My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 108: Searching for Minerals

Hearing Ma Jiafeng's words, the others looked over, skepticism plain in their eyes.

Looking at the training field, the two guns firing in succession, two shots at most to shatter a shadow of a Demonized Beast, this is considered ordinary?

If it had been any of them, who knows how many Demonized Beasts would have already crossed the green zone!

"What are those looks for? Do I not know the skill level of my own brother? Why should I bother deceiving you!"

As Ma Jiafeng said this, it didn't seem like a lie, and the others began to grow puzzled.

Bursting seed... wasn't supposed to be this explosive... Gradually, their gaze fixed on the revolvers in Ma Jiazze's hands, spitting flames.

"Could it be...?"

Their breathing became heavy.

Although it seemed incredible, if it was really as they suspected, those handguns would be too powerful!

In the Dream Shooting Range, as time passed, more and more Demonized Beasts appeared, including numerous Flying Demonized Beasts with faster speeds and more difficult-to-hit weak points.

The pressure on Ma Jiazze increased.

Suddenly, he aimed at a Flying Demonized Beast and fired. Click—the sound of an empty chamber. Even these modified revolvers, with their large Hive Magazines, had a limit and couldn't hold up for long in this kind of high-intensity output.

The watching Awakeners sighed slightly; several Demonized Beasts had already drawn near the green zone, but unexpectedly, one of the revolvers had run out of bullets. To fail in such a situation would be a pity.

Ma Jiazze's face changed, one hand hurriedly ejecting the Hive Magazine while the other, still holding the gun, fumbled for a new magazine, his movements somewhat clumsy yet incredibly swift.

He was astounded at himself; since when had his hands been that fast?!

The others gasped in amazement.

"So quick, is this the power of third-tier Awakening?"

"No, even at third-tier, it shouldn't be this fast. I'm at least at second-tier myself, and there's no way my eyes can't keep up."

"Exactly." Ma Jiafeng nodded, "I'm stronger than Jiazze, yet I don't have that speed. Plus, I'm very clear on my brother's abilities. No amount of solitary practice for over two decades could yield that hand speed."

He remembered something Ma Jiazze had mentioned earlier, about feeling lightweight when picking up those revolvers.

At the time, he hadn't thought much of it, but now...

Ma Jiafeng's eyes burned as he looked at the revolvers, filled with amazement. "Incredible, Director Tang was able to develop such weapons."

Finally,

The training session in the Dream Shooting Range came to an end. Ma Jiazze wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking weary as he walked out.

Then he saw the score that appeared beside him, B-.

The ordinary difficulty level was far from comparable to the simple one!

He was suddenly filled with excitement, "I had no idea I was this strong. Maybe I should switch careers and become a gunman."

As he spoke, he nodded to himself, feeling the suggestion was very viable, especially when holding those revolvers; it gave him a sense of being an unrivaled gunman.

After all, he had hardly trained with firearms at all. Only after Awakening had his eyesight improved, aiding his aim, so achieving this level was no small feat.

He must be a genius.

Only a genius could score a B- on the ordinary difficulty level.

While he was lost in this pleasant fantasy, a large hand slapped onto his head. Ma Jiazze glared as he turned around, only to see his older brother looking down at him with a sidelong glance.

"Don't you have any idea of the level of your own marksmanship?"

After the test, Tang Yu found two Awakeners with different strengths and had them enter the Dream Shooting Range for an experiment.

Indeed, with the Swift Revolver in hand, they all performed exceptionally well against the ordinary level difficulty and smoothly passed the ordinary level of the Dream Shooting Range.

Afterward, someone tested the more advanced difficult level and although they failed quickly, they still demonstrated the power of the Swift Revolvers.

One Patrol Team member after another had shining eyes, barely stopping short of asking Director Tang how much such weapons cost.

Ma Jiazze alone wore a look of dejection.

His dream of being a genius had been ruthlessly shattered. Yet, looking at the exquisite revolvers, his confidence quickly reignited. After all, holding those two revolvers he felt like a firearms genius.

He also wanted two revolvers like that.

Taking back the Swift Revolvers, Tang Yu revealed a satisfied smile.

Especially seeing the eager looks on the faces of the surrounding Patrol Team members, he smiled even more contentedly.

Desire is a good thing…

With this, the soon-to-be-launched Swift Revolvers should indeed trigger a new wave of competition among the Patrol Team members, and also motivate them to contribute more diligently to the Sanctuary, to earn contribution points.

And after a round, those Source Crystals and other materials would all end up back in his hands.

That would be awesome.

...

Back at the research institute, Tang Yu entered the newly tested data on the revolvers into the database.

With this data, he could use it to enhance weapons.

Currently, there were two methods to enhance weapons: one was through the research institute, improving schematics; the other was to replace the manufacturing materials of the weapons with those of a higher grade.

Such as Demonized Beasts' claws, bones, scales, etc.

Many materials were much harder than ordinary iron, and even compared to Transcendent Minerals, they might not be inferior.

Weapons like the Swift Revolvers, powerful, accurate, and with a touch of class - not making a couple of stronger ones for himself would just not be right.

After optimizing the schematics for the Swift Revolvers, Tang Yu chose the most suitable materials, many of which were from high-level Demonized Beasts during the Source Crystal Mine campaign.

After manufacturing them in the workshop, two brand-new Swift Revolvers were quickly produced.

Perhaps due to the different materials, these two revolvers weren't the usual black but had a glossy silver finish, and the barrels were longer, improving both the range and power of the guns significantly.

Of course, the cost was also much higher.

"It's a pity that the enhanced version of the Swift Revolvers can be made with Demonized Beasts materials, but the Floating Chariot can't. Many of the materials are specific minerals that can't be substituted. Moreover, upgrading the Lord's castle to level four also requires a special material, which seems even harder to find."

It almost made him feel a touch of melancholy, the sheer quantity and variety of these materials were simply overwhelming!

The task of finding materials needed to be implemented as soon as possible.

Tang Yu called for Luo Zhe.

"Lord, do you have any orders?"

Tang Yu took out a stack of freshly developed photos, "Keep an eye out for these minerals when your Patrol Team is out and about, and also post relevant missions at the adventurer's union. Whether it's actual samples or just information, both are good."

Luo Zhe nodded.

"Right," Tang Yu thought for a moment, "The general Sanctuaries might have some Transcendent Minerals. We can start by trading with these Sanctuaries. Perhaps we can gather these Transcendent Minerals more quickly."

Originally, in Wang Tai's safe, he had found a large chunk of Transcendent Metal which he now realized was a very high-grade Transcendent Metal.

These metals might not always exist in large clusters. Like the piece of Transcendent Metal from Wang Tai, if it had come from a vein, it wouldn't just be that one piece. Tang Yu was more inclined to think that for some reason these Transcendent Minerals were scattered sporadically.

There might also be large clusters like the Source Crystal Veins, which would definitely be considered strategic-level resources. However, generally speaking, finding Transcendent Minerals didn't seem to be related to strength; luck and numbers seemed to be more important.

Instead of having the Patrol Team search on their own, it might be better to try their luck at other Sanctuaries.
