Vol.3 - Chapter 23 – I, Mason Cooper, did not cheat!

Fenyuan Hat said that he wanted to give Mason a gift, and of course the young man was very happy.

But when he really took out the thing from Fenyuan Hat's "belly", Mason's smile completely disappeared.

"It's all broken like this."

He sat in his alchemy room in the basement, looking at the fragments piled on the table in front of him, with a worried expression on his face. It's not that this thing is not good.

In fact, it's very good, but it's really unusable when it's broken like this.

"Don't be so picky."

The Fenyuan Hat placed on the table by Mason had a blurry face on its black body, and its mouth moved and said:

"Royner Lavinclaw has attached a powerful wisdom-awakening magic to this crown. The magic is maintained based on the crown. So as long as the crown is intact, it can still be effective. All you need to do is to reforge it with your hellfire magic."

That's what it said, but the silver eagle king crown on the table in front of Mason was already broken and shattered like debris, as if it had been shattered by some external force.

Not only did it twist the crown itself like a broken iron bar, even the large emerald and fourteen magic diamonds that should have been embellished on it were also broken and looked nothing like they should be.

The iconic eagle decoration was even incinerated by some kind of flame.

This made the relic of the great wizard look worthless from the outside. Mason's previous comment that the Fenyuan Hat was a "trash king" was absolutely accurate.

Perhaps he also felt that what he took out was a bit shabby. The Fenyuan Hat coughed violently a few times and lowered its voice to persuade, "You are already an accomplished alchemist and a member of the magic circle. Don't just judge things by their appearance. Essence is the most important. Melt it and put it on quickly. It will definitely benefit you."

Under its urging, Mason reached out and held the miserable crown fragments in his left hand, but he did not immediately summon the magic fire, but waited for the information label to pop up.

He wanted to completely confirm that this thing was harmless to him before melting it.

Soon, what Mason wanted to see jumped into his eyes: Lavinclaw's Crown/Wisdom Crown/Enlightenment Crown

Quality: Legendary Alchemy/Enchantment/Jewelry Item·Perfect Craftsmanship

Condition: Severely damaged·Irreparable

Item Effects:

1. Wisdom Crown:

Ms. Royner Lavinclaw is a pure spellcaster who has pursued magical wisdom all her life. She regards the blessing of wisdom as the best gift to others.

In her later years, with the help of her friend Helga Hachi, she personally made this golden crown.

The legendary wizard used her lifelong magical knowledge to apply a mysterious magic to this crown, and anyone who wears the crown will be enlightened with their own wisdom.

When wearing Lavinclaw's crown, the effect of increasing proficiency in manufacturing is doubled. The chance of producing items of "Fine" quality or above in manufacturing skills is increased.

After the branch skill reaches Level 6, the chance of producing items of "Supreme" quality or above in craftsmanship is increased.

Note:

Because Ms. Lavinclaw hated fighting all her life, this enhancement effect only works for manufacturing branch skills and is ineffective for combat skills.

2. Invisible Blessing:

This item has been severely damaged and cannot be repaired, but Ms. Lavinclaw's "wisdom enlightenment" blessing is only carried by the golden crown as the carrier of magic, so reshaping the item will not cause the blessing to fail.

Creators: Royner Lavinclaw, Helga Hachi

Item Description: The hat is right. The essence of some things is a thousand times more important than appearance! You foolish person who judges people by their looks!

Hint: The remnants of this crown can be shaped into any form.

"I am a fool!"

After reading the single but powerful effects of this unimpressive pile of remnants, Mason decisively admitted his mistake. He solemnly apologized to the Fenyuan Hat, which was sighing next to him, saying:

"Please forgive my poor judgment for almost missing this extraordinary treasure. Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Hat."

"That's about right."

Seeing Mason's sincere apology, the Fenyuan Hat didn't pursue anything further. It made a "the young can be taught" laughter and quickly fell into a peaceful slumber.

Mason looked at the pile of crown remnants in his palm and thought for a moment before summoning the magic fire to reshape the metal fragments in his palm.

With the talent of precise shaping bestowed by Flame Manipulation Level 2, in less than two minutes, the pair of broken crown remnants were reshaped into a pair of golden round-frame glasses in Mason's hand.

They looked very much like the scholarly glasses often worn by scholars.

Of course, they were only frames. Mason planned to select a few gems from his collection to grind the lenses and practice jewelry crafting at the same time.The ancient inscription inside the left temple of these golden wire glasses appeared, which was in Old English. Translated, it said, "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth bestowed upon mankind."

"Thank you, great wizard."

Mason looked satisfied with his work.

He put on the wire glasses without lenses and pushed them up on his nose, making sure they wouldn't slip off. Then, feeling a bit itchy, he decided to try out the effects of this manufacturing artifact.

He opened his portable suitcase and took out several pieces of magic metal with the "tough" attribute. He also brought up the blueprints of the future firearms he had collected in Judy's studio on the character card's light screen.

He planned to complete the weapon upgrade for Team K in the next few days.

He started with the "exclusive weapon" he promised to Er Tong. Of course, the reason he chose this gun was that it was the easiest weapon to make among all the blueprints he "freeloaded" from Judy.

It wasn't a rechargeable high-tech weapon, nor was it the intelligent weapon that Judy admired, which required the implantation of an intelligent prosthesis to be perfectly controlled.

It was a kinetic weapon.

According to the technological system in Judy's world, it was actually a product that took the gunpowder weapons of the current technology to the next level.

This kind of weapon hardly contained any high-tech components. It only used exquisite design and special construction to extend the system that converted gunpowder into kinetic energy to the extreme.

But such a weapon also had its difficulties.

Because the production blueprint specifically stated that this weapon needed to be made with composite metal to avoid the gun disintegrating and accidentally injuring the shooter due to the extremely high kinetic energy it generated.

Material science, as everyone knew, was an endless pit in any civilization and system. In other circumstances, Mason could only slowly try to produce composite metal.

But luckily, he had previously obtained Will Turner's forging notes from the famous ghost ship captain, legendary pirate, and master blacksmith in the Caribbean world. Those notes recorded the special metal fused from various magic metals. It was the material used by the Flying Dutchman's triple-barreled ghost cannon!

If that wasn't enough, the metal refining array of the alchemist brothers also recorded various magical metals they encountered during their travels in different worlds.

With so many good materials, it was more than enough to make a good gun.

"Let's get started, buddy."

Mason stretched his hands and used magic fire to burn several metals, shaping them. During this process, Mason suddenly thought of something else.

He took the phoenix egg out of the suitcase and placed it on the shelf in front of the "fallen out of favor" alchemy crucible. He lit a fire to burn this huge egg.

Although it was definitely not as satisfying as magic flames.

But this huge egg still trembled slightly as it burned, as if it was enjoying it.

Because kinetic weapons hardly contained any high-tech components, Mason only took thirty minutes to melt and shape all the components needed for this kinetic pistol.

After waiting for the components to cool down, he began to assemble them according to the design concept that was completely different from modern firearms. He even used a piece of dragon blood wood from the Hogwarts forest as the handle.

The finished gun was very beautiful.

The silver gun body had the appearance of a traditional revolver.

But its gun body was very heavy, presenting a rectangular structure. The embedded magazine fit seamlessly into the gun body, minimizing the kinetic energy loss when the gunpowder was ignited.

The trigger guard was only half, as if it was broken, and the golden trigger created a sense of "missing."

The red dragon blood wood grip added a touch of bloodthirsty feeling to this silver heavy pistol.

The gun was heavy. Even with Mason's enhanced strength, he felt its weight. But it had excellent balance and didn't feel "top-heavy."

It was perfect for Er Tong's close combat "gunfighting" style. When necessary, it could even be used as a war hammer.

In addition to the gun's exquisite appearance, which was like a work of art in slaughter, Mason could clearly feel a "power" constantly emanating from his golden wire glasses on his nose.

Besides maintaining his concentration throughout the entire process, there was also a constant feeling of "inspiration" driving his thinking to become active.

It could be said that this production process was the most perfect one for Mason after unlocking his manufacturing skills.

Even before the gun was fully assembled, Mason had a faint perception that this time, he would create a true "masterpiece."

At this moment, the young man placed the gun in front of him, carefully wiping it with a cloth, and a message popped up:

Archangel [Precision Kinetic Revolver]Quality: Epic Engineering Item · Outstanding Craftsmanship

Weapon Traits: Critical Strike, Deepened Damage, Heavy Hammer Stun, Weak Recoil, Indestructible (provided by weapon materials), Bleeding (Dragon Blood Wood Handle accessory provided)

Weapon Status: Can be further improved to enhance quality · Requires Engineering Lv6

Creator: Mason Cooper

Item Description: Did you really make such a fine weapon with your clumsy hands? You must have cheated, right?

Successfully completed the production of an epic quality · outstanding craftsmanship engineering item, the Wisdom Enlightenment effect takes effect, and Engineering Skill Proficiency is increased by X120.

"Yeah, I did cheat. If you don't believe me, bite me!"

Mason had long been annoyed by the item description that always provoked him.

He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses satisfactorily and smiled proudly as he grabbed the energy drink next to him and took a sip.

Since he was in such a good state tonight, he decided to take advantage of it and make more weapons.

Two barrels were not enough for a battle; even though the revolver was powerful, its six-round capacity meant it couldn't fight alone.

Mason also needed new weapons to replace the initial weapons of the Critical Hit Shotgun series that could no longer keep up with the pace. The Kite Man, responsible for reconnaissance and firepower suppression, also needed a real heavy weapon to fulfill his "life value."

And this time, they were going to meet and chase after Mr. Sandstorm together. Jack, Angelina, and Mrs. Elizabeth also needed their own weapons for self-defense.

The only good news was that Zarkon, the spellcaster, was resistant to firearms, so Mason didn't need to worry about his weapons.

This inadvertently reduced Mason's workload.

Wait, did you say there is another member in the K Squad?

Yes, indeed. But when Mason left Starfort, he clearly saw Judy secretly handing a few things to Barbara, who was playing with her.

So Batgirl's weapons naturally didn't need Captain's attention.

Hmm, learning the valuable skill of "eating soft food" at such a young age, Barbara Gordon's future is truly limitless.

---

Early the next morning, while Harley, who had been drinking heavily last night, was still sound asleep, Poison Ivy had already woken up and yawned as she entered the basement to prepare for alchemy practice.

She was really a very good student.

Relying on the old K's alchemy notes left by Mason, she could now make healing potions on her own. To be honest, Mason's shabby shop, which he often left to run around, could still be open until now thanks to Poison Ivy's diligent practice.

However, when Poison Ivy pushed open the door, she was startled.

The entire basement was filled with various metal scraps after smelting, and where the alchemy crucible was originally placed, there was a large egg being roasted over the fire.

Her "mentor" in alchemy, Mason, had a pair of dark circles under his eyes and was muttering to himself as he assembled a very strange-looking rifle.

On the workbench behind him, there was already a menacing-looking light machine gun and three handguns of different shapes and colors.

These things decorated the basement like a stronghold of a black gun organization.

But Poison Ivy had seen and experienced a lot.

As the top villain in Gotham, she was not unfamiliar with these killing weapons, but the guns made by Mason were different from the gunpowder weapons she knew just by their appearance.

This piqued Poison Ivy's interest.

She glanced at the already somewhat crazy Mason, approached the workbench stealthily, and reached out to pick up the heavy gray-colored handgun.

But it almost slipped out of her hand due to its weight.

Wow! This gun is almost as heavy as a block of iron of the same volume. Is it really made for ordinary people?

"Buzz, buzz, buzz." Just as Poison Ivy was examining the sleek and atmospheric kinetic revolver, a strange sound, like a microwave heating, suddenly came from behind her.

She turned around abruptly.

She saw Mason, with panda eyes, already holding the complex rifle he had assembled in his hands. The strange sound was coming from the gun's body.

It sounded like the charging sound of some dangerous item.

The black muzzle was aimed at her, and the straight lines and modular structure of the gun gave it a cold and metallic feel unique to a metal creation.

The stockless gun was against Mason's shoulder, and the unique design of the grip and gun body made it look like a venomous snake ready to devour its prey.

What's even more amazing is that this gun seemed alive.

At the moment it was activated, the charging acceleration module on its body popped out like the rails of an electromagnetic cannon and then closed again under the effect of the adaptive trajectory correction module, finally forming a shooting posture with spread wings.

Just this immersive sense of technological experience is enough to prove that this thing is extraordinary.The rifle, fully charged, made a dull sound as Mason pulled the trigger, but it lacked the power to kill without bullets.

However, the fierce momentum still came towards him.

"Don't touch these new guns."

Mason put down the rifle in his hand, pushed his wire-rimmed glasses without lenses, glanced at the pistol in Avril's hand, and said:

"This 'Diamond' is not finished yet. I will come back after work this afternoon to complete the enchantment and soul-breaking process for them. If possible, please help me process the materials after your alchemy is finished.

I put them all in the drawer, and the specific process is also written on the paper."

"Okay." Avril looked at Mason with some worry, his face full of immortality and a crumbling appearance. She also saw him skillfully take out a bottle of tonic and drank it.

A few seconds later, she said, "These weapons. Are they not for normal people? And was the gun you just charged? Is it a new weapon you developed?"

"I just picked up some ideas from others, but they are indeed quite outstanding."

Mason humbly said, "Don't tell others, so as not to cause trouble."

After speaking, he glanced at the "Epic·Technically Accurate Rifle·Widow Maker" in his hand and smiled, putting it among the pile of firearms behind him.

Finally, Mason looked at the shining Lv5 Engineering on his character card and had to admit that he had truly obtained a "cheat device" in the true sense.

He picked up his hat and put it on his head, adjusted his clothes, and prepared to go to work.

At the moment he pushed open the door, he said in his heart, "Thank you, Mr. Hat. To show my sincere gratitude, I have decided to put the pursuit of those traitors on the agenda immediately after I handle the current matters! I promise, we will all get what we want."
