Flight 123 Shooting range
Talk tok-
Jihoo opened the window today and brushed off the dust. I always feel it, but dusting is a very important thing.
Even if you do it every day, you shouldn’t miss it.
I’ve thought about reducing this time and creating artifacts a few times, but this should always be done manually. It’s like a ‘routine’ to wake up in the morning and prepare for the day.
When the cold wind sweeps away the dust, close the windows to fill in the heat. Putting firewood into the wood stove and eating a cool Americano are part of the ‘routine’.
“Coffee smells so good.”
It’s been a while.
It was because for the last 10 days, I hadn’t had time to carve circuits into my magic wand, now the [Dragon Witch].
‘The knights of the cold weather have reached the 13th floor, and the media continues to visit them, and corporate people and reporters also come to the general store… … The requests are gradually piling up, and I have to make artifacts to be put up for auction periodically.’
I was too busy.
But in the meantime, a shooting range and underground storage under construction behind the general store were completed. It’s only been a few weeks, but it’s already done. After all, the world with magic is different even if it is different.
Of course, that magic is also the power of money and connections.
Jihoo finished cleaning up and came out. It is to check the finished shooting range and underground storage in the backyard.
“… … It was built so nicely.”
It is a one-story building.
However, the blue windows and the charcoal gray frame in the obliquely cut shape, like a 2:8 parting, harmonized better than expected. It was a sophistication that did not go well with [Street of Artisans].
– Recognizes the user’s magic pattern.
-User [Shin Jihoo] has been confirmed.
-Release the [Lock].
Needless to say, even this security device was completed. I wondered if even such a device would be necessary in this small distance, but it could be better than nothing.
Click.
When Jihoo went inside, a spacious space was revealed. It was at least twice as wide as it looked from the outside.
‘I’m sure it’ll be upper-middle class?’
definitely good quality
At least three 6-star wizards would have been mobilized and the magic circle drawn and circuits installed for a week. so it comes out like this
Jihoo tried [Reading].
『Trust Shooting Range [Space/Defense] [Building] [Lv. 07]』
: A shooting range built with reinforced steel and mana concrete. A basic security circuit and a force field defense device are installed, and the most important target practice device is a system from Efield, a company specializing in firearms.
* [Security Circuit (Lv. 06)]
* [Large defense field (Lv. 07)]
* [Shooting practice system (Lv. 07)]
“… … Wow, this is only 12 billion?”
Director Hwang Se-hyun said.
I will do the work that does not leave a profit.
I didn’t think it would actually happen, but I thought that at this level, even if I lost money at Samhyeon, I would have seen it.
‘Like Aunt Miyeon said, it’s like making a shelter.’
The reason will be great.
Aunt Miyeon told Chief Hwang Se-hyeon that he might need a bunker or shelter, and Chief Hwang Se-hyeon discussed something with Chairman Sam-hyeon and approved it.
Jihoo shook his head.
You don’t have to think about that yourself. Such worries only come after Aunt Miyeon or Mr. Jiyeol’s level of skill.
Jihoo took out [Thunder] to try out the shooting system.
“… … Is this a bit like that?”
Jihoo thought over the explanation about the shooting practice device. The site manager explained about the building right after it was completed.
‘Basically up to level 8 it will be an impact force test. However, it’s usually better to have it below level 6, and it automatically recharges up to level 7. However, if you reach level 8 or higher, you will need to replenish one intermediate mana stone.’
There is a continuous circuit or continuous magic circle in the building itself, so it consumes quite a bit of magic power. If it is simply maintained, it is not necessary to charge it separately, but it is said that it is necessary to charge an intermediate mana stone if a destructive power test of level 8 is performed or a large force field is used.
Jihoo put in [Thunder].
I couldn’t burn tens of millions of won to test the thunder I had already used.
‘I wish I could shoot it lightly.’
There is also a way to reduce charging, but that doesn’t mean that level 8 destructive power becomes level 7. It’s only slightly stronger or less strong at level 8.
“How big is the basement warehouse?”
Going down to the basement, a spacious space came out.
It seemed to be about 30% larger than the first floor. It seemed like a good place to store tungsten bullets and various supplies.
‘If I get a chance later, I’ll have to strengthen it overall.’
You don’t have to do that right now.
If it’s a level 7 large force field or a space expansion magic circle like this, it’s hard to get better just because Jihoo touches it.
Jihoo smiled as if he was satisfied and came out.
* * *
Jihoo had to come to the shooting range with Heeyeon Lee an hour later.
“Is this really measurable to level 8?”
“It’s possible, but you have to replace an intermediate magic stone. Automatic recharge up to level 7.”
She came to Jihoo.
Hearing the news of the completion of the shooting range, he asked Jihoo to test his destructive power and practice shooting.
Of course I allowed it.
The sword-off I gave her is level 7. In terms of destructive power, even level 6 is at a high level. Depending on the distance and target characteristics, it could show up to level 7 destructive power.
Jihoo stood on one side of the machine and started the destructive force test system.
OK.
-Prepare for the [firearm destructive power test].
Letters appeared on the machine monitor, and a semi-transparent forcefield appeared in the center of the empty shooting range as a rectangle.
as many as five
“oh… … that’s interesting.”
“The station field at the front is level 4, and the station field at the end is level 8.”
Jihoo looked at the station manager.
Having only seen magic before, I couldn’t fully understand the composition. Because it wasn’t easy to look inside.
But now it was different.
Whether it was because of the [Dragon Witch] or the [Clairsight], I was able to see through the magic power that drives it just by looking at the station field.
Now that [Read] is level 7, you can feel most things the moment you see them, but starting from level 8, it was difficult, and that’s what I started seeing at first glance.
“It seems that the amount of impact is measured in each force field. physical and magical powers. up to pressure per area. So, calculating the amount of impact with a blunt weapon and a knife can’t be the same, so it seems like a configuration to judge that.”
Jihoo said while looking at the analysis list on the monitor.
“Ah, here it is. Even the destructive power according to the target material will be displayed as a level. There are things like blunt weapons that are strong against rocks and iron, and those that are strong against black leather.”
“… … .”
“… … ?”
While Ji-hoo muttered that, Lee Hee-yeon, who was next to him, was looking at him with strange eyes.
“Why do you look like that?”
“Why are you talking so much? They say that as you get older, you talk more… … .”
“What does that mean again?”
“Anyway, after studying magic lately, it’s no different from Yerim.”
“Ah, how do you compare to him?”
“Miji is the same. The more you know, the more things you want to say. You just have to experiment and see what comes out.”
“… … .”
“Keuheum, anyway, let’s start?”
Seeing Jihoo’s unusual expression, Lee Hee-yeon immediately raised the sawed-off shotgun.
Perhaps he had practiced a lot, the handle of the gun had become smooth. There won’t be anywhere to practice, but it’s really great.
She stood in her place.
Then, a target was set on the force field with a hologram on one side.
“Can I shoot like this?”
“Yeah, just shoot in the center.”
Lee Hee-yeon aimed at the center of the station manager.
and.
Taang-!
With an intense noise, the force field crumpled like paper. The first stationmaster did not last even for a moment, and neither did the second stationmaster.
and the third stationmaster.
Geuggeugguk!
The slug bullet hits the force field and rotates. Originally, the shotgun did not have a steel wire, but I could see how it was rotated and struggled to break through the force field.
when the tan turns red.
Sseuseuk.
Tangler.
A flattened slug bullet fell to the floor.
Jihoo witnessed all those moments.
When Lee Hee-yeon pulled the trigger, a noise spread to the surroundings, and the noise was soon dissipated by magic with a specific pattern.
‘It looks like a soundproof magic circle.’
The rotation of the slug bullet also seemed to be the force of the force field. It was not simply measuring the destructive power of hitting the force field, but analyzing the characteristics of slug bullets while maintaining the moment of contact with the force field.
I thought it would be calculated excluding the force due to rotation, but it seems to tell me what kind of strength is if I calculate it and carve a steel line.
‘It’s more amazing than I thought.’
It was one shot.
With that, the system that analyzes all of this came into Jihoo’s eyes. It was definitely a great, coveted system.
‘Certainly my eyes have improved a lot.’
It’s not just eyesight, it’s an eye that sees through mana and patterns of that mana. There are things that I know more about, but the sense of feeling the magic itself has improved considerably.
It must be because of the [Dragon Witch].
“Oh, great. How big is this?”
“yes?”
Jihoo showed the monitor.
[Destructive power level]
1. Penetration: Lv. 03
2. Impact Power : Lv. 07
3. Destructive power: Lv. 05
4. Magical Influence: Lv. 03
5. Magic Resistance: Lv. 04
.
.
.
Total power level: Lv. 06
There were quite a few lists, but none of them really mattered. I was also curious about the difference between impact force and destructive force. Impact force is the force of pushing, and destructive force is the power of destroying something by combining the force of pushing and penetration.
‘Is there a need to share this in detail?’
Jihoo was curious for a moment, but then he thought it might be necessary for someone who uses firearms.
When hunting a rocky golem or a bear with plenty of fat and muscle, you have to change your weapon altogether. Or hunting slime would be a completely different thing.
“Do you want to practice shooting?”
“huh! I really want to try it!”
This time it was shooting practice.
Choose a type of firearm, [Snipe] where accuracy is important, and [Rapid Fire] where quickness is important. And there was also training to respond to specific situations.
“… … It’s probably because it’s a sword-off. Wouldn’t that be quick?”
“Well, there’s also a balance adjustment.”
Jihoo activated the shooting practice system.
Then, dozens of targets appeared in front of Lee Hee-yeon. The shape of the [Black Toothed Bat] was also overlaid with a light hologram, and it seemed like it would be a realistic practice.
Taang-!
Her shooting began.
“and-“
As soon as Jihoo started, he exclaimed in admiration.
He also has [Super Sense], and his abilities are already in his mid-30s. His magic and production-related stats were in the mid-to-late 40s, but his physical stats were still around that level.
But at least that much, you had to be able to see most of the movement with your own two eyes. Besides, isn’t there such a thing as [Clairvoyance]?
Swoop, Taang-!
swish Poof! Taang!
Lee Hee-yeon’s movements seemed possessed.
He hit the target flying in front of him at once, then hit the target on both sides one by one, moving only his upper body with his feet fixed on the floor.
Her accuracy seemed perfect, whether it was because of her [Super Sense] or her natural talent, and her quickness was also her specialty, so it was bound to be perfect.
Cheek-Tah.
Hand dexterity is also in good shape.
I couldn’t see the hand that was opening the shotgun and loading it.
Taang-!
‘Surely great. No, maybe Hee-yeon is more talented with firearms than daggers?’
I hadn’t thought of that.
It’s to the point where I feel sorry for the shotgun.
I wondered what it would be like if Jihoo made [Wind of Lightning], which he had made for President Park Sang-gyu of [Pierced Shell Case].
It didn’t sound like a bad idea.
Although the destructive power is low, one of the troublesome things on the 7th floor of the [Tower of Indomitability] is the [Snowman Storm] that blows in once in a while.
About 1,000 level 4 [Ice Spirits] flock around and cause storms and waterspouts, and even if you wipe them out with large-scale magic, dozens or hundreds of them will come from different directions.
‘Since Miji also said she’s going, I’d like to use magic to sort it out and have Hee-yeon help with quick fire.’
Jihoo was also planning to use magic himself.
With that much, he might be able to survive on the 7th floor without difficulty. Or, even the 8th floor might not be difficult.
