CHAPTER TEXT:
PS: Here comes today's update, and by the way, let’s boost the 'QiDian' 515 Fan Festival. Each person has 8 tickets, and voting comes with QiDian coins. I humbly ask everyone for their support and appreciation!
With the good item in hand, Ye Zhongming naturally wanted to test it. Since both deadly marksmanship and lightning magic consume mental energy, it wouldn't be wise to waste them at this time. Therefore, Ye Zhongming only planned to test the power of the Crystal Energy Magic Bullet Gun.
He went out and asked Young Master Yun for five Grade 1 Magic Crystals, placed them into the gun’s hand rest, and pulled the trigger towards the distance.
Then... there was no response.
Ye Zhongming stood there dumbfounded for a while. He certainly didn't think that this purple weapon was broken, as its durability was still full. So what was the problem? He also had lightning energy, after all.
After a while, Ye Zhongming realized that perhaps the energy of five Grade 1 Magic Crystals was insufficient to fire this gun. After all, this was a purple-level equipment, powerful and requiring a lot of energy; five Grade 1 Magic Crystals might not be enough.
With no other choice, Ye Zhongming had to go out again to find Shasha and borrowed five Grade 2 Magic Crystals.
There was no way around it; Ye Zhongming had spent all his money on the Poppy Wheel, and now he was utterly broke.
Shasha was very curious. She didn’t mind giving Ye Zhongming a few Grade 2 Magic Crystals since he was a big spender, but what could make this esteemed person come out to borrow items? She then asked, and Ye Zhongming replied sullenly that he was testing equipment, which instantly piqued Shasha's interest.
She knew Ye Zhongming was a craftsman, so what kind of equipment could he be testing? After Ye Zhongming left, this woman immediately began to ponder whether she should get some magic crystals to see if she could be the first to purchase this new equipment.
Ye Zhongming naturally had no idea that his actions had led others astray; he only wanted to know the power of this gun.
After placing the five Grade 2 Magic Crystals, Ye Zhongming thought it would work this time. He found a secluded spot and pulled the trigger.
...
Ye Zhongming started to sweat; this thing still had no reaction.
Five Grade 2 Magic Crystals didn’t work?!
Was it eating magic crystals?
Ye Zhongming held the Crystal Energy Magic Bullet Gun, which looked beautiful from every angle. However, at this moment, in his eyes, this gun was a demon that devoured magic crystals, even scarier than Yangos.
Feeling pained, Ye Zhongming took out a few of his promoted Grade 3 Magic Crystals and put them into this purple-level firearm. Gritting his teeth, he decided to find a target for testing instead of firing at a wall.
Carrying the gun, which now had no purple glow under his control, Ye Zhongming spent half an hour searching for a small group of wandering zombies nearby.
There were about a hundred zombies in this group, among which a few were Grade 2 lifeforms that acted as leaders. They were probably lingering here because they encountered survivors earlier, instead of heading directly to the precise exchange wheel.
Ye Zhongming stepped out from his hiding place. Now, as a four-star evolver, he wasn't afraid of these low-level zombies even if he were empty-handed.
The over a hundred zombies, upon seeing a moving fresh piece of flesh, instinctively approached, instantly becoming agitated, with those few Grade 2 zombies charging ahead.
They were not very sensitive to evolver levels yet.
Ye Zhongming pulled the trigger of the Crystal Energy Magic Bullet Gun, powered by five Grade 3 Magic Crystals. He was determined that if five Grade 3 Magic Crystals still couldn't activate this purple-level weapon, he would put it in the farthest corner of his space and wait until he reached six-star level to deal with it!
Fortunately, the gun fired.
The sound wasn’t loud, probably due to the lightning energy being released, creating a slight sizzling noise. However, everything happening in front of Ye Zhongming left him in a daze for a long time.
