The Death List Novel - Chapter 87
Chapter 87 FN-500
The 3D projection floating in front of Kieran was a deformable weapon called the FN-500. The FN-500 is an intelligent weapon developed by the robotic family. It possesses primary silicon-based life characteristics and can be manipulated by specific brain waves of other intelligent lifeforms.
The FN-500 can be deformed into particles, which means that the total mass and volume are constant and the particles are recombined. The FN-500 can be combined into two forms.
The first was a long-range weapon, which was an antique pistol after it was transformed. In fact, it wasn’t very accurate to say that it was a pistol. It should be called a handgun. Because it has a caliber of 25 millimeters, the black muzzle can be stuffed into a ping-pong ball.
The handles of the FN-500 were thick, with a hammer attached, and the entire gun was only 225 millimeters long. From the looks of it, he was as short and rough as a bad boy with a hot temper.
The FN-500’s hand cannon didn’t have a magazine, it used light energy shrapnel, and it used trigger mode. It could be said to be a strange firearm that was nearly a thousand years apart from ammunition technology.
The second form of the FN-500 was a melee weapon, a classic gentleman’s sword. The slender and graceful flexible sword blade was less than half an inch wide, and its tip was as sharp as a needle. There was an arc-shaped hand guard at the handle. The entire sword was silver-white, and the hilt was scarlet red. It was also made of metal.
This sword was extremely elegant and noble, carrying a dense aura of nobility. However, to people who did not have any special training in swordsmanship, this sword was more like an ornament than a weapon.
However, Qin Lun knew that Joey would definitely approve of this sword. The two of them were one, and there was no secret at all. Qin Lun was well aware of the weakness of the murderer.
How did Joey get his nickname “Decomposer”? Wasn’t it because he was too coquettish and liked to act like a noble gentleman, and didn’t he call a dissection and torture an art! It didn’t matter if he didn’t know swordsmanship, he could use it as an art collection. In any case, Qin Lun could only use the FN-500 pistol form.
FN-500 (Particle Transformation Weapon)
Quality: Dark Gold
Material: Semi-silicon-based organisms, Titan alloys
Weight: 1250 g
Form I (Light Energy Shotgun)
Length: 225 mm
Caliber: 25 mm
Effective range: 100m
Equipment Ability: Instant Fire
Instantaneous shooting: The FN-500 can fire eight light energy shells at a time. This shot is a specific shot after aiming. The light energy shells will directly converge one meter in front of the target to form a landing point with a range of ten times the caliber of the target.
Hint: The firing interval of FN-500 is limited by the intelligent state of FN-500 and the energy-gathering material. Currently, the cooldown time of FN-500 is 20 seconds. The FN-500’s attack range, aiming accuracy, and gathering strength could be controlled by the owner’s brain waves. As the Laws body’s sensory stress and gun proficiency increased, it could indirectly increase the skill’s power.
Form II (Narnia Thorn)
Length: 1150 mm
Equipment Ability: Sharp
Sharpness (Passive Ability): The FN-500 can utilize converged light energy to increase the sharpness of the sword blade and reduce the resistance to stabbing and cutting. As the Laws body’s sensory stress and swordsmanship increase, it can increase the attack power of the stabbing sword.
Equipment Requirements: FN-500 Form I requires the user to possess firearms mastery technology, while using instant firing requires firearms mastery technology. Form II of the FN-500 requires the user to possess basic swordsmanship, and intermediate swordsmanship is required to activate sharpness.
Dark Gold Quality … Qin Lun rubbed his chin and pulled down to look at the auction price of the equipment. The starting price: 50,000 broken crystals, one mouthful price: 85,000 broken crystals, available for interview!
Looking at the auction time of the FN-500, a smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face. This weapon had been auctioned for a week, and no one was willing to pay the starting price. Currently, there were only the last three days left in the auction, so it was obvious that it was going to be auctioned off.
Qin Lun quickly clicked on the connection function on the 3D projection and tried to contact the owner of the weapon. Very quickly, an apostle wearing a mask sat in front of him.
“Hello, judging from the communication number, you should be here for the FN-500!” The apostle on the other side spoke in a low voice and said very straightforwardly, “Tell me how many broken crystals you are willing to offer. I will only give you one chance to bid.”
“Haha, I don’t have that many broken crystals on hand. I want to trade them for items. I also have a Dark Gold equipment that I need to sell!” As he spoke, Qin Lun took out the hexagonal prism shield from his storage space and placed it in front of the projection.
After seeing the hexagonal prism shield, the apostle paused for a moment and then said calmly, “Very good shield, I agree to exchange! The FN-500 is already deposited in the auction house, and I will notify the auction house to exchange equipment.”
“Exchange? Haha!” Qin Lun looked meaningfully at the apostle and stopped talking.
Although the two sides were separated by an invisible projection screen, the apostle on the other side seemed to feel Qin Lun’s disdain and immediately fell silent. After a moment of confrontation, the apostle on the other side finally said, “I can add another gun control scroll or a basic swordsmanship scroll. I’ll give you two choices!”
“Haha, I’m not interested in your proposal. I’ll give you another chance to bid, one last time!” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and said indifferently.
“My FN-500 can be approached from afar. Firearm skills are almost a must-have attribute, and both offensive skills can be enhanced as one’s own abilities increase …” The apostle on the other side endured his anger and explained.
However, his voice gradually weakened as time passed. The silent Qin Lun gave him a lot of pressure. The advantages of the FN-500 are simple and obvious. It is obvious at a glance, but its disadvantages are also obvious. Only some rookies will not realize it.
However, the two forms that could be approached from afar were indeed very powerful. However, they required two proficient weapon technologies. If the FN-500 were to be dismantled into two weapons, it would be two top-notch blue-quality equipment. Especially in the form of firearms, their instant firing ability was too strong. Not only did they possess a range of attacks, they also gathered light energy shells in front of the enemy, making it almost impossible for them to dodge.
However, the requirements for both proficiency levels were too high. If they were to be dismantled into top-notch blue firearms, the equipment requirements might have to be lowered by one grade. Most importantly, these two proficient techniques were completely different types. One was long-range attack techniques, and the other was melee combat swordsmanship.
As for the increase in the power of the weapon mentioned, it would be limited by the material of the weapon. There must be an insurmountable upper limit, and there was also a very hidden flaw in it.
The power of the FN-500’s aggregated light energy increases with increased body stress and skill proficiency. Physical stress is a physical attribute, while skill proficiency is a technical attribute. These are two completely different aspects.
In other words, with so many restrictions, the practical value of this powerful weapon, which could be approached from afar, became very low. In terms of equipment value, it was probably the lowest and most impractical type of dark gold equipment, and it was only slightly better than the top blue equipment.
This was also the reason why a Dark Gold weapon was priced at 50,000 broken crystals and would still be auctioned off. Although its starting price was lower than the average price of dark gold equipment, it was still far higher than the sum of the two top-grade blue equipment.
Qin Lun’s hexagonal prism shield had three shield skills. It had good defensive capabilities against both physical and magical attacks, and it also had the ability to counterattack with mirrors. It could be said that all dark gold equipment belonged to the top tier. After all, it was a top-grade concessionary equipment given by the Fragmentary Star Sky in the Gold-ranked evaluation.
As for the mana requirement of 280 points for the Hexagonal Prism Shield, among Dark Gold equipment, only newbies like Qin Lun would be unable to meet this requirement. Any other mature official apostle would be able to meet the equipment requirement.
If one were to compare the two pieces of equipment, the value of the hexagonal prism shield would be 10 points, while the FN-500 would only have 4 points at most. If not for the fact that Qin Lun and Joey didn’t need a shield in their fighting style and were in a hurry to improve their fighting abilities, he wouldn’t have traded for this item.
After a period of silence, Qin Lun was finally impatient. He spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders. He used body language to indicate that the transaction was over, so he wanted to turn off the contact projection.
“Wait, you win!” The apostle said bitterly, “Your shield is indeed of the highest quality. It’s hard to find such a good shield in the market. Furthermore, it seems that your demand for the FN-500 is not very strong …”
“You’ve finally shown your sincerity. This business will only truly begin from now on!” Qin Lun said with a smile.
The equipment trade between the apostles was different from the ordinary trade. If the ordinary trade could not be done, there would be no profit. Sometimes, for the sake of principle, one could insist on not making concessions, but the apostle’s equipment was related to one’s own life. Every piece of top-grade equipment was a seller’s market, so it was only normal and reasonable to sell it at a premium price.
Moreover, the value of the hexagonal prism shield far exceeded that of the FN-500. It was also a defensive shield, and there was simply insufficient supply on the market. Forget it, this apostle didn’t see it. Since he saw it and the other party was intentionally exchanging it, he wouldn’t let it go unless he couldn’t satisfy the offer.
It was a matter of life and death, so there was no need to bargain!
This was the reason why Qin Lun had remained silent! If this apostle really told him to turn off the projection connection, it meant that he was an idiot. There was nothing to discuss with an idiot. At most, he could find two pieces of top-grade blue equipment to replace the FN-500.
The apostle on the other side stopped talking and waved his hand. A row of projections of equipment appeared in front of him. Qin Lun’s pupils narrowed as he looked at these dark gold-quality equipment items. To be able to possess so many free equipment items, this apostle was very powerful. Perhaps he was a boss of an apostle guild.
“These are all my spare equipment. You can choose as you like. However, you can’t be too greedy. Otherwise, I can only give up.” The apostle on the other side shook his head and sighed.
