Chapter 5: "Count how many items we have stolen this time."

This talent, well, it could be seen as a talent with a lot of potentials.

But it doesn't immediately take effect.

The same goes for Scar Dog. His talent is also only useful when running for life, and it is random.

This means that for the first three months they were in this world, they were little different from scrounging and living in fear. Only by creating their own weapons and establishing a few small bases did they get a little sense of security.

Kerr Cowell then looked down at the hand cannon in his hand.

"Item Name": Repeating Hand Cannon.

"Item Level": One-Star Item.

"Item Effect": Ammo capacity of 7 rounds. Firing speed is one round per second. Effective killing range is 30 meters. Recoil is 5 kg.

"Item Introduction": The barrel is as thick as a forearm, greatly enhancing its power and guaranteeing the ability to take down a cow with a single shot.

"Modifiable Range": Caliber, ammo capacity, firing speed, barrel length, and recoil.

(ps: Recoil is not calculated in kilograms. But for ease of understanding and numerical description, all recoil in this story will be described in kilograms.)

And the last line of information on the hand cannon panel is only visible to him.

This is the ability brought by his talent, "Arbitrary Transformation".

The caliber and recoil have each been enhanced once, taking up quite a lot of the materials and items he brought back.

"Caliber Enhancement+1"

Effect: The caliber has been upgraded to 5cm. The size of the bullet will automatically change with the caliber.

To further enhance the caliber, you need to offer three One-Star Items.

"Mr. Jacob!"

Just as Kerr Cowell was contemplating on how to modify his hand cannon, Scar Dog's eyes were gleaming as he stared at the menacing Self-Controlled Rotating Turret of Steel Sword.

"Mr. Jacob, please modify the gun turret under your talent."

"We can then find an armored vehicle, mount this turret on its roof. Wouldn't that be invincible?"

"Not to mention anything else, at least there would be no problem in reigning supreme in the wilderness. Then we can deal with that Culver."

"Damn it, he almost got us killed. If we don't get back at him, I won't feel relieved."

Self-controlled Rotating Turret of Steel Sword.

It's a turret that shoots automatically. Once placed somewhere and its program is activated, it'll automatically attack any enemy organisms within the range.

"Item Name": Self-controlled Rotating Turret of Steel Sword.

"Item Level": Two-Star Item.

"Item Effect": Ammo capacity is 1000 rounds. Firing speed is 1000 rounds per minute. Effective killing range is 500 meters. Recoil weight is 50 kg. 270-degree rotation design. Once a whitelist is entered into the program and activated, anyone not on the whitelist who enters the killing range will be fired upon indiscriminately.

"Item Introduction": This machine, can ensure you a good night sleep while in the wilderness.

"Modifiable Range": Caliber, ammo capacity, firing speed, barrel length, and recoil.

Staring at the menacing Self-Controlled Rotating Turret of Steel Sword in front of him, Kerr Cowell couldn't help but be intrigued.

The turret is silver all over.

There's a tripod at the bottom to fix it somewhere. On top of the tripod, there's a gun barrel as thick as a small leg. Behind the backside of the gun barrel, there is a white bullet shell about the size of a packet of cigarettes attached to it. The bullet shell is not detachable and there are several messy power lines.

It looks a little like a Maxim Machine Gun.

Except the workmanship is more exquisite.

He was just wondering about how the turret distinguishes between friend and foe. As it turns out, it does so through a whitelist, which is quite convenient and it has less likelihood of making a mistake.

"We still need to find a vehicle."

After pondering for a moment, Kerr Cowell sighed somewhat helplessly: "If we had a vehicle, we could mount this turret on the roof and go for a big score."

"Unfortunately, the Energy Block we finally got was used up."

"To get another Energy Block isn't an easy thing."

"What I mean to say is…"

Squinting his eyes, Scar Dog paused for a moment before rasping, "We directly carry this turret, run to that Ruins Garbage Dump of Culver's, get him, and steal back his vehicle."

"This old thing has swallowed up quite a lot of our things over time. Old grudges and new grievances, we should settle the accounts."

"Carry it? Who will?"

"Me carrying it?"

"You?"

Kerr Cowell looked Scar Dog up and down: "Do you think your body can handle 50 kg of recoil?"

"Your bones would be shattered by the impact."

"If you modify it, Mr. Jacob, reducing its recoil, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Kerr Cowell thought for a moment before looking at the modification panel of the Self-controlled Rotating Turret of Steel Sword.

"Recoil Modification"

"Required Materials": Five One-Star Items.

"Enhancement Effect": Recoil will be reduced from 50 kg to 45 kg.

The number of items consumed for other modifiable options are the same.

For a One-Star Item, the single attribute is enhanced from +1 to +2, needing 3 One-Star Items.

For a Two-Star Item, to enhance to +1 needs five One-Star Items.

The number of items consumed for these is not on the same scale.

Kerr Cowell hesitated before shaking his head: "No, the consumption of materials is too high. It's not worth it to only enhance its recoil."

"We do need to go to Culver's place and the turret does need to be enhanced."

"But not the recoil, but its ammo capacity."

"We can find a spot and place the Self-controlled Rotating Turret of Steel Sword in a bush. We can kill all of that old thing's men by an ambush."

"Count how many items we have looted this time."

"Okay!"

...

Soon.

The two of them had cleared out all the looted items.

"Mr. Jacob."

Scar Dog placed the last item down and looked up at Kerr Cowell: "There are a total of 26 items, all brand-new items unused and undamaged in any way."

"Half are life items, half are weapon items, and a few are one-time items."

"Using brand-new items to enhance the turret, isn't it a bit of a loss?"

In the past, when they were modifying firearms, they always used semi-scrapped items that they picked up from the scrapyard to do the enhancements, but Culver always guarded against them, not allowing them close to the ruins site.

They could only occasionally steal a few when Culver wasn't looking.

The so-called semi-scrapped items are items that are damaged to the point where they can no longer be used, or even risk self-detonation, but are not completely damaged.

These items are of no use to others.

But to Kerr Cowell, they were excellent enhancement materials.

Kerr Cowell's eyes narrowed slightly, looking somewhat reluctantly at the new items on the table in front of him, murmuring, "If you're stingy with your child, you won't catch a wolf. When we get rid of Culver and we monopolize the Ruins Garbage Dump."

"We will have a lot of semi-scrapped items available for turret enhancement."
