Chapter 61

"This gun is my private collection, a 'Thunder Dragon' pistol imported from the Zijing Kingdom. The caliber is 7.8mm, larger than many rifles. The effective range is 30 meters. The advantage is great power, and the disadvantage is short range and great recoil."

Huang Weiguang looked at the wooden box in Li Fei's hand and said with a look of reminiscence:

"This gun was discontinued more than ten years ago. Now it's very difficult to get a Thunder Dragon in the Zijing Kingdom. More than ten years ago, when I first took office as Inspectorate Chief, your teacher gave me this gun. Now that I am about to retire, I am transferring it to you, which can be considered a kind of fate."

"Inspectorate Chief..."

Li Fei looked at Huang Weiguang and opened his mouth.

"Don't worry, I have already helped you handle the gun license; the certificate in the box is it."

Huang Weiguang said with a smile.

"Inspectorate Chief, this gift is too precious!" 【61

Hearing this, Li Lei, who was standing to the side, could finally no longer sit still and stood up as well.

Li Fei did not understand the preciousness of a gun license, but he understood it very clearly.

The Great Lan Dynasty had very strict requirements for the use of firearms.

Even in a force like the Inspectorate, ordinary inspectors were only allowed to carry guns when executing missions and were strictly forbidden from using them outside of mission periods.

In the entire Inspectorate, only officers at the level of squadron leader and above, like Li Lei, could obtain a gun license, allowing them to carry a gun at any time and granting them the right to use firearms in emergency situations.

And if one did not work in a force like the Inspectorate, the Martial Suppression Academy, or the Judiciary, it was even more difficult for others to obtain a gun license.

Do not be fooled by the fact that local powerhouses, noble families, and Jianghu sects could all get their hands on firearms; they dared not take them out to use unless necessary, because without a gun license, once they used a gun, they could potentially be caught by others.

Therefore, a gun license was something that all factions wanted to obtain.

In Li Lei's view, this gift from Huang Weiguang—that gun license—was even more precious than the Thunder Dragon handgun.

"Alright, I don't like it when people decline the things I give away. Accept it!"

Huang Weiguang waved his hand, signaling Li Lei not to say anything more.

"Then many thanks to the Chief Inspector for the gift; I will certainly cherish it well!"

Li Fei said solemnly to Huang Weiguang.

"Good, heroes emerge from the youth. Xiao Fei, the future belongs to you."

Huang Weiguang patted Li Fei.

"Prepare yourself; I am taking you to the Administrative Hall to meet Chief Gu."

Ten-odd minutes later, Li Fei sat in Huang Weiguang's car and headed to the Administrative Hall with him.

The building housing the Administrative Hall was very imposing; it was the tallest building in Xingcheng, with a total of twelve floors.

Huang Weiguang's official car stopped in the courtyard where the building was located, and the driver opened the car door for the two, allowing Li Fei and Huang Weiguang to step out.

"Let's go."

Huang Weiguang was clearly not here for the first time; he led the way in front quite skillfully, with Li Fei following behind him.

A few minutes later, the two sat down in a reception room, and someone brewed tea for them.

After waiting for about half an hour, the room door was pushed open, and Huang Weiguang and Li Fei stood up at the same time.

Walking in was a man wearing a black robe, sporting a beard, with an ordinary appearance but a great deal of dignity and presence.

"Chief Gu."

Huang Weiguang bowed slightly to pay his respects.

The person who arrived was none other than the number one big figure in Xingcheng, Chief Gu Zhenhui.

"Old Huang."

The other party walked up, shook hands with Huang Weiguang, and patted Huang Weiguang's arm.

Then he looked at Li Fei, who was to the side, and smiled:

"You are that student from the Martial Arts Hall, named Li Fei?"

Li Fei stood straight and said to Gu Zhenhui, neither servile nor overbearing:

"Martial Arts Hall student Li Fei, greets Chief Gu."

"Good."

Gu Zhenhui looked at the upright-looking Li Fei and nodded with satisfaction:

"Truly a man of talent."

He had met many young talents before, but these people would be more or less nervous and reserved after seeing him. Only Li Fei was the calmest and most composed young person he had met in all these years.

Based on this alone, he felt a few more points of appreciation for Li Fei.

He walked up to Li Fei, took the initiative to hold Li Fei's hand, and patted Li Fei's arm with his other hand:

"Young man, you did very well this time and made a great contribution to eradicating the evil sect. On behalf of the people of Xingcheng, I express my gratitude to you!"

His tone and demeanor were very sincere, not at all like he was speaking polite pleasantries.

Li Fei nodded forcefully: "As a student of the Martial Arts Hall, eradicating evil sects is a duty my generation cannot shirk!"

He already looked upright and awe-inspiring, and at this moment, saying this made people feel it was very credible and sincere.

"Good!"

Sure enough, Gu Zhenhui revealed an appreciative look:

"A talent like you should not be buried. I give you a promise here: as long as you can obtain a spot for the Martial Suppression Department at the university, at that time, besides the Martial Arts Hall giving you a scholarship, I will also give you another scholarship in the name of the Administrative Hall!"

Li Fei was overjoyed upon hearing this.

The scholarship provided by the Martial Arts Hall could at most allow a student to maintain the most basic martial arts cultivation in the university's Martial Suppression Department. If he could obtain one more scholarship, that would naturally be the best.

"Thank you, Chief Gu!"

Li Fei hurriedly thanked him.

"No need to thank me; if you can fight for the spot, it means you are worthy of this scholarship."

Gu Zhenhui said with deep meaning.

Then he turned around and reached out to the secretary behind him, who handed him a wooden box.

"This is the reward given by the Administrative Hall for the contribution you made in this operation to eradicate the Anshen Sect."

Gu Zhenhui handed the wooden box to Li Fei with both hands, and Li Fei received it with both hands.

The gift Huang Weiguang gave him earlier was also packed in a wooden box, only the styles of the two wooden boxes were different.

He felt that the price of these two wooden boxes alone should not be too low.

"I heard that you use a steel armor implant, so what is in this box is a bottle of Iron Origin Pills."

Gu Zhenhui said to Li Fei.

Although Li Fei did not know what the Iron Origin Pills were for, the fact that the other party had specifically investigated the implant he used before choosing to give such an elixir meant that it was definitely helpful to him, and the quality was certainly not low.

"Thank you, Chief Gu!"

"Don't be polite. Young talents like you need to grow up as quickly as possible so that the future of my Xingcheng will have more hope."

Gu Zhenhui smiled and patted Li Fei.

Next, he chatted with Li Fei kindly for a few more sentences before sitting down, looking as if he had something to discuss with Huang Weiguang.

At this moment, the male secretary who had been standing behind him politely came to Li Fei's side:

"Student Li, please come this way."

Thus, Li Fei followed this secretary out of the room and soon entered another reception room.

"Student Li, please wait here for a moment."

"Alright."

After the male secretary left, Li Fei sat quietly in the room waiting.

A few minutes later, the room door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a very capable temperament, somewhat cold eyes, and wearing a gray robe walked into the room.

He walked straight to Li Fei's side, sat down, and quite directly showed his credentials to Li Fei:

"Hello, I am Cheng Bi, a Level 4 Inspector of the Supervisory Academy. I have some matters to discuss with you next."
