Chapter 1358 - 894: Alchemy Camp_2

Chapter 1358: Chapter 894: Alchemy Camp_2

The Alchemist did not speak, only nodded and noted it down.

Carl was checking his assault crossbow.

"No problem with the rapid-fire, very smooth. But dealing with high-evasion beasts like the Shadow Claw Beast feels like the piercing power is still lacking. The first shot didn’t hit the vital spot, needed a second shot to finish it off.

"The trigger requires a bit too much force, making my finger sore during rapid firing."

"The first issue is not really an issue, don’t mention it next time. This problem has now the most balanced solution.

That’s not a problem with the crossbow, but the target itself, its magic power will..."

"Stop, stop, stop, I got it, I’m just complaining, ask someone else." Carl quickly said.

Erica nodded in agreement with Carl’s sentiment and added: "’Barrier’ shield generator operates stably, the impact effect is great too, just that the magic power consumption is a bit fast, creating a sustainability issue during high-intensity engagements."

The magic power source for this weapon comes from themselves.

If magic consumption is too high, might as well learn a similar spell.

The Alchemist’s fingers quickly moved over the rune screen on the recording board, murmuring to himself.

"Received... Tol’s feedback mentions transient turbulence and stress peak at the energy flow switch node... Need to optimize the buffer structure of the core transformation array, reduce recoil peak by about 15%...

"Rein, Lina, the screening logic in the dense target environment needs enhancement for the locking algorithm, add squad tactical priority module...

"Priority for energy magazine capacity enhancement scheme B2 upgraded...

"Carl, Erica, increase the penetration rune group intensity of ’Piercer-IV’ to the theoretical value of 97%, recalibrate the trigger assistance rune...

"Erica, enhance the energy efficiency ratio of the shield core by 5%, adjust the charge rate synchronously..."

He spoke as he synchronized the adjustment plans and parameter suggestions to the central database of the camp.

Listening to the Warlock translating their vague feelings of "handshake", "unclear vision", "not strong enough" into specific rune numbers, parameter percentages, and optimization pathways,

All team members showed a mix of fatigue and relief on their faces, a "feeling very impressive even though I don’t understand" expression.

This is the logistical power of the Night Watchers, each complaint and discomfort they express pushes those deadly weapons to become deadlier and more handy.

Moreover, being the experimental personnel for the most advanced weapons is actually quite interesting.

Later on, they could brag about it.

Like, "The stuff you’re using now was modified step by step at my request, aren’t you grateful to me?"

"Alright, data is valuable. Take a break, equipment maintenance and upgrade are expected to complete in two hours, try out the new parameters then."

The Alchemist, with satisfaction, held the recording board and briskly turned around to head into a nearby tent marked "Weapon Efficiency Iteration Workshop".

At the edge of the camp, atop a prefabricated observation post, a small figure stood facing the wind.

She was the librarian from Ring Tower City’s Great Library, Bobo.

Beloved wise mouse.

In a perfectly tailored white research robe, embroidered at the collar and cuffs with elaborate golden knowledge runes, slightly stirring in the chaotic magic power flow.

Her pure white fur was exceptionally conspicuous under the dim sky.

Her eyes, like ruby, filled with wisdom, scanned the entire experimental battlefield with interest, her gaze especially lingering on the magic power squad just returned and unloading equipment, and the busy area of the alchemy tent for a moment.

The camp’s direction transmitted weapon testing roars and the stable operation’s glow from an observation crystal pillar, causing her slender mouse whiskers to lift proudly.

"Outstanding effect!"

Bobo’s voice was crisp and pleasant, carrying a slight hint of unabashed pride as she spoke to the young half-elf assistant beside her holding thick stacks of data boards.

"Look, little Totti, this is the superiority of the ’Standard Modular Magic Power Weapon Platform’.

"From design concept to real combat verification, this efficiency! This iteration speed! Wow, Kana must thank me properly later. ℯℯ𝑙.

"And even more so must thank my genius-like... mechanism!"

She deliberately emphasized the last two words, her tail tip happily curling into a circle.

The half-elf assistant Totti skillfully rolled her elegant eyes, seemingly accustomed to such comments.

"Director, your design concept and mechanism are indeed unparalleled," she neutrally stated the fact, skillfully avoiding the evaluation of "genius-like".

"The front-line data and weapon team feedback have been synchronized to the core database of the Great Library and marked as high-priority optimization items."

"Hmm, not bad, not bad."

Bobo nodded, her eyes scanned several key pieces of information summarized on the data board.

"Energy dissipation mode collection of the Gate of Abyss is about complete, the ’show’ here is almost over. Totti, open the passage, return to the Ring Tower."

"As you command."

Totti immediately set down the data board, quickly forming seals with both hands, several small spatial anchor crystals flew out from his sleeve, suspended in front of him.

With the infusion of pure magic power, arcs of ghostly purple electricity burst between the crystals, swiftly outlining a stable teleportation gate just large enough for two people to pass through, its edges flowing with dense spatial runes.

Looking at this teleportation gate, Bobo also felt a bit proud.

Because this portable teleportation gate also incorporated her design.

Of course, Kana offered a little bit of help regarding the rules aspect.

Just a little bit.

Bobo agilely leaped in, Totti followed closely behind.

The instant dizziness from the teleportation dissipated, they were already standing on Ring Tower City’s iconic, geometrically beautiful alloy walkway.

Cold air and faint hums from the Tower of Trial replaced the sulfurous smell and noise of the Abyss.

"This dizziness, no matter how can’t be eliminated."

The assistant next to her said helplessly: "We can’t insist on everything being perfect."

"But always strive for perfection and progress."

Bobo adjusted the tuft of white hair on her forehead that got tossed by spatial turbulence, her small nose wrinkled slightly.

While taking quick small steps towards the direction of the highest council hall towering at the city’s center, she couldn’t help but mutter softly.

"Sigh, another meeting... Probably another push report for the Tariel Continent, some hidden corner might have another Void Rift needing threat level evaluation, or demons in the Abyss making moves again...

"Over and over just these topics, hearing them makes my ears calloused. With this precious time, I could have optimized three sets of those ’Earthly Divine Kingdom’ rule embedding models!"

Her tone carried the unique, childlike dissatisfaction of a researcher towards administrative affairs.

Totti, holding the data board, followed steadily behind, unable to resist quietly teasing.

"Director... According to records, you’ve already missed the regular strategic assessment meetings of the highest council three times citing ’critical research node engagement’.

"Total absence time exceeding three months. This time you happen to be in the city, with no urgent experiments needing your real-time monitoring, attending is a duty."

"Oh, little Totti, you don’t understand this!"

Bobo didn’t turn her head, self-assured, the tip of her tail flicked.

"Absence is for more efficient output! Look at the stuff I’ve come up with, isn’t each crucial at key moments?

"Like this Abyss Gate combat testing platform, isn’t it the best proof? Meetings? Can meetings directly create new weapons to crush demons?"

She kept walking, but her tone carried a hint of bravado tinged with joyful defiance after being exposed for her little acts of laziness, "I call this... strategic time allocation! Understand?"

Totti wisely chose not to reply, merely accelerated his pace to follow the extraordinarily capable yet quirky white-furred ratman director into the heavy and solemn door of the highest council hall.

The low voices of various war zone representatives reporting battle conditions faintly emerged from inside, Bobo’s face hesitated, instantly replaced by a subtle expression mixed with "I truly can’t help but deal with you" and "Well, well, let’s listen then".

The professional aura belonging to the Great Library’s director also rose accordingly.

After all, no matter what complaints she had, as a crucial member of the Night Watchers’ highest decision-making circle.

The progress on the Tariel Continent, the threats from the Void, the Abyss’s movements... these are ultimately the keystones sustaining all she holds dear.

Besides, she’s genuinely a founding member now.

Maintaining the necessary authority outside is essential.

The great Director Bobo.

Haha!
