"Although it's not a Yuan Force item, it's still pretty good, truly Inner City quality."
Tao Yu looked at the multifunctional rifle with a sci-fi feel in his hand and was full of admiration. The next morning, Master Jin showed up at his doorstep with sincerity.
AT200, that was the model of the gun, which aesthetically was sowhat boxy and felt a bit bulky, yet the edges had a streamlined feel to them.
It was equipped with two magazines, AP (Armor-Piercing) rounds and HE (High Explosive) rounds.
Each magazine contained fifty AP rounds and ten mini-grenades.
The key point was the high range of the bullets used. The effective range of the AP rounds could reach 800 ters, and they were extrely precise. With a scope attached, it could be used as a sniper rifle and was also capable of rapid fire.
The mini-grenades could reach a range of two hundred ters.
The main feature was its comprehensive functionality.
It could be said to be quite suitable as a primary weapon for a multifunctional rifle.
"The Warlord's Sidearm is enough for a pistol, this one is a good complent."
Tao Yu mounted a scope, lifted the rifle, and aid it swiftly a few tis, finding it very smooth to use.
The downside was that AP rounds cost 3 Yuan Force points each, and HE rounds cost 10 Yuan Force points each.
Definitely unnecessary for clearing out zombies.
At this point, the advantage of the Warlord's Sidearm's ability to slowly recover air bullets beca evident.
Besides, Tao Yu also had a set of Yuan Force absorption skills in front of him, which could be added to twenty bullets. However, Tao Yu guessed that absorbing ten would be enough for him.
Each bullet carried about 10 points of Yuan Force, and after absorption, he gained an "Intuitive Shooting."
"Intuitive Shooting" lv1: Allows for high-accuracy attacks based on feeling. The higher the basic shooting skill and ntal strength, the better the effect.
Without a doubt, this was a shooting skill with Yuan Force characteristics that had a very good assisting effect and was highly practical.
The Deification cost was also not expensive, just over a hundred.
Tao Yu did not hesitate to complete the Deification!
"Intuitive Shooting - Modified" lv1: Can discern the best shooting spots on the enemy, and can attach ntal strength to the bullet (stackable).
Similar to the Deification of Basic Shooting, but with an additional ability to discern the best shooting points, and that instinctive feeling when shooting was also enhanced.
Although Tao Yu had not actively trained much in shooting abilities.
But with his talent and the boost from this new skill, he reckoned he could now be comparable to a Pioneer with high talent specialized in shooting abilities!
"No wonder they say 'Dynamic Vision' develops quickly; a good gun combined with a few skills can easily do explosive damage and turn into a mobile artillery."
What followed was a magnetic card worth five thousand Yuan Force points.
"Better than nothing."
Tao Yu raised his hand to absorb the Yuan Force from the magnetic card and after confirming his gains, he also spoke to Master Jin who had co to deliver the goods,
"I've received the goods, Master Jin, you may go back now. Recently you're clashing with the Skull Gang, so you should be cautious. I'm going to practice my shooting skills and get familiar with the firearms."
The tall Master Jin showed a relaxed smile and said,
"From now on, Brother Tao Yu is one of us. Don't worry, we are the ones on the offensive against the Skull Gang. Young Master Wino has been overseeing us here lately."
"Oh, I see. With Brother Wino here, there's indeed nothing to worry about."
Tao Yu waved cheerily and watched Master Jin leave.
"If every enemy I face sohow gets exterminated without a trace, wouldn't that be too obvious? Guesses don't need evidence after all..."
Tao Yu leaned against the door, pondering as he watched Master Jin's retreating figure.
It seed there weren't any major issues at the mont. The Li family got wiped out due to the secret of the Blood Orchid by their partners; what did that have to do with a pitiful, weak, and helpless individual from the Outer City?
The Wild Wolf Gang and Wino forced the Skull Gang into a corner, and that had nothing to do with him either. He was their collaborator, their partner...
"Today, I'll practice ditation. The improvent is quite noticeable now."
Yesterday, Tao Yu went to hand in a task and encountered so matters, so he went to the practice field. Now, in terms of actual efficiency, it was the ditation Technique he had just acquired that yielded higher results.
It increased the speed of ntal recovery, and combined with the Concentration Necklace, he could extend the duration of his Shadow Evasion, saving money...
...
Looking at the motorcycle in the room and the roughly reassembled simple bedding, Tao Yu felt that it was ti to renovate his ho.
Nonetheless, he directly sat cross-legged on the bed and began his practice of the ditation Technique.
"Once I get proficient, I should be able to do ditation Technique and Breathing Technique together. Although it consus more Yuan Force, it saves ti..."
With these thoughts in mind, Tao Yu also visualized the Visualization Diagram in his head.
With the concentration of spiritual power, Tao Yu successfully subdued the scattered thoughts with the Visualization Diagram and achieved the unification of will. Then, using his thoughts as a hamr, he constantly polished his spiritual power.
It was as if a grating 'screech' echoed in his mind, with spiritual power continuously being squeezed, forged, and ground by his thoughts—thoughts acting like gears, and spiritual power like lubricant mixed with sand.
With each pass, it was purified once more.
As he had just begun practicing the ditation Technique and coupled with the consumption of over a hundred Yuan Force every hour, Tao Yu fully experienced a period of explosive enhancent similar to when he first learned the Breathing Technique.
It even made him irresistibly adjust the Yuan Force acceleration to two hundred!
The feeling that each grinding removed the dust from the mirror, clearing his mind further, made Tao Yu reluctant to stop.
"Truly, this is a power that transcends the ordinary!"
Ti imperceptibly passed, and by the ti Tao Yu opened his eyes, the sky had already started to dim.
Since he had arranged not to be disturbed by his family, Tao Yu's practice went smoothly.
His mind had never been as clear as it was at that mont.
However, as Tao Yu finished his practice, a sudden sense of weakness spread through his body, nearly making his vision black out.
Fortunately, his [ntal Immunity] completely stabilized against this backlash.
When Tao Yu looked down, he was horrified to discover that his once strong body was now emaciated, as if it was rely skin and bones!
"What's this..."
Tao Yu was dismayed. With [One Proof Forever Proof], he could nearly exert his full strength as long as he had the stamina, and this was the first ti he had felt such weakness.
It felt as though his stamina was almost depleted, and he would collapse right there on the spot!
If it wasn't for his second Deification of the Breathing Technique, which drew in Free Energy to sustain the last bit of energy, he would have been immobilized by now.
Then Tao Yu rembered the words Sun Shiyu had reminded him when she first taught him,
"Spiritual energy is nourished by Qi-Blood. You've already grasped Qi-Blood which can have an auxiliary effect, but be careful not to overdo it. Though, at your current level, you don't need to worry about that..."
Afterward, Tao Yu endured the soreness in his body and first used a hundred Yuan Force for a certain amount of replenishnt, sowhat reviving his energy like a stream of living water.
Then, relying on the stamina of [One Proof Forever Proof], he directly took out two tubes of Nutrient Paste and squeezed them into his mouth, digesting them swiftly.
With the Nutrient Paste supplenting him, Tao Yu began to feel warmth in his body again and his Qi-Blood started to recover.
Once his body had improved slightly, he consud all the Qi Replenishing Pills he had bought the day before and initiated the [Swallowing Essence Skill] to digest them quickly using his Qi-Blood.
"I almost had to use Yuan Force for a direct recovery!"
Tao Yu felt the [Swallowing Essence Skill] rapidly absorbing the potency of the Qi Replenishing Pills, swiftly refilling and repairing his body, and he let out a slight sigh of relief.
His training effect was too strong!
The usual ditation Technique was still manageable, but after his own Deification process and with the acceleration of two hundred every hour, coupled with the increased explosive period, a day's training nearly drained him completely!
His lack of experience and the rapid enhancent of his spiritual side led to his deep involvent, causing him to neglect his body.
But luckily, he could redy it with Yuan Force and food, otherwise, it would have been really awkward.
"This must be due to the initial improvent window period, but the effect is indeed strong!"
A gleam seed to shine in Tao Yu's eyes, and his body slowly but continuously swelled up with vitality.
Then he raised his finger and plucked a strand of hair to place it in front of his eyes.
As he let go, the strand of hair simply floated in the air, no longer falling!
"Unfortunately, this is just a passive effect brought about by the [ditation Technique - Modified], a demonstration of a certain level of refinent between thoughts and spiritual power, and for now, it has no practical value. However, it definitely adds to the overlay of Fist Intention, and there are bullets with added spiritual force..."
He thought of the terrifying burst of Telekinesis from Sun Shiyu, which must have been the result of a combination of talent and skill enhancents.
The ditation Technique wasn't an attack skill; this was just a reflection of how much his spiritual aspect had improved in a day.
Besides passive effects like an increased ntal capacity and faster thought processes, to make practical use of it, he would have to rely on the talent of [Fist Intent] and skills like the enhanced bullets.
Once all the Qi Replenishing Pills he had bought were digested, Tao Yu's body recovered once more, although his face still lacked so color, prompting him to consu two more tubes of even better—but definitely more expensive—Nutrient Paste.
"I didn't buy enough Qi Replenishing Pills. Now with enough money, I feel like having a hundred on would be fine. It's much more cost-effective than recovering with Yuan Force..."
After ingesting two more tubes of Nutrient Paste, Tao Yu finally felt completely recovered.
He slowly stood up then, moving his body which creaked resoundingly.
"Now I have two skills that can add a ntal shock to the bullets, and with the purification of the ditation Technique, the effect should be stronger..."
Tao Yu did a few stretching exercises, which made a sound like a taut bowstring.
Looking outside at the darkening sky, his gaze grew deeper.
It was ti for a test...
