Without the triplet suite of Non-Attack, Heavenly Skill, and Fluid Alchemy for mass processing of Mercury to enhance its properties, the retail price for a single Alchemy Bullet enhanced in armor-piercing and destructive power was at four thousand pieces, provided one would access the discounted price strictly through bulk wholesale.

A belt of ammunition holding two hundred fifty bullets amounted exactly to one million.

In terms of man-hours, it was enough for any apprentice to continuously work in the workshop for two months, and thereafter never wish to see any bullet-shaped objects for the rest of their life... As for a craftsman, any craftsman wouldn't waste their time on such monotonously repetitive work.

Even the financially robust military, when facing an issue of insufficient destructive power, would only crudely increase the payload, never considering outfitting the filler troops with such luxurious equipment.

A million a minute? What kind of Empire joke is that, why not add a bit more, say three yuan and two cents, and get a cruise missile instead, blasting the enemy straight into the sky? Or at the very least, buy a few water cups and along the way send a batch of local sheep to Central Earth base to add to everyone's meals!

But none of that had anything to do with Jiang Xuan.

The military had much to consider, and so did the craftsmen, but as a user, he just needed to pick up the machine gun and blast everything still goddamn moving in front of him!

After getting skilled and accustomed, Jiang Xuan, standing atop the crushed bones of a giant lizard, had taken a high position and spread his firepower across the entire battlefield, relying on the ridiculous toughness of the Ruins to ignore all distant incoming bullets and attacks, wantonly spraying fire and thunder.

Slaughter!

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!

Unfortunately, the beautiful times flowed unusually fast.

It seemed like only a short moment had passed before the pleasant and prolonging booms abruptly stopped, replaced by a hollow clicking sound.

Jiang Xuan reached behind him but touched nothing; it was empty.

The smile froze on his face.

Bullets? Where are the bullets? No more bullets!

When he finally looked back, he saw nothing but empty boxes and shattered pieces of ammo belts under his feet... and Lou Feng crouching defensively below the iron wall.

The dream-like wonderful time was over, the bullets were all spent.

He held the overheated machine gun, regretfully sighed, a wave of disappointment rushing through him—after getting used to such fulfilling experiences, he could never go back to how things were.

By the time he snapped back to reality, he had already started estimating his account balance and contemplating how to file his expenses claim, wondering if Ji Jue, that kid, could issue an invoice...

However, he immediately tensed, his hair standing on end, and with widened eyes looked again behind him, only then noticing the problem.

Why the hell was it only Lou Feng around?!

"Where is Ji Jue?!"

He asked in alarm.

Lou Feng sighed as if he had given up on everything and pointed forward...

There, in the ruins, right behind Ji Liu and Ji Xue, the siblings fighting fiercely and seizing every opportunity to harvest the weak, was a figure lying prostrate on the ground, sneaking looks around with a sly vigilance.

Seizing the opportunity, he stretched out his sinful little hand towards the still-warm corpses.

His left hand activated the Separation Technique, seized the matrix, crushed it in one go, and fiercely absorbed all the Superior Essence. Whorl, mirror, ascension, the crowd, Ruins, White Deer, White Deer... another White Deer? You Evil Cultist specialize too much, oi!

Many confused insights emerged one after another from his mind, accompanied by various mutant contaminations. However, before the contamination could spread, it was instantly repelled by a furious Non-Attack.

Meanwhile, his right hand adeptly extracted the scattered spiritual matter and integrated it into Mercury using solid alchemy, plundering alchemy creations and all items bearing the aura of blessing.

Under the augment of Heavenly Skill, his careful movements surprisingly created countless afterimages, astonishingly efficient.

Take advantage of the heat, must take advantage of the heat!

Ji Jue was keenly alert, looking in all directions, keenly seeking any corpses that had just started cooling down.

He rushed straight at those nearby to strip them bare and used Mercury tendrils to pull and then strip those further away.

Despite the mentally chaotic and hectic battlefield, there was an atmosphere filled with a festive joy.

It's the New Year, the New Year!

In just this short moment, Ji Jue had filled twenty percent of the third-rank progress bar on his wristwatch by dismantling matrices using the Dissociation Technique. With a little more effort, he might just fill it completely.

Yet while excited, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Witnessing so many materials dissipating right before his eyes, unable to preserve them due to the lack of a stable environment. If only Brother Qiu were here, maybe in one go he would have taken off, possibly not lacking practice materials before reaching the Rebirth Rank.

While he was in this state of pain and pleasure, the allies in front of him saw darkness over and over again.

Ji Liu, struggling left and right in the desperate siege, staggered backward and when he turned to look at Ji Jue still crouching crazily scavenging on the ground, he couldn't help but feel his head go bald.

"Can you fucking move back a bit, stop messing around!"

Right as Ji Jue lifted his head, not far off, in the blind spot of his vision, a body that had been burned to charred pieces suddenly exploded into action, life returning, malice flashing in its eyes as it lunged straight at him!

Unbeknownst to how long it had lain in wait, enduring the agony of being burned without moving.

Now erupting with the force of a storm!

The old saying goes, capture the leader to defeat the foe, but as Tong Shan matched two without falling behind, little Karami was certainly impossible to capture, but as long as a craftsman could be captured, there was still a chance, or at the very least, it could be used as a threat to negotiate a way out...
