Chapter 474: I Sell Movie Props—That Should Be Reasonable, Right?

"You're saying this… is a movie prop?"

In the warehouse, Liu Ruiming wore a solemn expression, inspecting them one by one.

"That's right." Su Meng said dismissively.

"I'm preparing to shoot 'The Wandering Earth' next. It's a big sci-fi film, and these are all the props I've prepared."

Liu Ruiming took a deep breath, his voice a little complicated.

"Your props… are way too lifelike…"

Duan Jiangping walked over, his face full of grievance.

"Su Meng, you didn't even give me a heads-up. Look at the mess today…"

Su Meng glanced at him and cried out in surprise.

"Huh? Boss, why'd you change into a different pair of pants?"

Duan Jiangping froze, nearly cursing out loud.

Damn it, why do you always poke at the one thing that hurts?

How could I possibly tell you I just peed my pants from you scaring me?

Does my boss's dignity mean nothing?

……

"Staff Officer Liu, I've inspected it!"

Shi Dazhi walked over carrying that gun with a strong sci-fi vibe.

"This gun is just a prop, not a real weapon, and it has no lethality!"

Oh? Su Meng instinctively glanced at Wang Xiaofei.

Wang Xiaofei secretly winked at him, and Su Meng immediately understood.

Obviously Wang Xiaofei's props had a sense of proportion; he hadn't brought out any real weapons.

Yes, Su Meng now had no doubt that Wang Xiaofei absolutely had that capability.

After all, the system's warning was no joke!

Hearing him say that, Liu Ruiming's expression finally relaxed a little.

"However…" Shi Dazhi hesitated, then continued.

"The way these guns are made… if they fall into the hands of someone with bad intentions and get modified a bit, they could possess considerable lethality!"

What? The expressions of the others turned solemn again.

Su Meng was also a bit dumbfounded.

"Big brother, I'm just making some props to shoot a movie here. Do you have to take it that seriously?"

Liu Ruiming glanced at him, his expression still very solemn.

"After I get back, I'll report this to the higher-ups."

"My personal opinion is that it's best to let the military participate in this film too."

Huh? Su Meng was instantly stunned.

Liu Ruiming shook his head and continued explaining.

"Even though they're fake guns, the appearance is just too intimidating. This already amounts to suspected illegal manufacture of replica firearms."

"And if someone really wanted to frame you, the fact that they could be modified to possess lethality alone would be enough to count as illegal manufacturing and storage of firearms!"

"Under our country's current laws, the minimum sentence is three years!"

What the heck?

Su Meng was completely dumbfounded. He just wanted to shoot a movie, so how did it become a minimum of three years?

Duan Jiangping also got anxious.

"Staff Officer Liu, don't scare me like that."

"Su Meng is still so young, he can't bear such a heavy charge!"

Liu Ruiming nodded and continued.

"So my personal opinion is to let the military participate."

"With the military backing us, some things become easier to handle."

"Of course, the decision is yours to make."

Su Meng lowered his head in thought, then slowly shook his head.

"This film is a bit special. It's better if the military doesn't get involved."

Seeing Liu Ruiming looking a bit puzzled, Su Meng chuckled.

"I want to use this film to make a push into the European and American markets."

"To let them know that people of Dragon Nation can also save the world."

"If the military gets involved too, knowing how those foreign devils are, this film would just… hehe…"

What? Duan Jiangping was instantly stunned speechless.
