Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Weapon Fusion Ideas and Self-Improvement

Seraphina Sullivan nodded in satisfaction, her gaze sweeping over the entire [Scavenger’s Farm].

The Cannibal Flower, [Flora], stretched its thorny vines in a corner.

Sensing its master’s gaze, it gave a friendly wave with its leaves.

[Moe], along with its subjects, lay quietly in the rocky area like a group of gray statues.

[Ruby] was also resting on the other side.

Looking at this "vibrant" yet slightly bizarre scene, Seraphina suddenly felt that her whole style was getting weirder and weirder.

Her core Talent was clearly [Worker], so how had she ended up with such a bizarre group of "employees"?

The thought sparked an idea!

’Maybe... in future dungeons, I could disguise myself as a Player with the [Beast Taming] Talent, just like Crystal Lynn, and become a Beast Tamer.’

The idea seemed very feasible to her.

And just like that, another persona for her disguise emerged.

Just imagine: when others thought she was just a Beast Tamer who relied on her pets to fight, she could suddenly whip out her scissors and strike.

Or hit them with a surprise Energy Needle Stabbing.

Or even turn them directly into a dish...

The sight would surely catch everyone completely off guard!

Seraphina was almost certain that the variety and potential combat power of her current group of "employees" was probably even more absurd than that of Crystal Lynn, who had a genuine Beast Taming Talent.

Outside the RV, Crystal Lynn suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose and muttered to herself in confusion, "Who’s talking about me?"

She would never have guessed that a certain someone, "who was already disguised as Medical Assistance," was silently comparing whose pets were stronger and had reached a conclusion that would have made her burst into tears.

The more Seraphina thought about it, the more brilliant her "disguised Beast Tamer" plan seemed, and a cunning smile crept onto her lips.

"There isn’t much time before the next dungeon opens. From now on, our core mission is to hoard supplies and seize every opportunity to train and increase our strength."

Seraphina concluded, setting a clear goal for herself and her team.

For her, entering a dungeon wasn’t just about completing the mission, but also about collecting as many usable resources as possible to maximize the rewards of each adventure.

Sean Chandler stood quietly to the side. Upon hearing her words, he simply nodded, indicating he would follow all her arrangements.

His loyalty and obedience were Seraphina’s most solid support.

Seraphina mulled it over for a moment before taking out a card from her Space. It shimmered with a metallic luster, and Energy Runes flowed across its surface.

It was the [Weapon Fusion Card] she had previously obtained from Justin Brooks.

Looking at the card, Seraphina couldn’t help but think of the [Poisonous Python Black Whip] that had been destroyed in battle.

The Poisonous Python Black Whip, which Seraphina had fused from various materials, was a special weapon.

She had found the weapon quite handy, and its loss was a real shame.

"Sigh..." Seraphina let out a soft sigh, then gathered her thoughts and began to carefully take stock of her item inventory.

She planned to select some weapons that were not very useful or were of limited value to fuse, hoping to create a more practical and powerful new item.

No sooner said than done, Seraphina began placing the selected items one by one on the sturdy wooden table.

The first thing she took out was a firearm with a rather futuristic design: the [Sound Wave Vibration Gun].

It was a piece of loot she had modified in the first dungeon using her [Scavenger] Profession Skills.

It could fire invisible sonic shockwave attacks and also detect an opponent’s position.

But as the dungeon Levels got higher and the monsters she encountered grew stranger, the weapon began to feel a bit lacking.

’What items could I fuse this gun with to create an effect greater than the sum of its parts?’

Seraphina rested her chin in her hand, lost in thought.

She then took something that looked like an old-fashioned flashlight out of her Space: the [Sun Flashlight].

It was an item she had gotten from Nicholas Jensen in the Dark Apocalypse dungeon.

As long as it had absorbed sunlight, it could provide nearly infinite illumination, making it a very practical support tool.

’Should I fuse this flashlight with the Sound Wave Gun?’ The thought had barely surfaced before Seraphina immediately shook her head.

’No, that would be too much of a waste. And the resulting item would probably be a bizarre mishmash.’

She was more inclined to find a ranged or energy-type weapon that would complement the [Sound Wave Vibration Gun].

’If only I could find another whip-type weapon...’ Seraphina thought subconsciously.

She wanted to recreate the [Poisonous Python Black Whip].

Seraphina discovered she had a particular fondness for whips.

The feeling of control they offered—acting like an extension of her arm, capable of being both hard and soft, the sensation of the lash—felt incredibly natural to her.

’Whips really suit me,’ she thought, and even subconsciously swung her arm through the air as if holding an invisible long whip.

Maybe she should pay more attention in the next dungeon to see if she could find a suitable replacement, or... perhaps use this Fusion Card to create her own unique and powerful whip?

A glint of anticipation flashed in Seraphina’s eyes at the thought.

Safety Zone 1 of Vorlag City seemed to have entered a rare period of peace.

Of course, this peace was only superficial.

Countless staff and Guards still stood their ground silently in the biting wind, maintaining this fragile order.

After experiencing the threat of the Splitting Demon Rabbits and an overhaul of its internal rules, the safety zone’s management system had rapidly improved.

The survivors were also striving to adapt to their new lives, and the entire area exuded the tough resilience of a community rebuilding amidst the ruins.

Seraphina did not let this time go to waste.

In addition to high-intensity combat training with Sean Chandler in her Space to continuously improve her fighting skills and reflexes, she also proactively sought out the medical personnel in the safety zone to systematically learn the basics of medical first aid.

She knew very well that the "Medical Assistance" persona she had established in the real world needed a solid foundation to be convincing.

Learning more couldn’t hurt.

Not only could she play her role better in front of others, but if she was unfortunately injured in the future, she could also perform more effective emergency treatment on herself.

Relying on the steady hands and subtle perception of human anatomy provided by her [Quick Sewing] Skill, she had already reached a fairly professional level in bandaging and suturing external wounds.

Her movements were even swifter and more precise than those of many veteran doctors.

However, when it came to diagnosing and treating more complex internal injuries, she still felt out of her depth.

That required more profound medical knowledge and the aid of sophisticated instruments—something that couldn’t be solved by a mere "sewing" Skill.

Reaching this level of trauma care in such a short time was already the limit of what she could achieve by combining it with her own Talent.

「Meanwhile.」

The bombshell news she had passed up through Justin Brooks had already been reported. The message—that animals could also become Players—was sent to the Central Base and top leadership through the safety zone’s special channels, under the highest security classification.
