Gu Jianqiu returned to the room and glanced at the clock. He fainted for about ten minutes. Everything in the store is business as usual, and no one seems to be visiting.
He walked to the store, picked up a bolt rifle, and made a standard shooting action. The dark muzzle had a light blue electrocardiographic light flashing, but it soon calmed down.
There was no progress. Gu Jianqiu still had six basic ECGs, which was not up to the standard for using this explosive rifle.
"Sure enough it's not that easy."
Gu Jianqiu didn't dare to read "Nv Qing·Ghost Law" for a while. It would be bad if he fainted again or had other side effects, which would cause irreversible damage to his body.
Gu Jianqiu put down the bolt rifle and took out an old-school revolver from the cabinet next to it. This revolver only required five ECGs to be used. The power is equally impressive, and it is the one used by the red hat patrolmen on the hotel street.
Gu Jianqiu pointed the gun at himself in the mirror and narrowed his eyes.
Until 1890, when the Ji-Li people combined the technology of Celestial Beings to invent the first cardiac shield in the human world, the bodies of human Celestial Beings were quite fragile.
A Level IV human Celestial Official with over 100 ECGs driving a divine machine can destroy a medium-sized city in a few minutes, can circle the mother planet in an hour, and can even travel alone among the ancient stars. Gods and demons are no less willing to give in.
The old Rose Emperor Senero once said boldly: "I am on par with the gods."
He was the first Level IV heavenly official in human history. He led the unified Rose Empire to sweep across Europe two hundred years ago. He later died of syphilis, and the Rose Empire fell apart.
But even a heavenly official like Senelu, who stood at the pinnacle of the times, could be killed by an ordinary revolver if he was unprepared.
This is the limitation of this era and the romance of this era.
The common man became angry and blood spattered five steps...
Gu Jianqiu needs a gun. At least in this era before the cardiac shield has been invented, firearms are the most direct and effective means of violence, which can give him more confidence when protecting his family and investigating the cause of his eldest brother's death.
As for the fact that holding a gun and shooting a gun are serious crimes in Jiangning that can make people spend more than ten years in a hard labor camp, Gu Jianqiu, who has rebelled all his life in his previous life, obviously does not care.
Even guns are far from enough. If conditions were not really prohibitive, Gu Jianqiu even planned to cross the border to buy a second-hand war machine that had been in service...
He lowered the pistol to himself in the mirror and put it back on the shelf.
Don't be too hasty.
There were no visitors all afternoon. As Tom said, only foreign sailors from a few ports came to visit. They asked with words and gestures to purchase some ammunition and replace the aging and worn parts of the guns.
"In this case, you just tell him that the spark plugs are not for sale, so he can just buy a new gun! Those sailors got off the ship and are in a hurry to find prostitutes. Who will bargain with you? Do you want me to teach you?"
Tom Chen obviously had a bad day in dog fighting. Hearing that Gu Jianqiu only sold two spark plugs to Sailor Du Juan today, he was so angry that he slapped his thigh.
"Sorry boss, I don't have much experience."
Gu Jianqiu's expression looked a little embarrassed.
"Forget it. You're off work. I'll keep an eye on you tonight. By the way, has the dog been fed?"
"I fed the boss at noon."
"Come here! Fire!"
The two front paws of the thin dog immediately jumped on Tom's knees, sticking out his tongue and licking Tom Chen's chin.
It has a flaming coat, and the name Huo Huo is appropriate for the fighting dog, although now this dog can no longer go to the dog fighting ring for people to gamble.
Tom rubbed the hair on the thin dog's back and poured a large pot of minced meat for it: "Eat more, this is your last meal here."
Gu Jianqiu closed the glass door and said remotely: "I'll see the boss tomorrow."
"Um."
After watching Gu Jianqiu leave, Tom turned around and looked at his spotless military store. He was quite satisfied with Gu Jianqiu, but he still muttered: "Three thousand and three months a month, isn't it too expensive?"
Gu Jianqiu left the hotel street, walked for ten minutes, and waited for the tram under the stop sign.
It's not dark yet, and the neon lights of the street dance halls are already shining brightly. Through the glass curtain wall, you can see well-dressed men and women chatting and laughing. Two turbaned Pauline men guarded the door with guns and ammunition.
There are little girls selling flowers and windmills on the streets, their clothes patched.
Foreign managers wore suits with stand-up collars and meticulously styled hair. They walked out of the ballroom surrounded by dressed-up girls. They bought a rose for the beauties around them and won bursts of smiles with their sweet words. When they passed by the unkempt beggars under the telephone poles , he casually took out a few coins from his pocket and threw them on the beggar.
Suddenly, a harsh low whistle came from the broadcast center in the capital of Jiangning, interrupting the singing and dancing in front of the ballroom.
Wild pigeons are stimulated by the low singing, raise their wings and fly high, leaving scattered feathers falling.
The men and women looked at each other in bewilderment.
The thin child wearing a newsboy hat raised the newspaper in his hand, and the straw sandals with cracked ropes under his feet stepped on the water accumulated last night, causing large stains.
"Outside, outside, Taibai Ancient Star has been lost!"
"Outside, outside, Taibai Ancient Star has been lost!"
The manager, who had just walked out of the ballroom, shook off his female companion's hand and snatched a newspaper like crazy. His suit was instantly soaked with sweat.
Taibai Ancient Star is the main origin of the "Heart Glaze" ore imported by the Haitang Empire. If Haitang's route to Taibai Ancient Star is cut off, the Empire's annual import of Heart Glaze raw ore will be reduced by more than one-third...
"Sir, you haven't paid me yet!"
The newsboy tugged at the manager's clothes and yelled.
"Give me one too."
Gu Jianqiu pursed his lips and walked to the newsboy. He had won a bill contract worth more than one million yuan a few days ago. Now that the news of the defeat on the front line has spread, the price of heart glaze will soon soar. It is logical that he will make a lot of money. One stroke, but there was no look of joy on Gu Jianqiu's face.
After paying the money, Gu Jianqiu unfolded the newspaper, and what came into view was a line of large characters: "The Dingyuan Army was defeated by the Jinju Army, and the commander Ding Xianda committed suicide."
Gu Jianqiu raised his face and saw the date of today's newspaper, only to realize that it had been almost a month since he was reborn.
Today is May 10th, 1884. The Jinju people captured the Haitang Empire's last satellite fortress "Weihai" on the ancient planet Taibai, thus declaring Haitang's complete defeat in the Jiashen War. The Weihai Navy of 20,000 people More than half were damaged, thousands of divine machines became rubble in space, and Haitang's important weapon "Three Altars of the Sea God" fell into the hands of the Jinju people.
Ji Li people's war reporters took pictures of the "Santan Haikaishen" being tied up with steel cables, being pulled by the "Crow Tengu", "Nara" and "Saikyo Maru" together, and sailing into the Jinju people military port, which was published in the world's most popular magazine On the front page of Military Magazine.
That photo was cited in textbooks by later generations of the Haitang Republic as a century-old national humiliation.
After that, the rise of Jinju, which was about to explode, could no longer be stopped. After Haitang was defeated at the hands of the Jili people 21 years ago, it was once again defeated by the Jinju people. From then on, it would no longer be the glory of the four great powers of mankind. , began the near-hundred-year-long decline of the national destiny...
