Chapter 94: Gun Permit

"This gun is my personal collection, a 'Thunder Dragon' pistol imported from the Purple Thorn Kingdom. It has a 7. mm caliber, larger than many rifles, and an effective range of 30 meters. Its advantage is high power, while its disadvantages are short range and heavy recoil."

Huang Weiguang looked at the wooden box in Li Fei's hands, his eyes filled with reminiscence as he said:

"This gun went out of production over a decade ago; it's very hard to get a Thunder Dragon in the Purple Thorn Kingdom now. When I first took office as Chief Inspector, your teacher gave me this gun. Now that I am about to step down, I am passing it on to you; it can be considered a form of fate."

"Chief Inspector."

Li Fei looked at Huang Weiguang and opened his mouth.

"Don't worry, I have already handled your gun permit for you; the certificate in the box is it."

Huang Weiguang said with a smile.

"Chief Inspector, this gift is truly too precious!"

Li Lei, who was to the side, finally couldn't sit still upon hearing this and stood up as well.

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

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

Even in a force-wielding institution like the Inspectorate, ordinary inspectors could only carry guns when executing missions, and using firearms outside of missions was strictly prohibited.

In the entire Inspectorate, only officers at the level of squadron leader or above, like Li Lei, could obtain a gun permit, 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 for force-wielding institutions like the Inspectorate, the Cease-Arms Court, or the Justice Court, it was even more difficult for others to obtain a gun permit.

Don't look at how local powerhouses, noble families, and martial arts sects could all get their hands on firearms; they wouldn't dare take them out and use them unless necessary, because without a gun permit, once they used a gun, they could be caught by others.

Therefore, a gun permit was something that all parties wanted to obtain.

In Li Lei's view, the gift Huang Weiguang gave was even more precious because of that gun permit than the Thunder Dragon pistol itself.

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

Huang Weiguang waved his hand to tell 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. Little Fei, the future belongs to you."

Huang Weiguang patted Li Fei.

"Prepare yourself; I will take you to the Administration Hall to see Chief Gu."

Ten-plus minutes later, Li Fei boarded Huang Weiguang's car and headed to the Administration Hall with him.

The building housing the Administration 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 doors for the two, letting Li Fei and Huang Weiguang get out.

"Let's go."

Huang Weiguang clearly wasn't here for the first time, leading the way skillfully while Li Fei followed behind him.

A few minutes later, the two sat down in a reception room, and someone had already 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 very dignified and imposing manner.

"Chief Gu."

Huang Weiguang bowed slightly in greeting.

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 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 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 gained 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 cult. On behalf of the people of Xingcheng, I express my gratitude to you!"

His tone and expression 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 cults is a duty my generation cannot shirk!"

He already looked upright and awe-inspiring, and saying this at this moment made him seem very credible and sincere.

"Good!"

Sure enough, Gu Zhenhui showed 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 Cease-Arms Department at the university, at that time, besides the scholarship the Martial Arts Hall will give you, I will also give you another scholarship in the name of the Administration Hall!"

Li Fei was delighted upon hearing this.

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

"Thank you, Chief Gu!"

Li Fei hurriedly thanked him.

"No need to thank me. If you can secure the spot, it means you are worthy of this scholarship."

Gu Zhenhui said with deep meaning.

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

"This is the reward from the Administration Hall for the contribution you made in this operation to eradicate the An Shen Cult."

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 in a wooden box, though the styles of the two 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 Elixir."

Gu Zhenhui said to Li Fei.

Although Li Fei didn't know what the Iron Origin Elixir was for, the fact that the other party had specifically investigated the implant he used before choosing to give such an elixir meant it must be helpful to him, and the quality must certainly not be low.

"Thank you, Chief Gu!"

"Don't be polite. Young talents like you need to grow up quickly so that the future of my Xingcheng can 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, appearing as if he had matters to discuss with Huang Weiguang.

At this time, 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 and left the room, then 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 door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a capable temperament, cold eyes, and wearing a gray robe walked into the room.

He walked straight to Li Fei's side and sat down, then very straightforwardly showed his credentials to Li Fei:

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