All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes

80: Chapter 80 Military Core and Drones 80: Chapter 80 Military Core and Drones “Six pieces of crap, and if three out of ten are somewhat new, consider it a blessing!”

Iron Hand waved his hand dismissively, “You can tell you’re not skilled at bargaining.

That’s enough; I won’t cheat you.”

“But I really haven’t used it!”

“Not using it is correct, this thing can devour all the safe and usable Spirit Qi of a Qi Refinement beginner Cultivator.

You, a Spirit Awakening apprentice, would find it difficult even to activate it.”

Iron Hand pondered, “It seems like a Luofu Group’s small team died in the Wilderness, and you got lucky.”

Rubbing his temples, the Great Han closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then stood up and went to the warehouse to fetch two guns.

“Icefall Type-B Fire Gun, special bullets, extremely stable trajectory.

On impact, they freeze the wound, and they make almost no sound when fired, perfect for hunting skittish prey.”

“And the Eagle Eye Type-3 Sword Sheath, capable of long-distance control and trajectory adjustment, similar to a drone, but very energy-consuming.”

After taking them out, Iron Hand said gravely, “I think I know your goal: to hunt the Fire Crows, right?

The mission issued by the Pioneering Bureau is indeed tempting, fifty Good Deeds for a single Fire Crow—I myself am tempted to hunt a couple.”

“However, venturing deep into the Wilderness is too dangerous, I value my life.”

“Anyway, both this gun and this sword sheath meet your requirements.”

“But, compared to that Chongming Sword Sheath you have, both are far outclassed.”

“Really?” An Jing nonchalantly filed away the information that ‘the Pioneering Bureau is offering a high reward for Fire Crows’.

He was pleased that his needs could be misconstrued in such a reasonable way by the other party.

But honestly, when he realized the actual name of his ‘Spiritual Light Gun’ was a Sword Sheath, An Jing found it slightly difficult to maintain composure.

——There are really Sword Sheaths?

Wait, your guns are actually classified as a type of flying sword and Sword Sheath!

Unable to stop himself from inwardly criticizing, An Jing carefully examined the two long guns that Iron Hand was showing.

The first, the ‘Icefall Type-B’, was a very traditional long-barreled rifle in appearance, with a special aiming scope and barrel that glowed faintly, clearly a Magic Artifact.

The second ‘Eagle Eye Sword Sheath’ was indeed as Iron Hand described, nearly identical to the Sword Sheath An Jing had obtained from the Ruins Cave, just a size smaller.

It looked like a metal rail accelerator with a handle, and in the middle was a white jade crystal.

The only difference was that Iron Hand’s Eagle Eye Sword Sheath came with three sword-like bullets.

——So that’s it, the decaying small daggers on the corpses in the ruins were Sword Sheath bullets!

With this comparison, An Jing suddenly understood.

The principle of the Sword Sheath was simple, the two metal rods were rail tracks to accelerate the small flying sword bullets, and the central jade crystal was not only the accelerator core but also a controller for the flying swords’ trajectory.

Although when there are no specialized flying sword bullets, the Sword Sheath can still launch Sword Light, which was the Spiritual Light An Jing had seen before, the power is greatest when using the specialized flying sword bullets.

——A Fire Gun is a Fire Gun, a Sword Sheath is a railgun!

“I’m not lying to you, the Eagle Eye series is modeled after the Chongming series, and the Military Core of the Chongming series is far superior to Eagle Eye in every way.

If you have that device, get a Spirit Qi Furnace for power, and you won’t need to buy any guns from me.”

Iron Hand looked at the Chongming Sword Sheath in An Jing’s hand, his expression very clear.

An Jing guessed what he was about to say and went along with it, “It can’t be that easy, right?

Just to start it up, one needs to buy a Spirit Qi Furnace, and the follow-up would surely be more complicated.”

“Since this Sword Sheath is military-specialized equipment, the operating system must also be specialized, and a Wilderness person without a chip like me can’t use it, right?”

As expected, Iron Hand smiled at this moment, “It can be used, but it needs to be hacked.”

Knowing An Jing was a Wilderness person, he kindly explained the related concepts to An Jing.

In the Tianyuan Realm, many pieces of equipment, such as complicated Magic Artifacts like Sword Sheaths, required permissions to use.

Equipment belonging to others would lock up without permissions.

In short, equipment obtained through robbery or theft can’t be used immediately.

Of course, where there’s a lock, there’s a way to break it.

Besides that, there’s also ‘Soul Snatching’, a particular method aimed at the soul aspect, directly solving permission issues.

Though costly, the advantage is safety, and it ensures no errors during hacking, preventing the desired item from self-destruction.

Naturally, Iron Hand wasn’t a Soul Snatcher; he was a law-abiding businessman, at most involved in hacking activities.

And, as it happened, he was very interested in the Chongming Sword Box that An Jing held.

“Here’s the deal.”

Iron Hand tapped on the counter with his finger, thought for a moment, and then said, “Considering Qing’s sake, I won’t charge you much.

Brother An, you leave the sword box with me for a day, and I’ll help you break the security.”

“That offer is too good, it feels somewhat unreal,” An Jing said thoughtfully, “You stand to gain quite a bit as well.”

Iron Hand did not directly answer the question, but slowly said, “Opportunities to break into a military core aren’t commonplace, but others might not dare to do it.”

“Honestly, across the Floating Dust Plains, there are no more than five people who dare to, and can actually, break into Luofu Group’s stuff, and I’m one of them.”

“How about this, since you’re so capable, boss.”

An Jing’s mouth curled up, “I’ll sell you this sword box, and you give me that Eagle Eye and Icefall.

What do you say?

I think you’ll definitely profit from it.”

“Ha,” Iron Hand laughed as well, “I’m not a wilderness man.

I can’t explain why I’d have a military sword box; we folks aren’t authorized to privately own such things, just waiting to be summoned by the Sky Surveillance Bureau.”

“Plus, this sword box of yours is very old.

I’d have to help you break the security, rewire the circuit, and repair the formation.

I’m not even charging you for that service.”

An Jing could tell that Iron Hand Boss was quite favorable towards him.

It was not just because he had saved Huo Qing; there was good faith towards him as well.

Was it because of his strength?

Or did he display any particular qualities?

Or could it be, the influence of the Heavenly Mandate?

The youthful mind shook slightly; he didn’t want to think too much about it for the moment.

And for the Chongming Sword Box, An Jing could tell that the other party was indeed very interested in this product of the Luofu Group.

As for what intrigued him the most, An Jing believed it was the ‘military core.’

The other party must have some personal reasons, very much in need of cracking into this military core to verify some matters.

——Could he be planning to use the military port for some operations?

“Alright then.”

The thought was fleeting in his mind; in reality, An Jing agreed directly, “But I’ll take a complete set of flying sword bullets, replacement parts, and various supplies.”

At that, An Jing had an inspiration, “If…

you have drones, I’d be interested in purchasing some as well.”

The Icefall Rifle and its accompanying calibration equipment, telescopic lens, along with Icefall Bullets, were altogether worth one hundred and forty-five Good Deeds.

The Eagle Eye Sword Box with a series of accompanying devices, totaled one hundred and seventy-five Good Deeds.

And a Spirit Qi Furnace capable of driving the sword box, the cheapest would cost one hundred and fifty Good Deeds, and the better ones even up to three hundred and twenty Good Deeds.

An Jing, without a chip, could only use tangible Good Deeds vouchers.

Even if Iron Hand Boss held him in high regard, this was still a time for haggling, “You don’t have a chip, so I’ll need to charge a cash tax and many other fees.”

“Your spoils of battle are plentiful, but even considering you helped Qing, at most I can give you…

eight hundred and fifty Good Deeds.”

Eight hundred and fifty Good Deeds, enough to buy weapons, a Spirit Qi Furnace as well as food supplies, with some left over to take care of other matters.

But An Jing was well aware that he needed more than just weapons and supplies.

In a world that could even create remote controlled sword boxes, it wouldn’t make sense not to be able to make drones.

And if An Jing had drones, his advantage in intelligence in the Embracing the Void realm would be enormous.

“No.”

Unfortunately, Iron Hand shook his head, “Bullets and other supplies I can give you; they’re cheap, but drones are rather high-tech Artifacts, and I don’t have the sales credentials for those.”

“In fact, any ‘legal’ drones, only three specialized companies in the city can sell them.”

“Legal?” An Jing sharply picked up on the meaning of this term, which Iron Hand appreciated, “Yes, legal.”

“Someone from the wilderness like you, without even the qualifications to enter the city, it’s basically impossible to get a decent drone.”

“Unless…

you go to the Black Market.”
