Last Totem Novel - Chapter 151
Chapter 151 Sniper
“This student, what do you want to exchange for?” Seeing the other party’s dazed expression, the girl frowned and asked again. Tie Zha came back to his senses and sensed that he had lost his composure. He grinned and said that he wanted to see the Psionic Warrior Rifle.
“This way please.” With that, the girl turned around and walked into the depths of the hall.
On a gun rack in a corner, Iron Slag saw the legendary Psionic Warrior Rifle. The rifle was about 100 centimeters long and had a mahogany butt. The iron slag casually picked up a handful, feeling that it was a little heavy. Carefully observing, the spear body was engraved with fine lines.
“Student, are you a traditional evolutionary?” The girl asked curiously. Tie Zha looked at the rifle and nodded. The girl then introduced that this was an experimental psionic martial artist rifle. Its principle of operation was to use the lines on the spear body and the psionic energy absorbing device inside to fill the psionic energy sand in the psionic warrior’s body into the empty bullet, so as to achieve the effect of an ordinary psionic rifle.
However, there was still a difference between the two. Ordinary psionic rifles were filled by psionic warriors on their own and were highly controllable, while psionic warriors’ rifles were filled by internal devices that absorbed psionic energy on their own. This led to complex deconstruction of the rifle body, resulting in problems of heavy weight and difficult maintenance. In addition, the psionic martial artist rifle took a long time to load and could not fire continuously. Currently, its main purpose was sniping.
“According to what you said, what’s the point of this kind of rifle? The number of traditional evolutionaries is already very small, plus they can’t shoot continuously. What’s the use of this?” Bai Xiaoyun asked. At the same time, this was also the question that Tie Zha wanted to ask.
“We can’t shoot continuously, but its power is not small.” The girl then analyzed that the psionic energy in the body of the traditional evolver was in the form of “star sand”, a form of psionic energy aggregation. As a result, psionic warriors filled the empty warhead with high psionic energy density and strength, and their power was comparable to that of rank eight psionic warriors. In this world, the number of Psionic Adepts who could advance to the eighth rank was definitely fewer than the number of Traditional Evolution Stage Psionic Adepts.
Dean Ernest had predicted at the press conference that the appearance of the psionic warrior rifle would greatly enhance the social status of traditional evolvers. In the future planar battlefield, it was very likely that there would be a group of long-range snipers wearing mechanical power armor and wielding large psionic rifles. This army of psionic warriors would greatly supplement the lack of precision firepower in planar battlefields.
Hearing the girl repeat Ernest’s words, Tie Zha felt his blood boil and almost swung his card to buy one.
“How much is it?” Tie Zha asked.
“120 credits.” The girl replied.
“Wow … this is too expensive! Ordinary psionic rifles only have 35 credits, and this is an experimental type.” Bai Xiaoyun exclaimed.
The girl explained that the technique was provided by the Princess Guard.
It was said that after nine months, they discovered the prototype of the psionic warrior rifle in the Eight Sages Laboratory in the north of the Nether Sea. Afterwards, the Temple Princess allocated a large amount of research and development funds to replicate the experimental psionic warrior rifle based on the prototype of the rifle. The exploration and development costs during this period could be said to be astronomical. This matter had aroused quite a bit of controversy in the academy at that time. Many people said that the princess of the Temple had made a mistake in her decision. She invested a large sum of money in such a rare project, and it would not yield any benefits at all, because the psionic warriors in this world were generally poor.
Finally, the girl concluded, “Compared to the cost of exploration and research, it’s already very cheap.”
Hearing this, Tie Zha suddenly noticed that the shape of this rifle was somewhat similar to his old-fashioned shotgun. It was also made of mahogany hilt, and the trigger was very close. No wonder it felt so easy to grip it earlier …
“Student, what are your considerations?” The girl asked expectantly.
Tie Zha slowly pulled out his faint golden magnetic card, looking a little hesitant. At this moment, the celestials in his heart were at war, thinking about whether to buy or not. Buying it would definitely give him a soft spot to eat, and it would be very difficult to turn around. If he did not buy it, it would seem that he was somewhat unwilling to accept it.
When the girl saw the magnetic card in his hand, her expression changed subtly. The corner of her mouth curved up imperceptibly, “This classmate, I suggest you think about it for a while. After all, it’s expensive. It’s not good to buy the wrong thing.” As she spoke, the girl took out a bronzed business card from her bra and casually handed it over.
Tie Zha took the business card, and when he took it, there was a trace of body temperature on it, reminding people of the place where he had just placed it …
In order to show his courtesy, he carefully examined it and wrote,
[Mu Qianhe, CSUM Exchange Center Guide, Field Nurse]
[Communication No.: 63825202789]
“Thank you.” Tie Zha nodded at Mu Qianhe, then left the Exchange Center with Bai Xiaoyun.
Back in the lounge, Tie Zha found a small corner and dialed Mu Yuqin Xin’s voice communication. Not long after, a sweet female voice came from the receiver.
“Hello, this is Qing Yu Manor’s communication switchboard. May I ask who you are looking for?”
“Mu” Tie Zha forcefully stopped talking, stuffed the communicator into Bai Xiaoyun’s hand, and whispered, “Tell him to look for Qin’s assistant.” The latter took the communicator and repeated his words.
“Sorry, there is no reservation here. Please go to the Student Union Building Secretariat tomorrow to make an appointment. Thank you.” After saying that, he hung up the communication. Bai Xiaoyun spread out his hands, expressing helplessness.
Seeing this, Tie Zha couldn’t help but sigh. His status was so low that he couldn’t even make a call. Thinking about it, he might be able to find her in the virtual world. Thinking of this, he brought Bai Xiaoyun to the virtual training hall and swiped his card into the virtual cabin.
After the cabin door was closed, a notification came from the speaker.
[Good evening, driver. Please swipe the card in the card slot at the side of the driver’s seat…]
It wasn’t until then that Tie Zha remembered that his student card wasn’t working. The successive blows made him feel extremely unhappy. He thought to himself that after so many days had passed, Alice had not heard anything unusual about the dormitory. Perhaps this matter had passed just like that. Taking a step back, even if You Ge finds him, what can a little girl do to him? Thinking of this, he took out his student card and landed on Ingrail.
The main screen flashed and entered the rest center of Base No. 1. It was nine o’clock in the evening, and the lounge was packed with mecha. Some of the mechas overlapped and became translucent. Tie Zha picked up the side keyboard and clicked [Join Public Chat Room]. Immediately after, a translucent chat window popped up, and massive amounts of information appeared.
CSUM Battle Beast: [Beast Guild Recruitment, Sergeant or above]
CSUM Shifan: “The Heart Rain Guild recruits friends with the rank of sergeant and above to do missions together. Thank you.”
Big Brother of the Fire Thief: “The Artillery Guild has recruited people. Let’s fire ten thousand cannons together and earn credits together.”
NSUM Northern Pirates: “Black Flag Guild has recruited, Black Flag Guild has recruited.”
…
Tie Zha struggled to type the word “zither assistant” and then pressed Enter to send it. However, before he could see it clearly, the message was brushed out of the screen. He could only send these three words in a row, hoping that Mu Yuqinxin would be able to see them in the vast amount of information.
When he sent it to the seventh time, a small chat window suddenly popped up in the upper left corner of the main screen.
CSUM Battle Beast: “This classmate, what do you need Qin Assistant for?”
Tie Zha typed, “Yes.”
CSUM Beast: “What is it? Tell me more clearly.”
“I have something to do with her,” the iron slag entered.
CSUM Beast: “Then go find it yourself.”
Tie Zha typed, “Yes.”
CSUM Battle Beast: “Coerced, don’t pee to take care of yourself. What kind of status is it? It’s weird that she will pay attention to you.”
Seeing the other party’s arrogant words, Tie Zha frowned and was about to close the chat window. At this moment, a mechanically synthesized female notification sounded in his ears.
[Driver, Heart of Sword Gallbladder requests a call connection. Do you accept? ]
Tie Zha answered, and Mu Yuqinxin’s lazy voice came from the other side, “Brother ~ You missed me so quickly ~”
“Who is that beast?” Tie Zha asked in a deep voice.
“CSUM Beast?” “Yes.” “A noble from Silver City No. 16, what’s wrong?” “Nothing, just casually ask.” ‘”Brother, if you have something to say, just say it directly ~” “He said you wouldn’t pay me any attention.”
“Are you jealous?” As soon as he finished speaking, a silver-bell-like laughter sounded from the other side. Tie Zha coldly snorted, and the laughter over there abruptly stopped. Immediately, Mu Yuqin’s deep voice came, “Ignore him, you little punk. If I make you unhappy, I’ll find a reason to expel him tomorrow.”
“No need.” Iron Slag said indifferently. He was not the kind of person who would surely repay a kindness of heart, and after more than two years of Kozan’s nurturing, his temper had become much better, so he would not take this trivial matter to heart.
Next, the conversation between the two of them got to the point. He suggested to Mu Yuqinxin that he wanted to set up a team to do the academy’s mission, but he lacked the funds to start it. He asked her if she could borrow a sum of money and stressed that the proceeds of the mission would be prioritized for repayment of debts and interest.
“In what capacity did you ask me?” Mu Yuqin asked in her heart, her tone filled with amusement. Tie Zha said that she did not understand. Mu Yuqin laughed in her heart and said that if he made a request to her as “Little Black Face”, she would directly transfer a sum of money to him. There was no need to repay him, so she would treat it as “maintenance fee”. Tie Zha’s veins popped out as he threatened to hang up his voice. Seeing that he was angry, Mu Yuqin put away her laughter and said seriously, “If you are looking for an investor as the team boss, then I will not lend you any money, because your conditions are not attractive at all.”
Tie Zha asked what it meant. Muyu Qinxin analyzed that if the team wanted to find investors, they had to solve three problems: credit problem, risk problem and profit problem. There was no credit problem between her and the iron slag, so there were only risks and benefits left. Teamwork was a high-risk investment. If one wasn’t careful, the entire team would not be able to return, and the investors’ money would be wasted. Therefore, high risk must have a high return, otherwise investors will not be tempted.
“What do you need in return?” Tie Zha asked sincerely.
“It’s not Xiaoqing, it’s an investor.” Mu Yuqin corrected.
“What kind of return do investors need?” He asked unhappily.
“I want Little Black Face.” She giggled.
