Chapter 204: The Rise of Hybrid Classes

Since there was still no stairs yet, she jumped to the top of the wall.

Li Chunhua approached the trebuchet first.

Upon closer look, she could see the white and red strip beams resembling candy canes and the pink frames, the sling made of sugar stretch into a thin layer to resemble garter, the counter weight made of different colors swirly candies bundled together and it also smell so good. Li Chunhua sniffed a few more times, "If only this were edible..." She mumbled at the cunning marketing design.

She placed a stone on the payload made of fondant.

[Hint: To adjust the distance of the aim, pull the sling. To change the direction, rotate the axle of the beams]

Li Chunhua pulled the sling. Surprisingly, it was so much lighter than she anticipated. With just one hook of her finger, the sling went along.

Moreover, another screen appeared in front of her, telling the distance accordance to the pull she made. The farthest was 60 meters. She couldn’t pull the sling after that or else she might yank the whole beam off.

She needs to be careful because this thing is so expensive.

[Hint: Letting go of the payload will launched the stone.]

Because it was just a test of the special attack, Li Chunhua didn’t dwell on the target screen so much and quickly launched and reloaded the trebuchet for another three rounds.

The stones made a sharp piercing sound as it shots in the air and landed sixty meters creating a 4.5 meter wide and 1 foot deep crater.

She waited 7 seconds in between each pull.

When the fourth the stone was launched, she saw the stone mid-air changed into half a meter diameter strawberry pink ball and when it landed, it didn’t create a crater but splat on the ground forming a pile of pink snow.

"It’s really an ice cream but the system seemed to be mistaken in giving its name." Li Chunhua commented.

She narrowed her eyes and he enhanced vision saw the ground splattered by it had scorched mark, making sizzling sounds like the carrot made when she sang beautifully to, it also emitted thin wisp smoke as those small stones melted like butter.

[...I scream...]

No wonder...That will hurt a lot.

Definitely those monsters hit by that deceiving ice cream will scream like rock music artists hitting the highest note. Now, she had no more questions.

Now, for the ballista, the structure was very different but the operation was the same. Pull and rotate.

The three ordinary attacks were also lethal and in the fourth attack, the stone changed into a peppermint green candy mid-air with a burning fuse.

There was a tiny sound of explosion with rocks and soil flying in the air and small mushroom green cloud appeared as the candy touched the ground.

The cloud dispersed after a second revealing a pit of 3 meters wide. "Amazing! It’s like an explosion talisman. So that’s why it’s expensive." Li Chunhua clapped.

"These would be good for crowd attacks." She mumbled patting the two weapons before jumping off the wall.

She went to get some guns and boxes of the matching ammo in the warehouse. It was not a guarantee that all monsters will die, some might escaped the AOE attacks and this calls for a finishing blow.

[Pistol...]

Now how do I use these? There were no written instructions included or labelled on the guns.

As Li Chunhua read the names of the guns, the memory of her shooting without the guns replayed on her head. "That could work too."

Li Chunhua tossed back the guns to the warehouse’ shelves and only took the 30 boxes of different kinds of bullets.

The players’ average stamina was 14-16. Some had better adapting ability like Fern and Meng Chu. In between their rest, they took advantage of the huts to rest to speed up their stamina recovery.

And it was a coincidence to bump into Li Chunhua who was on her way to entrance of the training field.

"Landowner, are you checking on our progress?" One of the residents asked shyly.

Li Chunhua spun her head. "I was going to teach you how to shoot bullets."

"We can use the guns?!" All of them stammered in a loud voice. Baozi, is so generous!

"Why do we need guns for? We have hands." She replied showing her two hands.

Everyone looked at their hands that were totally miles apart from being guns: Huh?

Seeing the doubts in their faces, Li Chunhua demonstrated her exclusive skill. "I’ll awake the great gunless warriors sleeping inside you."

Everyone: "..." They’re pretty sure there’s no such thing.

Five minutes passed, on the second ring of the training field, 30 feet from the dummy targets, Li Chunhua stood with Elga by her side staring on the boy a few feet from them.

The archer boy named Glen was on the small stone platform, holding a box of bullets in his hands, in confusion.

[Gunless Marksmanship Skill Imparted.]

"Shoot. You can do it!" Li Chunhua cheered, clapping her hands.

"Landowner, how?" Glen turned around and displayed a look of helplessness.

"Just throw the bullets!"

Glen still didn’t throw.

The spectators remained silent but didn’t much hope for these so called gunless warriors nonsense.

"Throw it. Just trust me." Li Chunhua repeated.

"But I don’t know how." Glen shook his head.

After two minutes later...

"Pick one. You throw the bullet or I’ll throw you." Li Chunhua shouted, cracking her knuckles, draining the color on Glen’s face and without hesitation, he closed his eyes and threw the bullet with all his strength.

The 9x19 Glisenti bullet pierced the air with the same force like it was being released through the cartridge of the gun.

But the direction was...

"Glen!" Meng Chu and the other were terrified. Oh no... They closed their eyes not wanting to witness such a horrific scene.

Glen opened his eyes and turned back to the crowd and his face became white as paper "Oh sh*t..."

Σ(っ °Д °;)っ

Elga was also taken aback and opened her mouth wide. "Good Old Witch!"

Li Chunhua only felt something hit and tickled her forehead. She raised her hand and touched the spot, discovering the bullet that now been reduced to a flatness of a copper coin.

(⊙_⊙;) Good throw!

Martial Aunt Elga patted the cheat’s arm in relief, "Good Old Witch, good thing your head is harder than the defense wall."

Li Chunhua blinked, throw the coin to the ground before clapping her hands, "Well done." Even though her head become the dummy target, the results were still satisfactory.

Glen nodded, walked out the platform with his body drenched in sweat and swaying. He nearly killed someone.

"Now who’s next?" Li Chunhua smiled. Her eyes brushed over the crowd shaking like a leaf. No one wants to come forward afraid of the stray bullets.

Seeing them so passive, Li Chunhua cracked her knuckles and they lined up as fast as they could pushing each other to the front.

The next unfortunately fellow was the assassin. "Landowner, I am an assassin, isn’t this only applicable to archer class?"

"Do you have hands?" Li Chunhua asked.

The assassin nodded.

"Then, congrats." Li Chunhua smiled before placing three bullets in his hands. "Just stay calm. You can hit my forehead as much as you could."

[Gunless Marksmanship Skill is successfully imparted.]

The assassin: "..." I dare not to. Glen must be traumatized right now.

Li Chunhua became a good coach and made sound of bones cracking ’encouraging’ the assassin.

Without a choice and deeply ’driven’ by the loud ’cheers’, the man aimed at the dummy target.

The other hurriedly went to crouch behind Li Chunhua, whose skin was thick enough to withstand the force of the bullet and even Elga joined the wise spectators.

Shua-

When they thought the scene would repeat, the assassin’s bullet manage to land on the dummy target and heard a notification.

[Gunless Marksmanship proficiency +2]

[Gunless Marksmanship (P)

-.Who says bullets can only be used when you have a gun? Hands can be mainstream too!..

The assassin looked at his hands dumbfoundedly: <@_@> Doesn’t this means he can be a long-ranged too? Holy Moly!

"That was amazing! Good job!" Li Chunhua clapped her hands and wiped the corner of her eyes, getting emotional. So this was the feeling of being a teacher watching her students improved. It was so good.

The assassin was very happy and went to hug Li Chunhua’s legs. "Landowner! I love you so much!"

The others were confused at the development and went to inquire about and the assassin told them the matter of the skill and each of them became enthusiastic except for the archer who felt he had been scammed by the system.

Inside the living room, Long Haoran who had been glancing at the door from time to time, decided to head out.

He came across the Elf in the living room who focused on making something and the three little fellows who was carving on woods. But there was no sign of Xiao Hua.

Approaching the Elf, he asked, "Where is she?"

Siri only threw Long Haoran a brief glance before saying, "Master is outside. She went to check on something."

Long Haoran was silent for a few seconds before he took out the four barrels of emberward wine. "We looted it this morning."

Siri was startled and opened the covering of the barrels. Activating the appraisal skill, he saw the boosting buff and his eyes widened. "Your giving this to me?"

"There’s still in my inventory but I haven’t finish cooking yet."

Siri understood the man and expressed his gratitude. His impression of the guy increased.

The ones who that were fast enough to buy the catapult blueprint was a resident player who was a veteran flash deals patron of Riveting Winds, while the other one was Si who had terrific reaction reflexes.

The two teams had their natives followed the blueprint. Because the parts of the two blue prints were simpler and the materials were less complicated than the others, the natives were able to build one in just six hours and instantly put them to the test.

The Salted Fish Territory that was built on the peak had a special terrain and rarely was attack by monsters in a past few days, unlike the Riveting Winds and Black Falcon, where they need to constantly assigned patrols to kill off the monsters, preventing them from crowding and ambushing the entrance.

These monsters became the perfect dummy targets for the weapons.

Li Jingnan had an arrow making skill and crafted 10 from the bamboos to load the crossbows. The target screen feature was only available for the salted fish territory, therefore they needed to adapt to the weapon first making them waste a few arrows.

On their sixth attempt, the arrows finally hit one of the agile cat monsters and instantly killed it.

[-30]

[-40]

The other residents cheered.

[Experience is divided into party.]

[You’ve got...]

"We don’t need to waste strength, stamina, and mana for these. Even the non-archers will be able use it. Have the natives continue to build the crossbows and have the others try it too. We can work on shifts once our mana have used up."

In the Riveting Winds, Meiren had also done testing and gave the same commands to her residents and natives.

Those that didn’t manage to buy were messaging Hua and Baozi about reservations and withdrew from the trade market.

Hail the Emperor’s Harem had no choice but to temporarily closed his chat box. His anger for the dumpling fellow and Hua went up a notch.

Meanwhile, news of Vellarheim Igretarius not returning was reported to the Lich King and the latter executed those who recommended and vouched for the warrior along with their families.

He issued another order, it was to contact someone from other race who was eligible to be summoned.

(A/N: It’s 11 pm and I haven’t eaten yet. Btw, happy dinner or midnight snack everyone. Take Care!
