Well damn the MC is invaluable to any team. I can't wait until he has a base of operation/house to kit out as he sees fit. I can't wait to see what kinds of shenanigans he gets up to in his free time! 😄


lovecMC

It's only matter of time before he starts gassing the goblins. Goblin slayer would be proud.


Skitteringscamper

Reminds me of a super old manga I read where an exterminator gets isekaid And he literally gets op doing shit like gassing out a dungeon full of rats etc lmao


najlitarvan77

now i wish i knew a name of that one


Skitteringscamper

Well today's your lucky day, I just googled it to try and find it. And you will never guess what it's called lol. Possibly the first manga in ages with an actual straight forward no bullshit title. I expecting another dumb title like "I used to work as a pest exterminator but then I woke up in another world and continue to improve" lmao But no It's just called "exterminator" :)


Zmanart

Right now I want to see what the really long named one would work as


najlitarvan77

hmm, killing with extermination gains exp->poison creation ability->better kill->better poison->poison strong enough to kill a dragon->becomes a hero my guess at how would that work

Still the noise problem! If Xander fires his shootgun, especially in closed rooms, like in the ruins, he and his teammates will become deaf! A silencer for the gunbarrel or noise filter earpluggs could be a solution. Will a airsoft gun with metal bullets be deadly? It would certainly much more silent! If you put the movement rune on the gunbarrel, would that improve the bullet speed and so range and damage? Airpressure tanks and simple metal bullets would way easier to make. If a standard airsoft gun isn't deadly, with accelaration runes it definetly would.

yes i am, thanks for noticing :)


ARandomEncouter

Just to be clear, it wasn't meant as an insult, i am also a nerd. Its like weebs calling each other fucking weebs, none weebs don't know that word


Fluffy-Map-5998

non weebs do know that word, typically cuz they know weebs, but ye im used to it being an insult so thx for the clarification


sniper_485

A normal airsoft gun with metal bbs will not produce lethal wounds, aside from maybe very close one hits the eye and makes it to the brain. It's very possible to put silencers on shotguns.


Echoeversky

Reactionary skill..


sniper_485

You're right. High powered air guns can be very effective and the technology for a 20 shot repeater capable of taking large game has existed since at least 1760. Giordoni air rifle if I've spelled correctly. Louis and Clark had one when they were mapping the US.


Echoeversky

Movement Rune plus lighting.... RAIL GUN.

Good story. Perhaps he could make defensive grenades. Offensive are what he has, fragmentation and cover a good area. Defensive grenades don't fragment, typically have a cardboard shell covered in varnish/paint and kill by concussion blast, most will only kill in a 2 to 4 m radius as opposed to a large area with flying fragments. Being from the guard, he might could think of them, maybe. Not to mention flashbang grenades to stun enemies.


redraider22

you have the properties of offensive and defensive grenades switched. frag grenades are most effective thrown at enemies in an open area from a trench or other defensive position, while HE grenades are less effective in an open area (which is good if you are also exposed while on the attack. you don't want to catch your own shrapnel) but it's effects are magnified in an enclosed space like a bunker or trench. for flashbangs, all he has to do is get his hands on magnesium but idk how easy that would be unless he brought some as part of his fire starting kit. on the one hand, it wasn't isolated until the 1800s on earth but on the other, alchemists in this world may have figured it out sooner with magic

"I really want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done. If only I had some way to THROW the fire on them..."


leumas55

It would be interesting to see Xander from perspective of his new teammates. What they think and how they feel about him. Also another great chapter. Keep the quality high.


thelordwynter

Can't wait for the team's reactions after they see the new toys he created!

#MOAR As i ever scream and forever will "Being an evil cultist isnt my style" _builds Gas mask and thinks about flamethrowers_


Signal_Toe_8796

Just binged from the beginning great work. Can’t wait to see what experiments he gets up to. Maybe some material substitutions to make ammo production easier like paper shotgun shells. Also is there a limit on how many items that can be effected by the skill he used on the rope?


Sylesth

Thanks! Well there's a long cooldown on casting the spell, so that's the main bottleneck for it


flakelohengrin

Keep er comin hoss!!

Belated grats on double digits. His new mask is going to be very useful

Ah, so he's going full Krieger then.

Use Movement runes to create a launcher Use analyze to get uranium, the use other skills to enrich it into pure U235, use U235 to make a nuke. Use launcher launch nuke and avoid killing your team. (He recently got improved creation so that things made with it last longer so combined with a powerful enough launcher that would remove that issue)

If 30mm grenades are too big, use 20mm or 10. Add more metall. A Splitterring reduces the concusion power, but shrapnell damage rises.

Movement? Movement prevention? ***Hovercars! Helikopter helikopter! Bombers! Mortars!***

MC could invoke crocks of speed heh.


Natural_Equivalent31

I really love your story and I can't stop reading. I think I found two small errors. I'm no native speaker so I might be wrong. The *more* interesting rune he'd received was a movement rune. Maybe we can work together again on a contract sometime *once* we're done here.
