Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 423 Application for Combat Readiness Resources
What Lawrence said was the "Federal Bureau for the Investigation of Anomalous Creatures", not the "Northern Federal Bureau for the Investigation of Anomalous Creatures"!
When the money was distributed from the fund pool to the North Bureau, it must have been intercepted by the North Bureau, so that in the hands of the North Bureau investigators, there was only so much money left!

Chen Yanqi's teeth were itchy, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't even know where the office address of the North Bureau was. .

"damn it……"

Chen Yan was sullen for a while, and after recovering, he noticed the irregular allocation of investigation funds.

He thought about it, and felt a little strange. The seemingly unremarkable and even nonsensical "Study on the Abnormal Ecology of the Spherical Tunguska Caused by Infection with an Unknown Strain" actually received more than 1 pound of research funds, and he thought it was more practical. "Research on the Ecological Environment and Physiology of Shrimp People" only got less than half of the former.

In the end, he only got 10 pennies for the most "valuable" "Spyro Industry and Research on the Extraordinary Ecological Niche and Social Form of Subterranean Abnormal Organisms"? !

Chen Yan was speechless for a while, and then recalled, the Archives Office of the Northern Bureau did not believe that I could complete this investigation at all? !

Chen Yan thought about the other two investigations according to this idea.

The investigation of the shrimp people obviously belongs to the normal scope of functions of the North Bureau, and it is only for the investigation of "abnormal creatures", so the investigation funds are the most.

Regarding the investigation of the spherical Tunguska, although the investigation funds were only half of the former, it was obviously valuable in the eyes of the North Bureau, but it was not as much as the investigation of the shrimp people.

Chen Yan wondered whether this was because the shrimp people were "abnormal subhumans" and belonged to the type of information that the North Bureau lacked.

As for the spherical Tunguska, it was originally just an ordinary extraordinary creature, and the North Bureau must have its complete biological information, and even related ecological chain information.

It was because the spherical Tunguska was infected, and it was related to the matter that Mi Da blocked the news back then, so he applied for less than half a pound of investigation funds.

In other words, the "rare degree" and "secret degree" are the criteria for judging the amount of funds for a survey application.

These are just Chen Yan's guesses.

He still needs to follow his guessing logic and use more research project applications to verify it before he can draw the correct conclusion.

Two minutes after he finished reading the notice, the temperature in the room began to drop to the extent that he could feel it on his body surface. In the blink of an eye, the ceiling was filled with thick fog.

It is [Tongue Box].

Chen Yan didn't know why this thing was called [Tongue Box], and he didn't know how it worked, but fortunately, he had seen this before, so he didn't panic.

Thick thick fog condensed on the ceiling, fell from above Chen Yan, and stopped in front of him like a gel, "spit out" banknotes worth 1 pound 27 shillings 15 pence, and a letter bearing the badge of the Northern Bureau. Envelopes as sealant.

On the letterhead inside the envelope was just the phrase—

Seekers of Objective Truth, the world will be beautiful again because of your dedication. "

Why is the style of this sentence so similar to the head of the garden...

By the way, the director of the park is the chief investigator of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with such a high rank, he should have the power to formulate such things.

This is probably what the headmaster said.

Chen Yan casually threw the envelope aside, and took out the wallet from the inside of his clothes.

After buying the electric lantern and multimeter last time, he probably took a look in his wallet, and there were only 2 pounds 3 shillings and 75 pence left in the wallet.

在今天花费30先令107便士雇佣装修公司的施工队之后，钱包里还剩下2镑34先令62便士。

加上这1镑27先令15便士的调查资金，他的总资产就达到了4镑11先令77便士。

On the 1st of next month, that is, two weeks later, after paying more than £3 in land tax, personal tax, water and living expenses, he estimates that he still has a little more than £3 left...or maybe less than £[-].

With the remaining 3 pounds, it is no problem to maintain basic life in a short period of time.

But based on his salary of less than 3 shillings a month, next month, next month... What should I do with the expenses in the future?

If he wants to buy electrical appliances and new furniture for his home, it will be another huge expense. A multimeter can be sold for 70 pence, and he can't imagine what a refrigerator can be sold for.

What's more, he not only needs to buy furniture, but also prepares a sum of money to buy extraordinary items for the next promotion.

A completely unprocessed [Touch of the Gap] still costs 10 pounds, how much would it cost to buy a Transcendent item stronger than [Touch of the Gap]?

This is another price that Chen Yan dare not think about for the time being.

There are too many places to spend money, Chen Yan must work hard to make money.

Chen Yan divided the precious 4 pounds, 11 shillings, and 77 pence into two equal parts. One part was hidden in the pillow, and the other part was neatly folded into the wallet. Become pauper.

The sound of construction in the kitchen on the first floor sounded pleasant. Chen Yan felt that the renovation of the kitchen was worth 30 shillings and 87 pence. After all, the kitchen was used every day, and money could not be spent on such a useful place every day.

'Now that I have a new investigation project, I should be able to apply for more bullets. '

Thinking of this, he opened the APP of the combat readiness resource department.

Completely different from the Archives APP, the APP page of the Combat Readiness Resource Section looks quite rigid, with almost no room for free operation. The page is divided into several areas that are completely divided, namely:

Two types of powered bullets with a caliber of 5.56mm and 7.62mm;
Two common bullets with a caliber of 7.62mm and 14.5mm;
Energized rounds (1mm caliber) weighing 18.4 lb;
Regular bullets (4mm caliber) weighing 26.3 lbs;
（陈宴看到这里时几乎惊了，1磅基本上差不多1斤了，4磅岂不是4斤的重量？4斤重还能叫“子弹”？怕是手炮使用的炮弹吧！）
Skylark-3000 (Assault Rifle) (suitable for 7.62mm bullets);
Black Swan Type I (light machine gun) (suitable for 14.5mm bullets);
Egret 18.4 (1mm single barrel shotgun) (suitable for [-] pound bullet);

Viper III (26.3mm double-barreled shotgun) (suitable for 4lb bullets);

Tongue box [combat type] support;
Call the nearest investigator [button]

……

Chen Yan swiped the screen and found that the columns at the bottom of the APP page were all "locked", and now he couldn't see what kind of combat readiness support was in the locked columns.

Click on the window where each resource is located, and a floating "value scroll bar" will pop up on the APP. Pull the scroll bar to adjust the number of applications.

He thought for a moment, and finally applied for every combat readiness resource he could apply for.

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to try, what if you really apply?
Chen Yan estimated in his heart that according to the difficulty of the investigation project he applied for, he could only apply for a gun and some bullets at most.

After the application was submitted, he thought of another thing:

After going through last night's expedition, he discovered a serious problem with himself: he can't even hold the gun steady when shooting a pocket pistol like the Skylark-300, let alone a rifle or a machine gun. And a shotgun too.

Chen Yan thinks that he urgently needs to find a shooting club, hire a coach, and train himself.

He set a goal for himself: before going into the wilderness next time... or going underground, he must at least learn to use one kind of firearm "more proficiently".

Jack Baldo hangs out on the streets all day, and maybe he knows where such a shooting club is.

Chen Yan approached Jack Baldo, who was overseeing the kitchen on the first floor, and explained his reason for coming.

"Huh? Shooting club? What are you doing there? It's a place to lie to Kaizi. Most of the coaches are ruffians on the street. They gave themselves a bluffing nickname, so they dare to be coaches. In fact, even 3 meters None of the targets can hit the bull's-eye!"

Chen Yan couldn't understand:

"How is it possible? If the club's coaches are all like this, how can anyone still go to the shooting club to train? I heard that the business of most shooting clubs in Yanan City seems to be pretty good."

Jack Baldo says:
"There are too many people in Yanan City, and there are too many Kaizi. It's not enough to cheat. After a wave of cheating, it's okay to be scolded. Anyway, there are enough people. Even if it's just a one-time transaction, you can still make money." Money... You go to the shooting club to find a coach, why not let me teach you!"

Chen Yan couldn't help cursing, and then said:
"Are you really good? I'm not kidding! Time is tight!"

Jack Baldo scratched his head and said with a smile:
"It's fine, but we not only have to find a venue, but we also have to find a gun, and most of the time we have to hire a coach... If we just find a club, even if we pay for the card, I can't teach you on the venue. Please private tutor], it is an act of stealing people's jobs and smashing people's places, and they will have their legs broken and thrown into the sewer."

Chen Yan held back for a long time, and only cursed "grass".

Jack Baldo hesitated for a moment and said:
"I heard two days ago that there have been a lot of pirates on the road these days. They are different from the pirates who entered Yanan City to burn, kill and loot. Purchasing property is even more so to apply for legal status.”

"The Pirates do all kinds of business and just opened a shooting club down town a few days ago."

"It's very cheap to open for activities these days. You can play for 30 pence for an hour. The bullets seem to be free. This is to exchange money for reputation. God knows where the pirates get so much money."

Chen Yan said: "Is the price of 30 pence an hour very cheap?"

Jack Baldo said: "It's very cheap! In the past, there were only shooting clubs in the upper city, because guns were expensive and bullets were even more expensive. They were only things that rich businessmen and aristocrats could afford."

"I remember when I first came to Yanan City, I went to the upper city with Mr. Mogwen, and got a one-week afternoon session ticket... They only cost 10 shillings to join the membership."

At this moment, Chen Yan was almost suffocated by the two phrases of "a week's afternoon session" and "10 shillings".
