Chapter 29 Encountering an expert by chance

When he reached an inconspicuous small store, 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 "Ayi Firearms", which was famous for its high-end and high-quality Force gun business. However, the "Ah Yi Firearms" in front of us obviously has nothing to do with the empire's arms chain, from the store's recruitment to the store's furnishings. Perhaps the shop owner heard the name from somewhere and copied it on the signboard.

Qianye walked in.

The store is not big, and the walls on both sides are covered with all kinds of firearms. The appearance is dazzling, shiny, and looks vigorous.

However, Qianye is an expert. After just one glance, he recognized that most of the firearms hanging on the wall were homemade firearms. Although they also used the Force, they could only provide auxiliary effects, and even the original energy bombs might not be able to be condensed. . From this point of view, even the light of dawn has left them countless streets behind.

However, Qianye was not disappointed. This was the standard a small shop like Dark Blood City should have. If you want better goods, you have to go to an officially licensed weapons store from the empire, or go to an auction house.

But the licensed weapons shops here all have expeditionary force 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 takes a good item in this chaotic city, whether it can be taken back with life is still a question.

There were two real force guns placed on the counter, but unfortunately they were still not as good as the Light of Dawn. In other words, they are not even first-class firearms.

Sitting behind the counter was a thin, half-bald old man, wearing reading glasses, who was concentrating on wiping gun parts with an indifferent look.

Qianye walked to the counter and knocked on the counter.

The old man said without raising his head: "Everything is there, take a look for yourself!"

"Come out and take a look at some really good things. Don't fool me with these rags." Qianye said lazily.

The old man finally glanced at Qianye from above his glasses, and for a moment a sparkle seemed to appear in his cloudy eyes. Qianye was immediately startled, but when he looked carefully, he found that the old man's eyes were as cloudy as before, and it seemed like it was all an illusion.

The old man finally spoke, with a very calm tone: "What type do you want, a sniper, a pistol, an assault rifle or something else?"

Qianye finally felt a little surprise. He had long heard that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Dark Blood City, and that the best black market goods might be found in the most inconspicuous stores. He didn't expect that the first store he walked into would have such a rich selection of goods. supply.

This is too much luck, right? Qianye couldn't help but asked tentatively: "What level?"

It would be good if he could get a set of first-level ones, which was Qianye's expectation.

Unexpectedly, the old man rolled his eyelids, rolled his eyes at him, and said with slight disdain: "Of course it's Level 2. There are also better ones, but it will take some time."

Level 2! This is no small surprise for Qianye.

In fact, with his level 3 warrior strength, level 2 to 3 firearms are very suitable, but the level 4 scorpion needle would be a bit difficult to use. If his force power were not particularly concentrated and powerful, he would not be able to withstand it.

"Okay! Take the goods out and take a look! First, an assault rifle, and a short-barreled shotgun, or a pistol. But it needs to be powerful. The rate of fire and range are not very important." Qianye said. own requirements.

The old man did not move, but pushed up his reading glasses, glanced up and down at Qianye, and then said: "Simple, direct, rough, military style. Not simple, boy!"

Qianye felt a chill in his heart. Although his appearance has changed, some things engraved in his bones will not change. As long as I have seen him take action, whether it is long-range or close combat, it is not surprising to draw such a conclusion. But if the old man makes a judgment based solely on weapon selection, it means that his understanding of the Force and Force firearms is at the level of a master. Even the equipment master of the Red Scorpion Legion is no more than this.

Qianye was in awe.

The old man showed a clear smile and said, "Go and close the store."

Qianye closed the door of the store as he was told, and his anticipation increased.

The old man stood up slowly and walked into the inner room. After a while, he came out with a canvas bag that was washed a little white and put it on the counter. Judging from the size of the canvas bag, this should be a rifle-type Force gun.

Qianye opened the canvas bag and took out the Force gun with the stock removed. He recognized it at a glance as an 'Assaulter' series rifle.

This model is the standard equipment for frontline officers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force and is a second-level Force firearm. Because it is a standard rifle, it has the general characteristics of a military force gun. It is stable, powerful, easy to repair, and not easily damaged. Relatively speaking, Qianye still prefers various types of military standard firearms.

This assault hand looks well maintained and is 60% new, which makes Qianye very satisfied. Although this thing is not too surprising, it is still a good choice. There are many people using Expeditionary Force standard weapons within the Dark Blood City. It is a common phenomenon that quartermasters in the army secretly sell large quantities of new firearms in the name of scrapping them.

"I want this thing! Is there a pistol or a shotgun?" Qianye asked.

"Do you have money?" the old man asked.

Qianye was startled and asked, "How much does this assault hand cost?"

"One hundred imperial gold coins." The old man spit out such a number without any emotion.

To be honest, Qianye was really shocked by the price.

In the army, the price of a brand new level two force gun is only 100 gold coins. The assaulter can only be regarded as very average among the second-level firearms, and the basic version only costs about 90 gold coins. Something like this, which is 60% new, may be worth only 50 yuan. Unexpectedly, the old man directly quoted the price of a new gun.

Seeing Qianye's expression, the old man did not ridicule, but still said calmly: "Little guy, you haven't been to Xuantong Street often, have you? If you want to get this kind of goods here, of course it can't be at the price of regular channels. . Or you can go to other stores and ask, it doesn't matter."

Qianye thought about it carefully and realized that what the old man said did make sense. He had also come into contact with some underground stores that traded black guns when he was on a mission, and the prices were indeed completely different from those that supplied the army.

It's just that the price has reached this level, Qianye's original configuration plan is no longer feasible. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you keep guns here?"

Moments later, the transaction was complete.

Qianye sold the Hornet, the first-level rifle and the Dawn Light, plus 10 gold coins, and finally exchanged it for the Raider. As a bonus, the old man gave him three blank force bombs that could be infused with the force.

Qianye put away his things. The assault rifle's rucksack is quite satisfactory. It's not old but not new. The most important thing is that the lining is made of semi-rigid material, so the outline of the contents inside is not visible, which is very considerate for adventurers.

The closed store door reopened, and Qianye saw a young boy with a green eyebrow standing outside, looking at the store's sign.

He is very young, about the same size as Qianye. He is dressed as a hunter and has the strength of a first-level warrior.

Seeing Qianye coming out, the young man stepped across the threshold.

Qianye had just taken a few steps when he suddenly heard the old man's voice faintly coming from behind him: "Simple, rough, direct, military style! Not bad, boy!"

Somehow, Qianye suddenly felt his heart sink slightly.

He quickly returned to the hotel, opened the canvas bag, took out the assault hand, opened it one by one, and inspected it carefully. When he opened it and saw the inside, Qianye almost cursed.

Many small parts inside this Force gun are badly worn, but the parts that can be seen from the outside have been specially polished and repaired, so the overall look is much newer.

The whole gun is not 60% new at all, but only 40% new! There are also a few small parts that are seriously worn out and must be replaced.

The only thing that gave Qianye some peace of mind was that the parts related to the Force array were well maintained and looked like 50% new. Moreover, some core components show signs of re-adjustment and optimization, and the overall performance should be slightly stronger than the original version. After Qianye's test, he found that the force conversion rate was around 33%, which is pretty good.

But no matter what, this gun is definitely not worth 100 gold coins. Even at the black market price, it would be good to sell it for 60 gold coins.

The old man is not a firearms master, but an acting master. From the beginning, Qianye gave Qianye the illusion of a hidden master, and his military style completely frightened him.

Qianye happened to be from the military, so he was so shocked that he believed what the old man said. If he hadn't had good hearing and heard what the old man said to the young man when he left, he wouldn't have known that this "military style" was used when meeting people.

Those hunters, adventurers and mercenaries, probably the more novice they are, the more they like to hear the comment that they have "military style". Qianye was unlucky and fell into the trap.

Dark Blood City is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I don't know how many masters there are, but obviously there are more liars.

Looking back now, Qianye found that there was actually a moment when he suspected that this store had some vague relationship with Ah Yi's firearms in the upper continent of the empire. Thinking about it now, he could only smile bitterly.

As for going back to Ah Yi's firearms retrieval site, it was not something Qianye would consider. Although the old man's shop may be small, every liar who can take root on Xuantong Street is not simple. A foreign lone traveler like Qianye couldn't defeat these local snakes, so he could only lament his own misfortune.

Qianye glanced at the parts scattered all over the table again, and shook his head even more helplessly.

The method of refurbishing these parts is actually quite sophisticated. Even if Qianye opened the gun body on the spot and looked at it, he would still see a quite new interior. Unless he completely disassembles every part and examines it, he won't find the problem.

This technique is, to be honest, considered an expert level. If he used this kind of energy to make a new gun, he would probably make a lot of money, so Qianye was in a very angry and funny mood at the moment, and felt that being deceived was not too unfair.

Nothing is easy these days, after all, people have worked hard.

Qianye slowly reassembled the commando, then went out and found a parts store nearby to buy some small tools and base materials.

After returning to the room, he repainted the commando and gave the surface a distressed finish. An hour later, the originally good-looking Commando turned into a rusty second-hand item that should have been thrown into the trash a long time ago.

Qianye immediately took out the problematic small parts, set up the repair tools, and spent a full two hours repairing the parts that could be repaired. He went out again to buy replacement parts for the two parts that couldn't be repaired.

By the time Qianye finished all this, it was already past dinner time. However, after being processed, this assault hand has been fully restored to its standard. It is at least 50% new and can be used for a period of time.

Looking at this assaulter, Qianye was quite satisfied, then he took out the blank force bomb and started studying it.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the hotel maid's voice sounded outside the door: "Young handsome man, do you need service?"

Qianye immediately opened the door and said, "Yes!"
