Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Doomsday Technology

"Purification mission, three damage dealers with Life Souls, apply to join the team and head out immediately."

"Is there any strong team doing the purification mission? I’ve unlocked my Second Star Vein and have a powerful combo of stone-statue ghost + Taunt to ensure the safety of other team members."

"For purification missions, don’t apply if Monster Level is below 8, we only want strong players."

...

After all missions were issued, the regional voice channels were flooded with recruitment messages.

Players gathered in groups and headed towards the Dark Cave.

By this time, there were already long lines forming outside the Dark Cave.

Although there are five underground floors spacious enough to accommodate a massive influx of players, the entrance only allows two people to walk side by side.

The influx of players led to a bottleneck at the entrance, forcing everyone to enter in a queued manner.

Inside the cave, players continued to delve deeper, engaging fiercely with Iron Shell Bugs, occasionally resulting in player deaths who would respawn back in Imperial Tomb Village.

This process was incredibly frenzied.

Meanwhile, players waiting outside passed the time on forums or in chat channels.

Just then, a forum post drew the attention and surrounded by many players.

"Did I enter the wrong game? These guys’ way of fighting is utterly ridiculous; they must have enabled technology?"

Post owner: Dark Lands is really fun.

In the video, a group of players, dressed in basic black cloth, are on the second underground level of the Dark Cave, battling a group of Iron Shell Bugs.

Unlike other nearby players who switch to Monster Form for combat, they pull out gun-like weapons from their Space Bags, load them with Spirit Stones, and start firing at the Iron Shell Bugs.

Energy Bullets rain down dense as raindrops, create sparks as they hit the Iron Shell Bugs, leaving bullet holes in their tough shells with blood splattering.

This combat mode does not consume Physical Strength, and replenishing bullets is also very simple – just buy an Energy Baryte from the store to replace it, ensuring combat effectiveness isn’t affected by physical endurance or the need to recharge spiritual power.

This scene stunned the nearby players and also dumbfounded those who were watching the video on the forum.

Below the post, numerous players commented, sparking a lively discussion about the video content.

Endless Night: Wait, did I enter the wrong game? Where did they get those firearms? I checked the store, and there’s no firearms for sale.

Refuse Internal Strife: They must be cheating, I want to report them for hacking. How do they have firearms that are powered by Energy Stones, it’s not even the same game we are playing.

Is This Beaver?: Huh? Aren’t those the real-life Spiritual Ability Guns? I study Spiritual Mechanics; I’m quite familiar with it. Didn’t expect it to be successfully crafted in the game, my jaw dropped.

word Duck: The imagination of players is truly limitless. Since it’s a game that simulates reality perfectly, any technology from real life can theoretically be applied in-game. These guys are nuts, they actually did it.

...

The "cheating players" fervently discussed in the forum are actually members of the Doomsday Technology Guild’s Weapon Development Department who recently joined the game.

Due to limited funding, they followed Qin Ye’s advice and spent two days mining in the mines.

After Duan Xing’s appearance, they followed his movements back and forth between Ancient Battlefield and Blood-Colored Plain, collected a lot of Evil Crystals, and finally gathered enough startup capital.

Without the equipment to make advanced weapons, they first bought engraving knives from the store and crafted a batch of Spiritual Ability Guns with Spirit Stones.

Creating a simple Spiritual Ability Gun is quite powerful. The principle involves engraving a set of energy circulation pathways inside a Spirit Stone. When the trigger is pulled, the pathway is activated, quickly drawing energy from the Energy Baryte embedded in the gun body. The energy is then compressed into an Energy Bullet and ultimately propelled out of the barrel by the boost of Spiritual Energy at the end of the pathway.

After these firearms were manufactured, the entire mission appeared.

Under the leadership of Yang Tianxuan, the members of the Doomsday Technology Guild brandished their self-developed weapons in combat for the first time, creating an impressive scene of overwhelming firepower.

However, this process was also very painful for the members of the Doomsday Technology Guild.

The scene of the Spiritual Ability Gun roaring and firing dense bullets looked spectacular, but the consumption was extremely terrifying.

Players using the Monster Form fight by consuming Physical Strength, but they consumed sacrificial power, buying each bullet with sacrificial power.

Fortunately, the large number of Iron Shell Bugs brought significant gains in sacrificial power with each round of firing.

As for the profit and loss issue, the members of the Doomsday Technology Guild didn’t consider it; this was their first real combat test, aimed to showcase their strength to other players.

They have been experiencing this game for several days and were exceedingly satisfied with it.

In the future, to establish a huge technological faction and test various dangerous weapons, massive financial support is needed.

Their own resources were clearly insufficient; they needed to attract more players to join.

Even if the members who join the guild don’t provide technical support, being able to provide financial aid can also help alleviate their resource shortage problem.

The idea of Yang Tianxuan, the director of the Weapon Development Department, was very simple.

Establish a powerful guild, then earn a large amount of sacrificial power through this guild to provide resources for the development and testing of dangerous weapons.

Just as Yang Tianxuan envisioned.

The debut of the Doomsday Technology Guild immediately sparked hot discussions in the forums.

The killing continued, and the members of the Doomsday Technology Guild were frequently greeted with level-up prompts in their minds, bringing smiles to their faces.

Although they followed the weapon development genre, level was equally important in the eyes of Yang Tianxuan and others.

Previously, they thought the game’s Monster Level system had no connection to their chosen weapon development genre and saw no significant meaning in Monster Levels since they never intended to engage in close combat with monsters.

However, their views changed after one of the guild members entered the test tower.

After completing the test, they received exhilarating news.

There were many Monster Traits in the test tower that could assist in their weapon development.

For example, Brain Overclocking and Spiritual Source.

The Monster Trait of Brain Overclocking enhances brain efficiency, significantly improving memory and concentration, and enhancing cognitive processing capabilities.

The efficiency of Spiritual Source is to enhance the recovery speed of spiritual power and weaken the feedback of mental fatigue.

These two abilities were considered trivial by other players.

Especially Brain Overclocking, which was even ranked among the top ten weakest Primordial Abilities in the forums, but in the eyes of Yang Tianxuan and others, these two skills were divine, vastly superior to those battle-type Monster Traits.

Including the "Resentful Chant" trait of the initial Eagle-Headed Demon Form they consistently ignored, which, they discovered during this test, allowed perception release to see from a microscopic perspective after leveling up, also assisting weapon development.

After learning this news, Yang Tianxuan and others personally entered the test tower to test and thus conceived the idea of building a "Wisdom" genre centered on Brain Overclocking.

This genre, still in conceptualization, abandons all combat Life Souls and embeds only functional Life Souls.

Thus, Monster Level becomes incredibly important, as specific Monster Traits can bring significant efficiency improvements to their weapon development.
