Chapter 132: A Small Test of Skill

Just now, the Construction Sage Interface made a “pong” sound, startling Kamiyu, who thought the crafting had failed. Fortunately, it was just that the weapon blank had been completed, and the next step was to select the weapon’s skin.

As a sniper, Kamiyu chose a modern weapon as the skin for the Staff, rather than creating the original version of the Sound of Chaos.

First, she was used to it, and second, others wouldn’t be able to tell what kind of weapon this was or that it was a Dark Gold Tier Staff.

It looked like a sniper rifle but was actually a Staff—Kamiyu wanted precisely this kind of unexpected effect.

Moreover, she chose the most classic skin design: the Barrett, the big brother’s exclusive gun from Xi Ai Fu.

She didn’t pick a flashy skin but opted for the most original, classic first-generation model in the game—the black-skinned Barrett.

“Click confirm.”

“Ding-ding-ding-ding, ding.” A pleasant, crisp sound of metalworking rang in her mind.

“Ding, crafting successful. Obtained Dark Gold Tier Staff: Sound of Chaos (Triple Attributes Edition).”

【Equipment Name: Sound of Chaos (Triple Attributes Edition) (Barrett Skin)】

【Equipment Slot: Staff】

【Tier: Dark Gold】

【Durability: 900/900】

【Affix: +60% Core Skill Attack Speed】

【Passive Skill: +60% Lightning Skill Accuracy Rate】

【Core Skill: After converting one of your own skills into a Core Skill, casting the Core Skill will additionally release the Core Skill 6 times】

A Barrett Cannon, slightly smaller than the NTW-40, appeared on the table. At first glance, it looked like just an ordinary sniper rifle.

But upon closer inspection, one could sense the faint, shimmering energy fluctuations and vaguely see the intricate magical inscriptions engraved on the gun barrel.

“I really wanted to keep a low profile, but it seems impossible.” Kamiyu sighed, flexing.

To her surprise:

“Huh? This time, even the Durability, Affix, and Passive Skill received the permanent Triple Attributes Buff?” Kamiyu widened her eyes.

Dark Gold Weapons also come with Affixes and Passive Skills.

“Yahoo, this time I rolled an incredibly overpowered Attack Speed Affix. Previously, the ‘Phase Energy Cannon’ used to fire the Frenzied Lightning Arrow took 1 or 2 seconds to gather energy, but now it’s become rapid-fire,” Kamiyu thought to herself.

She also thought that this Passive Skill wasn’t bad either. When her Arc splashed and hit an enemy, the five split Arcs would strike the enemy in random directions.

With this Passive Skill, it would increase Accuracy by 60%, greatly boosting the hit rate, so she wouldn’t have to rely on luck anymore.

Life is full of ups and downs. The 100 Enhancement Points she had just rolled, the large pile of materials that only Dungeon Boss-level Monsters would Drop, plus most of the materials she had farmed over the past week—all were swallowed up by the Construction Sage Interface.

“No wonder Blacksmiths in every game are called ‘Wan Suiye’ or ‘Gold-Eating Beasts.’ Playing Construction and Enhancement is truly a bottomless pit,” Kamiyu muttered to herself.

She had spent quite some time thinking and crafting the Sound of Chaos, and there were signs of a Comeback on the eastern Battlefield.

“Damn, we can’t hold on anymore. These Aberrant Beasts are acting like they’re on drugs, completely unfazed by pain,” one Player said.

“Exactly. In past Hell Tides, when have the Aberrant Beasts ever been this fearless, fighting to the death like today?” A Squad Captain had even worn down the Durability of his spear.

“Mages? Where are the mages? Use your Skills, quick!” A frontline Player, having lost half his health, stumbled back to the rear.

The ranged class Players on the city wall all frowned.

“It’s no use. Even the moat is filled with the corpses of Aberrant Beast Demons. Now they’re advancing over their fallen comrades,” an Archer shouted.

“This is insane. We can’t hold them off.”

“What about that expert from your Guild? Get her to act now!” a Solo Player who had just logged back in urged anxiously.

A member of the Invincible Guild replied with a frown, “Lady Kamier might be waiting for her Skill Cooldown. Let’s hold out a little longer.”

“Hold out my ass. If it’s not working, just say so. Don’t waste my time,” the Solo Player grumbled.

“You can log Offline anytime. No one forced you to come here for benefits,” an Invincible Guild Captain said coldly.

“You…” The Solo Player was left speechless.

The new rifle needed its Scope adjusted. Kamiyu spent some time and finally got the Scope properly set.

Kamiyu’s Headshot Strike Skill was still on Cooldown. For now, she could only rely on Magic Bullets with Triple Attributes to manage the situation.

“Damn, that area is so crowded. They’re all mixed up with the Aberrant Beast Demons. Looks like I’ll have to use the Phase Energy Cannon,” Kamiyu muttered, finally finding a clear line of fire.

“Load: Thunderstorm Bullet; Select: Frenzied Lightning Arrow.”

“Stack: Armor-Piercing Bullet.”

Kamiyu looked through the Scope at the Level 29 Steel-Blade Spider Boss, took a deep breath, and pulled the Trigger as usual.

“Whoosh~”, “Crackle~”.

An even more intense phase energy beam, white on the outside and red within, shot from the barrel of the Barrett.

“The Wind-up speed for the Skill is so fast. Must be the effect of a Passive Skill,” Kamiyu thought, her eyes lighting up.

With a “BOOM~”,

The energy beam was ten times more massive than the one fired earlier by the NTW-40. This wasn’t a Gundam-grade energy beam; this was a fortress-grade beam energy Main Cannon.

The beam energy Main Cannon shot from the south, angled northeastward across the eastern Battlefield. The entire Level 29 Steel-Blade Spider Boss was incinerated, along with the Aberrant Beast Demons behind it, blasted into debris. It even pierced through the small hill behind them.

Noticing the Phase Energy Cannon’s duration was longer than before, Kamiyu immediately swung the barrel eastward, sweeping in a fan-shaped arc and incinerating a large swath of Aberrant Beast Demons.

“Ten times higher attributes than Ancestral Legendary Tier. Both the Skill’s power and duration have undergone a qualitative leap.

Is this the power of the Dark Gold Tier? And I even have the Headshot Strike effect Stacked on top. Truly terrifying,” Kamiyu exhaled.

Actually, she hadn’t even factored in her Construction Sage’s Triple Attributes effect yet.

As Kamiyu adjusted the rifle’s trajectory to the right, she accidentally burned through the roof of a watchtower on the Kaijistan city wall.

“Oops, I even damaged the Main City. Heavenly Father, you won’t blame me, right?” Kamiyu said helplessly.

With the energy beam’s diameter increased tenfold, its effective range extended much farther. Not only was the watchtower’s ceiling burned through, but even the people on the city wall felt an immense wave of heat.

At this moment, directly beneath Kamiyu’s tower, the people on the city wall were also affected.

“Damn, my armor’s durability has dropped by half,” a solo player said.

“Is there a healer? We need support here,” a player without armor even began to lose health.

The sheer heat and light alone could burn others—this staff was truly terrifying.
