Enjoying Myself a Little-What's Wrong with That?

The gunsmith, who had spent the first half of his life always mindful of potential dangers, now seemed to have finally received the golden touch to a legendary life.

"Bro! You've got a cheat code!"

"Fragrant Dream drew Cupid's bow," Jiang Xueming said, and after that, she fell into a state of mental confusion, a mixture of joy and sorrow.

It was as if he had returned to ten years ago, back to that shooting range.

Having just finished his mission at Fang Feng, he received instructions from 9527 to conduct a full set of shooting tests with the M1911. It was at this time that he received the order.

He would worry, overthink, and become confused by the results of the Polarized Sextant inspection.

Is this situation good or bad? What do these inexplicable signs mean?

He's taming his limbs? After gaining psychic powers, he needs to maintain mental focus. Where did this extraordinary archery skill come from?

Now that Fragrant Dream suddenly possesses the power of Kang Que Connor's love, which can alter gravity—re-examining the origins of this superpower from all angles gives Gunsmith a sense of uneasy yet ecstatic accomplishment.

During these long and brilliant ten years, Fragrant Dream's abilities had significant limitations for Jiang Xueming.

People may only see the glamorous side of the nameless leader, but they don't know that during the arduous expedition, the main factor in overcoming difficulties was definitely not Jiang Xueming's soul power—it might even have been a hindrance.

[Sweet Fragrant Dream] has many advantages, but also many disadvantages. However, for Xue Ming, SD is not a panacea, nor is it like any spirit or soul power she has encountered in her life. It is too easily replaceable and has almost no functionality.

Its destructive power can be replaced by modern weapons and engineering equipment.

Its range is pitifully short; one can simply ride an electric bike at a speed of forty kilometers per hour, constantly turning and weaving through the backstreets and alleys, and avoid a fatal attack. Even a gunsmith running his legs off couldn't catch up—nor could even the Fragrant Dream of nature.

It frequently experiences severe and sudden power outages, creating hilarious and absurd comedic effects. For example, if Xue Ming were to touch a stone, it could trigger a sudden activation of its hypnotic abilities—the surface of the stone would gather slow-moving life forms with their own dormant habits, and the gunsmith's mana would be in grave danger.

As for the precision data, given the gunsmith's hand-eye coordination, he can do anything that Fragrant Dream can do—whether it's manufacturing and assembling equipment, or picking locks, opening doors, weaving clothes, or exercising. The gunsmith loves labor, but if Steel Cat can achieve 60 points, he will never do 61.

Finally, there's the growth potential. In the psionic research report from the special tea room, Fragrant Dream has a very high growth attribute. It possesses a mind similar to that of a human, with intelligence roughly equivalent to that of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child. It can perform simple arithmetic operations and also complete language logic tests.

However, Jiang Xueming didn't consider "growth potential" a positive term.

For a man in his mid-twenties, his enemies wouldn't wait for him to grow up, nor would they systematically give him experience boosts while watching his soul power gradually increase.

The grand prize that opened the conquest of the Madness Butterfly Sect was the Wings of Light, one of the most powerful warriors under the command of the Immortals, and also the owner of the Cupid's Great Bow— Kang Que.

If a combat power rating must be assigned, Johnny's fighting skills are almost at the pinnacle of the Guiyi Sect. Another, slightly stronger enemy is Mary Stuart, who has lived for over four hundred years and has been studying the ultimate art of rapier combat since the Middle Ages. This woman's soul power can modify her physical form, and she has a unique understanding of cold weapons. Without Uncle Jack's help and Katusha's phantom sniper rifle, in a melee combat scenario, it wouldn't be difficult for this vampire to kill the War King if he was determined.

Fragrant Dream's various stats are superior to [Regret Pill]. Jiang Xueming can draw a rough conclusion from this: the majority of the spirit's advantages come from the BOSS's essence—it is the BOSS that makes it slightly more useful, rather than a strange superpower that only allows people to fall asleep peacefully.

In reality, [Fragrant Dream] rarely uses his Soul Power trait to subdue enemies. No matter how strong Xue Ming's spiritual essence is, he is still just a weak Homo sapiens - his spiritual energy is almost useless against huge monster units and Blood-giving Monster.

Previously, when dealing with DB (Divine Bloodline - Mountain Giant), even Fragrant Dream couldn't lull this thing to sleep.

The main method of attacking and defeating the enemy used to be knightly combat techniques that disregarded martial ethics, but now it's a combination of knightly combat techniques with extremely high burst damage. Pankrasin's superpower of Fragrant Dream has become invisible.

According to the classification of psionic soldiers established by the Gunsmith, the most suitable role for the Fragrant Dream chapter is actually a medical unit or a logistics unit.

In most cases, Xue Ming uses Fragrant Dream as a second set of armor. When she cannot wear the Flash Butterfly Armor Robe, it becomes a set of spiritual armor to protect her internal organs and bones, often attached to the surface of her body.

During his journey through Shinto City, the gunsmith used Fragrant Dream as a sandblasting machine, utilizing the properties of compressed air to cut enemies. This technique was extremely destructive but also highly unstable. Later, influenced by the Soul Power of the Gale Ninja, the gunsmith lived up to expectations and successfully Gate of Death himself.

After that, Jiang Xueming dared not easily use the spirit form of engineering equipment to deal with enemies, except when he used this move to finish off Pellegrini Tuan—now there was a better option, Pankrasin.

A small number of people know the true power of [Fragrant Dream]. Several disciples and comrades have been hypnotized and controlled by Fragrant Dream. For those still struggling in the world, the dream realm is a haven for the soul, a hot spring for relaxation, and even a place to learn the knowledge of gunsmiths. Those hypnotized by the dream can be reborn and overcome their inner demons.

It's more like a mother's milk, healing emotional wounds and helping people face their lives more rationally.

However, Jiang Xueming is a member of a violent organization, and this kind of spiritual power is unlikely to be of much help in a hot war environment.

It cannot completely obey its master's will and requires verbal commands. It possesses exceptional speed and destructive power, but how to start and stop requires astonishing eyesight and reflexes to ensure that the Soul Power appears in the right place and does the right thing, which is a challenge in itself.

In most cases, psychological damage is more effective against gunsmiths. Since the body can be healed with Universal Elixir, the gunsmith's healing speed is incredibly fast, and the Fragrant Dream become a weakness that brings about Gate of Death effect.

Those who knew these secrets suddenly realized—the powerful one was never the Fragrant Dream, but the gunsmith himself.

At this moment, when Jiang Xueming saw the golden bow of [Subversive· Heaven and Earth Turning], aside from a little bit of wariness, all he felt was surprise.

If he could truly master the application of Cupid's Bow and Arrow, then the only weakness that had been troubling him would gradually disappear. Fragrant Dream would finally have a little bit of "functionality," a little bit of "functionality" that modern armies repeatedly emphasize in their requirements for soldiers.

Faced with increasingly complex combat conditions, lethality has become less important. Soldiers need to learn driving, communications, cryptography, and geography. The more skills a soldier has, the better he can adapt to the harsh environment of modern warfare. Tasks that originally required a squad can now be accomplished by a three-person team, or by a highly skilled psionicist, and can include long marches, bomb disposal, and hostage rescue missions, all of which can be completed flawlessly.

They can perform multiple roles, possessing skills in disguise and intelligence gathering on local customs, handling various tasks, and dealing with explosives, thus demonstrating combat capability. This highlights the importance of lateral expansion capabilities—fewer people mean less need for supplies, and the costs of maintaining secrecy and the risk of exposure gradually decrease. Commanders will have increasingly richer tactical options and a larger pool of available troops.

Fragrant Dream pulled out Kang Que's Great Bow, Jiang Xueming suddenly felt as if his old father could finally retire in peace and breathe a sigh of relief.

Because he had fantasized about it countless times in his mind--

He had considered countless possibilities, including when facing these enemies with surging psionic energy and unpredictable spiritual power.

If I were Kang Que, how would I use the [Heaven and Earth Turning] superpower to annihilate my enemies?

If I were Lawrence, how would I use the Heaven's Gate?

If I possessed these Soul Power superpowers, how could I kill the Gunsmith without fail?

This process of working backward to determine tactical resources is categorized into two main types in the Knight Combat Skills course: [Number] and [Courtesy]. It is a crucial factor in creating combat conditions and determining the combat environment.

In the eyes of gunsmiths, the tactical significance of [Heaven and Earth Turning] far outweighs the inexplicable hypnotic function of Fragrant Dream.

In contrast, the activation conditions for [Subversive· Heaven and Earth Turning]-- Fragrant Dream are extremely demanding. He must personally contact the enemy and touch them with his hands to defeat them, and it doesn't end the match on the spot. He has to risk overdrawing his mental energy in exchange for a forced hypnotic dream. If the enemy has the rare attribute of "sleepwalking," this sleep is a complete waste.

Cupid's golden arrow can reverse gravity, while his leaden arrow can double it.

All of this is based on the simple condition of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow. As long as the arrow hits the target, with Fragrant Dream's archery skills and Jiang Xueming's hand-eye coordination to guide the shot, just understanding these things is enough to make Night Demon grin from ear to ear.

"What are you laughing at?" Fragrant Dream didn't quite understand; it couldn't decipher the smile on Xue Ming's face.

Jiang Xueming: "I was just thinking about happy things."

Steel Cat said worriedly, "What's going on, bro? This thing just suddenly appeared. Could that dead transvestite from Eureka Volcano City have also come out?"

Mr. Kang Que was handsome, with delicate features and a head of beautiful white curly hair.

--In Fragrant Dream's eyes, he was a dead transvestite, composed of the three elements of death, human, and demon.

Fragrant Dream's concerns were indeed valid, and Jiang Xueming was also worried about this.

The amorphous substance seems to have become a bridge. It not only transformed SD's spirit body, but after [Unlock], this amorphous armor opened the gates of hell, allowing the prisoners in the dream world to fully display their soul power and talents through this small window.

Before activating this ability, Fragrant Dream needs to press and turn the lock disc 180 degrees. This ritual takes at least 1,300 milliseconds. Each ratchet engagement cannot be skipped, and each ratchet sound will gradually emerge from the lock cylinder according to the unlocking procedure.

One point and three seconds, which is also the time required to cast the [Unlock] spell.

Leaving aside its benefits, and regardless of its functionality.

Will the Fragrant Dream spirit absorb more sub-metallic matter? Will this window open wider and wider?

One day, these demons and monsters imprisoned in the Dream Realm will suddenly return to the human world, and will once again stir up a bloody storm—my dear Ming De once explained the meaning of the Dream Realm to Xue Ming in detail.

Fragrant Dream is a fierce tiger that constantly absorbs the spirits of demons, rendering these monsters unable to respond to the call and guidance of the material plane. As a result, the demons raised by the demon lord will never have a chance to rise again, and they will have no master to protect them.

John Borg, Pher Grey Butterfly born of the Hand of Omnipotence, can be summoned through cult rituals performed with blood sacrifices, and can return from the Spirit Realm to the material plane.

However, the demons and monsters captured by the Dream Realm are not entitled to enjoy a second blessing. They can no longer become Pher Grey Butterfly; they cannot die again and again, nor can they be reborn again.

Both Professor Luka and the Boss have said --

The gunsmith's body is a cage.

The prisoners held in the cage could not escape until he died of natural causes.

If the gunsmith truly dies of old age, the BOSS will hold another harvest season ceremony, swallowing Jiang Xueming's body to recycle a large amount of garbage from the Dreamland—which is also why the BOSS pretended to swallow a can of goat milk powder at the gunsmith's funeral.

But now that Brother Kang Que's bow and arrows have suddenly appeared, this has become Xue Ming's concern.

However, he didn't worry for long; he never let worries linger in his mind.

Let's go.

Fragrant Dream asked in confusion, "Should we just ignore it?"

Jiang Xueming: "The most urgent task is to get rid of Judas. As for the lock on your chest, there are always more solutions than problems."

"Hey! My big brother!" The big cat whispered behind Xue Ming, "If we keep going like this, won't there be problems? Doesn't great power always come at a price?"

"I've worked so hard to get you perfect attendance records," Jiang Xueming muttered under his breath. "You've been living in fear and anxiety for so many years, risking your life for so long. What's wrong with me enjoying myself a little? Give me the bow, I'll try shooting a couple more arrows."

Fragrant Dream reluctantly handed the great bow to its true form.

Jiang Xueming touched the magnetic storm mass. To those without spiritual Inspiration, he appeared to be holding up a ball of "air" and grabbing two arrows from Fragrant Dream's chest.

The first arrow struck the stream on the riverbank, and a panicked sockeye salmon leaped out of the water. It kept blowing bubbles and struggling to get back into the water, gradually becoming suffocated.

At a distance of more than twenty meters, on a target no bigger than an A4 sheet of paper, the gunsmith took out a lead arrow and shot again.

The moment it was hit by the arrow, the sockeye salmon regained its natural gravity and fell back into the water.

Fragrant Dream scratched its head. "It doesn't seem very useful. I'm much more powerful than it!"

Without explaining anything, the gunsmith swiftly pulled the arrow from the keyhole in Fragrant Dream's chest.

He fired in rapid succession, the speed of his shots and the speed of his arrows were astonishing, and the sound of them hitting the water was like a barrage of firecrackers.

Six large sockeye salmon, migrating back to spawn, floated on the surface of the water. Because the gunsmith had arranged the order of firing the gold and lead arrows, these fish happened to remain still above the water, floating three or four meters in the air.

"Interesting." Fragrant Dream squinted, carefully observing the floating postures of the fish.

The gunsmith continued to draw his bow, but changed his finger technique, the timing of releasing the string, and the target.

Lead arrows and gold arrows were used to hit the salmon in different orders, hitting them at the head and tail.

The two forces of gravity, downwards and upwards, naturally altered their posture.

--The victim fish closest to the riverbank began to spin rapidly!

Soon its rotation speed exceeded 4,000 per minute. Like a piece of meat caught in a centrifuge, its muscles shattered and its bones broke apart. In the increasingly rapid rotation, it turned into a bloody, pinkish pulp, splitting into two fragmented wisps of red mist, one floating upwards and the other falling into the river.

Other sockeye salmon die in even stranger ways. Some sink into the water and begin to spin, becoming like a drill in the shallow stream, creating a whirlpool four or five meters wide, with victims from the migrating school of fish constantly being squeezed into this bright red meat grinder.

Some fish were hit by sixteen arrows, twelve of which were gold and four were lead.

The sturdy dorsal and caudal fins became the instruments of torture, securing the noose. The lead arrows driven into the gills and bladder of the fish became the natural force of gravity that carried out the hanging—the fish was suspended in mid-air, its head and body separated, its intestines and belly turned inside out and completely exposed.

"Ugh!~" Fragrant Dream felt a chill run down her spine. "You're such a pervert!"

The gunsmith also looked shaken; to be honest, he was terrified.

If Kang Que Connor's marksmanship were good enough to use [Heaven and Earth Turning] against him seven years ago, perhaps the deaths of these sockeye salmon would have been his tragic end.

Fragrant Dream, kind-hearted, couldn't bear to see her elder brother's cruelty towards food, so she quickly reversed the lock plate, causing the great bow to disappear instantly, and the strange gravity created by [Subversive· Heaven and Earth Turning] returned to normal.

"Hey! I'm not used to it yet!" Jiang Xueming pleaded with Hunwei, "Let me try a few more times? Let me try again? I'm going to kill Judas in a few hours."

"Bro! Please!"

Fragrant Dream, looking disgusted, executed the [Unlock] procedure once again.

After the lock plate was reversed, Xue Ming reached for the bow, but found nothing.

"What's going on?" he asked, staring at the golden armor with suspicion.

Fragrant Dream speculated, "Are you tired? Is it no longer effective?"

Jiang Xueming: "No, I'm in good spirits."

Fragrant Dream asked, puzzled, "Why isn't it working?"

"Try throwing a punch?" Jiang Xueming recalled that just now, when Fragrant Dream first used the Golden Arrow's ability, it was also activated through her fist.

"What do you want me to fight? Let me make it clear first, I won't mess with the food!" Fragrant Dream rubbed her hands together, eager to try.

Jiang Xueming: "Hit this tree."

"Alright!" Fragrant Dream lightly clenched her fist.

It didn't intend to smash the old banyan tree on the riverbank; it just let its fist make slight contact with the bark.

The storm quickly coalesced into a raging cyclone, and the violent spiral airflow cut horizontally through the main trunk of the banyan tree. Like an invisible and intangible drill, it tore the bark layer by layer by its brute force, leaving a hole the size of a football!

Jiang Xueming was quite surprised. "[Storm Eye Of The Storm]?"

This psionic trait comes from Stormhawk, from Pellegrini Tuan.

Fragrant Dream Goes Crazy --

"--Why is there a random lottery included?!"
