Walking in front of an unremarkable small shop, Qianye stopped and looked up at the signboard: "Ah Yi Firearms".
When he was still in 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 force gun business. However, the "Ayi Firearms" in front of him obviously has nothing to do with the empire's arms chain, from the recruiting to the display in the store. Perhaps the shopkeeper heard the name from somewhere, and wrote it on the signboard in the same way.
Qianye walked in.
The storefront is not big, and the walls on both sides are covered with all kinds of firearms. The shapes are dazzling, shiny, and look vigorous.
However, Qianye is an expert, and after just one glance, he recognized that most of the firearms hanging on the wall were earthen firearms. Although they also used the original force, they could only have some auxiliary effects, and even the original energy bullets might not be able to condense them. . From this point of view, even the light of dawn has thrown them countless streets.
But Qianye was not disappointed, this is the standard that a small shop like Dark Blood City should have. If you want better stuff, you have to go to the weapon shop officially licensed by the empire, or go to the auction house to get it.
But the licensed weapon shops here all have expeditionary backgrounds, and Qianye doesn't want to show up easily. As for the auction house, if you don't have enough strength, even if you get a good item in this chaotic city, it's a question of whether you can get it back.
There are two real force guns in the counter, but unfortunately they are still not as good as the light of dawn. In other words, they are not even considered first-class firearms.
Sitting behind the counter was a skinny old man with semi-bald hair, wearing reading glasses, and was concentrating on cleaning the parts of the firearm, with a look of indifference.
Qianye walked to the counter and knocked on the counter.
The old man said without looking up: "Everything is there, see for yourself!"
"Get some really good things out and have a look, don't fool me with these rags." Qianye said lazily.
The old man finally took a look at Qianye from the top of his glasses, and for a moment there seemed to be a sparkle in his cloudy eyes. Qianye was startled immediately, but when he looked carefully, he found that the old man's eyes were as cloudy as before, and it was completely like an illusion just now.
The old man finally spoke, with a very calm tone: "What type do you want, sniper, pistol, assault rifle or something else?"
Qianye finally felt a little surprise. He had long heard that dragons and crouching tigers are hidden in Dark Blood City. The most inconspicuous store might have the best black market goods. He did not expect that the first small store he walked in would have such a rich variety of goods. Supply.
This luck must be too good, right? Qianye couldn't help but tentatively asked, "What level?"
It would be good if they can complete a set of first-level ones, this is Qianye's expectation.
Unexpectedly, the old man rolled his eyelids, gave him a hard look, and said with a slight disdain: "Of course it's the second level. There are better ones, but it will take some time."
Level 2! This was no small surprise for Qianye.
In fact, with the strength of his third-level soldiers, second-level and third-level firearms are very suitable, but the fourth-level scorpion needles will be a bit difficult to use. If it weren't for his particularly condensed and strong original force, he really couldn't stand it.
"Okay! Get the goods and take a look! Let's get an assault rifle first, plus a short-barreled shotgun, or a pistol, but it needs to be powerful, and the speed of fire and range are not very important." Qianye said. own requirements.
The old man didn't move, just pushed down his reading glasses, glanced up and down Qianye, and said: "Simple, direct, rough, with military style. Not easy, kid!"
Qianye's heart trembled. Although his appearance has changed, some 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 draw such a conclusion. But if the old man made a judgment based on the choice of weapon, it meant that his understanding of the original force and its firearms was at the level of a master, even the Red Scorpion's own equiper was no more than that.
Qianye was in awe.
The old man showed a slight smile and said, "Go and close the shop door."
Qianye closed the shop as promised, expecting more.
The old man stood up slowly and walked into the room. After a while, he came out with a canvas bag that was washed a little whitish, and put it on the counter. Judging by the size of the canvas bag, this should be a rifle type force gun.
Qianye opened the canvas bag and pulled out the Force Rifle with the butt removed from it. He recognized at a glance that it was the "Assaulter" series rifle.
This model is the standard equipment for the frontline officers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and it belongs to the second-level force firearms. Because it is a standard rifle, it has the general characteristics of military force guns, stable, powerful, easy to repair, and not easy to damage. Relatively speaking, Qianye still prefers all kinds of standard military firearms.
This Assaulter seems to be in good condition, 60% new, which makes Qianye very satisfied. Although this thing is not too surprising, it is still a good choice. There are quite a few people using the standard weapons of the Expeditionary Army in the area of Dark Blood City. Quartermasters in the army will sometimes secretly sell a large number of used firearms in the name of scrapping. This is already a common phenomenon.
"I want this thing! Is there a pistol or a shotgun?" Qianye asked.
"Are you rich?" the old man asked back.
Qianye was startled, and asked, "How much is this assaulter?"
"One hundred imperial gold coins." The old man spit out such a number without any emotion.
To be honest, Qianye was really surprised by the price.
In the army, the price of a brand new second-level force gun is only 100 gold coins. The Assaulter can only be regarded as a very general among the second-level firearms, and the basic version is only about 90 gold coins. A 60% new item like this may be worth 50 and it will be over. Unexpectedly, the old man directly quoted the price of a new gun.
Seeing Qianye's expression, the old man didn't sneer, but still said lightly: "Little guy, you haven't been to Black Copper Street very often, 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 go to other stores to ask, it doesn’t matter.”
Qianye thought about it carefully, and what the old man said was indeed reasonable. 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 can't be done. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you accept guns here?"
Moments later, the transaction is complete.
Qianye sold the Hornet, the first-class rifle and the Light of Dawn, plus 10 gold coins, and finally got back the Assaulter. And as a bonus, the old man gave him three blank force bombs that could infuse the force.
Qianye put away his things. The rucksack that holds the commando is quite satisfying. This thing is half-new and not old. The most important thing is that the lining is made of semi-hard material, so the outline and shape of the things inside cannot be seen, which is very suitable for adventurers.
The closed store door was reopened, and Qianye saw a young boy standing outside with a brow between his brows, looking at the signboard of this store.
He was very young, about the same size as Qianye, and dressed as a hunter, he actually had the strength of a first-class soldier.
Seeing Qianye coming out, the boy stepped into the threshold.
Qianye had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard the old man's voice faintly behind him: "Simple, rough, direct, and military style! Not bad, kid!"
For some reason, 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, Qianye almost cursed out loud.
Many small parts inside this original force gun are not lightly 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 badly worn and have to be replaced.
The only thing that reassures Qianye is that the components related to the original force array are still in good condition, with a 50% new look. Moreover, there are signs of re-adjustment and optimization of some core components, 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 not bad.
But no matter what, this gun is by no means worth 100 gold coins, even if it can be sold for 60 gold coins at the black market price, it is not bad.
The old man is not a master of firearms, but a master of acting. From the very beginning, Qianye had been given the illusion of a hidden expert, and his military style completely bluffed him.
Qianye happened to be from the army, so he was so shocked that he believed in what the old man said. If it weren't for his good hearing, he would not have known that the phrase "military style" was used by everyone when he heard what the old man said to the young man when he left.
Those hunters, adventurers, and mercenaries, probably the more rookies they are, the more they like to hear the comment that they have "military style". Qianye was unlucky and happened to be hit.
Dark Blood City is indeed hiding dragons and crouching tigers. I don't know how many masters there are, but obviously there are more liars.
Thinking back on it now, Qianye actually had a moment when he suspected that this store had some indistinct relationship with Ah Yi's firearms in the upper continent of the empire. Thinking about it now, he could only smile wryly.
As for going back to Ayi Firearms to get back the place, it's not something Qianye would consider. Although the old man's shop is small, it is not easy for every liar who can take root on Black Copper Street. A lone traveler like Qianye couldn't beat these local snakes at all, so he could only sigh to himself that he was out of luck.
Qianye glanced at the scattered parts on the table again, and shook his head even more helplessly.
The refurbishment method of these parts is actually quite sophisticated, even if Qianye opened the gun body to check it on the spot, he would still see a fairly new interior. Unless he completely dismantles every part and checks, he will not find the problem.
This method, to be honest, is considered a master level. If you use this kind of energy to build a new gun, you probably won't make much money, so Qianye is in a good mood and funny at the moment, and feels that being cheated is not too wronged.
It's not easy to do anything these days, after all, they have worked hard.
Qianye slowly reassembled the assault hand, then went out and found a nearby parts store to buy some small tools and substrates.
Back in the room, he repainted the Stormtrooper and gave it a distressed finish. An hour later, the otherwise good-looking Raider was a handful of rusty junk, the sort of thing that should have been thrown in the trash long ago.
Qianye then took out the problematic small parts, set up the repair tools, and spent a full two hours repairing the parts that could be repaired. The two parts that didn't work he went out again and bought replacements.
By the time Qianye finished his work, it was already past dinner time. However, after being processed, this Assault Hand has been fully restored to the standard, at least 50% new, and can be used for a period of time.
Looking at the Assaulter, Qianye was quite satisfied, and then took out a blank force bomb and started researching it.
At this time, the door knocked suddenly, and the voice of the hotel maid sounded outside the door: "Little handsome guy, do you need any service?"
Qianye immediately opened the door and said, "Yes!"
