The Death List Novel - Chapter 176
Chapter 176 Burial by Light and Darkness
The Thorn trade went smoothly. The consignor was only a beginner apostle, and it was one of those “low talent” apostles with long mission intervals. After obtaining the Thorn Technique in a quest world, he thought that he had something to hide and wished to make a big profit on this skill scroll.
Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The apostles who would spend tens of thousands of broken crystals to buy skill scrolls, which one of them was not a human spirit. Moreover, the applicability of the Thorn Technique was really low. As a result, after a month of consignment, the price of the Thorn Technique had been revised from 60,000 broken crystals to 45,000. However, the transaction still could not be completed.
In fact, this beginner apostle had already paid over a thousand broken crystals for the consignment fee. If he still couldn’t complete the transaction by the end of this month, he would have to brave the scalp and learn it himself.
Thorn Technique (D + level active skill): This is a wooden spell. It can utilize plant vitality to create a large number of wooden thorns on the roots and branches of plants. It is an offensive and defensive spell. If the apostles had good wood element affinity, they could even control the growth of the thorns to a specific shape while stimulating the growth of the thorns.
Skill Description: Learning Thorn requires the Law Body to have at least 200 Mana Points. Every time you use Thorn, it will consume 20-50 Mana Points, depending on the environment and supporting materials. Thorn spell has all kinds of upgraded versions. Details are unknown. The highest level Thorn spell is Descending from the Tree Realm.
Qin Lun used the [Arc Ballistics] skill scroll to exchange for this Thorn spell. Of course, the [Arc Ballistics] skill was much more valuable than the Thorn spell as a spear spell with a wide range of applicability. The apostle finally pasted Qin Lun’s 5000 broken crystals and seven seeds of the giant vine.
He had recently collected the seeds of these snake vines and planned to leave them for him to use after learning the Thorn Technique. The seeds of the snake vines were about as valuable as the seeds Malfoy had given Qin Lun.
However, the vine seeds turned into vines that possessed the consciousness of enemies and friends, and could automatically attack enemies. The advantage of the snake vine was that it grew extremely fast. As long as it wasn’t in a desert, it could spread out a large area on the surface of the building and on the ground in just a few seconds. If the apostles possessed wood element affinity, they could also control the giant vines to form a defensive vine wall.
Actually, Qin Lun had suffered a small loss in this deal. Gunpowder and firearms were not highly skilled, and they could be found everywhere in the Low Demon World. They were the weapons of choice for most beginner apostles. Arc Trajectory was a very practical spear technique, with a market value of around 45,000 broken crystals.
However, that beginner apostle was really poor. Dead pigs weren’t afraid of boiling water and couldn’t squeeze out oil and water even if they wanted to. Qin Lun could only pinch his nose and admit it. This time, he had also experienced the feelings of those high-ranking apostles who had been blackmailed by him in the past.
“Unlucky!” Qin Lun waved his hand in the private room with a gloomy face, as if he wanted to chase away some of the bad luck.
After completing the transaction, there was nothing in the skill scroll that he needed anymore. He then opened the gun consignment box. Unlike the Skill Scroll column, where there were only a dozen or so items, the firearms consignment column had more than 50 pages, each containing more than 100 items. It could be said to be dazzling, rich in varieties, from blue equipment to dark gold equipment.
Qin Lun excluded the blue firearms in the Quality column, the firearms below 20,000 broken crystals in the Price column, and the long spears in the variety. There were still two pages of consignment firearms left.
Qin Lun read the two pages of introduction to the firearms consignment very carefully. Since he had learned the [Fighting Spear Technique], the weapon he would buy next would be the main weapon for a very long period of time, and there was no room for carelessness.
To Qin Lun’s surprise, there were more than 300 short guns on the two-page consignment boards, and less than one-handed firearm could barely meet the requirements. Many of these spears were from the Horn of the Devil’s dwarves. The dwarves possessed extremely high attainments in mechanical technology. The firearms they placed in the auction house were quite a few purple equipment, even a few dark gold firearms.
However, although the firearms made by the dwarves were very powerful, the accuracy of the short guns was generally very poor. This was actually related to the characteristics of the dwarves themselves.
The dwarves were short and small, and to them, all of their opponents were large. In addition, their fingers were short, so most of the short-barreled guns were short, with poor accuracy, and they liked to use the trumpet muzzle barrel. The utility model has the advantages of large charge quantity, thick caliber and high weapon power.
This kind of firearm definitely did not meet the requirements of the accuracy and firing speed of combat firearms. Excluding the dwarves’ spears, the remaining firearms were the apostle’s equipment that the apostles had collected from the various mission worlds.
However, since these firearms came from various mission worlds, either they were gunpowder weapons or they were simply not suitable for human use. After searching for a long time, Qin Lun finally discovered that there were only a few firearms that met the requirements. All of them were gunpowder weapons that came from parallel spacetime on Earth.
One of these gunpowder shotguns, similar to the early Colt revolver, fits the bill. Early models of Colt revolvers were known as “cowboy revolvers”, or “six-shot guns”.
The revolver in the projection was a pair of twin guns. The long and slender barrel of the revolver was like a woman’s breasts. It was fittingly embedded into the body of the gun, and the entire gun showed a beautiful streamlined shape.
The pistol on the left was pure white from the gun handle to the gun barrel. This white was not painted in color, but the material of the gun itself was pure white. It was a metal that Qin Lun had never seen before. From the introduction of the gun, it had a sacred attribute.
The pistol on the right was completely black, giving off a strange, moist, black and shiny texture. It was also a metal that Qin Lun had never seen before, and had a dark attribute.
On the handle of the white spear was a lifelike little angel, holding a short staff in his hand, and on the handle of the black spear was a naughty little bat-winged demon, holding a ball of pitch-black flames in his hand.
The barrels and barrels of these two revolvers were inscribed with complicated patterns. They looked like artistic carvings, but they were actually symbols representing a mysterious power.
The shooting technique and shape of this pair of pistols were in line with Qin Lun’s requirements. The quality of a single pistol was red. If one person held two guns, the quality would strangely rise to the peak of the dark gold equipment, showing a high-grade purple gold quality.
In their introductions, the consignor makes a statement to this effect. This was because the runic formations inscribed on the two guns were only half of each other. Only when they were in the hands of the same person could they form a complete formation and activate the mysterious power within the firearm.
The materials of these two firearms were extremely precious. One was Holy Light Platinum with sacred attributes, and the other was Hell Black Gold with dark corrosive attributes. These two metal attributes were opposed to each other, and both of them had the ability to memorize. They could slowly repair the wear and tear in the barrel of the gun. With the help of the rune formation on the gun body, they became twin firearms.
These two spear lights were comparable to the Divine Ice Crystal Dark Gold Sword that he had seen in the Immunity Service Token trade. If he possessed a Spear Soul, he would probably be qualified to enter the Legendary Rank. Of course, this would first eliminate one of the fatal flaws of these two firearms.
The Holy Ice Crystal Dark Gold Sword that Qin Lun had coveted was similarly of purple gold quality, and its price was comparable to a legendary weapon. Based on the amount of broken crystals, it would be worth at least 200,000 broken crystals, and it was priceless.
However, the twin spears in front of Qin Lun not only sold for 100,000 broken crystals, but also looked like they had been slapped once. Even when Qin Lun read the introduction for the first time, he quickly skipped it. It was only because he didn’t have a more suitable target that he reconsidered them.
It was a bit unbelievable to say the reason! That was the pair of guns called “Light and Dark Burial”. They had no bullets or ready-made bullets in their minds.
The skills of these two guns were very simple. They used rune formations to speed up the bullets and lock onto their targets, giving them incredible initial speeds. At the same time, they also added Sacred and Dark Corrosion Attributes. But bullets must be made using specific molds and can only be made by the gunner himself.
This wasn’t even the most ridiculous setting for Light and Dark Burial. The most bizarre thing was that the bullet’s power was based on the mold and the material of the bullet itself, not the firearm.
In other words, if the bullet mold used as an accessory to a weapon was only blue in quality and the bullet materials were ordinary, then even if the Light-Dark Burial Attribute was added, the bullet’s power would only be slightly higher than the blue weapon’s.
The Dark and Light Burial consignment apostle had probably used the revolvers for a long time, as he had accompanied the consignment with three sets of moulds for bullets-blue, purple and dark gold. Among them, there were more than 200 blue bullets, 42 purple bullets, and 11 dark gold bullets.
Perhaps because of the previous auction, the consignor’s introduction to bullet moulds and bullet manufacturing was more general. However, Qin Lun was able to see the hidden trap at a glance.
Although the mold of the bullet also had dark gold quality, the material of the dark gold bullet was very expensive. Qin Lun roughly calculated that a single dark gold bullet would require nearly 200 broken crystals. Ten bullets would be 2000. If each gun consumes 50 bullets in a battle, it would be a hundred twenty thousand broken crystals …
Thinking of this, Qin Lun was speechless. Fighting Spear requires a fast spear, not a sniper rifle. In a battle, two guns consumed a hundred bullets. This was not a revolver, it was simply two gold-devouring monsters.
Now, Qin Lun understood why the consignor had made the Dark Gold Mold and tossed the Light and Dark Burial into the auction house. He probably couldn’t stand the consumption of it.
Apart from the weird setting of bullets, [Light and Dark Burial] met the requirements of fighting spears. It could completely replace the FN-500 as his main weapon. Qin Lun hesitated for a rare moment before clicking on the consignor’s contact number.
In the end, he decided to buy these two guns. Ever since he obtained the [Fighting Spear Art] and faced a career change, it was urgent to replace the main weapon.
Fortunately, he had only experienced three mission worlds and was a second-tier apostle. The quest world wasn’t too difficult. Blue bullets and purple bullets could still meet the damage requirements, so they didn’t have to use dark gold bullets. If he really couldn’t afford the bullet consumption in the later stages, he would be able to sell Light and Dark Burial.
