Chapter 30 - Going In Deep (Part I)
Nighttime, nine o'clock sharp.
This time, upon returning to his room, Chen Yu didn't wait for Sister Qi to fall asleep before flipping out of the window. He was ready to get started on whatever plan he had for the night.
The effects of the blessing had worn off. At this point in time, he was back in a state of full strength and functionality and was able to venture further into the depths of the Foreign Realm.
Jumping his way down the stairs, he didn't leave right away. Instead, he took out his wallet and counted all the money he had at that moment.
It was 4266 yuan in cash.
Two boxes of Harbin cigarettes.
Three Qi-boosting elixirs.
One steel dagger.
The most valuable of these items was the set of Qi-boosting elixirs that he hadn't eaten yet.
These could fetch at least 50,000 yuan if sold on the black market.
This was also the reason why he had set out earlier tonight.
He wanted to sell these three Qi-boosting elixirs…
Lighting a cigarette and putting it in his mouth, Chen Yu took off with a sudden burst of speed. And then, he was weaving his way through the city at lightning speed, like a shadow sweeping past in a flash.
Soon, he arrived at a building that was named "Kiryu" General Affairs Section.
After putting on a mask and adjusting his voice, Chen Yu pushed the door open and entered.
"Welcome to Kiryu General Affairs Section." Behind the counter, a sweet-looking woman bowed slightly and asked, "How can I help you?"
"I'm here to sell something." Chen Yu's reply was brief and concise.
"Okay." The woman nodded and, raising her hand, snapped her fingers loudly.
A middle-aged man, with a cold face and a body that was emanating strong waves of internal energy from head to toe, appeared. He looked Chen Yu up and down a few times, then said, "Follow me."
"Mm."
The two of them took the elevator and went up to the fourth floor.
During this entire process, Chen Yu didn't say a single word.
The place that he'd come to wasn't a place of kindness or good intentions.
This was a subsidiary industry owned by the Eastern City Association of Hua Province, and it was under the management of the "Kiryu" Group.
It belonged to an area that was "beyond the reach" of the city police force.
Talk less, maintain a low profile, no harm done…
"Ding!"
Following the sound of a bell, the doors of the elevator opened.
Chen Yu followed the man through a corridor and entered a room that was fully enclosed.
In the middle of the room, an old man with a head full of white hair spoke up and asked. "Sir, what do you want to sell?"
"Qi-boosting elixir." That said, Chen Yu took out the three Qi-boosting elixirs and put them on the table.
The old man put on a pair of white gloves and picked up one of the pills with pinched fingers. He sniffed it and then said, "This is produced by Yungui Pharmaceutical and is of very good quality. Our Kiryu Group… mmm, is willing to buy them at a price of 19,200 yuan per pill."
"No problem." Chen Yu nodded.
The price was slightly higher than what he'd expected.
"Cash or online payment?"
"Cash."
"Alright." The old man checked the other two elixirs, one after the other, and confirmed that there wasn't anything wrong with them. Then he wrote a note, handed it to the middle-aged man, who was none other than a hatchet man, and said, "A total of 58,800 yuan. You can take him to the accounts department to receive his money."
"Yes." The middle-aged hatchet man nodded. Then he looked at Chen Yu and said, "Follow me."
Five minutes later.
Chen Yu left Kiryu General Affairs Section with five stacks of bills.
But he didn't go to the "Portal" Square. Instead, he turned into the commercial street and walked into a large martial arts equipment franchise store.
Mankind's greatest enemy would always be the foreign beasts outside the city.
In the face of those sharp-toothed monsters, warriors naturally couldn't fight with their bare hands. It was absolutely necessary to equip themselves with martial arts weapons and defensive gear.
In order to support the development of weapons in the military industry, almost every company producing military equipment would receive huge subsidies from the state.
Chen Yu first went to the second floor of the franchise store.
The first floor mainly sold weapons.
Swords, blades, guns, single-armed RPGs, fragmentation grenades, and even small incendiary bombs… it had everything.
As a Chinese in the world of his previous life, if he were to say what interested him the most, his answer would still be firearms.
Now that he was in a highly militarized world, naturally, he would take advantage of this opportunity to own guns…
Walking up to a wall cabinet, Chen Yu carefully observed the weapons for a moment and then pointed to something ahead and asked, "What's the price of that revolver?"
"Colt Python revolver, eight inches." The salesman took down the revolver and handed it to Chen Yu. "A double-action handgun with a six-round cylinder for bullet capacity."
Taking the revolver from the salesman, Chen Yi weighed it in his hand and commented, "It's a little light."
The salesman said, "There's a modified version that's specially fashioned for warriors, but it's more expensive."
"How expensive?"
"The least outstanding one of them costs more than 50,000 yuan."
"… Forget I even asked."
"Okay."
"What kind of bullets does it use?"
"A .357 Magnum revolver cartridge. You can also use all kinds of specialty bullets."
"Can it be used in an environment that's filled with radiation?"
"Radiation…" The salesman frowned and said, "Are you referring to the radiation in that Foreign Realm in our Green City?"
"Yes."
"The radiation there is too high. I don't recommend using it in there."
"Oh, then I'm not buying it."
The salesman: "…" (speechless)
After putting down the gun, Chen Yu turned and left.
He had seen the gun and touched it, which had satisfied his desire for it. In the end, he decided to spend the money on a blade.
So, he bought a knife.
It was a specially designed and weighted Tang knife made of alloy metal.
The blade was straight and had a pure black handle. And its rate of internal strength conductivity was as high as 43%!
With Chen Yu's strength, a knife like that would be just the right fit.
Anyway, he didn't really know any particular blade techniques, so if he used it, he would just blindly swing it…
The heavier it was, the better…
When he was done buying a weapon, he went back up to the third floor, where a new C-type high-polymer bodysuit caught his eye.
According to the salesman, even if he had to brave a shot from a type-92 model gun, if he were wearing this bodysuit, he would still be alive and kicking…
Chen Yu asked, "Will I be alive and kicking while in pain?"
The salesman replied, "… You can kick anyway."
Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)
The salesman was hustling him into making the purchase, and Chen Yu was definitely not going to let himself be fooled. But at the end of the day, Chen Yu still bought a set.
Next, he went up the fourth floor, ready to buy some auxiliary props.
But whether it was the Yunnan White Medicine, high-efficiency bandages, adrenaline…
Or cardiac stimulant, hemostatic agent, JC stimulant, concentrated glucose…
Chen Yu couldn't find anything "suitable" for him.
Halfheartedly, he took one round about the place but didn't find anything good, so he approached a salesman and asked, "Hello, do you sell paraquat here?"
The salesman replied, "Get lost."
Chen Yu: "Fine."
…..
Eventually, in a corner of the fourth floor, he still managed to find a treasure that was worthy of use.
"What's the price of that pepper spray?"
"Highly effective, or just the ordinary one?"
"Highly effective one."
"That will be 1,780 yuan." The salesman, who had a big belly and thick waist, took down the bottle of pepper spray and put it on the table before going on to explain, "This is eight times more effective than the ordinary spray. Even a Level 2 warrior's eyesight would be temporarily impaired if this was sprayed in his face. But try your best not to use this on ordinary people. It may cause permanent damage."
Chen Yu took the spray and carefully played around with it for a while. Then he asked, "Can I try it?"
"Sure."
"Thanks." After conveying his gratitude, Chen Yu twisted open the cap and aimed it at his own face. Then he pressed the nozzle without warning!
"Pssssst…"
The salesman: "⊙▃⊙?!!"
[Subjected to stimulus damage: Temporary vision +86%; Vision +8]
"Ho! Good lord…" Chen Yu rubbed his eyes and then looked left and right.
The salesman's face was filled with confusion as he said, "Ss… sir, your… your eyes… are they alright?"
"Yes, they're fine! I can see things more clearly!"
The salesman: "…" (speechless)
"This stuff is good. I'll buy it. Can I get a discount?"
"Yes, yes, yes…"
...
The weighted Tang knife.
Protective-type bodysuit.
Highly effective pepper spray.
After he was done buying these things, he was only left with slightly more than six thousand yuan.
Taking his phone out to check the time, Chen Yu delayed no further and rushed straight away to the "Portal" Square.
He had set his mind on getting into some seriously aggressive action tonight…
However, shortly after he left, a warrior emerged from the shadows and spoke into his walkie-talkie: "The target has gone to the Square. I repeat, the target has left for the Square…"
....
