Love, death, and false man

Chapter 54. Specialized Equipment
10/10—14:10
[The address for military supplies is Haijiao No. 1 Dance Hall, No. 30 Chaoyin Road, East District, Binhai City; the storage box number is 66.]

Inside the dance hall.

This time, Fang Yan was already quite adept at it. He ignored the young and beautiful figure instructor under the psychedelic lights and went straight to the locker. He no longer felt the pinch of paying 20 yuan for the ticket.

Give me item number 66.

Fang Yan tapped the countertop with two fingers.

The counter staff, having been implanted with some kind of suggestion, were activated and, without hesitation, went to retrieve the items from storage compartment number 66.

"Damn, this is really heavy. Sanwa, come help me lift it."

Two adult men carried the airtight black metal box onto the table; it was much larger than a regular suitcase.

Furthermore, Fang Yan had his liaison officer order weapons; there were two, not just one briefcase.

"Wait, buddy, when did you put this here? What's in it?"

The bald guy selling floral shirts at the counter was exhausted; his job of storing clothes turned into that of a mover.

"Don't worry."

Fang Yan picked up the suitcase and felt it was incredibly heavy. He carried it downstairs in one hand, and he probably would have to rest two or three times along the way.

Let's get the ride-hailing service sorted out first.

He had already booked a room at a four-star tourist hotel. After inquiring, he found that a monthly pass would be much cheaper, bringing the total to 14,000 yuan. Anyway, he had nowhere to spend the 50,000 yuan in his suitcase, so he might as well live it up this month.

After hailing a taxi, you still have to wait for a while.

Fang Yan pondered, "Should I go and see a posture teacher?"

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a figure that was so familiar he couldn't be more familiar with it.

"I'm so fucking angry!"

Fang Yan, carrying two briefcases, his neck veins bulging, left the dance hall as quickly as possible. He didn't want to imagine the consequences if the old man saw him.

10/10—14:56
Cloud S Hotel, 45th floor.

The suite's overall decor is a rather heavy, retro American style, featuring walnut wainscoting, palm leaf patterned wallpaper, and distressed, rounded-corner floor tiles. The interior designer is very creative, incorporating a pop art-inspired color-blocking effect in the soft furnishings. While using neutral colors, the overall effect is vibrant, without detracting from the overall aesthetic. This softens the heaviness of the American style and adds a touch of energy.

This suite at this height only has a semi-open viewing balcony, but the panoramic city views through the floor-to-ceiling windows are truly impressive.

But these things are not important to Fang Yan.

He has turned this room into his military equipment storage area and moved all his household items here.

The weapons were inventoried.

The firearms include the Colt M2000, MP5, and Barrett.

The new armament includes the M249 squad automatic weapon and the M32 rotary grenade launcher.

The ammunition for all types of firearms has been replenished. The armor-piercing and high-explosive rounds for the Barrett have nowhere to be used; so far, they have only been fired once when killing senior Lu Cheng.

The newly added firearms included 1,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition and 30 rounds of grenades, which were packed separately in two boxes, as one box was simply not enough to hold them all.

There were also five bundles of cash, but that didn't matter. If it was for mission expenditures, the Salvation Army would just blindly press zero; the numbers were meaningless.

Finally, there's the custom-made weapon Fang Yan had the organization customize, to match the characteristics of the Sinful Equipment.

Because Guilty Gear has a terrible ability. For example, extracting a gun mold not only requires projecting the gun itself, but also consuming extra Soulfire heat to project the ammunition. In addition, the complex kinetic energy conversion formula results in too much loss in the process, so the shot has no power at all.

Therefore, the simpler the kinetic energy formula, the better. Every unnecessary extra loss increases the required soul fire heat exponentially.

Chainsaws are things with relatively simple kinetic energy formulas. The owner of the power, the tentacle monster in the singularity, is also happy to project rotating cutting objects like ceiling fans.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, aside from compensating for overall combat capabilities, if we only consider maximizing lethality, the chainsaw is the most suitable for the characteristics of evil equipment.

However, this thing was too cumbersome and was only a melee weapon, so Fang Yan had to look to some uncommon things—things with simple power sources, unusable for combat under normal circumstances, but powerful weapons that could be projected at any time through the Sinister Equipment. He searched through all sorts of simple-powered machines, and even looked for inspiration in factory workshop equipment.

Finally, the most "wicked" equipment has been found.

That is the high-pressure water jet cutting technology, which is favored in the aerospace field because cold cutting does not change the chemical properties of materials.

By mixing abrasives such as garnet sand and corundum into high-pressure water to assist cutting, the cutting speed and thickness of the waterjet are greatly improved. Cutting ceramics and glass is just the most basic step; stone and alloys can also be cut in two with a single stroke.

When Fang Yan told his contact person his needs—to customize an arm armor that could fire water jets—the contact person was dumbfounded, clearly having never encountered such an outrageous request for a custom weapon.

Fortunately, after communication, the organization was able to come up with a solution no matter how outrageous it was. Moreover, Fang Yan explained that there was no need to consider the power source for electricity, which made things much simpler.

Fang Yan stared at the strange object on the bed, resting his chin on his hand in deep thought.

The object is entirely black, with welded seams, large rivets, and a heavy feel, resembling a large diesel punk-style arm guard. It is three centimeters thick and twenty centimeters long, and when worn on the forearm, it goes all the way up to the knuckles.

There is a round hole about the size of a beverage bottle cap at the back of the arm armor, used to inject water and abrasive, while the ultra-thin horizontal cut at the knuckles is used to spray high-pressure water jets to kill.

"Fuck, he's so handsome."

Fang Yan immediately put the arm armor on his hands. Perhaps it was made of an unknown metal material, because it didn't feel heavy and was much lighter than it looked, but it still weighed seven or eight pounds.

His strength far exceeds the average adult male, so using him is no problem at all.

Because this thing doesn't take electrical power sources into account at all, even if it has a built-in supercharger, it won't work under normal circumstances.

It can only be used in conjunction with Sinister Gear, so it is Fang Yan's exclusive weapon.

"Hold."

He did not remove the water-blade arm armor.

Because the projector has no static weight, water and abrasive cannot be added; a water jet arm armor must be used in conjunction with the projector.

After extracting the mold, it immediately generates itself on your hand and merges with your main body. If there are no unexpected circumstances, this will become your regular equipment.

Fang Yan was instantly excited and rushed to the hotel bathroom to conduct the experiment.

Initially, no water or abrasive is added; it is activated solely by the heat of the soul fire.

Fang Yan placed the soap on the ground and aimed his left fist, which was clad in arm armor, at it.

click!
"Forehead……"

It's not very powerful; it takes a lot of effort to cut a bar of soap. The pressure is very low, around 2 megapascals.
Fang Yan refused to believe in superstition and was certain he couldn't have made a mistake. He had already prepared a mineral water bottle filled with garnet sand, poured it into the arm armor, and then added water and abrasive.

Success or failure hinges on this moment. Aim at the target, and prepare another bar of soap.

click!
The soap was smashed open by the water, and the sound of a drill, like that of construction work, came from the bathroom. A large gash, about seven or eight centimeters deep, was cut into the floor tile, going straight into the cement base.

However, the amount of water and abrasive added was too small, and the effect was fleeting.

"Awesome..."

Fang Yan believes that further research is needed before applying it to actual combat. However, the water and abrasive are used up too quickly, and there is no opportunity to slowly replenish them during combat.

【Savage Pleasure.EXE】

Fang Yan suddenly realized that this feature was similar to Guilty Gear. Guilty Gear extracts item molds to generate projections, so Violent Pleasure can generate its own body parts, any form of body part.

But the biggest problem is that this thing has side effects. For example, when a left hand is generated, your own left hand will feel like it has been "extracted," as if it has been instantly cut off by a guillotine.

Fang Yan temporarily abandoned the sudden inspiration in his mind; it was just too damn bloody and insane.

I will be staying at the hotel for an extended period from now on.

I don’t know if Xiao Long betrayed me or not. By looking at the surveillance footage at his home, I can see that he wasn’t at home at all during these three days of holiday. Was he in the ascetic retreat?

The outcome will be determined in class tomorrow.

Peak intensity: 1498

Fang Yan gradually grasped the essentials of Soul Fire intensity training and improved rapidly in the past two days. Andy... I don't know who you are, daring to plant your flag on my territory. You'd better be prepared for the consequences.
