After listening to him, Liu Mengyao picked up the two guns on the table; she had actually seen them as soon as she entered. She thought this was just her Junior Brother's hobby.
It's normal for men to like guns, but Martial Artists generally don't use hot weapons, so Liu Mengyao didn't even consider that possibility. She didn't expect Zhang Haoran to actually want to modify guns.
Moreover, his requirements were quite high: he wanted them to be able to threaten a Three-Rank Martial Artist. One must know that a Three-Rank Martial Artist has completed the tempering of all bones below the skull. Ordinary firearms pose little threat to a Three-Rank Martial Artist.
At this, Liu Mengyao found herself in a difficult position. Although she was from the Manufacturing Academy, she rarely dealt with firearms.
Liu Mengyao looked at Zhang Haoran and asked, "What, do you have a Three-Rank enemy? Do you want me and your Senior Brother to step in?"
Of course, he couldn't tell the truth. So he waved his hand and said, "Nothing of the sort. You know my combat power. Ordinary First Rank and Second Rank Martial Artists aren't much of a threat to me.
But when doing missions, anything can happen. Carrying a gun, my teacher told me to do this. Mainly, I'm afraid the opponent might have a gun and kite me."
Liu Mengyao nodded upon hearing this. Before reaching the Three-Rank Realm, Lu Fengrou had also cautioned her similarly. Don't think that Martial Artists are invincible.
There are many cases of ordinary people killing Martial Artists with hot weapons, so taking precautions is necessary.
Those wanted criminals are Martial Artists themselves, and with hot weapons, they indeed pose a significant threat.
Zhang Haoran took a sip of cola and continued, "These two guns feel too weak; they're basically useless. I just got them from the Detective Bureau, and it would be a shame if I didn't use them even once. So I want to modify them so I can at least use them before I reach the Three-Rank Realm."
Liu Mengyao lowered her head and thought for a while, then still shook her head.
"I don't know much about firearms. I understand what you're saying, but to modify a gun to threaten a Three-Rank Martial Artist, I suggest you get a submachine gun instead?"
Liu Mengyao thought about it and then felt that directly refusing wasn't good either.
"As for whether changing bullets to alloy warheads will increase power, that's for sure. But for the propellant, I'll have to go back and see what's suitable."
Zhang Haoran thought for a moment and felt that Liu Mengyao had a point. If a simple modification could truly deal with a Three-Rank Martial Artist, the people from the Detective Bureau would have used it long ago.
Besides, he wasn't really planning on killing people with a gun.
Zhang Haoran looked at Liu Mengyao and said, "Senior Sister, how about this? You use alloy to forge two guns for me. Make the bullets more powerful, and also try to change them to alloy warheads. We don't need the gun to actually be able to kill a Three-Rank Martial Artist.
But at least when I take it out, the opponent should feel that this gun can harm them. You also said you don't even know if the modified gun can harm a Three-Rank Martial Artist.
So if I take it out and others see it, they won't know how powerful this gun is. At least an alloy gun is very intimidating."
When Liu Mengyao heard Zhang Haoran say this, she felt there was no problem.
"That's no problem. What alloy do you plan to use? And what kind of gun do you want? Should your Senior Sister make you a submachine gun?"
"A submachine gun! Then make another submachine gun, but don't make it too big. It's inconvenient to carry. For the pistol, make it in the style of a Desert Eagle.
Actually, the most crucial one is the shotgun. Because your Junior Brother hasn't practiced gun skills, and I don't know how good my gun skills are. With a shotgun, I can at least hit something.
As for the Materials, I think C-level Alloy should be enough. The warheads, however, could consider using B-level Alloy; it won't use much anyway.
Two magazines for each weapon should be enough. We're not really going to war with them."
Zhang Haoran suddenly remembered what Liu Mengyao said when she arrived. Making so many alloy weapons himself. It won't be cheap, and this money can't come from Senior Sister.
He quickly added, "All expenses must be paid by me. Your Junior Brother is very rich now. But I won't give Senior Sister a labor fee. Who told you to be my Senior Sister?"
Liu Mengyao looked at Zhang Haoran's firm expression and knew that her idea of paying for the Materials was unlikely.
Liu Mengyao suggested, "Actually, the Material costs aren't as much as you imagine. Because we can't possibly use C-level Alloy for every single part.
Only the gun barrel would use C-level Alloy. For other parts, at most, I'll wrap them in a layer of C-level Alloy on the outside; D-level or E-level inside would be sufficient.
I'm not very familiar with firearms; I'll check the information later and ask my classmates as well."
Zhang Haoran nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, expressing his gratitude. "Then thank you, Senior Sister. Oh, by the way, roughly when can they be made? The sooner the better. I might have to go out on a mission in a couple of days."
Liu Mengyao thought for a moment.
"I'm not too sure about that, but since you're in a hurry, I'll try to speed things up."
The two chatted for a while longer, then Liu Mengyao got up to leave.
After seeing Liu Mengyao off, Zhang Haoran contacted Qiankun Dan Sheng. He had asked Liu Mengyao for help today, but he didn't have anything presentable to offer her.
He thought it over and over.
He felt that the peiyuan fruit Qiankun Dan Sheng mentioned earlier was good.
Peiyuan Pill cannot be given away; the amount of information contained within that item is too vast, and if it fell into the hands of someone knowledgeable, it would be troublesome.
But peiyuan fruit, strictly speaking, is just a type of energy fruit. energy fruits are relatively common in the catacombs; the appearance of an unfamiliar energy fruit would not arouse suspicion.
Moreover, peiyuan fruit cannot accelerate Cultivation speed nor increase Mental Energy. It shouldn't attract much attention.
However, its effect of strengthening the body and solidifying the Foundation Establishment is still very good.
Zhang Haoran contacted Qiankun Dan Sheng and explained the situation. He stated that he wanted to purchase a batch of peiyuan fruit, and of course, he wanted high-year ones as well.
Qiankun Dan Sheng immediately agreed. peiyuan fruit, as the main Material for Peiyuan Pill, is a fairly common and most basic spiritual fruit. People of even a little status would not use it to entertain guests.
Unless it's a peiyuan fruit over 30 years old, only those over a hundred years old are relatively rare.
Zhang Haoran asked, and found that peiyuan fruit is not highly valued. One to three years old are worth 15 value points. Four to nine years old are 20 value points. Ten to twenty-nine years old are 30 value points. 30-year-old ones are 100 value points. Qiankun Dan Sheng couldn't get anything higher.
peiyuan fruit over 30 years old will have a significant effect on the Foundation Establishment Stage. It is said that peiyuan fruit over a hundred years old will also be useful for the Golden Core Realm, and will have some special effects.
What Qiankun Dan Sheng had wanted to get for Zhang Haoran before was over a hundred years old.
Therefore, in the cultivation world, no matter which School, they are all cultivating peiyuan fruit in large quantities.
Moreover, this classification is only used among low-level Disciples. For slightly Advanced cultivators, there are only distinctions between 30 years and 100 years. Anything less than 30 years is classified as ordinary peiyuan fruit.
Zhang Haoran immediately transferred 1000 value points to Qiankun Dan Sheng. He first bought ten 30-value-point ones, then thirty 20-value-point ones. He tried to pick ones with higher years.
Qiankun Dan Sheng replied directly, "No problem, these are minor matters. I'll have someone pick out the good ones for you right away."
At the same time, Qiankun Dan Sheng sent over 500 bottles of Peiyuan Pill. The previous 300 bottles were almost sold out.
