Cosmic Demon

Chapter 130: Get Equipment, Cultivation Furnace

Bloody conflict?

Qin Shi nodded, but didn't find it strange.

No matter the old era or the new generation.

When a martial artist becomes famous and establishes his own school, it is inevitable that there will be disputes, quarrels, and fights.

If you encounter a master with a hot temper, it is indeed easy for accidents to happen.

Otherwise, the Dongxia Republic would not have been in a hurry to establish a martial arts association, invite a few marshals to take charge of the overall situation, and integrate and recruit this group of tyrannical figures who like to use force to enforce the law.

"If you move up from the professional level, you can be called a Grandmaster. A Grandmaster who has established a dojo and has tens of thousands of disciples has a huge influence. If they make enemies and form grudges, the grudges will accumulate from generation to generation and will never end."

Chen Yun read several important files and understood some of the inside story.

"Before the Wushu Association was established, it was not uncommon for masters to seek revenge and bring disaster to the entire family. If we want to establish a new order, stability must be above all else, and the Wushu Association came into being."

Qin Shi sucked the juice and blew the cool air. The slightly sweet and sour taste made him feel happy.

He has a temporary certificate and some law enforcement powers.

I'm looking forward to trouble coming my way so I can practice my skills.

Besides, Lao Liang, Lao Chen and Lao Ren are three big players supporting us from behind.

No matter how big a dragon or a mountain eagle comes running over, they have to lie down quietly and coiled up.

"Let's go. I'll take you to get the equipment. All the things for the Inspection Department are purchased from Santan Heavy Industry. They are all top-quality products. It's much more cost-effective than buying them through other channels."

Chen Yun took the coffee, took the elevator downstairs and headed across.

Compared with the Inspection Department's brightness and transparency, it is solemn and majestic.

The equipment department is in a very standard brutalist style, giving people a heavy and solid industrial beauty.

"Xiao Qin, let me tell you, the Equipment Department is extremely wealthy. It is the place with the largest budget and the most frequent purchases besides the General Affairs Department."

Chen Yun strode forward with her short hair flying in the wind, looking heroic. As a prominent figure in the Inspection Department, she had outstanding looks, had made great contributions, and had a background and connections that were stronger than alloy. She could get through without any obstacles just by using her face.

Qin Shi followed behind him and became the focus of attention, inexplicably feeling like a pretty boy.

The two of them quickly went down to the second underground floor, where they went through multiple identity verification steps to identify their irises, fingerprints, and life force fluctuations.

The last item is mainly aimed at the mental control of psychic criminals to prevent patrol personnel from accidentally falling into the trap and causing huge losses.

"Inspector Chen is here! Old Tan greeted me!"

Old Huang from the Equipment Department was in his early forties, with a noticeable belly. He carried a thermos cup with him and said with a friendly smile:

"This guy's temporary certificate is the third level. Apart from hot weapons, he can pick any other protective gear."

Old Huang unlocked the several-meter-thick metal round door and pushed it open with great effort. Inside was a very spacious space with several sturdy shelves lined up against the four walls.

There are piles of black boxes on top, with careful classification labels on them.

"Level 1 stab-proof clothing is very thin, light, strong, and wear-resistant. It can also block stabbing and slashing from knives, and is immune to damage from explosion fragments."

Old Huang introduced Qin Shi like a shopping guide:
“But the most important value is that it has the lotus emblem of the Three Altars Heavy Industry painted on its inside, which can effectively alleviate some external invasions, such as mental hypnosis.

It’s standard for security companies. If you want to get the goods, you have to pay at least 30,000 yuan.”

Old Huang skillfully opened the black box at the bottom, took out the stab-proof suit that looked like a shirt, and handed it to Qin Shi.

The latter took a quick glance and saw the lotus emblem of Santan Heavy Industry on the collar and cuffs.

The roots are in the water, the green leaves hang down to the ground, and the petals are across the sky.

It represents the meaning of crossing the three realms and dominating the land, sea and air.

"Give me one!"

Chen Yun waved her hand, like a rich woman who was willing to spend money on shopping, and immediately made the decision to buy it.

"This is a level three bulletproof vest. According to your ID, you can only use a level two vest. However, Lao Tan will guarantee you, and with the respect of Inspector Chen, we can make an exception in principle."

Lao Huang chose his words very carefully, and it was obvious that he was a slick person.

"The third-level bulletproof vest is a single-soldier equipment. It has a layer of alloy steel embedded inside, combined with biological materials to form a composite protective structure that can absorb extremely strong kinetic energy.

The specification reaches level three. As long as the head and feet are covered, it is not afraid of frontal machine gun fire. It is essential for saving lives at critical moments.

It is said that the highest level of bulletproof vests is level 6, and the main material is ceramic steel, which is the favorite material of the power armor of the war group, and it can block anti-aircraft artillery. "

Chen Yun explained.

Her father Chen Ruofu climbed to the top position, so he was qualified to wear a level 5 bulletproof vest.

It’s all good equipment!

Qin Shi's eyes lit up as he watched. The stab-proof suit looked like a neatly ironed shirt, and combined with a bulletproof vest similar to a coat and vest, the two pieces were layered inside and outside, and the safety was maximized.

Unless you get a headshot from a sniper rifle a thousand meters away, your life will be in no danger.

“There are so many good things in the Equipment Department.”

Qin Shi's eyes changed when he looked at Lao Huang, as if he was facing an NPC in a mall and wanted to rob him clean.

After he picked out the stab-proof suit and bulletproof vest, he asked:
"Brother Huang, do you have any weapons that are suitable for you?"

Old Huang felt embarrassed and shook his head:
"Kinetic weapons and charged weapons require a legal license to carry weapons. Young man, you don't have the qualifications."

Qin Shi felt regretful and wondered whether he should establish a good relationship with Lao Ren and try to learn the true teachings of Nanhuang Taoist Temple.

However, even the dojo forces certified by the Martial Arts Association only have two permits to carry weapons and armor.

One belongs to the owner and the other to the successor.

No matter how I look at it, it’s never my turn!

Qin Shi packed the stab-proof suits and bullet-proof vests into new boxes, carried them in both hands, and left the warehouse with satisfaction.

"Brother Huang, what's stored over there?" The warehouse on the underground second floor is very large. There is a corridor where several people can walk side by side, and there are several rooms sealed with round metal doors.

Qin Shi turned his head and looked to the end, as if sensing a radar, and captured an extremely subtle yet extremely surging energy fluctuation.

"That's the 'Hyōgo', where the charged weapons are stored. If you are willing to join the Operations Division, you will naturally have a weapons permit. Not to mention swords, you can even carry guns."

Old Huang said with a smile.

"The Operations Department... it's fine as a non-staff position, but if it's a formal position, there are too many rules."

Qin Shi resisted subconsciously. Like most of the old martial arts schools, he didn't like being constrained.

Thoughts flashed, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and the mist-like mental power spread unconsciously, but soon retracted.

The Equipment Department had obviously considered the possibility of psychic spying and had specially arranged countermeasures.

The mind in the space of the negative second floor is suppressed and severely weakened.

"If you want to get a weapons license and try to make a few more great achievements, there is still a chance."

Chen Yun smiled and said:

"Minister Chen is preparing for Operation Sharpening the Sword to further clean up illegal areas in the outer urban areas of Tai'an."

When she was working, she always performed her duties properly and abided by the rules of the system.

"Operation Sharpening the Sword?"

Qin Shi was a little curious, but since the occasion was not right, he did not ask further questions.

……

……

After leaving the Inspection Department, Qin Shi got into a taxi carrying two long black boxes, thinking that he should buy a car.

It's very inconvenient to run back and forth between the Old Factory Street and the urban circle all day long without a car.

Back at the talent apartment, Qin Shi continued to exercise as usual and digested one-third of today's mineral intake.

Then, select [Muscle Memory] to imitate the previous movements. The body will feel like it is burning, and the breath will gradually become boiling and hot.

Two hours later, the seed of life was full again, and it fed back strands of surging energy, nourishing every inch of flesh and blood.

"Once we finish drinking this bottle of mineral essence, it will probably be around forty-seven."

Qin Shi took a deep breath, and his blood and flesh filled his body with vitality, emitting a refreshing air.

He deeply realized how easy and comfortable it was to practice with sufficient resources.

This is just the treatment for talented young people in Tai'an.

If it was the top martial arts star in Hengzhou, or someone at the level of Imperial Capital Haizhou, the resources poured into them would be terrifying.

"As long as I become strong enough, the whole world will make way for me... Qi Wuxiang's famous saying will never go out of date."

Qin Shi finished cleaning, dried his hair, and ran to Jiuchang Street again.

He has completed his study of the "Inner and Outer Power Qigong" and it is time for him to move on to the next stage of practice.

……

……

Walking to the open space where the gym was being built, Qin Shi keenly discovered that the construction team with the "Yu Hai Urban Construction" logo was missing.

He thought about it for a moment and realized that this was done by Old Ren. Nanhuang Taoist Temple was an old martial arts force that dominated Hengzhou. Its influence and prestige might not be as great as before, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, enough to gain respect from the Tai'an Education Commission and the Inspection Department.

"The world is making way for me, at least Tai'an is."

Qin Shi sighed. He had never mentioned the grudge between himself and the Qin family, nor did he express any unhappiness. However, after Ren You noticed it, he directly cancelled the cooperation with Yuhai Urban Construction and kicked it out.

"No wonder everyone wants to be in power and be the center of attention. It's not pleasant to be cautious and watch what others say, but it's wonderful to be served attentively and meticulously."

Qin Shi stepped into the Nanhuang Taoist Temple next door. As soon as he crossed the threshold, his spirit began to fluctuate slightly.

That active consciousness, Xuanming, seemed like an invisible existence, quietly touching him.

It's like scanning to confirm identity.

The next moment, Qin Shi heard a mellow and gentle male voice:

"Hello, Qin, I'm Xuanming from Nanhuang Dojo, and I'm happy to serve you.

There is a pair of Bluetooth headphones on the table in the main hall, you can use it to communicate with me. "

Qin Shi looked at the speaker in the corner of the eaves. The active consciousness was speaking through this device.

He walked to the main hall, picked up the brand new Bluetooth headset, and put it on as Xuanming instructed.

"Where's Mr. Ren? Isn't he here?"

Xuanming said:

"Ren Zhenchuan, I just went out. I will help you complete your teaching assignments today."

Qin Shi nodded. It was his first time dealing with this kind of electronic consciousness and he felt it was quite novel.

"How are you going to teach me?"

Xuanming led the way for him, and one cursor arrow after another was projected, bringing Qin Shi to the empty room where he took the last test.

"Please master the 'Self-cultivation Furnace' of the Nanhuang Dojo within 20 minutes, and then start the challenge..."

The light flickered, the particles flowed, and slowly condensed into the image of a young man with long black hair draped over his shoulders and a sturdy and extremely strong body.

The other party's eyes were arrogant and domineering, exuding a defiant attitude of "Everyone else is a loser, if you don't accept it, come and fight me."
