Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Three days later:

Over the past three days, Chen Heng brought the two around the entire Lungmen. Then…

Then the group was no longer interested in sightseeing, as they had already done everything. Honestly speaking, there was nothing else to do in Lungmen. Chen Heng had misplanned.

Before coming to Lungmen, Chen Heng held great expectations of Lungmen. In the end, his expectations dropped by 80 percent after being brought to the Lungmen Guard Department on his first day in Lungmen.

Later on, he saw everything Lungmen had to offer after upgrading his Absolute Precognition. In the end, he could only give Lungmen a barely passing score.

Indeed, this was a chaotic age. The entertainment industry had not developed much.

However, having fun was not the point of coming to Lungmen; Chen Heng had already achieved his primary purpose.

He had gotten 1,800,000 LMD from the transaction with Swire and most of the materials for the third strengthening. The 1,800,000 LMD was enough to let him strengthen the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle twice before that.

Through Wei Yenwu, Chen Heng successfully traded for the restricted materials he needed for the third strengthening, which were unavailable from ordinary merchants.

Chen Heng had only paid with some low-grade medicinal pills. However, in these transactions, everyone got what they needed.

Earlier, Chen Heng had used the materials Kal’tsit sent over using red packets to strengthen the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle twice.

Then, he used the materials Swire and Wei Yenwu sent for the third strengthening to materialize the current situation.

Of course, the association store did not provide strengthening services for free. The first strengthening cost 100 points, the second cost 200 points, and the third cost 400 points.

After using the association’s strengthening service, Chen Heng could now see the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle’s attributes.

Name: Electromagnetic Star Sniper Rifle +3)

Length: 3.1 meters

Bullet Capacity: Infinite bullets

Equipment Abilities:

Railgun: May use electromagnetic-type abilities or electric-type abilities to charge the Electromagnetic Star Sniper Rifle for one shot. The increase in strength depends on the amount of energy charged. This ability has a 30-second cooldown because of overheating. The user can shoot while in the cooldown period, but the user will have to bear the consequences. (Note: As electromagnetic abilities counter spirits, ghosts, and monsters, the bullets gain the same effect.)

Star Sniping Cannon: The larger the lifeform or object this weapon is used on, the more powerful it will be. The magnification in strength is limited to ten times. (This is a passive ability that will increase the rate of durability reduction. Durability can be restored in the association’s store.)

Ship Splitting Bayonet: An energy blade with the lightning attribute extends from below the sniper rifle’s muzzle. The strength and length of the energy bayonet depend on the energy provided. Its maximum length is 40 meters.

Expose Weakness: When using the scope to aim at the opponent, the chances of seeing the opponent’s weakness increase as time passes.

That was the current situation. After the strengthenings, the gun had lengthened by over a meter, and its might had increased several times over. Most importantly, it had gained a few decent abilities. Its appearance had also changed; previously all black, it now sported many purple-blue streaks, looking significantly more gorgeous.

However, these abilities made Chen Heng feel this weapon was somewhat unrealistic, like this was an online game.

In Arknights’s world, this gun was already at the peak. However, Chen Heng only wanted to use this gun for clearing the insignificant minions. When it came to truly fighting, he would do it in person.

Of course, the most important reason was the fourth strengthening’s requiring a lot of materials. Although Chen Heng had enough materials for up to the fifth strengthening, he would have a slight heartache.

Hence, he did not plan on further strengthening the Electromagnetic Star Sniper Rifle.

As for Nightingale and Skadi, Chen Heng had already asked Exusiai to escort them to Rhodes Island, which would happen today.

Initially, Chen Heng wanted to return to Rhodes Island too. However, Exusiai refused. Now, she came looking for him morning and night, making sure he did not leave.

Her timing roughly coincided with her work hours.

It was already the afternoon. Judging from the time, Nightingale and Skadi should have arrived in Rhodes Island.

However, Chen Heng decided to ask Kal’tsit to confirm it.

He Who Knows Fate: Kal’tsit, have Nightingale and Skadi arrived in Rhodes Island?

Kal’tsit: They have returned. After Exusiai sent them here, she delivered the goods and returned straight to Lungmen. She should arrive soon.

Solomon: Based on the question, you did not return with them?

He Who Knows Fate: I wanted to, but Exusiai did not let me. Now, she hounds me morning and night, even more punctual than she is for work. Tell me, why did I get curious and pull off her halo back then?

King Wolffy: @Kal’tsit, I have no way to reverse engineer the recipe of that medicine. It contains many ingredients not available here. The materials you sent me are not complete.

He Who Knows Fate: What’s going on?

Kal’tsit: I purchased another Oripathy medicine. Then I kept half for my research and sent the other half to King Wolffy to attempt to reverse engineer it. It looks like he did not succeed. The medical technologies of the two worlds are too different.

He Who Knows Fate: Speaking of recipes, I remember Yakumo Yukari spent 50,000 points in preparation to beat up Merlin.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: It will take some time before I can beat up Merlin. I found another suitable mission in the past few days, but Merlin snatched it. This Merlin suddenly became very hardworking.

Magus of Flowers: How can I not work hard? Am I to just wait for my death? Miss Yakumo Yukari, can we negotiate? How about you return those materials? Doesn’t the association have a refund function? Although it will result in a 20 percent loss in points, I will compensate for the lost points, alright? A family only flourishes with talent and harmony. An association is the same.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: That’s impossible. It is not over between us. Let me tell you this, Merlin. Keep taking missions if you can, but once I get my hands on a suitable mission, it is over for you. I can fail countless times, but it is over for you if you fail just once.

Efreet: Kurumi is truly frustrating. There is no way to find her main body.

He Who Knows Fate: The story has already reached Tokisaki Kurumi?

[TL Note: Tokisaki Kurumi is from Date A Live. As before, I reordered her name to follow the family name-first name format, as this is a Japanese character; hence, this is the culturally appropriate format. She is the first antagonist Spirit to appear and is a murderous character, killing many people. As a result, she is referred to as the Worst Spirit. Here is more information on her: https://date-a-live.fandom.com/wiki/Kurumi_Tokisaki.]

Efreet: Indeed. She is truly frustrating. If I could fight her head-on, one-on-one, this great me would cut her down with the swing of an ax, not even leaving a single hair behind. However, this girl’s time ability and clones are too much of a cheat.

Lord of the White Night: Speaking of stories, I feel my world story is about to start. Black Rabbit recently told me she was preparing to summon a few talented Gift users using invitations.

[TL Note: Black Rabbit is one of the main protagonists in Mondaiji tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sō Desu yo? or Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They? She is the person responsible for summoning the other protagonists. Here is more information on her: https://mondaiji.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Rabbit.]
