Chapter 280: The Black Lily Of Death

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Emily never thought that killing this powerful creature would have earned her a hidden reward.

A game menu immediately appeared in front of her and a system notification popped up.

[Please select a customized weapon: (1) Close Combat Weapon (2) Long Range Weapon]

Emily immediately tapped the second option.

[Long Range Weapon custom options: Bow and arrows, Stealth weapons, Firearms, Energy aggregators…]

After numerous selections, a template of a white sniper rifle appeared before her. There were many parameters and recommended schemes beside the template. There was also a feedback column at the bottom.

Emily knew her way around sniper rifles extremely well, so she ignored all the recommendations and began making her own configurations. She made it based on her personal favorite weapon in reality, The Kiss of the Black Lily.

At this moment, Emily was like a kid in a candy store, rather than a ruthless killer.

Meanwhile, at Tong Gua’s forge in the Beiqi Mansion of the Dead…

A shirtless Tong Gua was pounding a piece of fine cold spirit ore with a hammer in his right hand.

“Fuck, why isn’t she done yet? She really thinks she’s making an artifact!” Tong Gua felt restless as he glanced up at the number of repeated parameters.

This was the first time he had faced a customer with such a complicated request. If it were other players who were customizing their weapons, he would have probably completed their request by now. However, this time was different. This was an order from Lu Wu, and he had been instructed to build it in the given amount of time.

He thought that it was almost done, but he realized that this customer’s weapon configurations were all her own. None of his recommendations had been considered. In fact, she ignored them completely. This greatly exhausted Tong Gua as he could only modify the spiritual ore’s purity and shape bit by bit.

Clang! The helpless Tong Gua had nowhere to release his frustration and anger, so he vented his resentment on the spiritual ore.

Once Emily was done setting her sniper rifle’s parameters, Tong Gua could finally speed up his forging.

Tong Gua’s powerful forging skills were undeniable, as he pounded relentlessly on the spiritual ore, gradually bending and twisting it into the form of a black sniper rifle.

When his work was almost done, Tong Gua prepared to throw the rifle into the forging oven for enchantment.

Suddenly, additional feedback from Emily came in again, “Make the rifle parts modular. I must be able to disassemble the rifle quickly at any time, and reassemble the parts differently into another weapon.”

This left Tong Gua utterly dumbfounded. He stared at the already-formed sniper rifle template and felt the urge to kill someone.

Wouldn’t this mean he had to do it all over again?

All he could feel now was anger, endless anger. This player better not come to the Mansion of the Dead or else I will show her the meaning of true happiness!

However, Tong Gua realized that there was a problem. Since he did not know anything about firearms, how was he supposed to forge all the different components?

Tong Gua was stuck, having no idea where to start. Suddenly, multiple drawings appeared in his mind as he heard Bei Li’s voice.

“Follow these blueprints! After you’ve strengthened it with the enchantment, pass it over to me!”

Barrel, muzzle brake, optical pupil-focusing sights, sensor assembly, laser rangefinder, grip, buttstock, magazine, barrel, bullet box, bracket, rifle groove, trigger cocking lever, various high-precision screws, bolt, hammer, firing pin, safety, locking mechanism, recoil spring, hammer, iron resistance, shell hook, ejector, magazine…

Tong Gua almost killed himself when he saw the blueprints. All these just to make one weapon? And not multiple weapons?

Tong Gua looked glumly at Xiao Tian who was lying on his bed and scrolling through the forum. Resentment began to fill his eyes.

Xiao Tian noticed Tong Gua’s resentful stare and turned around quickly, “Boss Tong Gua, don’t look at me like that… I don’t know how to do this!”

“Why don’t you learn? I can teach you. As the saying goes, learn a skill for a better tomorrow…”

“No no no! I’m too dumb. I don’t have enough talent to forge anything. It’s better if I don’t ruin your reputation!”

“I don’t care…” Tong Gua said grudgingly.

Still, the task had to be completed. Tong Gua took out a few more cold pieces of spirit ore and threw them into the forging oven, as the hammer in his hand started pounding once again.

After two hours of relentless pounding, all the components for the weapon were finished and assembled. Tong Gua was so exhausted that he lay still on the ground.

“Anyone here, please receive the parcel!”

As Tong Gua finished speaking, a ray of light swept over, and all the firearm components on the forging table disappeared.

“Not bad. As a reward, here are 200 soul coins for your trouble. Kindly check and accept them!” Bei Li’s mischievous voice rang out.

Tong Gua had recently gotten into a lot of debt while playing cards. He could not even afford Wood Spirit wine and was anxious to earn money to pay off his debt. This reward of 200 soul coins immediately made Tong Gua’s anguish disappear.

After collecting Tong Gua’s weapon components in the Artifact Channel, Bei Li put on a serious expression and adjusted the frame of her glasses as she readied herself to give the sniper rifle components a second round of enchantment. This would make its performance more suitable for the mech and optimize the parameters of Emily’s customized weapon.

After everything was done, a weapon with a deep black metallic luster appeared.

[Unnamed Level 1 (Growth weapon)]:

Item Details: Produced by Tong Gua’s Forge. An Epic Level sniper rifle that has gone through two degrees of enchantment, designed by an unknown expert. There are 32 internal components that can be disassembled and assembled into a new type of firearm. (Available after 80th Level)

Item Level: Epic Growth type. (Can be reshaped by the owner’s shooting style)

After looking at the weapon with satisfaction, Bei Li sent the weapon to Emily’s personal channel with a nod.

Lu Wu took out his little book and wrote Emily’s name in it.

There was now an additional member in the Gifted Level players book. Lu Wu couldn’t help but feel happy.

The reason why Bei Li made the gun herself this time was because both of them recognized Emily’s talent and ability. They also felt that she had great potential.

[Game Notification: Your weapon has arrived. Kindly receive and check it out!]

Emily, who was still dreaming about customizing her own weapon, immediately opened her channel and removed the sniper rifle excitedly.

Her gaze was instantly drawn toward a lily that was outlined in black on the buttstock.

It looked as if it was blooming and wilting at the same time.

A black light surrounded the body of the gun and the black lily appeared to be constantly changing its form under a stream of light. It was so beautiful that Emily fell in love with it at once.

Click!

A clear mechanical sound was heard as she pulled on the trigger.

What a great weapon! This feeling reminded her of her lost gun, the Kiss of the Black Lily.

She then removed the gun magazine and tried loading it in order to get a better feel of it. To her surprise, she found a purple bullet inside with a black lily engraved on it.

[Black Lily (Special Bullet)]:

Item Details: A free gift that’s included with the customized weapon. This limited edition item cannot be repurchased once depleted.

Item Effect: Damage is tripled, with Level 5 penetration (50% disruption, Upper limit set to 10,000 points).

(Attention: Since the Underworld exists in real life, the disruption has an upper limit. For example, the beginner’s level bullet-proof vest, even though it has 10% disruption, can only have a maximum of 200 defense points. Another example is the Ghost Emperor Level biological data that has a defense of 10,000 defense points. It’s obviously unrealistic to use a beginner’s level bullet-proof vest to break a 10% defense, hence the upper limit is set.)

The effect of this bullet shocked Emily.

What an amazing concept of triple damage!

She thought about the frightening power of this gun, combined with her killing style which was mainly head and neck shots that caused critical damage. If these are all tripled, with an addition of a 50% disruption, then I would be unstoppable!

Emily punched the air in excitement. With the bullet, she believed that one shot was enough to beat that silverback demon gorilla that she had previously encountered.

This bullet was a work of art, so Emily felt reluctant to use it.

After much thought, she didn’t place the bullet back into the rifle magazine, but into her channel instead.

This would be her deadly friend in the future.

[Game Notification: Please name your customized weapon!]

The appearance of the game notification stunned Emily for a moment. Then, the corner of her lips then curled up into a smile:

“The Kiss of the Black Lily!”

[Naming Successful. This weapon has been named: Kiss of the Black Lily]

Now that the naming was done, Emily opened her shop menu and clicked on the weapon forging menu. She placed Kiss of the Black Lily on the upgrade column and placed her Dream Eater on the right side.

[Confirm disposal of weapon? Once confirmed, Dream Eater will be turned into spiritual ore (experience points) and will be absorbed by the Kiss of the Black Lily. As a result, the weapon will be permanently destroyed.]

Confirm!

After clicking on the confirm button, Dream Eater began to break down. It turned into multiple rays of light and rushed towards the Kiss of the Black Lily.

Bang!

The right column turned into a pile of black ash as rays of light encircled the Kiss of the Black Lily, automatically upgrading it to Level 24.

Emily’s eyes were filled with excitement as she watched the Kiss of the Black Lily become even more beautiful.

After removing the weapon, Emily disassembled and then reassembled the components.

After an hour of disassembling and reassembling, Emily became familiar with the weapon inside and out.

She reassembled it once more before loading it with rechargeable bullets. Her heart pounded with the desire to kill.

It’s time to test it!

Creatures within Emily’s 1,000 yard radius immediately became her target.

One shot, one kill!

At that moment, Emily seemed like the God of Death, using the Kiss of the Black Lily to send kisses of death to creatures within her radius.

The most critical damage could not be harvested so easily.

The unbelievable effectiveness of Emily’s shots shocked even Lu Wu, who was watching behind the scenes.

Emily had now really become a black lily, exuding a deadly fragrance and filling everyone with fear.
