"Are you going to buy an antique gun for your father's birthday?"
The store manager was surprised, and so were the customers in the store.
But it's no wonder they are like this. Guests who come to Gun Street usually have only one goal, and that is to buy the desired firearms with appropriate power, whether it is a pistol or a rifle.
There are also people who buy antique guns, but this group of people is very specific.
At least, not a single high school student will show up.
The reason is simple, most of the antique guns have lost the function of firearms, and they are very expensive.
To some extent, it is already a luxury, ordinary high school students cannot afford it, and high school students who can afford it have other channels to obtain better firearms.
However, the reason given by Tang Qi made people unable to jump out of the problem.
A "rich second generation" who seems to have a good family, buys an antique gun as a gift for his father who has such a hobby, who can criticize
Of course, Tang Qi would not say that Yuanben's father had passed away.
The reason why he wanted to buy an antique gun was, of course, to find a weapon for self-defense.
With hot weapons, Tang Qi naturally wouldn't get any knives, guns and sticks.
It's just that due to his age, he couldn't buy those powerful new firearms, so he set his mind on antique guns.
The reason why he didn't choose to take the risk was to find some gray channels to buy real firearms.
The first is that he is unwilling to reveal the identity he is trying to play now, and the second is that he has not yet reached that situation, so he will not let him put all his eggs in one basket.
For antique guns, as long as you try to choose some that still have the function of firearms, it will be enough.
The original body may not have much knowledge about firearms, but Tang Qi himself has a lot.
In his previous life, he was also a gun enthusiast, and he went to the United States to experience it. He is also very keen on antique guns, relying on the development of the Internet, and has a lot of relevant knowledge reserves.
Here, it is absolutely impossible for a high school student to be proficient in the knowledge of antique gun restoration.
Because, the Internet has not yet appeared.
The current civilization that originated from Blue Star happened to be stuck at this node.
After thinking about this, the burly Caucasian store manager immediately changed from seriousness to enthusiasm. At this time, he looked at Tang Qi as if he was looking at a very kind...Kaizi.
"Sell an antique gun, and the income can cover this dilapidated store for half a month."
The store manager murmured in his heart, and at the same time led Tang Qi into the store very enthusiastically.
In front of the innermost counter, with a "snap", a thick illustrated book fell in front of Tang Qi.
On the cover, it is an extremely ancient matchlock gun.
The store manager patted the illustrated book and said proudly: "I like people with filial piety the most. You can pick slowly. In the entire gun street, when it comes to the collection of antique guns, no one can compare with me. Which one do you like?" Just tell me, I'll give you a 10% discount."
While the store manager was speaking, Tang Qi had already opened the illustrated book.
As soon as the price of the first antique gun caught his eye, Tang Qi resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
Expensive, very expensive.
Although Tang Qi had just been born into this world not long ago, he already had a good understanding of prices.
The price of antique guns in this illustrated book is about ten times that of new guns.
The power is not as good, but the price has increased by ten times or even hundreds of times. It is no wonder that Tang Qi wants to roll his eyes, and it is no wonder that the store manager is so generous.
It's a pity that a 10% discount can't hide the essence of swindling customers.
But now Tang Qi didn't have much room to be picky, so he looked through it patiently.
After only reading a few pages, Tang Qi was a little immersed in it.
Like antique swords, antique guns also have a heart-pounding artistic charm, which is a mixture of time and iron, the collision of steel and gunpowder.
If it wasn't for this trip with a purpose, Tang Qi really wanted to appreciate it.
In particular, although the original Blue Star is somewhat similar to the previous Earth, there are also many differences, which are reflected in the guns, and the Blue Star's guns are even more exaggerated and wild.
All kinds of antique guns that make people's blood swell exude an extremely attractive atmosphere under the influence of time.
After carefully appreciating a few pages, Tang Qi began to turn the pages quickly, showing a look of choosing gifts based on appearance, which made the store manager more convinced that a big deal was about to be concluded.
Soon, Tang Qi selected about a dozen antique guns.
Most of them still retain their functions, and the few used for cover are the kind that can basically only be placed on shelves as works of art.
"Manager, that's all, I want to see the real thing."
"no problem!"
For a possible big customer, the store manager, a strong white man, was very patient.
After greeting the hot girl waiters in the two stores, he quickly put a dozen boxes in front of Tang Qi.
When the first box was opened, Tang Qi immediately saw a gleaming golden pistol with an ivory grip, and the surface of the gun body was plated with gold. The first glance was enough to let people know that its first owner must be either rich or noble, The power is definitely not bad.
The store manager's introduction sounded at the right time: "The Vakryon gold pistol was made by the famous slave owner, Earl William, and was given to his descendants and subordinates. There are no more than a hundred of them in existence. This is my town shop. Treasure."
Listening to the introduction, Tang Qi looked directly at the second box without even raising his eyelids.
Golden pistol
Tang Qi was bought to protect himself, not to attract thieves.
The second box is much more reliable to open. It is a revolver with strong western style, simple and rough shape, wooden handle, and light gun body. It can be seen that it has been well maintained.
"Boy, this is the favorite guy of the cowboys in the west, the Corona revolver, the perfect combination of simplicity and power, as long as it is a man, it will definitely like it."
Tang Qi suppressed his heart a little, and continued to look at the third box.
This time, there were two large-caliber short-barreled pistols.
With a large caliber and a silver body, you can imagine the explosive gunpowder and the strong smell of sulfur at a glance.
"Boy, you have found my sweetheart. These are a pair of Silver Hunters. The Silver Hunter Company only made a thousand pairs. You can't take them away without a price that makes my heart beat."
Obviously, this pistol is very eye-catching, because Tang Qi has heard a lot of swallowing sounds from around.
To be honest, Tang Qi was also extremely moved.
This pair of large-caliber short-barreled pistols completely retains their functions, and you can tell their power when they explode without looking at them.
But with the idea of not missing any good things, Tang Qi suppressed his temper and continued to look down.
Next, the boxes were opened one by one, and antique guns of various shapes and ages appeared one by one.
The store manager was not impatient at all, and gave detailed introductions, showing the knowledge of hardcore collectors, which opened Tang Qi's horizons.
But when he saw that there was only the last box left, Tang Qi didn't see anything that could surpass the pair of "Silver Hunters".
Just when Tang Qi had a decision in his heart, the hot girl waiter in front of him opened the only remaining box.
Tang Qi, who was about to open his mouth to buy the Silver Hunter, stopped suddenly.
"Huh"
While exclaiming from the bottom of his heart, Tang Qi's breathing was imperceptibly disordered for a moment.
The eyelids quickly closed, and he focused on the special interface that appeared in his pupils.
There, the word "strange thing" suddenly appeared, which was extremely dazzling, and it also brought a surprise that Tang Qi almost couldn't hold back.
