Chapter 45 – The Terrifying Antimatter Particle Beam Turret

The first item was a card—a Universal Upgrade Resource Card (limited to Level 7 and below).

As the name suggests, this card could substitute for any upgrade material.

If he lacked a specific material for future upgrades, he could directly use this card as a replacement, making it quite valuable.

The second item was an Alloy Axle!

The Alloy Axle was a core material for upgrading the train to Level 4, extremely difficult to obtain. He hadn’t expected one to appear in this Level 4 Supply Crate—it was likely a hidden reward for being the first in the region to open a Level 4 Supply Crate, right?

The third item was a Skill Scroll—Rapid Healing.

Rapid Healing: Consumes Mental Force to significantly increase one’s own life recovery speed.

A highly practical skill that could greatly enhance his survivability.

The fourth item was a weapon module—an Antimatter Particle Beam Turret.

Antimatter Particle Beam Turret: The turret is circular, capable of 360-degree rotation, equipped with multiple Antimatter Particle Beam emitters and surrounded by protective armor. It automatically tracks and attacks targets within its range, firing high-intensity Antimatter Particle Beams to deliver sustained strikes against both aerial and ground targets.

“Wow!”

“It actually dropped an Antimatter weapon!”

Antimatter weapons had no fixed Level classification; their power depended on the Antimatter Core equipped with them.

He had previously obtained an Antimatter Core and hadn’t expected to use it so soon!

With this weapon module, his Armament Carriage would no longer be empty.

All four items were rare and exceptional treasures!

Xiao Wuwang stored the Universal Upgrade Resource Card and the Alloy Axle.

He immediately used the Skill Scroll, adding another skill to his Skill Slot.

Finally, he took the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret weapon module, retrieved the Antimatter Core from the Storage Carriage, and headed to the Armament Carriage.

The Armament Carriage was a Level 2 carriage with five Weapon Slots.

Xiao Wuwang first installed the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret in Weapon Slot 1, then inserted the Antimatter Core.

“Hum~”

The moment the Antimatter Core was successfully installed, a faint hum resonated through the space.

Immediately after, a tower-like device slowly rose from the Weapon Slot, its surface shimmering with a deep blue glow. As the light flowed, it seemed to contain boundless energy.

This was the scene of the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret successfully activating.

Xiao Wuwang opened the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret panel to check:

【Antimatter Particle Beam Turret】

【Equipped with an intelligent sensing system and target tracking module, capable of locking onto enemies within a maximum range of 5 kilometers】

【After locking onto a target, the turret can initiate two Attack Modes: Particle Beam and Particle Cannon】

【Particle Beam: Lower power, faster attack speed】

【Particle Cannon: Higher power, requires charging time】

With the Viper-S Autocannon in front and the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret behind, the safety of his train was greatly enhanced.

Next, Xiao Wuwang tested the power of the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret.

His train had now been upgraded to Level 4, expanding his Vision Range to 320 meters.

Although the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret’s locking range extended up to 5 kilometers, it couldn’t penetrate the fog, so its effective attack range was limited to within 320 meters.

Xiao Wuwang controlled the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret to aim at a large rock 200 meters away and issued the attack command.

The moment the command was issued, the dark blue glow on the surface of the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret suddenly solidified, as if an invisible force was gathering within the Antimatter Particle Beam emitter.

Suddenly, a slender, deep particle beam shot out from the emitter at the top of the turret.

This particle beam was nearly impossible to detect unless one paid close attention.

In an instant, the particle beam struck the massive rock.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any spectacular display of dust and debris. Instead, the originally incredibly hard rock, upon contact with the particle beam, melted and broke down like wax under intense heat, rapidly dissolving and disintegrating…

In the end, it turned directly into a pile of powder, gently scattering in the breeze.

This was the terror of antimatter weapons!

If struck and unable to counteract this antimatter energy, the target would simply turn to dust!

And this was the weakest attack from the Antimatter Particle Beam.

There were two higher-frequency attacks above this level, each with increasing power!

As for the Antimatter Particle Cannon, which required charging to trigger—how terrifying would its power be?

Xiao Wuwang dared not imagine.

Because, in his previous life, he had never managed to obtain a single antimatter weapon before his death.

Setting aside his thoughts, Xiao Wuwang turned his attention back to the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret’s control panel.

At a glance, he was startled—that simple attack had actually consumed 1% of the Antimatter Core’s energy.

This meant that, in the short term, such attacks could only be fired a maximum of 100 times.

It seemed he would need to supplement the Weapon Slots in the Armament Carriage.

Otherwise, if faced with a large-scale monster siege in the future, the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret’s kill count would still be relatively limited. It would be best to reserve the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret for critical moments.

Xiao Wuwang also observed the Antimatter Core’s energy recharge rate. It was estimated that restoring that 1% of energy would take about an hour.

The novice period still had three or four days left, during which the train was invincible.

Thus, he didn’t hesitate to test each attack level of the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret, sparing no energy.

Finally, he even tested the power of the Antimatter Particle Cannon.

The Antimatter Particle Cannon could accumulate 5% energy per second of charging. In the end, Xiao Wuwang tested the power of the Antimatter Particle Cannon at three energy levels: 10%, 20%, and 50%.

The 50% energy level Antimatter Particle Cannon directly flattened and annihilated an entire hill, with the annihilation effect even spreading toward the train. It finally stopped just four or five meters away from the train, after which the train slowly moved away.

The feeling of the annihilated void spreading beneath his feet made Xiao Wuwang break out in a cold sweat.

He had almost gone too far!

He had almost become the first player to be annihilated by his own weapon!

After gaining a thorough understanding of the Antimatter Particle Cannon, Xiao Wuwang had a clearer plan in mind for how to use the Antimatter Particle Beam Turret.

Xiao Wuwang returned to the Living Carriage.

He felt a slight disappointment that the Supply Crate hadn’t yielded an Intelligent Chip.

Now, while waiting for his Fatigue Points to recover and with nothing else to do, he simply opened the Chat Channel to put in some effort to acquire an Intelligent Chip.

In the Chat Channel, many people were either selling or buying items.

Xiao Wuwang joined this bustling crowd.

Wuwang Kuangzun: [Seeking one Intelligent Chip, willing to trade for a Level 3 firearm! Intelligent Chip.jpg]

Xiao Wuwang attached a picture of the Intelligent Chip to his message, in case others didn’t recognize it.

The power of a Level 3 firearm was considerable, posing a significant threat even with Xiao Wuwang’s current dual Base Attributes exceeding 20.

However, to obtain the Artisan Workbench as quickly as possible, he could no longer afford to hesitate.
