Chapter 50: Nothing Strange About It! (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

At a farmhouse on the outskirts of the small town, the crowd in the middle of a party was startled awake by the sound of an alarm.

The squinting, bald man jumped up from the sofa in a start, his hands fumbling about, but he could not find his phone.

He did not think much of it, assuming he had just been playing too wildly and had accidentally dropped it in some corner.

He was more worried about the source of the alarm, and ignoring his confused companions all around, he ran quickly out the door.

As soon as he stepped outside, the bald man saw two pale-faced young men running down from the second-floor stairwell.

One of them stammered, "Boss! This is bad!"

"Outside the villa... there are so many black-skinned cars!"

"We, we've been surrounded!"

Upon hearing this, the bald man nearly blacked out; it took him several seconds to regain his senses and rush to the walk-in closet.

"I only brought a group of brothers here for a vacation, how could I have attracted so many black-skins!"

"Could it be that Old San sold me out?"

"Even if he did, how would he know I was here!"

The bald man's mind grew more chaotic as he thought, but his hands and feet familiarly opened the walk-in closet, and he reached his large hand inside to grab fiercely at the plastic box! But he grabbed nothing.

The heater he had placed in the box and covered with a fine sponge quilt was nowhere to be found.

"What is going on! Where is my gun!"

"Where is my long gun!"

The bald man, suffering blow after blow, lost control of his emotions and grabbed wildly at the bottom of the box.

Yet, other than grabbing a few common mouse droppings, he found nothing.

"Open the door! Random inspection!"

Outside the door, dozens of beams of light shot in through the windows, and immediately, before most people could react.

The door was breached, and with a loud crash... a group of people were caught red-handed.

The squad leader in charge initially thought it was just a crazy party involving illegal drugs.

Unexpectedly, as the interrogation progressed, they caught several big fish who were on the wanted list!

This made the squad leader ecstatic, and it also made them curiously study the details.

Upon this study, they immediately discovered many strange suspicious points.

For example, the phone number that sent the text message, through interrogation and screening, turned out to be the phone of the organization's own boss! Considering that this phone was not found at the scene.

They initially guessed that perhaps an inside man had stolen and used this phone to send the message, and then the inside man had destroyed the SIM card and turned off the phone before leaving.

But through investigation and surveillance, they did not find any evidence of this inside man's existence.

Yet the signal location at that time was indeed at that farmhouse! In that unsightly place!

"The mysterious secret room reporting incident?"

The squad leader and a portion of the experts became interested, especially as several core members confessed about the existence of weapons, they were surprised to find that no trace of weapons was discovered inside the farmhouse!

The intensity of the investigation was subsequently doubled!

Unfortunately, there were ultimately too few clues.

Other than surveillance capturing a local mouse passing by.

In the walk-in closet, the forensics team found some strange marks left behind.

In a short period of time, they did not find anything more useful.

However, the squad leader was not worried; he had already reported the matter and preserved the scene, just waiting for more professional personnel with better equipment to investigate to the end! And Su Ping, who had done this nameless good deed.

Had already returned to Linyue Villa in the Cultivation World.

And in the practice room, he tested the feasibility of the dual-gun Qi Refiner profession.

As a result, Su Ping discovered, how could dual guns satisfy the strength of a Body Tempering cultivator? Not caring about recoil, not needing to worry about weight, he could completely carry both long and short guns on his person, and then use the physical fitness brought by Body Tempering to execute the Draw-Gun Technique, Gun-Fighting Technique, Infinite Firepower Technique, etc., to give enemy cultivators a big surprise.

Su Ping holstered his guns back to his waist and simulated several battles in his mind.

"In the future, when I encounter a Robber Cultivator, I can first scatter a wave of Thunder Fire Beads to disrupt their moves, then unexpectedly draw my guns and fire!"

"After firing, I'll swap guns instead of reloading; after exhausting the bullets of the three pistols and two long guns on my body, if the opponent is still breathing, then I'll serve them an Incendiary Bottle!"

"However, the power of an Incendiary Bottle is too great, it can even burn the Storage Bag, so I should use it sparingly if I can."

"In addition, the few Strengthening Talismans traded from the Yun Family Market last time can also be used on these weapons."

Su Ping took out the Talisman, and after channeling Dharma Power to activate it, he slapped the Talisman onto the pistol.

A Golden Light flashed by, and the three pistols gained Metal Solidification, reduced wear, and other spell enhancements that should have been used on specially made heavy crossbows.

These three pistols were all M92 model pistols with large stockpiles on Water Blue Star, using 9mm bullets, with a magazine capacity of 15 rounds.

They were once purchased in large quantities by Flower Flag Country for equipment, and as so many years passed, following the traditions of the Flower Flag Country military, they were treated as trash and resold through various channels, eventually drifting into the hands of the public.

Whether they are genuine or replicas, it is not strange for criminals to obtain them.

Compared to the decent-looking pistols, one of the long guns was a Double-barreled Shotgun, and the other was an Unbranded Shotgun.

Regarding these two... Su Ping chose the mindset of using them if he could, and replacing them if they broke.

At the same time, Su Ping also memorized the entire structure of these weapons, so that in the future, once he learned artifact crafting, he could follow the pattern and truly hand-craft them.

Su Ping also knew that on Water Blue Star, the difficulty of the weapon casing was actually not very high; the key was that bullets and primers were difficult to manufacture, which was a major threshold for individual weapons.

Fortunately, Water Blue Star was not peaceful.

And there was no truly unified Human Federation in existence.

In most regions of this planet.

As long as one had money and hard currency, buying bullets was not a difficult task.

Not to mention, once the swindling... the great cause of Immortal Fate got started, he wouldn't even need to buy them; he could just wait for the believers to deliver them to his door.

These few weapons now were merely a transition.

Su Ping put away his weapon, and after walking out of the practice room, he summoned the steward to learn about the mundane affairs of this period.

He heard the steward mention that many outsiders had come to Jinque City during this time.

Most of them were wealthy families from surrounding cities who had heard that Jinque City had an Inspector willing to get things done, and thus moved here for the sake of seeking refuge.

There was another portion, which consisted of refugees bringing their whole families along.

It was said that a major city in the north had suffered a once-in-a-millennium flood, and then encountered heavy snowfall compounded by Demon Beast rampages.

Batch after batch of Immortal Sect Cultivators had died.

The position of Inspector had been vacant even before the disaster struck.

No one had the time to pay attention to these mortals.

Unable to survive, they had no choice but to migrate toward the south.

Those who had arrived in Jinque City now were only the vanguard.

It was rumored that hundreds of thousands more refugees would follow.

Su Ping requested the relevant reports and read through them carefully.

He sighed in his heart that in this world, once the Immortal Sects were in chaos, those below were treated worse than pigs and dogs.

However, it was slightly different from his hometown; perhaps it was because the mortals in this world generally had better physiques than the lower classes on Water Blue Star.

At the same time, there were existences like martial artists who were close to being transcendent to maintain basic Order, and the various cities along the way mostly had grain reserves.

This greatly improved the situation for mortals fleeing over long distances, which would have resulted in dying all along the way on Water Blue Star.

"I am kind-hearted and cannot bear to see this."

Su Ping instructed the steward: "Seeing them reminds me of the days before I cultivated to become an Immortal."

"Forget it, take the valuable items from the storehouse and send them to the Ji Family, and tell Ji Hu to settle these people properly."

Upon hearing this, the steward hurriedly bowed in gratitude before withdrawing.

When the news spread, no one in Jinque City questioned whether the Inspector was being hypocritical.

In this day and age, what was the use of selling favors to refugees?

On the contrary, it was not impossible that this act of great kindness stemmed from genuine intent, considering the background of this Inspector.

Although such people were few, the Immortal Sects had existed for so many years that there were always a few with overflowing sympathy who would pity those mortals.

It was just like how some children of wealthy families would suddenly take pity on stray cats and dogs.

It was nothing strange!

Happy Children's Day to everyone! (σ≧▽≦)σ.
