Chapter 16: Within 7 steps, the gun is accurate and fast.
Around 8 p.m.
In a standard room at the Golden Eagle Federal Concession Hotel, a granite block weighing approximately 40 kilograms was blocking the door.
All the incandescent bulbs were on.
Dong Guanfei collapsed onto the soft bedding and let out a long sigh.
He couldn't be sure whether there would be any evil spirits or other monsters attacking him in the dark, so he could only rest in the light.
Even if the room cost five silver dollars a night, he accepted it.
Tomorrow he plans to visit the Shadow Alliance Club in this concession.
Whether they are "True Strength" or "Transcendental" cultivators, their strength or magical power is too little to sustain them in prolonged battles.
Therefore, the optimal solution is still to use firearms, especially the magic gun.
The reason why Eastern practitioners avoid using firearms is because Eastern cultivation methods place greater emphasis on the mind and state of mind.
They believe that relying too much on external forces will cloud one's mind and dull one's senses.
Firearms are different from magical artifacts or enchanted weapons.
The former relies primarily on machinery or magical devices; the latter is human-centered, with the vast majority of its power activated, controlled, and utilized by humans themselves.
However, this is the view of old-school Eastern practitioners.
The reality is that more and more young Eastern cultivators are beginning to use firearms and demonic spears extensively.
There's no way around it; the concentration of spiritual energy in the world is too low right now, making it extremely difficult for low-level cultivators to fight using only spiritual energy.
As for the idea of "spiritual defilement," we'll have to wait until they're old enough to consider that.
For Dong Guanfei, "a clouded mind" was not a problem at all; no amount of "dust" could stop his extraordinary talent.
Having traveled through time, Dong Guanfei had absolutely no such mental baggage.
Conversely, he believed that "a gun is fast from seven paces away, and accurate and fast within seven paces."
How can one become a grandmaster if one has a gun but doesn't use it?
The key is that using firearms can basically guarantee the loot.
Most importantly, firearms and a space backpack are a perfect match, allowing his combat power and endurance to far exceed what others can imagine.
Of course, you also need to practice your swordsmanship.
In fact, one of the secret methods of physical cultivation is a fighting technique called "Falcon Strike".
"Falcon Strike" is a martial art that combines fist techniques, claw techniques, body techniques, short swords, and short blades into one, just as Wing Chun can be transformed into the "Eight-Cut Blade" sword technique.
The design of the "Fire Feather Blade" is very suitable for "Falcon Strike".
Therefore, Dong Guanfei only needs to master the "Falcon Strike".
The Shadow Alliance is only open to members, whose membership levels, from lowest to highest, are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and King.
The task level is the same as the membership level, but members of Silver rank and above are allowed to accept tasks that are assigned to them.
Under normal circumstances.
The Bronze level represents the "Foundation Building" or "Sensing" stage for ordinary people.
The silver level represents the stage of "foundation building" or "sensing" the "true strength" or "transformation from the mortal realm";
The gold level is the transition from "true strength" or "transformation" to "true energy" or "spiritual energy";
The diamond level ranges from "True Strength" or "Spiritual Inspiration" to "True Meaning" or "Divine Intent";
The King level ranges from "True Intent" or "Divine Intent" to "Sainthood" or "Taoist Entry".
The Shadow Alliance has a powerful background and branches all over the world. Its true headquarters is very mysterious, but it is said to be located at the intersection of three countries on the western continent.
Bronze membership only requires the applicant to register and pay an annual membership fee of one hundred dollars.
Applicants for Silver or higher memberships must also provide fingerprints of both index fingers and complete a task at the corresponding level.
The Shadow Alliance's black market only allows members of Silver rank or higher to purchase valuable items.
For example, only members of Silver rank or higher can purchase the Magic Gun, and Silver members can only purchase the basic model.
However, Silver membership applicants can purchase the basic magic gun on the black market for double the price when performing initiation quests.
The extra amount is a deposit, which will be refunded after successful membership.
If the application fails, the applicant does not need to return the magic gun, and will not return the deposit even if the application is refunded.
Of course, not just anyone can apply for Silver or higher membership; the club will conduct a general assessment or evaluation of the applicants' abilities.
Dong Guanfei will have to experience it for himself tomorrow to find out the specifics.
After thinking it over, he stood up and strode into the washroom, where he was immediately struck by the handsome young man in the mirror.
This appearance, which bears a striking resemblance to the younger version of John Lone, also scores a charm score of 95 in the data panel.
He didn't adjust his height, so he's still around 1.85 meters tall.
When using the distortion of his senses, his magic can last for about 14 hours.
When his body is truly deformed, he can endure it for 28 hours—more than a day.
Regardless of the form of transformation, the image he has ever used will be recorded by "Ruyi", so there is no need to visualize it again when transforming next time.
Therefore, the distortion of the senses can be completed instantly, while the actual deformation of the body takes three to ten seconds.
With a thought, his physical transformation was dispelled.
The skin, muscles, and bones above the neck rippled slightly, returning to their original state within just three seconds.
To conserve his mana, he will almost always use true transformation to revert to his previous form from now on.
Although he can recover his mana in just one minute once he is out of combat and in a safe state, the risk is still much higher.
More than three hours later, at 11:28 p.m.
Dong Guanfei had already fallen asleep.
An uninvited guest arrived at his mansion.
In the thick darkness of the night, a black cat leaped easily over the approximately 2.4-meter-high blue brick wall and landed effortlessly in the courtyard.
Suddenly, the black cat's pupils contracted, a few whiskers stood up, and its nostrils twitched rapidly.
next moment.
The black cat pounced on the French windows of the master bedroom on the first floor of the mansion like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it was on the windowsill, its two paws bracing against the windowsill.
Two bright green eyes immediately spotted a short, red figure searching for something.
The dwarf seemed to sense something and turned to look at the window.
The black cat's two green eyes immediately reflected a grotesque face with rotten bones.
next moment.
Two green eyes glowed with a hazy, eerie green light, which shot towards the ghostly figure, but missed completely.
The ghostly figure flashed into the wall the instant the green light appeared, vanishing into thin air.
The black cat reluctantly jumped onto the blue brick wall, and in its will-o'-the-wisps of blue eyes, it could vaguely see a rapidly flying phantom.
It's too far!
The black cat couldn't catch up, shook its head, carefully observed the structure of the mansion, then jumped down from the wall, walked around the mansion, and then leaped onto the roof.
next moment.
The black cat's body shrank at a visible speed, then it crawled into the vent of the master bedroom bathroom on the second floor and began to carefully inspect the entire house.
At the same time, the ghostly figure appeared in a basement and then merged into the body of the evil-eyed witch who was sitting on a futon.
The evil-eyed witch trembled, her eyes tightly shut, and the deep wrinkles on her face instantly tightened, as if she would fall apart at any moment.
A moment later, she opened her evil eyes, which were mostly white with little black.
"A black cat that has reached the peak level of a vengeful ghost?"
"Is she an Eastern or Western witch?"
"As expected, Dong Guanfei's matter is not simple at all."
"Damn it!"
"That brat has ruined me!"
"Damn it!"
The evil-eyed witch cursed through gritted teeth, then opened and overturned a leather bag, immediately soaking the human skulls and offerings on the altar with a large amount of blood.
The offerings included rice, rotting human entrails, the corpses of mutated rats and snakes, and strange, unidentified bones, among other things.
The air was quickly filled with an extremely strong, nauseating smell of blood and decay.
The wick of the oil lamp, mixed with lamp oil and corpse oil, emitted an ominous, sticky, dim light.
