My Players Are So Fierce

Although Brother Loyalty repeatedly emphasized that he could make the “Iron Fist” only because he had seen this thing many times in certain war games, people who knew the details, including Murphy, didn’t believe that a war game enthusiast could really handcraft this kind of “primitive rocket launcher.”

Even though the Iron Fist he presented now was indeed the crude version of this weapon when it first emerged in Berlin during World War II.

The multi-tube structure loaded with the most primitive missiles, with no precision to speak of and relying on quantity to make up for quality. The roughly crafted joints made even the vampire lord can’t help but move his feet away, to avoid being injured if this thing explodes.

However, Murphy had no doubt about the destructive power of what Brother Loyalty was holding.

Seeing Brother Loyalty about to test fire at Maxim and Adele’s invitation, Murphy immediately and discreetly took several steps back again.

He was genuinely afraid that if this handcrafted thing misfired, it would catch everyone around in the blast, although the destructive power of this handmade device might not be enough to harm an elite vampire lord and his very capable servants, being careful is never a wrong choice in any situation.

After all, Murphy only has one life in this world, he can only use this life to level up to the maximum, therefore for the current Murphy, any unplanned errors and accidents are unacceptable to him, although living cautiously looks cowardly and indeed is cowardly, but this kind of careful attitude is actually a very good life principle for a vampire who cannot treat his life as a “combat resource.”

And facts proved that Brother Loyalty’s “craftsmanship” was quite good, with very professional design drawings and Little Countess Sharon personally participating in the production, the safety of this thing was at least guaranteed.

“Poof”

In rolling smoke, that thing like an “Iron Fist” flew out from the brass tube, hitting straight on the target 30 meters away and then exploded into dazzling flames that engulfed and ignited everything in a large area around it.

The entire temporary shooting range was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and little Sharon took several deep breaths with great enjoyment, then looked provocatively at Lady Adele.

Murphy, this intelligence officer who was mature both physically and mentally, did not respond to this little honor student’s provocation.

She seriously evaluated the destructive power of the so-called “Transia Iron Fist,” and finally had to admit that this weapon indeed had great merit.

“Can it be mass-produced?”

A kind of light called expectation flickered in Maxim’s eyes, his desire for this thing as the Military Commander was understandable, but regrettably, this thing obviously couldn’t be casually crafted.

In fact, Brother Loyalty couldn’t make this thing under current circumstances, he only provided the design drawings, the actual production process was personally handled by Sharon, a proper mechanic, which means, the Transia Iron Fist currently doesn’t have mass production capability.

However, when the words came to his mouth, the always ambitious Brother Loyalty took a turn.

He put down the slightly hot tube in his hand, and very craftily answered:

“Yes! Of course, the premise is that I have fairly professional manufacturing equipment and production lines, that can’t be achieved overnight. But please allow me to show you another crystallization of our ‘otherworld weapons’ war art!”

Speaking thus, he took out another mysterious thing from his Spirit Bag, that thing was square, overall arc-shaped, two cast iron pieces combined into the main body, with four large characters written on the concave-convex side that read “This Side Toward Enemy.”

When seeing this “otherworld version claymore,” Murphy no longer had any desire to make sarcastic remarks.

Holy crap!

You’re really serious about this!

If I didn’t know you were actually a professional in this field, I would have reported you to the relevant departments!

And judging from Brother Loyalty’s excited condition right now, even if he pulled out a “Lao Gan Ma” for Murphy in the next second, the vampire lord could calmly accept it all.

His current thoughts were very simple.

“These professionals truly deserve to be called professionals, if we let little player enthusiasts do this kind of thing, it would probably take several months to see results, but this kind of professional only took one week with Sharon’s technical assistance to produce a finished product. Ɽ₳ꞐồBÊ𐌔

Ah, having strong backing is indeed beneficial.

And given Brother Loyalty’s age and position in reality, this guy might have actually been on real battlefields.”

Murphy watched Brother Loyalty explaining the action principles of the “anti-personnel mine” in his hand to Maxim, speaking with spittle flying and eyes shining, and thought with narrowed eyes:

“Perhaps, I should give these ‘professionals’ a chance, their authority level regarding certain ‘forbidden knowledge’ is much higher than ordinary people. If used well, perhaps the Transia region could achieve self-sufficiency in weapons much sooner than planned.

Even if it’s just light weapons!

In a world with Spirit Energy, the upper limit of firearms is destined to not be too high, but it’s completely sufficient for ordinary soldiers to use against creatures like gnolls who plague the land relying on numerical advantages.

Most importantly, what Brother Loyalty represents is another world’s countless experiences and accumulated killing crafts in the field of kinetic weapons, as long as he’s given enough time and material support, he’ll eventually be able to make me a blue-fire-spitting Gatling gun.

I absolutely believe that in the face of that level of firepower, the Black Disaster composed of gnolls is destined to become a joke.

Time.

Perhaps it will take very long.

But I can wait!”

Thinking of this, Murphy had already made up his mind.

However, he still needed to consult the “professional” opinion, so he turned his head to look at Little Countess Sharon who personally facilitated all this, and asked:

“I want to confirm one last time, can all these ‘otherworld weapons’ be compatible with Combustion Gold items?”

“Yes, they all can, you just need to add a certain proportion of Combustion Gold powder to the bullets and explosives to increase their destructive power to about the same level as Combustion Gold projectiles.”

Sharon gave an affirmative answer, then she looked at those firearms placed on the wooden table and said with emotion:

“Mr. Loyalty has been telling me that the emergence of Combustion Gold, this magical ‘universal substance,’ is both good and bad for us.

He said the emergence of Combustion Gold hindered the possibility of further engineering development, making dwarves and halflings satisfied with keeping firearms art at the level of ‘launching equipment’ without further exploring the potential of these weapons themselves.

I don’t quite understand what he wants to express, but I can roughly understand his thinking.

The otherworld weapons he showed me seem to be more advanced mechanical creations that would naturally appear after engineering develops to a certain degree without Combustion Gold interference.

‘War artworks’ and ‘industrial treasures’ formed by exploiting the potential of wonderful mechanical structures to the extreme rather than relying on Combustion Gold.

I have seen his hand-drawn design drawings of certain automatic weapons, completely different from the dwarves’ design approach that requires miniature steam furnaces to drive continuous firing, it can achieve pure mechanical automation relying solely on the power of gunpowder itself.

Frankly speaking, this is an area I had never encountered or even thought of before.

But I have to admit, Mr. Loyalty’s approach is very tempting, and has already made me unable to resist wanting to dive in, to create those rather powerful otherworld weapons together with him.

This is a temptation that no mechanic can resist, of course, I also have to admit that the design drawings he presented are not entirely suitable for our environment.

After all, even if a gun can spew thousands of bullets in a minute, it cannot enable an ordinary person holding it to kill legendary creatures, and Spirit Sovereigns like Lady Tris certainly cannot be defeated by things like bullets.

These little things, even with Combustion Gold added, cannot break through her Spirit Energy shield that’s as thick as city walls.

So, in a world without Spirit Energy and supernatural powers, the might of mechanics can sovereign everything, but in our world, it can only become one of the optional powers for warriors.”

“Hmm, if you say this to your apprentice, he would only answer you that the inability to win is because the ‘yield is not enough’.”

Murphy replied with a smile, then shook his head.

Under Countess Sharon’s puzzled gaze, Murphy coughed once and said to Brother Loyalty who was trying to sweet-talk his way into getting an army order from Maxim: “My warrior, you have completed the task I gave you excellently and even far beyond my expectations, I must reward you!”

“Oh?”

Brother Loyalty turned around with a swoosh, his black mechanical arm on his left arm spurted several white smoke pillars, and like a flexible limb, rubbed its hands together, coming to Lord Murphy’s front with an excited face to receive his reward.

Murphy took out the prepared commission from his Spirit Bag, flipped the seal on his finger, and gently stamped it on the commission.

“Ding”

The beautiful quest completion sound made a note pop up on Brother Loyalty’s character interface:

【Hidden Quest – ‘Otherworld Skyfire’ completed! Rewards issued. Next chain quest ‘Transia First National Armament Factory’ triggered!

Quest content: You have excellently completed the test imposed by the Governor of Transia, and your exquisite skills have conquered this lord’s heart.

He has decided to grant you the power to establish a factory, as the beginning of achieving self-sufficiency in weapons in the Transia land.

Quest Objective: Before professional manufacturing equipment arrives in Transia, complete the factory site selection and worker training, and complete the production of the first batch of standard weapon samples within three months and pass the inspection of the Kadman People’s Army, Shadow Intelligence Bureau and other territorial organizations.

Quest Reward: Several military material orders from Transia officials, official manager position of Transia First National Armament Factory, administrative office conferred ‘industrial baron’ title, administrative career level promotion and special allowance.

Quest time limit: 180 days.

Currently available resources: Factory construction startup fund 50,000 gold coins, temporary human resource deployment authority – 500 people.

Note!

Test personnel please quickly find assistants to form the factory management team and quickly build organizational structure to begin production.

Development team note!

Congratulations to the test personnel for completing the hidden manufacturing industry quest and triggering the follow-up quest chain, what needs to be explained here is that when you become a manager of an official organization, you have the right to adjust the organization’s business strategy according to your own ideas and mobilize the funds within it to complete your vision.

However, this entire process must be under the supervision of the administrative office, once there are issues with fund misappropriation and accounts, it will greatly affect the test personnel’s reputation in Transia and even encounter unnecessary punitive game restrictions.】

This series of notes made Brother Loyalty’s eyes shine.

He knew he had finally completed a super big task, but then a laughable achievement popped up:

【Ding! Hidden achievement ‘Server First! Rookie Capitalist’ triggered! This achievement comes with special decorative item ‘Capitalist and Lamppost’ costume please collect from administrative office quartermaster.】

“Holy crap, amazing, Brother Loyalty! We’re still here struggling to fight monsters, and you’ve already chosen the lamppost you’ll definitely be hung on!”

This server-wide achievement announcement immediately brought many private messages to Brother Loyalty, mostly teasing like Joy Stick, and some came to “discuss cooperation.”

Like Leading Pigeon.

He tried to persuade Brother Loyalty to cooperate with his already prepared alchemy cottage to research and develop upgraded versions of Molotov cocktails, and Leading Pigeon had already named it “Peace Dove Brand Napalm” in advance.

Well, it must be said that this is a naming method full of points worth criticizing in various senses.

However, Brother Loyalty had no time to joke around with these guys right now, after accepting this quest and seeing off a group of NPCs, he immediately went offline and onto the forum and sent a private message to administrator Alpha:

What Color is Loyalty:【Brother Alpha Brother Alpha! I triggered a Hidden Quest!】

Alpha:【That’s good news, Hidden Quests are still very difficult to trigger at this stage, looks like you have quite the talent to become a test personnel.】

What Color is Loyalty:【But I need help! This quest obviously can’t be completed by me alone, I need some ‘professionals’ as helpers, those brothers who often chat with me about this topic on the forum.】

Alpha:【Oh, you mean those very ‘serious’ brothers right? You mean, you hope I can send them game helmets?】

What Color is Loyalty:【Yes yes, one hero needs three helpers, please help accommodate, mainly because if we let ordinary people do this I’m afraid something will go wrong, you understand right? What if they learn to make these things in the game and go back to reality to handcraft one, wouldn’t that cause trouble?】

Alpha:【!!! This is indeed something the development team didn’t think of, I’ll immediately report to that side, send me the list of helpers you need, but don’t worry about the game helmet matter.

Let me reveal a small internal news to you.

There will be an update in a few days, and there will be a large number of game helmets distributed then.】

What Color is Loyalty:【Oh oh oh, that’s good then, um, can I find a few more brothers to play together? I guarantee they’re absolutely trustworthy buddies, don’t have any bad hobbies just haven’t played many games before, but they’re super strong in hands-on ability! They can definitely help the test group better test certain field details of our game.】

Alpha:【Emmm, alright, let them fill out applications, don’t hide important information, I’ll approve them later.】

What Color is Loyalty:【Alright, thank you! Brother Alpha you go ahead with your business.】

Brother Loyalty ended the private chat and quickly sent a list to Murphy’s mailbox, Murphy who had returned to the Blood Vulture Halls opened that list in his office.

Sure enough, it was not beyond his expectations.

“Border Town Wanderer, Master Ziwei, Mustard Madman… three foodies with the subtle talent 【Intelligence Gatherer】, were all recruited by Brother Loyalty in one go using this opportunity.

So, Brother Loyalty ah Brother Loyalty, your red heart indeed came with the organization’s mission?”

The vampire lord sat in his chair.

He propped his chin with both hands, looking at this list that might bring him some “trouble,” he hesitated a bit, but quickly approved it.

What should come he couldn’t avoid.

If he kept delaying giving opportunities here, maybe certain powerful organizations from another world would set their sights on his little players, that was a result Murphy didn’t want to see.

He guessed these people currently were still only at the suspicion stage regarding 《Reality Realm》, after all, for a mysterious organization whose forum website couldn’t even be tracked, it would be difficult to start effective investigation even if they wanted to, and rashly conducting in-depth investigations on players who were already involved might let Murphy notice.

In this situation, maintaining a kind of “tacit understanding” between both sides was very important.

This time putting “four pairs of eyes” into Transia was also meant to convey such a signal, at the current stage, everyone getting along peacefully is good, as for how things will develop in the future, let’s wait until that future time point to discuss.

If cooperation is indeed pleasant, Murphy could also make concessions.

And if cooperation is not pleasant, then the testing work of 《Reality Realm》 would have to end early due to various strange reasons such as “insufficient funds/technical issues/company dissolution/mother planet calling/alien invasion/chairman in a bad mood” etc.

For Murphy who holds absolute initiative, this is just a matter of starting over, after all, he who is now in another world has already stood in an invincible position from the moment he crossed over.
