Chapter 246 - Cannon Gunner And Diablo



Chapter 246 Cannon Gunner And Diablo

90 days had passed after version 2.0.

The players were busy doing their missions, fighting monsters and fellow players.

And the City of Dawn was developing at a breakneck pace!

It was because William’s prediction had been correct.

The Blackleaf forest did not object to the arrival of the Moonlight Elves. Instead, they welcomed them and sent 100,000 Blackleaf Elves to the City of Dawn!

The Blackleaf Elves were young. They were at the Beginner and Intermediate, but they showed great potential.

All of this proved that someone had a strong faith in William, but William did not know who he was.

At this time period of rapid development, William kept the Dragon and continued chatting with Annie to improve their relationship. At most, William would hold the hands of Annie. In his other time, William would go to the fortune-telling hut to get in touch with Moses. He also alternated between the City of Dawn and Stormy Island.

And since he decided to obtain the ‘blood essence of the Blood Dragon’, he had to get in touch with the Emerald Grand Duchy.

Eric became the emissary and traveled to the Emerald Grand Duchy. The visit was to discuss the setting up of teleportation portals that would facilitate trade and commerce.

Meanwhile, a new occupation, Cannon Gunner, was available in the City of Dawn.

“Gosh, is the City of Dawn that awesome? They even have Cannon Gunners?” The foreign players were full of envy.

“I remember that the occupation hall of the Grand Duchies did not even have the Cannon Gunner occupation, and there were very few Cannon Gunners. They were mostly hidden NPCs, and they had to do hidden missions in order to change occupation.” The foreign players could not help but feel jealous.

The players were already yearning to become Cannon Gunners since a long time ago.

However, there was not one player who had changed his occupation to a Cannon Gunner.

The Cannon Gunners were so few in numbers, but it was not because they did not want to teach the players about their occupation.

The Cannon Gunners were also helpless as they only had a set of equipment. The weapon and gunpowder were only sufficient for their own uses.

And those were purchased from the Kingdoms. If their homes were not in the Grand Duchy, they would not return.

The gunpowder was extremely expensive. Why would they accept disciples just because of gold coins, wine, and some meals?

It would not work even if they were gifted with women!

That was right.

The Cannon Gunners did not accept disciples…

Because once the players become Cannon Gunners, they would discover that they were impoverished…

After the end of the Darkness Invasion, there were many rumors in the large continent. One of them was that the empires were allowing the grand duchies to develop gunpowder. There would not be any limitation on the Cannon Gunners, but the implementation would take half a year.

During that period of time, the players would go offline, and the game would be upgraded. Two years would pass by, and the magic in the continents would multiply by at least ten times.

The sudden increase in the intensity of magic would cause the entire world to change.

Many genius NPCs would appear, and the magical beasts would grow rapidly. Ore resources would also dramatically increase.

In other words, the entire world would change very fast.

The empires would not restrict the grand duchies from mining niter ores, and they would allow the grand duchies to have strategic weapons such as cannons. This was to fend off the increasing threats from the dark creatures.

For the players, a Cannon Gunner was a rare hidden occupation. And even if the players managed to change occupation, they might not have sufficient weapons and gunpowder.

But, the City of Dawn was different…

Two Cannon Gunners appeared in the occupation hall. They could teach the players to attain the Beginner and Intermediate.

The secret manual of the Dawn Mercenary Team even listed the possibility of obtaining the Advanced, Grandmaster, and Epic levels!

And the most important thing was that the sales inventory also listed single and dual-handed cannons along with single-barrel long rifles.

It meant that the City of Dawn had the complete system for the Cannon Gunners and their equipment.

However, the players complained about the high prices of the equipment and the cost required for becoming a Cannon Gunner.

But in less than five days, 30,000 grumbling players had become Cannon Gunners!

Even players of the Black Lava Dukedom were attracted to stay in the City of Dawn.

Chasing after novelties was human nature. No matter how they grumbled about William, they were still handing over their gold coins willingly to him.

After the appearance of Cannon Gunners.

The Dawn forum was abuzz with discussions.

A player ‘Sword smilee’ complained, “The veteran players made massive losses while the Beginner players made good gains.

“They can choose directly to become Cannon Gunners. But for us warriors and archers, it’s a big loss. Too bad, such a good occupation is only available now.”

Another player, ‘I am most handsome besides His Royal Highness’, sarcastically rebuked. “You can’t make a living out of an awesome occupation. Moreover, not everyone has the peerless appeal of His Royal Highness!”

“The performance of the Cannon Gunners was average in the arena. The range of the long rifle is not as far as the bow, and the speed is not as fast. The attack strength is still developing.

“The close combat power of the cannons is devastating, but it is inferior to the warrior.

“It’s only an average occupation!”

“What do you expect? The long-range capability of the Cannon Gunner is comparable to the ranger. In addition, the Cannon Gunner has various close-combat skills in addition to the cannon. I’m a dual sword warrior, and I dueled with a Cannon Gunner just now. I was careless, and the cannon decimated my 1,500 Health Points. I was instantly killed.”

“Hmm, let’s not discuss your defensive skills. If it were a shield-bearer, he wouldn’t have such a horrible death!”

“You are correct. The unique capability of the Cannon Gunner is the explosive damage of the cannon.

“As you know, this is a magically enhanced Cannon Gunner. The weapons can be enchanted, even battle energy can be infused in the bullets. The true capability of the Cannon Gunners is not as weak as you described.”

“Anyway, Cannon Gunner is a developing occupation. The performance is not stable, and the winning rate is low in the arena, but the explosive damage is high. When they are able to use magical weapons, they will be the most awesome occupation!”

These kinds of comments were common on the forum.

The professionals were also discussing it in private.

The leader of Prosperity Millennium Club, Forever Alone, made use of his superior speed to defeat a Cannon Gunner player. Forever Alone discovered the exemplary capability of a Cannon Gunner. “The explosive damage is devastating. Many skills of the Cannon Gunner are able to accumulate power. The longer the accumulation time, the greater the damage.

“They have different quality bullets with special effects. When the bullets hit, they will create significant effects on the enemy.

“It is unknown if there will be magical equipment for the next game version. If there are magical weapons, the Cannon Gunners will be the winners.

Ino

“Continue your development as a Cannon Gunner. The club will support you!”

The warriors and rangers were the big winners in version 1.0.

In version 2.0, the emerging assassins, warriors, and rangers were the main occupations.

And what about the magic-user occupations?

The magic users belonged to the supportive occupations. There were not many area-effect magic skills unless they had hidden secret manuals.

Of course, the special occupations like Temple Knights and clerics were not included.

But no matter what, the appearance of the Cannon Gunners made the magic-using players very sad. They did not know how long their occupations would be relegated to the second grade.

But William thought that Advanced mages were powerful because of the availability of many area-effect magic skills. Whether it was a legion battle or an Instance Dungeon challenge, the magic users would be very popular.

The magic users would be upgraded from second grade to top-grade occupation.

When the magic users became an archmage, they would be respected as Grandmasters…

The Cannon Gunner might appear to be powerful; however, once they challenged the Instance Dungeon and partake in long wars, they would be in total despair.

The bullet and gunpowder consumption, not to mention the maintenance of the weapons, required a lot of money. Numerous Cannon Gunners would cry out in despair.

Because the Cannon Gunner had two aliases!

The truth and impoverished master!

The first meaning was that the Cannon Gunner did not care about money. To a gunner, anything within the range of the cannon was the truth. The direction of the nozzle was pointing to death!

The second meaning was that the Cannon Gunners would be like white elephants in the Instance Dungeon. They might not be able to shoot out 100 bullets within three hours. What about the expensive and special bullets?

Apologies!

There were none!

The Cannon Gunners would not use the expensive bullets even if they perished!

“No, I have to promote the capability of the Cannon Gunners, so that the beginners can change their occupations. If they don’t change their occupations, how can I earn money?” William’s recent Instance Dungeon did not earn much money.

As long as they had their equipment, the players of other occupations did not incur additional expenses.

But it was different for the Cannon Gunners.

The bullets that they used were only manufactured in the City of Dawn in the entire southeastern region.

William was making a windfall. The greater the number of Cannon Gunners, the more money he made.

He had to strike while the iron was hot!

“Don’t blame my greed. After all, I will not have a source of gold coins and experience points when the players would go away for two years.” William prayed silently for a moment.

Then he heard door knocks.

“Come in!”

William stroked his brows as he gazed at Diablo, who had just come in.

That was the War Gang Leader, Metal Storm Diablo.

He was not the only one.

Violent Dragon, who had Epic bloodline, and shield-bearer Wells, who had Legendary bloodline, had become the capable generals of William.

It was inevitable that the Black Lava Dukedom defected to the City of Dawn.

The new Advanced professionals were not able to adjust to their new environment. Fortunately, Prince William was charismatic and was able to subjugate them regardless of whether they were men or women, animals, or humans. As long as they were not dark creatures, William was able to charm them.

Even if Lady Luck were to present herself, if given enough time, William would be able to charm his way into…

Ahem!

It would not be that easy.

Diablo hesitated for a long time before he said, “My lord, I have a request!”

William curiously looked at Diablo. They were both Advanced professionals. And even though Diablo was not William’s match, he was not weak.

Why would Diablo request for help?

William did not have any reason to decline. He smiled and said, “Tell me about it. If it’s within my means, I’ll help you.”

“It goes like this…”

Ding dong!
