“It should be easy to get guns in a place like this, right?”
In Lin Yi’s impression, Ruxia was a country where guns were legalized. It shouldn’t be difficult to buy these things.
“That’s true, but there are many harsh conditions.” Ning Che said.
“First of all, you can’t have a criminal record. Secondly, you need to have a document that proves your identity. In other words, your identity card. The two of us don’t have this, but it’s possible to forge it. However, in a foreign country, it won’t be good for us to reveal our identity. Coupled with the limited time, this option won’t work.
“Other than that, even if you manage to get fake identification, you can only buy things like rifles or submachine guns. This can’t be concealed. Pistols are explicitly forbidden here, so this matter is not as simple as you think.”
Lin Yi rubbed his chin. “If that’s the case, things are a little difficult.”
Ning Che raised her eyebrows. “But your expression betrays you. I don’t think you’re in a hurry at all.”
“Don’t say that. After all, we’re unfamiliar with this place.” Lin Yi said.
“Have you been here before?”
“I’ve been here a few times. I swam in the river with those Ruxians during the winter.”
“Oh man, if you wanted to take a winter swim, you could have just gone to Dongsan. Was it necessary to come here?”
“Don’t remind me. 1 was here for a mission, and after it was over, 1 had nothing to do, so 1 went to take a dip with some people. After swimming, I almost experienced premature menopause from freezing. Fortunately, Yulou found me a traditional Huaxian medicine practitioner; otherwise, my eggs would have shriveled up.”
Lin Yi secretly gave her a thumbs up. This was an impressive feat.
“Although pistols are prohibited, we should be able to get them through some special channels, right?”
Huaxia was a country that banned guns, but some people could still get them. It would be the same here. In fact, it might be even easier.
“We can find them on the black market, but our identities are not trusted here. It’s unlikely that anyone will be willing to help us contact them.”
“But there’s still hope, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Can you get in touch with someone about this?”
“That’ll be very simple. I just need to find a slightly larger gun shop. They all have these hidden channels. However, whether you can convince them will depend on your ability.”
“Let’s go. We’ll do it now.”
After packing up briefly, the two of them walked out of the hotel and found a nearby bank to exchange for some rubles. Then, they went to handle their business.
Led by the taxi driver, the two of them arrived at a weapons shop called Erosa.
The shop was very large and was divided into two floors. Each floor measured more than 200 square meters.
The first floor mainly sold field equipment, while the second floor sold weapons.
Lin Yi and Ning Che went up to the second floor and found the clerk.
“Is your boss here?”
After entering the shop, Lin Yi spoke in perfect Ruxian.
“He’s in there.”
The waiter pointed to a corner. Lin Yi and Ning Che saw a fat middle-aged man holding a deer skin and wiping the gun in his hand.
“Hello, I want to buy a pistol.”
Walking in front of the middle-aged man, Lin Yi didn’t waste any time and told him the purpose of his trip.
“I’m sorry, we don’t sell those things here. You can look at our other stuff.”
“I need you to help me contact the people who do.”
The middle-aged man carefully sized up Lin Yi and Ning Che, wanting to read them.
However, their expressions did not change at all. They did not let the other party spot anything.
“I’m sorry, 1 didn’t know about this. You’re asking the wrong person.”
Lin Yi smiled and handed the bank card to the middle-aged man.
“There’s 50 million rubles here to buy the information you possess,” Lin Yi said.
“You only have half a minute to consider. Otherwise, I’ll ask someone else.”
“50 million!”
It was obvious that the middle-aged boss could not remain calm after hearing about such a large sum of money.
For a depressed Ruxian, this was a huge sum of money.
“Ten seconds left…” Lin Yi counted slowly, “Ten, nine, eight… three, two…”
“Stop, stop, stop. I’m telling you!”
Lin Yi casually threw the bank card over. “The password is 000000.”
The middle-aged boss was very cautious. He checked the bank card and was relieved to find that the money was really there.
“I believe in your sincerity, but there are some things that you might not know, so 1 want to tell you of them first.”
“You’re Huaxian. There are restrictions on buying things here,” the middle-aged boss said.
“The people selling guns will put you to the test. Only when you are recognized by them will they be willing to sell the goods to you. This is the rule. Even if you go elsewhere, you will be tested like this. If they don’t test you, it means they are trying to scam you. Don’t fall for it.”
“Does that count as discrimination?”
“Of course not.” The middle-aged boss shrugged. “If it were those Meiguo and Sunrise Land people, we wouldn’t have sold them at all.”
“Haha… I’m okay with that.”
The middle-aged boss chuckled, “If you feel that you don’t have the capability to get what you need, you can take back the bank card.”
“It’s fine. Just tell me how to contact those people.”
“You can go to the Arrow Bar on Arbat Street and look for a man named Li Fei. He has connections in this area.”
“Li Fei? A Huaxian?”
“Yes, Arrow Bar was opened by a Huaxian. He’s the owner of the bar and has a reputation in the local area. Since you’re Huaxian, it’ll be easier for you to communicate,” the middle-aged boss said.
“I can contact him for you so that he will receive you.”
“Thanks, Boss.”
Listening to the middle-aged boss, the two of them went out to take a taxi to Arrow Bar on Arbat Street.
“How do you feel? Is the old man alright?”
“These people from that brutal race are all one-track-minded. They’re very honest and won’t play any tricks.”
Lin Yi nodded. During the conversation, he was also observing the boss’s eyes and actions, but he didn’t see anything wrong.
Arbat Street, Arrow Bar.
Compared to establishments in Huaxia, the size of the bar could be considered average at best and wouldn’t stand out.
However, what was interesting was that outside the entrance hung two large red lanterns, giving it an exceptionally festive look.
Even though the bar wasn’t very spacious, there were quite a few people inside.
The noise could even be heard from outside.
Because the owner of the bar was a Huaxian, most of the people who came here to play were Huaxian, and there were even many students inside.
Inside the bar, it was incredibly lively. Some local residents were seen downing vodka as if they were in a race.
They looked like they might drink themselves to death at any moment.
Two people were sitting in front of the bar counter. They were the owner of the bar, Li Fei, and his brother, Li Dong.
“Brother, 1 heard that someone will be coming over later.” Li Dong said with a glass of wine in his hand..
