Tang Yu arrived on the third floor and saw numerous Awakeners vigorously training.
Many important training facilities were in use, and those who hadn't gotten their turn yet could only stand by, watching and commenting.
"It seems that the third floor is already a bit overloaded..."
Although there were still many vacancies on the fourth floor, it was not open to ordinary members of the Patrol Team. Tang Yu certainly didn't want to be watched while he was training.
So, the solution was simple, upgrade. After upgrading the training camp, whether it's increasing the number of floors or expanding the area, it would ease this overload pressure.
"At that time, the Spirit Space can also be opened up appropriately."
Previously, the Spirit Space was priced high to prevent survivors from accessing it too early. After all, building structures, as magical as it was, could be attributed to Architecture Ability Users. But if it involved creating a virtual reality space as well, that would be a bit too exaggerated.
He could of course claim to be a Creation Series Ability User, but that would unavoidably lead to suspicions from certain people.
Including some equipment in the Sanctuary, Puppets, and the training devices in the camp—they all somewhat exceeded the scope of his abilities... Previously he had to be discreet, but now, as his Territory had reached level three and he held a significant amount of Source Crystals, he gradually gained confidence, and many things could be handled more openly.
Despite this indeed being a Special Ability named "System".
He shook his head, focusing on the important tasks at hand.
His purpose here wasn't to train, but to test weapons.
The Floating Chariot and the Cloud Roar Crossbow were still unmade due to a lack of crucial materials, however, the Swift Revolver had already been created.
This firearm, although still categorized as a low-level weapon, was quite a bit higher in grade compared to those basic weapons. Testing it and recording the data was very necessary.
Originally, he wanted to have Luo Zhe or Shay try it, but upon reflection, their strength and experience were too great, which wouldn't accurately reflect the power of the revolver. It would be best to have ordinary Awakeners test it.
When Luo Zhe stated the purpose, he made it clear that he needed one participant for the new weapon test.
Immediately, the Patrol Team members exploded with excitement, many who were in the midst of training stopped and gathered around.
"A new weapon? What kind of new weapon? When the Standard Longsword was introduced, there was no testing, this time the weapon must be extraordinary."
"I, I, I, Director Tang, Captain Luo, I want to participate in the new weapon test..."
Many people were eager to try.
"Everyone, hold on a moment." Tang Yu asked the Patrol Team members to keep quiet and continued, "The weapon we are testing this time is a type of new firearm, and the testing location is over there in the Dream Shooting Range..."
Zhao Ming's eyes lit up.
Firearms were his specialty, and moreover, the rules of the Dream Shooting Range were much more friendly than the Variable Space. If he could seize this opportunity, use the new firearm to score high in the Dream Shooting Range, wouldn't that help him clear his tainted history?
He immediately wanted to step forward and vie for the trial spot.
But then he heard Director Tang continue, "To fully test the power of the new weapon, the difficulty in the Dream Shooting Range needs to be adjusted to normal level or above. So, who wants to participate in the test now?"
Zhao Ming's foot that was raised in the air froze, and his face suddenly stiffened.
Normal level? If it was an easy difficulty, he would have some confidence, but normal difficulty... He thought it over and decided to follow his heart.
After a silence, a voice emerged from the crowd, "Such an interesting event, I'll do it!"
He saw a short, plump Awakener emerge, looking like a ball.
This was Ma Jiazze, seizing the opportunity to grab the trial slot while his older brother was exhausted after training.
Tang Yu glanced at him, nodded, and simultaneously took out two weapons.
These were two exquisite revolvers, their black bodies emanating a cold metallic luster that made one fall in love with them at first sight.
"Is this a revolver?" Ma Jiazze asked.
"Yes, of course they're different from ordinary pistols. As for the specific effects, let's try them out first."
Ma Jiazze picked up the two pistols, and the moment he held them in his hands, he felt something different.
He stood frozen on the spot until Ma Jiafeng poked him, bringing him to his senses.
"Why do I feel, feel that holding these two guns makes me lighter?"
Iron Hammer Boss returned a disdainful look, "These are guns, not shoes! Besides, have you seen your own figure? How could you possibly feel lighter?"
Ma Jiazze scratched his head in grievance, unable to articulate his specific feeling.
Off to the side, Tang Yu, watching this, naturally knew the reason.
The Swift Revolvers were higher-grade weapons with a large magazine capacity, and their bodies could be engraved with two types of runes.
Especially during this period, Tang Yu had introduced more varieties of runes to the market. They were all basic runes but greatly diversified the collection.
Both Swift Revolvers were engraved with Speed Runes and Precision Runes.
The Speed Rune was a precious Attribute Rune; hence, when Ma Jiazze gripped the handle, he felt his body become lighter.
Tang Yu had also tried them, and he estimated a 10% overall speed increase. If this was narrowed down to the arms and wrists holding the guns, the speed boost could be even higher, and coupled with a gun-drawing technique, he might well be called a genuine gunman.
At this point, Ma Jiazze had entered the Dream Shooting Range, standing in a green area.
He quickly selected normal difficulty, and the training began.
One after another, variously shaped Demonized Beasts appeared. These beasts were translucent phantasms with one or several small red areas on their bodies representing their vitals. If the trainee hit these red spots with gunfire, the phantasm would be defeated in one shot; otherwise, depending on the body part hit, sufficient cumulative damage was needed to defeat the phantasm.
During this exercise, the Demonized Beasts would charge toward the green area. Once a beast stepped into the green area, the trainee would lose points, similar to the reaction space, but the friendly aspect was that there was no painful or numbing penalty.
One after another, the Demonized Beasts appeared, roaring as they charged.
Ma Jiazze gripped his twin guns and fired.
The first time, he didn't hit the vitals and needed three to five shots to deal with one Demonized Beast.
However, Ma Jiazze's accuracy quickly improved. Initially needing three to five shots to resolve the phantom beasts, gradually they were dispatched with just one or two shots.
The watching Patrol Team members were amazed, "Who would have thought Iron Hammer's hammer technique was so good; I thought they only excelled in hammer technique!"
"Yes! With this gunmanship, not a single Demonized Beast has crossed the green area so far, and this is just normal difficulty!"
However, Ma Jiafeng, amongst the crowd, widened his eyes.
He knew his brother's level well. If talking about close combat, naturally he wasn't bad, but as for gunmanship, "his gunmanship was just ordinary, hitting a Demonized Beast within fifty meters was considered not bad! My brother couldn't possibly be this strong!"
