Chapter 648: Chapter 292: Fine Weapon

Ai Tielang favored large-caliber firearms, so the guns he brought out had very exaggerated visual effects.

They were two revolvers.

Compared to automatic pistols, revolvers also had certain advantages.

Automatic pistols could tightly pack bullets, allowing more to be loaded at once. However, the design of automatic pistols involved the ejection of shell casings and the reciprocal movement of the sleeve, which did not make them very stable.

Revolvers were a different story. If a bullet failed to fire during shooting, a double-action revolver only needed the trigger to be pulled again to fire the next bullet, avoiding the risk of sudden interruption of firepower in combat.

And this was quite important to some Martial Artists.

Due to cyberization increasing the thickness of Martial Artists’ armor and their mobility, the importance of "close combat" was reinforced.

The higher stability of the revolver met the progression needs of some Gunner Martial Artists.

As for the various flaws of revolvers, such as high recoil, few bullets and slow reloading, high demands on the gunner’s skill, etc.

These were all relative to Homo sapiens.

For Cyber Martial Artists, these were not "flaws" at all.

The "quality" possessed by Cyber Martial Artists was completely superior to the limits that Homo sapiens could reach.

Even "high recoil" could occasionally become an advantage in Spear Fight Technique. Many schools of Spear Fight Technique had movement techniques that utilized the reactionary force of firearms.

The two pistols that Ai Tielang provided looked like hammers, even like small hand cannons. Their cylinders were even more exaggerated, entirely protruding.

To match such exaggerated caliber, the other parts of the gun were also very large—large enough to fit an intelligent assistance system.

Panic saw these weapons and was very curious, wanting to reach out and grab them. But Yuki was quick-eyed and quick-handed, simultaneously reaching out with both hands and capturing the weapons from over Panic’s head.

Panic’s cheeks puffed up: "Miser!"

"It’s not a matter of being miserly!" Yuki reprimanded, "You’re not yet allowed to handle this stuff! What if you hurt yourself?"

"You all use them every day!"

Yuki inevitably felt a bit of a headache.

Ever since learning to speak, Panic had been following the Hero.

The Hero was a violent group. Even those who followed the Martial Ancestor’s "Divine Martial Non-Killing" philosophy did not shun weapons—even the Martial Ancestor himself, who disliked the Firearms Path, was armed.

In such an environment, Panic naturally developed a worldview that "firearms naturally exist."

It was not just Xiang Shan, even Yuki, born in this era, felt that the little one was a bit... abnormal on this account.

Fortunately, the little one’s "abnormality" was limited to this. She had no desire to attack, did not hate the world, and aside from the mischief most children have, there was nothing bad about her.

Yuki inevitably reconsidered the question that had been shelved for years. Whether or not to find a good family to send Panic to.

But this decision was not easy to make. Having studied under Xiang Shan for over three years, Yuki had come to understand that the world was greatly distorted, with perhaps no truly safe havens anywhere on Earth.

Panic had also spent some time with the Heroes. Although they hadn’t involved her in any significant matters, she still picked up some of their ways through constant exposure. This wasn’t enough for the government to trace back to the Chivalrous Power through her, but if these behaviors gave the government’s Houndhawk a reason to target her... The mere thought sent chills down Yuki’s spine.

Xiang Shan had once tried to entrust a Burrow Dragon from the Black Valley Lineage to help. However, Panic had been born in an underground base of the Green Forest and had spent a traumatic time there. Going underground could easily trigger some kind of mental trauma for her. It was manageable when Xiang Shan and Yuki were with her, but if she were alone in an underground setting, she would cry until she passed out.

Yuki simply couldn’t bring himself to make that decision.

"Stingy! Stingy!" Panic was still being difficult. Yuki kept a straight face and scolded, "Stop it! If you keep it up, I’ll find a family to stick you with when I go back home!"

Most settlements did not ostracize Outsiders. As long as they could support themselves, they added to the genetic diversity of the settlement.

Panic’s eyes immediately reddened, and she burst into loud sobs, "I’m going to tell Shan! To expel you from the school! Wuh wuh wuh wuh... expelled from the school... wuh wuh wuh... No! Ah ah ah ah ah ah... ah ah ah ah ah ah! Expelled... wuh wuh wuh..."

Yuki scratched his head, turning back to comfort the little girl. After a while, the little one finally cried herself out. She angrily kicked Yuki twice and then limped over to the wall—her kicks were so forceful that her feet hurt.

Yuki sighed. He had absolutely no idea about this issue. He turned to Ai Tielang and said, "Sorry about this, Elder Ai, this..."

"I’ve seen plenty of this type of thing," Ai Tielang waved his hand, "Although Heroes do not advocate ’continuing the lineage is the sole duty of a human,’ the mainstream view represented by the Martial Ancestor does not reject it. Some Heroes, due to genuine love and a desire for family, develop a craving to ’have offspring.’ Such conflicts are not uncommon."

Yuki scratched his head, "Then... what do other people do?"

"Find some secluded nook away from civilization to live in isolation for a while? There are also those like Burrow Dragons who simply build a community centered around family units," Ai replied.

Yuki felt somewhat dejected. If Xiang Shan had been an ordinary Hero, this would have been a viable option.

But Xiang Shan was no ordinary Hero.

"Martial God’s Eleven Defeats" was evidence enough of that.

Xiang Shan was not without pity for Panic. If circumstances allowed, he would also strive to provide a good growth environment for this orphan girl. But for Xiang Shan, "all the people in the world" clearly took higher priority.

Ai Tielang waved his hand again, "Enough, let’s not talk about this anymore. If I say a couple more words, that little girl is going to start crying again. How about this firearm I gave you?"

Yuki turned his attention to the two firearms.

"Excellent weapons," Yuki sincerely praised.

These two firearms were self-modified versions based on the classic model "Davarich Hammer" from a hundred years ago, with some parts more exaggerated than the original and equipped with auxiliary systems.

But undoubtedly, they were excellent weapons.

Ai Tielang smiled, "I’m giving them to you. Modify them to fit yourself, create a storage structure. You shouldn’t need any help with that, right?"

Yuki replied, "Then I should go back and see... since you put it that way."

No sooner had he spoken, the little girl started crying loudly again.

As dawn broke, the other Heroes also returned. Yuki then shared his plans.
