Chapter 108 How much does the Advanced Armor-Piercing Arrow cost? (26 Subscription Requested)

At the top of the stairs, Chen Fan was sweating profusely, a chill rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He kept wondering why the other person remained unmoved even though they had clearly seen him.

Could it be that in this treacherous end times, there are really quite a few people just like my father?

As it turns out, I was overthinking it.

The other party didn't chase after us not out of kindness, but because they were plotting something bigger.

Imagine what terrible consequences would occur if these people broke into the village tonight.

Although with him and Zhang Ren around, they would most likely be able to kill the enemy in the end, many people in the village would also die.

After all, without medication, an ordinary person shot, even if they don't die on the spot, won't live long.

Just when things were starting to look up and everyone was full of hope for the future, these few people suddenly appeared and shattered it all.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan clenched his fists, his chest burning with rage. He had an impulse to rush in and slaughter these people.

But doing so is clearly unwise.

Since these people already knew their own strength, they still dared to do this, which clearly shows that they were somewhat confident in their abilities.

It's possible that it's at the third level of Body Tempering, or even the Flesh Refining Realm.

My basic marksmanship is high, but firstly, the enemy has more people, and secondly, the terrain is narrow. If a fight really breaks out, someone will definitely jump out of the door or window to notify the guards in the fortress. At that time, I might be able to get out of this building, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this fortress.

Moreover, he is more skilled in archery than in close combat.

If there are more than twenty people equipped with sniper rifles and heavy machine guns, then he really has to avoid their sharp edge for the time being.

Even with just a few people and a sniper rifle, he was confident that he could use the distance to dodge the bullets and kill them.

Of course, there are two basic conditions for doing this.

First, we need to replace it with a more powerful bow that has a longer range.

Secondly, you need to increase your agility attribute as much as possible.

The conversation inside the room continued, occasionally punctuated by bursts of laughter.

Chen Fan held his breath, tiptoed, and turned to go downstairs.

Listening any further would be pointless, and there's even a risk of being discovered, which would be counterproductive.

After going downstairs and walking into the alley, Chen Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Out of caution, he didn't even glance back.

"Today was worthwhile."

A faint smile appeared on his face.

Fear stems from the unknown. Many dangerous things are not so scary once you truly understand them.

"First, I'll buy a bow and some blood rice to take back. Uncle Zhang's wooden stakes should be finished by now. When I get back, I'll practice footwork and try to unlock my movement technique. Even if I don't have time to complete the lightness skill of walking on water, increasing my agility attribute is still an improvement."

He walked to the weapons shop, where a well-dressed woman approached with a smile, but it wasn't the same woman from last time.

Fortunately, it's not important.

He revealed his purpose, and instantly, the woman's eyes widened and her body trembled.

A bow with a draw weight of 500 jin? Two thousand yuan!

This is a big customer!

She quickly led Chen Fan inside, took down a longbow taller than a person from the wall with some difficulty, and handed it to him.

Chen Fan took the longbow with one hand and examined it.

The bow, as black as ink, is engraved with ancient patterns, giving it a touch of mystery. The bowstring is taut and almost twice the thickness of the 300 bow in the village.

"Boss, this bow is made of alloy, so it's absolutely sturdy. The bowstring is made of metal and fiber materials, so it's very resilient. If there are any problems after you buy it, we'll compensate you."

"Oh, and if you buy it now, we'll throw in ten extra arrows for you."

The woman said with a smile.

This bow, with a draw weight of 500 jin, has been hanging here for almost a year. Many people have come to see it, but in the end, they just look at it without being able to draw it or afford to buy it.

The warriors in the fortress were used to using firearms and archery, but those were much harder and more strenuous to learn.

"Ten arrows?"

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment.

"Forehead……"

The woman stammered, "If you feel that's not enough, I can give you ten more. That's the most I can do."

Chen Fan nodded, then asked knowingly, "How much does this bow cost?"

"two thousand."

The woman, worried that Chen Fan might find it too expensive, explained, "Boss, this bow usually sells for 2200 or 2300. You've come just in time for a promotion, so you can buy it for 2000. If you miss this opportunity, the price will go back to normal next time."

"Yeah?"

Chen Fan found it amusing.

Even if that woman surnamed Zhu hadn't said anything last time, he still wouldn't have believed what this woman in front of him was saying.

Where can you find an honest person to do business? Can an honest person even do business?

"Do you have any bows with even heavier draw weights in your shop?"

He asked casually.

Zhao Da of Zhao Family Fortress is said to be able to draw a 500-jin bow. After so much time has passed, his strength may have increased even further.

With just this bow, I'm not confident I can defeat him.

The woman was startled and stared blankly at Chen Fan. She shook her head first, then said, "We don't have any in the shop right now, but if you're willing to spend money to pre-order, we can get you a powerful bow with a draw weight of over a thousand kilograms, comparable in power to a ballista. It just will take some time."

"Let me think about it some more."

Chen Fan nodded.

This group of people most likely sourced their goods from Anshan City, which is over a hundred miles away, and then sold them to him for a little extra.

In that case, he might as well go and buy it himself.

Now that I have a mount, I can get everything done in less than half a day.

"Okay, sure."

The woman glanced at the bow in Chen Fan's hand and licked her lips.

It doesn't matter to the boss in front of me whether he pays a deposit for a better bow, as long as he buys this one.

"If I buy two, could you throw in one or two armor-piercing arrows for me?"

Chen Fan thought for a moment and then asked.

The last time he came, the longbow cost two thousand yuan, which was astonishing.

Now, even two of them would only cost 4000 yuan, but he has more than 10,000 yuan on him.

As for why he bought two, it was naturally because of his relationship with Zhang Ren.

"Two, two?"

The woman was speechless.

People around looked over in shock upon hearing this.

Who exactly is this person? How can he be so wealthy and powerful?

However, the person who can buy a 500-pound strong bow must be a force to be reckoned with.

Many people nip any wicked thoughts that just arise in their minds in the bud.

"Hmm, two."

Chen Fan gazed at her, his tone indifferent.

"Sir, the armor-piercing arrows are indeed quite precious. I... I cannot make the decision myself. However, I can inform the manager. Could you please wait here for a moment?"

The woman was so excited that she could hardly speak.

Four thousand yuan! She can get at least four hundred yuan in commission. Four hundred a day is a high salary even in Anshan City.

"OK."

As soon as Chen Fan finished speaking, the woman ran away in a flash.

Whispers arose from the surroundings, and the other female sales staff in the store looked on with envy.

Less than two minutes later, a smart-looking man in a suit and tie strode towards Chen Fan, guided by the woman.

"What is your surname, sir?"

The man extended his hand and asked with a smile.

"My surname is Zhang."

Chen Fan glanced at him but did not shake hands.

"Hehehe, so it's Mr. Zhang."

Li Lei smiled nonchalantly, withdrew his hand, and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, let me confirm with you again, are you really going to buy two longbows with a draw weight of 500 jin each in one go?"

Chen Fan nodded, then looked at him questioningly.

"good,"

Li Lei laughed and said, "If you really buy it, I can make the decision on behalf of our boss. In addition to giving you twenty iron arrows, I will give you another twenty iron arrows, plus one medium-grade armor-piercing arrow."

A collective gasp of astonishment filled the air.

There must be two or three hundred of those forty iron arrows alone.

Add in the armor-piercing arrows, and four or five hundred would be a piece of cake.

Many savvy people realized that Li Lei was trying to curry favor with this person.

After all, someone who can pull a 500-pound load is no ordinary person. At the very least, they must be a martial artist at the Body Refining Realm.

"Um."

Chen Fan felt pretty good. Actually, he had just asked casually before, hoping to hit three bars even if there was no chance, but he didn't expect to actually hit it.

"By the way, do you have any high-grade armor-piercing arrows here?"

Upon hearing this, even Li Lei, with his excellent composure, froze for a moment with a stiff smile.

The female shop assistant following behind instantly felt her heart leap into her throat. Was this boss just playing a trick on them?

She'll definitely be in trouble then.

Don't misunderstand.

Chen Fan glanced at him. "I'm just asking about the price. If it's available and the price is right, I'll buy it."

Plan ahead.

What if you go hunting one day and encounter a high-level ferocious beast?

Li Lei breathed a sigh of relief, his smile remaining unchanged. "Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry, we only sell intermediate-level armor-piercing arrows. Advanced-level armor-piercing arrows are very expensive and not easy to obtain. If you'd like, Mr. Zhang, we can discuss it in detail."

"Well, we'll talk about it later."

Chen Fan hesitated for a moment before replying.

The other party should have it, and can, sell it to me at a relatively cheaper price, but there must be other conditions.

If something can be solved with money, then solve it with money; be decisive and efficient.

He didn't want to work for someone else, in case he encountered some more ridiculous or troublesome situation.

After all, that's how it's written in novels.

"Okay, if Mr. Zhang changes his mind at any time, he can contact me."

Li Lei was slightly disappointed.

However, he believed there was plenty of time, and perhaps the other party would change their mind someday.

"Mr. Zhang, since you're sure you want it, I'll have someone pack it up right away."

"No need, just give it to me directly."

Chen Fan shook his head.

"OK."

Li Lei smiled. "Besides the bow, would you like to buy anything else? The gun you have seems pretty ordinary."

"Then let's buy one."

Two bows, plus a spearhead made of Tier 1 original alloy, and dozens of extra iron arrows, costing around five thousand yuan.

More than 10,000 yuan, less than 7,500 yuan is left.

He didn't plan to buy any more equipment with the money; instead, he would keep some and use the rest to buy Blood Rice.

Carrying two bows and a quiver crammed full, Chen Fan walked out with a gun amidst the complex gazes of the crowd behind him.

"Wow, they're really rich."

"Yeah, two bows cost over four thousand. He doesn't seem to care at all when he spends money. I wonder where he's from?"

"What, you want to find out their hideout and cause trouble?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Me, going to cause him trouble? Don't you want to live?"

The people present were not stupid; they knew that someone who dared to enter the city alone with a huge sum of money was someone they couldn't afford to mess with.

"Xiao Tao, you did a good job this time. Your commission will be included in your salary and paid at the beginning of next month."

"Thank you, manager. Thank you, manager."

The woman was extremely excited.

"If he shows up again, remember to let me know so I can personally receive him."

Li Lei looked at the other women, "You too, understand?"
