Chapter 32: "Let's go and test the power of the enhanced gun turret."

"It does seem a bit exaggerated, huh."

Kerr Cowell stared at the turret in front of him, with a whopping 60cm diameter, and couldn't help but laugh: "I really hope City 18 sends an armored vehicle later."

"Can their armored vehicles withstand a 60cm caliber turret's barrage of fire?"

"I think it's doubtful, but on a different note, isn't the turret a bit ugly?"

Although the cannon's muzzle of the turret was extremely exaggerated.

It looked a little ugly overall.

The length of the barrel didn't even reach 20cm.

The diameter was longer than the barrel!

Overall, it resembled the diagonally placed plastic white bucket you played with when you were a kid, where throwing a ball in would win you a toy doll.

"Uh..."

Kerr Cowell shrugged his shoulders slightly, touching his nose with an awkward smile.

"Ugly, but effective."

"Let's continue!"

Just now, after enhancing the turret's caliber from +1 to +10, using only 75 semi-obsolete items, it was no big deal.

However, as he wanted to continue enhancing, a piece of information suddenly emerged in front of him.

'Your Self-controlled Rotating Turret of Steel Sword's caliber has been enhanced to the limit.'

'To continue upgrading, please enhance its barrel length first!'

"Is that so?"

Kerr Cowell looked at the information with a strange expression, meaning he had to enhance the barrel length before he could continue enhancing the caliber.

After understanding clearly, he didn't waste any more time.

75 semi-obsolete items.

The gun barrel was enhanced to +10, the length reaching 120cm, and the effective firing range increased to 1500 meters.

As the barrel length increased, the firing range would also increase accordingly.

Afterward, he continued enhancing like a diligent little worker bee.

'Ding, you used 175 semi-obsolete items to enhance the turret's caliber from +10 to +20.'

'The turret's current caliber is 110cm.'

-

'Ding, you used 175 semi-obsolete items to enhance the turret's barrel length from +10 to +20.'

'The turret's current barrel length is 220cm, and the effective firing range is increased to 2500 meters.'

-

'Ding, you used 250 semi-obsolete items to enhance the turret's firing speed from +0 to +20.'

'The turret's current firing speed is 2900 shots per minute.'

As Kerr Cowell prepared to enhance the final option of recoil, he found that the recoil figure had changed on its own.

In the beginning, the Steel Sword Self-Controlled Rotating Turret's recoil on the panel was 50kg.

Now it has changed to 600kg on its own?

Is it because the turret's volume has increased due to the increase in caliber and barrel length, so the recoil has also increased accordingly?

He shook his head without giving it much thought and continued enhancing.

'Ding, you used 250 semi-obsolete items to enhance the turret's recoil to +20.'

'The turret's current recoil is 500kg.'

"Mr. Jacob."

Scar Dog, who was watching from the side, pondered for a moment before suddenly coming up with an idea: "Recoil is the force applied backward, right?"

"Each time you enhance it, the recoil decreases a bit."

"What if you keep enhancing the recoil until it reaches zero and then keep going until it's -500kg?"

"Wouldn't the recoil become a forward force then?"

"Every time it fires, the turret bounces forward a little distance?"

"What if you keep enhancing it? Will this turret become like a flying device, continuously moving forward with each shot fired?"

"..."

Kerr Cowell was silent for a while before saying: "Good question."

By now, the turret had changed beyond recognition.

With a caliber of 110cm, this turret looked incredibly intimidating!

One thing was certain—no one would want to take a shot from this behemoth with their own body.

The 220cm long gun barrel also had a different look.

A bunch of red patterns appeared on the surface of the barrel, as if they were laser-engraved. The designs added a touch of style to the turret.

Overall, the turret was much larger than before.

It looked even more daunting!

Moreover, the panel for the Self-controlled Rotating Turret of Steel Sword had undergone a significant transformation.

"Item Name": Self-controlled Rotating Turret of Steel Sword.

"Item Level": Two-Star Item.

④ Barrel length enhanced to +20, increasing barrel length to 220cm.

⑤ Recoil enhanced to +20, reducing recoil to 500kg.

"Item Introduction": This buddy can ensure that you have a good night's sleep in the wilderness.

"Modifiable Range": Caliber, ammo capacity, firing speed, barrel length, and recoil.

In total, he had consumed over 2500 semi-obsolete items.

That meant he still had over 2000 items left for enhancement.

But he didn't have enough time to work on those enhancements.

Because... he could faintly hear the distinctive siren of the City 18 law enforcers.

The law enforcers of City 18 were coming, and it was time to greet his old friends.

The size of the turret in front of him was just right.

If it were slightly larger, it wouldn't fit in his space bracelet.

"I guess I'll have to find a way to get a bracelet with more space."

Kerr Cowell waved his hand, storing the turret in his space bracelet, and looked up with a smile at Scar Dog: "Let's go. Let's test the power of this turret using the members of the Mechanical Race."

"Heh."

Scar Dog followed Kerr Cowell with excitement and anticipation, cradling his shotgun in his arms: "Maybe we'll make it onto the Racial Kill Rankings today."

"After all, City 18 is just a small city. To our knowledge, they don't have any powerful weapons like missiles."

"We might even be able to rush into City 18 with this turret."

"Not yet."

Kerr Cowell shook his head: "Right now, we don't have any defensive items. Being hit by a stray bullet could result in injury, or even death. You've already used up your racial talent, so we can't be reckless."

"Let's deal with these law enforcers first."

As they spoke,

Kerr Cowell and Scar Dog arrived at the entrance of the Ruins Site, gazing at the law enforcers' convoy, with their sirens flashing, about a hundred meters away.

Then, he placed the turret at the entrance and shook his head in disappointment: "No armored vehicles? They only sent seven patrol cars for law enforcers."

"They're not showing us any respect."

"Well, let's have a taste of what they've got first."

However, at that moment—

A semi-virtual panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Detected that player Kerr Cowell's Self-controlled Rotating Turret of Steel Sword has five strengthenable options, all of which have been enhanced to +10."

"Automatically activating Enhanced Set Skill!"
