Please pull the trigger for this world one more time.

That evening, an Ether vehicle with military license plates passed through the north gate of Guangwu City and entered the city.

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Jiang Xing looked at Shen Yi, who was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat, and said, "Mo Zian actually offered to have his family help..."

"Old Bi is a shrewd and clever man. I don't sense much of a new recruit in him. He's more like a seasoned veteran who has been in the army for many years."

Shen Yi opened his eyes and said, "I'll bet you a drink. That kid saw through our intentions from the start."

"Yes, it's not hard to guess."

Jiang Xing nodded somewhat helplessly, "The sniper team was expanded on our own initiative, so how could we not prepare weapons in advance..."

But the outcome is always good; we've successfully made contact with Shuofeng, who is the designer of the [Martial Attendant] set. Perhaps our gap in our defenses can finally be filled.

"Don't be too optimistic either."

Shen Yi shook his head. "To put it another way, it's all for nothing if we can't agree on a price. Besides, the other party is a private business, so it's hard to say what their actual capabilities are."

It was past lunchtime, and the streets were bustling with pedestrians. The prosperous night view of Guangwu City always gave people a sense of intoxication, as if they were immersed in a prosperous era.

Watching the shops slowly recede into the distance, Jiang Xing suddenly turned around and asked, "Young Marshal, should we take some gifts with us?"

Shen Yi thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, but what should we bring?"

"Bring some pastries."

Jiang Xing said, "I asked around among the students who are familiar with the capital beforehand, and I heard that there is a very famous pastry shop here. Since we are on the way, it is definitely a good idea to buy some sesame oil pastries as souvenirs."

"it is good."

......

Shortly after, the EtherCar appeared at the north intersection of Zhirui South Street.

"According to the address Mo Zian gave us, we should be arriving soon," Jiang Xing said, glancing out the car window.

"Old Jiang, did you feel it?" Shen Yi stiffly straightened up from his seat and said with a serious expression.

"Young Marshal, what do you sense?"

"A terrifying aura... My goodness, who is this person? Is there such a powerful expert in Guangwu City?"

As the Ether Cart drew closer to the address of Shuofeng Weapon Shop, Shen Yin could clearly feel himself getting closer and closer to that terrifying aura.

At this moment, Jiang Xing finally sensed that aura.

Not long after, the car stopped in front of a shop. The shop looked rather ordinary from the outside, even a little inconspicuous.

The only striking features were the large, gold-plated characters on the signboard and the provocative couplet.

Jiang Xing and Shen Yi got out of the car, stood in front of the shop, and looked up at the words on the signboard.

"Shuofeng Armory... this should be it."

The two confirmed that this was their destination, but neither of them immediately stepped inside.

Because both of them clearly sensed that the terrifying aura was coincidentally inside the door.

Shen Yi was alright, but Jiang Xing, who only had the strength of a high-level martial apprentice, even felt a noticeable sense of suffocation when facing this terrifying aura at close range.

Jiang Xing swallowed hard and looked at Shen Yi beside him.

Shen Yichao nodded to Jiang Xing, quickly tidied his military appearance, let out a long breath, and took the lead, striding forward to push open the shop door.

"Ring ring..."

As the doorbell rang, the first thing that caught their eyes was a room full of various weapons, including all kinds of ether guns, and even the gunpowder guns commonly used by the Chenhuan people.

Behind the counter stood a woman with an expressionless face, and next to her was a small head with a pigtail sticking up.

Seeing the two people outside finally enter the store, the woman slightly raised her eyelids and said in a cool tone, "Welcome, feel free to look around."

After saying that, he left the two of them to the side and continued to stare at the little head next to him.

"Write quickly."

"Mom..." the little one beside her said with a mournful face, "The homework the teacher assigned was too hard!"

"Write it quickly!"

The terrifying aura suddenly intensified. "No rest until you finish practicing this piece of calligraphy!"

The two people standing at the door opened their mouths, but dared not utter another word.

At that moment, a figure emerged from the inner room's workshop; it was Gui Haishuo.

"These two must be the people my Zi'an was referring to. My wife has a cold demeanor and has offended me greatly."

As a gentle voice rang out, the terrifying aura suddenly decreased by five or six points, and the two felt the pressure on their bodies ease.

Gui Haishuo clasped his hands in greeting to the two men, saying, "I am Gui Haishuo. I apologize for not greeting you sooner."

The two men quickly saluted, and Shen Yi respectfully said, "Greetings, you must be Master Gui Haishuo. I am Shen Yi, and this gentleman beside me is Jiang Xing. We apologize for our unauthorized visit."

"Major Shen, you're too kind. Please, both of you, move upstairs to the second floor for a chat."

The two followed Gui Haishuo upstairs, only to be followed by a little girl running up behind them.

"Ye'er, what are you doing up here?" Gui Haishuo asked.

"Dad, I'll make tea for the guests!"

Despite being only a few years old, Gui Haiye was quite efficient, and soon served three cups of fragrant tea.

Jiang Xing beckoned to Gui Haiye, "Come here, young lady, your brother mentioned you to me, so we brought you this gift especially."

Gui Haiye's eyes lit up as she accepted the four oil paper packages tied together with thin straw rope and looked at Gui Haishuo.

"Hurry up and thank these two guests. They've gone to great lengths to spend money."

Gui Haiye turned to look at Jiang Xing and Shen Yi, smiling sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle! Thank you, Uncle!"

"Oh dear, I don't deserve to be called 'uncle,' I just look older than you are," Jiang Xing quickly waved his hand. "I'm glad you like it. We're just giving this gift on behalf of your brother."

Gui Haishuo smiled and waved to Gui Haiye: "Alright, Ye'er, I have some important matters to discuss with our two guests. You can go downstairs now."

"oh!"

Watching Gui Haiye run downstairs, Jiang Xing said, "Your daughter is so well-behaved and adorable, it's truly enviable."

"Please excuse my behavior, esteemed guests. I am usually quite spoiled and have no manners."

Gui Haishuo picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "I have learned the general reason for your visit today from Zi'an, but I have a question. Could you please enlighten me?"

Shen Yi and Jiang Xing exchanged a glance before Shen Yi said, "Master Guihai, are you perhaps wondering why we, as soldiers, have to purchase weapons from abroad?"

"Exactly."

Shen Yi sighed slightly and said, "Because of our positions, there are many things we can't say, but there are some things that our needs are indeed very urgent..."

Gui Haishuo extended a hand, interrupting Shen Yi, "I already understand Major Shen's meaning; it's simply a matter of too many monks and too few porridges. I am but a commoner, merely making wild guesses; you two need not take offense."

Shen Yi gave Gui Haishuo a grateful look, then said with a slightly serious expression, "Master Gui Hai, I personally have great faith in Shuo Feng's water-making skills, but on behalf of the Southeast Army Group, I would like to confirm with you one last time—"

Does Shuofeng have the capability to provide high-precision sniper rifles? Please forgive any offense caused.

Upon hearing this, Gui Haishuo sat up slightly and solemnly replied, "I promise that Shuofeng is fully capable of producing high-precision sniper rifles that meet military standards. Moreover, Shuofeng has already registered with the Military Affairs Department, and we are qualified to supply military equipment. Major, please take a look at this."

After glancing at the qualification certificate handed over by the other party, Shen Yi's last trace of doubt vanished, and all that remained was the issue of price.

Gui Haishuo observed the expressions of the two people opposite him and spoke up at the right time: "If you two have any requirements for weapons, you can all make them known."

I can provide a set of blueprints first. If we simply copy [736-Modified], on the one hand, it won't be presentable by Shuofeng, and on the other hand, it might cause us some unnecessary trouble, since the authorization for [736-Modified] hasn't been delegated.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi tentatively asked, "Regarding the price for custom-made improvements..."

Gui Haishuo smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm sure you two have inquired about Shuofeng. Although our products are not cheap, they are always fair, and there have never been any negative reviews regarding their quality or performance."
