Global wonders have descended, and only I possess the treasure-hunting radar.

After all, no one who makes it this far is a fool.

They had never heard of the name Wang Yan before.

They naturally gathered some information about Wang Yan through various channels.

After they learned that Wang Yan had once dispersed the illusory image of the Faceless God, all six people present acknowledged Wang Yan's strength.

After all, although they had all experienced similar missions, they had never been able to directly defeat an SS-level calamity phantom like Wang Yan had.

But what truly surprised them was the timing of Wang Yan becoming the wielder.

It's way too short.

Wang Yan was completely unconcerned about the candidates' gazes.

What puzzled him was the way the six S-level recommenders looked at him.

Curiosity mixed with a hint of schadenfreude.

Wang Yan turned to look at Gu Zhixing.

"What's going on here? Why are those S-rank rank soldiers looking at me like that?"

Gu Zhixing pushed up his glasses.

"Ignore them. You'll find out why they're looking at you like that in a bit."

"I was quite surprised when Director Zhang made that suggestion this morning."

Wang Yan frowned, quite displeased with Gu Zhixing's riddle-solving behavior.

But out of curiosity, I continued to ask questions.

"So what does this have to do with Zhang Zhiyan? What plan did he propose?"

Gu Zhixing did not answer, but instead began to introduce several S-level recommenders in the room.

"That short guy is called Han Zhenyue. He has mastered the S-level [Mountain Seal] and is best at direct suppression. Although he is short, he has a bad temper. You'd better stay away from him in the future."

"The woman on the left is Su Tingxue. She possesses the S-rank [Silent Bell]. Her mental and auditory abilities are among the best in headquarters. She's a difficult woman to assess."

"That guy who's always looking up at the sky, with his face covered in scars, is Luo Qianshan. He wields the S-rank [Star Hunter Bow]. Once he locks onto you, it's not easy to escape even from dozens of kilometers away once he draws the bow. He's not a bad guy."

"That……"

Before Gu Zhixing could continue speaking, the silver-white gate in front of the venue opened.

Zhang Zhiyan came out from inside.

He stood in front of the crowd and first glanced at the six candidates with a blank expression.

Then, his gaze fell on Wang Yan, and he revealed a meaningful smile.

Upon seeing this, two words immediately came to Wang Yan's mind.

Oops.

This old bastard is probably up to no good.

As expected, Zhang Zhiyan's first words caused the six candidates' expressions to change.

"The original selection scheme, which involved calculating scores based on incident handling, has been cancelled."

A tall candidate, seemingly well-prepared for the original selection process.

Upon hearing what Zhang Zhiyan said, he immediately asked.

"Director Zhang, why?"

Zhang Zhiyan spoke calmly.

"There is no need to continue the selection process. Headquarters has reviewed the experiences, records, and test data of all six of you."

"Anywhere else, you would indeed be considered geniuses."

"But in front of Wang Yan, you can only describe him with two words."

Zhang Zhiyan paused for a moment.

"Rubbish……"

This statement caused an immediate uproar.

The six candidates looked at each other.

Their faces were all looking increasingly grim.

Zhang Zhiyan, however, acted as if he hadn't seen it and continued, "So it was my suggestion, and it was approved by the higher-ups at headquarters."

"The qualification to possess this S-class artifact will be directly handed over to Wang Yan."

"Why should I? I refuse to accept this!"

The tall candidate was the first to speak.

"I've shed blood for the Bureau and risked my life countless times on missions."

"They're not even going through a selection process before handing the qualification to a newcomer?"

Another candidate with short hair said in a deep voice, "Director Zhang, this does not comply with the original rules set by headquarters."

Some people even looked directly at Wang Yan.

"So what if he defeated the phantom of the Faceless God?"

"Who among those present hasn't single-handedly resolved a high-level calamity event?"

"Exactly! How can a newcomer who has only recently become a weapon wielder take away an S-class artifact?"

Wang Yan could understand why they were angry.

After all that preparation, it's frustrating to have the qualification given to someone else before the selection even begins. No one would be happy about that.

It's understandable, but that's another matter.

Wang Yan was still somewhat annoyed by these people's constant use of the phrase "unworthy."

He didn't change the rules.

If you have any objections, take them to Zhang Zhiyan.

What kind of skill is it to stare at him and yell?

And Zhang Zhiyan was right.

In Wang Yan's view, these people...

Even without using S-class artifacts, relying solely on himself and a few A-class artifacts.

They're nothing but worthless junk.

Zhang Zhiyan looked at the excited candidates and laughed, showing no intention of backing down.

"Since the rules have already been set, they can't be changed anymore. But to shut up a few old guys..."

"Whoever can snatch that S-grade artifact from Wang Yan will obtain it!"

After saying that, Zhang Zhiyan casually tossed it aside.

A strange object flew from his hand and streaked through the air.

Before Wang Yan could react, the strange object was already gone.

It landed steadily in my hand.

It's quite heavy.

Wang Yan looked down.

That was a modified MP5 submachine gun.

There is no magazine; in the center is a black gun core covered with fine lines.

Four mechanical guide rails extend forward from the gun core.

As the guide rail rotates slightly, the barrel, stock, and aiming mechanism also change accordingly.

Four silhouettes—sniper, assault, shotgun, and heavy artillery—flashed rapidly across the gun.

A system notification appeared the moment the item was acquired.

[Unclaimed S-rank artifact detected: Battle-hardened Armory.]

[Rare Item: Battle-Used Weapons]

[Abilities: Weapon Transformation, Enemy Lock Imprint, Domain-Breaking Bullet, Victory Streak Firepower, Domain-Wide Fire Line.]

[Weapon Transformation: The Hundred Battles Weapon can switch between four modes: sniper, assault, shotgun, and heavy artillery. The sniper mode offers the highest range and single-shot damage, the assault mode boasts the highest rate of fire and stability, the shotgun mode is suitable for close-range coverage, and the heavy artillery mode possesses the strongest area-of-effect damage.]

[Target Lock Mark: After aiming at a target, the user can leave a target lock mark on the target. During the mark's duration, bullets can track the target's scent and correct their trajectory once after being fired. Normal stealth and appearance changes cannot remove the mark.]

[Domain-Breaking Bullet: The user can channel their physical strength and the power of magical artifacts into the gun barrel to condense a Domain-Breaking Bullet. The longer the charge time, the stronger the penetrating power, and it has additional destructive effects on barriers, enchantments, domains, and high-level defenses.]

[Winning Streak Firepower: After hitting targets consecutively, the rate of fire, power, and penetration of the Hundred Battle Armory will increase in layers, stacking up to ten times. If an attack misses or fire ceases for more than ten seconds, the increase will be reset to zero.]

[Domain: The Division]

[Domain Rule 1: The location and presence of all hostile targets within the domain will be marked, and conventional concealment, camouflage, and disguise will not break the lock.]

[Domain Rule Two: The holder may activate twelve long-range firing points within the domain. Bullets fired by the Hundred Battles Armory can originate from any of these firing points and change direction once during their flight.]

[Domain Rule 3: Each hit will apply a layer of firepower suppression to the target, continuously reducing the target's speed and defense until the target leaves the domain or the suppression is cleared.]

[Side effects: Continuous firing will accumulate war contamination and recoil damage. With severe contamination, the user will gradually lose the ability to distinguish friend from foe. Recoil damage will affect the bones and internal organs; excessive use may lead to physical collapse.]

[Rating: S]

[Collection Condition 1: Use each of the four weapon forms to effectively hit a target of rank A or higher.]

[Collection Condition Two: Defeat five or more enemies alone without sustaining any injuries.]
