Five thousand could snap up a B level weapon, what a steal!
But who could bring out its essence?
So weapons are like collectibles from the Silver Tower, just sitting there, appreciating in value, for instance, the Demon Blade, which is priceless.
While so weapons seem impressive in description, you’d wish you could take a regret pill after buying them.
This teor Crossbow was just like that, barely usable by ordinary people.
However, this item was a perfect match for Gao Xin, and he was determined to get it.
But, he didn’t have the money...
"I’ll take this one, but I’m short on redemption cards right now,"
"Could you let have it first, and once I sell the blade to your boss, I’ll pay you back?"
Gao Xin’s proposal took the old man aback.
Normally, he would never agree to this, as cash on delivery was the rule.
But he thought the blade Gao Xin ntioned was the Demon Blade, which could sell for thirty to forty thousand.
Compared to that, the teor Crossbow was just a trifle, not worth delaying the deal over the Demon Blade.
So, the old man nodded and said, "Alright, just deduct five thousand from the money Salah pays for the blade later."
"I’ll write a note."
"Deal," Gao Xin was overjoyed, snagging a fine weapon without laying out a penny, he was all smiles.
The paperwork was quickly settled, and Gao Xin put on the teor Crossbow.
It was both a gauntlet and a hand crossbow, and as it was bio-adaptive, it could adjust to its user.
Gao Xin put it on his left hand, and imdiately it started to wriggle, embedding itself deeper into his flesh and bones.
It then spread upward, enveloping his entire arm and reaching to his shoulder and left chest.
Then ca a burst of severe pain, which stopped only once it reached his heart.
Seeing him grimace, Kerry asked, "What’s wrong?"
Gao Xin waved him off, "It’s nothing, just a bit of pain at the start, it seems like it’s rged with ."
The old man said, "It’s neurally controlled, you can take it off with just a thought."
Gao Xin tried it out, and indeed, it detached easily.
With a single thought, it contracted and reverted back into a glove, which slipped off effortlessly.
Gao Xin put it back on and asked, "Is there a shooting range? I want to test its power."
"Co with ," the old man led him to a spacious drilling field.
The area was surrounded by rocky walls, all pitted with various cuts, slash marks and filled with countless bullet holes and explosive craters.
One side of the rock wall even housed several buildings, precisely where the black market’s managent was located.
"You can test it here,"
The old man pointed at the rock wall, then shouted upwards a few tis.
Soon a young man leaped down from the high cliff, it was Yamal.
Yamal glanced at Gao Xin and said, "Salah is up there waiting for you."
"I’ll be right up," Gao Xin said as he fired an arrow at the cliff with his backhand.
He only felt a surge of intense pain on the left side of his body as a large amount of material was drawn out.
Following that, a white arrow burst forth.
This arrow was as powerful as a cannon; with a thud, the rock wall crumbled, sending stones flying and dust billowing.
However, Gao Xin was knocked backward by the recoil!
He spun rapidly like a top, his body shooting back several ters before sliding to a stop as he dissipated the force.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; the crossbow had kinetic acceleration, and the arrows were also designed with added velocity.
Even the force of the discharge was so great that it knocked him into the air, indicating the devastating impact it would have on targets, and the farther the distance, the more powerful it beca, although accuracy could be an issue.
Gao Xin thought about it and tried a different setting.
This ti, he slowed down his release. He caught his left hand with his right, steadying his body, then with a bang, he slid straight backward.
And when the crossbow bolt hit the rock wall, it exploded into a roaring blast!
"Boom!"
The fierce explosion kicked up flas and smoke, with shockwaves sweeping in all directions.
The power was equivalent to ten kilograms of TNT, and he also lost ten kilograms of flesh and blood!
"Damn..."
Gao Xin clenched his teeth in pain; losing ten kilograms of flesh and blood instantly was no pleasant experience.
It was fortunate it was him; anyone else would have scread in agony.
"The earlier acceleration arrow drew mainly from my bone material. I have Exoskeleton Solution in my body, so taking it out won’t paralyze ."
"But the explosive arrow sucked out my flesh and blood, instantly turning it into a bio-bomb."
Gao Xin pondered, the synthesizing efficiency of this weapon was astonishingly powerful.
And it wasn’t just a kinetic weapon; theoretically, it could replicate many different weapons effects.
He tried again, shooting a smaller arrow towards his right hand.
A needle-like arrow pierced his palm, and a current spread from it instantly.
Indeed, it could also be electrified, although such a current had negligible lethal effect on soone like Radiation.
Gao Xin mused that it must be related to his body; the proverb about a skilled woman unable to cook without rice rang true here—his body’s bio-electric efficiency was too low.
Yamal looked on with a bemused expression as he tested it, asking the old man, "Father, you actually sold this weapon?"
The old man quickly coughed and said, "Ahem, well, young man, are you done testing?"
Gao Xin grabbed a jug of water, drank, and replied with a light smile, "All done, let’s go up."
From Yamal’s expression, it was clear he thoroughly disdained the power of the weapon.
Despite appearing decently effective, it was all at the expense of the user’s life.
It was a veritable blood-curse, a forbidden move, but for this crossbow, these were just ordinary attacks...
Low-powered arrows were manageable, self-healing; high-powered ones could cripple, not even covering the cost of dication.
Ten kilograms of flesh and blood, why not just overclock the organs? The combat power would double.
Want a blast? Just throw a C4, isn’t it the sa? And dirt cheap.
Yamal looked at him as if he were a fool, thinking soone really had to be a lunatic to buy this thing.
