Chapter 145: Why Does My Professional Panel Have an Anime Art Style?

Now he only needed to wait quietly.

Then two days passed just like that.

During those two days, Li Ang had not received any news of items being sold; instead, he received two messages.

【666, you're so desperate for money you'd dare price a Rank One craftsman's item this high.】

【LMAO, 'King of Bronze and Fire' — the name's pretty bold though.】

"?"

Li Ang felt he had perhaps overestimated the financial means of ordinary First Energy Level professionals.

And unusual professionals clearly had their own private custom orders, and wouldn't be opening blind boxes at his place — in the end, it was still the cost of having no reputation.

Just as Li Ang was hesitating whether he should lower the price, his communication device suddenly received a message.

It was from Ma Kusi.

【I had my men test the bullets you gave me earlier. If you're free tomorrow, you can come to the Security Bureau to discuss in detail.】

Seeing the message, Li Ang's heart leaped with joy.

To be honest, he hadn't really Hold too high expectations for this.

But he hadn't expected that before his own side had even opened for business, good news had come from Ma Kusi's side instead.

After a brief moment of thought, Li Ang used the remaining fire crystal to forge a pair of tiger claws, only this time the pseudo-concept he enchanted them with was 【Tenacity】.

He planned to give this pair of tiger claws as a gift to Ma Kusi — after all, the cost came to no more than two thousand Five-Star Radiant Coins.

First, to thank the other party for truly taking the previous matter to heart; second, to take the opportunity to have Ma Kusi help promote him.

After all, without any promotion, relying solely on himself, who knew when in the year of the monkey he'd close his first deal.

His pre-transmigration Taobao store still had to fake orders to boost exposure.

The next day, Li Ang arrived at the Security Bureau carrying an exquisite gift box.

After greeting Danika, he headed toward the director's office.

However, after knocking and entering, Li Ang discovered that the room didn't only contain Ma Kusi — there was also a woman he had never seen before.

Judging from the aura she was emanating, she was most likely a Second Energy Level powerhouse, the same as Ma Kusi.

Seeing Li Ang, Ma Kusi gestured for him to sit beside the woman: "You're here, sit."

But Li Ang first handed the gift in his hand to him.

Seeing this, Ma Kusi raised an eyebrow: "That's too polite of you."

Though he said so, he still took the gift box and opened it.

Upon discovering a pair of tiger claws with flowing fiery-red light on their surface inside, Ma Kusi immediately picked them up.

After fondling them for a while, he bared a wide grin of big white teeth: "I really like the gift, thank you."

This Security Bureau director could naturally tell that the pair of tiger claws in his hand were extraordinary items of extremely high completion, and could be considered fine pieces even among First Energy Level gear.

He hadn't expected that this former operative under him had such good talent in crafting.

After all, after Li Ang left the alchemy bullets that day, he had already looked up relevant information and knew that the young man before him had only been exposed to crafting knowledge for a short while.

Thinking of this, Ma Kusi placed the tiger claws back into the gift box: "I'll help promote you."

Everyone here was sharp; he naturally knew that besides gratitude, Li Ang's gift also carried the hope that he would do some promotion for him.

It was nothing more than sending a few messages — he wasn't going to refuse over that.

After some brief small talk, Ma Kusi introduced the identity of the woman beside him to Li Ang: "This is Commander Jin Minna of the City Guard."

Saying so, he shrugged: "You know, without special circumstances, the Security Bureau's consumption of bullets isn't actually that large."

"So those alchemy bullets were taken by Commander Jin, and today she's mainly the one looking for you."

Jin Minna was a middle-aged woman with a very harsh face; from her thin lips and that expressionless face, one could tell this great commander of the City Guard was not someone easy to get along with.

Hearing Ma Kusi mention her, she turned to look at Li Ang: "Regarding the matter of Kaide, I must thank you for your intervention."

For a moment, Li Ang couldn't tell if she was being sincere or being sarcastic.

At this moment, Ma Kusi's voice came over: "Commander Jin is usually like this, Li Ang, don't take it to heart."

Jin Minna seemed not to have heard Ma Kusi's words, and continued: "Those bullets—"

"Are very useful for the City Guard, but your production capacity probably can't keep up."

"So I hope you can sell the manufacturing method to the City Guard."

At these words, the director's office immediately fell silent.

After a good while, Li Ang finally opened his mouth to ask: "May I ask how big the shortfall is for the City Guard? If it's not particularly outrageous, I should be able to handle it."

Hearing this, Jin Minna did a brief estimation, then calmly uttered a number: "One hundred and fifty thousand rounds."

"Per day."

?

Sorry to bother you, I'll take my leave.

Although with the augmentation of Heaven and Earth as Furnace, Li Ang felt that if he pushed himself he might be able to do it, but then he could forget about doing anything else.

It was at this moment that Ma Kusi slightly furrowed his brow: "Has the situation already gotten this bad?"

Facing his inquiry, Jin Minna nodded: "Yes."

"Those bugs are getting more and more frenzied."
