After solving his own problem, Fangzheng left Lizbet's workshop. Of course, before he left, Fangzheng did not forget to remind Lizbet to keep it a secret for the time being. Lizbet also nodded in agreement like a chicken pecking at rice. She was not stupid, she knew what it meant, and naturally, she did not dare to cause any more trouble.
However, Lizbet did not know that the reason why Fangzheng did not make better firearms was not because he could not, but because he did not want to.
Was it because Fangzheng could not make the M16? Could not make the howitzer? Could not make the Gatling gun?
What a joke, how could he not make it?
But why did Fangzheng want to make it?
A long-range weapon with fierce firepower sounded powerful, but Fangzheng knew that it was basically useless to ordinary players.
The reason was simple, they were facing a digitalized boss, not a real creature.
If it was a normal creature or a monster, you might be able to get a bunch of people to line up and shoot them. However, against a monster that relied on its HP to survive, this advantage was basically zero. Even if you found a hundred people to shoot at the boss with AKs, the boss would only need to use Pierce and Charge to rush in front of you, and then use a Horizontal Sweep, and half of the people would die instantly.
If you held a gun with both hands, how could you block the attack? Hit it with your head?
Not only that, but what worried Fangzheng even more was that the appearance of such a weapon would give players a false sense of self-confidence, and it would also cause a lot of danger. The proliferation of guns in the real world was a very serious problem, and it would only be more serious in the game world.
Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, Fangzheng chose the Hunter's Firearm that he had seen in Yanan Town as his target. The firearm itself was not very powerful, and its range was very short, so there was no value in using it alone. However, when used with melee weapons, it could help reduce the risk for powerful players. Not only did it minimize the potential problems that could be caused by the proliferation of guns, but it also reduced its appeal.
After all, the requirements for such a weapon were very high, and ordinary players would not be able to use it.
As for whether others would imitate it because of his suggestion, Fangzheng was not worried at all. Although the blueprints of the parts were drawn in a few strokes, the precision of the parts drawn by Fangzheng was industrial-level, without the slightest error. Just this ability alone made Fangzheng feel that few players had it. Besides, this wasn't drawing a 2D map, but a 3D model. That made it even more difficult.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if someone really managed to create an M16, Fangzheng would not be afraid. Just like what was mentioned before, in this game world that relied on HP and not physical damage, the power of firearms was basically just for show. Fangzheng could risk taking a hail of bullets and charge forward. As long as he was in front of his opponent, he would not even have a chance to fight back.
When Fangzheng returned to the guild encampment, the people who had gone to investigate under Fangzheng's orders had also returned. Even Jia Baili had handed in her ten investigation reports with a bitter expression. Fangzheng did not waste any time. He immediately opened the reports and read them one by one.
Perhaps it was because most of the people in Fangzheng's guild were girls, but everyone had their own hobbies and clubs. Of course, it wasn't like there weren't any otakus. Just look at Jia Baili, who was sprawled on the table like a husky.
After reading the list, Fangzheng made a decision.
"Let's do it this way. From tomorrow onwards, there will be 120 minutes of free time every afternoon for them to do whatever they want. It'll be like a club activity. They can form teams freely according to their own ideas and do some interesting activities."
In Shana's world, Fangzheng had also worked as a high school teacher in Japan for a period of time, so he had some understanding of the living habits of Japanese students.
"Is that necessary?"
Sure enough, the first person to object to Fangzheng's decision was Asuna.
"We don't have enough manpower at the moment. Shouldn't we let them be more responsible for combat and production …."
"It's also important to strike a balance between work and rest, and …."
Fangzheng paused for a moment.
"If we can restore the daily activities of the real world to a certain extent, it'll more or less help us relax. The production team doesn't need to participate in the frontline battles as long as they don't forget to level up. The combat team needs to work harder, but not too hard. At present, there are only a few of us in the frontline strategy team, so we don't need too many resources. We just need to ensure the healthy growth of the whole guild. If we push them too hard, it'll backfire. "
"…."
This time, Asuna did not say anything. She just silently retreated to the side. Seeing that no one else had any objections, Fangzheng waved his hand.
"Let's go. We're going to the second floor of the Labyrinth dungeon!"
The map of the second floor was not much different from the first floor, but unlike the forest terrain of the first floor, the second floor was mainly flat terrain such as grasslands and wilderness. The advantage was that monsters could not hide and launch sneak attacks, but the disadvantage was that once they were surrounded, it would be very difficult to escape using the terrain.
Most of the monsters that lived on the second floor were strength-type monsters. Of course, they were not difficult to deal with for Fangzheng and the others, but for Fangzheng, the reason he brought them here to hunt was not as simple as leveling up.
"— — —!!"
The half-naked minotaur raised his club and charged at Fangzheng. Facing the minotaur, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly. Then, he suddenly raised the strangely shaped machete in his hand and swung it forward.
Crack!!
The gigantic machete instantly split apart under Fangzheng's wave, transforming into a gigantic blade that lashed at the Minotaur. Following that, Fangzheng lashed out with a backhand whip, sending the Minotaur, who was tall enough to be a Power Forward and play basketball, retreating.
But at that moment, the other two Minotaurs surrounded Sheyan from the left and right. But the moment they attacked, Fangzheng retracted his sword and rolled to the side to avoid the attacks of the two Minotaurs. Then, he swung the greatsword in his hand again.
The blade whip that had transformed into a huge python mercilessly lashed at the bodies of the two Minotaurs, smashing them into pieces.
Fangzheng stood up and slammed the greatsword in his hand on the ground, transforming it from a blade whip to a single-handed greatsword. Then, he leaped into the air and struck the third Minotaur that he had repelled earlier ….
Bang!
Along with the flying fragments, the last Minotaur was completely defeated.
"Amazing …."
The girls couldn't help but widen their eyes as they looked at Fangzheng in a daze. In fact, when Fangzheng first displayed the deformed broadsword in front of them, all of them were alarmed. And now, after watching it for the entire journey, they could sense the power of the deformed weapon.
"Mr Fangzheng, where did you buy this weapon?"
Black Cat finally couldn't help but ask. As a person with a deep-rooted chuunibyou brain, Black Cat had to admit that this bloody, violent, and handsome single-handed greatsword looked really evil!
Although there were a lot of random adjectives in it, Sheyan just pretended that he didn't see them.
As for why Black Cat was so sure that the greatsword was bought and not dropped from a monster …. Well, after following Fangzheng for so long, almost everyone knew about his' Black Face Aura 'buff.
There was no need to do that.
"I made it myself."
Fangzheng glared at Black Cat. Even if I can't loot a two-handed sword, you don't have to be so sure that I bought it. Do you think I don't care about my reputation?
"Eh? Mr Fangzheng, you're not a blacksmith, are you? "
"I've learned a hidden skill – Blueprint."
Of course, Fangzheng wouldn't hide such trivial things from his companions.
"This skill allows me to create exclusive weapon blueprints. Of course, because my blueprint level is very low and the materials I use are very ordinary, it doesn't have special attributes like your weapons. I can only get a feel for it from this aspect."
"But it looks really cool!"
Youji came over excitedly and looked curiously at the greatsword in Fangzheng's hand.
"But ….. it looks a little too fierce."
"If you want, I can also customize a weapon that can transform."
Fangzheng didn't mind. On the contrary, he was trying to persuade them patiently like a strange uncle trying to trick a little girl to see a goldfish with a lollipop.
"What do you think? Doesn't it look cool? It's even easier to use. Not only can it increase the speed of a one-handed weapon, it can also increase the attack range and damage after transformation. If you don't want to use ordinary materials, you can find rare materials to forge weapons. Black Cat, do you want a scythe? I can help you. "
"R-really?"
Sure enough, Black Cat's eyes lit up when she heard about such a chuunibyou weapon.
"I want it! Mr. Fangzheng, please give me this blueprint! I want to name it myself … .well, let's call it the Scythe of Fate! "
"Then …. Brother Fangzheng, can I have one too? My one-handed sword doesn't look good …. "
"Me too, Mr. Fangzheng!"
With Black Cat taking the lead, the other girls naturally gathered around. In fact, they had long been eyeing Fangzheng's transformable greatsword. They originally thought that Fangzheng bought it from someone, but when they found out that it was actually made by Fangzheng, they immediately became excited.
"No problem. Leave it to me."
Looking at the girls swarming over, Fangzheng patted his chest. This was also his plan. Since he couldn't loot a weapon himself, then everyone would use custom-made weapons! As for the dropped equipment, he would sell them all for money!
As the saying goes, don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality. He couldn't be the only one who couldn't loot a weapon!
