While Bai Liu and Tang Er were talking, Hua Gan took out a ruler and carefully stretched it from the tip of Mu Sicheng's left paw to the tip of the other paw, and then measured at the two shoulder ridges.

"The arm span is 2.17 meters, the toe length is 9 centimeters, the shoulder width is 46 centimeters, and the total length of the upper limb is about 77 centimeters."

Hua Ganjiang was recording while talking about his apprentice. Finally, he pressed down on the bulge of Mu Sicheng's shoulder blade, turned around and said, "--The upper limbs and height can still grow. Make it 85 cm."

Mu Sicheng shifted uncomfortably.

The apprentice looked at Mu Sicheng in disbelief, and muttered with a little envy, "Hands are so long, and they're still getting longer. What a monkey..."

Mu Sicheng glared at the apprentice with a ferocious look: "I am growing! I am still young, and there is no part of my body that is not growing! Even my breasts can still grow!"

Apprentice: “……= =……”

General Hua Gan interrupted Mu Sicheng's attempt to provoke his apprentice: "He is praising you. Long hands are a good thing."

Mu Sicheng looked over in disbelief.

General Hua explained: "Looking at your figure, you should exercise regularly, right? Let me give you an example from sports. In most competitive sports, such as basketball, volleyball, and even table tennis, which are relatively less full-body sports, generally speaking, are athletes with longer arms more popular?"

"You have always been good at sports since you were a child, right?" General Hua glanced at his arm.

Mu Sicheng hesitated and nodded.

"Long arms mean that your attack and defense ranges are larger than others. I've watched the game videos that Charles sent me. Your reflexes are very sharp, and your dynamic vision is one of the best players I've ever met. Ninety percent of the raids that enter your attack and defense range will be interrupted."

Hua Gan put away the ruler and raised his eyelids: "Do you know what this means?"

Mu Sicheng was still thinking, and General Hua Gan didn't expect this guy to give him an answer. He turned around, put away the measuring tape, and continued to talk without thinking: "There is no member in your team who has the skills to act as a [Shield]."

"Your high movement speed and stealth skills make you more like a [roamer] or [attack], but your arm length widens your defensive range, which means you are a pretty good [shield] within the arm length range."

General Hua Gan turned around and looked at Mu Sicheng: "You have made up for your team's defensive deficiencies, and you can also serve as a roamer and secondary attacker."

"With this three-pronged identity, the tactician can use you as the tactical contraction point and extension, greatly flexibly improving the offensive method and reducing the risk of the attack."

As he spoke, General Hua Gan tried a piece of armor iron on Mu Sicheng, and then handed it to him naturally as if he was telling Mu Sicheng to wash his hands, saying, "Then hold this piece of iron and put your hand into the magma."

Makushiro, who was a little flattered, said: "Oh, okay...what?! Why do you want to put your hand in!?"

General Hua Gan looked at him strangely and said, "Your weapon is a monkey's claw. Of course you have to put your hand into it to temper it."

Mu Sicheng glanced at the bubbling hot magma. His apprentice was just putting a sparkling diamond into it. In less than a second, it melted into nothing but a wisp of green smoke.

"Master, has the temperature of your magma risen again?" The apprentice patted his forehead in distress. "Diamonds with a melting point of 4,000 degrees can only be melted to make the base. The cost of transformation has increased again..."

Mu Sicheng: "..."

If he puts his two-meter-long arm in there, it will instantly melt into only one meter!

Mu Sicheng refused to do it, so Hua Gan did it quickly and asked Bai Liu for help: "Hey, your team members are not cooperating with the transformation."

Bai Liu, who was talking to Tang Er, poked his head out from the side and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hua Gan pointed at Mu Sicheng who had his hands behind his back and said, "I just asked him to put his hands into the magma, but he refused."

"What do you mean by 'just'!!!" Mu Sicheng's eyes widened and he cursed, "You try it yourself!"

Bai Liu raised his chin towards Tang Er and said, "Go and help him."

Seeing Tang Erda walking towards him, Mu Sicheng couldn't help but cover his chest and shouted in horror: "Hey! What are you doing? Don't come over here! Ah————!"

Mu Sicheng, who was hit by Tang Er and had his hands clamped and put into the magma, was stunned: "Hey, it doesn't hurt."

The warm magma swung on his monkey paws. The metal in the paws melted like butter on an iron plate, then flowed out from between his fingers and slowly moved to the edges of his toes.

Not only is it not hot, it's also a little comfortable.

Mu Sicheng got angry again. He arrogantly poured magma on his arms, glanced at Tang Erdang who was behind him, and was about to kick him away: "Get out! I need you to help me, but I can do it myself..."

Before he finished his words, the action of Mu Sicheng pouring magma caused foam to splash onto his trouser legs outside the pot, burning a big hole in the blink of an eye. The flame burned upwards along the edge of the hole, scalding Mu Sicheng and making him jump.

It was Liu Jiayi who quickly put out the flames with a fire extinguisher.

She couldn't help but look at the hole in his pants with a look of pity, as if he were looking at a fool. The hole was only less than 20 centimeters away from Mu Sicheng's lower body. "This is magma. It's a little special when it's tempering your skill weapon, but this temperature is more than enough to burn you and your pants."

Mu Sicheng lowered his head with a blanket covering his legs (because Bai Liu thought it was immoral to expose his thighs in front of little girls, so he let Mu Sicheng cover the holes in his pants).

He sat beside the stove with his head down like a young wife who had been oppressed, not daring to do anything else, and washed his hands with lava in tears.

Compared to the chaotic transformation process of Mu Sicheng, the transformations of Liu Jiayi and Mu Ke are much clearer.

"I am a [control] player, but I hope to expand the scope of my control." Liu Jiayi took out her poison and antidote glass bottles and said concisely, "The fragile glass container limits my performance. I need a drug container with a shorter rest period and higher volatility, preferably one that can also add a certain offensive attribute."

General Hua Gan pondered for a moment and said, "There is a container that meets your requirements, but I don't know if it can be smoothly integrated with your medicine bottle."

Liu Jiayi looked up: "What container?"

"Wait, I'll find it and show you..." Hua Gan buried his upper body in a pile of things that looked like garbage and searched for it, scratching his butt from time to time, "...I remember it was here, eh!"

Hua Gan threw two rusty cans backwards. Liu Jiayi caught them steadily. She looked down and couldn't help but twitching her lips twice: "——Anti-wolf spray bottle?"

Hua Gan patted the dust off his hands and said, "I didn't tell you to use this. I just gave it to you for reference. It's similar to a spray paint bottle. It can be used to store your poison and antidote, and maximize the therapeutic effect. It can also expand the scope of use."

"Using the spray bottle, as long as you calculate the dosage of poison or antidote properly, you can even use your skills as if there is no skill cooldown period."

Liu Jiayi weighed the bottle of anti-wolf spray in her hand and threw it back to General Hua: "If I use this, what is the maximum control range?"

Hua Gan took the spray bottle and said, "I can modify the spray head so that it can spray within a range of 30 meters, but at that distance, the effect of your medicine will be very low and it will be almost dispersed. It can only play a deterrent role."

Liu Jiayi nodded in understanding. This is how spray containers work. The farther the attack range, the lower the effect.

General Hua put on a welding helmet, pulled out a welding gun and aimed it at the spray bottle. He gave Liu Jiayi a questioning look and said, "If you are sure about this container, I can make you several spray heads with different control gears, such as the one with the strongest concentration of chemical, which can reach 15 meters, then 25 meters, and the weakest, which can reach 30 meters."

"You can also make nozzles with different concentrations, right?" Liu Jiayi asked, "For example, a needle-shaped nozzle with extremely high concentration, or a shower-shaped nozzle with wider diffusion."

General Hua nodded quickly: "No big deal."

Liu Jiayi made the decision without hesitation: "That's it!"

The apprentice put Hua Gan's modified spray bottle and Liu Jiayi's skill container glass bottle into a colander and submerged it in the magma.

Mu Sicheng, who was still washing his hands with magma, curiously leaned over to take a look. He saw Liu Jiayi's glass bottle slowly melting into liquid in the colander, and then slowly clinging to the spray paint bottle at the other end.

Hua Gan threw up a pair of black daggers, hooked them with his index finger, and glanced at Mu Ke: "This is not your skill weapon. There is no connection of desire between you and this pair of daggers."

"Yes, someone handed it over to me." Mu Ke answered General Hua Gan honestly.

"It's light, fluttering, fast, and sharp." Hua Gan ran his thumb across the blade of the dagger, and after seeing the blood, he licked it with his tongue without caring, licking it for a moment, "This is a pair of top assassin's daggers. The only weakness is that it is difficult to hurt people."

"This guy is a soft-hearted and cowardly guy." Hua Gan opened his eyelids and glanced at Mu Ke, "——He is completely different from you."

"Although your aggressiveness is not obvious, it is very strong. The dagger born from your desire must be cruel and vicious. It looks harmless but will definitely hurt people. It is different from this dagger with a blank blade."

Mu Ke smiled friendly and echoed General Hua Gan's words: "Is that so?"

General Hua Gan glanced at him and said, "These are not your original weapons, so the modification process is much more complicated, but I can handle this. However, the most troublesome thing is that after the modification, I am not sure whether you can still establish a soul connection with these two daggers."

“這不是你的欲望衍生物，我也不知道它改造之後還能不能繼續容納你的欲望。”

木柯問：“如果容納不了，會怎麽樣？”

“你會和匕首一起爆掉。”華幹将屈指在匕首上叩了叩，“最好的改造方式就是保留不動，你安全這匕首也安全。”

“安全嗎……”木柯垂下纖長的眼睫，他是唇紅齒白的精致長相，這樣垂眸不語的時候給人一種矜貴的脆弱感，仿佛什麽名貴易碎只能用來裝飾的物什。

“如果是之前，我大概會選更安全的選擇吧。”木柯似乎思量好了，他淺笑着擡頭，眼神穿透面前的華幹将，悠悠散散落到靠在牆上的白柳上。

白柳平靜地注視着木柯，好像已經知道了他會做出什麽樣的選擇。

木柯将目光凝聚在了華幹将的臉上：“有沒有什麽辦法，能将這個匕首一瞬間的攻擊力拉升到最大，能将對手一擊致命的那種。”

“我要成為最好的刺客，當我游走到敵方陣營的一瞬間，我就要帶走他們的戰術師。”

華幹将答：“有。”

但他又說：“刺客的确是最适合【游走】的技能，但刺客的宿命就是犧牲，竟然說出要一擊帶走對方的戰術師這樣狂妄的話，那你做好犧牲自己的準備了嗎？”

木柯毫不猶豫：“做好了。”

華幹将定定地凝視木柯片刻，然後收攏自己的視線，看向了擺放在桌面上的一對匕首，深深吸入一口氣，才道：“你不适合匕首這種染血過少的短器。”

“你适合武士刀這種以身殉主的長兵。”

木柯并不覺得華幹将的“以身殉主”這說法有什麽不對，他禮貌地躬身道謝：“勞煩華幹将先生了。”

牧四誠還在用岩漿洗手，見那學徒又提一個漏勺過來，裏面放着兩把匕首和一柄染着血跡的長刀，往鍋爐邊上一挂，然後朝白柳和唐二打走了過去。

這學徒怯怯地看他們一眼：“到，到你們了。”

白柳和唐二打對視一眼，走了過去，唐二打抽出槍，平放在桌面上推了過去。

華幹将觀察了這件武器許久，才取下挂在眼睛旁的放大鏡，凝神看向這唐二打：“你的武器不需要改造了。”

他把槍擦幹淨放回唐二打的手裏：“你的武器就是最适合你的樣子，你的欲望一直以來也未曾變過，就是最開始你進入游戲的欲望，這把武器可能唯一需要微調的——”

華幹将點了點槍柄上那朵玫瑰烙印：“——就是這個玫瑰烙印了，你該為自己的武器換一個烙印了。”

“就像是給你的靈魂換了一個歸屬地那樣。”華幹将說着，深深地看了唐二打一眼。

唐二打怔住了，他不由自主地握緊了手裏的槍，槍柄上玫瑰的烙印硌在他手心，冰冷又熟悉，是跟随了他無數個世界線的印記——

——就像是蘇恙溫柔等待他的笑，和那一聲隊長。

但現在的隊長可是蘇恙了，他再也不需要等待那個不負責任，只會逃避的隊長了。

唐二打低頭看了那柄槍審視了許久，最後才低笑了一聲，釋然道：“換吧。”

學徒又拿了一把漏勺，把槍和白柳的一只手套放了進去，浸沒岩漿挂在鍋爐旁。

牧四誠奇道：“白柳的武器改造不是已經完成了嗎？怎麽又拿回來了？”

學徒頭也不回：“不是給白柳先生的武器改造，是用白柳先生的武器給唐二打先生的槍更換烙印。”

“最後就剩你了。”華幹将一掃白柳放上來的骨鞭，就挑了下眉，“你不懂改造師的規矩嗎？武器改造不做骨鞭。”

白柳倒是第一次聽這說法，饒有趣味地反問：“為什麽？”

華幹将把白柳的骨鞭推了回去：“因為在目前這個游戲裏，最完美的武器形态就是骨鞭。”

“任何改造師見過黑桃用一次骨鞭，就再也沒有辦法想出比這個還淋漓盡致的攻擊武器。”華幹将像是在回憶什麽般頓了頓，然後又道，“而我見過不少次了。”

“我自認改不出比骨鞭更好的武器形态，所以立下規矩，不改骨鞭。”

華幹将不耐煩地揮手：“快把你完美的武器給我拿走！”

白柳從善如流地收起骨鞭。

改造進展到了尾聲。

劉佳儀麻煩了改造師給她的隐形眼鏡（紅桃送她那雙）打上了流浪馬戲團的标記，牧四誠小心翼翼地抽出自己在岩漿裏浸泡許久的手，學徒一個又一個拉起挂在鍋爐邊沿的漏勺。

猴爪上深棕色的流動金屬盔甲一樣柔軟又堅韌，摸上去有動物皮革的質感和金屬的冰涼，牧四誠伸出長指甲，上面就像是鍍銀一般閃閃發亮，随意往下一抓，防禦力四千以下的材料豆腐一般糜爛。

“哇靠——！！”牧四誠猛地站起，眼神發亮地捧着自己的手，“攻擊值變強好多！”

木柯從漏勺裏抽出自己的武士長刀，和他的外表不同，這是一柄簡樸過頭的武士短刀，長約四十厘米，刀鋒冷冽如雪，映着木柯波瀾不驚的面容。

能在中間看到兩柄匕首嵌合的痕跡，木柯往下一掰，刀柄斷開，又變成了兩柄匕首，輕微貼和，又像是磁鐵般互相吸附變回了長刀。

木柯靜靜望這把短刀，他呼吸細微到不可聞，沉靜得就像是沒有風吹過的深潭與死水，一絲漣漪也無，連外貌的容光都随着刀成而隐秘了下去。

他雙手包握刀柄，目光猛地一淩，毫無征兆地對着放在桌面上的一顆鑽石，往下狠狠一揮。

鑽石毫無動靜。

木柯收刀回鞘，姿态平寧地轉身離去。

十幾秒後，鑽石的中心出現一低細微的裂紋，這低裂紋越來越大，互相交錯聯合，最終讓這顆鑽石碎成了一灘齑粉。

劉佳儀的玻璃瓶變成了兩個一紫一白的油漆罐，成年人手掌長度，輕巧方便，開口處安置了十幾個不同射程散射度的噴頭，劉佳儀眼神新奇地上手試了試——然後在牆上用毒藥腐蝕出了一幅抽象主義的圖畫。

只有唐二打拿到武器後比較沉穩，他出神地看着槍柄上那枚六芒星和狼人眼睛的标志，手指無意識地摩挲。

“我說……”華幹将頭疼地打斷了這群胡作非為的家夥，“差不多就可以了，系統大廳裏你們不能對人使用攻擊性技能，只能在物體上試，但死物和你們真正對戰的人可不一樣，要試進游戲試。”

白柳把一群興奮得跟小孩似的隊員聚集在一起，和華幹将道謝。

但被他不耐煩地趕走了：“快滾快滾！”

白柳領着改造完畢的隊員往外走。

牧四誠的耳機側面被華幹将手刻上了六芒星和狼人标記，現在被他勾唇蓋到了頭上。

唐二打向下拿着槍柄上是六芒星的手槍，目光警覺地橫掃四方，劉佳儀坐在唐二打的肩膀上，戴着紅桃送給她的隐形眼鏡，瞳孔折射出六芒星和狼人眼的圖案——這是她麻煩華幹将印上隐形眼鏡的。

華幹将本來想把隊伍标志物印在木柯的短刀上，但被木柯搖搖頭拒絕了——他是刺客，越低調越容易偷襲成功，這樣顯眼的标志不利于他僞裝自己。

而且……

木柯擡眸，虔誠專注地看向走在最前方的白柳的背影，呼吸輕到不可思議。

他不需要在外部刻上那個标志了，因為他的生命，記憶，乃至于靈魂都已經被刻上了那個印記。

白柳整理好手套的邊沿後，雙手自然垂落身側，手背上的岩漿流動的六芒星标志熠熠發光，他掀開眼皮，向前踏出了第一步：

“明天正式開始聯賽對抗訓練，我們要尋找有聯賽玩家的游戲訓練了。”

“好！！”

牧四誠意氣分發地接話：“我們明天打誰！”

白柳回頭，似笑非笑：“殺手序列。”

牧四誠懵逼了：“？！什麽？！哪個公會？！”

“我們明天去單挑有黑桃在的冰原副本。”白柳漫不經心地抖了一下自己手上的魚骨鞭，笑意越發深，“去領略一下傳聞中最完美武器的風采。”

作者有話要說：

我的基友：技能武器相當于欲望的衍生物，白柳想要去領略黑桃的武器就相當于想要去領略黑桃的欲望，還是拿自己的鞭子（欲望）去領略對方的武鞭子（欲望）……

我的基友：懂了，他們馬上要擊鞭了
