Chapter 1: A Boy from the East

Next Chapter

A bullet glowed with a yellowish glow in the dim light, and when you look closely, this bullet is different from ordinary bullets, with an unformed pattern on the warhead.

Sketching the lines was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, dressed in coarse cloth and holding an old star-filled pen. Although he is not very pretty, he has a unique pair of black pupils.

You must know that not many people in the Twilight Star, or even the entire Ulu star system, have black pupils, which is a sign unique to the inhabitants of the powerful Eastern Star Field.

The boy's demeanor was very focused, and his hand holding the pen swayed slightly, each time the line was drawn in small increments, but also very subtle. When the final stroke was finished, the red lines on the bullet flickered violently, and a burst of flame lit up.

"It's done!" Looking at the dimming star stripes, Chu Yu gently exhaled a turbid breath and put the bullet in his hand into the wooden box on the side.

A total of five bullets with the same pattern were placed in the wooden box.

With the box in his hand, Chu Yu walked towards the outside of the room.

Camp Blacksteel is an absolute wonder on the Twilight Star, built on an abandoned military outpost by the Wastelanders.

Aside from Sunset, Camp Blacksteel is the only safe place for Duskstar.

There are still many scattered camps on this small colony star, but no one knows how long they will be able to survive, maybe just one night, and several camps will disappear under the attack of the star beasts.

Dusk Star is not a suitable planet to colonize, because there are fierce star beasts here, and this planet has not been abandoned until now, entirely because there is a star stone vein on this planet.

After Chu Yu walked out of the house, there was already a big man with an old firearm waiting at the door of the room, and when he saw Chu Yu, he asked urgently, "How many armor-piercing star bullets did you get this time?" ”

Before Chu Yu could answer, several more people gathered over, staring at the wooden box in Chu Yu's hand, as if waiting for the result.

Chu Yu raised his palm towards everyone.

Seeing this number, the eyes of the people around lit up.

"Xiaoyu, sell me one first, I'll give you two hundred star coins." The big man pressed down the people around him and said.

"Why? I'll sell you 210 Star Coins! A middle-aged man with a slender figure and a scar on his face said.

"Two hundred and fifteen."

There are two ways to make money in the twilight star, one is to dig star stones, if you are lucky, you can dig up a few star stones with high purity in one day, and make a lot of money, if you are unlucky, you can't dig a single one for several days in a row.

The other is to hunt star beasts, as long as you can hunt a star beast and collect the materials on the star beast, the income is not inferior to digging star stones.

If you want to hunt star beasts, in addition to daring to fight hard and a certain amount of luck, you also need good weapons and equipment.

The armor-piercing star bullet made by Chu Yu is ten percent stronger than the armor-piercing star projectile of the standard armor-piercing star projectile, which is the reason why the wastelanders are scrambling to grab it.

"Three hundred star coins, let you and Lao Tzu grab it!" Seeing that everyone was rushing, the big man was in a hurry and quoted the highest price he could offer.

As soon as the big man's words spoke, the gathered crowd suddenly fell silent.

Three hundred Star Coins is a sky-high price, enough to buy two armor-piercing star bullets at Old Shaq's weapons shop.

Although Chu Yu's armor-piercing star projectile was ten percent stronger than that of Old Shaq's armor-piercing effect, according to the calculations of the wastelands' minds, the chances of hunting the star beast were greater than that of two star bullets than one.

Taking a closer look at the big man with an anxious and excited face, based on years of experience, Chu Yu could judge the big man's intentions in an instant, if he didn't guess wrong, this big man named Mares already had a big goal.

Chu Yu said: "Uncle Mares, I only need two hundred and fifty star coins, but I still have to follow the old rules. ”

Maris nodded swiftly and took an armor-piercing star bullet from Chu Yu's hand.

The crowd dispersed, and when there were only four armor-piercing star bullets left in Chu Yu's hand, no one asked Chu Yu anymore, because Chu Yu never sold the remaining four.

These four bullets were left by Chu Yu to Old Shaq.

When he paid the money and left, Chu Yu saw a flash of excitement in Mares's eyes, and at the same time a sense of worry.

For the wastelanders, 300 Star Coins is not a lot, and if all of them are used to buy ordinary bullets, they can probably buy 300 pieces.

After secretly wishing Mares success, Chu Yu walked towards Old Shaq's weapon shop.

In Chu Yu's eyes, there were two people in the Black Steel Camp who needed to be grateful.

One is his grandfather Chu Ziwu, and the other is Old Shak.

The reason why he and his grandfather were able to live in the Black Steel Camp was completely because of the protection of the second person in the Black Steel Camp.

Lao Shaq not only gave the disabled Chu Ziwu a job, but also bought his armor-piercing star bullets after Chu Yu began to make zuò star patterns.

At the beginning, Chu Yu's armor-piercing star projectile was not very good, and it could only reach half of the effect of a standard star projectile.

The character that such an armor-piercing star bullet can sell can't even make up for the loss of crimson star ink.

But the price that Old Shaq gave Chu Yu was enough for Chu Yu to have enough crimson star ink to keep practicing, and at the same time, he also had a small surplus.

Chu Yu is a person who knows how to be grateful, and after that, although the price that Old Shaq gave him will always be the same, Chu Yu will still set aside a part of the armor-piercing star bullet for Old Shaq every time.

Old Shaq's weapons shop seems to have a distinguished customer today, an old gentleman in a black tuxedo and very personable.

When Chu Yu stepped into the weapons shop, the old gentleman and Old Shaq were talking in the shop.

If Chu Yu is not wrong, this old gentleman should be from Sunset City, in the Black Steel Camp, no one will care about their clothes, only the rich people in Sunset City will take care of their lives seriously.

After seeing Chu Yu, the two stopped talking and at the same time focused on Chu Yu's body.

"Xiao Yu, have you run out of crimson star ink again?"

"Well, Grandpa Shaq, here are four armor-piercing star shells." Chu Yu nodded, and then put the wooden box in his hand on the counter.

Putting on reading glasses, the lame old Shaq slowly walked to the counter, sat down, opened the wooden box and carefully observed the armor-piercing star bullets brought by Chu Yu.

Old Shaq is from Sunset, something that is well known in Camp Blacksteel.

Although most of his clients are wastelanders who want to get rich overnight on the Evening Star. But the weapons in the store are still very complete, whether it is ordinary firearms or special star-patterned guns, they are all available here, some simple star-patterned swords can also be seen, and even the star-patterned staff for mages is not lacking here.

Although they are all low-grade goods, it is a rare thing to be able to appear in the Black Steel Camp.

Most of the desolate people can only afford ordinary firearms, or better yet, some armor-piercing star bullets. The wealthier ones will buy a star-striped firearm, and as for the star-striped weapons like close-quarters and the star-striped staff that unleash brilliant magic, most of the desolate people can't afford it, and even if they can, few people will use it.

Melee weapons and starstriped staff are too complicated to use compared to simple and easy-to-use firearms, and the use of these two things by untrained wastelands is no different from seeking death in combat.

Chu Yu also thought about going over to try hunting star beasts or digging star stones, but these thoughts were stifled by his grandfather at the beginning.

And after his grandfather died, Chu Yu never had such thoughts, because he wanted to take his grandfather's ashes home. And once he dies on the Twilight Star, then the grandparents and grandchildren can only stay in the Twilight Star.

So now, Chu Yu can only rely on making zuò star patterns to accumulate the transmission fee of the star pattern array.

But fortunately, drawing star patterns is a very special job, as long as Chu Yu can become a star pattern artist, then he can earn enough money to go home in a very short time.

The Star Pattern Master is a profession that is never short of money, and a better Star Pattern Master is the favored object of many forces.

"Xiao Yu, you changed the armor-piercing star pattern again?" After carefully observing an armor-piercing star projectile, Old Shaq asked Chu Yu.

"Well, it's a change made after reading the starstripe base last time." Chu Yu said.

"The effect?" Old Shaq continued.

"Probably about three percent more armor-piercing." Chu Yu pondered slightly.

"About three percent." Old Shaq glanced at Chu Yu with a strange gaze, with a hint of exclamation.

All star stripe effects are almost fixed, and improving them requires a lot of time to be researched and experimented. For some special star stripes, it is already an ecstatic thing to be able to increase the effect by one percent.

Although the armor-piercing star pattern is a very low-level star pattern, it is much easier to improve, but in just a few years, it can be improved four times, increasing the effect by thirteen percent, and I believe that even those graduates of the Orthodox Academy cannot do this.

Besides, Chu Yu hadn't received any formal learning to draw star patterns.

"Two hundred and ten star coins each." Old Shaq said to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu nodded without thinking.

Old Shaq is already considered a special treatment, and the effect of the increase of three percent is exchanged for ten star coins.

"Grandpa Shaq, I need ten milliliters of Crimson Star Ink, plus thirty standard bullets." Chu Yu said.

Hearing Chu Yu's words, the old man in the tuxedo on the side showed a look of surprise in his eyes, but Old Shaq was not surprised at all.

"Are you going to start experimenting with Burst Star Bombs?"

"Hmm." Chu Xuan nodded.

This conversation made the tuxedo old man completely dissipate a certain surprise, and was replaced by a suspicious gaze.

Ten milliliters of Crimson Star Ink was already a bit too much for making an armor-piercing star projectile, especially when Chu Xuan was almost able to guarantee a success rate of ninety percent.

But for the production of zuò burst star bombs, that is far from enough.

It takes a lot of practice to draw a new star pattern, and for a star pattern artist, a new star pattern often requires tens of milliliters or even a few liters of star ink to master a new star pattern.

Ten milliliters, that's too little!

Old Shaq groaned for a moment, and then said to Chu Yu, "I'll give you fifteen milliliters." ”

Chu Yu showed an embarrassed expression on his face: "Grandpa Shaq, I can only afford the price of ten milliliters." ”
