"I've added a spirit energy absorption function to this handgun, as well as improved its material ductility, high-temperature resistance, and strength. For instance, try pressing that thing for reloading," Qi Tian said, his demeanor becoming animated as he spoke about his creation.
Lin Xiao, however, did not immediately press the button. Instead, he eyed Qi Tian warily.
"Oh, it's fine. Pressing it will just transform the handgun," Qi Tian quickly reassured him, understanding his caution.
"Alright."
As Lin Xiao pressed the button, the handgun began to transform and expand. In just two seconds, it had become an anti-materiel sniper rifle in his hand.
"I've pushed the material performance to its limits, while also incorporating some lightweight design and the latest energy source. Normally, it can fire about a hundred rounds a day using the spirit energy it absorbs, and its power should be about thirty percent greater than the original .50 caliber. I've also used shock absorption methods to mitigate about eighty percent of the recoil."
Qi Tian spoke with a hint of disappointment. "It's a shame. When I was making this, my skills weren't as developed, and I could only achieve this much. Otherwise, with my current abilities, the bullets wouldn't have an upper limit, and the recoil could be reduced by over ninety percent."
"Impressive..."
Lin Xiao looked at the anti-materiel sniper rifle in his hands. He could now hold it with one hand and maintain accuracy.
"Oh, and to make it so that even a blind person could hit someone with this thing, I've added a super aiming system. Once it locks on, even if the target uses cover, the bullet will find a way to curve and hit them."
As the creator of this item, Qi Tian spoke with pride. He then watched Lin Xiao, who had put away the handgun, and noticed a hint of fanaticism in his expression.
"Is there anything else? Like bulletproof vests? Combat knives or something?"
Lin Xiao's hands suddenly gripped Qi Tian. "Grenades? Individual rocket launchers?"
"What's the use of those?"
Qi Tian finally managed to break free from Lin Xiao's grasp, pouted, and tossed a small cube to Lin Xiao.
"Here, take it and have a look."
"A look?"
Lin Xiao looked at the cube, with sides less than five centimeters long. What was this?
"See that spot there? There's an imprint for you to press," Qi Tian pointed. "Try pressing it."
"Okay."
The moment Lin Xiao pressed it, he saw the cube rapidly unfold and begin to cover him.
Three seconds later, he was completely encased in a semi-transparent armor.
"Nano-suit. I got inspired while watching movies and tried to make something similar. For example, it has an auxiliary system to help you aim and detect your surroundings..."
Qi Tian continued to chatter excitedly. Lin Xiao, looking at the suit on his body, finally understood. The people of the Artifact Sect truly shouldn't casually leave their mountain.
If they were recruited by any armed organization...
It wouldn't be long before a large number of Iron Man-like figures appeared in the world.
"Qi Tian, I think I have a better deal to make with you now." Lin Xiao's mind raced, and the nano-suit quickly reverted to its cube form.
