Chapter 205 Completeness and Disintegration
None of these pistols are the kind of inferior goods that are shoddily made by recycling worn-out parts and reassembling them. The latter are usually only used by street gangsters who are new to the industry. Every time you fire a gun, you run the risk of exploding the barrel.
The "Future Overlook Series" precision pistols of Timeline, the "Permit Type III" medium-range kinetic energy pistols of Southern Region Heavy Industry, and even the "Tie Belt" pistol independently developed by Enlightenment.
A total of Seven of them are all good stuff.
These were obtained from the enlightened ones at Song Shi's request.
Even with his current level of combat power, Enlightenment still had some matching firearms, but those were either too large or had to be used with prosthetics, so in the end Song Shi just picked a few pistols - in a sense , for him, the pistol is more useful.
It’s not about power, but about “accuracy” and “distance”.
Like a drone hovering hundreds of meters in the sky, that is a distance that [Scorched Earth] cannot reach for the time being.
Of course, you can actively release psychic flames and easily destroy the drone with one blow, but that would be very cost-effective.
It's different when it comes to firearms. These pistols are specially designed for range and accuracy, and can easily hit targets thousands of meters away.
Through the effect of [Forged Flame], when needed, the pistol can be temporarily converted into a psychic weapon, and the bullets can be attached with psychic flames. With only a little psychic energy spent, most conventional targets can be burned out in one shot, saving effort. It is worry-free and easy to carry.
Just.
This by no means means that these high-end pistols are originally low in power.
——The weakest one among them can easily penetrate the protective armor of secondary units.
But at this moment, they are all useless!
Like hitting an impenetrable invisible wall, these roaring bullets stirred up red-gold ripples in the air, but it was difficult to take another step forward. They kept melting into iron slurry and dripping down.
"Okay." Song Shi raised his hand.
The next second, the barrage stopped abruptly.
Lapis Lazuli swung his mechanical arm, and the suspended pistols flew back to their original positions one after another.
It swings again, and the iron slag and bullet casings solidified on the ground rise up, gather together under the action of gravity, crush into a small ball, and throw it into the trash can.
Song Shi waited patiently for the other party to finish cleaning before speaking: "How do you feel?"
"Excellent. In terms of physical protection ability alone, it is equivalent to a riot police officer wearing an exoskeleton and full armor module. Lapis Lazuli replied cautiously: "In purely theoretical data evaluation, you can already ignore most non-sniper individual weapons."
"Even the Gauss sniper rifle can cause a certain degree of trajectory." Deflection and kinetic energy buffering, with your early warning intuition and reaction speed, you can rely on this to avoid long-range firepower in the conventional sense."
The omnic paused for a while. It seemed to be thinking about something, but in the end, it chose to speak.
"——Song Shi."
Lapis Lazuli asked cautiously: "According to the records in the database, the defensive effect of [Scorched Earth] should not be like this, at least not at this level of strength. Can you tell me what you did?"
Essentially, the ability of the psionic skill [Scorched Earth] is to transform the nearby environment into an environment suitable for the "Power of the Great Source: Fire". If explained in game terms, it would give the holder a series of benefits such as "increased mana recovery rate", "skill consumption reduction", "suppression of other attributes", "continuous damage caused" and other benefits.
The core of it is to spread the field, and the "defensive" and "offensive" routes based on this can only be regarded as an extension effect.
So, even if [Scorched Earth] chooses the "defensive" route, it can only withstand some small-caliber firepower at best. How can it reach the level just now?
"There is nothing to disclose." Song Shi snapped his fingers and removed the scorched earth - when he unfolded it just now, he specially controlled it to restrain the burning effect, otherwise the entire apartment would have been burned down. .
In such a cold weather, you can’t sleep on the street at night.
“First of all, I completed the ritual of offense and defense, making [Scorched Earth] truly ‘complete’.”
Song Shi took an ice puck from the wine glass and crushed half of it , and then put it on the table for a spin: "Look at this ball, I'm spinning it now - even if I use a lot of effort, it still won't spin for long."
The broken ice ball shook. He was swaying, his center of gravity was unstable, and he quickly stopped.
"Because it's not complete enough."
Song Shi took out another ice ball, this time without crushing it. He flicked it, and the latter spun quickly and steadily: "And now, when the ice ball is complete , after the center of gravity is stabilized, it can spin for a long time with just a little effort."
"When your [Scorched Earth] is complete, its effect will be improved in all aspects. The burden will be greater for those who have it. Of course, this is not a big problem."
Song Shi picked up the two hockey pucks and threw them back into the cup: "There is one more thing. I think this is more important. The key is that no matter how powerful a psychic skill is, it will ultimately require a psychic to use, control and perform it. You should understand that even the same psychic skill will have subtle differences in the hands of different psychics. "
“What a coincidence.”
He glanced at the omnic and said slowly: "I happen to have some experience in how to use scorched earth."
Seeing that Lapis Lazuli didn't speak after hearing this, the lights all over his body flickered, and he just stared silently. Looking at himself, Song Shi couldn't help it anymore and laughed loudly.
He laughed and stood up from the sofa: "Lapis Lazuli, please clean up the house."
"Well, I haven't been in the abyss for several days. I can't let myself be decadent anymore today. "Song Shi stretched and walked to the bathroom: "I'll take a shower first, you finish cleaning the house and adjust the deep dive chamber, and we'll go down and do some activities later -"
——Wow.
Hula.
The scalding hot water leaked down, slid over the tips of the black hair, and smashed into pieces on the naked body.
In the thick steam, Song Shi closed his eyes and exhaled.
The "Cha Ke Luo (Ultimate Edition)" live broadcast room just now was just a commonplace activity, and blocking it would not have any impact at all. But for Song Shi, this reminded him of the conversation he had with Chakoluo at the celebration banquet a few days ago.
A more accurate statement is to let Song Shi re-examine one thing.
He actually had some doubts before entering the Casting Light City, but his main goal at that time was to obtain [Rendering] and [Scorched Earth], so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Until now, "Nandou" is about to reach the peak of the second ring again, Song Shi finally has time to think about this matter again.
He wanted to know.
In a fifth circle psyker.
With the "Rebel" entering in person.
——Why did the enlightened person in the previous life fail in Casting Light City?
