A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 129 The Shadow of Mahabray

"roar!"

A deformed, fleshy creature launched an attack on Jiang Shuzhou.

"Bang."

With a casual shot, he killed the creature and continued taking notes in his notebook.

"Abyss Corruption Experiment: Subject 158, Failed."

The notebook was filled with similar entries, but a dozen or so of them were successful.

The gun in Jiang Shuzhou's hand is one of them.

Unlike typical abyssal creations, this gun has no flesh or blood appearance; instead, it resembles a crystal.

Whispers of the Abyss: The gun resembles a sniper rifle, featuring an automatically adjustable scope. It generates bullets using magic or battle aura, and can also use flesh and blood as substitutes when necessary.

Its main body is black with blue accents, resembling a starry sky, and the gun also emits a faint glow, making it look very cool and stylish.

This is why Jiang Shuzhou kept it and used it.

However, these are all superficial. The reason why the Abyss Whispers is called this is because once you pick up this gun, you will hear whispers in the ear of the gunholder.

The sound was indistinct, seemingly real yet unreal, but enough to break the will of the weak.

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou is not included in this category.

He couldn't even hear the whispers. At first, he thought it was a successful product and was ready for mass production, but when he gave it to others to try, he found that it had side effects.

However, the decent damage of Abyss Whisper, its almost negligible side effects for Jiang Shuzhou, and its attractive appearance prevented Jiang Shuzhou from destroying it; instead, he kept it for his own use.

The rate of fire of Whispers of the Abyss can reach 2800 per minute, and theoretically it can be even higher, but Jiang Shuzhou's magic power was not enough to support it, so it was not tested further.

Anyway, this rate of fire is already pretty good. Any low-level creature will be torn to shreds instantly, and even mid-level creatures can only hold out for a while.

It was quite energy-intensive, and almost drained Jiang Shuzhou dry.

Even Jiang Shuzhou, who has cultivated the Elemental Forging Furnace, is struggling this much; others would probably find it difficult as well.

In summary, this gun is only so-so, because if Jiang Shuzhou had used the consumed magic power to fire spells, he would have killed countless mid-level professionals long ago.

Jiang Shuzhou also has a whole bunch of weapons like Whispers of the Abyss.

After all, everyone knows what the Abyss is like; even the plants there probably bite, not to mention the creatures created with Abyssal pus.

Many creations attempt to rebel from birth, while others are simply too temperamental and explode before even reaching the birth stage.

That is, Jiang Shuzhou suddenly remembered that there was such a thing as biological weapons.

And sure enough, after mixing them together, they all turned out well.

Although the weapon is not very normal, there is no risk of pollution; at most, it might drive people crazy, so its safety level immediately meets the standard.

Of course, these weapons will require a lucky few to use them over a long period of time before their level of danger can be fully determined.

After all, apart from Whispers of the Abyss, which Jiang Shuzhou doesn't plan to sell, he plans to sell everything else. Otherwise, what would be the point of him researching so many things?

Are you just researching it for fun?

Who should we experiment on?

Of course, they're my fellow villagers!

After all, seeing fellow villagers brings tears to one's eyes, and Jiang Shuzhou had already submitted an application to get some players over.

He'd been in the North for too long, and his social circle was too high up; he rarely saw these lovely fellow countrymen.

Now that we've met them, we certainly can't treat our brothers unfairly.

The right to purchase these weapons must be prioritized for the villagers!

No one else is allowed to buy!

This is why I have such a strong preference for my fellow villagers!

"Brothers! It's me again, it's '87!"

"As we all know, ever since the situation in the Storm Sea escalated, we players have been like cannon fodder, dying in batches. I won't go into the details, but it was a terrible sight."

"If you're just planning to play for a short time and make some money, that's fine, but if you're planning to play long-term, then that won't work."

"The authorities probably think we died too quickly and made too much money, so they're afraid of inflation."

"The first resurrection now has an eight-hour cooldown, the second one is sixteen hours, and it gets longer and longer with each subsequent resurrection, it's an exponential increase."

"Fortunately, it will automatically reset next month, otherwise many players probably wouldn't have been able to save many lives."

"Besides, if you die once and don't have any resurrection coins, you can just delete your account and start over. The official only gives you one resurrection coin."

"In order to make even more money, my personal recommendation is not to risk your life."

87 talked for a long time, but some people in the comments didn't buy it.

"What kind of talk is that? If I don't risk my life, what am I supposed to do?"

"Did you know that there are only about 100,000 people who can naturally advance to the first rank right now?"

"You're already at Tier 3 as a top-tier player, and we're still not full!"

"Let's call it a day, there's something wrong with this streamer."

87's words made my head spin. I hadn't even finished speaking when they started judging me?

"Brothers, think about it, the war in the Storm Sea is so brutal, and you only get a little money for dying once."

"But! But it's different here."

Immediately afterwards, 87 looked around so that everyone in the live stream could see the surrounding scene.

It was a military camp.

"We are currently on the outskirts of Mahabray, heading to the mountain fortress to support the Mage Alliance forces there."

"Then some people might ask, 'Host, what's the difference between this place and the Storm Sea?'"

"Wow, there are so many differences!"

"First of all, there are only mid-level and lower-level enemies here. What's going on?"

"This is definitely a beginner's area!"

"As long as you don't do anything stupid and provoke those mid-level bosses, it's still quite easy to survive."

"At least I don't have to worry about being killed by the aftershocks of a battle between strong opponents one day."

"What?"

"I'm interested, I'll come right away."

"What about the mission rewards?"

"The mission rewards are similar to those of Storm Sea, or even a little more, but there are no high-level missions. However, it doesn't matter whether there are any or not, since we can't complete high-level missions anyway."

"Here I'm going to explain something to everyone..."

Then, 87 explained everything about demons, including corruption, how to identify different types of demons, and the weaknesses of each type.

It seems that the Quassamon left a deep impression on him.

"Finally, where can I register?"

"Of course it's the Mage Alliance Recruiting Office! Just go there and say you want to go to Mahabray. If you mention the streamer's name, you can even get a pistol. Brothers, if you want to get rich, come on over!"

"Oh, and remember to mention Seven Nine, not your streamer username!"

"Of course, if the resurrection time is on cooldown, you can check the streamer's experience before deciding whether to come or not."

"Alright, that's enough talk. Time to march. We should reach the mountain fort tonight. See you at the mountain fort, brothers!"

After saying that, 87 turned off the live stream. After all, it would be very tiring to live stream and joke around while marching, and he wasn't short of money.

Live streaming is now purely a hobby.

He's already financially independent thanks to gaming.
