“M1911 semi-automatic pistol, a relic left over from the First East-West War.”

“Classic firearms from the former American Union, durable and sturdy, the value lies in their affordability. What do you think?”

As the shopkeeper spoke, he handed Nancy a firearm she was all too familiar with. His mouth twitched slightly as Nancy chose to decline.

This pistol was quite famous in her previous life, but in terms of power, it didn’t meet Nancy’s current needs.

However, behind Nancy, Hattori showed an interested expression toward the gun. But upon seeing Nancy shake her head slightly towards him, he chose to observe first.

“Hmm… not interested? Well then, come this way. The weapons here are a bit pricier.” After a moment of contemplation, the shopkeeper led Nancy to a small compartment inside.

“Click!” The lights flickered on, and Nancy saw rows of bulletproof gun cabinets. Through the transparent bulletproof glass, she could see sharp small firearms displayed inside.

“Miss, are you from the Shenhuan Empire?” The shopkeeper asked as he opened the gun cabinet.

“Sort of.” Nancy nodded. In this world, the Shenhuan referred to Asia after being unified by Huaxia. Strictly speaking, she was indeed from the Shenhuan Empire.

“I’ve noticed that people from Shenhuan are quite attached to their families. So, I’ll show you some weapons from the Eastern Shenhuan Empire.” The shopkeeper said as he lifted the top cover of the gun cabinet.

Initially, Nancy didn’t hold much hope, after all, the Huaxia of this world was not the same as her previous life’s Huaxia. Firearms and weapons would definitely not have commonalities. But when Nancy saw the weapons in the gun cabinet clearly, her eyes couldn’t look away.

In total, there were only two firearms displayed in the gun cabinet, one long and one short, a submachine gun and a pistol respectively.

“Type 82 9mm submachine gun. The Type 82 9mm submachine gun is a product of the Eastern Shenhuan Empire imitating the Western WZ63 9mm submachine gun. It does not have a separate selector switch mechanism but achieves single or automatic fire by pulling the trigger and relying on the trigger stroke. This gun has a unique structure and a compact appearance, making it a distinctive submachine gun.”

“Type 92 pistol. This pistol particularly emphasizes human-machine efficiency design. Comparable to similar pistols from Westlake and Basileus, although this gun still has differences in craftsmanship and lifespan, it is very suitable for Shenhuan people’s hand shapes.”

While introducing these two relics from the Second East-West War, the shopkeeper observed Nancy’s reaction.

“Well, miss, since you seem to know about guns, what do you think of these two?”

Nancy didn’t answer the shopkeeper’s question. She stared blankly at the two firearms she was all too familiar with, then finally uttered:

“Damn…”

………………

“Come on, miss, give them a try.” The shopkeeper handed Nancy soundproof earmuffs, then handed her the submachine gun.

Nancy didn’t hesitate. As a former member of the National Defense Army, her familiarity with firearms was beyond doubt. As soon as she held the firearm, the familiar feeling rushed to her heart. Nancy immediately adjusted her posture and aimed at a fixed target fifty meters away.

“You’ve had training, miss. Your posture is quite standard…” Before the shopkeeper could finish his admiration, Nancy had already pulled the trigger.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Three rapid shots, three accurate hits within the bullseye, one of them hitting dead center.

After shouldering the submachine gun, Nancy swiftly drew the Type 92 from her waist. In a second, she aimed and fired three more shots. This time, her performance was even better than with the submachine gun: two shots hit dead center, one within the bullseye.

“…” The shopkeeper opened his mouth, then turned around to start the moving target. Nancy followed suit, testing how these two firearms felt against moving targets. They passed with flying colors.

As for Hattori, he performed decently. In Nancy’s eyes, his marksmanship could only be considered passable.

“Miss, this… if it weren’t for your high school uniform, I would’ve suspected you’re an active soldier. So, what does your family do?” The shopkeeper asked half-jokingly.

“No parents at home. Just made good at shooting because the world is chaotic.” Nancy shook her head and said.

“Alright,” The shopkeeper didn’t take Nancy’s words seriously, but he was only responsible for selling guns. “If there are no issues, these two fellows are yours.”

“Oh, by the way, miss, do you have a firearm license?” The shopkeeper asked afterwards.

Nancy naturally shook her head in denial.

“Any specific requirements? I happen to have connections and can get you a Level Two Firearms License. With those two buddies in your hands, you’ll be all set,” the shopkeeper said with a grin.

In Tianzhou City, firearms licenses are divided into three levels. A Level Three Firearms License only allows the possession of civilian hunting weapons, while a Level Two allows for ordinary gunpowder and electric weapons. As for Level One…

Level One Firearms Licenses are usually issued to Supernatural Police Chiefs. They are equipped with taboo weapons against ability users and demons, making them the most difficult to obtain.

Nancy naturally bought the firearms license on a whim. However, obtaining a firearms license takes time. The proof of firearms license will be sent to Nancy’s personal terminal in about half a month.

Two firearms, a submachine gun and a pistol, with 120 rounds of submachine gun ammunition and 50 rounds of 9mm pistol ammunition, plus a Level Two firearms license and accompanying holster, depleted all of Nancy’s current assets.

Finally leaving the gun shop, Nancy finally heard the prompt from Candy.

【Ding dong, the host’s comprehensive power value has reached 130 points, completing the combat skill mission.】

【The host is hereby granted a free opportunity to choose combat skill. Would you like to use it immediately?】

Upon hearing Candy’s words, Nancy was slightly stunned. She looked around and asked:

“Candy, what will happen if I use it now?”

【If you use this opportunity immediately, I will transport you to the stagnant area to choose combat skills. Time outside will not flow during your operation, so the host can rest assured to choose.】

“Is that so?” Nancy nodded. It would make things easier. She didn’t have to worry about being knocked out and taken away while AFK. Besides, she was a bit impatient: “In that case, I choose to use the opportunity to choose combat skills immediately.”

【Ding dong, instruction received, initiating transmission…】

Nancy suddenly felt a whirlwind sensation, much like the feeling of riding a roller coaster. After a moment, she immediately regained her senses. At this moment, looking around again, Nancy found herself in a chaotic space.

All around her was chaos and void. Under her feet was a silver disc, about fifty square meters in size.

“Please, host, begin selecting combat skills.”

At this moment, a gentle female voice sounded in Nancy’s ears, causing her, who was accustomed to cold system prompts, to shiver.

“Who are you?” Nancy asked subconsciously.

“I’m Skyler, the system spirit responsible for guiding you in using the system.”

“Would you like to activate combat skills selection?”

The gentle voice asked patiently again.

“Alright… alright, activate it.” Nancy nodded dumbly.

“Warning, this time the selection of combat skills is completely random. The system will randomly select six combat skills of undetermined grade from the database. There is no guarantee for this selection. Good luck to the host.”

What the heck? So, it’s all up to luck what combat skills I get? How can this doggone system be so deceptive?

【Ding dong, detecting the host’s system abuse, punishment initiated, changing the number of combat skills to be selected to: three.】1

Nancy: “System, do you have a family?”

System: 【I’m sorry, this system is an AI program and has no blood relatives.】

Before Nancy’s eyes, the starry sky changed, and three streaks of light flew out…

There’s a golden one!

Wow! Jackpot!
