Please pull the trigger for this world one more time.

"sure."

The hamster nodded in agreement immediately, then asked, "What's up?"

"Today is the 45th of Frost Month. Our school starts winter break on the 160th of Frost Month." Mo Zian licked his lips. "I'm planning to have the factory at home make a few handguns. Could you help me make a connection?"

"no problem."

Han Dafu readily agreed, then she seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "By the way, when it comes to pistols, most of the female soldiers in our unit are complaining about the size of the [Martial Attendant]."

Everyone in the squadron knows you're an expert in this area; your mentor was the designer of the [Martial Attendant]. Shuofeng, could you make smaller weapons, military-grade ones?

"As long as it's purchased by military personnel, there's no need to consider civilian armed forces restrictions, and my family is also qualified to supply military personnel."

Mo Zian said seriously, "I have actually noticed this problem. It is very uncomfortable to use female soldiers [Martial Attendants]. Take you as an example, your height is small in the training squadron, but outside, you are just the height of an average woman."

So most of the female soldiers in the army are probably in the same situation as you... Dafu, I hope you can stay in Guangwu City during winter break.

"Me? Stay in Guangwu City?" Han Dafu asked blankly.

"yes."

Mo Zian smiled and sat down next to Han Dafu. "Look, you can stay and be my test shooter, isn't that great?"

I'll design the project you proposed, and I'll even have one custom-made for you—a silencer, specifically for whistling.

"You designed it?" Han Dafu asked, his eyes sparkling.

"Yeah, don't you trust me?"

"That's not possible."

Mo Zian seized the opportunity to grasp Han Dafu's hand, "Why don't you stay here for the New Year? My two childhood friends found out they're coming too, so let's play mahjong together and have some fun."

While Han Dafu hesitated, Mo Zian swiftly pounced on his cheek and bit him.

"Oh dear, didn't we already agree to be mindful of your image while wearing uniform? If the military police on patrol see you, aren't you afraid of getting punished...?"

But I have to go back home during the holiday, I... I absolutely have to go back and see them.

"Of course, I can go with you then."

"Okay! It's settled then!"

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, Han Dafu, who had nothing else to do, decided to go back to his dormitory first, while Mo Zian planned to go home.

Mo Zian flagged down a horse-drawn carriage and headed straight for Shuofeng Store.

"Ring ring..."

"Master's wife, I'm back."

The doorbell rang, and as soon as Mo Zian opened the shop door, he saw his master's wife, Fengye, behind the counter, along with a small head with a pigtail sticking up in the air.

"Brother's back!"

Gui Haiye rushed to Mo Zian's side, while Fengye's usually expressionless face softened with a gentle smile: "You're back. Taking a day off today?"

"Yes, Madam. Basic training for recruits is over for today. We have a day off this afternoon."

Mo Zian patted Gui Haiye's head and handed her a bottle of pre-packaged soda.

While the little one sat happily drinking soda beside him, Mo Zian took out several small glass jars from his backpack—

The glass jar contained poison sacs soaked in a certain solution.

Mo Zian handed the glass jar to Maple Leaf, "We just went on a mission a few days ago. This is a kind of poisonous insect that we encountered. I've never seen it before. The people in our group collected a few of the venom sacs, and I took a few."

"That's very thoughtful."

Maple Leaf's face showed a hint of great interest as she took the glass jar and examined it carefully. However, after a few breaths, her expression suddenly turned serious.

"Does this insect look somewhat like a hornless rhinoceros beetle, with two large pincers, purplish-red in color, and about the size of a washbasin?"

Mo Zian was taken aback. "Yes."

Maple Leaf's brows furrowed visibly, a hint of worry in her voice: "Aren't you students? What mission are you on?"

"I'm sorry, this is classified information, Master's wife." Mo Zian shrugged. "We are students, but we are also soldiers. There are very few enlightened beings in our Guangwu sect."

"wait for me."

Maple Leaf frowned even more deeply, then stood up and went into the inner room.

About fifteen minutes later, Maple Leaf handed a sturdy little porcelain bottle to Mo Zi'an.

"【Ulcer】, this kind of insect is one of the main ingredients, you can take it."

"Ulcer?!"

Mo Zian was taken aback. He had heard of it; it was an extremely potent poison in this world. Just how potent?

This stuff can even be used directly externally. Just one or two drops on the skin of the arm will cause the arm to ulcerate and die within a few breaths.

This poison is extremely rare, so rare that the number that can be obtained across the entire continent is estimated to be no more than a handful.

Mo Zian didn't feel any lingering fear; he just felt like he had missed out on a fortune—he couldn't possibly go back again for a few bugs.

Mo Zian readily accepted the small bottle: "Thank you, Master's wife."

Maple Leaf nodded: "Yeah, are we eating at home?"

"No, the military academy dormitory has a curfew of 10:00 PM, and I still need to go to the eastern suburbs to find my master."

"Okay, go quickly."

After bidding farewell to his teacher's wife, Mo Zian hailed a carriage.

"Where are you going, sir?"

"Eastern suburbs, old car factory, please hurry up."

"Alright, let's go!"

……

Guangwu East Suburbs.

The setting sun cast a warm glow on the tall gray brick wall. Mo Zian stepped down from the carriage and looked at the brand-new black iron gate.

Next to the gate is a pillar with a vertical plaque that reads "United Eight Directions Precision Weaponry Machinery Manufacturing Plant".

Mo Zian pushed open the gate. The factory area was very noisy, with many workers busy with decoration and moving inside and out. Not far away, there was a temporary shed with many boxes stacked underneath.

Having found the building's main entrance, and then located the staircase based on the layout, Mo Zian looked around the factory interior as he walked up the stairs.

Halfway down the stairs, a strange man carrying a briefcase and dressed in a civil servant uniform came down and met Mo Zian.

The man was taken aback at first, then smiled and nodded kindly at Mo Zian. Mo Zian saluted, and the two passed each other.

Mo Zian arrived on the third floor and pushed open the door to the last office. Gui Haishuo was chatting with Hengshu.

After exchanging greetings, Hengshu said with a smile, "Zian, you're something else! I noticed you a while ago. You didn't wander off at all once you entered the factory. Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd been here before. Looks like you've improved quite a bit in a while."

Mo Zian smiled and said, "I could sense your and Master's ethereal aura even before we entered the gate. They were like two blazing suns, so it's not easy to take a detour."

"Haha, still saying you haven't improved? This technique of concealing your presence is new to you, isn't it?" the elf Hengshu teased. "Using your own factory as an enemy base?"

"No," Mo Zian explained with a smile, "It's what our instructors require. It's always like this, and we've gotten used to it these past few days."

Hengshu said in an unusually light tone, "Speaking of instructors, your instructor named Shen Yi just came by this afternoon."

Mo Zian was taken aback and looked at Gui Haishuo. Gui Haishuo first laughed and scolded Hengshuo, "You can't keep anything to yourself."

"I'm so happy! Guihai, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

Gui Haishuo then turned to Mo Zian and said, "That's right, Major Shen Yi just came by. Do you remember those two-wheeled motorcycles that your Aunt Yu made before? The deal is done."

Mo Zian's face lit up with joy, and he said, "That's great news!"

"Of course." Hengshu leaned back on the sofa. "If you ask me, Zian, you deserve a lot of credit for this. The Southeast Army Group is very lucrative, so here's a small reward for you."

"The reward? Could it be?" Mo Zian's expression showed surprise and delight.

Gui Haishuo stood up. "Perfect timing. I'll take you to see it. It's parked in the factory garage. It was custom-made for you."

Custom-made motorcycles!

One of the romantic things men do.

Mo Zian seemed a little impatient. "Uncle Hengshu, I'll go down and take a look first."

"Go on, go on." Hengshu waved his hand, his feet already propped up on the coffee table without any regard for appearances, and he closed his eyes and hummed a tune with an elfin style.

"Little sister..."

But for some reason, the lyrics were in the local opera style of Guangwu City.

After Mo Zian followed Gui Haishuo out of the office, he casually closed the door behind him.

"Come on, Zian, I'll show you around the factory."

The master and apprentice walked through the stairwell to the factory area on the ground floor.

"These are the machines that process large parts; the finishing and small parts are all on the second floor," Gui Haishuo explained.

Mo Zian patted a machine tool in front of him that was at least 70% new, and suddenly said, "Master, I saw the letter you gave me a few days ago."

I still feel that taking 15% of the shares is too much. I'm just a junior employee, and I'm practically getting these shares for free; I haven't contributed anything."

Mo Zian took off his peaked cap and looked at the dragon emblem on it. "Besides, I'm also a soldier, and I'll probably wear this uniform for the rest of my life."

"Is it too much? Perhaps it is," Gui Haishuo said calmly. "It may seem too much to others, even to you, but to me, it is just right."

Mo Zian was silent for a moment, then said earnestly, "Please enlighten me, Master."

"For the person you were back then, it was indeed a lot, because back then you were just an apprentice and a mid-level martial arts apprentice, with no status and no skills to show for yourself, just a little kid."

Consider this a reward for your outstanding contribution.

Without your mediation, that young Marshal Shen wouldn't have been able to establish a partnership with us so smoothly. Moreover, you successfully persuaded Jiang Lüde to meet with your master. After he invested, this factory has since gained a royal background.

He was a master of weapons design, and his technical skills were further enhanced.

Gui Haishuo took two steps forward and patted Mo Zian on the shoulder. "You are still a bit lacking for the future you. You are a top student from the capital's military academy. Don't deny that you are also an excellent weapons designer and gunsmith now."

"I can't see your potential, so consider it my investment in you. Ultimately, it's just a matter of us, master and disciple, splitting the costs equally. There's no need to take it too seriously."

Mo Zian said earnestly, "I understand, thank you, Master."

"You little brat, don't be so formal with me. Just don't steal my meat at the dinner table." Gui Haishuo lightly kicked Mo Zian's butt, then said mysteriously, "You already have a plan, don't you?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Mo Zian shrugged, then pulled out several blueprints from his backpack: "Master, take a look, what do you think?"

Gui Haishuo took the blueprints and glanced at them quickly: "Hmm, these are all very mature designs, but... this positioning is quite interesting."
