Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Chapter 037: All That's Left is the Bullets

The gun body is engraved with a sturdiness array and a spirit energy conversion array on both sides. The sturdiness array is used to improve the stability of the gun body, while the spirit energy conversion array has three spirit energy extraction and output modes: stable output, free output, and violent output.

The gun barrel needs to be engraved with an acceleration array to increase the bullet's muzzle velocity. Since martial artists and Qi Refining cultivators generally have extremely high reaction speeds, bullets without acceleration might simply miss their target. Later, when one's weapon-forging skills are higher, one can consider how to make the bullet automatically track targets; a straightforward method is only suitable for low-level combat.

No martial artist or cultivator would stand there dumbfounded and wait to be shot!

Later on, a silencer array will need to be added to the barrel so that it can be used for sniping. A silencer can indeed reduce noise, but it is definitely not as effective as a silencer array.

Actually, a cooling array should be added to prevent the barrel from overheating. Now that there is an acceleration array, the muzzle velocity of the bullets is higher than that of the original gun. Even with a sturdy array, it won't be able to withstand prolonged use.

With Shen Bai's current abilities, he is not capable of inscribing so many magic arrays on such a small gun barrel, so he only chose the most crucial acceleration magic array.

Make two magazines, one flame magazine and one frost magazine.

After designing such a complex pistol, Shen Bai felt a chill run down his spine.

Previously, he only had a theoretical foundation, but now, even though he was using a spirit power converter to inscribe magic arrays, which were just the most basic ones, he still felt somewhat at a loss.

Fortunately, although it sounds complicated, it is not actually difficult. Unlike weapon refiners who need to create many complex fusion formations, Shen Bai is quite confident in his ability to create one formation for each component.

He first drew the corresponding parts and magic array design, and then began to carve the magic array lines on the mold. Because he was not a weapon refiner, he could only use this most rudimentary method.

This step requires extremely high hand stability; if Shen Bai's hand trembles even slightly, the entire mold will be ruined.

Seeing the sweat beading on Shen Bai's forehead from nervousness, Shen Wenwen took a towel and wiped it off for him from time to time.

This time, there were no "Please answer the question" or "Quick Q&A" sessions; Shen Wenwen quietly played the role of a little helper.

Fortunately, Shen Bai's hands are always very steady, and there were no mistakes in carving the arrays.

The most difficult part is the spiritual energy conversion array, because there are three modes, so the spiritual energy conversion array needs to be fine-tuned. Since it does not involve fundamental changes to the design, it is not difficult to achieve with Shen Bai's current experience in array formations.

There are three modes, each requiring manual adjustment of the magic array. Shen Bai designed a small wrench for them, which is a last resort at this stage. Once he reaches a higher level and gains spiritual awareness, he won't need to go through this trouble anymore.

At the same time, he used the spirit power converter to activate his spirit power and melt a kind of spirit material he had bought called Thousand-Refined Steel.

Once the steel has melted, the molten steel is poured into a mold, and the parts begin to take shape and cool.

Shen Wenwen watched with great interest, occasionally asking about the function of each component.

This is a delicate task. After all the parts cooled down, the sound of roosters crowing could be heard outside.

Both of them were martial artists, so staying up all night wouldn't have much of an impact.

Shen Bai picked up the corresponding parts and began to fill the engraved array lines on the parts with a solution that melts spirit metal. At this point, much of the work was already done naturally.

Soon, the spirit gold was filled, and Shen Bai fumbled around, slowly assembling the various parts together.

Slowly, a Desert Eagle with a black body, polygonal barrel, and golden array patterns appeared in front of the two.

Because Shen Bai needed to inscribe an array on it, this gun was slightly larger than the original Desert Eagle, but not by much. Unable to find rubber, the grip was temporarily wrapped with paracord. The gun body hadn't been polished yet, currently displaying the raw colors of the thousand-refined steel and spirit gold, but even so, the gun was already very beautiful.

Wow, so handsome!

Shen Wenwen reached out and took the Desert Eagle from Shen Bai's hand, admiring it dearly: "Brother, make one for me too!"

Shen Bai laughed and said, "No rush, this is just a prototype. We don't know if it's any good yet! Once I've figured out the gun's properties, I'll make you a better one!"

Shen Wenwen nodded repeatedly, her twin ponytails swaying up and down with her nodding, making Shen Bai's hands itch again.

"While there's still some time, go take a nap. I'll finish making the magazines and bullets tonight, and then we can test the gun!"

Shen Wenwen nodded, lingered for a moment, then touched the Desert Eagle one last time before turning to leave.

After finishing the gun body, Shen Bai still hadn't had time to make the magazine. He was exhausted after a long night and didn't have the strength to continue. He took out a spirit stone and put it into the spirit stone filling slot on the gun body. He immediately felt a terrifying sense of threat emanating from the dark muzzle.

This was the martial artist's intuition telling him that this low-end version of the magical artifact in his hand should not be underestimated.

Without spiritual awareness, Shen Bai could not sense whether the formations on the gun were correct; he could only rely on his naked eyes to observe them.

Overall, the gun is quite complete. Now we just need to wait for the magazine and bullets to be made before testing its performance.

This was his first magical artifact. Although it was insignificant compared to those powerful magical artifacts, in Shen Bai's mind, it was no less powerful than the offensive magical artifacts crafted by those weapon refiners.

Shen Bai was looking forward to the test firing that evening after preparing the magazines and bullets.

……

By this time, it was almost dawn outside. Shen Bai got up to stretch his body and then began to make breakfast for the two of them.

Once everything was ready, Shen Bai woke Shen Wenwen up from her bed.

After sleeping for a short while, Shen Wenwen was already full of energy when she got up. If this had happened a while ago, Shen Wenwen's morning grumpiness would have been enough to kill Shen Bai.

This is the huge difference between before and after cultivation.

After dropping Shen Wenwen off at school as usual, Shen Bai sat down in the classroom and began designing the array diagram for the magazine.

Now, he hardly needs to listen to anything in class anymore, and the teachers won't call on him, because Shen Bai's humanities grades are indeed outstanding.

He went to the milk tea shop in the afternoon, but didn't hear the manager talk about the follow-up to Pan Li's case. He didn't care much, as he was preoccupied with how to improve his Desert Eagle.

Everyone noticed that Shen Bai seemed a bit lost in thought today. Even the young lady who took a photo with him noticed that Shen Bai's smile was too empty, so much so that everyone strongly requested to take more photos with him, which made Shen Bai receive a lot of jealousy again.

Unfortunately, none of them broke through 80 points.

An Li noticed that he was somewhat absent-minded, so she used heavy punches and kicks to completely wake him up. Only then did Shen Bai perk up and use all his strength to make An Li lie down on the floor of the training room, panting heavily.

When Shen Bai returned home that evening, Shen Wenwen was already eagerly waiting in the simple workspace, and Shen Bai was also impatient, quickly taking out the design drawings he had completed during the day.

The process still involves first carving a mold, then melting the thousand-fold steel, casting the mold, and finally carving with spirit metal to complete the final shape.

Two magazines, one red and one blue, appeared in front of the two men.

This also means that the only thing missing from the gun is the bullets.
