She's Hard to Get

What he did not expect was that the firearms trade was really on the black market. The city allowed firearms to be used, but did not have any specialized shops. If Ouyang Jue wanted to buy one, she could bring them there, but he would need a little travel fees.

"No problem. How much do you want?" Ouyang Jue did not hesitate to give him the money, because he felt that what Xu Mengyun said was very likely to be true. This small country was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. Thus, guns had become their must-have item. It was very likely that they would be able to use them in the near future.

"How much do you need?" When the shop assistant saw the fare, she immediately showed a bright smile. However, she kept her voice low as if she was doing something very shameful. Her eyes looked out of the window from time to time, afraid that others would notice.

"They do need a lot of guns." They do need a lot of guns.

Ouyang Jue counted the number of people and felt that a lot of equipment was required for the firearms and bullets. At the very least, every crew member on the fishing boats had to learn how to use guns, otherwise, it would be hard to ensure that they wouldn't run into pirates after walking around in the various seas for a long time.

However, the shop assistant's appearance was a bit unreliable. She wouldn't only be able to sell him one or two guns, right? If that happened, how would he be able to gather so many guns?

"Then come with me."

The shop assistant looked out of the window as she brought Ouyang Jue and the others to the back of the shop. Behind the busy streets was a piece of yellow land with only a few weeds growing on it, the shop assistant pointed at a jeep for Ouyang Jue and the rest to sit on, it looked like they were going to take them to a faraway place, but this car was too small, at most, there were five or six people inside.

"We can run!"

Yu Di made a running gesture. Their bodies would not be a problem following this carriage, although they had never fought before, but based on their experience in living, they could already smell a kind of danger here. Thus, moving as a group was the best method.

The group of people set off in a grandiose manner. They surrounded the jeep so that the jeep was unable to escape their range of vision.

Ouyang Jue had also gradually observed the structure of the country. He was only flourishing at the point where the port led to the center of the city, the surrounding areas were all wilderness, and the marks on the wheels of the vehicles were mostly the marks of jeeps. It was obvious that there were a lot of people coming and going every day.

"Ouyang, where is she bringing us?" Ning Caier saw that the scenery was getting more and more desolate and worried, she turned her head to look at the street at the center of the city, they were already very far away, she could not even see the houses in the center of the city. Although a city would inevitably have bustling urban areas and desolate suburbs, it shouldn't be so desolate.

Moreover, there was no transition zone from the center of the city to the desolate area they were in. It had completely changed into the style of two different regions, which was really strange for this small country. The center of the city was like an oasis in the desert.

"It's alright. The weapon storage is quite far away, so it's reasonable."

Ouyang Jue's expression became serious. He took out a dagger from beside his boots and pressed it against the employee's neck, telling her to speak out the truth. He did not care about the extra money, but if she wanted to kidnap them, the people here were not to be trifled with.

"I don't mean to hurt you, but everyone here does."

The shop assistant felt the blade on her neck but she did not show any sign of panic, as if such things happened so often that even the steering wheel in her hands was extremely stable. This kind of courage made Ouyang Jue admire her, so he took the blade away from her, and as long as the shop assistant could give a reasonable explanation, he could let her go.

The city center and dock you just went to were both hunting grounds in this country. Everyone wanted to get benefits from them, so it was the place with the most war, and later on, no one could do business or receive money, so the several forces here reached an agreement. Each side took turns to collect money from the hunting grounds for three months, and as for the guests who wanted to buy weapons, they would respectively arrange for people to lead the way there.

The shop assistant's clear reply made Ouyang Jue feel a little shocked. The various forces in the city were actually guarding the surroundings of the city center, surrounding the entire city center and the pier to divide them up. It was inconceivable that what he thought would only happen in the last century would actually be allowed to happen. Even if this small country had no laws, would international organizations not care?

"For this world, the annual benefits of this small country are too little, so no one is willing to spend that much energy to manage it. Moreover, this world will always leave some black holes for dirty things to move around, otherwise the world will become even more chaotic."

The shop assistant of the bookstore answered naturally, as if this was the entire world's default rule. Now, Ouyang Jue finally understood why he was so worried about him.

This country was not really that big, and after walking for another hour or so, they finally saw something similar to a village. However, the person who lived here was not a villager but a soldier armed with a weapon.

Fortunately, they weren't the only ones who came to buy weapons. There were many other people of different skin colors, and the firearms here seemed to be items from a large auction house. They were all casually thrown onto a large table. This was the first time Ouyang Jue had seen such a way of dealing in firearms. Could it be that these people were not afraid of the guests taking up their guns and attacking them?

Ouyang Jue looked around and saw that the guards were all standing on high towers with long-ranged sniper rifles in their hands. Anyone who tried to retaliate would be killed immediately. According to the terrain, they, the guests who had picked up the items, had no room for resistance.

"You can't bring so many people in here. You can only bring two people in."

There were other soldiers inside who would bring them to settle the bill or even to deliver guns, so the people who had just gotten off the car to pick them up already rushed over, this kind of one-stop service was really considerate, but when it came to buying guns, it made people feel that it was a little awkward.

Ouyang Jue entered the auction house in a state of calm as he was already present. Those who were able to come here were all rich people who had chosen to buy large amounts of things, so they did not pay much attention to each other before.

However, Ning Caier was the only female here, so she was naturally very conspicuous, thus Ouyang Jue placed a small and exquisite gun in her hands. Although there were no bullets in the gun, but he wanted Ning Caier to make it look like it wasn't his first time here. Otherwise, there would be too little meat and more wolves. It was very possible that these people would do something to Ning Caier.

"What are they doing, are these weapons real?"

Since it was Ning Caier's first time holding a gun, she was naturally very nervous. Her gun was always aimed at Ouyang Jue, and even though there was no bullet inside, it would definitely not hit him.

"Of course it's true. Otherwise, why would we come here?"

Ouyang Jue taught Ning Caier how to hold his gun. If others were to see that he was the only one who used a gun among their group of people, who knew if they would be robbed or not.

Fortunately, Ouyang Jue was very professional with his spear selection process, so he could see the ranks of these guns. There were a lot of things that had been taken down from other old and useless guns, such as these, that no one wanted. However, there would always be some ignorant people who would take the bait here, and their numbers were not few.

Ouyang Jue usually liked to play with guns at gun conferences, and during this period of time, he had learned a lot of ways to choose guns by chatting with Ling Tian. The newest type of guns might not be the best one, but if it was bought in large quantities, it was best to match it with long-range guns.

He ignored the others and focused on putting his number on the gun he had chosen. Such a smart way to choose a gun made everyone think that he was an expert. At least he had seen a lot of good things before. Therefore, those who wanted to take note of him gradually gave up on this idea. There was definitely more than just this kind of people behind him.

Ouyang Jue calculated the price and felt that they had pretty much picked out what they wanted, the short guns and spears were dazzling, and there were more than 10 boxes of bullets, it was definitely enough for them to fight a big battle, but when he went to settle the bill, the weapons were actually blocked, and they actually told him that the things he chose could be used for free.

"What? Even a place like yours has a lucky customer?" Ouyang Jue thought this was unbelievable, he had never heard of a place that didn't need money to buy weapons, and with such a large amount of weapons, could it be that the leaders of this place wanted to learn the business method to sell prizes, or was it related to Ling Tian here?

"You are indeed very lucky today. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the confidence to win if we were to return this batch of weapons." The soldier's words were extremely sincere, causing Ouyang Jue to not understand what he meant. Could it be that something happened at the pier?

"Mr. Ouyang, the General is waiting for you upstairs. No matter what happens, he will guarantee your safe return home." The soldier bowed towards Ouyang Jue and pointed upstairs. His identity was already known to everyone and their general was waiting for him upstairs. No matter if he wanted to see him or not, he had to go up.

Ouyang Jue knew that there was no free lunch in the world and the reason why this general gave him so much firearms must be because of the bounty. He knew that he would not die, but it would not be easy for him to come to an agreement with this general, because his appetite was probably even bigger than the five million dollar bounty.

"Cai'er, come with me." Ouyang Jue originally wanted to hand Ning Caier over to Yu Di, but looking at the surrounding firearms, he knew that Yu Di was simply unable to protect himself. Hence, he wanted to bring Ning Caier along, so even if they would fight in the future, he wanted to stay with her.

He never thought that they would experience such a life and death battle in the first three days that Xu Mengyun mentioned. Even Ouyang Jue could not help but take a deep breath facing the large pile of firearms in the room.
