The Quick Shooter's Slim Belt

After the Big Fire raged on.

All that remains is devastation.

Roger quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

The Multi-legged Earth Dragon was clearly not heat-resistant, and not many parts of it remained.

But the Titan Ant is different.

Even if this monster is burned alive, it will leave behind pieces of hard ant shells.

However, these ant shells were scattered in the soil and were not easy to pick up.

Roger simply ordered his muscular underlings to dig up all the soil in the area.

You can make a funnel or sieve later.

All he cares about now is "Aether Dragon Eater"! The Ultimate Hunter has quietly begun.

The next second.

Roger skillfully licked, gnawed, sniffed, and sucked the small corpse in his hand!

On the data panel.

"Ultimate Hunter: Unable to lock onto target's form, known traces +0"

"Ultimate Hunter: Unable to lock onto target scent, known traces +0"

"Ultimate Hunter: Insufficient known traces, unable to track the target"

Roger stopped speaking and frowned, "Untraceable?"

This was the first time he had encountered a monster with this characteristic, and even the powerful Ultimate Hunter was helpless against it!

"The information about monsters in the Red Soil Wasteland that person gave me did not mention Aether Dragon Eater."

"I don't know if he deliberately concealed it, or if there aren't many Aether Dragon Eater in this generation."

Roger was somewhat worried.

If it's the former, that's fine.

If it's the latter, then things will be troublesome.

After all, it's not easy to meet such a compatible brother.

"Don't rush."

Roger quickly adjusted his mindset.

Aether Dragon Eater carefully.

He grabbed another handful of ant shells covered in soil.

After a series of similar actions.

The Ultimate Hunter has taken effect! Following the guidance of the solid golden line, Roger quickly found the nest of the "Titan Ant"!

It was a mini underground cave hidden beneath a hill.

Roger ordered his muscular underlings to occupy the four sides of the hill—this was to use the superior bloodline of the devil to block the Titan Ant ' retreat.

He then observed silently for a while and determined that there were 19 visible exits from the nest.

The next moment.

He beckoned to several of his underlings to pour bottles of "Dragon Fat Fire" into the lair entrance!

Not long after.

The Dragon Fat Fire, emitting the scent of fragrant oil, permeated every corner of the anthill.

"Sixth Sense: The Titan Ant Begins to Panic (Dragon Fat Fire)"

"Sixth Sense: The Titan Ant Begins to Enjoy It (Dragon Fat Fire)"

Faced with the overwhelming suppression of the Quasi-Horned Demon.

Some of the Titan Ant that had tried to escape the nest quickly retreated.

And tempted by the sweet and delicious aroma of Dragon Fat Fire.

A significant number of Titan Ant began to regard it as a food source.

Roger sensed it through his Sixth Sense.

The worker ants are skillfully carrying the Dragon Fat Fire to the queen.

He hadn't expected this phenomenon.

Take advantage of the opportune moment.

His light touch ignited the entire anthill! The sun was setting.

The twilight and flames reflected on Roger's face, subtly outlining a hint of loneliness.

But this dejection quickly turned into ecstasy!...

"You have killed 1 Titan Ant, bringing your total number of Titan Ant killed to 1,902,680."

"You have gained 1 XP point (total 1,000,000 points)"

"Note: You have accumulated more than one million XP from the Titan Ant. Your special ability - Accumulate XP can no longer be used on the Titan Ant."

"Oh... this is so stingy!"

Although he was complaining.

But Roger was actually laughing so hard he couldn't stop.

The million XPs that appeared out of nowhere made him feel like he had discovered a new world.

"There must be quite a few ant-like monsters, right?"

That's what he was thinking.

He casually added all the newly acquired XP to the "Basic Experience Pool," which gave him a greater sense of security.

"This is what it feels like to gradually become stronger!"

As the fire gradually subsided.

Roger summoned the Quasi-Horned Demon construction team to begin digging.

Roger has spent a considerable amount of money on them over the past six months—

The four-piece set of knife, shovel, axe, and spade for each person is a fine product made by the Gray Dwarf of Band City.

With the support of these equipment.

The construction team was extremely efficient, and in no time they had dug out the entire anthill.

It has to be said.

The nests of Titan Ant are quite complex and spectacular.

Beneath the complex structure of an anthill.

Pieces of gray-black heart-shaped stones were exposed.

"Sixth Sense: You've Discovered an ' Ancient Stubborn Stone '"

"It's actually a stubborn rock!"

Roger excitedly dug out a heart-shaped stone and examined it carefully in his hand.

Ancient Stubborn Stone are a rather rare material.

Within the system of contract masters, it is one of the most suitable contract carriers.

The contract, carved on Ancient Stubborn Stone, grants varying degrees of benefits to both master and servant! Compared to this, Rabbit Skin is barely adequate.

Roger pulled out a shovel and quickly started digging.

Before long, they unearthed six Ancient Stubborn Stone.

"With these stones, I can re-sign the contract with the Quasi-Horned Demon and make them even stronger."

"I also need some ' Bauhinia Water ' and a suitable ' Engraving Knife '."

The discovery of the Ancient Stubborn Stone was a truly unexpected surprise.

On the Red Soil Wasteland.

There must be quite a few such ant nests.

This means that Roger will at least not lack stones for the foreseeable future.

Thinking about this.

He was full of energy!...

Remove the stubborn rocks and ant shells.

Roger also found a lot of equipment inside the anthill.

Unfortunately, most of the items were Corrosion formic acid and became unusable.

There was one thing that was intact and caught Roger's attention.

That was a revolver.

"Silent Justice (Revolver)"

Rating: SS

"Attribute: Accuracy +10"

"Drive: Primal Stone (Fire)"

"Normal Attack: Fires a rapid burst of 7 bullets at mid-to-close range units, with each bullet dealing between 40 and 64 damage."

"Precision Shot: Targeted slow fire at close to medium range, with single-target damage between 100 and 160."

"Roaring Justice: Drain all the energy from the Primal Stone and unleash a barrage of bullets, increasing the damage of each bullet to 300%."

"Requirement: Gunslinger License"

To be honest.

Roger wasn't interested in the gun.

Revolvers are only suitable for close to medium-range combat, and at close to medium-range, they are already moderately invincible.

Even Transcendent Weapon like "Divine Song".

Roger only uses it under specific circumstances.

Not to mention ordinary goods like this.

However, Roger also found some other clues beneath the pistol.

Roger gave a signal, and his men immediately went to work.

Not long after.

A skeleton that had been buried by sandstorms for an unknown period of time was unearthed.

Along with him was a bulky weapon case.

This is a standard weapons case for the Cowas People.

It is often equipped with Primal Stone, conventional and special bullets, lubricating oil, and other daily maintenance tools for thermal weapons.

Roger used his Gunslinger License to open the weapons case and found it filled with a dazzling array of items.

First, there are the weapons.

Inside were eleven identical "Silent Justice" swords! And then there was a unique belt.

"The Quickdraw Gunslinger's Belt (Leather)"

Rating: SS

"Attributes: Quick Draw +10 / Quick Weapon Switch +10"

Special effect: The first bullet fired after drawing the gun deals double damage.

"Hidden compartment (16): Can only hold ' Silent Justice ' or its matching bullets"

Below the belt was a thick book.

"The Quickdraw Gunslinger Handbook"

Roger casually opened it and flipped through it a couple of times.

A new notification appeared in the data panel.

"You've acquired a new profession: Quickdraw Gunslinger."

"Quickdraw Gunslinger Options: 1. Part-time (high experience penalty). 2. Advanced (cannot advance if prerequisites are insufficient). 3. Expansion Module (expandable). 4. Abandon."

"Ah, this..."

Looking at the book in my hand.

Roger fell into deep thought.

Twelve "Silent Justice".

A thin belt.

Roger quickly grasped the combat principles of the "Quickdraw Gunslinger" profession.

There are three main points.

1. Utilize the number of revolvers to compensate for the long cooling and recharging time of firearms.

2. Use the thin belt to quickly draw and switch weapons.

3. Utilize special bullets to enhance single-point burst damage at close to medium range.

To sum it up in two words:

It's a money pit.

In the end, Roger put these things away for the time being.

Quickdraw Gunslinger is an advanced level of sharpshooter.

In the game of my previous life, the gunslinger was a rather useless class.

It is said that in the late game, once you get to pilot a starship and summon a mech, this class will become very powerful.

But Roger only saw it in promotional videos.

It's uncertain whether it's really that powerful.

And he doesn't lack this immediate fighting force for the time being.

He had to use the Expansion Slot he painstakingly obtained by farming the necromancer skill to be careful.

Anyway, the book won't get lost if I keep it.

There's plenty of time to expand on this later.

The nights on the Red Soil Wasteland are exceptionally cold.

In the Underground Camp.

The faint sounds of Quasi-Horned Demon fighting could be heard.

Inside the pharmacy.

"Sang Qi's Cauldron" was running diligently.

Right now, there's a big, dark thing cooking inside.

"You added a whole bunch of Titan Ant shells."

"Divine Power Element detected, totaling 500 units."

"The separation and purification of Divine Power Element is in progress..."

"You have gained 25 units of Divine Power Element."

"Sang Qi is indeed a good girl, and she has made great contributions to my achievements in pharmacology."

Roger happily poured the "Miracle Essence" into the empty glass bottle.

Then some beneficial herbs and water were added as a harmonizing agent.

He thought about it.

I added a little more water.

One bottle of Steel Supplement is now ready!

"Steel Supplement: 720 seconds after consumption, your Base Defense Value +12"

Look at the attribute description.

Roger smiled with satisfaction.

"Steel Supplement" + "Copper Skin Iron Bones" equals Mashu's "Golden Bell Cover"! Base Defense Value of 20 points is already quite remarkable.

Below the level of extraordinary ability, everyone who sees him gets a headache.

The attributes granted by the Titan Ant can only be described as "a fleeting encounter".

But the materials they contributed were full of sincerity.

This significantly elevated its status in Roger's heart.

In the following month.

Roger then settled down in the sparsely populated Red Soil Wasteland.

He hunted down the monsters listed in the intelligence while searching for the trail of the "Aether Dragon Eater".

However, progress in both areas has been unsatisfactory.

The variety of monsters in the Red Soil Wasteland is far less than that in the Primitive Forest.

Aside from relatively common monsters like Titan Ant, Multi-legged Earth Dragon, and White Sand Maggot, the other monsters are not only rare, but also have poorly defined attributes.

As for Roger's instant connection with the Aether Dragon Eater.

He's never seen a second one!

A month later.

Roger destroyed 12 ant nests, killed over ten million Titan Ant, and his kidney metabolism capacity reached 300 points.

Based on "Immune to All Poisons".

His toxin resistance has increased to 80 points, making him immune to most common toxins and 50% of extraordinary toxins, and he has also gained an additional stamina bonus.

Roger is quite satisfied with this progress.

But at this point...

He decided to return to Sunrise Town.

On one hand, it was to find information about the Aether Dragon Eater.

On the other hand, it was because there wasn't enough food.

Hunting in the Primitive Forest, the Quasi-Horned Demon are completely self-sufficient because of the abundance of monsters.

But the Red Soil Wasteland is different.

Less than half a month.

Roger's lettuce, corn, and jerky brought from the Paramount Manor were completely consumed by his underlings.

He had to return to the city to resupply.

This time he didn't bring the gargoyle, and instead wore another human skin mask.

He was a young man who looked somewhat frivolous.

His companion who accompanied him to Sunrise Town was Woodpecker.

This guy leveled up in the Red Soil Wasteland and learned a new skill: Deformation Technique.

At Roger's insistence.

One day later.

Sunrise Town welcomes a new group of Adventurers.

He was a frivolous young man carrying a coffin on his back.

And a petite girl wearing a black lace apron.

The girl had crimson skin, two horns on her forehead, and mesmerizing blue eyes.

Between frowns and smiles.

It has a distinctly exotic feel.

It was afternoon.

Quick Dragon Inn.

Bar counter.

"You want to inquire about ' Aether Dragon Eater '?"

The indifferent bartender, without even lifting his eyelids, replied, "What?"

"You're also interested in that bounty?"

"That's true. After all, the gentlemen on the floating island have been having a headache over this for more than half a year. I heard that the ' Aether Dragon Eater ' have Flooding Disaster there..."
