Chapter 140 23. I, Mason Cooper, did not cheat! --Added update for "Prisoner on the Throne" brothers【310】
The Sorting Hat said it would give Mason a gift, and of course the young man was very happy.
But when he actually took the thing out of the Sorting Hat's "belly", the smile on Mason's face completely disappeared.
"It's all broken into pieces like this"
He was sitting in his basement alchemy room, looking at the fragments piled on the table in front of him, his face filled with sadness for a moment. Not that this stuff is bad.
It's actually very good, but it's really unusable after it's broken into pieces like this.
"Stop being picky."
The Sorting Hat placed by Mason on the table has a vague human face dented in the black hat, and its mouth moves and says:
"Rowner Ravenclaw attached quite powerful wisdom enlightenment magic to this crown, and that magic is maintained based on the crown.
So as long as the crown is intact, it will still work.
All you have to do is remelt it with your magical fire from hell. ”
That's what he said, but the originally beautiful silver eagle crown on the table in front of Mason was shattered into pieces, as if it had been shattered from the outside by some huge force.
Not only was the crown itself twisted like a broken iron bar, but the huge emeralds and fourteen magic diamonds that were supposed to be embellished on it were shattered into pieces.
The iconic flying eagle decoration was incinerated by some kind of flame.
This makes the relic of the great wizard look worthless on the outside. Mason previously complained that the Sorting Hat was a "junk king", but now it seems that the young man's complaint is absolutely accurate.
Perhaps he also felt that what he took out was a bit shabby. The Sorting Hat coughed violently a few times, then lowered his voice to persuade:
"You can be considered a prodigious alchemist, a member of the magic circle. Don't just look at things by their appearance, the essence is the most important.
Smelt it quickly and bring it with you. It will definitely be good for you. ”
Under its urging, Mason reached out and held the horrible crown fragment in front of him in his left hand. However, he did not call the magic fire immediately, but waited for the information tag to pop up.
He would not smelt it until he was completely sure that it was harmless to him.
Soon, what Mason wanted to see popped into his eyes:
Ravenclaw's Diadem/Crown of Wisdom/Crown of Inspiration
Quality: Legendary Alchemy/Enchanting/Jewelry Processing Items·Perfect Craftsmanship
Condition: Severely damaged·irrepairable
Item effect:
1. Crown of Wisdom:
Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw is a pure spellcaster who has spent her life pursuing magical wisdom. She regards the blessing of wisdom as the best gift to give to others.
In her later years, she made the gold crown herself with the help of her friend Helga Hufflepuff.
The legendary wizard used his lifelong magic knowledge to cast a mysterious magic on this crown. Anyone who wears the crown will be enlightened with their own personal wisdom.
All Crafting proficiency gains are doubled while wearing Ravenclaw's diadem. Manufacturing skills increase the chance of producing [Excellent] and above quality items.
After the branch skill reaches Level 6, the probability of producing [Ultimate] and above craft items increases.
Note:
Because Ms. Ravenclaw hates fighting throughout her life, this improvement effect can only be effective on manufacturing branch skills, but not on combat skills.
2. Invisible blessings:
The item has been severely damaged beyond repair, but Ms. Ravenclaw's blessing of "wisdom and enlightenment" only uses the golden crown as the carrier of magic, so reshaping the item will not invalidate the blessing.
Made by: Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff
Item description: That hat is right, the inside of some things is ten thousand times more important than the outside! You big fool who judges people by their appearance!
Tip: This crown remnant can be shaped into any shape.
"I'm a big fool!"
After seeing the single but powerful effect of this unspectacular wreckage, Mason decisively admitted his mistake. He solemnly apologized to the Sorting Hat next to him who was sighing and lamenting that young people today are not discerning enough and said:
"Please forgive my poor eyesight for almost missing this unique treasure. Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Hat."
"That's pretty much it."
Seeing Mason's sincere apology, the Sorting Hat couldn't pursue anything further. It let out a "cowardly" laugh and quickly fell into a peaceful sleep.
Mason looked at the pile of crown remains in his hand. He thought about it and then called on the magic fire to reshape the metal fragments in his hand.
Relying on the talent of precise shaping given by Flame Manipulation Level 2, the broken crown remnants were reshaped into a pair of golden round glasses in Mason's hands in less than two minutes.
They are very similar to the elegant glasses that scholars often wear.
Of course, there is only the frame. Mason plans to pick a few pieces of jewelry he has on hand to grind lenses and practice jewelry processing at the same time.
There is an ancient inscription on the inside of the left temple of these gold-rimmed glasses. It is in old English. The translation is the advice that the great wizard left to future generations that was originally on Ravenclaw's diadem:
< br>
"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth a human being has."
"Thank you, great wizard."
Mason looked at his work with satisfaction.
He put the pair of gold-rimmed glasses without lenses on the bridge of his nose and pushed them up to make sure they wouldn't suddenly slip off. Then he felt itchy and planned to try out the effect of this manufacturing artifact.
He opened his suitcase and took out a few pieces of magic metal with [toughness] qualities, and then called up the drawings of future firearms that he had collected in Judy's studio on the light screen of the character card.
He plans to complete the weapon upgrades of Team K in the next few days.
Let's start with the "exclusive weapon" he promised to Erbuk. Of course, the reason for choosing this gun is because it is the easiest weapon to complete among all the drawings that Mason "purchased" from Judy.
This is not a rechargeable technological weapon, nor is it the kind of smart weapon that Judy most admires that requires the implantation of an intelligent prosthetic body to be perfectly controlled.
It is a kinetic weapon.
According to the classification of the science and technology system in Judy's world, it is actually the product of gunpowder weapons developed to the next stage under the current technology.
This weapon contains almost no high-tech components, and only uses exquisite design and special structure to extend the system of converting gunpowder into kinetic energy to produce lethality to the extreme.
But such a weapon is also difficult.
Because its production drawings specifically indicate that this weapon needs to be made of composite metal to avoid the excessive kinetic energy when it is activated, which may cause the firearm to disintegrate and accidentally injure the gun owner.
Materials Science.
As we all know, under any civilization or system, there is a bottomless pit. Under other circumstances, Mason can only slowly try to make composite metals.
But he was lucky enough to have obtained Will's forging code from Will Turner, the famous ghost ship captain, legendary pirate and master blacksmith in the Caribbean world.
That 18th-century handbook records a special metal made from the fusion of multiple magic metals. That is the material used in the Flying Dutchman's triple ghost main cannon!
If that's not enough, the metal-making array of the two alchemist brothers also records the various magical metals they encountered while wandering around the world.
There are so many good materials, more than enough to make a good gun.
"Get on with it, man."
Mason stretched his hands and used magic fire to burn several metals to complete the shaping. During the process, Mason suddenly thought of another thing.
He curled his lips and took the phoenix egg out of the suitcase, placed it on the shelf in front of the "out of favor" alchemy crucible, and lit a fire to let it burn the huge egg.
Although it is definitely not as satisfying as the magic flame.
But the dome still vibrated slightly as it was being burned, as if it was enjoying itself.
Because kinetic energy weapons contain almost no high-tech components, it only took Mason thirty minutes to smelt and shape all the components needed for this kinetic energy pistol.
After waiting for the components to cool down, he began to assemble them according to a design idea that was very different from modern firearms. He also found a piece of dragon blood wood in the Hogwarts forest to make the handle.
The finished firearm is very beautiful.
The silver gun body has the appearance of a traditional revolver.
However, the gun body is very thick and has a rectangular structure. The built-in magazine fits tightly with the barrel when it is inserted into the gun body, which minimizes the kinetic energy loss when the gunpowder is activated.
Only half of its trigger guard looks like it's broken off, and the golden trigger creates a "missing" aesthetic.
The red dragon's blood wood handle adds a bloodthirsty feel to this silver heavy pistol.
This gun is very heavy.
With Mason's now enhanced strength, it will feel heavy when picked up, but it is very well balanced and does not appear "top-heavy".
It's perfect for Erbub's close-quarters "gun fighting" fighting style. You can even use this thing as a war hammer when necessary.
In addition to the fact that the finished shot of this gun is so beautiful that it is like a killing art, Mason could clearly feel a "power" constantly coming from the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose during the entire production process.
In addition to keeping your mind fully focused throughout the process, there is also a feeling of "inspiration bursting" that constantly pushes your thinking to become active.
It can be said that this production process is the most perfect production process since Mason unlocked the manufacturing skills.
Even before the gun body was assembled, Mason had a vague feeling that he would make a truly "high-quality" weapon this time.
At this time, the young man put the gun in front of his eyes and wiped it carefully with a rag. The information note also popped up at this time:
Archangel【Precision Kinetic Energy Revolver】
Quality: Epic Engineering Item·Outstanding Craftsmanship
Weapon characteristics: Critical hit·Intensified damage·Heavy hammer stun·Weak recoil·Indestructible (provided by weapon materials)·Bleeding (provided by Dragon Blood Wood handle accessory)
Weapon status: Can be further modified to improve quality·Requires Engineering Lv6
Producer: Mason Cooper
Item description: Is such a fine weapon really made by your pig's hooves? You must be using a cheat device, right?
Successfully complete the production of an epic quality and outstanding engineering item, the wisdom enlightenment effect will take effect, and the engineering skill proficiency will be increased by X120.
"Yes, I'm just using a cheating device. If you don't accept it, bite me!"
Mason had long been displeased with the damn item descriptions that were always provoking him.
He pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with satisfaction, smiled proudly, grabbed the refreshing drink next to him and took a sip into his mouth.
Since he was in such good shape tonight, he decided to make a few more weapons in pursuit of victory.
You cannot fight with just one gun, and no matter how powerful the revolver is, its six-round ammunition capacity determines that it cannot fight alone.
Mason also needs new weapons to replace the initial weapon series of critical shotguns that can no longer keep up with the rhythm. The Kite Man, who is responsible for reconnaissance and fire suppression, also needs a truly heavy weapon to realize his "life value."
And Jack, Angelina, and Lady Elizabeth, who are going to see the world together this time and hunt down Mr. Sandstorm, also need their own weapons for self-defense.
The only good news is that Zha Kang, a spellcaster, is very resistant to firearms, so Mason doesn't need to worry about his weapons.
This inadvertently reduced Mason's workload.
Wait, you said there is another member of Team K?
Yes, it does.
But when Mason left the Star Castle, he clearly saw Judy secretly stuffing a few things into the hands of Barbara, who played well with her.
Therefore, the captain does not need to worry about Bat Girl's weapons.
Well, having learned the valuable skill of "eating soft food" at a young age, I can only say that Barbara Gordon really has a bright future.
——
Early the next morning, while Harley, who had been drunk last night, was still sleeping soundly, Poison Ivy had already gotten up early and yawned and entered the basement to practice alchemy.
She is a really good student.
Relying on the alchemy notes of Old K left by Mason, he is now able to make healing potions by himself. To be honest, the fact that Mason's run-down shop can still be open today is all thanks to Poison Ivy's hard work.
But when Poison Ivy opened the door, she was startled.
Nothing else.
The entire basement was filled with scraps from smelting various metals, and where the alchemy crucible was originally placed, a large egg was placed on the fire for barbecue.
His alchemy "mentor", Mr. Mason, was muttering to himself with a pair of dark circles under his eyes as he assembled a very strange-looking rifle.
On the workbench behind him, there was already a complex and intimidating light machine gun and three pistols with different shapes and colors.
These things decorated the basement like a stronghold of a black gun gang.
But Poison Ivy has also been eaten before.
As Gotham's top villain, she is no stranger to these killing weapons, but the appearance of these guns made by Mason is different from the gunpowder weapons she knows.
This piqued Poison Ivy's interest.
She glanced at Mason, who was already a little crazy, and crept closer to the workbench, reaching out to try to pick up the black and gray heavy pistol.
But it sank and almost fell to the ground.
Good guy!
This gun is almost as big as an iron block of the same size. Is it really for ordinary people?
"Buzz buzz"
Just as Poison Ivy was looking at this simple and elegant kinetic energy revolver, there was suddenly a strange sound behind her that sounded like a microwave heating.
She turned back sharply.
They saw that Mason, who had two panda eyes, had already picked up the complex assembled rifle in his hand. The weird sound was coming from the body of this gun.
It's like the charging sound of some kind of dangerous object.
The black muzzle was aimed at him. The almost straight lines of the gun body and the modular structure gave the weapon a cold feeling unique to metal creations.
The bullpup gun body is pressed against Mason's shoulder. The unique design of the grip and gun body makes it look like a poisonous snake that chooses people to eat.
The best part is that the gun is like a living thing.
The moment it is activated, the charging acceleration module of its gun body pops out like the guide rail of an electromagnetic gun and then closes again under the action of the adaptive ballistic correction module, eventually forming a shooting posture with wings spread out.
This immersive technological experience alone is enough to prove that this thing is nothing short of extraordinary.
"Pa"
The charged rifle made a low muffled sound as the firing pin moved forward when Mason pulled the trigger, but without a bullet loaded it was not lethal.
But that ferocious momentum still came to him.
"Don't touch these new guns."
Mason put down the rifle in his hand, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses without lenses, glanced at the pistol in Ivy's hand, and said:
"This 'King Kong' is not finished yet. I will come back after get off work in the afternoon to complete the process of enchanting and breaking spirits. If possible, you can help me deal with the raw materials after the alchemy is completed.
I put them all in the drawer and wrote down the specific process on paper. ”
"Okay."
Ivy looked at Mason's shaky look with a fairy look on his face with some worry, and then saw him skillfully take out a bottle of refreshing potion and drink it.
After a few seconds, she said:
"These weapons are not for normal people, right? And was your gun charging just now? Is this a new weapon you developed?"
"I'm just picking on people's opinions, but they are really good."
Mason said casually and humbly:
"Don't tell anyone else, lest you cause trouble."
After saying that, he glanced at the "Epic Technical Precision Rifle Widow Maker" in his hand, smiled, and placed it among the pile of firearms behind him.
Finally, Mason took a look at the shiny Lv5 engineering on the character card and had to admit that he had indeed obtained a "cheating device" in the true sense.
He picked up his hat and put it on his head, straightened his clothes and got ready to go to work.
The moment he opened the door, he said in his heart:
"Thanks, Mr. Hat.
In order to express my sincere gratitude, I decided to put the pursuit of those traitors on the agenda as soon as I dealt with the current affairs!
I promise, we will all get what we want. "(End of Chapter)
