Chapter 40: Chapter 36: Tracking Handgun

Handicap Treasure, that’s the nickname of a handgun weapon in the game “Dawn”.

Of course, it’s just a nickname given by players.

The gun’s official name is “Intelligent Guided Tracking Handgun,” a firearm from the old days, far surpassing today’s world technology standards.

Players call it “Handicap Treasure” because it has a game-breaking feature — lock-on.

It’s the only gun in the “Dawn” game that doesn’t require aiming.

As long as the owner uses Handicap Treasure’s built-in smart program to identify the enemy, its special bullets will automatically lock onto the target’s head.

No matter which direction you shoot, whether you’re a late-stage hand cancer patient or a sharpshooter, the bullets will calculate the path, bypass all obstacles, and directly blow the enemy’s head off.

Because of this aimless, auto-lock feature, it’s simply a savior for players with poor skills, thus earning the nickname “Handicap Treasure”.

Su Mo was surprised because, according to the game flow of “Dawn”, the Handicap Treasure should belong to a powerful gang leader, not in the hands of someone like Park Yong-joon.

He thought for a moment and quickly understood the reason — the time point.

Now it’s August in the Dawn 152nd Year, and Su Mo has transmigrated to a point earlier than the “starting time” in the game, by one month.

According to normal development, the Handicap Treasure would later fall into the hands of the gang leader for various reasons.

But now, its owner is Park Yong-joon.

Su Mo finally understood why a C-level wanted criminal suddenly became so strong, able to wipe out three groups of mercenaries. Turns out, he got the “pioneer divine artifact”!

When playing games in the past, as a high-level FPS player, Su Mo always despised using the Handicap Treasure.

But after transmigrating, he couldn’t shoot accurately with real guns. The Handicap Treasure was simply a savior.

If you don’t seize this “pioneer divine artifact” delivered to your door, are you still human?

Su Mo put away the Tsunami Assault Rifle, used the Rigid Bone of the Mad Corpse Blood Code combined with a bulletproof helmet to protect his head, and charged out against the bullets from the Handicap Treasure.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!…” Bullets kept hitting Su Mo’s head, sparking, but couldn’t penetrate the dual protection of the Rigid Bone and the helmet. He withstood the impact force brought by the blood code’s physical enhancement.

Su Mo leaped over the pile of debris and charged towards Park Yong-joon, who was continuously firing.

Park Yong-joon couldn’t believe his gun couldn’t kill Su Mo. His eyes widened as he let out a “Si”, just before Su Mo landed a solid punch on him.

“Thud!” Su Mo’s punch hit Park Yong-joon’s abdomen with immense power boosted by the blood code, making his eyes bulge outwards.

Park Yong-joon spat blood while drawing a dagger, slashing randomly at Su Mo.

But such attacks were meaningless, leaving only white marks on Su Mo’s heavy armor.

Su Mo, eager to seize the treasure and not wanting to drag things out, braved the dagger for another punch to Park Yong-joon’s heart, ending his ability to act.

Park Yong-joon fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

Su Mo stepped on the faintly conscious Park Yong-joon and called the liaison officer at the commission center: “The wanted target C000627 has been captured, alive. Is there a bonus for bringing him back?”

The liaison responded: “Hello, according to the client’s statement, the wanted target’s status doesn’t matter. Capturing alive won’t bring extra rewards.”

“Oh, okay, then I’ll just kill him. I’ll send a video for verification later.” Su Mo hung up the phone.

“Bang!” He shot Park Yong-joon in the heart, announcing his death.

Then he took out his phone, filmed a video around Park Yong-joon’s corpse, clearly capturing the facial details and the fatal spot, and sent it to the liaison officer.

Ten minutes later, the Public Security Bureau completed the bounty kill certification.

The sweet voice of the liaison came through the phone: “Mr. Su Mo, congratulations on completing the commission C000627. The total commission reward and prepaid deposit of 110,000 monthly coins will be transferred to your personal account. Please check your balance.”

The phone disconnected, and the remittance message came through, marking the formal receipt of the bounty.

Su Mo was in high spirits; this was the first pot of gold he earned with his skills, and it wasn’t a small amount.

This commission could also serve as a stepping stone to connect with those excellent middlemen.

More importantly, he got an unexpected surprise.

Su Mo took the Handicap Treasure from Park Yong-joon’s hand, filled with excitement.

With this “pioneer divine artifact”, he wouldn’t have to worry about gun problems for a long time.

As soon as Su Mo held the Handicap Treasure, its gun body glowed with circuit-like patterns.

With the internal system operating, a smooth system voice came from within: “Unknown fingerprint detected, intelligent personality module loading… loading complete.”

“You!” The Handicap Treasure suddenly shouted, its tone becoming hoarse and gruff, “Who are you?! This fingerprint is unfamiliar, you’re not my master!”

Su Mo wasn’t surprised.

Maybe the designer did it on purpose, the intelligent personality module in the Handicap Treasure is very… personalized.

It would curse, complain, mock, speak sarcastically, sometimes even act childish.

Su Mo cleared his throat and greeted, “Hey, nice to meet you, from now on I’m your new master.”

Handicap Treasure: “No, you’re not! You shameless thief, give me back!”

Su Mo: “Your master is dead. Look, he’s lying on the ground.”

Handicap Treasure: “Still, you can’t use me! To operate such a top-tier weapon, are you worthy? Are you worthy? Are you worthy?”

The Handicap Treasure reverted to a steady system voice: “Detected unauthorized user; activating emergency program, locking the entire operating system.”

With a “click”, the trigger of the Handicap Treasure locked, rendering any attempt to pull it useless.

Su Mo flicked it and said, “Do you have to be so heartless?”

The gruff voice of the Handicap Treasure’s intelligent personality module replied, “I am a gun with principles.”

Su Mo: “Oh, whatever, I’ll just use your previous master’s fingerprint to unlock the operating permissions and re-register my fingerprint.”

The Handicap Treasure roared, “You’re too despicable!!!”

Su Mo rubbed his ear, used Park Yong-joon’s fingerprint to unlock the Handicap Treasure, registered his own fingerprint, and then deleted Park Yong-joon’s fingerprint information, making himself the sole authorized user.

Afterward, Su Mo, holding the Handicap Treasure with full access permissions, smiled and said, “Looks like you can only stick with me from now on.”

The voice of the Handicap Treasure was full of resentment, “You can have my body, but you’ll never have my heart.”

Su Mo: “Heh.”

He stored away the Handicap Treasure and did a round of scavenging on Park Yong-joon.

Besides a few Handicap Treasure-specific magazines and a few thousand in cash, there was nothing else.

A few ordinary management level prostheses were also damaged in the recent fight, with no resale value.

After finishing the scavenging, Su Mo prepared to leave the factory.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, his ears twitched, “What’s that noise…”

He leaned against a cover and quietly looked out.

A group of uninvited guests, nine figures, had arrived in the factory.

The day before, after finishing the commission and returning to the frontier, Su Mo vaguely noticed someone following him.

He thought it was just the eyes of a middleman.

But eyes only observed from a distance, never intervening in mercenaries’ commissions.

These people followed him into the factory, proving they weren’t sent by a middleman.

If he guessed right, they should be a group of fellow mercenaries looking to take advantage when the fire’s hot.

Su Mo chuckled coldly, drew out the Handicap Treasure from his pocket, and said, “Treasure, are you ready to greet the first battle with your new master?”
