Farming in the Magical World

Lanny made arrangements for the carving apprentice and then stopped paying attention to it. Instead, he casually passed the gun barrel matter to Cody, while he waited for Melissa to finish making the gun barrel!

To his surprise, the construction of the array chamber was much slower than he had anticipated. Even after he had finished all the other parts according to the designed dimensions, and Cody had even managed to make a reasonably acceptable tube by hammering it, Melissa was still continuing to make improvements!

He originally thought that once the base plate was finished, completing the array chamber would be a natural next step, but in reality, he seemed to have oversimplified things.

In the past two days, Melissa not only made many attempts, but also redid the base plate several times. Fortunately, Lanny had anticipated this situation and there was enough molding powder, so things were not delayed.

It wasn't until this morning that Melissa opened her bloodshot eyes, took the completed array chamber, and came to Lanny's side!

"You've worked hard!" Seeing the other person's red eyes, Lanny couldn't help but stand up. Melissa also seemed exhausted. She waved her hand without saying a word and handed over what she was holding.

"Why don't you go and get some sleep first?" Lanny asked with concern.

"No need, I want to see the results as soon as it's all done!" Melissa said weakly, her voice hoarse and her spirits weary, but she didn't want to leave!

Nodding, Lanny stopped talking and picked up the various parts he had prepared. In no time, he had completed his assembly. Then he attached the energy chamber and array chamber that Melissa had brought. A retro yet magical magic gun, with a hint of punk and... and... strange... appeared before him!

Wait a minute, something feels off about this thing.

Lenny first held the pistol outwards, then turned the muzzle around in confusion to look at it. He slapped his forehead hard—Damn, I see!

He finally realized where that strange feeling came from.

The barrel of this crudely made magic pistol was already quite thick. I didn't notice it before; at most, it just felt a bit out of place. But after installing the two parts that Melissa brought, it instantly changed its feel!

Imagine a gun barrel almost as thick as a walnut, with two round cylinders on either side of the handle at the back. What would it look like from the front?

He remembered reading a novel that described how every time aid workers came to the village, the villagers would receive a handful of noodles and two eggs, which the locals affectionately called "jiba dan" (meaning "two eggs").

Looking at the pistol on the table now, he wondered if it would ever be called a "f*** gun" again.

Being pointed at by something like that would likely give the person the illusion of being pointed at with a weapon. Even without firing a shot, they'd probably be devastated on the spot... a classic example of psychological attack.

Hmm, a magic gun with a mental attack effect, that's so magical!

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?" Melissa was puzzled when she saw Lanny staring at the assembled object, looking it over and over with a constantly changing expression.

Didn't you design this yourself? Could there be a problem with the design? It can't be that the energy storage and array storage are faulty because of me, I checked them all!

If Lanny could hear her thoughts, he probably could only shrug helplessly. He was only thinking about how to assemble and manufacture with existing technology, whether to choose smoothbore or rifled, and how to make fixed-load ammunition!

Who would have thought that the least important issue would be the appearance? He never expected it to turn out like this!

Lenny shook his head and didn't say anything. What could he say? That this thing looks like... well, you know?

But he was also quite helpless. It wasn't that he didn't want to make these things smaller, after all, he wanted a pistol, not a hand cannon. But his processing capabilities, array inscription, and even the manufacture of bullets limited him. At present, this was the best he could do!

After a moment of silence, he picked up the thing and got up to find a place to try it out—whether it looked ugly or not, as long as it had power, it wasn't unacceptable!

Just thinking about its shape and holding it with my right hand makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Wait, I'm going to wash my face, let's go take a look together!" Melissa stood up, but went back to her room first!

What could Lenny say? He could only wait!

It's not fair to not allow someone else to see the finished product just because they designed it!

Besides, if the experiment doesn't work well, wouldn't he have to bother others to improve the formation?

When Lanny and Melissa arrived at the backyard, it was already about ten minutes later, but according to Lanny's understanding, that was considered fast.

The world has limited makeup techniques, and Melissa doesn't have a penchant for makeup. At least, Lanny has never seen her wear makeup—well, he's only ever seen her disguise herself!

Lanny gestured for Melissa to step back slightly, then slowly walked a few steps to the armor in the corner, took out a cardboard shotgun shell, loaded it into the chamber, pressed the bullet forward to create space for the reaction chamber, closed the back cover, and slowly raised his hand towards the armor in front of him.

This was the first time Lanny had ever handled a real weapon, neither in his past life nor in this one!

It seems that there is something in men's genes that makes them involuntarily become excited as soon as they lightly grasp anything called a "gun"!

Lanny felt the same way; his heart was pounding and his arms were trembling, filled with both nervousness and anticipation!

Lanny tightened his grip on the magic pistol, suppressed his rapid breathing, and aimed at the armor in front of him as a target. Only then could he barely calm himself down!

Seeing Lanny raise one hand and make a strange gesture, but then hesitate for a long time without making any further moves, Melissa became a little puzzled and stepped forward to check on him!

Lanny noticed Melissa's movement out of the corner of his eye and quickly said to her, "Don't come over, I'm about to fire..."

As he spoke, he subconsciously began to perform the stimulation movements!

Influenced by some movies and TV shows, he subconsciously thought that he had to pull the trigger hard. After all, the firing principle of modern weapons is to use a firing pin to ignite the primer, and the primer ignites the propellant. The primer is encased in a copper cap. If the hammer is not strong enough, it will not be successful!

But he forgot that the thing he designed wasn't activated by impact at all; it was more like a switch to turn on an electrical appliance. The trigger was connected to a magic-guiding device, which was very easy to activate. He activated it without even finishing his sentence!

"Bang... ...crash... ..."

With a deafening explosion, the whole world seemed to fall silent for a moment!

Lanny felt a violent tremor in his arm, as if an elephant had crashed into it. His hands were jolted high into the air by the shock, and he could no longer hold onto the magic pistol, which was thrown high into the air.

Before his eyes, the tip of the gun barrel was completely blown apart, and the weapon itself was thrown high into the air by the huge shock.

However, the bullets inside were successfully fired, hitting the armor and making a series of loud impact sounds!

This is... ...a barrel explosion?

As expected, hand-made gun barrels are unreliable; it seems we need to thicken them!

"ah... ..."

Melissa, who was standing beside her, was also startled by the sudden commotion and stared wide-eyed for a moment!

In her eyes, before Lanny finished speaking, all the movements seemed to slow down. First, a string of faint flames shot out from the front of the strange iron pipe, and then the iron pipe bloomed like a flower, with the opening completely split open, radiating outwards, like the petals of some flowers in full bloom.

Then, a series of dark shadows flew out of the iron pipe with lightning speed, making a dense, storm-like sound as they struck the knight's armor.

Then, as if struck by a sledgehammer, Lanny's arms rippled and rose high into the air, the object in his hands flying into the air and disappearing without a trace.

A deafening roar followed, and Lanny seemed to have not yet reacted, standing there motionless in a daze.

Oh no, it looks like the experiment failed!

What did Lanny do? Was my Pyroblast spell really that loud?

I tried it before, and its power was really just average. But why did it become so powerful when Lanny put these strange things on it?

Oh dear, is he hurt? He's not moving at all!

Melissa's mind raced, and countless thoughts flashed through her head in an instant!

This wasn't the first time she'd encountered a failed magic experiment, but this was the first time it had caused such a commotion; it was completely beyond her expectations.

"Are you OK?"

"Hey, Lenny, answer me!"

Melissa shouted at Lenny, but when Lenny didn't respond, she became even more anxious!

Lanny was still reeling from the sudden turn of events, his body frozen in the half-side position he had been aiming at. One of his hands was numb, and his ears were temporarily deafened by the nearby explosion, filled with a sharp whistling sound.

Melissa beside him seemed to shout something, but he could only see Melissa's mouth opening and closing out of the corner of his eye, without a sound reaching his ears.

Is that a gun or a cannon? Why is there such a big commotion?

As he slowly turned his neck to look at Melissa, as if it were rusty, Lanny was thinking---This is what you mean by not powerful? This is not just not powerful, it's almost like a cannon, and you still say it's not powerful?

I might as well call it a handheld short-barreled magic cannon; calling it a magic pistol is an insult to its power!

As the loud noise echoed throughout the castle, chaotic footsteps resounded inside, and many people seemed to be startled, running towards the backyard!
