Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 78: 【Blue Ghost】 and 【Thunder Snake】

Accompanied by Qiantiao for a night of gladiatorial gambling, this gambling-addicted woman lost all her money and left.

Her metaphysical gambling skills once again proved that gambling is a dead end.

Su'en, on the other hand, was in a good mood.

Although he lost a few thousand lisuo, the gratitude gifts from Rena and the fat guy Charlie were already a big profit.

In the morning, Su'en treated Qiantiao, this poor boss, to breakfast and sent off this boss who had agreed to gamble again in the future. Su'en then found a hotel and wanted to see what was special about the gun Rena had given him.

.......

In the sealed room, Su'en opened the alloy metal box, entered the password, and heard a crisp sound of metal gears biting.

Seeing the two runic pistols in the box, Su'en finally understood why Boss Qiantiao had said those "hidden wealth" words.

The recognition of these two guns was extremely high, with a strong cyberpunk technology style, low-key yet luxurious. They were the kind of guns that people could tell at a glance that they were of high quality and valuable, with a steady style.

One black and one blue, the gun bodies were engraved with advanced runes that balanced aesthetics and practicality.

"Blue Ghost and Thunder Snake?"

Su'en looked at the inscriptions on the gun bodies, his pupils slightly narrowed.

Having exclusive names meant that they were "named guns".

The definition of "named guns" was that they were made by a famous gunsmith and were unique.

These firearms were different from mass-produced goods in terms of materials, design, handcrafted enchantments, and runes. Some of their unique craftsmanship meant that they could not be mass-produced, and it also meant that these firearms had certain special functions.

There was also an identification certificate labeled "Markchin Firearms Workshop" and technical parameter instructions for the two guns in the mechanical box.

Su'en had heard of the late "Master Markchin", a top figure in gunsmithing, who dedicated his life to forging fine firearms. Because this master had passed away and his works were few, every one of his remaining works would cause a frenzy in the market. Those fine firearms were also the "artifacts" that all firearms enthusiasts dreamed of.

Su'en raised an eyebrow slightly. This gift was not light.

This was a top luxury item that was almost impossible for people from the outer city to come into contact with.

Perhaps only the kind of financial conglomerate like Rena's family could take out two guns as a thank-you gift at once.

Thunder Snake

Details: The gun body is made of Hegye nickel-based alloy, weighing 3.3 kilograms; the gun body is engraved with Level II stable runes, Level III sturdy runes, and residual shock energy recovery runes; the entire gun is enchanted with advanced elemental conduction, dust-free enchantment, and anti-oxidation enchantment; this firearm has a +20% firing speed, +135% accuracy, and +50% initial bullet velocity compared to the benchmark; it can be loaded with Level III high-explosive shells, and the effective range with regular bullets is 300 meters, with alchemical bullets reaching 600 meters...

Blue Ghost

Details: Weighs 2.5 kilograms; the gun body is engraved with Level II stable runes, Level I cooling runes, Level II sturdy runes, and special-grade permanent runes; intermediate elemental conduction enchantment, dust-free enchantment, and high-level wind element rifling magic pattern; this firearm has a +110% firing speed, +40% accuracy, and -75% recoil compared to the benchmark; it can be loaded with standard ammunition, with a record of firing seven hundred rounds without jamming, and alchemical bullet rapid-fire test rating of A+...

"These attributes are so strong... and this is still a handgun?"

Su'en looked at the technical parameters of the two guns and couldn't help but feel a sense of attachment.

He himself was now a mechanic who had mastered "Basic Mechanical Proficiency", and he could also modify and manufacture ordinary firearms.

So when he saw the attributes of these two firearms, he was shocked.

The attributes of these two runic pistols were not just outstanding, they were simply excellent.

Thunder Snake was a large-caliber super-powered handgun, which could be called a "hand sniper" without any problem. The blessing of advanced runes gave it the power and range of a regular sniper rifle.

The effective range of a conventional handgun was only 50-100 meters, but this gun reached 300 meters, and it was even more powerful when loaded with alchemical bullets.

On the other hand, Blue Ghost was a high-speed firearm, accurate, fast-firing, and with very little recoil, which was the only drawback of this firearm.

The data of this thing was so exaggerated that it was no different from a regular light machine gun. The specially made extended magazine could definitely double the firepower of the gunner.

After not daring to use the Three-Headed Ghost, Su'en was worried that he didn't have a runic pistol that suited him, but now these two were just right.

One with great power, one with rapid fire, it was simply a perfect match.

These two guns were even a grade or two higher than the two that the fat guy gave him in the underground dungeon. They were clearly high-level runic firearms worthy of being collectibles!

Moreover, besides the two handguns in the mechanical box, there were also neatly arranged boxes of alchemical bullets.

Su'en gently stroked the bullets in the box, as if caressing the delicate skin of a peerless beauty.

He didn't have the slightest fluctuation in his heart when the fat guy gave him the five hundred thousand, but looking at these two guns that Rena gave him, he really liked them.

Not to mention that there were several boxes of alchemical bullets, which were probably worth over a million. The two named guns were even more valuable and couldn't be bought with money.

Hmm, Miss Rena is so considerate.

"But the luxurious appearance of these guns is also a problem..."Su'en looked at the two high-value firearms and thought of something.

He didn't have any collectibles here; guns were meant to be used.

But it was too eye-catching to have them hanging on his waist like this. As a small gangster, he didn't deserve such top-notch firearms.

Although he couldn't manufacture firearms of this level yet, it was no problem to make slight modifications, like... making them look old and painting them?

Su'en finally understood that Rena had carefully selected these two seemingly ordinary-looking rune guns before sending them. She probably guessed that it would be inconvenient to carry them, so she wanted him to modify them for his convenience...

.......

When Su'en came out of the "Bearded Mechanic Shop" on Green Street, it was almost ten o'clock.

By the time he came out, the gun holsters under his windbreaker had been replaced with two slightly different-looking, old and worn firearms. The runes on the guns, which originally looked high-end, were covered with paint, concealing their sharpness and making them look ordinary.

He tried the guns at the shooting range, and they felt surprisingly good.

As their names suggested, the "Green Ghost" was a rapid-fire gun that emitted green ghostly flames from the muzzle. It could fire hundreds of rounds without getting hot and never jammed. The "Thunder Snake" was a sniper rifle that shot like a flash of lightning, accurate and deadly.

Su'en finally experienced the power of money. With the dual guns in his hands, his combat power increased significantly.

Now that he had money, Su'en also wanted to get himself a motorcycle for transportation. It was inconvenient to take the bus every time.

Coincidentally, the owner of the mechanic shop, Wright, had just finished modifying a heavy-duty motorcycle using old military parts from the inner city. Su'en bought it for over 20,000 lisu.

Firearms, leather jackets, motorcycles...

Now he had everything, the standard equipment for a veteran gangster.

.......

Calculating the time, today was the day to move into the house.

Su'en was tired of the environment in cheap hotels and urgently needed a private and stable place to make puppets and practice some alchemy with significant movements.

Before long, he rode his motorcycle to the small western-style house at 88 Gingko Street.

The landlord, Green, still greeted him with a smiling face, showing no signs that he had just rented out a "haunted house" where people had died.

Perhaps because the money had already been paid, and the contract couldn't be revoked, this fat man no longer concealed the fact that people had died here.

"I heard that someone died in this house before?"

"Oh, dear sir, as you know, too much dark spiritual power is a disaster for ordinary people. I think it was just an accident... And, don't you happen to need this dark spiritual power?"

"..."

The small house had been cleaned up.

The first floor had a living room, dining room, fireplace, and a maid's room. The second floor had a bedroom and a study, a very standard layout.

Although the furniture was a bit old, there were no signs of anyone using them.

There was also the spacious basement that could be used as a shooting range and laboratory.

Considering the price and the environment, it was really impeccable.

After all, more than one person had died in this house.

Su'en asked Green to accompany him and carefully visited every room.

Whenever he had doubts, he quietly used his All-Knowing Eye to scan, but he didn't find anything unusual.

Except for the higher concentration of dark spiritual power in the basement, which could cause people to deform, Su'en couldn't find any fatal factors.

Could it be that he was overthinking?

Rarely finding such a suitable property, Su'en didn't plan to give up just because people had died here.

He took the keys and rested in the house for the whole day.

Still, he didn't find anything unusual.

.......

At night, Su'en asked for leave from Kay and didn't go on patrol on Green Street.

He had something very important to do now, which was to turn the spider leg materials and blueprints into alchemical implants and officially become an alchemist.

Turning curse materials into alchemical implants required complex enchantments and alchemical conversion processes. With Su'en's current level of "Intermediate Forging," he could only handle black iron-level materials and had a high chance of failure.

Originally, he thought he could get some silver spider leg materials and then find a decent alchemy shop to customize his "Eight-Armed Spider God Spear."

But now, the materials were too good, which made him hesitate.

Materials of silver and gold quality could still be found in the outer city for alchemical refinement.

However, for "Dark Gold" curse materials, extremely high-end enchantments, runes, and refining techniques were required. This demanded a high level of comprehensive skills from alchemists. Even "Master-level" proficiency was needed to ensure that the materials wouldn't be scrapped.

In the entire Old Lingdun, there were only a few alchemists who reached the "Master-level," and those talents were often offered by the major families in the inner city. There were even fewer in the outer city, and even the alchemists in the three major gangs could only barely reach the "Expert-level."

Su'en only had this one set of Queen Spider Legs and didn't dare to try randomly.

So, he planned to go to the black market and inquire about any news of "Master-level craftsmen" in the outer city.Unless absolutely necessary, he had no intention of using his meager connections to seek out that wealthy woman Rena.
