Chapter 29 Encounters with masters
Walking in front of an inconspicuous shop, Qianye stopped and looked up at the sign: "Ah Yi Firearms".
When he was still in the Red Scorpion, Qianye remembered that there was a chain of weapons stores in the empire called "Ah Yi Firearms", which was famous for specializing in high-end quality Force guns. However, the "Ah Yi Firearms" in front of him, from the store to the store furnishings, obviously has nothing to do with the empire's arms chain. Perhaps the shopkeeper heard the name from somewhere, so he drew a gourd and wrote it on the signboard.
Chiya walked in.
The storefront is small, and the walls on both sides are covered with all kinds of guns, but the appearance is dazzling, shiny, and vigorous.
However, Qianye is an expert, and after just one glance, he recognized that most of the firearms hanging on the wall were home-made firearms, although they also used the Force, but they could only play some auxiliary effects, and even the Primal Energy Bullet could not necessarily be condensed. In this sense, even the light of dawn shook them countless streets.
However, Qianye was not disappointed, this is the level that a small shop like Dark Blood City should have. If you want to get better goods, you have to go to the weapons shop that is officially licensed by the Empire, or go to the auction house to get it.
But the licensed weapons shops here all have expeditionary backgrounds, and Qianye doesn't want to show up easily. As for the auction house, if it doesn't have enough strength, even if it wins a good thing in this chaotic city, it is a question of whether it will have the life to get it back.
There were two real Force guns on the counter, but unfortunately they were still not as good as the Dawn Light. That is, they are not even first-class firearms.
Behind the counter sat a thin, half-bald old man, wearing reading glasses, who was intently wiping down the parts of a firearm, looking like he was ignoring it.
Chiya walked over to the counter and knocked on the counter.
The old man didn't raise his head and said, "Everything is there, see for yourself!"
"Take some real goodies out and see, don't fool me with this. Qianye said a little lazily.
The old man finally glanced at Qianye from above his glasses, and for a moment there seemed to be a sparkle in his cloudy eyes. Qianye was taken aback for a moment, but when he looked closely, he found that the old man's eyes were cloudy, and it seemed to be an illusion just now.
The old man finally spoke, and his tone was very calm: "What type do you want, sniper, pistol, assault rifle or something else?"
Qianye finally felt a little surprise, he had long heard that there was a dragon and a crouching tiger in the Dark Blood City, and there might be the best black market goods in the most inconspicuous storefront, but he didn't expect that the first small store he walked in would have such a rich supply.
This luck is too good, isn't it?Qianye couldn't help but ask tentatively, "How many levels?"
It's not bad if you can get a complete set of first-class ones, this is Qianye's expectation.
Unexpectedly, the old man's eyelids rolled, gave him a fierce look, and said with slight disdain: "Of course it's second-level." There are those who want to do better, but it will take a while. ”
Level 2! Thousand Nights, this is no small surprise.
In fact, with the strength of his third-level soldiers, second- to third-level firearms are very suitable, and the fourth-level scorpion needle will be a little difficult to use, if it weren't for his special condensed and strong force, it would really be unbearable.
"Okay! Take the goods out and have a look! Let's have an assault rifle first, plus a short-barreled shotgun, or a pistol, but it needs to be powerful, and the rate of fire and range are not very important. Qianye said what she wanted.
The old man didn't move, just pushed down his reading glasses, glanced up and down at Qianye, and then said, "Simple, direct, rough, and in the style of the army." It's not easy, boy!"
A thousand nights in my heart. Although his appearance has changed, some of the things engraved in his bones will not change. As long as you have seen him shoot, whether it is long-range or melee, it is not surprising to come to such a conclusion. But if the old man made a judgment based on the choice of weapon alone, it meant that his understanding of the Force and the Force firearms was at a master's level, even the Red Scorpion Legion's own equipment master.
Thousand Nights was in awe.
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Go and close the door of the shop." ”
Qianye closed the door of the store as she said, looking forward to adding a few more points.
The old man slowly stood up, walked into the room, and after a moment walked out with a white-washed canvas bag, and put it on the counter. Looking at the size of the canvas bag, this should be a rifle-type Force gun.
Chiya opened the canvas bag and pulled out the Force Gun with the butt removed, recognizing it as the 'Assaulter' series of rifles at a glance.
This model is standard for front-line officers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force and belongs to the Second Class Force firearm. Because it is a standard rifle, it has the universal characteristics of a military force gun, which is stable, powerful, easy to maintain, and not easy to damage. Relatively speaking, Qianye still prefers all kinds of military standard firearms.
This assault hand looks well-maintained, and it is sixty percent new, which is very satisfying to Qianye. It's not a surprise, but it's a good choice. There are many people in the area of Darkblood who use the standard weapons of the expeditionary force, and it is a common phenomenon that the quartermaster in the army will secretly sell a large number of half-used firearms in the name of scrapping.
"I want this thing, and a pistol, or a shotgun?" asked Chiya.
"Do you have any money?" the old man asked rhetorically.
Qianye was stunned and asked, "How much does this assaulter cost?"
"One hundred Imperial Gold Coins. The old man spat out such a number without the slightest emotion.
To be honest, Qianye was really surprised by the price.
In the military, a brand new Level 2 Force Gun is only available for 100 gold. The Assault can only be regarded as a very average second-level firearm, and the basic version is only about 90 gold coins. Like this sixty percent new goods, it will be worth 50 at the end. Unexpectedly, the old man directly quoted the price of a new gun.
Seeing Qianye's expression, the old man didn't mock, but still said lightly: "Little guy, you haven't been to Xuantong Street much, have you? If you want to get this kind of goods here, of course it can't be the price of regular channels." Or you can also go to other stores and ask, it's okay. ”
Qianye thought about it carefully, and what the old man said did make sense. He also once came into contact with some underground stores that traded black guns when he was on a mission, and the price was indeed completely different from that supplied to the army.
It's just that the price has reached this level, and Qianye's original configuration plan can't be done. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you accept guns here?"
Moments later, the deal was completed.
Thousand Nights sold the Wasp, the Level 1 Rifle and the Dawn Light, plus 10 gold coins, and finally got the Raider back. As an addition, the old man gave him three blank Force bombs that could be infused with the Force.
Qianye put things away. The rucksack for the assault is quite satisfying, this thing is half-new, and the most important thing is that the lining is made of semi-hard material, so it does not show the outline shape of the contents inside, which is very considerate for adventurers.
The closed door of the store was reopened, and Qianye saw a young man standing outside with a young man between his eyebrows, looking at the signboard of the store.
He is very young, about the same size as Qianye, dressed as a hunter, and actually has the strength of a first-class soldier.
Seeing Qianye come out, the boy stepped into the threshold.
Qianye only took a few steps, and suddenly heard the old man's voice faintly behind him: "Simple, rough, direct, and in the style of the army!"
Somehow, Qianye suddenly felt a slight sinking in his heart.
He hurried back to the hotel, opened the canvas bag, took out the assault hand, opened them one by one, and examined them carefully. When he opened it and saw the inside, Chiya almost cursed.
Many of the small parts inside the Force Gun are worn out, but the parts that can be seen from the outside have been specially polished and trimmed, so the overall look is much newer.
The whole gun was not 60 percent new at all, but only 40 percent new! There were also a few small parts that were seriously worn out and had to be replaced.
The only thing that reassures Qianye a little is that the parts related to the Force Array are well maintained, and they have a fifty percent new look. Moreover, some core parts still show signs of retuning and optimization, and the overall performance should be slightly stronger than the original version. After the Thousand Nights test, it was found that the Force conversion rate was around 33%, which was not bad.
But no matter what, this gun is never worth 100 gold coins, even at the black market price, it would be good to be able to sell it for 60 gold coins.
The old man was not a master of firearms, but a master of acting. From the very beginning, he created a hidden illusion of a master for Qianye, and a military style completely frightened him.
Qianye happened to be from the army, and when he was shocked, he was convinced of what the old man said. If he hadn't heard well and heard what the old man said to the young man when he left, he wouldn't have known that the phrase 'military style' was originally used by everyone.
Hunters, adventurers, and mercenaries, probably the more rookie they are, the more they like to hear the phrase 'military style' on them. Qianye was unlucky, just in time.
Dark Blood City does hide dragons and crouching tigers, I don't know how many Dao masters there are, but obviously there are more liars.
Thinking back now, there was a moment when Qianye suspected that this shop had some unclear relationship with Ah Yi's firearms in the upper continent of the empire. Thinking about it at the moment, he can only smile bitterly.
As for going to Ah Yi to find the firearm again, it is not something that Qianye will consider. Don't look at the old man's shop, but every liar who can take root on Xuantong Street is not simple. Qianye, an alien lone wanderer, can't fight these local snakes at all, so he can only sigh that he is unlucky.
Qianye glanced at the parts scattered all over the table again, and shook her head even more helplessly.
The method of refurbishing these parts is actually quite exquisite, and even if Qianye opens the gun body on the spot to look at it, he will see a fairly new interior. He won't find a problem until he takes every part out and looks at it completely.
This kind of technique, to be honest, is already at the master level. If you use this kind of energy to build a new gun, it is estimated that the money you will make will not be much less, so Qianye is in a good and funny mood at the moment, and she feels that she has not been deceived too wrongly.
It's not easy to do anything these days, after all, people have also worked hard.
Chiya slowly reassembles the assault hand, then goes out and finds a parts store nearby to buy some gadgets and substrates.
Upon returning to the room, he repainted the Assault and worn-in the surface. An hour later, what had been a good-looking assault was a rusty old item, the kind of thing that should have been thrown into the garbage a long time ago.
Qianye then took out the small parts that were in question, set up the repair tools, and spent a full two hours repairing the parts that could be repaired. Two parts that could not be repaired, he went out again, and bought back a replacement.
By the time Qianye was done, it was already dinner time. But after processing, this assault has fully recovered its level, and at least fifty percent of it is new and can be used for a while.
Looking at this assaulter, Chiya was quite satisfied, and then took out the blank Force bomb and began to study.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the voice of the hotel maid sounded outside the door: "Little handsome guy, do you need service?"
Qianye immediately opened the door and said, "Yes!"
