Chapter 19 The Demon Gun
Compared to ordinary firearms, the variety of magic guns is pitifully small, with only three revolvers and two rifles.
One of the three revolvers is extremely small and was designed for personnel carrying out covert operations. It is easy to carry, has a quieter sound, but is slightly less powerful.
Dong Guanfei didn't need to consider whether it was convenient to carry, so he eliminated it immediately.
The other type is a large-caliber weapon, specifically designed to kill massive monsters with powerful bodies. However, it would be difficult to successfully shoot human cultivators due to the excessive recoil.
Therefore, only the last revolver, the "Demon Hunter III," is suitable.
This revolver features a matte black finish, a sleek design, and is covered in dark gold magic patterns. It is also inlaid with two red magic crystals, exuding a blend of modern technology and profound, powerful aesthetics.
The muzzle velocity is 600 to 700 meters per second, and the effective range is 100 to 150 meters, depending on the type of bullet.
There are three types of bullets: armor-piercing explosive rounds, sunburst rounds, and freeze rounds.
Armor-piercing explosive rounds are designed for creatures with powerful bodies.
Sunfire Bullet targets monsters with the Yin attribute.
Freeze bombs are effective against monsters with the Yang attribute.
When a bullet hits a target within its effective range, its power reaches levels ranging from "Golden Basic" to "Golden Intermediate".
Western practitioners are divided into various levels, with their own unique professions and titles.
For ease of comparison, they roughly divided the professions into six levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Saint, and Demigod, and then matched them one by one with their own profession levels.
In fact, this classification can be roughly matched with the cultivation levels in the East.
The Gold level is equivalent to the "True Qi" or "Spiritual Qi" realms.
The two rifles are actually the same "Punisher No. 8" rifle, in both long and short versions.
Dong Guanfei directly eliminated the shorter version, which was slightly less powerful.
The "Punisher No. 8" is about 1.1 meters long, with multiple ridges and a muzzle brake. It is inlaid with four red magic crystals, presenting a sharp and tough mechanical metal style.
The muzzle velocity is 1,100 to 1,200 meters per second, and the effective range is 600 to 1,000 meters, depending on the type of bullet and the sights.
The basic model only comes with iron sights, with an effective range of 600 meters.
The magazine capacity is five rounds.
When a bullet hits a target within its effective range, its power reaches "Gold Intermediate".
The "Punisher No. 8" also uses those three types of bullets, but the size is different from that of the "Demon Hunter No. 3".
The "Demon Hunter III" costs one silver coin and can be equipped with a maximum of one hundred and fifty bullets—one silver coin if the three types of bullets are distributed equally.
The Punisher No. 8 costs two silver coins and can be equipped with a maximum of 210 bullets—two silver coins if the three types of bullets are evenly distributed.
Compared to other weapons, guns aren't expensive; bullets are.
In addition, after firing a full load of bullets, the magic crystal's energy will be depleted, and the barrel and gun body will be basically destroyed.
No deposit is required for bullets.
You can buy a maximum of two of each type of pistol and rifle.
Dong Guanfei did a quick calculation and found that the total cost of purchasing two fully-equipped "Demon Hunter No. 3" rifles and two "Punisher No. 8" rifles was nine silver coins.
For Dong Guanfei, who possesses a spatial backpack, the more magic guns he has, the stronger his combat power will be.
It's a pity there's a purchase limit, otherwise he would have bought at least four of each of the "Demon Hunter III" and "Punisher VIII".
Having made up his mind, Dong Guanfei left the magic gun shop and went to visit other magic weapon, potion, and raw material shops.
Some magical artifacts and potions are quite attractive, such as the more potent "Great Essence Pill," which costs one gold coin for 15 pills.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the authority to purchase it, and the price was too high.
That works out to nearly 700 Indian dollars per pill, which is equivalent to 21 RMB!
In addition, even without considering the deposit, the cost of shooting a "Demon Hunter No. 3" bullet is as high as thirteen silver dollars, which is equivalent to 4000 RMB.
The "Punisher No. 8" costs 19 Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 5700 RMB.
Dong Guanfei quickly went down to the first floor and bought a large quantity of ordinary guns, pills, and potions at the Shadow Alliance Club's directly operated store.
Specifically:
1. Two Flying Tiger-26 revolvers and 600 rounds of ammunition;
2. Two bolt-action Qianlong-09 rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition;
3. Two Tyrannosaurus-12 shotguns and 200 rounds of ammunition;
4. 120 willow-leaf throwing knives;
5. A total of twenty portions of poison, anesthetic, and mind-altering drugs;
6. Several bottles of trauma medicine, cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, mosquito repellent, and medical first aid kit.
The Flying Tiger-26 revolver is an upgraded version of the Flying Tiger-21, the gun Dong Guanfei carries at the police station. Its size and weight are very similar to the "Falcon No. 3" magic gun, and the bullet size is also very close.
The price of a single item is 70 yuan.
The Qianlong-09 rifle is the latest version of the police department's standard issue weapon, the Qianlong-08. Its size and weight are extremely similar to the "Punisher No. 8" magic gun, and the bullet size is also very close.
The price of a single item is 100 yuan.
The Tyrannosaurus-12 shotgun is rifled and uses 12-gauge buckshot and slugs. It costs 150 Hong Kong dollars per shot.
These three types of guns are priced 60-70% higher than the market price, or even double, but they are guaranteed to be genuine new guns from the West, and they are all "black guns" without serial numbers.
These firearms and ammunition supplies exhausted the bronze membership's firearms procurement privileges for one year.
This access control means making him spend an extra hundred dollars to get a new bronze membership.
Ultimately, this increased his time and money costs.
This purchase cost approximately 1,300 silver dollars.
He broke a gold coin, and now his entire fortune consists of one gold coin, eight silver coins, and seven hundred and thirteen silver dollars.
The entire contents weighed about forty kilograms and were packed into two wooden crates.
He hailed two rickshaws at the club entrance, one for people and one for goods, and headed straight for the hotel.
These coachmen's companies all have cooperation agreements with the Shadow Alliance Club, so there's no need to worry about them causing trouble within a 500-meter radius of the club.
In addition, the club has its own transportation fleet, which can guarantee safe delivery anywhere in the bustling metropolis.
Of course, the service fees are considerable, sometimes even exceeding the value of the goods.
Dong Guanfei was determined to quickly become a silver member so that he could purchase the "Great Nourishing Essence Pill" and the "Great Nourishing Divine Pill".
Although he temporarily averted the threat of being hunted by the evil spirits, his sense of crisis did not lessen much; in fact, it could be said to have become even more urgent.
Based on Dong Guotao's comments, it is highly likely that the police leadership harbors ill intentions towards him.
So here's the question.
The original owner had worked in the police station for a full sixteen months. Wouldn't the higher-ups have had no means of controlling her?
Looking back, the police station did organize two blood tests and one standardized haircut within a year.
The former claims it's convenient for providing blood transfusions to police officers in case of emergency.
A year ago, only mid- to high-ranking officers, such as police chiefs, were entitled to the benefit of blood tests.
Ironically, the original owner of this body received this kind of benefit after Dong Guotao disappeared for only a few days.
