Chapter 620: Chapter 467, Swiftblade_2
[Damage: Level 4 Damage]
(Description: A long-range firearm developed by dwarves, with a modified reloading mechanism to compensate for the slow bullet loading speed of dwarf gun teams.)
The gun is essentially made of wood and whitesteel, lighter to handle than a whitesteel firearm.
The style of the rifle is somewhat reminiscent of the 98K seen in games. It’s a type of bolt-action rifle where you pull back the bolt once and fire one shot. It’s not a semi-automatic rifle that fires a succession of bullets with one trigger pull.
Firing one shot per bolt pull, it’s already quite decent.
Many transmigrators have surely thought of developing modern firearms. To produce a rifle in a few months is a significant achievement.
The damage of the weapon has not been improved through modification.
Just like the whitesteel firearm, it does level 4 damage. The improvement lies in the ignition method and faster reloading.
If such rifles are equipped in large quantities, it could change the traditional warfare stance where the side with more numbers has an advantage.
Of course, the combat power brought by the hero also needs to be taken into account.
Actually, since the arrival of the transmigrators.
Some modern weapons will show up on the battlefield sooner or later.
Only it is faster and simpler than imagined.
Each gun is gifted with a magazine containing five bullets.
But such a small quantity of bullets makes it seem like a disposable weapon. After firing five bullets, it’s useless.
Fang Hao immediately contacts Deng Bin, “Deng Bin, tell the dwarves I want to buy bullets.”
Soon, Deng Bin’s response comes through, “I’ve talked to the dwarves about it. They’ll start preparing for the next batch of rifles and bullets when they go back today, and they’ll make a trip with you to trade construction kits in a couple of days.”
From Deng Bin’s reply, it’s clear the dwarves value the construction kit Fang Hao has for trade.
This could be a bargaining chip in negotiating terms with them.
After thinking, he says: “Tell them I want the blueprint for the bullets, or I won’t continue to buy this type of rifle.”
The bullets are very important to guns.
If there aren’t enough bullets, the rifle can only be used as a stick.
Soon, Deng Bin replied again, “I talked to them about it. This dwarf said he can’t make the decision. He needs to go back and discuss. He’ll try to come again the day after tomorrow.”
Fang Hao puts the whitesteel rifle aside.
He picks up the second weapon for inspection.
[Dwarf Silver Tiger Finger (Purple)]
[Category: Tiger’s Claw]
[Damage: Level 4 Damage]
[Ability: Stamina +45%, Skill speed +10%]
(Description: The Tiger’s Claw crafted by a master dwarf. It’s always been a slow seller due to its less use and has been ceased production.)
A purple weapon, with decent attributes indeed.
Beyond its Level 4 damage, it has two added abilities.
Stamina +45%, and 10% skill speed is very suitable for Anjia.
It is, indeed, a nice piece of equipment.
When Anjia returns, I’ll give it to her.
The last item is the blueprint for the dwarf wagon.
[Dwarf Iron Horse Carriage: Hardwood 400, Thick Robust Leather 200, Iron 200, Cast Iron 150, Dwarf Iron 50, Metal Parts 120]
Fang Hao owns two wagon blueprints, a cart, and a convoy wagon.
These two wagons are primarily made of wood.
The blueprint for this Dwarf Iron Horse Carriage uses more iron materials.
It should be an advanced type of carriage. Going to Silver Wing City with Rebecca in a few days, a better carriage can speed up the journey.
After inspecting all of the items.
The maid outside the door removes all of the items.
In conclusion, this trade was completed by Deng Bin on his own.
In this region, dwarves are not considered a major race.
They don’t have a large population and reside in the Eight Peaks Mountain region.
Plus, the dwarves are hot-tempered and focus on their interests, hence, rarely engage with other races.
This results in the dwarves having a limited influence in this area. Moreover, a recent internal strife within the Eight Peaks Mountain dwarf community significantly reduced their power.
This time, the dwarves, through the transmigrator, have produced a bolt-action rifle.
One could say their strength has significantly increased.
Once a large number of bolt-action rifles are equipped and ordinary residents wielding the rifles have Level 4 combat power.
They can fully contend with the major clan’s army.
By that time, the situation in the entire region will change.
Fang Hao wants to use this opportunity to understand more about this type of bolt-action rifle to avoid being at a disadvantage in subsequent battles due to weapon disparities.
As he was thinking, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the door.
Then, bang! A loud noise.
The back door was kicked open, and Anjia and Lorrey, front and back, burst in from outside.
Both shouted at once, leaping high into the air.
Splash, splash, both plunged straight into the hot spring, causing a wave of water to shoot out.
Only when they surfaced from under the water did they notice Fang Hao and Eira, who had been splashed by the water at the edge of the pool.
“Oh my! You’re here, too.” Anjia exclaimed as if she’d just noticed them.
Lorrey spotted Fang Hao and instantly lost her playfulness, sitting quietly on the side.
Fang Hao wiped the water off his face and said, “Aren’t you two afraid that the pool might be empty? You didn’t even check before diving.”
“We come every day, how could it be empty.” Anjia chuckled.
