Free Web NovelChapter 231: Encounter, Swift Dismantle! Dangerous Man-Made Pistol, Valuable loot obtained
Caelus stopped in his tracks.
The pedestrian who was following behind him crashed into him, only to rebound and fall to the ground.
"Hey, watch where you are goin—" However, midway through his sentence, the pedestrian froze upon seeing Caelus’s face and the glowing glint in his eyes.
He gulped back his words, climbed back up, and went on his way without causing any trouble.
"The gaze vanished." Caelus frowned.
He felt it was strange. Why did the gaze vanish?
Caelus clicked his tongue. For a moment, he thought it was Sylvia. But if it were Sylvia, she would already be in his embrace by now.
Caelus turned around and continued walking. With a few strides and several blocks of walking, he arrived right in front of the bank. Here, he could exchange Origin Credits for money.
He swiftly gave all the credits he had on him to the teller. They soon returned him $200.
Adding the $200 to his previously existing $70 bank balance made his cumulative total $270. Now he could afford a sandwich, two rolls of toilet paper, a tube of toothpaste, a bar of soap, a bottle of shampoo, a pack of socks, a notebook, a pen, a phone charger, some snacks, a coffee, and maybe more.
Was that not great? This was one day’s earning, and he was proud of himself! It changed everything when you converted Origin Credits into real currency like this.
Caelus’s mind was filled with money now, aside from Sylvia. When he did not think about Sylvia, he would think about money. And when that did not happen, he would think about gambling. He was truly productive now.
After that, he went out. However, as soon as he stepped outside, he saw a commotion.
"If anyone dares to come forward, I will shoot this lady!"
"It’s the Direwolf gang," one of the passing civilians spoke in a fearful tone.
"Where are the cops? How come when they are needed, they are never around?"
"If you guys don’t want to get shot, then hand over your purses and Origin Credits," a man with spiky hair threatened. He had several lackeys with him, all wearing the same uniform. It had a direwolf tattoo on it.
He held onto a trembling woman and a gun was pointed directly at her head. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Caelus sighed seeing this. This place did not change at all, did it? Even though reality was completely altered now, Queens would never change.
He calmly walked through the crowd. Everyone gave him a weird look seeing him walk straight toward the Direwolf gang. They were people who would not hesitate to kill.
An old man even cautioned Caelus, but he did not listen to the words.
"Huh?" Their leader turned to Caelus with a cocky look.
The woman he was holding shivered as the gun in his hand pressed against her head even more aggressively.
"Don’t play around, kid. If you come closer, I’ll shoot."
Caelus looked at the guy strangely. "We are the same age, though."
"You are just a rookie," Caelus added with a smile. "What can you do?"
However, to many, a rookie was still ferocious and powerful. Combat score was no joke; a combat score of 2 for a rookie already far surpassed anything an ordinary civilian could handle. Not everyone on Earth was an awakener, and the civilians gathered naturally were not either. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Kid, I told you..." The man tried to threaten Caelus once again, but Caelus’s ascended body stretched as he arrived near the man with an indifferent look and precisely dismantled the gun with one swift sweep.
"You!" The leader was stupefied.
BANG!
However, before he could finish his words, a bullet shot through his head, killing him in an instant.
Civilians immediately flew into a panic, but Caelus did not care. He killed the remaining Direwolf gang lackeys in an instant using the same pistol. The captured lady, on the other hand, had already run away.
Seeing the commotion, more and more people began gathering, and this included players. But Caelus did not linger around; he had already disappeared into the crowd.
He was eyeing the gun with a curious light.
"The leader had a combat score of 18, but this gun’s bullet pierced through his skin."
A combat score of 18 meant the defensive power of 18 healthy humans packed together into one body. A normal gun shouldn’t be able to damage a player at all. It was a gun that could kill players! Most importantly, it did not have a stats window.
A man-made gun that could kill.
"Interesting," Caelus muttered.
To think the people of Earth had already found the means to create weaponry to eliminate players outside the means of the Origin Ascension domain. This world and the Azure Origin planet were completely different.
"If I’m not wrong, this can harm someone up to a combat score of 25."
Looking at the cartridge, there was one bullet left. He was going to examine it more thoroughly once he was back at the dorm.
But this was created without a help from the origin ascension. This was a lab experiment.
How it fell on a direwolf gang member was still a mystery.
"To think people my age would join gangs and threaten to kill people. This world is truly dangerous," he sighed.
Money was the goal here, after all. People joined such places for money, power, women, and freedom from the law.
"But picking a fight with them was not completely useless." Caelus glanced at the chip in his hand.
[HP Increment Card (Uncommon, 1-Star): Increases HP by 5 points.]
An HP increment card. These uncommon ones sold for roughly $50,000 market price after a quick Google search. These cards were processed from monster cores. But there was a limitation on how much you could increase your stats.
For now, he was not in immediate need of 5 HP. He would keep it with him until he found another way to increase his HP like with his star king talent or chaos dragon body, and then sell it at an auction for money.
But for now, it was time to head back. He swiftly found a Starlightbucks and bought a coffee.
However, on the way, he paused in his tracks as someone blocked his way.
