Chapter 1 A boy from the East

A bullet flashed with a pale yellow halo in the dim light. Looking closely, this bullet is different from an ordinary bullet, with an unformed pattern on the warhead.

The one who was outlining the lines was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. He was wearing coarse cloth clothes and holding an old star-filled pen in his hand. Although he was not very beautiful, he had a pair of unique black pupils.

You should know that in the dusk star, not many people even in the Ulu star system have black pupils, which is a unique symbol of the powerful residents of the Eastern Star Domain.

The boy's expression was very focused. His hand holding the pen swung slightly. The amplitude of the lines was very small and also very subtle. When the last stroke ended, the red lines on the bullet flashed suddenly, and a flame-like light lit up.

"It's done!" Looking at the star patterns that were dimming, Chu Yu gently exhaled a turbid breath and placed the bullet in his hand into the wooden box beside him.

There are five bullets with the same carved patterns placed in the wooden box.

With the box in his arms, Chu Yu walked out of the room.

The Black Steel Camp is definitely a weird thing on Dusk Star. This camp is built on an abandoned military outpost and was established by deserters.

In addition to Sun Twilight City, Heigang Camp is the only safe place for Dusk Star.

There are many scattered camps on this small colonial star, but no one knows how long they can exist. Perhaps in just one night, several camps will disappear under the attack of star beasts.

Dusk Star is not a suitable planet for colonization, because there are fierce star beasts here. This planet has not been abandoned yet, entirely because there is a star stone ore vein on this planet.

After Chu Yu walked out of the house, a burly man with an old gun was already waiting at the door. When he saw Chu Yu, he asked anxiously: "How many armor-piercing satellite bombs were made this time?"

Before Chu Yu could answer, several more people gathered over, staring at the wooden box in Chu Yu's hand, as if waiting for the result.

Chu Yu raised his palm to everyone.

Seeing this number, the eyes of the people surrounding him lit up.

"Xiao Yu, sell me one first, I will pay two hundred star coins." The burly man pressed everyone beside him and said.

"Why? I'll sell 210 star coins to me!" said a middle-aged man with a strong figure and a scar on his face.

“Two hundred and fifteen.”

There are two channels for making money at Dusk Star. One is to dig star stones. If you are lucky, you can dig a few star stones with high purity in a day, making a big profit. If you are unlucky, you can't dig a piece of it for several days.

The other is to hunt star beasts. As long as you can hunt a star beast and collect materials on the star beasts, your income will be no less than that of digging star stones.

If you want to hunt star beasts, in addition to daring to fight desperately and have certain luck, you also need good weapons and equipment.

The armor-piercing star bombs made by Chu Yu are 10% more powerful than the standard armor-piercing star bombs, which is why the people in the desert are scrambling to snatch them.

"Three hundred star coins, let you and I grab them!" Seeing everyone robbing, the burly man was anxious and offered the highest price he could offer.

As soon as the burly man opened his words, the gathered people suddenly became silent.

The 300 star coins are a sky-high price, enough to buy two armor-piercing star bombs at Lao Shaq’s weapon store.

Although the armor-piercing star bombs made by Chu Yu are 10% stronger than the armor-piercing effect of Lao Shak, based on the minds of the desolate people, the probability of two star bombs being hunted for star beasts is greater than that of one.

After taking a closer look at the burly man with an anxious and excited face, Chu Yu instantly judged the intention of the man. If he was not wrong, the man named Maris had already had a big goal.

Chu Yu said: "Uncle Maris, I only have 250 star coins, but I still have to follow the old rules."

Maris nodded quickly and took an armor-piercing star bomb from Chu Yu's hand.

The crowd dispersed. When there were only four armor-piercing star bombs left in Chu Yu's hand, no one asked Chu Yu for it anymore, because Chu Yu never sold the remaining four.

These four bullets were left to Lao Shake by Chu Yu.

When he left after paying the money, Chu Yu saw a hint of excitement in Maris' eyes and a worry.

For the deserter, 300 star coins are not a lot. If you use them all to buy ordinary bullets, you can buy about 300.

After secretly wishing Maris success, Chu Yu walked towards Old Shaq's weapon store.

In Chu Yu's eyes, there are two people in the Heigang Camp that need to be grateful.

One is his grandfather Chu Ziwu, and the other is Lao Shake.

The reason why he and his grandfather were able to live in the Black Steel Camp was completely protected by the No. 2 figure in the Black Steel Camp.

Old Shaq not only gave the disabled Chu Ziwu a job, but also acquired his armor-piercing star bomb after Chu Yu started making star patterns.

At the beginning, Chu Yu's armor-piercing star bomb was not very good, and he could only reach half the effect of a standard star bomb.

Such a character that can be sold by armor-piercing star bombs cannot even make up for the loss of Red Star Ink.

But the price Old Shaq gave Chu Yu was enough to give Chu Yu enough Red Star Ink to practice continuously, and at the same time there was a small surplus.

Chu Yu is a person who knows how to be grateful. After that, although the price given to him by Lao Shaq will always be the same, Chu Yu will still leave a portion of the armor-piercing star bombs for Lao Shaq every time.

Today, there seemed to be a distinguished guest at Lao Shaq's weapon store, an old gentleman wearing a black tuxedo and very graceful.

When Chu Yu stepped into the weapons store, the old gentleman and Lao Shaq were talking in the store.

If Chu Yu did not make a mistake, this old gentleman should have come from Rimu City. In the Heigang Camp, no one cares about his clothes. Only the rich people in Rimu City will take care of their lives seriously.

After discovering Chu Yu, the two stopped talking and looked at Chu Yu at the same time.

"Xiao Yu, has the Red Star Ink used up again?"

"Well, Grandpa Shak, here are four armor-piercing star bombs." Chu Yu nodded, then placed the wooden box in his hand on the counter.

Putting on reading glasses, the lame old Shak slowly walked to the counter, sat down, opened the wooden box and carefully observed the armor-piercing star bomb brought by Chu Yu.

Old Shaq comes from Sundun City, which is well known in Black Steel Camp.

Although most of his customers are wastelanders who want to get rich overnight on the dusk star. However, the weapons in the store are still very complete, whether it is ordinary firearms or special star pattern guns, there are some simple star pattern swords and swords, and even the star pattern sticks dedicated to the mage are not short of them.

Although they are all low-end goods, it is rare to appear in the black steel camp.

Most people in the desert can only afford ordinary guns, but the better is to buy some armor-piercing star bullets. If you are richer, you will buy a star-patterned gun. As for close-up star-patterned weapons and star-patterned sticks that release gorgeous magic, most people in the desert can't afford it. Even if you can afford it, few people will use it.

Compared with simple and easy-to-use firearms, close-fitting weapons and star-patterned rods are too complicated. Untrained people, using these two things, is no different from seeking death in battle.

Chu Yu once wanted to go over and try hunting star beasts or dig star stones, but these ideas were strangled by his grandfather from the beginning.

After his grandfather passed away, Chu Yu had no such idea because he wanted to take his grandfather's ashes home. Once he died on the dusk star, the grandparents and grandchildren could only stay on the dusk star.

So now Chu Yu can only accumulate the teleportation fee of the star pattern array by making star pattern array.

Fortunately, drawing star patterns is a very special job. As long as Chu Yu can become a star pattern master, he can earn enough money to go home in a very short time.

Star pattern master is a profession that never lacks money, and better star pattern masters are favored by many forces.

"Xiao Yu, have you changed the armor-piercing star pattern again?" Old Shaq asked Chu Yu after carefully observing an armor-piercing star bomb.

"Well, I'm the changes made after looking at the star pattern last time." Chu Yu said.

"What's the effect?" Old Shaq continued to ask.

"It can probably increase the armor-piercing effect by about three percent." Chu Yu said in a little thought.

"About three percent." Old Shaq looked at Chu Yu with a strange look, with a sense of sigh.

All star patterns have almost fixed effects. To improve them, a lot of time is required to study and experiment. For some special star patterns, it is already an ecstatic thing to increase the effect by one percent.

Although the armor-piercing star pattern is a very low-level star pattern and it is easier to improve it, it can be improved four times in just a few years to increase the effect by 13%. I believe that even graduates from orthodox colleges cannot do this.

Besides, Chu Yu has not received any formal learning to draw star patterns.

"One star coin is 210." Old Shaq said to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu nodded without thinking.

Old Shaq has been considered a special preferential treatment, and the increase of three percent is exchanged for ten-star coins.

"Grandpa Shaq, I need ten milliliters of red star ink, and there are thirty standard bullets." Chu Yu said.

Hearing Chu Yu's words, the old man in the tuxedo next to him showed a ray of surprise in his eyes, but Old Shaq was not surprised at all.

"Are you planning to start trying to explode the star bomb?"

"Yes." Chu Xuan nodded.

This conversation completely dissipated some surprise in the tuxedo old man, but replaced it with a suspicious look.

Ten milliliters of red star ink are already a bit too much for making armor-piercing star bombs, especially when Chu Xuan can almost guarantee a success rate of 90%.

But it is far from enough to create a bursting bomb.

It takes a lot of practice to draw new star patterns. For star pattern masters, a new star pattern often takes dozens of milliliters or even several liters of star ink to master a new star pattern.

Ten milliliters, too little!

Old Shaq pondered for a moment, then said to Chu Yu: "I'll give you fifteen milliliters."
