3.27% Modern Weapon Summoning System / Chapter 7: 1911 Pistol vs Slime

章節 7: 1911 Pistol vs Slime

Inside of that metal box, there were the items that PIDMA promised to give to Del. There were three .45 ACP magazines filled with bullets. There were also three packs of crackers inside of an MRE bag.

Del always saw the thing like MRE and pistols on the Internet. However, he never tried it out himself. There was also the sterile gauzes inside of the metal box which was basically a fabric useful for packing wound. Del remembered using it to cover his wound when he fell down the stairs.

"Not bad," Del picked up the 1911 pistol.

It was a black pistol with wooden furnishings on its grip. It was an old pistol that was made way before the Second World War. It was chambered in .45 ACP. The bullet should be able to penetrate most non-demonic animals. However, Del doubted the bullet would be able to wound any demonic animal that entered the category of monsters.

"Pidma, what's this bullet is made of? Just copper and lead or is there a steel penetrator inside of this bullet?" Del asked.

[The bullet is .45 ACP FMJ. It's basically the standard bullet that you will find in 1911. You might want to upgrade the bullet later.]

It was Pidma's way of saying that the bullet sucked. Still, it was a giveaway item so Del shouldn't even protest about it. Del also found a pistol holster inside of the metal box. It was a drop-leg holster so he could put it right on his upper thigh.

There was a guide on how to put the holster too. It shouldn't be hard. Del followed the instruction and put the holster on his thigh. He put the 8-round magazines inside of his pants pocket since he didn't have enough money to buy a tactical rig.

Still, for him, being able to defend himself from bandits was more than enough. At first, Del also thought just like anyone else from another world that bandits were dumb creatures that raided carriages for money.

However, reality hit him differently when he got robbed by the bandits. They essentially surrounded Del while pointing their weapons at him. They usually ambushed any merchant that went out of a town without enough escort. Del was lucky that he didn't get killed since he didn't even have any money in his pocket.

They were big in numbers and usually consisted of beginner combatants. A group of bandits usually had a threat rank of D. They needed a single D-rank adventurer to eliminate or a group consisted of E-rank adventurers. However, it also varied depending on the groups.

"Del, can you come downstairs?" Rina called Del from downstairs.

"Sure," Del got out of his room and he walked downstairs.

Downstairs, he couldn't find where Rina was. There was only her daughter on the receptionist's desk.

He asked Lisa, "Lisa, where's your mother?"

"She's in the kitchen. Anyway, my mother asked me to tell you that she needs help with pest control. A slime kept eating the vegetables that the townsfolk planted. They wanted an adventurer to deal with it. Luckily, there was you," Lisa said.

"So, you want me to exterminate those slimes for you?" Del asked.

"Yes. Don't tell me you're afraid of slimes. They don't even hurt you," Lisa said.

"I know," Del said.

"Alright, the slime is in the grassland on the back of the Inn, deal with it," Lisa said.

"Damn, Lisa, you don't need to be that authoritative with me, you're not my boss," Del said.

"Well, technically, I am your boss since my mother is your boss, so, get moving, ok?" Lisa said.

"Fine. Three free nights, right?" Del asked.

"I kept my mom's words," Lisa said.

"Ok," Del said as he left the inn through the front door.

Del headed to the back of the inn through the small road that bordered the inn and another building. The back of the inn was an enormous grassland. The grassland was one of the safest places that humans could traverse.

Grassland was rarely filled with dangerous monsters although anyone should be careful of small insects and animals. The grassland was usually used by townsfolk to plant something or to feed their cattle.

Slime was one of the monsters. The slime was put into the monster category because of its unusual behavior. This slime was actually herbivorous which meant they posed little to no threat to humans. Their size was as big as an ordinary bowling ball so it couldn't harm humans either.

They usually ate grass in the grassland, but this time, they were eating crops of the townsfolk. Killing slime was an easy task. All Del had to do was to destroy the core of the slime or the dark part inside of the slime itself.

If he just slashed through the slime, he would only tear apart the body of the slime itself. However, Del got another idea. Since slime was known to be very gelatinous and harmless. It might be a good idea to test his weapon at the slime.

1911 was rather accurate at close range, he just had to aim it right to the core of the slime itself. In that way, he also had an idea of the ballistic performance of the .45 ACP itself. It would give him an idea of how damaging the bullet was.

He walked to the grassland and he found the target.

"Emm, Pidma, can you give me an instruction on how to use this pistol?"

[First of all, insert the magazine into the empty magazine slot.]

Del inserted the magazine into the pistol.

[Then, you pull the slide backward.]

Del pulled the slide backward.

[Then you fire the gun.]

Del held the pistol firmly with his two hands. He aimed at the core of the slime. He pulled the trigger. .45 ACP flew to the core of the slime. Some parts of the slime exploded from the fragmentation of the bullet itself, much like a ballistic gel.

"Damn, I'm a good shooter for a first-timer," Del said as he put the pistol back at his holster.

[User Gains New Skill: Firearms Comprehension | Marksmanship ]

"Cool, I also have a new skill. What will this skill do? Can you explain it to me?" Del asked.

[Well, I'll just summarize it to you. PIDMA: OPENING GUIDE]

[Firearms Comprehension: The level of this skill will define the amount of recoil that you can handle, the speed of your reload, and your time in aiming down the sight of a firearm.]

[Marksmanship: The level of this skill will define the accuracy of any ranged weapon that you are shooting. An increase on this level will also increase the range of your weaponry.]

"Damn, so I have a new set of skills as well. Thanks, Pidma," Del said.

[Don't mention it. Anyway, by shooting your guns more, you can increase the level of these skills.]

"I understand," Del said.

Suddenly, Del got interrupted by someone. That someone was Lisa. She came to the back of the inn because of the loud noise of the gun. Luckily, Lisa didn't even notice that Del was carrying his gun inside of his holster.

Lisa tapped his back, "Del, did you just master a thunder spell or something?"

"No, but I just killed the slime," Del pointed his hand at the slime.

Lisa peeked at the carcass of the slime. The slime was dead, but Del noticed that the copper fragments were in the dead body of the slime itself. He feared that Lisa would ask him a question about that.

"Emm, my sword is shit so a little bit of it broke when I attacked the slime," Del gave his excuse.

"That's why you don't buy a five silver coins sword on sale, Del. A sword is supposed to be ten silver coins at the very least. Anyway, since you get the job done, I should tell my mother then," Lisa walked away.

"Thanks, Lisa," Del said.

"And Del, take a bath, will you? Maybe you should buy new clothes too, you stink," Lisa said.

Del just laughed it off. He had a blast with the gun even though he only fired two bullets. With that gun, he should be able to take a more dangerous quest later.


章節 8: Risk & Reward

Inside the inn, Lisa was still watching Del. Del figured that Lisa was still suspicious of Del. He couldn't tell Lisa that he just shot something called a gun. Lisa's mouth could leak to someone who wanted to steal the gun from Del. It would be bad news if Del got an assassin coming after him just because of a single gun.

"Lisa, why are you watching me?" Del asked.

"I feel something suspicious coming from you, I should tell my mother," Lisa said.

"What are you going to tell your mother? I don't have anything suspicious," Del said.

"How about the metal tool on your hip?" Lisa pointed at his gun.

Del immediately went into denial, "This? I always carry this, don't you think?"

Lisa refused to believe that, "No, you never carry anything like that on your thigh before. I should tell mom that you start doing a suspicious activity."

Del stared at her, "Listen here you little brat, you better not tell your mom anything. Understand?"

Lisa feared Del and she just nodded and went back to the receptionist's desk. Del's tall stature always came into advantage at that kind of situation that required him to scare Lisa into submission. However, he must make sure that Lisa didn't cry or otherwise, her mother would interrogate him.

Del had been interrogated by her mother before and he absolutely didn't want it to happen again. The last time Del did that, her mother kicked him out for a day and he must sleep outside. He was allowed to return when he begged for forgiveness from Lisa.

It was humiliating, but what was dignity if he couldn't even find a proper place to sleep but the streets. It was better to let Lisa did whatever she wanted to do than being kicked out of the inn just because Lisa was crying. It was truly mother instinct at its finest.

The sky had turned orange outside. Most of the adventurers had gone back to the inn for dinner. Del wasn't hungry though. He didn't want to pay sixty copper coins just for the dinner when he had an abundant amount of crackers inside of his room.

When he counted the number of crackers inside of the room, he found out that the crackers were enough to feed him for four days straight. One medium package of crackers contained more than enough to feed him for two days.

He went inside his room again and locked the door. He sat down on the bed and called Pidma.

"Hey, Pidma, are you there?" Del asked.

[What can I do for you?]

"Can you show me any available rifle for me?" Del asked.

▬▬▬

[Showing Available Bolt-Action Rifle]

[Mosin Nagant] [100$]

[Carcano Rifle] [195$]

[M1917 Enfield] [250$]

[Kar98] [200$]

[Showing Available Battle Rifle]

[M1 Garand] [400$]

[Gewehr 43] [500$]

▬▬▬

"Damn, all of these things are expensive as hell. There's no way I can get this amount of money just by breaking my backs and doing odd jobs," Del commented.

[To make money, you need to spend money. You need to take a more dangerous quest so you can upgrade your arsenal, Del. After that, you can spend your money on a rifle, or maybe SMG. With the new weapon, you can take a much more dangerous quest and gains some funds]

"I see. What's the cheapest food that you have in the inventory?" Del asked.

▬▬▬

[Showing Low Tier Food]

[Large Package of Crackers] [4$]

[Medium Package of Crackers] [2$]

[Small Package of Crackers] [1$]

[Tiny Package of Crackers] [0.50$]

▬▬▬

"It's good to know when the emergency food supply is available for me, hahaha," Del laughed.

[Good to hear that. Anyway, you better get some sleep.]

"I see. Well, I'm stuffed from the lunch anyway. Pidma, good night," Del said.

***

The next morning, Del came to the guild office to try something different. This time, he wouldn't do any delivery or gathering job. He would take a much more dangerous job so he could get enough money to live a better life. He was confident that the pistol could take down any low-level monster with ease.

"Del, what can I do for you today?" The guild receptionist asked.

"Do you have any quest that will give me around fifty silver coins?" Del asked.

The guild receptionist looked at him in doubt at first, then he said, "Well, Del, I think you need to consider that a quest with a reward greater than ten silver coins usually fell in the E-rank or higher quest difficulty. Now, 50 silver coins are on the border between an E-rank quest and a D-rank quest. Are you sure you want to take a quest like that? You can die," the guild receptionist said.

"I think I am more than well-aware of the risk of earning that many coins. However, I am also in dire need of money so I have to make a compromise," Del said.

"Very well then, I have two kinds of quests for you. Both are equally dangerous, do you have the bravery to take it?" The guild receptionist asked.

"What are those two quests?" Del asked.

"One is an order of assassination, the other is an order of subjugation," the guild receptionist said.

"What do I need to subjugate?" Del asked.

"Alright, the first one is an order to subjugate a group of six goblins. They might be less dangerous than two bandits, but they are dangerous. The other one is an order to assassinate a bandit. His name is Alberto, he lived in a shack next to Begard," the receptionist said.

"I'll take the assassination request then. It should only be one person, after all, less of a hassle than six goblins," Del said.

"You sound like underestimating the person. Del, you might make a compromise to earn more, but please, value your life more," the receptionist said.

"Heck no, if I said I needed money, I really need money," Del said.

"Fine, here's the quest description. Read it very carefully, you might find a weakness of the enemy inside of that description. Many young adventurers die because they don't even bother to read the quest description," the receptionist said.

"Fine… just give me the quest," Del said.

"Here you go," the receptionist gave Del a piece of paper.

▬▬▬

[Hunt for Alberto Derrand] [Difficulty: High-End E]

Alberto Derrand is a solo bandit that operates between Midham and Begard. The person will always target a solo adventurer that is unaware of his existence. Alberto has the ability to smell a weak adventurer to rob from a mile away so it's better not to scare him.

He always stays in the shack in the grassland north of the dangerous forest, south of the road between Midham and Begard. The shack is known to be guarded by dogs. There's a high chance that you will catch him unguarded if you ambush it at his own home. Beware of the dogs!

Appearance: Tall stature. An earring on the left ear. A scar on his forehead.

Threat Details: Probably armed with a very heavy sword capable of piercing low-end leather armor. Target is armored with leather armor. Target's level is known to be 10. From the previous encounter, the target dislikes loud sounds from thunder.

Reward: 60 Silver Coins, 200 Copper Coins

▬▬▬

"Have you read it very carefully?" The receptionist asked while watching Del. He really glared at him. The look in his eyes clearly told that Del shouldn't take that quest.

"Calm down, don't look at me like that," Del said.

"I'm worried about you, Del. You shouldn't take the quest," the receptionist said.

"Relax, I'm not that incapable," Del said.

The receptionist finally gave up and sighed, "Fine, wait a minute, I have something for you."

The receptionist headed for the back room. He walked in and walked out with a small bottle that might fit perfectly inside of Del's pocket. A black liquid filled the bottle to the top. Del wondered what kind of thing it was.

"Wow, what is that? Is that a healing potion?" Del asked.

"Healing potion? You must be nuts. That kind of thing costs a lot of money. It's much more convenient to use a healing spell anyway. This is a painkiller. If you die, you'd be better off dying without any pain," the receptionist said.

"Wait, you want to kill me with this potion?" Del reacted.

He never looked at a black solution like that. However, even a basic person knows that black water meant poison.

"Kill you? Hell no, that would be a heavy crime. This potion will ease the pain that you have, but that doesn't mean that your wound will be healed. Even if you drink it now, it should be fine, but don't blame me if the potion wears off when you fight Alberto," the receptionist said.

"Alright, alright, I get it. Thanks for the potion anyway," Del said as he grabbed the potion and the quest paper from the table.

As Del walked closer to the door, the guild receptionist shouted, "Do you want a closed casket funeral or an open casket one?"

Del just laughed it off. He headed back to the inn for the preparation.
