Chapter 46 This Unlucky Kid
Dong Guanfei took out an exquisite revolver, which he had seized from the leader of a special forces team in the late stage of the True Strength realm.
Four red spirit crystals were embedded in the silver gun.
An ivory grip with slightly polished ridges and finely engraved engraved patterns meander along the gun body and barrel, forming an enigmatic design.
The gun is engraved with two upright, gilded characters: Silver Blood.
Below the two characters is a column of smaller, italicized, gilded characters: "A gift for coming of age, presented to Sanada Mitsuki."
The data panel shows that the three types of ammunition fired by this pistol have reached the mid-peak of the Gold level.
The three types of ammunition total fifty-four rounds, plus the six armor-piercing rounds in the magazine, for a total of sixty rounds.
Then, Dong Guanfei put away his pistol and took out a bolt-action rifle.
The dark gold gun was inlaid with six red spirit crystals.
The same color barrel and gun body are also covered with mysterious magic patterns.
The gun is engraved with two upright, gilded characters: Golden Blood.
Below the two characters is a smaller column of italicized gilded characters: "Coming-of-age ceremony, presented by uncle to Sanada Mitsuki."
The data panel shows that the three types of bullets fired by the "Gold Blood" rifle have reached the peak power of the late-stage Gold level.
The three types of ammunition total ninety rounds, plus ten armor-piercing rounds in the magazine, for a total of one hundred rounds.
These two guns must have been handcrafted by a renowned gunsmith, and they must be quite expensive.
After admiring "Golden Blood" for a while, Dong Guanfei put it into his spatial backpack.
He was very satisfied with the two guns, and they became his main weapons from then on.
I just don't know who "Sanada Mitsutsuki's" uncle is.
It's no wonder that Sanada Mitsuki is so unlucky. What respectable family would give a gift with the word "blood" on it for their coming-of-age ceremony?
This poor kid was clearly cursed to death by his uncle, and he died on the spot without a single shot being fired.
"This is really not my fault!"
"The guns are important, but the people who use them are even more important. It was only when these two guns came into my hands that I abandoned darkness and found a wise ruler."
Dong Guanfei walked out of the room with a smug look on his face. When he went down to the first floor, he found Zhao Guanghua and Zhao Huibao sitting in the hall.
No, it should be Qian Guanghua and Qian Huibao.
They were the children of Qian Chuanzong, the warlord who ruled Jiangdong.
They revealed their identities to Dong Guanfei during the dinner last night.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qian Guanghua asked the housekeeper to take Dong Guanfei to the restaurant for breakfast.
Breakfast is very plentiful, including salted eggs, tofu rice cakes, radish pancakes, glutinous rice balls, steamed buns, pickled mustard greens and lean pork soup noodles, steamed lake delicacies, and more.
Dong Guanfei had a great appetite and enjoyed a delicious meal.
Qian Guanghua and Qian Huibao stayed in the lobby. When he came out of the restaurant, Qian Guanghua got up and asked him to sit down on the sofa in the lobby.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he got straight to the point:
"Mr. Li, we have made a preliminary estimate that the spoils of war can be converted into 50,000 silver dollars."
"In addition, Mr. Zhang and I each have 100,000 silver dollars as a token of our appreciation."
"If you're comfortable with that, I'll pay with 400 Qi Xian Tang Da Yun Shen Dan pills."
"Can."
Dong Guanfei readily agreed.
Qi Xiantang's Dayun Shendan is one of the three major brands of this type of elixir, and some of the Dayun Shendan sold by the Shadow Club are also from this brand.
Purchasing 400 pills at the Shadow Club costs approximately 26 gold coins and 7 silver coins, which translates to a black market price of about 290,000 silver dollars.
Qian Guanghua's cost of purchasing large quantities of the Great Essence Pill was certainly far lower than the Shadow Club's selling price, but this was due to his resources and abilities.
In fact, his calculation in this way was already a clear indication of his goodwill towards Dong Guanfei.
These Great Spirit Pills, combined with what Dong Guanfei had on hand, should allow him to cultivate both of his spiritual techniques to the seventh spiritual node of the Transcendent Realm, which was a great help to him.
It's important to understand that a Silver member's purchasing authority within the Shadow Club is simply insufficient to buy so many Great Spirit Elixir pills within a year.
"Okay, let's settle it like this. However, I can only gather two hundred pills in Xianhu Town for now. The rest can only be delivered in Xicheng."
"We plan to take a pleasure boat back to Wuxi early tomorrow morning, which normally only takes one day."
"Therefore, I would like to ask you to escort my brother and sister and Miss Zhang to Xicheng again. The basic reward is 10,000 silver dollars per day. If a powerful enemy of Gold rank or above attacks, the reward will increase to more than 100,000 silver dollars."
One day is no problem, and the pay is generous.
Moreover, Dong Guanfei wanted to stay with the two witches for a few more days to explore the patterns of triggering system tasks.
"Okay, but we'll try to settle the payment using the Great Essence Pill."
"Okay, I'll try my best, because Xicheng may not have that many Great Essence Divine Pills in abundance all at once."
"Also, my previous Silver quest is now considered a successful completion."
"No problem, I'll get the formalities done in a bit."
"Okay, also, I'd like to ask why you continue to employ me. This is your Qian family's territory."
Qian Guanghua gave a wry smile. "There are many river bandits in Jiangdong, and there are seven relatively powerful ones."
"Even if we travel by land, we might still be attacked by them."
"Under normal circumstances, they would avoid the Qian and Zhang families' ships, and our current security force is sufficient."
"But after what happened yesterday, some river pirates might ambush us, because they are backed by Japanese."
"The most notorious of them all was the 'Fulong Gang.' The gang leader, Liu Fulong, was originally just a very daring thief. With the support of the Japanese, his gang spanned an area of four or five hundred kilometers. Wherever they went, they burned, killed, looted, raped, and plundered. They were utterly wicked."
"Liu Fulong is thirty-eight years old this year, and he reached the peak of the early stage of True Qi Realm three years ago."
"The waterways of the Five Lakes are complex, with many places where ambushes can be easily set up. Escape is not as simple as just being fast by boat."
"My father originally wanted to send a master to pick up my sister, but all the suitable candidates were unavailable within the next two weeks."
"My mother hasn't seen my younger sister for over two years and misses her terribly, which is why she asked Mr. Li for help."
Dong Guanfei nodded. "I see. Have you decided which pleasure boat you'll be taking?"
"It's confirmed. The little steamship 'Fairy' will be there, along with more than thirty guards."
"Today I'm going to take a test ride on the 'Fairy' and also try out a gun on board."
"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
......
Around 4 PM.
A remote marshland in the Five Lakes region.
This area is covered with reeds and teeming with water birds.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Gunshots, some muffled and some sharp, rang out continuously.
Zhang Wanxin and Zhao Huibao, aboard the "Fairy" pleasure boat, stared in disbelief as waterbirds, some tens or even hundreds of meters away, suddenly tumbled to the ground.
After firing three or four shots, Dong Guanfei hit his target every time.
Whether it was egrets, red-billed gulls, or fierce white-tailed eagles, none escaped unscathed.
The key point is that Dong Guanfei seemed to shoot very casually, without even aiming properly.
Dong Guanfei instructed the boatman to steer the boat at different speeds, and after firing four guns and a total of more than twenty bullets, he stopped.
"Truly amazing! 'Ruthless,' how did you develop such incredible archery skills?"
