Both our nations belong to the Third World; we are brotherly countries and should watch out for one another... jointly safeguarding world peace!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Haha, exactly, we are brother nations; this is a fact endorsed by Allah (the True Lord) and cannot be changed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Syrian militants were extremely satisfied with Lin Yi's address.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the other party directly changed how they addressed him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, after witnessing your strength, our organization hopes to order more arms to maintain world peace; I wonder if our brother nation can provide them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's mouth immediately split into a wide grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the first deal was already done, getting caught would surely mean eating a peanut (being executed).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he had even fewer scruples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Certainly, though I do not know what your side requires!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"5,000 AK-47s, 200 SVD sniper rifles...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party replied straightforwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this order, Lin Yi was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, one of the conditions for upgrading his Arms System technology tree was to sell 5,000 light weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the other party had placed such a large order at once, it fully met his upgrade conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, I wonder if there could be some discount on the quotation!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the message from the other side, Lin Yi thought for a moment before replying on his phone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the standard version of the AK-47, we will give your side a 10% discount, making it 180 USD per unit;

firearms priced at 200 USD per unit can still get a 10% discount!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, the Syrian militants also had their own scale of judgment in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, it was not uncommon for international arms dealers to come here to peddle weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regarding those prices, at the most exaggerated times, buying one gun from those dealers for the Syrian militants,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>could buy three guns from Lin Yi's side, and even then, the quality was questionable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many were second-hand, old, or poorly crafted goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, who could blame the Syrian militants for urgently needing these weapons when most countries internationally refused to sell to them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, they could only endure the pain of buying a pile of trash at high prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, looking at the Brother Nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honest; this word seemed tailor-made for the people of Dragon Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good people; if we get the chance, we will definitely present a silk banner from the Third World to the Dragon Country military!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Syrian militants made up their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in their hearts, they believed the party communicating with them was definitely the Dragon Country military.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, within some base in Dragon Country,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a General wearing golden star insignia on his shoulder boards was overseeing this transaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, overtly, it was difficult for Dragon Country to break through the blockades of Ugly Country and John Bull to directly export weapons to Syria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, there emerged this \"Dragon Country Non-Official Weapon Flagship Store.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it cannot be done openly, then do it secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Yi naturally did not know that these Syrians had once again pinned the blame on the Dragon Country military.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the SVD sniper rifle in the weapon catalog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The SVD sniper rifle is a model developed and adopted by the Soviet Bear in 1963.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has a caliber of 7.62mm, a total weight of 4.3kg, a total length of 1220mm, a maximum range of 1300 meters, and a magazine capacity of 10 rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was finalized and equipped in troops in 1967.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the Soviet Bear, the armies of countries such as Egypt, Yugoslavia, and Romania also adopted and produced the SVD sniper rifle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The SVD sniper rifle is specifically designed to provide long-range precision fire for infantry squads and platoons, serving as a paradigm for specialized sniper rifles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sniper rifle has an effective range of about 600 meters; the reason the Syrian militants chose this gun,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>on one hand, is its good controllability and few parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, it is extremely durable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is just like why many militants favor the AK-47; it is not only because of its cheap price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is also because of its simple structure, low failure rate, and great suitability for harsh weather like deserts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other assault rifles are either expensive or extremely \"delicate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the system's listed price for the SVD sniper rifle: 25 USD,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi directly quoted his brother:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"500 USD per unit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, the Syrian militants were extremely excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know that the prices of sniper rifles are generally very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, John Bull's L115A3 sniper rifle: about 6,000 GBP (approximately 7,000 USD);\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugly Country's M110A1 sniper rifle: about 7,000 USD;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hans's HK G28E sniper rifle also costs about 7,000 USD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These famous sniper rifles all roughly meet this price standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the SVD sniper rifle is a product of the 1960s from the last century, with an effective range of merely 600 meters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The international quoted price for the SVD sniper rifle was also between 800 and 1,000 US dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the Dragon Nation military was willing to sell them for 500 dollars each, and with this transaction, they had experienced the quality of Dragon Nation's military industry,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which for Syria was simply the epitome of high quality at a low price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that with the same military budget that previously bought one unit, they could now buy two or even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, the Syrian side placed their order almost without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi provided an account patched by the system,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and once the Syrian side transferred the funds into the designated account, the money would immediately vanish from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would then disappear into the global stock and futures markets,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>finally entering Lin Yi's controllable domestic account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, the funds became legal income.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Dragon Nation agencies tried to investigate, they would find nothing; everything was perfectly legal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of the system's patch that Lin Yi could engage in the arms trade without worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with the completion of the first order,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi's system panel displayed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Host: Lin Yi\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stone Stone Stone Stone Age: 21\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Race: Human\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arms Dealer Reputation: 3 (Novice Arms Dealer)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Technology Tree Level: One Star\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, his reputation had increased by two points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lin Yi's view, this must be because after completing the first order,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he had gained a slight reputation among arms dealers, resulting in this increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the conditions for upgrading the Technology Tree level read: \"Sell basic firearms (250\u002F5000), 1 million rounds of ammunition (completed), Arms Dealer Reputation 5 points (3\u002F5).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi believed that upon completing the second order,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Technology Tree level would rise, simultaneously unlocking new weapon catalogs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(PS: New book seeking flowers, tips, and review tickets;
