Wang Zhen buckled on the belt, then attached the holsters to either side of his waist. He slotted the little ammunition cylinders into the holes prepared along the belt, one by one, and finally slid the two Remington 1875 revolvers into their holsters. Then he returned to the shooting range, trying out a few movements as he walked. He made tiny adjustments to the belt and holsters until he could draw and fire with the most comfortable, fluid motion possible!
"Bang, bang, bang..."
"What a pity! Even with my current physical abilities, I still can't draw and hit the target in 0.21 seconds—the record set by Bob Munden in the real world! Looks like I'll have to practice more. Otherwise, I'd be wasting Alucard's physical abilities!" Back at the range, Wang Zhen faced a brand-new metal silhouette target and performed a quick-draw shot, then remarked with some regret.
Wang Zhen wasn't nitpicking. Just as he'd said, an ordinary person could reach that speed—and not just once. That great man had held eighteen world records over the course of his life and won three thousand five hundred trophies! Wang Zhen possessed the bloodline and abilities of Alucard, the Vampire King, which far surpassed those of any ordinary person. If even he couldn't match something a mortal could do with ease, how could he ever hold his own in that crowd?
Wang Zhen began practicing with his gun!
It had to be said: revolvers were perfect for the quick draw!
One word: stylish!
One word: cool!
Two words: stylish and cool!
So Wang Zhen practiced with utter seriousness!
He even propped up several mirrors nearby so he could constantly and carefully check whether his movements looked stylish enough, cool enough, and stylish and cool enough!
After Wang Zhen left that organization of assassins, the talent and nature he'd suppressed for eighteen years began to resurface!
He practiced casually, but his incredible physical abilities made every draw and shot smoother, easier, and more accurate!
0.01 seconds! (Some online sources claimed that Bob Munden's Guinness World Record was 0.0175 seconds.)
After more than a hundred shots, Wang Zhen had cut his quick-draw time down to 0.01 seconds!
With that kind of speed, there was now a perfect answer to Selene's concern that a fifty-round cylinder wouldn't be enough: Wang Zhen tried it out, and fifty rounds really weren't enough.
So Wang Zhen continued studying the Transmutation Circle he'd labeled "Capacity Expansion Technique." His goal was to increase the cylinder's capacity to a hundred rounds!
Selene also continued studying Super God Titanium Alloy Gamma. After all, compared to Plasteel and Ceramite, this transformed titanium alloy was lighter! Wang Zhen could use a Transmutation Circle to break down and recombine these alloys, creating an even better and stronger superalloy!
Using her instruments' immense computing power, Selene quickly analyzed each alloy. She ran endless simulations on the computer, calculating what changes would occur when the alloys were broken down and recombined!
Wang Zhen could do all this with a Transmutation Circle, but Selene could predict the tendencies of the alloys after they were broken down and recombined—in other words, how they would change when fused together!
This guidance would make Wang Zhen's breakdown and recombination much easier. He wouldn't have to test every possible combination one by one!
This time, Selene wanted to make clothing with extremely high defensive strength.
Wang Zhen had specified that it had to look like ordinary clothing, with no sign that he was wearing protective gear. It was an extremely bizarre request. In the real world, anyone who asked for something like that would, at best, be cursed out and, at worst, get beaten black and blue!
That was because in the real world, no material could both stop a 12.7×99 mm BMG machine-gun round and be as thin and light as clothing.
For armor to offer good protection, its thickness and weight were unavoidable. In other words, the better the protection, the thicker and heavier the body armor—with its plates—would be!
But that was the real world. Here, in the Infinite Space, anything was possible! It held a vast ocean of knowledge and countless story worlds inspired by films, television, and anime. There was more room for imagination here than anywhere else, along with an overwhelming wealth of knowledge.
Selene actually felt that this seemingly outrageous, infuriating request was no big deal!
Wang Zhen was still practicing with his gun, but this time he wasn't working on his draw speed. Instead, he was figuring out how to combine the special bullets, each with its own unique properties, to unleash their greatest firepower!
When Wang Zhen emptied another cylinder, he saw Selene pushing a cart like a supermarket shopping trolley, piled high with materials!
"Any progress on the new alloy?" Wang Zhen asked casually.
"Everything's ready. This is my plan for making an alloy out of Super God Titanium Alloy Gamma, Ceramite, and the alien alloy. I think you can use it to try making the ideal armor!"
"Then I'll give it a try!" Wang Zhen didn't hesitate. He holstered both Remington 1875 revolvers, walked over to the cart, and picked out the three alloys Selene had mentioned.
Then Wang Zhen forged another new superalloy. Using the same method, he created a new superalloy and named it Super God Titanium Alloy Omega. This alloy combined the properties of the other alloys and was as thin and light as paper, making it the ideal material for his idea!
Wang Zhen once again broke down and recombined Super God Titanium Alloy Omega with super fibers and other polymers, creating a special material that was both steel alloy and fiber. Then he transmuted more of the special alloy several times. By his estimate, dozens of transmutations would give him enough material to make a set of clothes that met his requirements!
Now that Wang Zhen had fused with Alucard's bloodline, his toughness and other physical traits were absolutely the strongest among those of his level!
So he casually transmuted a modernized denim outfit for himself. It was neither retro nor entirely modern, and it made him look especially rugged and handsome. The baby-faced young man with his delicate features now had an added air of maturity and world-weariness!
And the outfit's defensive strength was extremely high!
Wang Zhen made another set of clothes and put it on a metal silhouette target. Then he drew his gun and fired. Even ordinary bullets, without a Transmutation Circle activated, were stopped by the clothes.
But once he activated the Transmutation Circle, the clothes couldn't hold up. They were easily pierced or burned through, leaving a huge hole. That left Wang Zhen somewhat frustrated.
It seemed that even though these alloy materials had been made through mystical Alchemy, they couldn't withstand attacks from the mystical side without mystical materials added to them!
"This outfit's defensive strength just barely meets my requirements," Wang Zhen murmured, patting his clothes.
