Master of Kaidan

Chapter 238: Chapter 238

"Ah, this..." Feng Xue’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the legendary "Open-Heart Rifle."

When he picked up the gun, its camera-like appearance faded, leaving behind something pieced together with electrical tape and various parts—it was even uncertain whether it could still be called a gun.

Yet, despite its appearance, it possessed incredible effects such as special attacks and instant death against superior enemies.

Undoubtedly, facing an enemy of higher rank, this gun, which could be loaded with buckshot and kill in just two hits at close range, was terribly fearsome. However, because it was classified as a gun, Feng Xue couldn’t use "Arrow Avoidance Protection" while wielding it.

But compared to this issue, which could be avoided with careful judgment, the main problem with the gun was actually the ammo.

Infinite City had no profession that manufactured bullets.

After all, consumables were priced very low, and even if one created magical bullets, their value couldn’t be increased, which didn’t equate to the time and effort needed to make them.

"It looks like I’ll have to get some ammo from the real world. It doesn’t seem too hard to get buckshot from Columbia," Feng Xue thought, quite relieved. As for accidental damage resulting in item destruction... he never considered that problem because he never intended to use this thing as a gun.

The Oathkeeper’s Appearance had the ability to instantly teleport behind a targeted enemy, and as long as he made eye contact with a qualified target, then teleported behind them for a close-range shot, there was no possibility of accidental injury.

After putting away the Abe Tetsuya equipment, Feng Xue started a new round of reforging.

However, it seemed that the big success of the throwaway knife had drained his luck. Aside from a few comical items, there were no particularly outstanding finds. Nonetheless, from the sudden changes in elements, he managed to deduce some characteristics of pure "Identity" in the reforging process.

First, whether the items turned into Black Balls or comical tools, during the reforging process, elements almost never mutated drastically, with only a few instances where new elements appeared, which happened to be elements or tags Feng Xue already possessed.

This likely indicated that these relatively pure "Identities" had absorbed parts of his own imprint.

In other words, using pure "Identity" could largely prevent sudden mutations and additions of tags, though, naturally, if it was supposed to turn into a Black Ball, it still would.

"There are about seventy left, the last one now." Having collected a bunch of Black Balls and comical tools, and looking at his last few dice, Feng Xue took out a set of Full Body Armor.

His current two pieces of functional magical clothing, namely the phantom opera suit which granted stealth and displacement, had become less useful after he began mastering the Complete Heaven Shifting Star Skill. The unbridled fashion was only good for boosting temperament.

Although magical items all shared the trait of being hard to destroy, this was at most the level of a high-tier bulletproof vest in terms of defense. Against other Kaidans, it seemed quite inadequate, and so Feng Xue wondered if he could craft some armor.

As for whether armor would hinder movement, Feng Xue didn’t care at all, given his "Orca" Power. If its appearance was too bulky, couldn’t he simply change it into an orca plushie costume?

After organizing the Full Body Armor, which possessed the "Armor" element, and ensuring every part was linked properly, Feng Xue finally opened the Golden Finger panel, selected terms like "Clothing," "Solid," "Equipment," and threw in the seventy-some dice all at once.

A vortex representing the infusion of elements began to appear, and everything seemed to be proceeding too smoothly, which even Feng Xue found a bit alarming.

But soon, his expression soured, because the darn thing began to shrink.

"Damn! Didn’t we agree no mutations?" Feng Xue watched as the armor slowly shrank to the size of an old-fashioned pencil box and finally stopped. He sighed in relief—

At least it hadn’t turned into a Black Ball.

However...

"This thing looks kind of familiar?"

Looking at the small object with a strong plastic feel, Feng Xue’s mouth twitched slightly. It somewhat resembled the style of those Masked Rider Belts, specifically like the legendary Squeezing Driver which could "squeeze out a person’s intelligence."

The only problem was, the squeezable bottle, or "squeeze jelly," on the belt was empty.

"Come on, don’t mess with me! Without a bottle, this thing is a dud! I’m not Ge Chengqiao!"

Feng Xue’s face was filled with conflict, as she immediately pulled up the Identification panel. The information about "the box" also appeared in front of her:

Name: Fantasy · All Things Squeezing Driver

Elements: [Armor], [Equipment], [Solid], [Survival]

Description: A popular toy of the 22nd century developed by Bandai Company, it is the nineteenth release in the retro series. Due to its playability and safety, it is very popular among children and parents.

This product can compress the energy inside a jelly bottle to generate Masked Rider Armor, not only possessing considerable playability but also having extreme environment adaptability, allowing kids to joyfully experience transforming into Masked Riders even under deep sea or space environments.

Warning: This product cannot replace professional space suits. For related needs, please order the Squeezing Driver (Professional Edition).

Note: This product only provides a general-purpose squeezing bottle. To enjoy the transformation experience of the original Masked Rider, please purchase the original squeezing bottle.

"Damn it, just tell me where to buy it!" Feng Xue threw the salt she was holding onto the ground in frustration, unsure of how to express her sarcasm for a moment.

But, a toy from the 22nd century...

Why does this description sound so familiar?

Just when Feng Xue thought she had screwed up again, a flash of inspiration struck her and her eyes lit up...

"Could it be..."

He picked up the transformation device and placed it in front of him. With a couple of clicks, a highly flexible belt shot out from either side, securing the main body tightly around Feng Xue’s waist.

"Squeezing Driver!"

An intense, somewhat cheesy middle-aged man’s voice effect sounded. Feng Xue immediately pressed down on the lever on the side of the driver.

But, it wouldn’t budge.

Not only that, the cheesy middle-aged man’s voice sounded again, but this time, there was no enthusiasm. It was more like an expression of frustration toward a kid who started playing without reading the instructions—

"The jelly bottle can’t be empty."

"So where am I supposed to get the jelly? Don’t tell me I have to fill it myself... wait a minute!"

Feng Xue’s lips curved slightly upwards as she took down the empty jelly bottle and activated the "Killer Whale" power.

A black and white label appeared on the originally blank jelly bottle, depicting a killer whale leaping out of the water.

"I don’t know if this will work or not!"

With trepidation, Feng Xue inserted the jelly bottle into the driver and pressed the lever again.

This time, the lever moved!

A container with a somewhat plastic feel appeared out of nowhere, completely enveloping Feng Xue. A gray, semi-transparent gelatinous liquid spread up from the bottom of the cup, fully encapsulating Feng Xue.

"Crush~ Flow~ Overflow~~"

"KILLER WHALE IN WEIGHT-D POWER!"
