[Congratulations to challenger Lin Xiaoran for opening an A-rank treasure chest and obtaining an A-rank weapon: the Gravitational Beam Emitter!] [A-rank Gravitational Beam Emitter: anything with mass can be penetrated and its matter disintegrated. Nothing can withstand it.] [National fortune supplies returned ten thousandfold. Deployment of ten thousand A-rank Gravitational Beam Emitters has begun! As these supplies fall under high-tech weaponry, they have been designated for deployment to Country L's National Fortune Survival Game Analysis and Defense Countermeasures Bureau!]
Lin Xiaoran looked in surprise at the pitch-black Gravitational Beam Emitter in her hand, no larger than an ordinary handgun. "It's actually a weapon supply?"
And judging by its description, this gun seemed especially powerful!
[Gravitational Beam Emitter? What kind of weapon is that? Does it fire gravity or beams?]
[It came out of an A-rank treasure chest, so it must be really powerful, right?]
[Not necessarily. The gun looks pretty ordinary in size.]
[What a shame! These supplies have a designated deployment location!]
[This is Country L. What if they landed in the hands of people with bad intentions and caused an incident?]
The National Fortune Analysis Bureau.
As the National Fortune Game deployed the supplies, ten thousand small boxes containing Gravitational Beam Emitters appeared in the open space outside the office building, filling it to the brim.
Jiang Jiayou, Che Yisi, Han Wenju, and several others hurried outside.
By the time they arrived, the soldiers stationed at the National Fortune Bureau to protect them had already cordoned off the area. These were high-tech weapons, after all, and ordinary people could not touch them at will. An accidental discharge that injured a colleague would be bad news.
"Director Jiang, our captain is on his way," a soldier said, stopping Jiang Jiayou and the others.
"Understood. I'm just here to take a look."
Although Jiang Jiayou was the director of the National Fortune Bureau, his was a civilian administrative position. The military would certainly take charge of managing and handling the weapons deployed this time. As for the subsequent arrangements, Jiang Jiayou would, at most, have the right to be informed.
Most importantly, these had come from an A-rank ferocious beast's lair. Their quality went without saying, and their power was bound to be astonishing!
So even though Jiang Jiayou was already rubbing his hands in excitement, he could not go over and open a box to inspect it.
"I'm here! Nobody's touched them, right?"
A steady, powerful shout, deep and forceful, came from afar.
Jiang Jiayou and the others turned to see Chang Jian, the military captain stationed here, running over.
Chang Jian was tall and burly, a full 185 centimeters, with bulging muscles beneath his camouflage uniform. He wore a military cap and had slightly dark skin, and his strides were quick and steady.
At that moment, his dark eyes shone just as brightly as those of Jiang Jiayou and the others!
"Reporting, Captain! Nobody's touched them!" the soldier reported loudly with a salute.
"Good, good! Director Jiang, you're here too?" Chang Jian greeted Jiang Jiayou and the others.
Jiang Jiayou nodded. "Yes, we came to take a look!"
Chang Jian looked at the boxes piled in the open space. "The military has already sent people over. We just need to guard them."
Unable to contain his curiosity, Che Yisi asked, "Can't we open one and take a look first?"
Chang Jian shook his head. "No! These weapons are very dangerous!"
Jiang Jiayou sighed regretfully. "What a shame."
Suddenly, Han Wenju spoke up. "Director Jiang, look at the livestream! Student Lin is about to test her new weapon!"
"Oh?!"
Jiang Jiayou, Che Yisi, and Chang Jian beside them quickly opened their light screens. Only the surrounding soldiers had to suppress their curiosity and continue holding their posts.
On the livestream.
Lin Xiaoran and Yixiao had long since flown far away from the crater and stopped for a short rest.
Lin Xiaoran fiddled with the Gravitational Beam Emitter in her hand. As a science student in her previous life, she had also been something of a military enthusiast. One of her greatest hobbies had been playing online war games, so faced with this temptation, she simply could not resist wanting to test the gun's power.
Fortunately, the gun's operating instructions had come out of the chest too. Lin Xiaoran only needed to follow the steps.
Yixiao beside her was also very curious about the weapon's power and silently sensed Lin Xiaoran's movements.
To be safe, Lin Xiaoran held the handgun with both hands, spread her feet slightly with one in front of the other, and kept her arms aligned straight with the gun. Without choosing a direction, she simply pulled the trigger facing straight ahead.
Bang!
The muzzle glimmered, and a red beam suddenly burst forth, slicing through space and piercing the thick fog. In an instant, it punched through every building along nearly three kilometers!
As the beam erupted, the visible area within the fog expanded as well, allowing every viewer to see the terrifying power of that shot clearly!
But it was not over yet!
After the metal and concrete structures were all pierced through, violent explosions followed!
Whatever the building, whatever the object, anything with mass was destroyed and melted beneath the gun's red beam! Everything was razed to the ground!
"So powerful!" Even Yixiao was shaken!
It was clearly just a small handgun, yet it possessed destructive power on par with a Devil Fruit User!
Or rather, if someone had this gun out on the seas, even an Admiral would very likely die outright from a single hit!
In particular, Yixiao sensed something very strange about the gun's beam. It seemed possible that even Armament Haki or Conqueror's Haki coating could not stop it from penetrating!
After all, Armament Haki trained to its pinnacle could withstand the slash of a great swordsman!
Not to mention the tales that had long circulated across the seas about Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors. His defenses already stood at the pinnacle of the seas, and he could emerge unscathed even after jumping from high in the sky.
Yet Yixiao felt that even Kaido might not be able to defend against this shot!
Its penetrating power was simply too great!
[Hiss!]
[Wait, this tiny gun is that terrifyingly powerful?!]
[An A-rank weapon, all right! That's so freaking cool!]
[With that kind of destructive power, I'd believe you if you said one shot could insta-kill an A-rank ferocious beast!]
[Haha! Great! Let's see who still dares provoke Country L now! Come on over if you're not afraid to die! We'll blow you apart with one shot!]
Country L's viewers were all so excited that they nearly jumped up on the spot!
As for the viewers from other countries?
There was no need to ask. The moment they saw the overwhelming power of this A-rank weapon, their faces had already fallen.
Sure, this gun was still some way behind missiles, mushroom bombs, and the like, but it was so small and easy to carry!
If a small-scale battle really broke out, this gun would practically be a divine weapon!
No one would question calling it the mushroom bomb of small arms!
Viewers from other countries:
[Aaah! Why is Lin Xiaoran so lucky?!]
[Damn it! Country L is going to get stronger again!]
[Is there really no one who can stop Country L's rise?! At this rate, with the national fortune rewards after the game ends added in, Country L will leave us far behind!]
[Don't panic! Surely the rewards can't all be weapons?!]
[Even if they aren't weapons, even if they're supplies or health and lifespan rewards, we still won't be able to catch up easily! Don't forget, the yearly natural and man-made disasters haven't decreased just because the National Fortune Game appeared!]
[Exactly! Even a reward that eliminates all natural disasters in Country L would give them enough time to develop and grow! Their national strength will only keep increasing!]
[I have just one question! Country L, is this weapon for sale?! We're willing to pay!]
