Chapter 111 Exploding Knife · Modification
Gordon was a little confused by Ancil's words.
Looking at the former's back as he quickly left, he was a little unsure for a moment whether he was being too nosy.
“Oh~! We saw an interesting picture!” A lively and cheerful female voice came from behind.
Gordon looked back and saw that it was Isana, the daughter of the Tulong village chief. A freckled girl in a bright yellow loose blacksmith's uniform poked her head out from behind the corner and looked at him with a smile.
"Well"
Gordon didn't know what to say for a moment.
Isana walked out from behind the corner. She hugged the hammer and said, "That guy is arrogant. If you don't follow him, he will feel dissatisfied~"
Gordon looked at the girl sideways, "I am very sure that you are talking nonsense."
“Ahem.” Isana coughed twice and continued:
"Okay, let's not joke. Is that guy your teammate? Let's see he is carrying the ore crystal nova. He is the heavy crossbow user. The heavy crossbow user abandons the swordsmen of the same team and runs alone to hunt. He is the brains Is it filled with lava?"
"Teammates? Not really." Gordon shook his head and said, "We are both lone hunters, and we have only cooperated once."
Hearing this, Isana raised her short eyebrows slightly, "A lone heavy crossbow user? It's rare. Hey, the heavy crossbow is a powerful output equipment with specialized firepower from the beginning.
Some people have also considered adding a small shield to the heavy crossbow to improve the survivability of the heavy crossbow. However, actual combat results have proven to be ineffective.
Without the cooperation of teammates, it will be a headache for the slow-moving heavy crossbow user to face monsters alone. "
"right?"
Gordon crossed his arms, "That guy said that he encountered a bottleneck in improving his strength and wanted to find a strong enemy to find a breakthrough in a desperate situation. I thought it made sense, but he happened to be a heavy crossbow user, so"
"Wait?! Heavy crossbow user? Looking for a breakthrough in the desperate situation of hunting alone?" Isana suddenly interrupted Gordon, her eyebrows seemed to rise higher, "How many stars is that guy a hunter?"
"Three Star."
“That idiot!” Isana put her hands on her hips and said angrily, “He’s in the wrong direction!”
“What’s the wrong direction?” Gordon asked in confusion.
"Take Qian as an example. You are a great swordsman, right?" Isana pointed at Gordon.
"yes."
“As far as you great swordsmen are concerned, physical fitness and strength are the key, and swordsmanship skills are also the key, and the former is even more important.
Do you think that a great swordsman who spends all day honing his sword skills, but never exercises his body, exercises his muscles, or improves his strength, can go far? "
Gordon shook his head decisively, "It's impossible. One star and two stars may not be so obvious, but when facing more powerful monsters, physical fitness is definitely the key.
No matter how exquisite your swordsmanship is, what’s the use if you can’t even carry a big sword? "
“That’s right! If the core of the Great Sword User is ‘power’, then the core of the Heavy Crossbow User is ‘cooperation’. How to cooperate with teammates to output enough damage is a question that the Heavy Crossbow User must think about.
At the end of the day, he has a bottleneck! His so-called bottleneck is because he refuses to form a team with others, so the role that the heavy crossbow can play is limited!
Who is that guy’s instructor? You couldn't have forgotten to tell him such a basic thing, right? "
Gordon rubbed his face.
After Isana’s big call, he finally figured it out.
Anhir doesn’t know the importance of forming a team? Of course not, it's just that he has never found a suitable teammate. The support method of grazing the swordsman's scalp and shooting is not something that everyone can get used to.
Ancil is a genius, there is no doubt about it.
Is his "grazing" support fire really nonsense?
On the one hand, he has absolute certainty, and on the other hand, it is also an amazing shooting skill - Ancier is very good at catching action gaps.
In order to take care of the "guts" of his teammates, he gave up his talents, sealed his hard-earned skills, and forced himself to become mediocre.
Why? !
Since you can’t find teammates who are willing to trust your shooting skills unconditionally, you might as well not form a team and rely on yourself!
Even if you do this, you will not be able to use your full strength, and you may even lose your life in the hunting ground.
“Well, if that’s the case, it would be a pity.” Gordon sighed.
“Yes, that awkward guy, then go and help him.”
"But my giant scissors were damaged in the last battle." Gordon smiled bitterly and rubbed the corners of his eyes. "Even if there are enough materials, it will take a long time to build a new weapon from scratch."
“Well, if we rush the work, it will take two or three days. Forging and tempering all take time, so we can’t rush it.” As a craftsman, Isana’s strength is beyond doubt and she replied with a shrug.
“My backup weapon is waiting!” Gordon said, his eyes suddenly lit up, “Exploding Knife! My backup weapon, the Exploding Knife, just arrived!
To deal with General Sickle, the Explosive Knife may be a little weak, but I have the Dragonite! Isana! How long does it take to upgrade the Exploding Knife to a Exploding Knife? "
"General Sickle?!" Isana looked at Gordon with a strange expression, "If we remember correctly, you are also a three-star hunter, right? Escape?!"
"Uh"" Gordon's face froze as he accidentally let it slip.
“If it’s the general Kamakura, that guy will be in danger.”
Isana's face gradually became serious. She stared into Gordon's eyes and said seriously: "If you issue an emergency mission temporarily, it may be too late to recruit hunters to rescue. Tell us the truth, are you really sure?"
Gordon nodded and replied equally seriously: "If he and I cooperate, there will be no problem."
“Huh~! Looks like it’s going to be all night long!”
Isana rubbed her freckled little nose and picked up the long-handled forging hammer at hand, "Send the blasting knife and strengthening materials to the workshop, and then go back and recharge!"
Early tomorrow morning, grab your new weapons and get ready to go! "
The next day, it was still dark.
Gordon took the pork chop and the explosive knife Kai that was still warm from the fire on his back, and boarded the small mine cart heading to the hunting ground.
Anhil set out yesterday afternoon.
Even if he takes a small mine cart, which he hates, he can only reach the hunting ground near dusk.
As long as his brain is not completely frightened, he will not choose to hunt on the night he arrives at the hunting ground. After all, no matter where the hunting ground is, hunting at night is much more dangerous than during the day.
If this is the case, we should be able to catch up.
“I hope I’m not collecting that guy’s body in the past.” Gordon muttered in a low voice as he stroked the shining blade of the explosive knife.
The Explosive Knife Kai has been completely transformed by adding a large amount of pylonite and lachonite to strengthen the blade, and re-melting the hook blade.
The original silver-gray sword body has turned into silver-white. While the sharpness, hardness, and strength of the sword body have been greatly improved, the weight has also increased.
Fortunately, this is not a burden for Gordon, whose physical fitness is steadily improving.
Rather, it’s more advantageous.
From what Isana said, the biggest advantage of metal weapons is their sturdiness!
Explosive Knife Kai's sharpness and power are on par with those of the Giant Scissors, but it would not be that easy for Shogun Scythe to destroy the Exploding Knife Kai.
Compared to the claw shell of the Daimyo Shield Crab, steel has stronger toughness, and the reborn Explosive Knife Kai also gave Gordon more confidence.
“Let’s come again and try our sword fighting!”
Ps. The statement that heavy crossbows are suitable for team formation and not suitable for solo farming has nothing to do with the experience of heavy crossbows in the game, but this seems to be the official design consideration from the beginning -
