Chapter 91: The Gathering of Wisdom
The number of people at the Shooting Club has indeed increased quite a bit recently, likely because they were impacted by the displaced persons; many nobles found ways to obtain entrance tickets to the Shooting Club, and Yezi, who introduced people to the club, did not seem out of place.
"I am very happy that you can introduce new people to us to engage in the sport of shooting." The receptionist kept a very polite smile, "Our Shooting Club happens to be undergoing expansion in the near future, and there is an event going on right now where you can have one month of membership fees waived."
"That would be truly wonderful." Zuola said with a grin, "But ammunition still requires extra fees, right?"
"Upon joining, you can enjoy 30 bullets a week, and after that, each bullet is charged at a price of 1 Bell." The receptionist said with a smile, "Currently, all our items are sold at the prices of the Royal Capital. If you need to purchase a handgun, you can also contact us directly for a custom order."
"How much is a handgun?" Zuola said with interest.
"An ordinary ladies' handgun costs 300 Xide; if you need it customized, the price will vary." The receptionist continued, taking out a booklet from behind, which contained all the firearms currently available for sale, ranging from 300 Xide up to 10,000 Xide.
Yezi had also seen this booklet; it was simply too expensive, which meant a single handgun cost at least about 3 Gold Tana. For nobles, this might not be a big problem, but for commoners, it was definitely a price they could not afford.
Even for a dancer like her, if she wanted to buy one, she would need to save up for at least a month, and that would depend on whether there were any tips from nobles and whether there were any current teaching tasks.
Thinking about the current price of grain, one knows how much grain this handgun costs; it is no wonder that everything here must be settled in Xide.
Zuola flipped through it for a while, took a fancy to a revolver inlaid with rubies priced at 2,600 Xide, and closed the booklet with satisfaction.
"If I order it now, about how long will it take to arrive?"
"It will only take about a week." A joyful smile appeared on the receptionist's face, "We will also gift you 100 bullets for free."
Just after the order was placed, Miss Philip also came in from outside. She saw Yezi and Zuola at a glance and greeted them politely.
"I am happy to see another friend who has taken a liking to shooting." Miss Philip had recently grown a bit more fond of Yezi; firstly, she was willing to spend time practicing shooting, and secondly, she was working very hard to learn.
It seemed as if she had some kind of talent; Yezi's talent for shooting was quite good, which made Miss Philip look at her with new eyes.
This was not to say that Yezi had really been training at the shooting range for long, but rather that she had conducted some training in real life.
In any case, conducting shooting training in reality was much cheaper than in the game, and of course, the firearms were also better. However, Yezi wanted to use the most primitive revolvers for shooting training, and the people at the shooting range were very happy to provide some help.
Therefore, Yezi's performance at the shooting range was good; at least in Miss Philip's heart, this person truly liked shooting, unlike those other women who approached her.
"Thank you, I am very happy to learn a few things from Yezi. To be honest, I didn't think Teacher Yezi would practice shooting before, but now that I think about it, her choice was right." Zuola said with a smile, "I think if one doesn't become a Transcendental, using this method to protect oneself is quite good."
"Don't trust firearms too much; Transcendental Power is not something we can imagine." Miss Philip reminded her, "I am going inside for shooting training; would you like to join?"
"I would be very happy to." Yezi bowed; she could sense that there was more to Miss Philip's words.
A person who usually has no contact with Transcendental Power could not possibly say things like Transcendental Power is unimaginable.
In fact, it was not that Yezi had never encountered a Transcendental; in her view, not to mention a Transcendental like the Lord of Calamity, even a novice like Susan could not be easily defeated with a handgun.
Of course, someone like the Wealth Church could likely still be ambushed with a handgun.
Miss Philip looked around and then whispered to Yezi: "You have been here for a while now; in a moment, I will take you to a place you will definitely be interested in."
Huh, can the problem of the Hidden Task be solved so quickly?
A bit of joy appeared on Yezi's face, "Hearing you say that, I can hardly wait."
"Let's go, let's first teach Zuola the most basic practice." Miss Philip nodded, then led the two of them to the shooting range.
The area of the Shooting Club itself was very large, and recently they had also acquired two surrounding houses to carry out an expansion.
The underground shooting range here was mainly used for basic training, and there was also an outdoor training ground above ground. In addition to simple fixed-target practice, the outdoor training ground could also be used for live-target training.
Besides the training areas, there was also a coffee shop, a bar, a restaurant, and a lounge on the entire second floor.
Inside the lounge, there were individual rooms as well as collective rest rooms. Of course, there were some places Yezi had never been to, such as the third floor, which the staff indicated was not open.
It stood to reason that this should be the space where the Transcendental gather.
After Zuola had finished lunch and rested, Miss Philip pulled the somewhat tired Yezi to the third floor.
There were not gatherings of Transcendental every day here, especially recently, but with the Wealth Church's lack of control over the entire Transcendental force, the gatherings here could be considered a way to develop more newcomers.
Miss Philip felt that Yezi was a candidate very suitable to become a Transcendental; at least she was smart enough.
Yes, Miss Philip was a Believer of Wisdom. Although she looked relatively reckless, as if she were someone who only knew how to use force and not how to study, she was indeed a high-achieving student who had successfully graduated from university.
"I am very clear that you are very interested in Transcendental Power, and I also mentioned you at a previous meeting; we all believe that you can join us." Miss Philip explained her actions, "Of course, you can also choose to refuse now."
Become a Transcendental?
Yezi nodded; wasn't she here to do this task?
"Very well, then follow me." Miss Philip pushed open the door to the third-floor reception room directly. At this moment, many people were sitting inside.
The gathering here had no cover; it did not need to be done so secretly, and there were many people Yezi knew.
After all, she could be considered someone who had come into contact with high society, and what shocked Yezi was that Bishop Harriet Badley of the Wisdom Church was actually here.
