"Can’t change it."
Shu Li said seriously, "If you agree to it, I’ll send you Panqiu’s private photos."
Chen Lusi: "?"
"First Line!"
Suddenly, a sharp cry rang out.
Xia Panqiu instantly appeared behind Shu Li, grabbed her twin ponytails, and with a flushed face, raised her small fist to her head.
While punching Shu Li’s head, she pulled Shu Li back and, with her face blushing red, glanced at Chen Lusi and whispered, "Ignore her, she’s just an idiot."
Chen Lusi: "..."
What the hell...
"It’s really getting lively... Rare."
A voice suddenly ca over.
Chen Lusi withdrew his gaze and turned around.
Wu You had arrived beside him without him noticing and was watching the lively scene in the distance, seeming a bit emotional: "I hope it stays this lively afterward."
Chen Lusi nodded lightly, then realized sothing and asked, "Ready to depart?"
"Yes, could you co over for a bit?"
Wu You snapped back to reality, withdrew his gaze, and then took Chen Lusi to find Li Zheng.
Li Zheng and Zhou Jian stood together, holding a tablet, discussing sothing. When they noticed Wu You and Chen Lusi approaching, he looked up and said proactively, "I just t Yu Zhou, and the situation has changed. Headquarters is in a hurry. Once Yu Zhou is rested, we’ll set off tomorrow at noon."
Chen Lusi nodded slowly and had no objections to this.
"Let brief you on the current situation; this is our mission’s goal."
Li Zheng thought for a mont, then passed over the tablet: "At the northernmost point dostically, Ussuri Shallow, near the central passage of that famous Asian river to the north, across the river, is our neighbor, surrounded by primitive forests.
According to intelligence, the ’First Rider Position’ is located just across the river."
"Across the river?"
Chen Lusi frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Is this okay?"
"No problem."
Li Zheng shook his head, "We’ve already talked to the Empowerers on the other side. Strictly speaking, this is actually a cooperative action. They’ll send people too. After all, the ’First Rider Position’ Empowerer hiring organization is notorious.
They’re targeting Asia not just because of us; their main target is actually our neighbor, who has long wanted to clear these people out.
But their internal situation isn’t stable either, given that the Slavic people are known as the most disunited nation. Their cultural heritage differs, and their authority systems are worlds apart...
Internally, so also support the First Rider Position, and not only support but sell weapons to the ’First Rider Position.’
The ones working with us this ti... are mainly those on the hardline side. They’re willing to let us enter their border, and then go after the ’First Rider Position’ together."
"..."
Chen Lusi understood this with sudden clarity.
"...Since we’re on the topic of weapons, let continue."
After explaining, Li Zheng thought for a mont, then suddenly looked at Zhou Jian.
Zhou Jian drew the pistol from his waist and handed it to Chen Lusi.
Chen Lusi took it with curiosity, and after inspecting it, found the gun handed by Zhou Jian... very bizarre.
Moreover, Chen Lusi felt the gun’s structure was sowhat familiar...
"What is this?"
Chen Lusi looked up.
"Wu You said you’ve seen it, don’t you recognize it?"
Li Zheng was montarily taken aback, then pointed at the gun in Chen Lusi’s hand, which had no slide, no magazine, and instead had a row of vent holes on top, resembling a model gun, and introduced: "This type of weapon is called the ’Tip’... Without a magazine, but there’s Stone shards built inside. Its operation principle is simple: by triggering the properties of the Stone shards that absorb and contain Spirit, then compress and shoot the Spirit out, specifically to deal with Empowerers or activated legends.
This weapon’s lethality against Empowerers is higher than regular firearms because most Empowerers now know how to use ’Armor’ to block physical bullets.
But it also has many issues... For instance, it’s not durable and is entirely a disposable consumable. After all, what’s built inside are Stone shards, which can’t be replaced and are extrely fragile. After a few shots, it will likely break down before it can replenish automatically.
Most importantly, the firing range is short... Considering making such weapons requires ’Stones from an Empowerer capable of controlling Detached Technique,’ it’s essentially a luxury item."
"..."
Chen Lusi, after hearing this, lowered his head and inspected the gun again, then glanced at Xia Panqiu in the distance and finally understood where the sense of familiarity ca from.
Back then, during her test, the sniper rifle she took out seed to have the sa appearance...
"Are you saying... the weapons held by the ’First Rider Position’ are like this?"
Chen Lusi pondered and asked, raising the gun in his hand.
"Correct, they’re different from us. Kunlun can’t kill dostic Empowerers to harvest Stone for weapons, especially since crafting these weapons requires the distinctive Stones from those gifted Empowerers capable of Detaching Technique.
For such Empowerers, from a national perspective, keeping them alive is, in the long run, more efficient than carving out the heart to make a few guns.
The gun in your hand is from Mount Tai, who barely gathered enough materials after killing an old thing, thus the quantity isn’t much.
But for the ’First Rider Position,’ it’s the opposite; they don’t care about longevity, so in their hands... nearly everyone has a ’Tip’ weapon, so be cautious."
Chen Lusi nodded, then handed the handgun back to Zhou Jian: "So what do you need to do?"
He had roughly comprehended the situation.
And he didn’t believe Li Zheng was rely informing him to be cautious.
Li Zheng scanned the surroundings, seeing no one else nearby, refocused on Chen Lusi, and after a mont of silence, said: "After I sent the report yesterday, Ji Xin replied, saying Kunlun has also made a special ’Tip’ weapon for you."
"For ?"
"Yes, a sniper rifle, but no Stones inside."
"...You want to use my ability to absorb Spirit as a substitute for the Stone’s function?"
"Exactly, want to give it a try?"
