Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Modifying Time!

CLICK!

The distinct sound of metal clicking against the gun belt reverberated through the room as Jin released the M4 from its secure position and gently placed it on the table.

His hands deftly filled the ammo pouches, carefully retrieving and organizing the remaining shotgun shells.

"Now, what should I choose?" Jin pondered aloud, his hands resting on the table adorned with an array of opened ammo pouches.

He raised his head, surveying the assortment of ammunition types before him. The M4 assault rifle required 5.56x45mm ammunition, and now he had various options at his disposal.

The M4 had a magazine capacity of 60 rounds, while his new ammo pouch could hold 30 rounds, effectively providing him with half the capacity.

However, he was confronted with the dilemma of selecting the right type of 5.56x45mm ammunition. Fully Metal Jackets, Hollow Points, Ballistic Tips, and Armor-Piercing rounds each possessed their unique qualities and advantages. His mind wrestled with the decision.

Glancing down at the opened book, the comprehensive guide, Jin sought guidance.

"According to the guide, Fully Metal Jacket ammunition is commonly used in training or against copper or steel," he muttered, recalling the information.

His fingers reached for the Fully Metal Jacket ammunition, cylindrical in shape with a rounded nose, its body crafted from copper. These bullets were known for their effectiveness against human targets and general applications.

As Jin's attention was drawn to the green-tipped ammunition, a translucent game screen notification suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The transparent display, adorned with shimmering white glowing text, perfectly aligned with the information he had just read in the guidebook:

[

Name: Full Metal Jackets

Type: Accessory

Rarity: Common

Effect: -

Requirements: A firearm

Description: FMJ rounds feature a lead core enclosed in a copper or steel jacket. They are commonly used for training, target shooting, and general-purpose applications.

]

The synchronized display of the game screen and the guidebook reinforced Jin's understanding of Full Metal Jacket ammunition.

Its familiarity and reliability in the virtual world mirrored its real-world counterpart. Jin couldn't help but appreciate the intricacies of the immersive experience unfolding before him.

"But humans are not my only enemies," Jin mused, setting aside the previously chosen ammunition on the table. His eyes fixated on a particular round with a hollowed-out tip at the bullet's nose, signaling its identity as Hollow Points.

"This Hollow Points ammunition is ideal for inflicting significant damage on the enemy," Jin remarked, his hand instinctively reaching for the ammunition as he continued to read the guide under the dim light of the basement.

Simultaneously, the fading game screen made way for a fresh, transparent display that materialized before Jin's eyes. His focus shifted to the new information presented in the glistening white text:

[

Name: Hollow Points

Type: Accessory

Rarity: Common

Effect: -

Requirements: A firearm

Description: Hollow point ammunition is designed to expand upon impact, creating a larger wound channel and transferring more energy to the target. This type of ammunition is often used for self-defense purposes.

]

The words on the screen solidified Jin's understanding of Hollow Points ammunition.

Its purposeful design, meant to maximize impact and create devastating wound channels, resonated with the self-defense applications often associated with this type of ammunition.

Jin's eyes darted between the screen and the actual bullets before him, solidifying his decision-making process.

Despite the screeching sounds and distant screams that echoed through the night, along with a flock of birds taking flight from tree to tree, indicating the approach of an imminent threat, Jin remained undeterred.

His focus remained fixed on understanding the ammunition options available to him.

"While Hollow Points are effective due to their ability to expand upon impact, creating a wider wound channel, they are susceptible to decreased efficiency against heavy clothing and glass," Jin recited, his eyes momentarily shifting to the ammunition rack, noticing only a limited supply of Hollow Point rounds.

"Furthermore, they tend to be expensive, even for someone like Mrs. XXX, who is a gun enthusiast," Jin observed, rejecting the Hollow Points ammunition.

His attention swiftly shifted to the next bullet variant, its green-colored tip catching his eye—a plastic-jacketed ammunition with a securely enclosed lead core.

As Jin's gaze fell upon the transparent screen overlaying his view, a fresh wave of information materialized, revealing the intricate details of the Ballistic Tip ammunition.

His hands instinctively gravitated toward one of the bullets, eager to explore its characteristics.

[

Name: Ballistic Tip

Type: Accessory

Rarity: Common

Effect: -

Requirements: A firearm

Description: The Ballistic Tip bullets boasted a unique design, featuring a plastic tip that not only streamlined their shape but also enhanced their aerodynamics.

These specialized rounds were crafted with utmost precision to deliver exceptional long-range performance. Renowned for their high ballistic coefficients, they held a special place in the arsenal of hunters and precision shooters alike.

]

Jin carefully handled the three-pack set of 60 rounds of Ballistic Tip ammunition, its sleek design gleaming under the soft glow of the room's light.

Each round held the promise of precision and power, ideal for long-range engagements and often favored by seasoned hunters.

With a sense of reverence, Jin swiftly stowed the ammunition into his dual ammo pouch, securing them with practiced efficiency. The remaining three pouch slots beckoned him, eager to be filled with more tools of destruction.

"This is exactly what I need," Jin murmured, his voice filled with satisfaction. "The Ballistic Tip rounds are renowned for their exceptional long-range performance.

"They may be more expensive than Hollow Points, but their effectiveness against targets at extended distances is unmatched."

As he affixed the ammo pouches to his sturdy belt, Jin couldn't help but marvel at the tungsten core surrounded by a sleek steel jacket of each bullet.

The tips were flat yet possessed an otherworldly shimmer, capturing his attention and demanding a closer look.

These were no ordinary projectiles; they were the epitome of craftsmanship, the most coveted and lethal ammunition that even avid gamers could recognize.

With reverence, Jin examined the Armor-Piercing ammunition, recognizing its formidable reputation.

[

Name: Armor-Piercing

Type: Accessory

Rarity: Common

Effect: -

Requirements: A firearm

Description: Armor-piercing ammunition is designed to penetrate armored targets. These rounds feature a hardened steel or tungsten core and are used in specific military or law enforcement applications.

]

These rounds were specifically designed to penetrate and defeat even the toughest of materials, making them a staple choice for military and law enforcement applications.

Any armor or hardened surface that stood in their path would crumble like a kitten before a tiger. His hands trembled slightly as he swiftly inserted the Armor-Piercing ammunition into the remaining slots of his ammo pouch.

Each bullet found its place with a satisfying click, securing his access to unrivaled piercing power. The weight of the additional ammunition tugged at his belt, reminding him of the limitations it imposed on his movements.

Though he possessed strength far beyond that of ordinary humans, the abundance of ammo pouches encircling his waist served as a reminder that even he had his limits.

Jin's gaze shifted towards the remaining rounds, a mixture of Armor-Piercing and Ballistic Tip ammunition.

There were at least 100-200 rounds of Armor-Piercing, with a mere 50 Ballistic Tips remaining. A twinge of caution crept into his mind, cautioning against greed.

The memory of a previous incident echoed in his thoughts, serving as a stern reminder to exercise restraint.

"The more ammunition I carry, the more those blood-sucking creatures seem to focus their attention on my precious ammo pouches instead of me!" Jin lamented, shaking his head in regret.

He understood the cunning nature of his adversaries, their keen sense of threat recognition guiding their relentless pursuit.

The vulnerability of his ammunition stores had become apparent through past encounters, leaving him no choice but to prioritize caution over excessive firepower. Resolutely, Jin turned his attention to the small book resting nearby.

Its pages were filled with sketches and intricate lines, an archive of weapon illustrations meticulously compiled over time.

As the pack of Blood Slaves closed in, Jin's mind remained remarkably composed. Time seemed to slow as he unzipped the bags he carried, revealing their contents.

Among the items, he retrieved a snackbar, its satisfying crunch reverberating through the room. With his mouth wide open, he indulged in the amalgamation of hardened rice and melted caramel chocolate.

The sweetness of the treat served as a catalyst, rejuvenating his mind and bringing forth a newfound clarity. The chaotic thoughts that once cluttered his consciousness began to recede, making way for unwavering focus on the task at hand.

Optics, foregrips, rail systems, suppressors, and an array of other attachments dangled above the racks, each vying for Jin's attention.

His mind raced, conjuring numerous scenarios that played out in vivid detail. The weight of decision-making pressed upon him, his emotions reaching a crescendo.

His breath became rugged, and his eyes shimmered with star-like determination.

The complete set of attachments lay before him, an assortment that left him momentarily dumbfounded. With such an extensive collection at his disposal, Jin hesitated, unsure of which components to select.

Yet, as if sensing his internal struggle, a calming and soothing sensation enveloped his mind. It spread like a gentle breeze, tempering the overwhelming excitement and bringing a sense of tranquility to his being.

"First, I need to choose the optic," Jin muttered, his voice carrying a hint of determination.

He released a long breath, his eyes scanning the array of attachments before his hands settled on the magnifying scope x4, his fingers curling around it. The weight of the accessory felt reassuring in his grip.

[

Name: Magnifying Scope x4

Type: Accessory

Rarity: Common

Effect: Increased Zoom

Requirements: A firearm

Description: The Magnifying Scope x4 is a specialized accessory designed to enhance the accuracy and long-range capabilities of firearms.

This scope provides four times magnification, allowing the user to see distant targets with greater clarity and precision. It is commonly used by snipers, marksmen, and tactical shooters who require enhanced target acquisition and identification capabilities.

]

As he raised the scope, his senses sharpened, the scent of gun oil mingling with the metallic tang of anticipation.

His gaze swept across the room, taking in the dimly lit walls and the hushed silence that hung heavy in the air. The room seemed to hold its breath, as if aware of the weighty decision Jin was about to make.

But just as he was about to attach the scope, a fleeting thought brushed against his mind, preventing him from proceeding.

"The rail system... no," Jin murmured, his voice laced with a touch of realization. His hands froze in mid-air, suspended in uncertainty, as he considered an alternative.

A flicker of understanding danced in his eyes as he realized he could utilize the built-in rail system on the scope mount itself.

With a deliberate motion, he set the magnifying scope x4 aside for a moment, his fingers deftly manipulating the rail system.

Each click resonated in the room, punctuating the silence like a metronome marking time. The attachment locked into place, the audible confirmation echoing in Jin's ears, bringing a sense of satisfaction to his endeavor.

"With this," Jin whispered, his voice filled with a mix of awe and anticipation, "I can shoot from remarkable distances, or even employ it as a scout."

A smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he marveled at the versatility these attachments offered.

Although he lacked the advantage of a night vision scope or thermal vision glass, he found himself grateful for the assortment of enhancements at his disposal.

When Jin laid his eyes upon the newly modified M4, a surge of pride swelled within him. The weapon seemed to radiate with newfound potential, as if it had transformed into an extension of his very being.

For a fleeting moment, he almost forgot that the M4 had a built-in rail system, the significance of his modifications overpowering the familiar features.

"Now, setting the rail system aside," Jin's voice grew animated, excitement lacing his words, "the most crucial addition would be the suppressor, followed by the laser, and then-..."

His sentence trailed off as his focus intensified, his mind already racing with thoughts of further modifications to optimize his firearm.

As Jin immersed himself in the task, the night enveloped him with its serene embrace. Shadows danced playfully around the room, casting mysterious shapes on the walls.

The air held a sense of anticipation, almost as if it were aware of the impending transformation taking place.

Meanwhile, the group of tenants residing on the first lobby floor were enveloped in a different atmosphere.

The stillness of the night was disrupted by an undercurrent of unease that rippled through their senses. They exchanged worried glances, their eyes reflecting the shared concern.

In the distance, a chorus of screams pierced through the air, carried on the wind and echoing through the trees. Startled birds took flight, their wings flapping frantically in a desperate escape from the unseen turmoil.
