Mystic Arts Firearm

Chen Ji let out a soft breath.

The situation he faced was becoming increasingly complicated!

The key was, what the hell was this [Superpower] he had awakened?

He had no clue at all!

"Forget it."

"I should just ruthlessly harvest a wave of Luck Value."

"It takes 800 points to spin the prize wheel again."

"It takes 1,000 points to upgrade a Blue Entry once."

"There's still a long way to go!"

Chen Ji shook his head.

He now had six Blue Entries, and if he wanted to upgrade all of them—

He would need 6,000 Luck Value!

How long would it take to save that much?

Luckily, he still had the Weird World, this 'private server game'!

Then, carrying the Weird Doll Sugar in his arms, Chen Ji headed beyond the Safe Zone.

During that time, he did not forget to teach Sugar mystic arts.

"Sugar."

"I'm going to teach you magic now."

"Come."

"Memorize this incantation."

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

Then, he softly recited an awkward, complex incantation.

By chanting this ancient incantation, one could summon the Ring of Ragadol, greatly enhancing offensive and defensive capabilities!

This was also the foundation of Mystic Arts Weapons.

Once one mastered the Ring of Ragadol, one had mastered Mystic Arts Weapons!

"Okay!"

"Big brother!"

Sugar raised her eyes, her face full of admiration as she silently committed it to memory.

Before long, she had memorized the awkward incantation.

As a native creature of the Weird World, once she established a connection with it, she was drawing energy from it almost every moment.

Even Chen Ji felt hopelessly outclassed by such talent.

He was simply green with envy!

As for...

Incantations.

In Chen Ji's understanding—

They were equivalent to the startup code of a computer program.

Like voice commands for a smartphone.

No matter the time, space, or dimensional plane, they could receive an instant response.

However...

To successfully cast Secret Art Magic, both the correct incantation and magic power were indispensable. The higher-level the ancient mystic art, the more magic power it consumed!

Simply put—

Magic power was equivalent to mobile data.

And Vishanti, Cyttorak...

These Dimension Demon Gods—

Were essentially cosmic telecommunications providers!

If you did not have the ability to connect to the network—

If you had no data—

You could not unleash incredible Secret Art Magic!

But telecommunications providers were not charities.

Establishing 'data base stations,' maintaining the safety of dimensional planes, and supplying magic power to Mystic Arts Mages all required enormous resources!

Therefore...

That was the essence of Magic Lending.

And by taking possession of the Orb of the Cosmos in advance, Chen Ji had essentially bypassed the providers and launched a satellite of his own!

As Chen Ji's understanding of Secret Art Magic deepened, his magical attainments improved at a rapid pace!

However—

Changes on the material level were still not his specialty, and for the moment, he could not make sense of them.

Fortunately, through the knowledge on Wikipedia, he had already gained a rough understanding of the basic structure of modern firearms, including pistols, rifles, and...

Gatling Guns!

Whoosh!

With a thought from Chen Ji—

A revolver gleaming with purple light appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The revolver had a simple, unadorned design, with a faint crystalline sheen flowing across its surface as it radiated dazzling brilliance.

It barely needed ammunition.

Yet it could fire endlessly!

Because magic power could become bullets!

"Wow!"

"Big brother!"

"Is that a magic pistol?"

Sugar looked utterly dazzled, though a trace of discouragement flashed through her beautiful eyes.

She still had not memorized the incantation for the 'Ring of Ragadol.'

Sugar despised herself for being too stupid!

"That's right."

"Even while big brother was away from here, I didn't slack off."

"Don't rush."

"The cultivation of Secret Art Magic was never something that could be achieved overnight."

Chen Ji rubbed Sugar's little head, a doting expression appearing on his face.

Then he walked forward, gripping the revolver as his lively eyes scanned the surroundings.

All of a sudden—

A piercing, ear-splitting cry rang out!

A strange bird with a half-meter wingspan suddenly appeared overhead. It resembled both an eagle and a crow, and its beak flashed with a black gleam, as though forged from refined iron!

Accompanied by a chilling howl as it tore through the air, it swooped toward Chen Ji!

[Weird Bald Crow]
[Level]: Intermediate Aberration

[Entries]: Eagle Eyesight (White), Swift as Wind (Green), Fatal Strike (Green).

[Eagle Eyesight] (White): He possessed extraordinary vision, allowing him to see extremely far away and perceive danger in advance.

[Swift as Wind] (Green): His flight speed reached Mach 1.

[Fatal Strike] (Green): With his sharp beak and deadly claws, he had a 1% chance of instantly killing his target.

"An instant kill chance of 1%...?!"

"Flight speed as high as Mach 1?"

"340 meters per second?"

"That's insane!"

Chen Ji's heart jolted.

The moment he saw the Weird Bald Crow's Entry Panel, he was completely stunned.

In an instant—

He felt a fierce gust rushing straight at him!

In the blink of an eye, the Weird Bald Crow had charged before him, only about ten meters away from Chen Ji!

Of all martial arts under heaven, nothing was Unbreakable; only speed could not be overcome.

Chen Ji truly experienced that now!

Bang!

Bang bang bang!!

Chen Ji pulled the trigger, and the revolver immediately spewed streams of energy bullets.

The oncoming Weird Bald Crow instantly let out a pained, mournful cry. Large patches of black feathers fell away as it suddenly shot straight upward again!

It retreated directly to a distance of over a hundred meters.

Perching on a crooked-necked tree, its sharp and vicious bird eyes flashed with shock and fury!

"It's not dead?"

Chen Ji's chest tightened.

He had fired an entire round of bullets.

Yet he still had not killed the Weird Bald Crow!

This thing...

Really was [Swift as Wind]!

However, Chen Ji remained calm as hell.

Dignity existed only upon the edge of a blade, and truth existed only within the range of cannons!

If accuracy was lacking, make up for it with firepower!

Chen Ji clenched both hands tightly, mobilizing all the magic power in his body. In his mind, he continuously manifested the outline of an automatic rifle, every structural component incomparably real!

In an instant—

A Magic Rifle appeared before Chen Ji.

It looked remarkably like an M4A1 Carbine!

And all of this was thanks to the [Academic Prodigy] talent!

Total Recall!

No matter what subject it was, he could apply its knowledge with consummate mastery!

This also showed just how terrifying his talent for mystic arts truly was!

And with this move, he had propelled Mystic Arts Weapons straight from the Stone Age into the age of firearms!

Of course—

A Mystic Arts Rifle consumed magic power at an astonishing rate, nearly causing him to collapse from exhaustion on the spot.

However...

Chen Ji had already established a soul connection with the Weird World, and he could also draw upon the Weird World's energy.

Before this, he had been wary of the Ancient One, Vishanti, and the hidden dangers of the Weird World, so he had not recklessly absorbed Cosmic Arcane Energy.

Now, he no longer had that concern!

Whoosh!

A violent tidal torrent of magic power swept toward him.

Chen Ji raised the rifle, his gaze blazing as he stepped forward like an arrow and pulled the trigger with his index finger!

Crack!

He missed!

Crack!

Still missed!

Crack!

The Weird Bald Crow immediately let out a mournful cry, a gruesome hole appearing in its black wing!

Chen Ji gradually got the hang of shooting.

[Academic Prodigy]!

This was a piece of cake!

Bang!

An energy bullet shot from the barrel, tearing through the air and leaving a straight, swift trail behind it.

The Weird Bald Crow's pupils dilated. It flapped its wings desperately in an attempt to flee, but could not evade it no matter what.

The bullet pierced through its skull.

A spray of vivid green blood burst forth!

[Weird Bald Crow killed]
[Luck Value +30]
