My Players Are So Fierce

(Extra chapter for “Waiting for Immortal Lin” brother [2/5])

Since its establishment, Transylvania’s premier weapons factory has been going all out.

From the initial molotov cocktails to the imitation Mosin-Nagant Rifle, the improvements in alchemy explosives, to making yellow explosives with Lady Triss and even developing long-range firepower like the mortar, which gave rise to a new profession called “Iron Tube Kids.”

Initially, it was just a humorous nickname players gave to newbies using small-caliber mortars, but as the name spread, and the cheap and effective mortars were bought by various players for battle, even being “exported” to the Blood Covenant Clan, after proving their worth in the Blackflame Mountain Pass battle, the developers officially included “Iron Tube Kids” into the professional plan.

Actually, this profession should be called “Ammunition Specialist” or “Goblin Engineer,” but players with a specialty in explosives evidently prefer the “green skin romanticism” of the name Iron Tube Kids.

Their advanced profession is called “Big Bang Boss.”

Still on the explosives specialization route, but they can manipulate more exotic or fantasy-style explosive weapons, and even learn more elite explosives combinations and usage from Loyal Brother or Old Flywheel.

Naturally, every “Big Bang Boss” will have their own file in some powerful department in another world, well, perhaps a “small small price” for such an awesome profession change.

In any case, despite the frequent complaints about the quality, lack of craftsmanship spirit, cutting corners, and inability to keep up with production at Loyal Brother’s weapons factory, its role in enhancing Transylvania’s warfare power is clear to all.

Players complain but everyone knows that without people like Loyal Brother, it wouldn’t work. Without the hard work of the weapons factory, they’d probably be living the “good life” of counting bullets in battle by now.

And today, just as the New Year of this other world is about to arrive, Loyal Brother and his weapons factory have finally come out with the biggest, worst “junk” they’ve ever concocted.

Just in time for the final battle in Shadow Valley, they delivered upgraded personal weapons into the hands of these warriors.

There’s a large quantity, enough to re-equip all the combat units in Shadow Valley, and the bullets are compatible with the previous bolt-action rifles. This was the foundational route set by the weapons factory at its inception — Transylvania simply has too few resources, and they don’t have the time to specialize bullet models, so they could only use a standard to assist in the production of subsequent weapons.

Fortunately, this continent is filled with chaos, and using full-power bullets as a production standard barely achieves sufficient lethality, without having to worry about the bullets being too powerful.

Of course, special bullet types, like those for weapons similar to the “Cannibal Demon’s Hammer,” have to be produced separately. But the good news is that with the help of Old Flywheel and his old treasure Lady Taylor, the weapons factory has no issues with the bullet production line.

The three newly purchased ships under Captain Paula’s command constantly shuttle between Transylvania and Charldo Harbor, transporting the necessary equipment ship by ship, allowing the weapons factory to continue operations without being affected by the front-line warfare. Plus, the three “Genuine Professionals” who joined with Five Wheel recently, immediately brought the factory’s professionalism from “amateur troupe” to “peanuts-worthy” level.

These three experts quickly solved the technical difficulties with the “Iron Fist” rocket launcher, improved the explosive crafting, redesigned new weapons, and even began researching an “otherworldly modification” plan for the steam walker.

This was something Loyal Brother’s group of enthusiasts couldn’t manage, left only to follow Old Flywheel’s “traditional advice” for modifications, but for the three new experts, the difficulty was just perfect for them to dismantle and study “otherworldly military technology.”

In the end, with multi-party assistance, Loyal’s New Year gift successfully reached the frontline soldiers.

The People’s Army Warriors were, of course, the first to receive them. The three thousand Vampire Warriors, who had been thoroughly transformed in intense battles, brought their human Escorts forward, handing their original imitation Mosin-Nagants to Rainbow Cat Hero’s “logistics personnel” and receiving new weapons in return.

The new weapons looked more complex than the bolt-action ones, yet also more compact, with an overall cheap-looking black paint job.

The black gun body was thin and long, without much decoration, the muzzle resembling an oil nozzle with a closing dust cover, and the slender magazine was slotted on the side of the gun body, appearing very convenient for plug-in use.

To ensure accuracy, it even had a folding stock, basically just a bent iron rod that could be braced against the shoulder for shooting.

The new weapon came with a sling, but according to the logistics personnel’s advice, it’s best not to hang it on your body casually.

Although the factory experts made some modifications to this thing’s tendency to misfire, this trait is like a congenital defect that can’t be changed with minor fixes, and keeping the low-cost production doesn’t allow for much repair work.

It must be said, the John Bulls who designed this thing were indeed geniuses in material saving, achieving the lowest possible cost while ensuring a certain amount of firepower.
