If Fangzheng's creation of a gun surprised Liz, then what Fangzheng did next almost made her mouth drop open. He could actually hold a gun in one hand and a sword in the other to attack with a skill!?
How did Fangzheng do it?
At this moment, Liz couldn't care less about being reserved. She almost wanted to rush over and grab Fangzheng to ask for an explanation.
It was natural for her to be so excited. After these days of "survival", the players in the game basically had a certain understanding of the game's skills and combat system. One of them was – [Weapons can only be used after being equipped].
For example, a one-handed sword had a skill called [Horizontal Quadruple Slash]. As long as the player held a one-handed sword, they could activate this skill. It didn't matter if the player's other hand was empty or holding a shield.
On the other hand, if the player was equipped with two one-handed swords, then they couldn't activate [Horizontal Quadruple Slash]. The reason was simple, because this skill was a "one-handed" sword skill. If both of your hands were equipped with weapons, then it wouldn't be a "one-handed skill" anymore, so naturally, it couldn't be used!
That was why Liz was so excited. The Monster Cutter that she created was a one-handed sword. If she wanted to use a skill, the other hand naturally couldn't hold a weapon. But Fangzheng could actually shoot and use a skill at the same time? Are you kidding me? What kind of system bug is this?
In response to Liz's question, Fangzheng's answer was very simple.
"Because I'm not holding a weapon in my left hand."
"… ….???"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Liz was stunned for a moment. She looked at the gun in Fangzheng's left hand, then raised her head to look at him with an expression that said "Who are you trying to fool?". If that's not a weapon, then what is it? Go ask around on the street, ten out of ten people will know that it's a weapon!
"That's the truth, I'm not lying."
Seeing that Liz was about to pounce on him and bite him, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders, but he still explained to Liz the reason behind it.
In fact, this was the inspiration Fangzheng got from his playful behavior.
In the beginning, Fangzheng had wanted to create a blueprint for a gun just like how he created the Monster Slicer. However, he did not expect that after he completed the blueprint, the System would immediately notify him of the Unruly Blueprint. Obviously, the game had considered this problem. Since the Blueprint was designed, the designer must have thought of the possibility of players using blueprints to create useless things. For example, if you wanted to create a sniper rifle that could take an enemy's head from eight hundred meters away, how would other players be able to fight for it?
Or if you took out a Gatling gun, wouldn't everyone want to die?
However, Fangzheng was also a game designer. They were in the same line of work. If he didn't let him play, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Back in the day, I was also a swindler … no, a swindler who earned millions of player assets. Do you think you can stump me with that little bit of caution? No such thing exists!
So, Fangzheng really found a way. It was the scene that Liz saw him go crazy just now.
In fact, it was not Fangzheng going crazy. He just confirmed one thing through his actions just now, and that was that the physics engine in the game was … not bad.
But it made sense. This was a stealth game. If you had a gravity environment like that of the Moon or Mars, the players would probably float after playing the game. Therefore, the game itself must be as close to reality as possible to give the players the best experience possible.
That's easy!
What was a gun?
Of course it was a weapon.
But how was a gun made in the real world?
Of course it couldn't be made with just a blueprint like in the game. It required all kinds of parts and assembly.
That made things easier. I can't make a gun blueprint, but what can you do to me if I make the parts?
As it turned out, the system really couldn't do anything to Fangzheng. After all, it was a limited program. It was just like how in Fangzheng's previous life, there were people in Minecraft who made beautiful girls out of blocks. The system itself didn't have this ability, but the high degree of freedom allowed the players to do it themselves. Of course, they could dig out enough blocks to make a beautiful 2D girl, the kind that could even see her underwear from afar.
Right now, Fangzheng was doing the same. Even if all the players in the game thought that Fangzheng was holding a gun in his hand, the system wouldn't think so. It would only detect that Fangzheng was holding an accessory in his left hand, and that was it. For the system, this was something similar to a bracelet, a glove, a ring or something else. It couldn't even be classified as a "weapon"!
Therefore, even if Fangzheng was holding two menacing weapons, the system would only detect that he was holding one weapon ….
Since it was a weapon, it naturally couldn't limit the number of skills it could unleash ….
As for how the gun worked, that was even simpler. Since the physics in the game was the same as reality, logically speaking, these parts could be used in the real world, so there was no reason that they couldn't be used in the game.
But even so, the gun had many flaws.
First, its shooting range was less than 20 meters. After Fangzheng's tests, the effective range was only about 5 to 10 meters. The most troublesome part was that it needed to be reloaded. According to the system, the gun in Fangzheng's hand was a pile of "accessories", so it naturally couldn't be automatically reloaded. Therefore, after firing the bullets, it had to be manually reloaded.
Even if Fangzheng reloaded the magazine, he could only fire 20 bullets at a time. This meant that in a battle, after firing 20 shots, he would have to reload. Considering the number of monsters in the game, this would consume a lot of bullets, and these bullets weren't cheap. The most important thing was gunpowder. Although it was a forging material that could be bought and sold, one gunpowder cost 50 Corr. Two gunpowder cost 100 Corr. Twenty bullets in a magazine, 1000 Corr was all it took.
Based on the current funds in the game, 1,000 Corr was enough for a player to live well for two or three days without a problem. It must be noted that when Gabrielle asked Fangzheng for money to buy equipment, it was only 2,000 Corr, which was equivalent to two magazines.
Not only that, the gun itself didn't do much damage. Fangzheng tested it just now. After hitting the target, the system showed that it received "piercing damage", which was even half the damage of a normal slash from a weapon. As a weapon, it was basically useless.
But what Fangzheng was interested in was not its attack power, but its "function".
As mentioned before, in the game, if a player wanted to block the skills of a monster or a boss, they needed to attack by brandishing their weapon to interrupt the enemy's skill activation.
Previously, Ying Lili used this to block the attack of the Cynocephali Lord during the first floor battle against the Lord. She was stunned, and then she was killed by Fangzheng.
But the problem with this was that every player's attack was on a shared cooldown. If you stunned the opponent, you would also be stunned. That was why there was a need to switch — to allow other players to attack.
However, in this case, the stunned players themselves were a little dangerous. It would be fine if they were fighting alone, but if there were too many enemies surrounding them, they might be in danger of being attacked by small monsters.
But with the gun, this wasn't a problem.
If he were to fight the boss again, this was what Fangzheng envisioned.
[The boss is charging at Fangzheng.]
[The boss used a skill.]
[Fangzheng's shooting.]
[The boss's skill was interrupted.]
[The boss is stunned.]
[Fangzheng used a skill to attack.]
On one hand, because the system determined that skills could be interrupted by attack damage, it meant that Fangzheng's shooting could interrupt the boss's skill. On the other hand, because the gun in Fangzheng's hand was not recognized as an official weapon by the system, Fangzheng would not be stunned when he attacked with the gun. He could directly use skills to attack.
Furthermore, Fangzheng could even not use normal bullets. Instead, he could use canister bullets to attack. This kind of bullet had a short range, but its advantage was that the bullets were scattered and the attack range was large. One shot could engulf the boss's entire body. In this case, as long as any bullet hit the boss's weapon or the body that activated the skill, the skill would be interrupted.
This was much safer and faster than taking risks with a one-handed sword. There was no need to desperately dodge or block every time. Instead, he only needed to pull the trigger at the charging boss.
Even if something went wrong, he would have enough time to dodge instead of being attacked by the boss after failing to block.
It could be said that the appearance of this gun was a huge help to Fangzheng's team!
