Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 372 The Witch's Offering

Bai Xie carried two heavy metal boxes.

"Phew, this is [Banned Bullet], 2000 rounds per box, 4 rounds in total."

"Mr. Zhou, please take inventory."

Zhou Yi said: "No, I definitely believe you on this."

He handed over a light box, which contained the light seeds for payment.

The witch hunter next to her had already opened the ammunition box. She grabbed a finger-thick cylindrical bullet from it, stuffed it directly into her mouth, and began to eat the bullet.

Bai Xi, who was standing next to him, gestured to "follow me" and took Zhou Yi aside and whispered, "The witch hunter is still young and has a bad temper. Don't bother with her."

"Isn't she different from you?" Zhou Yi asked.

"We are both Weapon Princesses, we were just born at different times. Don't look at me like this, I have been on the battlefield since the era of the United Resistance Army."

She smiled and said, "It's not an exaggeration to say that I've been through a lot of battles."

Zhou Yi further confirmed: "You mean, the mechatronic life, the light nano species, and humans formed a joint resistance army to fight against the Celestial Beings... at that time?"

"Correct."

Bai Xi nodded: "Our first batch of weapon princesses have enough experience and know how to restrain their desires and instincts. But the witch hunter was born in peacetime. The child is only five years old now. Although she has great talent, she is still too young after all."

The witch hunter turned out to be a five-year-old child.

Zhou Yi had mixed feelings.

But speaking of it, it’s also the fifth year since Wasteland Company was founded, so it’s a coincidence.

"Everyone dotes on her. But she is very ambitious. However, because she is too young, her abilities and self-development are not yet complete. Therefore, she cannot beat us in internal competitions, and she often hides away and cries by herself."

The rabbit-eared girl showed a helpless look: "In a battle, individuals with different mechanisms have a certain restraint relationship with each other."

"She's great in one-on-one combat, but there may not be room for her to show her strength on the real battlefield. Every Weapon Princess has her own time and environment to fight in. As long as there is no generational gap in the life level, there is no absolute saying of who is the strongest..."

Zhou Yi nodded.

He deeply agreed with this point.

"But in free fire mode, the witch hunter is indeed no match for most weapon girls. Because she is not the type to fight alone, she can only exert her power in coordinated combat."

"She expands and strengthens the abilities of the bearer."

Bai Xi introduced: "In other words, the stronger the holder is, the stronger the power she can exert."

Zhou Yi asked: "What is the specific mechanism?"

"This is considered the elemental ability of each weapon princess. The fewer people who know about it, the better the effect. But since you have her, it's okay to tell you."

Bai Xie said solemnly: "The witch hunter can extend the ability of the holder through bullets."

"The more common Seahorse Archer's [High-Speed Laser Gun] has a range of 75 meters. If it is released through the Witch Hunter's bullets and gun barrel, the range can be extended to 175 meters, and it also has the [Forbidden Altar] effect."

"This is what a witch hunter is good at. She is a top combat assistant."

Zhou Yi hissed when he heard it.

The mechanism of the witch hunter is to increase the range and have the additional function of blocking active abilities.

The key is.

His strongest attack skill, [Life Strike], can exchange life for life. But it can only be used in close combat, and the conditions in actual combat are very limited.

Now with the witch hunter's mechanism, the shooting range is directly extended to 100 meters!
Life Shot has a bullet mode!

There is a lot to be done in the future.

Zhou Yi glanced behind him.

The silver-haired weapon girl was still eating bullets one by one.

She did this more like working than eating, with a serious look on her face. She would check every bullet to make sure it was intact before swallowing it.

Zhou Yi asked Bai Xi again: "Is there a place here where we can test fire or test our capabilities?"

"Of course. We have a shooting range to test the performance and combat effectiveness of many weapons."

Bai Xi said, "I'll take you there."

After the witch hunter swallowed all the bullets, Bai Xi took Zhou Yi and his party out of the water plant, bid farewell to Hong Xing who was guarding here, and walked to an open space nearby.

She said, "Wait a minute, I'll contact Sister Qing Zheng. She's in charge of the shooting range."

After a while.

A blue circle of light appeared on the ground.

Bai Xi walked in first and waved to Zhou Yi, "Everyone, stand here. We are going to the shooting range."

Zhou Yi, Yuan Xiao and the witch hunter all walked in.

The green light swept over everyone from top to bottom - including the golden pen-shaped atmospheric creature on Zhou Yi's chest.

It seems to be confirming each one.

Zhou Yi suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness, and the space around him seemed to be distorted and stretched.

"Don't worry, this is normal." Bai Xi smiled and said, "Our [Sky Road] leads directly to the shooting range. It is safe and fast."

Ten seconds later.

All abnormalities disappeared.

Zhou Yi found himself inside a strange high wall.

This is a large square. The ground is made of porous stone slabs. It has a strong rebound feeling when you step on it, a bit like the rubber floor in the gym.

Two strange black rubber men emerged from the ground, one tall and one short, with circles of target rings on their bodies and a red bull's eye in the middle.

The two rubber men faced Zhou Yi and his group and made boxing gestures, as if challenging them.

“This is the target at our shooting range.”

Bai Xi pointed at them and said, "Just shoot at them. Since this is a basic test, we don't have the ability to dodge at high speed or counterattack in actual combat. This is just a test of the damage tolerance."

The words just finished.

Two bangs were heard in Zhou Yi's ears.

The palm at the front of the witch hunter's wrist has turned into a silver double-barreled gun barrel, which is smoking.

Zhou Yi noticed that the rubber man who was hit had two more bullet holes on his body.

Two pieces of information appeared above the two bullet holes.

[Damage 822, with "Banned Altar" effect for 3 seconds]

[Damage 822, with "Banned Altar" effect for 3 seconds]

The damage of a single bullet from the witcher is 822 points.

Zhou Yi remembered that the damage of Poseidon's B+ level fish killer was 360-994, but each shot required a cooldown of 16 seconds.

The output of the witch hunter can be stabilized at 822 per second. The strength gap between level A and level B is obvious.

The "forbidden altar" effect is very useful in actual combat. It can lock the opponent's active skills all the time, and continuous firing can suppress and seal the ability field.

However, what Zhou Yi wanted to test most at the moment was another one.

"Witch Hunter, I need you to extend my abilities."

The silver-haired weapon princess said, "Put your hand inside me."

Zhou Yi tried to put his left hand on her shoulder, but the witch hunter grabbed it and moved it to her back.

The entire arm was swallowed by her back.

Zhou Yi grabbed a delicate, multi-sectioned metal structure.

It feels cold and smooth to the touch.

His finger pressed against a metal trigger.

"That's right there, my spine."

The witch hunter said: "Unfold the ability and pull the trigger to use my [Witch Hunter Ridge].

When holding the spine, Zhou Yi found that he and the Weapon Princess were connected as one.

The witcher's body turned into an extension of her arms.

You can even read the other person's thoughts clearly.

She had one thing on her mind.

—Fire, fire, fire now!

The two sides became one.

At this moment, the witch hunter suddenly said: "Don't read my mind, focus on firing and fighting, this is the most important thing."

"okay."

Zhou Yi came back to his senses.

He adjusted his breathing and activated [Life Strike].

The witch hunter's gun barrel flashed, and she shot at the target in front of her.

The rubber man staggered.

[Damage 1822, with "Banned Altar" effect for 3 seconds]

Zhou Yi was very satisfied.

I just dealt the minimum damage of a life strike, using 1000 health points to deal 1000 damage.

It also stacks with the Witch Hunter's damage.

The biggest range flaw of the Life Shot is solved by this external connection.

From now on, I will be able to participate in the battlefield of A-level life!
Zhou Yi felt very happy.

Although it is safe to be a commander in the rear, it is still more exciting to fight directly on the battlefield.

Add me in as well, I’m not very good at fighting.

……

After firing more than a dozen rounds in a row, the Witch Hunter's accuracy and stability were quite good.

Zhou Yi raised a question: "Do I have to hold your spine with my hands to use the [Demon Hunting Spine Chamber]?"

"Yes."

"Or maybe it would be easier to just revert to my pure weapon state and hold me."

Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let's just leave it like this."

No wonder Bai Xie said that the Witch Hunter is the top auxiliary on the battlefield.

Her abilities are hidden enough.

The witch hunter has not yet flowed into the outside world to participate in the war, and there is no data about her.

This allows Zhou Yi to use [Life Strike] to instantly inflict high destructive power and kill the target enemy with one blow.

The Weapon Princess does have to do her best to hide her elemental abilities.

But soon, Zhou Yi realized that raising a witch hunter was not easy.

"Half of the bullets are used up."

The witch hunter opened her hand as a matter of course: "I also want bullets, buy them for me."

Zhou Yi: “…”

She had 4000 rounds of bullets and she shot them like it was a piece of cake.

The son doesn't feel bad about using his grandfather's money.

It’s really hard to raise children from wealthy families…

Bai Xi, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it any longer. She stood up and said, "You have to know that Mr. Zhou is your owner now. You can't ask for all kinds of resources without limit like you did in the past. You have to consider him."

"Don't be willful!"

In response to Bai Xi's reprimand, the witch hunter looked annoyed: "I am so annoyed! How can I become stronger if you don't feed me bullets! It was you who refused to give me bullets before!"

Zhou Yi immediately said: "I'll buy another 1 rounds."

"2 rounds."

The witch hunter raised two fingers: "At least today, I want to have a good fight!"

"Row."

Zhou Yi nodded.

"Don't worry, I will use them sparingly in the future." The witcher added, "I'm not barbaric or unreasonable, nor am I extravagant. I just need a lot of bullets to improve myself. I will prove that these bullets are valuable in the future."

The child looked suffocated.

I never had a good time playing in the past.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Do as much as you can with the money you have. We still have some savings now, so we can give you more money. If we don't have money in the future, we will have to tighten our belts and live a hard life."

The witch hunter nodded and smiled for the first time: "That's right, unlike the old man who is always stingy with me even though he has money..."

"presumptuous!"

Bai Xi shouted and glared at her.

The witcher snorted, but said no more.
