CHAPTER 144: CHAPTER 145: ACHIEVING A NEW MILESTONE, CREATING THE FIRST HOT WEAPON IN THE OTHERWORLD!

[Congratulations, you’ve obtained the M19 Pistol (Common)!]

[The M19 Pistol comes with 7 bullets!]

As the system voice fell, a white glimmer flashed, and Lin Yue found a silver-white pistol in his hand!

"This weight... feels really good." Lin Yue gently touched the lustrous body of the gun, as a wave of excitement emerged from the depths of his being, lifting his spirits even more.

The barrel wasn’t long, the body was small, but the stock was surprisingly solid.

Holding it in his right hand, Lin Yue lightly placed his index finger on the trigger, then raised it up and held it forward, with his left hand gently supporting, mimicking the posture he had seen only in movies, TV shows, or documentaries.

This might be the first hot weapon made in this Otherworld!

While others were still using various cold weapons with extremely low power, Lin Yue once again reached a new level ahead of everyone!

However, this "common" annotation is consistent with other cold weapons, as long as he unlocks this design blueprint, the quality of the pistol can be further enhanced!

"I really want to try and see what the power is like..." Lin Yue muttered to himself, although he wanted to, he restrained himself.

After all, this pistol is only equipped with 7 bullets, and once he gets addicted, these seven rounds can be easily shot off!

Even though he could make another one using materials, it’s clearly not a wise option.

"Bullets are enough; can’t I shoot as many as I want?" Lin Yue fiddled for a while, finally removed the magazine, and extracted the heavy bullets one by one.

Placing one of them on the High-Precision Research Workstation, Lin Yue immediately chose to decompose it and obtain the blueprint.

[M19 Pistol Special Bullet: Bullet head, primer (brass/white brass), lead core (lead block), powder/nitrocellulose]

emmm...

These are all things I don’t have.

However, the fact that he doesn’t have them doesn’t mean others don’t.

After scanning through the Survival Points Mall, he unexpectedly found lead blocks. Lin Yue exchanged 500 points for 10 blocks, but none of the other items were available.

Brass, white brass... These two are alloys, right.

Lin Yue remembered someone had wanted to trade brass or white brass for strawberries before, so he found that person and immediately contacted him privately.

"Never mind strawberries, if you give enough of either material, I wouldn’t mind giving a watermelon either."

The other party quickly confirmed the trade, and Lin Yue only needed to use a mere 1 kg of strawberries, to exchange for 20 pieces of brass!

Regarding the powder... Lin Yue searched around and indeed no one was selling it.

But just because no one is selling doesn’t mean no one has it.

Thinking it over, Lin Yue first left a private message for Xia Feihong and then sent one to Xing Lingfeng, the Outdoor King.

It didn’t take long before Xia Feihong replied: "Lin Yue, we have it. How much do you need?"

"1L of water, how much can it exchange for?" Lin Yue raised an eyebrow, realizing that Liu Kai’s team was quite formidable and had almost everything.

"10L of water for 2 kg."

"Deal." Water, there’s so much of it, he just unlocked 283 bottles, roughly 170L of water.

[You lost 10L of water]

[You obtained 2kg of black gunpowder]

Just as Lin Yue was preparing to make bullets, Xing Lingfeng also replied to his message.

"Making bullets, right? I have nitrocellulose, consider it."

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow.

Xing Lingfeng is extraordinarily smart, even a bit excessively smart, as he effortlessly deduced he was making bullets just from the black powder!

This person is indeed scary.

He’s not just an outdoor survival expert, but has a much deeper reserve of professional knowledge than others.

Despite having limited knowledge, Lin Yue also understood that gunpowder was definitely much more outdated compared to nitrocellulose.

"What do you want? Water?" Lin Yue knew that playing dumb wouldn’t work, especially in front of someone as straightforward as Xing Lingfeng during transactions—playing dumb would just be foolish.

"I’m currently fine with water, do you have any new vegetables and fruits not yet traded?" Xing Lingfeng quickly replied.

Goodness, you guessed it again?

"How about a watermelon?"

"I want one, exchanging for 3 kg of nitrocellulose."

"Deal."

Watermelons were easily obtainable for Lin Yue, as he had planted a total of five plants in the greenhouse earlier, which bore five fruits last time; he, Bai, and the Little Ice Lizards had eaten two of them, leaving three untouched.

Moreover, currently, he can harvest more than five watermelons every day, and as he continues planting, the number of watermelons will increase!

[You lost Watermelon X1]

[You obtained 3kg Nitrocellulose]

Lin Yue didn’t take the nitrocellulose out of his Storage Space, and after the successful trade, he immediately proceeded to make bullets!

[You lost Brass X1, Lead block X1, Nitrocellulose 800g]

[You obtained 900 rounds of M19 Pistol Special Bullets!]

rounds!

Lin Yue suddenly felt an exhilarating rush of wealth!

rounds, enough for him to go wild!

Taking out one of the bullets he made and comparing it with the original, Lin Yue couldn’t see any difference at all.

Lin Yue took a deep breath and walked outside the front gate.

Outside, it remained peaceful; no large mutant creatures appeared, and with no prey in sight, Lin Yue had no choice but to use the nearby small forest for practice.

Approaching a small tree, he reloaded the magazine with bullets, counting that it could hold a total of 16 rounds—a decent number.

Pulling the slide back, inserting the magazine, and the slide quickly snapped shut again.

Holding the gun in his right hand, supporting with his left, he focused on the sight, aiming at the center of the tree trunk.

His hands trembled, but Lin Yue was extremely excited inside.

He remembered, back in the orphanage, when he spent a long time carving a block of wood into a wooden pistol with a pencil-shaving knife, only to have it snatched away after being beaten by older kids. When he managed to take it back using a brick to bash one of them, the wooden pistol was already broken.

After that, he’d never made any wooden pistols again, and was thoroughly targeted at the orphanage.

Thinking back, Lin Yue felt a pang of emotion.

Thankfully, after growing up, and even in the Otherworld, no one dared to bully him.

Otherwise...

Lin Yue held the gun in both hands, slowly placing his hands on the trigger!

Bang!!

A sudden loud boom, a sharp pain in the palm, followed by the entire arm and hand being jerked upward!

A brief moment of tinnitus, the smell of gunsmoke hanging in the air, the first recoil from firing, and the bouncing of the shell all gave Lin Yue a fresh, exhilarating sensation.

"Wow, this sound is loud! But, how’s the power?" Lin Yue lowered the gun, looked toward the small tree he aimed at, but found it unscathed, the bullet hitting a larger tree beside it instead!

Lin Yue returned to his original position, and soon came the sounds of Bai and the Little Ice Lizards approaching after hearing the commotion.

"No one is allowed to get close, got it?"

"Gawu!" Bai acknowledged and conveyed to the Little Ice Lizards.

Standing dozens of meters away from Lin Yue, they quietly watched as he handled the strange item that could emit a powerful noise.

Lin Yue adjusted his posture and aimed again!

With continuous shooting, empty shells kept pouring out.

The vibrations in his palm made Lin Yue increasingly unable to stop!

And that small tree, it was riddled with holes from Lin Yue’s erratic shots.

Finally, having fired all the bullets, Lin Yue pressed against his sore palm, gazing at the mutilated small tree, knowing he had acquired another great offensive weapon!
