CH4- Weapon and Simulator.

Inside his personal forge, he worked silently with a serious gaze.

He was finishing the finishing touches on his first prototype firearm.

The weapon had an identical appearance to an AK-47 rifle, and despite having a rougher look, it meets the parameters Ryan wanted.

The rifle blueprints were Ryan's first addition to the tech stock.

Originating from a reality at war, the weapon's manufacturing method was rated two stars inferior. But despite his rank, it cost every TP Ryan had.

In addition to the plans for the creation of the weapon, the method of manufacture of ammunition capsules and the manufacture of gunpowder were also included.

...

After gaining access to the technology, Ryan can better understand how his system works.

The system had no power to generate or invoke matter, so Ryan had to build whatever he bought himself.

Furthermore, knowledge would not simply be introduced into your mind. He should study and understand the technology, and then reproduce the technology.

If it were in the past, it would take Ryan months to understand the enormous amount of information. But when he started studying the information, it was as if Ryan had a super computer in his mind.

Studying the interface of the system, he understood that it was an effect generated by the buff of 500% increase in compression provided by the system.

So what the Ryan of the past would have taken months to understand took no more than a day.

After that, he began work on creating the rifle.

Despite trusting the blacksmiths at the forge, Ryan preferred to personally carry out the process of making the weapon. But he still instructed John to create the ammo pods and some smaller parts of the weapon.

Gunpowder is made up of three basic ingredients: coal, saltpeter and sulphur.

The information obtained in the system was very comprehensive in relation to the creation of gunpowder, not only having data on its composition, but also indicating where to find the ingredients.

Saltpeter can be extracted from bat droppings and coal easily obtained from the fortress.

The hardest element to find would be sulfur. But luckily, there was an inactive vulcanization area, relatively close to the fortress.

Ryan passed the responsibility of getting the gunpowder ingredients to Dylan.

...

The process of creating the weapon, as well as the ammo, took a total of a week to complete.

The time was relatively long to make just one weapon, but considering Ryan had to do it piece by piece, the time gap was acceptable.

Dropping the prototype on the table, Ryan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Finally done." He laughed enthusiastically.

[AK-47 automatic assault rifle]

Rating: 2 stars (lower)

Quality: Fair.

[A fully automatic assault rifle, having two firing modes. A simple, reliable weapon, adaptable to different environments and with excellent firepower.]

Using the system, a window with the weapon's information appeared in front of his face. Showing that the prototype on the table was the first legitimate assault rifle to exist in Argon.

Ryan then opened a small wooden box on the corner of his desk. The box contained 30 ammunition.

It was all Ryan could do with the ingredients Dylan had. Saltpeter and coal could be obtained near the fortress, but the place where sulfur could be obtained was near the Black Forest.

And with the recent increases in the presence of tier 2 beasts, Ryan has ordered Dylan not to put his life at risk by getting too close to the woods.

...

After loading the cartridge with the bullets, Ryan fitted the cartridge into the gun. And prepared to test the weapon.

But he would not test the weapon in the midst of its forge.

Ryan would use the last function on his system.

'Enter the simulator'

Giving the command, Ryan felt his consciousness pulled elsewhere. But this time it wasn't the big library.

It was a big blank space where he couldn't see boundaries.

[Choose what you want to use in the simulation.]

A message appeared on a floating screen, containing a list of items. On the list were his forge materials, his sword, and his rifle.

Choosing the rifle, an exact replica of the weapon he created appeared in his arms.

[Choose the target for the test]

A list containing several items appeared. Ryan chose a wooden dummy to serve as a target.

A few feet away, a wooden dummy appeared.

Taking his attention off the screen, Ryan took a deep breath before unlocking the weapon and choosing single-fire mode, then aiming at the dummy.

Nervously, Ryan squeezed the trigger of the gun.

*Shot*

It was like a small explosion happened.

Every detail was super realistic. The sound, the recoil of the gun and the smell of gunpowder.

It was the first time in two lives that Ryan had fired a gun and it all felt like a dream if it weren't for Ryan's racing heart and the fact that the puppet's head had exploded.

"Incredible!!" Ryan squealed in delight, after his surprised state wore off.

After concluding that his weapon worked perfectly, Ryan chose another target to test his weapon.

As soon as Ryan chose, a large animal appeared in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that he knew he was inside the simulator, Ryan would have all his nerves on edge.

The animal that appeared within the simulation environment was the deer that he and his men had killed in the forest, the same as causing the death of their soldier.

The deer stood still while Ryan watched him. Not only could the system manifest a series of targets, it could also manifest anything Ryan came into contact with.

The deer was a legitimate rank 2 beast, despite being weakened when Ryan killed it, in the simulation environment it was at its peak state with all its power.

Aiming at the deer, Ryan activated the auto-firing mode.

Squeezing the trigger, the gun fired three shots.

After being hit by the bullets, the deer's skin split like a piece of wood. Easily entering his body, blood began to seep out of the bullet holes.

The deer then staggered before dropping dead.

Meanwhile, Ryan watched breathlessly.

"It's time to balance the game," he said with a smile.
