After the recent upgrade of the Disassembler, it seemed to have introduced some new features.
Currently, Arthur has noticed two main changes, both of which are reflected in the prompts during the Disassemble.
First, when Disassembling weapons, the specific names of the weapons are no longer displayed. Instead, they are categorized by type!
Rifles, submachine guns, handguns, and so on - similar to how historical or genetic books appear when Disassembling books.
While this change is more streamlined, it seems to reveal the Disassembler's lack of detailed knowledge about the specific weapons.
It probably just shows them in broad categories because it doesn't know the exact names...
Of course, that's just Arthur's own guess!
The second change is the 'White' and 'Blue' in the brackets.
Seeing these two terms, Arthur immediately thought of the weapon ranks in DNF.
White, Blue, Green, Purple, Pink, Orange...
If this guess is correct then Arthur has a rather ominous feeling.
Verifying this wasn't difficult. All Arthur had to do was give one command.
"Disassemble!"
The familiar sound of gears grinding began, and Arthur prepared to wait patiently.
Within two seconds, however, the Disassembler had already finished Disassembling the weapon while Arthur was still in the "prepare" stage, waiting for the process to be completed.
Before he could even be shocked by the speed of the Disassembler, Arthur glanced at the Beginner Rifle Shooting Experience book in his hand.
A consolation prize...
The ones with 'White' in brackets must all be consolation prizes!
And in his Disassembler Space, the 'White' representing consolation prizes made up at least two-thirds of the total!
"What a fucking result!"
Arthur was dazed...
On second thought, it wasn't all that surprising.
These weapons had been stolen from the Freedom Fighters over the course of three days.
On the first day, he took weapons that had been used for a long time. On the second day, most of the weapons were new, and on the third day, they were all brand new!
So Arthur had expected such a situation to occur.
However, he had hoped that these weapons would become more valuable after being in their hands for a while.
Now it seemed that was just wishful thinking.
In any case, the new feature of the Disassembler saved Arthur a lot of work.
After all, with a large mix of weapons, it was almost impossible to distinguish which ones were worth Disassembling and which ones weren't.
Now, it was clear and straightforward.
Upon double-checking, Arthur almost cried. The weapons marked 'blue' were as follows: 45 rifles, 31 submachine guns, 39 handguns, and 75 knives and daggers!
In total, there were 115 firearms!
Arthur almost cried while Disassembling, as the psychological gap was too great.
He had initially thought that he could make a significant haul, but it turned out that he had overestimated his steal.
After the upgrade, the Disassembler could Disassemble five weapons at once, and the speed had improved significantly - whether it was one weapon or five, it was done in two seconds!
In no time, Arthur had Disassembled all 115 firearms and 75 knives and daggers...
The results of the Intermediate experience were summarized as follows
- 31 Intermediate Rifle Shooting Experience Books
- 28 Intermediate Rifle Melee experience books
- 21 Intermediate Submachine Gun shooting experience books
- 23 Intermediate Submachine Gun Melee Experience Books
- 27 Intermediate Handgun Marksmanship experience books
- 25 Medium Handgun Melee combat experience books
- 52 Intermediate Knife Combat experience books
Other scattered novice experience books have been placed in the disassembly room.
It's worth noting that Arthur's haul of small crystal shards was quite abundant, reaching an all-time high of 63!
As for the fragmented Battle Souls, the total count came to exactly 190!
Everything was temporarily stored in the Disassembler space, to be examined when he got home.
After all, walking down the street while clapping and celebrating would be a bit inappropriate; passersby might call a mental health facility on him.
The items in the Disassembler space had certainly made Arthur's posture more upright, giving him a false sense of imminent proficiency.
As for Tony's suit, Arthur still thought it would be best to Disassemble it at home, as it was too fragmented.
He wondered if the Disassembly process would go smoothly.
After tidying up his mood and collection, Arthur began searching for bookstores throughout the city!
At this stage, the most important task was the development and calculation of the perfect serum.
Now that the Disassembler had been upgraded, it was time to put it to use.
Bookstores were plentiful, so Arthur entered a seemingly good one, but left empty-handed.
The reason was simple: he couldn't Disassemble anything.
The bookstore only had new books, and no prompts appeared when he touched any of them.
This puzzled Arthur because he hadn't expected this.
Standing at the entrance to the bookstore, Arthur thought carefully about the books he had encountered before.
The first time was in Dr. Erskine's room, where the books were almost worn out.
The second time was in an old bookstore in New York, which had mostly old books.
The third time was in the secret room of a Hydra spy, where the books had been seen and even noted by Lindsay.
In addition, he had collected some books during his time with Agent Carter catching spies. His extraordinary memory recalled that none of these books were new!
The last time was in Lily's father's study, where he had read every book. Even some new books, like novels, didn't trigger the Disassembler!
So it was clear: Arthur scratched his head, feeling helpless.
Whether by chance or necessity, since he had discovered the Disassembler's ability to Disassemble books, every book he had encountered had been old.
New books couldn't be Disassembled, and this obvious fact had only come to light today due to various reasons.
"I was planning to make a copy of Lily's father's martial arts manuals and Disassemble them all."
Arthur sighed in regret and continued to search for bookstores... old bookstores!
---
Throughout the day, Arthur scoured the streets and alleys of New York in search of various old bookstores.
Such bookstores were not uncommon, but those specializing in genetics were rare.
Although there were many old books worth Disassembling, Arthur was reluctant to do so casually.
Especially with some useful but not essential knowledge, Disassembling them could lead to the Disassembler's experience accumulation, potentially causing another upgrade.
In the end, after all his efforts, none of the Disassemblies yielded results, and the Disassembler will be upgraded again.
Another upgrade meant several months of waiting- who could stand that?
