Chapter 14: System Upgrade! New Features!

Lin Yi saw quite a few boys running up to the beautiful girls, attempting to strike up conversations.

However, all of them returned in defeat; it seemed not a single one had succeeded.

This left a deep impression on Lin Yi.

Yet, precisely because of this, he had even less desire to approach them himself.

He had no intention of becoming cannon fodder.

Over these past few days, Lin Yi continued to wake up on time and attend his major courses.

The only change was that he had gradually begun to abandon the businesses he ran on campus, as well as his part-time jobs off-campus.

After all, holding over seven million in hand, he now possessed startup capital that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

It was just that Lin Yi had not yet found the corresponding market opportunity for his venture.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

As agreed, tonight was the day for him to deliver the second batch of orders to the Syrian armed factions.

In order to continue maintaining the brand reputation of the "Dragon Nation Unofficial Weapon Flagship Store,"

he attached great importance to this matter.

That night, after all his roommates in the dormitory had fallen fast asleep,

Lin Yi once again contacted the "Holy War Organization."

That night, several shipping containers were airdropped into the Syrian desert.

When the militants opened the containers, they found them packed densely with firearms.

Every weapon was coated in gun oil, appearing jet-black and gleaming.

Having already made one purchase,

plus a week of usage, these militants had deeply experienced the quality of this batch of weapons.

To be honest, they could now be said to have fallen in love with Dragon Country goods.

Cheap and durable!

Compared to the equipment they had bought before, this was simply the difference between heaven and earth.

Most importantly, even second-hand weapons on the international market were far more expensive than Dragon Country's weapons.

How could they not like them?

Moments later, out on the barren desert wasteland, every militant had taken up an AK-47.

Some of them held an AK-47 in one hand while an SVD sniper rifle hung from their shoulders.

Upon receiving such reliable new weapons, many shouted excitedly.

Some even yelled loudly:

"Start the war! Let those bastards supported by the Ugly Country bastards know our power!"

"Wipe out those bastards from the Sunni sect!"

"For the President...!"

Seeing these people so excited, the bearded commander in charge of this procurement also raised his AK,

loaded a magazine directly, and frantically pulled the trigger toward the sky.

Seeing the Colonel Commander act this way, everyone else followed suit.

Instantly, the sound of gunfire echoed endlessly across the empty sandy ground.

They were now well-stocked with ammunition; one million rounds were enough for them to fight a small local campaign.

Additionally, because the Bearded Colonel had connected with the Dragon Country line and purchased extremely cheap weapons,

the Syrian President heard about this matter and bestowed praise and rewards upon the Bearded One.

Now, Colonel Commander Bearded had decided to launch a campaign as soon as possible to retake some major cities.

Meanwhile, after Lin Yi had completed the delivery of the order,

he heard the mechanical voice of the system ring out.

"Ding... Detected that the host has met the conditions for tech tree upgrade. Upgrade?"

"Upgrade!" Lin Yi replied with almost no hesitation.

"Upgrade starting..."

"Upgrade complete!!"

As Lin Yi opened the virtual system panel, it displayed:

"Host: Lin Yi"

"Stone Stone Stone Stone Age: 21"

"Race: Human"

"Arms Dealer Reputation: 8 (Novice Arms Dealer)"

"Tech Tree Level: 2 Stars"

Points.

In Lin Yi's view, this must be because these two orders had given him some fame in the international arms market.

"Ding... Beginning to unlock new weapon catalog!"

"Please select the catalog category!"

Immediately, Lin Yi saw various options:

Artillery class, Tank class, Aircraft class, Radar class, Naval Vessel class.

Although Lin Yi wanted to unlock all these catalogs immediately, it seemed only one item could be unlocked per upgrade.

Comparing them, although the Aircraft class held higher value,

Lin Yi did not think those people in Syria could afford them.

Instead, the other party had asked him last time whether he had artillery.

So, after a moment's thought, Lin Yi immediately said to the system:

"Unlock the Artillery class catalog!"

"Ding... Unlock successful!"

Immediately, Lin Yi saw various artillery pieces added to the catalog.

This included the Ugly Country's M19 60mm mortar from World War II,

the M224 mortar,

and the M30 mortar.

From John Bull: the L16 81mm mortar,

and the R0120 120mm mortar.

Besides mortars, there were also various multiple rocket launchers.

Ranging from the Ugly Country's M270 to the Soviet Union's Katyusha BM-13, as well as the BM-27 220mm multiple rocket launcher.

Others included anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft autocannons.

However, what delighted Lin Yi the most was that the missile series actually belonged to the artillery category.

Looking at the catalog containing hundreds of missile types from countries around the world, it could be said that apart from nuclear weapons, even intercontinental ballistic missiles were included.

The subcategories included surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, ship-to-air missiles, cruise missiles, air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, and so on.

Taking surface-to-surface ballistic missiles as an example, the list included the Soviet-made SS-N-23 submarine-launched missile and strategic nuclear missiles.

It also included the American Atlas MIRV missile.

There were the Titan II, the Jupiter medium-range missile, the Minuteman series, the Peacekeeper series, and more.

Others, including the Patriot and the Scud missile, were all available.

Of course, compared to light weapons, the prices of these missiles were undoubtedly exorbitant.

Even during the Cold War, the Soviet Scud missile sold within the system for twenty thousand dollars.

However, compared to the international selling price of five hundred thousand dollars,

it was already cheap as dirt.

Just as Lin Yi was secretly rejoicing over these new weapons,

he heard the system continue,

"Ding... Detected that the Host's technology tree has reached Level 2. Beginning to unlock new functions!"

"Unlocking the Materials Technology Tree, unlocking the Equipment Technology Tree, unlocking the Biotechnology Tree!"

"Ding... Unlocking the Mercenary function!"
