I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

Now, just waiting for the Yayu Hell Gatling to make its first official debut.

It's worth mentioning that, like other unique-level firearm skins, the design of this Yayu skin is also quite aesthetically pleasing. Nine phoenix tails flutter in the wind at the back of the Gatling, giving it an airy feel to those who see it.

The overall firearm sports a blood-red style, with a lava-like layer on its surface that slowly flows, eventually converging on the nine phoenix tails when the trigger is pulled.

These nine phoenix tails will sway backward and continually flicker with red light.

Yes.

These nine phoenix tails are indeed the ammo belt. Unlike the normal Hell Gatling's ammo belt, its bullets are hidden within these phoenix tails, which thrust virtually into his backpack to directly use the bullets stored there.

Not only is it more convenient to carry around, eliminating the concern of how to handle the ammo belt during rapid movement, but it also saves the time needed to change ammo belts.

More importantly, he never actually stores bullets in his backpack, as they are mainly kept in the Nothingness Space, which has plenty of room, so it's impossible to fill up with bullets.

The Hell Gatling's phoenix tails are rooted directly into the Nothingness Space.

It's foreseeable that for a significant period to come, this Gatling will become his primary weapon. Of course, the Thompson won't be abandoned because of this; even though the Thompson's damage values and the like aren't as high as the Gatling's.

But the Thompson has two excellent advantages:

1: The bullets are cheap.

2: The firing rate is extremely fast.

With just these two benefits, the Thompson submachine gun won't be phased out anytime soon. As for the sniper rifle, it's unlikely to become a main weapon. Its attributes determine that it can only deliver Fatal Strikes at critical moments.

It cannot be used for sustained attacks.

After all, to fully capitalize on this weapon's power, one must activate the ultimate skill, which will leave the weapon inoperative for an extended period. During that time, these two companions must be used.

...

"Miao."

As Chen Miao was tidying his backpack, Hungry Monkey, standing by his side, continued, "The City-State Contest in Fengtian City is about to start, and the mayor is asking if you want to compete."

"The mayor?"

Chen Miao raised an eyebrow; he had nearly cut off all contact with the outside world lately, content to immerse himself in his own secret realm, occasionally taking Hungry Monkey, Yuan Buping, and others into group secret realms, mostly dominating solo ones.

Stay connected with empire

The irritation left from the last C-level secret realm,

was all made up for in these recent days in E-level and F-level realms. These lower-level realms didn't have as many complexities; once inside, he simply had to wield the trusted Thompson for a burst of gunfire, making it quite easy to clear the realms.

There was no difficulty at all.

He didn't even know who the current mayor of Fengtian City was.

"It's the former deputy mayor,"

Hungry Monkey shrugged, "Fengtian City can't be without a mayor. The Federal Government of Jingjiu City chose neither to appoint a cadre from another city nor to make an external appointment; instead, they promoted the guy who'd been in the deputy mayor position for quite some time."

"He was promoted just a few days ago, the day before yesterday."

"Hmm."

Chen Miao nodded thoughtfully, remaining silent. He was acquainted with the new mayor, having met a few times and talked quite a bit. Their relationship wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't bad either.

It's worth noting—

the deadline for his task was approaching.

'PS: The second phase of the task has been completed. The third phase task—If within one month, the player holding this item ranks first on any citywide leaderboard, the item will be retained and promoted; otherwise, it will be reclaimed.'

That was his staff task.

If he wanted to keep this item, he had to head to Fengtian City in the next few days and grab the top spot on any leaderboard, or his item would be taken back.

And one thing is very important: in which city you obtained the 'First Show of Sharpness' growth-oriented item, in that city you must complete the task. For example, if you got it in 'Jingjiu City,' you have to finish the leaderboard task in Jingjiu City; you can't deliberately go to a weaker city to compete for the leaderboard.

And for the big shots of Jingjiu City, few would go to a weaker city specifically to perfectly clear their first secret realm for the sake of this item.

Firstly,

this item is a chance-based prop. It's not guaranteed that you'll get it by perfectly clearing your first secret realm; you might get it based on probability, provided you meet this condition. Just like Hungry Monkey, who also perfectly cleared his first secret realm with me, but didn't receive this item.

Secondly, and most importantly,

this item isn't very useful. No one has ever really owned it. It's always a temporary possession, and nobody has been able to keep it permanently. During that short time of ownership, the item's effect is quite weak.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

For those wealthy yet wise big shots of Jingjiu, spending time and effort on this matter would be a waste.

It's pointless.

...

"I'll have to make a trip back."

After pausing for a moment, Chen Miao spoke calmly. He had perfectly cleared quite a number of secret realms lately, and as long as he returned to Fengtian City, barring any surprises, he should be able to clinch the top spot on the 'Perfect Clearance Evaluation Leaderboard.'

But he didn't plan on participating in this 'City-State Contest.'

Originally, his expectations to attend as the representative of Fengtian City and bring the city a commendable result were part of a reciprocal deal with the old mayor, who for some odd reason was fervently supportive of him.

He promised that as long as Chen Miao could grab a good ranking, he could do as he pleased in Fengtian City.

It was partly because of this, and to smooth the way for Zhou Shen's political career, that he decided to compete in the City-State Contest.

But now, with the old mayor gone and after the trial with the new mayor, it was clear that the new mayor was not as resolutely supportive as his predecessor. With Zhou Shen stepping down to make way for others, the City-State Contest lost its significance for Chen Miao.

His latest goal was to keep a low profile and develop slowly, naturally avoiding such flashy, profitless activities.

He once had aspirations of making a name for the 'Tomb Guardian' faction to attract more talents. After reminders from Zhou Shen and others, he realized the catastrophic consequences if the 'Tomb Guardian's' faction effect were to be exposed.

So—

that idea gradually faded away.
