Living in North America, working from 9 to 5

Chapter 49 Is this what America counts?

Ten minutes later, the gun shop owner and his clerk brought out two cardboard boxes from the warehouse and placed them on the glass counter. The owner gasped:

"The 12 gauge bullet is too heavy..."

In fact, it’s not about how heavy the shotgun ammunition is, but that Roy wants too much. This thing is much larger than ordinary bullets, and the gun store owner filled two full cartons in the warehouse.

The clerk placed the ammunition in the cardboard boxes and their outer packaging neatly on the glass counter. 9mm Parabellum pistol bullets, 12-caliber standard bullets and single-headed bullets with dense packaging boxes were spread on the counter.

The gun shop owner wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"Sir, please check and count the quantity."

Roy counted the packaging boxes of the three types of ammunition, confirmed that they were correct, and nodded to the gun shop owner:

"no problem."

“Are you sure you want all of these?”

The gun shop owner still looked at Roy with suspicion.

"Yes."

When Roy said this, the gun shop owner took a breath and said:
"If I didn't know you were a police officer and you bought such a large amount of ammunition at one time, I would definitely think you were going to rob a bank..."

Roy was amused by what the gun shop owner said.

He smiled and asked:

"How much?"

"Let me calculate..."

As he spoke, the gun shop owner took out a calculator from under the counter.

Zero...

Add, add, add…

A meal plus...

Equal to 19560.

The gun shop owner looked up at Roy:

"That's $19560."

Roy took out four hundred-dollar bills from one of the bundles, and then pushed the rest in front of the gun store owner.

The gun store owner picked up two stacks of US dollars, unbundled them, and put them into the money counting machine.

Brushing, brushing, brushing——

The money counter works quickly.

"The total is $19600. Let me calculate it. Wait a moment..."

Roy said, "Just give me the $40 change."

Hearing this, the gun shop owner was stunned.

He entered 19600 minus 19560 on his calculator.

Press the equal key.

40 appears on the display panel.

The gun shop owner looked at Roy with astonishment:

"How do you calculate so fast?"

Roy: "..."

It's incredible.

When Roy was in school, he was fed up with American math. He went to a supermarket and paid $97 for something. Roy handed over $102. Shouldn't he just give him $5 in change? But the clerk disagreed. He pushed back $3, then had to calculate it on a calculator, and finally gave Roy a $ bill...

Roy ignored the gun store owner's strange question.

He said to the gun shop owner:
"Since I've spent so much, give me two bags."

"no problem."

The clerk immediately brought out two long black handbags. The handbags in the gun store are basically used to hold guns and ammunition.

Roy looked at the clerk and said:
"Help me divide it up and each take half."

The clerk made an "OK" gesture.

Then, Roy took out his ID, police officer ID, and gun ID from his pocket and handed them to the gun store owner.

To legally purchase a gun, you must register the relevant information.

Everything was done, and Roy left the gun store with a black handbag in each hand.

Looking at Roy's back, the gun shop owner murmured, "It's so heavy, but he looks so relaxed. Jimmy, his back looks so familiar to you."

Jimmy, the clerk, looked at Roy's back in a black leather jacket and said, "Boss, do you mean to say that his back looks a bit like T800?"

The gun shop owner nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, yes. I was wondering why it looked so familiar. It's the same leather jacket as Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2, but... it's a little thinner. If his body width and muscles were a little wider, he would look exactly like him..."

Outside the gun store.

Roy kicked open the trunk.

Throw two packs of weapons and ammunition directly in.

After closing the trunk door, Roy checked the time. It was 15:30 in the afternoon, just in time, so he drove to a nearby supermarket. Jonathan refused to be hospitalized after being injured. He wanted to spend more time with his wife and daughter during his vacation, so he left the hospital and returned home the next day.

As a "disciple" brought up by Jonathan, Roy must go to visit Jonathan when he is injured.

It just so happened that I hadn't visited Susan and Lina for a while.

Roy bought a lot of things that Jonathan's daughter Lina liked in the supermarket, including chocolate, donuts, potato chips, and some toys that girls liked, such as Barbie dolls.

It was getting dark when we drove to Jonathan's house.

Roy was standing outside the yard with a lot of things in his bag, shouting:

"Lina, it's me, here to help!"

Hearing someone calling her outside, Lina, who was on the second floor of the villa, opened the curtains, looked out, and saw Uncle Roy's figure.

Lina, who is only 10 years old, has blonde hair and blue eyes, delicate features, and a pair of big round eyes that are very cute. She is of typical Anglo-Saxon descent.

She stuck her head out and shouted to Roy:
"Uncle!!"

Jonathan's wife Susan also heard Roy's shouting.

She took little Lina out of the villa.

Lina rushed directly to Roy, opened the mortise lock, and threw herself into Roy's arms.

Jonathan appeared behind Susan, raised his good arm, and waved hello to Roy.

Seeing Roy holding things in both hands, Susan quickly stepped forward and took a bag.

Roy took out a Barbie doll from one of the bags:
"Give it to you!"

"Thank you Uncle Roy!"

Roy rubbed Lina's little head.

Susan complained:

"Why didn't you call ahead? Look, I haven't prepared anything."

"It's okay, I just came to see you."

"come on in!"

Roy followed Susan into the yard.

Jonathan's home is a standard American-style single-family wooden two-story villa with a small yard in front and back.

Every time Roy came to Jonathan's house, Susan would prepare a sumptuous meal for him. This time was no exception. Susan went straight into the kitchen, while Roy took little Lina to play in the backyard and Jonathan sat on a chair and watched.

While the two of them were playing, Lina produced a gift from behind her:
"Uncle, I'll give you a gift too."

Roy looked closely and saw that what Lina was holding in her hand was a colorful mushroom with brilliant colors.

Roy: "..."

This……

That's right, poisonous mushrooms.

He quickly took the poisonous mushroom and said to Lina:

"This thing is poisonous. Where did you get it?"

Lina pointed to a corner of the fence: "There!"

Roy immediately searched the yard and did not find any other poisonous mushrooms, so he felt relieved. He reminded Jonathan to keep an eye on the children.

Roy accepted the poisonous mushroom. Although it was poisonous to others, it was a good thing for Roy.

During dinner, Roy apologized to Susan.

Susan said nonchalantly: "It's only right that he should be hurt for you."

After saying this, Susan glanced at Jonathan.

Jonathan smiled and shook his head helplessly.

The whole family, including Roy, had dinner happily...

Late at night, after Roy coaxed little Lina to sleep, he said goodbye to Jonathan and Susan and drove back to Lance Apartment alone.

Park your car in the underground parking lot of Reims Apartments.

Roy pulled out a bag of weapons from the trunk.

Another black bag containing spray guns was left in the car by Roy. He kept a spray gun at home and a spray gun in his private car so that he would feel safe.

Take the elevator to the fifth floor.

Roy held the black weapons bag in one hand and took out the portkey with the other.

Arrived at the door of his apartment.

Roy checked the pencil lead stuck in the hinged door.

broken?

There is someone in the house...
