Chapter 33: Act 2 Dungeon?

After deciding to buy the ’Dragon Gall Bladder 40-Shot Slingshot,’ Fang Zhen also chose a crossbow.

This crossbow was called the ’Cheetah M81-7 Camo Edition,’ and it was shaped like a camouflage sniper rifle.

However, the front of the ’sniper rifle’ didn’t have a barrel, but a crossbow.

The stats for this crossbow were quite impressive.

Total Length: 88 cm, Weight: 4 kg, Draw Weight: 95 kg, Muzzle Velocity: 140 m/s, Magazine Capacity: 50 rounds, Range: 230 meters, Effective Range: 150 meters.

This crossbow was the most powerful one Fang Zhen had seen at this Weilong Outdoor store.

If the ’Dragon Gall Bladder 40-Shot’ was the submachine gun of slingshots for close-quarters combat, then this ’Cheetah M81-7 Camo Edition’ was the heavy sniper rifle of crossbows.

In terms of price, it was also the most expensive item in the video the shop sent.

"Standard Package, 2250: mechanical sights, plus 3 arrows, 1 pack of steel balls, and a steel ball pouch."

"Mid-tier Package, 2550: 4x32 sniper scope, plus 20 Model 8008 arrows and 200 steel balls."

"High-tier Package: 3-9x40 red/green illuminated sniper scope, plus 3 ’338’ Hunting Arrows, 20 ’145’ arrows, 40 ’8008’ arrows, and 200 steel balls."

"Deluxe Ultimate Package, 3188: military-grade 4-16x44 HD anti-shock illuminated scope, a large laser sight, a tactical bipod, a military tactical bag, plus 5 ’338’ Hunting Arrows, 40 ’145’ arrows, 40 ’8008’ arrows, and 500 steel balls."

Fang Zhen looked at the list of packages from the Weilong Outdoor shop.

’These two it is.’

’The Dragon Gall Bladder for short-to-mid range, and the Cheetah depending on the dungeon. If it’s open terrain, I can set up the bipod. If its performance is really this good, I can play sniper.’

Fang Zhen made his decision.

He copied the pictures of the Dragon Gall Bladder and the Cheetah to his photo gallery, then opened the gallery, selected the images, and sent them to ’A Weilong Outdoor’.

「A few seconds later.」

A Weilong Outdoor: Bro, looking to buy a slingshot?

Fang Zhen chuckled. ’You call this a slingshot?’ he thought. ’That’s like nicknaming an elephant "Mouse".’

Fang Zhen replied: "Yeah, the Dragon Gall Bladder and the Cheetah I just sent you. I want the top-tier package."

"But isn’t it illegal for you to sell this stuff?"

"Not illegal, not at all, bro. Don’t you worry," A Weilong Outdoor replied instantly, following up with several more messages.

"You came from Jingmao, right, bro?"

"My Jingmao store has been open for over four years. Think about it, if it were illegal, I would’ve been shut down a long time ago. My shop wouldn’t have lasted until today."

"This stuff is actually legal to buy and sell, you just need to file some paperwork."

"Also, after you buy it, it’s best not to take it where there are a lot of people. Even though it’s not illegal, there’s still a risk."

"It definitely doesn’t break the law, but you know, our country prioritizes stability. Even if it’s not illegal, getting it confiscated would just be a hassle, right?"

Fang Zhen read the messages and nodded slightly.

’He’d already figured as much. Xia Country took security very seriously; these weren’t the old days.’

’If these ’slingshots’ were illegal, they would have been taken down long ago, and Fang Zhen wouldn’t have found them so easily.’

Fang Zhen just wanted to double-check with the shop owner.

Fang Zhen: "How powerful are these two?"

Weilong Outdoor: "Rest assured, they’re extremely powerful."

"The Dragon Gall Bladder has an effective range of 40 meters, and it can still shatter a bottle beyond that. Switch to the 8008 arrows, and its power increases tenfold."

"And don’t even get me started on the Cheetah. It’s the most powerful thing I have right now, and also the best value for the money. Its power and accuracy are both exceptional, and the price isn’t too steep."

"If you get a chance to use it outdoors, you’ll have no problem taking down a wild boar or other big game with a single shot. It can fire both steel balls and darts, and its build quality is tough as nails."

Fang Zhen: "Alright, I want the Dragon Gall Bladder 40-Shot with the visual sight, and one Deluxe Ultimate Package of the Cheetah M81-7 Camo Edition."

Fang Zhen sent the message.

"Alright! My man!"

"Send me your address. I can set it to cash on delivery, so you don’t have to worry about trust issues. You won’t have any problems buying gear from me."

A Weilong Outdoor replied quickly, sounding quite excited.

Fang Zhen typed and sent his address.

Weilong Outdoor: "Okay, bro. I’ll get it ready to ship right away."

"I see your address is in Xiahai. I’ll send you the Dragon Gall Bladder first; it should arrive in a day and a half. You’ll have to wait a bit for the Cheetah. I don’t have it in stock, so I’ll have to get one before I can send it to you."

"It won’t be too long. 7 days at the soonest, 10 at the latest."

Fang Zhen replied: "OK, as soon as possible."

Weilong Outdoor: "You got it."

Having settled the matter, Fang Zhen placed his phone on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

He leaned back, sinking into the soft back of the sofa.

’The Dragon Gall Bladder will arrive in a day and a half. It should be here by tomorrow evening.’

’If this thing is really as good as it was in the test video, it’ll be amazing. My combat power will skyrocket.’

’If the Dragon Gall Bladder Slingshot really had an effective range of 40 meters, and if Weilong Outdoor wasn’t exaggerating, switching to darts would make it ten times more powerful. That would basically be one-shotting a goblin with every arrow.’

Fang Zhen could feel from the dungeon that the goblins weren’t very strong.

The only one that was a bit tougher was the Goblin Leader.

But no matter how strong the goblins were, they couldn’t compare to the power of modern industrial weaponry.

Fang Zhen had already experienced the benefits of good equipment. Whether it was the riot suit, the Bright Silver Spear, or the Nepalese Curved Saber, they all gave him the power to crush ordinary goblins.

Fang Zhen considered for a moment.

’I got the key item in the ’Dark Path’ to unlock Act Two.’

’It’s all the same world, so the monsters in the Act Two dungeon probably won’t be much stronger. If I can kill goblins, I can kill the Act Two monsters.’

’Once I get the Dragon Gall Bladder, my combat power will probably increase several times over. Plus, I’ll be able to crush them from a distance where they can’t even touch me.’

Fang Zhen’s heart filled with anticipation.

Seeing that he still had some time, Fang Zhen got up from the sofa, found a yoga mat, spread it on the floor, and started doing push-ups.

Fang Zhen was now full of fighting spirit, wanting to use every minute and every second to grow stronger so he would be in better shape for the dungeons.

...

「The next day.」

「Nine in the morning.」

After eating breakfast and his morning workout, Fang Zhen sat down at his computer.

On the desk in front of his computer, the Golden Holy Chalice, the Holy Plate, Gold Coins, an emblem, and other items were all laid out.

He clicked the mouse, opening the icon for the Dungeon Life game.

The Dungeon Life game interface opened, and the first thing that popped up was a dialog box with a countdown timer.

"1:58:43"

"1:58:42..."

The dialog box was the choice of whether to use the key item to enter Act Two of the ’Dark Path’.

Fang Zhen let out a soft breath, relaxing himself.

’Yes.’

Fang Zhen moved the mouse and clicked the ’Confirm’ button.

"You have chosen to use the key item. Act Two of the ’Dark Path’ dungeon is now open."

"Generating dungeon..."

"The dungeon you selected has been generated."

"Dungeon Name: Redstone Town Mine.World Setting: UnnamedDungeon Difficulty: Normal"

"You have 10 Valor points saved in your file."

"Spend 10 Valor points to obtain information about the ’Redstone Town Mine’ dungeon?"
