by [Super Kill Energy].
Yu Cang carefully sensed it for a moment: "Not bad, quite a lot, a full barrel... But compared to the consumption of this gun, it's still too little. This shot should not have triggered [Weak Point Shoot Kill]. But even if it triggered perfectly, it would only be two barrels, not even a single shot."
There is an upper limit to the amount of soul energy that can be stored in the soul energy well, but fortunately, with a universal firearms magazine, Yu Cang now has a place to store the soul energy that exceeds the upper limit - it can all be stored in the magazine for later use.
However, after being stored in the magazine, these soul energies can only be used for shooting. For the time being, this ability does not increase Cang's combat effectiveness, but it is a direction with great potential.
Speaking of which, the energy utilization rate of the mechanical department is actually quite low.
Even though the Star of Death exploded with one shot from two thousand meters away, this series of operations, including the body, magazine and aiming, consumed five or six tubes of soul energy. If Yu Cang could prepare these soul energy using the Dragon Set of Light and Shadow, it would be almost enough to summon the black dragon.
You know, a black dragon's breath can melt through a wall, and the shock wave generated by its high-speed movement can easily crush the ground. Such power is equivalent to RPG rockets exploding with every move.
In terms of sustained combat, the Star of Death is far inferior to the Black Dragon.
However, it can also be seen that the advantage of the Killing Star is that it can accumulate power in advance and fire a large number of bullets in a short period of time, producing a high burst far beyond the current strength. Although it may not be strong in frontal combat, if it is used in guerrilla warfare...
Yu Cang smiled.
Sure enough, playing with guns is the most suitable thing for the army!
"If I had prepared twenty-nine full magazines and a Penetrating Star for the high school league... Tsk."
The picture is too beautiful to dwell on.
My lord, times have changed!
"But, it's unlikely."
The Star of Killing and the series of soul cards he will make later will definitely be sent to participate in the major armament reform. If there is no ranking, it will be fine, but once he gets first place, he will have to sign a confidentiality agreement!
When supplying the military, we must not be careless.
This is also the reason why Yu Cang did not use the Yingcao suit to participate in the competition.
Yingcao's paper has been published and anyone can read it. In this regard, this achievement is destined not to get first place, and it will not even be ranked very high.
Things that have signed a confidentiality agreement will definitely have some restrictions on their use, and they will definitely not be used in competitions.
Moreover, the competition requires fairness and justice. Everyone consumes soul energy on the spot to activate soul cards. How come you have accumulated so many wonderful tools for yourself by withdrawing them?
Before participating in the competition, each player must submit the deck to the association for inspection in advance. Even if there is no confidentiality agreement, this deck will probably appear on the "List of Banned Cards for Advanced Competitions".
"Yu Cang! Yu Cang, are you here?"
There was a shout from the ground. Yu Cang looked over and saw Qiu Ding approaching. He then spoke:
"What's wrong? Is the hunt over?"
"Well, it's definitely over. By the way, you..." Qiu Ding was about to speak when he saw the sniper rifle in Yu Cang's hand, which was almost as long as Yu Cang's height.
He couldn't help swallowing.
Damn, so handsome!
"Brother, who fired that sniper shot? Lao Gu? Why haven't I seen it before?" Qiu Ding felt a little jealous.
This old Gu, he has such a great treasure but he keeps it hidden... He hasn't even experienced it yet, but he gave it to Yu Cang!
"This...is not it." Yu Cang smiled and raised his hand to cancel the activation of the Soul Card. The Star of Death automatically decomposed into a pile of parts and then turned into a shadow and disappeared.
He jumped down from the treetops. "I got some inspiration from these guns and made a related soul card."
"Guns can also have soul cards?" Qiu Ding's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to remember that Yu Cang had indeed been turning on resonance before!
He didn't know how to make a card, and didn't know what it meant to make a soul card in such a short time, so he just said hurriedly:
"Hurry, let me play with it!"
"No." Yu Cang nodded, "This set of soul cards is made for the military, so it must be kept secret."
"Ah... no." Qiu Ding's expression fell. "Yu Cang, Master Yu Cang, do you have that basic version? I love shooting, but unfortunately the card makers I met are so useless. The soul cards they made are weak and consume a lot of soul energy. They are completely useless... Do you have that basic version? I can pay you to make a deck. It doesn't matter if it's a little weak, as long as I can shoot and bombard!"
When the word "bombardment" was mentioned, there seemed to be light in Qiu Ding's eyes.
The reason why he chose the Earth-Scorching Lord set was because he could use the Sunfire Curse to great effect.
Once the furnace is hung, it will be bombarded!
But in fact, the white moonlight in his heart is still guns!
The position of firearms in his heart is just like the position of Yingcao Suit in Jiang Lou's heart...it's just that the current firearm soul card is too weak, so weak that it can't even form a system, so Qiu Ding had to give up.
"No, don't even think about it." Yu Cang's attitude was very firm.
"Okay." Qiu Ding looked visibly disappointed.
"Mr. Qiu, Mr. Yu, so you are here." Guluo walked over with a smile from not far away.
Seeing that Qiu Ding had lost interest in hunting, he ended his morning session.
Behind Guluo, the coolly dressed service team came over carrying Qiu Ding's prey. The mountain goats were heavy, and even after training, it would take two or three people to lift one. At this moment, they were still walking on a mountain road and were already sweating profusely.
Even from time to time, blood would splash out from the wounds on the blue sheep's body and fall on its snow-white skin, which was very visually impactful.
After Gu Luo stood still, he said to Yu Cang with an apologetic look, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Yu. The mountain goat you shot...only has two horns left intact. We really can't help you carry it back..."
"It's okay. Speaking of which, it's me who caused you trouble."
"Of course not... By the way, in my impression, the retracted comet doesn't seem to have that much power." Guluo looked towards where Yu Cang had been before, his expression perceptive. "I seem to have detected traces of soul energy... Did Mr. Yu use some soul card to increase its power?"
"Yes, you guessed it right." Yu Cang just smiled, but didn't intend to explain further.
"That's amazing," Guluo exclaimed sincerely. "I've seen many people try to make firearms into soul cards, but in the end they only got some toys... Even Madam Yu couldn't do it. I didn't expect to see it here."
He didn't even think that Yu Cang did it himself, he just thought he was using someone else's work.
"Mrs. Yu is?"
"Oh, she's a card-making master in our club and one of our shareholders. Many areas of the club feature her work."
"Is that so?" Yu Cang nodded.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Guluo looked at Qiu Ding, "It's already noon. How about I take you two to the restaurant for lunch?"
"Okay... that's perfect. Find someone to take care of the mountain goat I killed. As usual, except for the legs and tenderloin, you can take care of the rest."
"Okay, no problem."
Yu Cang and the other man handed the retracted comet to Gu Luo, then followed him to the open space and got on a sightseeing car.
Guluo and Qiu Ding were chatting enthusiastically, while Yu Cang looked at the empty entry recorder, and an idea came to his mind, and he started extracting entries for the entire shooting club.
I saw a six-hour countdown appearing on it!
Yu Cang's expression changed, and then he smiled.
It looks like something good is coming.
…
The three of them came to a buffet restaurant in the club. Originally, they had to pay extra money to enter, but with Qiu Ding, they naturally didn't have to worry about it.
The restaurant is built next to a flat lawn. Looking out from the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a sparkling lake in the lowlands. Eating here can even make you feel good.
In some inconspicuous dark places, there are many soul card patterns, which are engraved here using the technique of making totems. According to Gu Luo, this is one of Mrs. Yu's works.
"Speed Stop Zone", a semi-permanent field soul card. Within the Speed Stop Zone, any object that reaches a certain mass and speed will be instantly teleported to other areas.
After all, this is a shooting club, and it is easy to hide guns. People who come here to eat are either rich or noble, and they can't afford to make mistakes.
After all, no one carries a duel shield around with them.
Therefore, a little protection was added here.
The teleportation effect of the Speed Stopping Domain has a low priority and can be easily rejected using soul energy, but obviously, there will be no soul energy on the bullet, so it can be considered that a shooting is impossible here.
"Master Yu Cang." Qiu Ding chuckled.
After seeing Yu Cang's sniper skills, he has successfully changed his name to Master Yu Cang.
Master, please send a sniper rifle.
Unfortunately, Yu Cang turned a blind eye to this.
Looking at Qiu Ding's attitude, Guluo on the side was very surprised.
What’s wrong with this rich guy? After failing to show off in front of others, why did he become more polite?
"Master Yu Cang, how long do you plan to play here today?" Qiu Ding laughed foolishly.
Yu Cang was carefully dealing with the exquisite sashimi on the plate.
The sashimi in this buffet restaurant was even more delicious than the ones he had eaten in other specialty restaurants.
He doesn't know whether it's authentic or not, but it's really delicious.
After swallowing the fish in his mouth, he said, "I haven't thought about it yet..."
Gu Luo immediately added: "We have a hotel here. You can rest here at night. It has all kinds of facilities."
"That's good. Looks like we have to stay here all night." Yu Cang nodded.
He gained so many useful entries from just two types of guns. He couldn't even imagine what he would encounter next.
After extracting the club in the afternoon, he would go wander around and look for something exciting to extract.
"Then Master, I happen to be free today, so I'll stay here with you... As usual, I'll cover all your expenses here!"
Yu Cang's eyes slanted: "Is your pocket money enough?"
"Uh..." Qiu Ding's face froze. "This... is enough, of course it's enough! How could it not be enough!"
The money may not be enough, but we can’t lose this battle!
At worst... I can borrow some secretly.
…
At this time.
A dark shadow suddenly came from a distance and rushed under the table where they were sitting. Yu Cang looked down and saw a little girl in a black dress clutching her calf tightly. She looked at Yu Cang with an uneasy expression and said timidly:
"Brother, can you save me..."
Before Yu Cang could react, he saw several men in suits approaching from a distance. The leader said apologetically:
"Excuse me, sir. Our young lady is having a tantrum and disturbing your meal. I'm very sorry... I'll take her back right away."
"Hmm?" Yu Cang looked at the group of black-clad men who were making a big fuss, then turned to look at the little girl beside him who was biting her lips and trembling all over, and frowned.
Thanks to Ye Ling for the tip! Thank you very much!
