Cursed Immortality

After the materials listed by Jacob arrived, he didn't waste more time and got to work.

Making a bullet was easy as well as difficult.

Easy because there are only five parts involved in a typical complete bullet, the cartage casing, the Primer, the projectile, the wad, and the gunpowder.

Difficult because selecting the suitable materials and amount for the aforementioned components and even a tiny mistake can result in either the bullet turning dud or turning it into a small bomb which will blow up your hand or, in some rare cases, the face!

In Silver Death's case, the Gun was completely capable of firing a Basic Type-1 bullet, even an Intermediate Type-1 bullet. In the former case, the Gun will have a long life period, while in the latter, it will only last for four or five rounds, just like the very first titan sniper rifle Jacob had ever made.

That's why it was so important to have perfect ammunition for a firearm, and it was the gunsmith's responsibility to make it happen.

After getting Rita's permission, Jacob started to use the equipment available in the workshop while Rita followed him like a ghost as she observed his every movement.

Those judges were also paying close attention to him without speaking.

Jacob first made the projectile with a basic type-1 material called the Lava Gem Stone and then the case with another type-1 material called the Cold Hack Metal.

However, the Primer and wad were made with intermediate-type-1 materials which somewhat made Rita frown because the combination was simply not going to work because the bullet might blow up before it could fire.

Furthermore, she also noticed the Primer created by Jacob was somewhat special since it didn't look like a typical primer she was familiar with. Still, she didn't disturb him and only watched.

In half an hour, Jacob had already made the four components, and what was only left was the gunpowder which was going to be the real factor.

For safety's sake as well as to not divulge his own formula, he asked those judges to leave the room and let Rita observe him.

Lawrence only snorted in disdain but left, as well as the other three, without raising any fuss.

They all knew just how dangerous making type-1 gunpowder was, and since Rita herself wasn't able to, they were quite assured that there wasn't any chance of cheating as well.

However, when only Rita and Jacob were left in the workshop, he stopped what he was doing and looked at Rita.

He asked, "What do you think about my previous proposal?"

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Rita narrowed her eyes as she looked at this mysterious fellow. She couldn't help but remember their early secret discussion.

Jacob had asked, "I can give you the Basic-Type-1 Gunpowder Formula, and I only need a small favor."

Rita was in disbelief at that moment, but from his tone, Jacob didn't seem to be joking, and she knew just how expensive that formula was, so she still decided to take her chances since it would become apparent in this test.

She replied by only moving her lips, "What kind of favor?"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Jacob simply replied, "I need access to the Magic Smith facility in this building for one month. Think about it. You can reply to me when I was going to formulate the gunpowder!"

Afterward, everything went normal until it reached this point.

If Rita was doubtful before, now she wasn't after she saw Jacob's efficiency in making all four components in half an hour.

Those four judges were only here to judge while they had no idea about Gunsmithing. That's why Rita was the invigilator, and she knew even she might not be able to handle those Basic-Type-1 materials as well as Jacob did.

So, now she was curious about why Jacob needed access to the Magic Smith facility. But one thing was quite clear. This man wasn't simple at all, so it was better to be friends with him than obstruct his way.

Besides, he was already offering her something irresistible.

"Can you tell me why you need to use Magic Smith Facility? Although there are floors with Magic Smith Facility. But they are still under the control of Senior Braylon.

"Despite the fact that he didn't live here anymore, he still has full control over those floors through his old apprentices. I have a good relationship with Senior Braylon's apprentices, so I can get you access, but I need to know if you're doing anything that put my own reputation at risk." Rita candidly explained.

Jacob coolly said, "You don't have to worry about it. I know my limit. I just need the equipment in that facility, nothing else. Likewise, I'm not experimenting with Magic Smiting."

Rita looked deeply at Jacob, but no matter what, she couldn't see through his intentions.

In the end, she gave up and bitterly said, "As long as you uphold your deal, I will uphold mine."

'It was far easier than I thought. This woman naturally knows how to flaunt her charm, so making a deal with her was the better option than those old men. Besides, in one month, even if someone finds out about me using the magic smith facility, even this Braylon guy…' Jacob's lips curled up into a devious smile.

Without wasting more time, Jacob got to work. He started to handle the chemicals while he also explained to Rita how to mix them and how much she needed to mix for one bullet.

Rita solemnly listened as she was also recording the entire process. Of course, she got Jacob's permission to record it.

Over an hour passed, and it was only because Jacob explained to Rita he would've done it much faster. There was now inky black sand like gunpowder was resting within a small vial.

Rita mumbled in disbelief, "Is this really a Basic Type-1 gunpowder? It was too…too easy!"

Jacob scoffed, "You were simply looking at it in the wrong direction. You were probably focusing on increasing its might and ignoring the fact about how to subdue that might."

He didn't bother to explain any further and started to assemble the bullet, which was glittering golden when it was done, a perfect match for Silver Killer.

Jacob placed the bullet on the table and coolly said, "This bullet is called Friction Killer. Now you can call those Judges and test it yourself!"

Rita's eyes were affixed on the golden bullet as if she couldn't wait to test it!
