Chapter 1 In This Era

In this era, such matchlock weapons seemed quite primitive, often requiring a tedious and lengthy reloading process after each shot.

Most importantly, the shape of this musket was strikingly similar to the sawn-off blunderbuss that Squire Fogg pulled out to kill someone in Tortuga! Both had dark, heavy barrels and exaggerated, unique shapes. For a moment, Fang Senyan almost wondered if it was Squire Fogg's gun that had been directly seized.

Fang Senyan gripped the musket's stock tightly. The material seemed to be pine, and the patina formed by the resin and human sweat was smooth and comfortable to hold. The weapon's attributes were also displayed on his Nightmare Imprint:

A line of small characters was engraved on the grip: This gun has always longed to become stronger and meet its brothers.

Fang Senyan looked at the weapon and took a few deep breaths. He had previously scouted some information in the market. For high-level firearms, unlimited ammunition was already a rare and practical attribute, not to mention that this weapon also had an extremely powerful active skill. Although he had lost the eerie gauntlet from the Terminator world, he had gained this extremely powerful weapon in exchange. For him, who lacked attacking skills and therefore had weak burst damage, this weapon had come at just the right time!

Davy Jones seemed greatly surprised and distressed to see Fang Senyan draw this weapon. He lost the mood to continue the conversation and waved his hand listlessly to let Fang Senyan leave. Fang Senyan, having gained an advantage, was also unwilling to stay here any longer, so he bowed and turned to leave. Now that he had calmed down, he carefully observed and noticed one thing: the appearance of the black weapon "Ambition" that he had obtained was at least identical to the weapon used by Squire Fogg that he had witnessed before. Was this a coincidence, or was it simply... a fact?

Witnessing the clash between the two giants, Blackbeard and Davy Jones, naturally stirred Fang Senyan's mind. In addition, he had just acquired a powerful black weapon, so he naturally relaxed a little. After all, Fang Senyan was just a young man. It was just that his mind was more meticulous than others, and his handling of affairs was calmer than others, which did not mean that he would never make mistakes.

For example, Fang Senyan was making a mistake now.

After he came out of the captain's cabin, he did not notice that most of the pirates were gathered on the ship's railing on one side. This side of the railing happened to be facing another legendary pirate ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge. At this time, Fang Senyan was thinking about the origin and context of the gun in his hand on the one hand, and thinking about future arrangements on the other, so he ignored this detail. After taking a few deep breaths, he stepped down the gangway and walked forward along the second-level passage.

Suddenly, Fang Senyan felt a chill in his heart! After equipping "Ambition", although he lacked the all-attribute +1 bonus of the cobalt steel alloy exoskeleton, the increase in agility and perception made Fang Senyan's agility reach 10 points and perception 14 points, which was already quite powerful. Fang Senyan immediately dodged sideways, and saw a pirate-dressed guy suddenly appeared behind him, but the weapon he was holding was one that could never appear in this era!

An Uzi submachine gun!

This weapon had appeared in the Terminator world, sacrificing accuracy for an extremely high rate of fire. But the distance between this pirate and Fang Senyan at this time was only six or seven meters, so the issue of accuracy was naturally not a concern! Without a doubt, they were Contractors like Fang Senyan!

The muzzle of the Uzi submachine gun was already spewing flames. Bullets with a theoretical rate of fire of 1500 rounds per minute instantly poured down like a storm! This was a narrow passage, so at the moment of being pointed by the gun, Fang Senyan's best way to avoid it was to crash into the cabin door on the right, so that he could not only avoid most of the bullets, but also avoid the enemy's subsequent shooting. Just as Fang Senyan was planning to use the evasive action he had learned from the space, he suddenly thought of one thing...

That is, what would I do if I were to arrange this ambush.

At the thought of this, Fang Senyan gave up the idea of dodging, protected his head and face with his hands, and fell straight forward like a wooden stake. Dozens of bullets with hot trajectories flew past his side. A few bullets splashed a few drops of blood on his body, instantly wetting his clothes. But just as Fang Senyan was about to land, his hands suddenly stretched out and pressed on the ground, while his right leg bent and exerted force! He rushed forward in the manner of a sprinter starting a race!

Fang Senyan's agility value had now exceeded ten points. Even if it was not very fast, it could barely be called agile. The distance between him and the gunman was not far to begin with, only six or seven meters, which was only one or two seconds. More importantly, the theoretical rate of fire of the Uzi submachine gun was as high as 1500 rounds per minute, but this was only theoretical! In actual combat, the biggest limitation of this data was the amount of ammunition. In fact, even the modified Uzi submachine gun had a magazine capacity of at most fifty rounds. Any more than that would sacrifice other aspects of performance.

However, the Contractor ambushing Fang Senyan was obviously not a weakling either. He did not expect that Fang Senyan would dare to take the bullets head-on and counterattack forcefully instead of retreating! But after only hesitating for a moment, this Contractor had already jumped back directly! At the same time, he raised the Uzi submachine gun he was holding in his right hand in the air, and the submachine gun's magazine could be clearly seen automatically sliding down from the air, while another full magazine was already held in his left hand, and he inserted it with a light push! This series of processes added up to less than a second, and because this Contractor's burst power was very strong, the distance of his jump back was quite large, so even though Fang Senyan was still in a forward rush, he was unable to take advantage of his magazine changing to narrow the distance between them!

The Contractor looked at the rushing Fang Senyan, a sneer appeared on his face, and the body of the Uzi submachine gun he was holding emitted a faint yellow light, obviously this person had used some kind of skill! Then the bullets in this gun poured out frantically, and most of them "whooshed" into Fang Senyan's body!

But amidst the splashing blood, Fang Senyan did not collapse as this Contractor had expected, but rushed in front of him like a wounded beast, silently smashing his knee heavily into his lower abdomen! The Contractor's face immediately turned green, and he couldn't help but cover his stomach with his hands and bend down, vomit streaming down the corners of his mouth. Fang Senyan took advantage of the situation and raised his hands high, then bent his elbows and smashed down from top to bottom, hitting the back of his head heavily.

This attack was very ferocious, and the Contractor's eyes immediately went straight and he collapsed. For this type of gunner Contractor, agility and perception are often very high, but stamina and strength are weaknesses. Fang Senyan's strength had reached as high as fourteen points at this time. Although he lost the bonus of the cobalt steel alloy exoskeleton, the power was still very strong! Even if these few blows did not kill him, they were enough for him to temporarily lose his combat power for a while.

At this time, the Nightmare Imprint prompted a series of combat records:

"Based on your perception, you will receive the following combat information." "You were hit by the enemy's 9mm Parabellum pistol bullet, the theoretical damage caused is 32 points, the actual damage caused after deducting the stamina-related damage reduction is 24 points, and the check for the talent ability: Toughness failed! The actual damage caused is 1 point! Your Obsidian Fossil Anchor passive ability: The more frustrated you are, the braver you become, your stamina temporarily increases by 2 points, lasting for 300 seconds, this effect can be stacked five times."
