Infinite Cosmic Cafeteria Chapter 100: New Build

Translator: StellarNovels Editor: StellarNovels

After introducing the Villain’s Mask, Collette opened another box.

“—Alloy Electric Spear II. Compared to standard mechanical spears on the market, this one delivers higher voltage and stronger current, allowing it to paralyze even medium to large-sized prey.

“In addition, the spear itself is forged from a special alloy, making it extremely durable, almost unbreakable, and resistant to wear—perfect for prolonged battles.”

Bocchi picked up a spear from the box and weighed it in her hand, finding that this enhanced mechanical spear was slightly heavier than the standard version. The spearhead was sharper, featuring blood grooves.

As for the electroshock effect, it would need to be tested in real combat, but for now, Bocchi was quite satisfied with her new weapon.

Collette continued, opening the third box, revealing something familiar to Ma Lu.

—A pistol.

Perhaps due to the differences in natural resources between the two dimensions, technological advancements varied as well.

Ma Lu had rarely seen firearms in this world; most weapons and equipment were electrically powered.

For example, his previous crossbow, and now this pistol before him, were also technically electric equipment.

The bullets were propelled by compressed air from an electric motor rather than by ignited gunpowder.

This pistol, named the Destroyer by Collette, was at least three times larger than a conventional handgun, making even the M500 look small in comparison. A better term for it would be a hand cannon.

Its weight was equally impressive, close to 5 kg, making it a workout just to hold for a while.

However, the sacrifice in size and weight brought increased power, extending the range from the crossbow’s 15-20 meters to 50 meters.

It could also be equipped with various types of ammunition, including standard metal bullets, tranquilizer darts, explosive rounds, smoke rounds, and electroshock rounds. Unlike the crossbow, which could only fire one bolt at a time, the Destroyer could shoot five rounds in quick succession, significantly enhancing its practicality.

The weight was no issue for Ma Lu, thanks to his Roguelike blessings, which he could stack for increased strength.

As for the size, well, it wasn’t exactly suitable for sneaky attacks from inside a coat, but holding it felt pretty cool.

For men, bigger is better! Big means awesome!

Ma Lu especially appreciated the multi-ammo capability, allowing him to handle various situations.

This feature would be particularly useful if he managed to repair the desktop farm in the future; tranquilizer and electroshock rounds would be ideal for capturing live targets.

After showcasing the first three pieces of equipment, Collette walked over to the last and largest box.

His excitement grew, and he even switched the song on the radio to something more intense.

As the music hit its peak, he reached out and opened the box.

Inside was an oversized backpack.

“—Fury Wing.”

Collette whistled and explained, “A piece of Lost Technology, and my favorite equipment. It grants hunters the ability to fly.

“Though the flight time is only 4.5 minutes and the maximum height is 120 meters, it can reach speeds of up to 50 meters per second, faster than many flying beasts.”

“But it takes a lot of training to master. I’m not sure you’ll have the chance.”

“Don’t jinx it. If we die, you won’t last long either,” Mai Mai retorted.

Collette shrugged, unconcerned. “Everyone dies; it’s just a matter of sooner or later. That’s why we should enjoy life to the fullest!”

“Anyway, thanks for bringing us the new equipment,” Mai Mai said. “We’re about to head out of the city, so we’ll definitely put these to good use.”

“No problem, just remember to send any Lost Technology relics you find my way for research.”

Collette said, "Oh, and please help me record the usage of the equipment."

"No problem."

"Alright, go do what you need to do. I’m off to find a place to grab a drink."

With that, Collette tugged at his pants, got back into the transport truck, and drove off, leaving the radio on the roof blaring rock music as he went.

“What a weirdo,” Setta commented.

“Yeah, but he’s also the best weapons expert in The Giant Screen,” Mai Mai said. “Maybe that’s what he means by the privileges of a genius.”

“I’ve heard of Collette too,” Bocchi added. “They say he’s an equipment advisor for two diamond-level hunting teams. I always imagined he’d be some old grandpa, but he’s surprisingly young.”

As they spoke, the members of Double Sunflower divided up the new equipment.

Each member received a Villain’s Mask, and there were three Alloy Electric Spear IIs in total. Bocchi took two, while Setta claimed the remaining one.

There were two Destroyers, one for Ma Lu and one for Mai Mai. The last two pieces of Fury Wing were temporarily stored on Bocchi and Senqi’s motorcycles.

Instead of heading straight to the guild hall, the group first went to the underground marketplace on Level 1, spending 10,000 kilowatts of energy to purchase a batch of live prey.

With the ongoing beast tide, the purchase prices for various meats had dropped significantly, and the sale prices were also lower.

Ma Lu planned to butcher the prey and resell them, ultimately acquiring seven three-star ingredients and 124 two-star ingredients with his 10,000 kilowatts.

From this, he obtained three golden blessings, 36 purple blessings, and 92 blue blessings.

Ma Lu had already purchased the Trouble of Happiness in the previous round, but the blessings came in so quickly that he hadn’t had time to select them. Only now did he fully realize the value of this curio, which cost 1,999 points.

It added an extra option, significantly increasing the chance of obtaining high-quality blessings.

Coupled with good luck this time, the seven three-star ingredients yielded three golden blessings.

Ma Lu had already decided on the build he wanted to construct from the start.

He first used Sticky Web to retrieve a purple blessing.

【Puppeteer: When a team member kills a target, there is a 33% chance of turning the target into a corpse puppet. Each puppet lasts for seven minutes, with a maximum of 15 corpse puppets existing simultaneously.】

This purple blessing was something Ma Lu had stumbled upon by chance when sniping small monsters from the city wall to earn points before he left.

He quickly realized the immense value of this blessing.

—A summoning build, and specifically, the core blessing of an undead summoning build.

Just like the explosive build, the undead summoning build was also well-suited for dealing with the current monster horde environment.

Additionally, the undead summoning build offered extra utility compared to the explosive build.

This was why Ma Lu, right from the start, chose to bring back 【Puppeteer】 even at the cost of forgoing god-tier abilities like 【Strike Charge】.

He also didn’t hesitate to activate the effect of Work Plan Book, specifying 【Puppeteer】 as the core of his build.

As for the golden blessing, he once again selected 【Super Imitation Show】.

Moreover, Ma Lu had earned a massive amount of points in the previous round—21,542 points to be exact, combined with the remaining 6,832 points, bringing his total to 27,374 points.

He then headed to the Curio Shop and purchased two new curios.
