Qian Da Pang looked at Su Xiao with a smile on his face, but inside he was roaring MMP. This handgun is not from their Black Sail’s inventory; it wasn’t just a coincidence. He had people buy it from other merchant guilds.
According to market prices, compared to four Soul Crystals (Large), this firearm has greater value. Handguns are always favorites among Contractors; this differs from sniper rifles, which require more advanced firearm abilities.
Their stock of eight Soul Crystals (Large) is depleted from Black Sail’s inventory. As for purchasing from other merchant guilds, that’s a disaster, with prices at least several times higher, only used for emergencies.
Rather than being exploited by other merchants, Qian Da Pang prefers to acquire a Legendary Tier firearm. Su Xiao, as the strongest of the Third Tier, is highly valuable to associate with. Last time when Black Merchant 24K made a deal with Su Xiao, Su Xiao warned 24K not to get involved in Stan’s matter, which naturally reached Qian Da Pang’s ears.
Furthermore, when Su Xiao introduced Reed to Qian Da Pang, he almost jumped with joy. What is the concept of having a Forging Master, especially with Su Xiao as a guarantor?
Su Xiao is very pleased with this Legendary Tier firearm. The power of this thing can only be described as terrifying, not to mention its abilities; just looking at the attack power aspect, attack power represents bullet speed, bullet penetration, bullet kinetic energy, etc., and the calculation method for firearm attack power is worlds apart from that of close combat weapons.
[Destroy·Assassin] has an attack power of 140～198, which doesn’t seem like much on the surface, but if you compare it, it’s quite evident.
[Black Ebony Wood, White Ivory (pseudo)] has attack power: 27～53
[Spider Queen] has attack power: 60～134
[Duke of Extinction +13] has attack power: 154～213
No comparison, no damage. As a handgun, [Destroy·Assassin]’s damage completely overshadows the Spider Queen Sniper Rifle.
That is to say, using this against Second Tier Contractors is essentially one shot, one junior; if the opponent is Third Tier, aim for the head. Someone who can survive one shot is tough; someone who can survive two shots is a Third Tier tough guy; someone who can survive more than five shots, that’s absolutely a Tank.
This is just the attack performance of [Destroy·Assassin]. This handgun, abbreviated as D·Assassin, has three main performances.
First, it locks onto six enemies’ heads and quickly makes six headshots. If there is only one enemy, it forms three marks, shooting three consecutive headshots, and this lock is instantaneous.
Second, increase the damage by 45% during a headshot. With Su Xiao’s firearm abilities and the performance of the ’Assassination Gun,’ headshots are very easy.
Third, after the bullet hits the enemy’s head, it forms a silent field with a diameter of 3 meters.
The third ability is arguably more terrifying than the first two. [Destroy·Assassin]’s bullets are already silent and shield perception. If a room contains ten people, even if Su Xiao headshots six of them, the remaining four won’t react in time.
Bodies dropping won’t make a sound, chairs won’t make a sound when hit, unless the enemy sees it with their own eyes or the bloody scent permeates, they won’t realize their companions have been killed.
Using this to assassinate enemies is far more terrifying than assassination from a close combat assassin.
"Brother Bai Ye, are you satisfied?"
Qian Da Pang maintained a smile.
"Very satisfied."
Su Xiao knows well enough to quit while ahead; there are many future opportunities to use Black Merchant, which is developing rapidly.
"Glad you’re satisfied, glad you’re satisfied."
Qian Da Pang pressed his chest with one hand; his heart will ache for a while.
"I have three pieces of equipment to put on consignment with you."
Su Xiao produced [Ghost Hunter], [Moon God Silver Ring (Suit 1/2)], [Spider Queen]. Although he used the Spider Queen Sniper Rifle for a long time, it no longer has room for improvement.
"Certainly welcome."
Qian Da Pang’s enthusiasm skyrocketed when he saw the [Moon God Silver Ring] piece of the Golden Suit.
The limit of Su Xiao’s stay is approaching, and he has other things to do, so he can only consign these three pieces of equipment.
Leaving the shop, Su Xiao heads straight to the Attribute Strengthening Hall. He’s about to do something significant, rescuing his Charm Attributes.
Fifteen minutes later, inside an ordinary Attribute Enhancement Cabin.
[Welcome to use the Attribute Enhancement Cabin, your bare attributes are as follows.]
Charm: 9 points.
[Hunter can freely allocate attribute points: 25 points]
[This is an ordinary Attribute Enhancement Cabin, unable to display or enhance real attributes.]
Su Xiao allocated all 25 attribute points to Charm Attributes. The Attribute Enhancement Cabin immediately started running. This is Su Xiao’s first time enhancing Charm Attributes, and the feeling is unique, different from enhancing other attributes—it is hard to describe.
Moments later, the Charm Attribute enhancement is complete, Su Xiao opens his eyes with only one thought: is that it?
He opens the attribute list to check his personal attributes.
Strength: 92 (King of Demon Hunting adds 5 points)
Agility: 91 (King of Demon Hunting adds 4 points)
Stamina: 90 (King of Demon Hunting adds 3 points)
Intelligence: 87
Charm: 30
...
Su Xiao stares at the 30 Charm Attributes, mentally calculating 9+25=30??? Isn’t it supposed to be 34 points?
His mouth opens and closes; he can’t fathom where the 4 Charm Attributes went. With such a discrepancy, he naturally consults Reincarnation Paradise.
[Checking...]
[No anomaly found in attribute enhancement, Hunter’s Charm Attributes raised to 34 points.]
[Note: Hunter’s Charm Attributes affinity is extremely low, personal charisma reduces the Charm Attributes resulting in slipping to 30 points.]
[Warning! Hunter’s Charm Attributes may decrease at any time.]
[Warning! Hunter’s Charm Attributes may decrease at any time.]
...
Su Xiao lights a cigarette to calm himself down.
[Smoking is prohibited in the Attribute Enhancement Cabin, deducting 20 Paradise coins from Hunter.]
Su Xiao doesn’t extinguish the cigarette, only feeling more depressed.
[Note: Hunter’s Charm Attributes on bare equipment have reached 20 points, Hunter may choose one of the following rewards.]
A. Peace Envoy: Increase default favorability by 5 points with plot characters (Warning, due to Hunter’s personal charisma, this ability effect will be greatly reduced).
B. Listening: Increase affinity with wild creatures by 8 points.
C. Summoning Enhancement: Increase summons limit by 1.
...
Among the three rewards, Su Xiao doesn’t hesitate and decisively chooses reward C.
Just after Su Xiao chooses the reward, Reincarnation Paradise’s prompt appears again, his stay time is over.
The familiar teleportation sensation occurs, and when Su Xiao’s vision returns, he is already on the second floor of a jewelry store in the real world, where he quickly falls asleep.
Su Xiao sleeps soundly for over twenty hours before waking slowly, feeling completely refreshed as it eases his tense nerves.
On going downstairs, he finds it’s already afternoon; he routinely opens the store door, sits at the entrance, and engrosses himself in gaming. Occasionally vehicles drive by on the street; pedestrians are not too sparse nor too crowded.
The relaxing real-world stay is always fleeting. As Bubu Wang yawns, urging Su Xiao to prepare dinner, a notification from the New World arrives.
