Title 84 Firearms Enhancement

“… … How much does it cost?”

Jihoo’s serious expression made him stop.

No one brought in a lot of money for someone who said this.

“Keuheum, if I scrape together, I can get up to 120 million.”

Jihoo nodded.

It was a guest I would not have received in the past, but now I wanted to try it. I also wanted to check the magic skills I had studied so far.

[Firearms] The fact that it was the first time to strengthen it also played a part. And if possible, it wouldn’t be bad for Jihoo to have at least one firearm.

“Are there any other options you want?”

“Is there such a thing as a firearm! It would be nice if the destructive power was even a little stronger!”

“Hmm, okay. I think you can come tomorrow.”

“Cheap! you know? ha ha ha.”

The guests left with a big smile.

I don’t know what the hell ‘kalsam’ means, but I just need to understand that it’s asking for destructive power.

The problem is that raising [destructive power] in ‘firearms’ is the most difficult. It’s a delicate mechanism… … It can be awkward, but among artifacts, it belongs to the delicate and complex side.

Anyway, in most cases, devices like this will break without even being used a few times, if any circuits are etched into them to increase their [destructive power].

Besides, the gun manufacturing company doesn’t want to raise the destructive power, so they won’t upload it. It is natural that it is prohibitively expensive, and it is very difficult to strengthen itself.

‘From reading.’

『A024 Revolver [Efield] [Rare] [Lv. 04]』

: A revolver made by Efield, which specializes in firearms. It is the 4th improved version of the 2nd generation of the A class. Accuracy and durability have been improved compared to the previous work.

* [Low durability enhancement (gun barrel)]

* [Low Impact Dispersion (Barrel)]

* [Minimum Auto Trigger (Bong)]

* [Enhanced low-level linkage (all)]

First of all, in such a mechanism, the mana circuit must be engraved separately on each part. It can be bundled together, but the price jumps several times.

At least, Efield, a firearms company, is stable because it has been working tirelessly to make firearms into artifacts.

Smaller magic power circuits were added to each part than shown in the basic appraisal. It was like a part of a circuit that helps the interlocking of each part.

Click.

Jihoo disassembled the cylinder.

Even if you are not an expert in firearms, you know how to do simple disassembly.

‘The details are definitely different. trigger and cylinder. And even the gong is connected with one magic circuit.’

Usually, the function of pulling the trigger and going back is ‘spring’. However, the spring is weak against mana. So here, while using the by-products of the monsters, I even overlaid [Low Level Auto Trigger].

‘I’m sure it’ll be stable. Was it made by twisting ogre tendon and lizardman Achilles tendon?’

It is very thin and has good elasticity. The mana conductivity is also good. It will be enough to withstand the wave of magic that explodes when the ball hits the detonator.

“Is this better than you think?”

It has some charm.

The problem is that each bullet used in this revolver costs from 30,000 won to 1 million won. If the 30,000 won is the basic bullet used for the artifact gun, the 1 million won bullet has additional options such as [Paralysis], [Poisoning], and [Penetration].

For Jihoo now, the price is not too burdensome. It’s not like a machine gun that fires hundreds of rounds per minute.

‘If there is no upper limit on money, I can strengthen it pretty well.’

The idea is simple.

If it’s about 120 million won, it’s all about a slight increase in destructive power. Usually, the proportion of reload value in this reinforcement is set up to 60%.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you can get a similar reinforcement with a lower weight.

‘Anyway, I need to raise durability as well, but depending on how I configure it, the upper limit that can be raised will be different… … .’

There is one more problem.

Even if the durability problem is second, there is a fatal flaw that accuracy is low.

As a result, in order to increase the damage, you need to calibrate the durability, and even add [Aim Correction] similar to the [Auto Aim] used when upgrading the Umbra.

‘This is why it’s hard to strengthen my guns.’

But now Jihoo is different.

Through the [Vector Transformation] learned while [understanding] the [force field] in the gun itself, the ‘resilience’ that returns to the gun when the bullet moves forward is reversed.

If so, you can get [Durability] and [Destructive Power] at the same time. It was an idea I had never thought of before. And the level of the circuit itself is 4-star or higher, so even if I thought about it, I wouldn’t have been able to draw it.

It comes to mind when I draw this circuit.

“When you go down, when you go up~ The crickets that warm you up twice~”

Someone did.

One of his characteristics is that he sings when he speaks. But since this is an original advertisement, I guess it doesn’t matter.

While thinking such useless thoughts, Jihoo drew a circuit on the [Magical Paper] with the [Magical Fountain Pen].

I have to draw on the inside of the cylinder, but since I can’t draw directly, I have to draw on thin paper, cut it out precisely, and attach it to the inside.

‘It doesn’t have to be a lot, but to withstand shock or magic shockwaves, I need to use at least advanced magic paper.’

In addition, the ink used in the magical fountain pen must be of a higher grade.

In this way, after attaching the magic paper engraved with the circuit to the inside of the cylinder, it is melted using special chemicals. The circuit is then engraved on the inside of the cylinder as a very light intaglio.

“… … Whoa. It’s not easy.”

I have already spent 30 million won on the re-royal cost alone.

Besides, the amount of effort is no joke.

[Low-mid shock reflex (cylinder)]

: It relieves 65% of the bullet’s reaction force applied to the cylinder, and converts 55% of the force into bullet speed. It contains the hand of a very skilled artisan.

“Not bad.”

Created [Low Intermediate] without using [Setting Intervention]. It was a result achieved by drawing only magic circuits without using any special materials.

Certainly, as knowledge of magic increased, Jihoo’s magic circuit skills also changed a lot.

‘The twisted accuracy can be assisted by attaching a small mana stone piece.’

In fact, this is overkill.

But once I got regulars, that was it.

Since the ratio of the re-rule is fixed anyway, you can think of Jihoo moving his hand one more time.

Then, suddenly, I felt a sense of wonder.

No matter how much Jihoo studied [Vector Transformation] is said to be the main circuit, but you can’t draw a 4-star circuit this quickly.

It must have taken 4 hours, but it was over in 20 minutes.

Jihoo looked at his hands.

『A024 Revolver [Efield] [Rare] [Lv. 06]』

: A revolver made by Efield, which specializes in firearms. It is the 4th improved version of the 2nd generation of the A class. Accuracy and durability have been improved compared to the previous work. In addition, the skillful craftsman’s magic circuit has been engraved and strengthened more stably.

* [Low durability enhancement (gun barrel)]

* [Low Impact Dispersion (Barrel)]

* [Minimum Auto Trigger (Bong)]

* [Enhanced low-level linkage (all)]

* [Low-Medium Impact Reflex (Cylinder)]

* [Lower Aiming Compensation (Barrel)]

Two levels went up.

I should have paid more for this, but I didn’t want to go that far. Money is money, but awareness was more important.

In the [Achievement List] Jihoo checked, there was a [Awareness] item. There was an achievement about how much Jihoo was known and how much it was talked about.

‘I guess my name will be known only when my skills are good.’

Another achievement was launching a brand under Jihoo’s name.

“By the way, there are so many options.”

Certainly, in the case of firearms, the number of options will inevitably increase. That’s not good either. There are cases where the level is excessively high compared to the performance, but that doesn’t mean that the level effect is given to the monsters in the tower.

The next day, the gun owner came.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! Are you done?!”

Jihoo smiled and handed over a revolver along with a new appraisal. He read the appraisal slowly and was shocked as if his eyeballs would pop out.

“That, four, boss… … ?”

“yes?”

“You haven’t misunderstood my estimate, have you? It’s not 1 billion, it’s 120 million won.”

“you’re right. 120 million won.”

“No, that’s it. How is this possible? It has become a completely new artifact?”

In fact, it is right to overdo it.

I saw the revolver and did what I could in it.

‘I see something I can do, but what should I do?’

You can’t do it on purpose, can you?

Later, if there are more requests like this and the value of the name goes up, the price will go up. However, Jihoo’s labor cost is about this much right now.

“thank you. Boss, really. Thank you sincerely. I will never spread the word about this general store, and I will come alone.”

“Please spread a lot of rumors.”

“Ha ha ha, just kidding. It’s going to be hard to order here soon. There is a group of gunners who use the same firearms as me, and if you take this and tell them, they will all go crazy.”

“… … hahahaha.”

“Not everyone is of this quality, right?”

“Yes, it is. Somehow, it was possible because you had to be lucky, and the quality and mana of the firearm were stable.”

“All right. I will be sure to let you know and let me know. Can I take a picture here?”

“sure.”

Jihoo completed one request like that.

The extra money is less than production, but I think this is also a study. It was because I looked into a new path while strengthening myself unexpectedly.

* * *

For a while, I focused on my general store job.

I worked during the day and studied magic whenever I had a spare time. The six-month schedule set by the magician Miji Kim was progressing dozens of times faster.

In fact, I didn’t even use [Understanding] properly. All of my progress so far has been thanks to the [Talent] fixed by [Settings Intervention].

“… … You don’t have to use [Understanding].”

I didn’t know it would be like this.

It’s nonsense.

No, this was the real cheat key.

Just by reading it, the formulas are organized in my head, and when magical energy is generated, the formula is completed. Not just theory, but all magic-related things, such as mana response and coordination, became easier.

It was so easy.

If you read it once to the point where you feel frustrated, you can organize it in your head, read it twice, memorize it, and read it three times to predict what will come next.

‘Crazy. really.’

I could understand now.

What kind of world do people called [geniuses] live in? Can we get them to understand the word ‘difficult’?

Jihoo shook his head.

“Nonsense.”

The [Common Magic] that Jihoo had to learn was completed just by turning the pages up to 3 stars. The knowledge he has accumulated so far must have been of great help.

It was when he learned the basics of [Synthesis] that he really began to feel the power of this talent.

“Is this so easy?”

Of course, [Common Magic] and [Soft Alchemy] are different. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are completely different from the fundamentals.

But they both had something in common.

For example, the difference between a building made of steel and a building made of stone. The materials and construction process may be completely different, but the [structure] was similar.

‘You need to liquefy while replacing the [gravity] between molecules of a rigid body with magic, but 11 different techniques are required depending on the type of rigid body. Since it has a certain pattern, in-depth understanding of linear algebra is basic, and even a small movement requires perfect calculation, so it is better to use geometry rather than simple calculation… … .’

I have studied at this level. However, since it is a very different field, it should be difficult.

Of course, there are overlaps as well.

There was geometry that I studied while [understanding] [lower artificial intelligence], and there was [pattern] mathematics that I saw while studying pennental hypervibration.

But that’s part of it.

It makes no sense to connect with other magical knowledge just by looking at it like this, and to think of understanding and applying it naturally.

‘Until I get stuck somewhere, I shouldn’t use [Understanding].’

I wanted to try it out.

How far can it be this easy with this talent?
