Chapter 242: Testing the Spirit Sniper, Adjusting the Scope

Ji Ci was pleased to see Qin Xiao’s surprise. Finally impressed, eh, brat?

Rapid fire was easy to design. Finding materials that could withstand it was the hard part, which was why Ji Ci had used the best he could get for the barrel.

Qin Xiao was paying anyway. Ji Ci had chosen materials for their strength, without looking at the price.

“Master, that really is an amazing improvement. But did you think of one problem?”

Qin Xiao’s shock wasn’t just directed at the hundred-round continuous firing, but at the staggering cost it demanded.

“What problem? Can the materials take it? Don’t worry. I used the most suitable ones. A hundred shots in a row will be no problem.”

Ji Ci thought Qin Xiao was worried whether the materials could take it, and quickly reassured him.

“Master, I’m not questioning if the materials can endure it. I mean I cannot endure it! High Grade Spirit Stones! Just calculating based on the Middle-Grade Spirit Sniper’s requirements, one shot costs one High Grade Spirit Stone, and charging the array requires a thousand High Grade Spirit Stones. That means it takes one thousand and one High Grade Spirit Stones just to fire a single shot. Converted to Low Grade Spirit Stones, the cost of one shot exceeds a billion! And you built me a hundred-round continuous-fire mechanism? A hundred billion? Even if I scooped up all the sand in this river and used it as Spirit Stones, it still wouldn’t be enough!”

Qin Xiao rubbed his forehead. It was a good improvement; he was just too poor to use it. Even the Celestial Emperor might not dare fire a hundred shots at once.

“Oh? So you don’t have many Spirit Stones either? Never mind. Poor people have their own way to fight. Single-shot mode works well too. It’s not cheap, but this is the improved version. You’ll get your money’s worth.”

Ji Ci had never expected Qin Xiao, a man who never complained about money, to actually cry poor in the face of the High-Grade Spirit Sniper. But at least there was still the single-shot mode.

Qin Xiao had no words. Master, do you hear yourself? A poor man’s way to fight? A billion for one shot, and you call that cheap?
