Chapter 78: Trip to Hulao Mountain
"It's exciting just thinking about it!"
Gu Sanqiu clapped his hands and said, "It's decided. I'll give that bullet enchantment formula to Uncle Zhong to play with later."
Putting the sniper rifle on his back, Gu Sanqiu took out other things that might be useful and prepared them before walking out of the underground.
"Sorry to have kept Mr. Zhong waiting for a long time. Let's set off now."
"Well, don't worry for now. I am slightly interested in the trees in your garden, Mr. Gu. Can you explain them to me?"
Who am I?
I can't afford this.
Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows: "Those flowers and plants are nothing special, but the other two trees are very interesting."
“The roots and fruits of the yam apple tree can all be used as health food ingredients.”
"And what about that big pig's hoof tree? Is it a treasure that can strengthen one's spiritual power?"
"Oh? It's so effective?"
Zhongli seemed to be interested: "I want to taste the fruit of a hoof tree. Can you give it to me?"
My Emperor, if you continue to be so "playful", some brother Tuo Tuo who might be waiting for you will be angry.
"As you please."
However, it is indeed very interesting to see this old man being surrounded and played tricks by various sea kings.
Gu Sanqiu showed a playful smile. If he hadn't considered his own safety, he would have to use the method of entering a dream to find out how Zhongli dealt with those sea kings.
Wait…life safety?
Looking at Zhongli who was slowly finishing eating the elbow, Gu Sanqiu's expression suddenly froze.
What if a meteorite flies down from here?
This Tiandong Wanxiang directly destroyed half of Liyue Harbor. Who should take the blame?
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
"Master, please don't get into any trouble. Please don't get into any trouble!"
Gu Sanqiu leaped onto the roof, found a hidden angle, held the sniper rifle in his arms and observed his surroundings.
He wasn't sure if there were any members of the Sanxuan Society waiting for him at home. What if they suddenly came in out of nowhere, or if they had some improper thoughts about Zhongli and wanted to wipe him out at once...
"For half, or the entire Liyue Harbor, I can only ask you, the parasites of society, to sacrifice your cheap lives."
The sound of a sniper rifle of this power firing must be quite loud, and Gu Sanqiu would not be stupid enough to use this thing to warn the other party.
Moreover, if he were to fire at random into the urban area with this kind of power, he would be the one who destroyed Liyue Harbor.
But the scope is really useful.
"Wind direction, wind speed, humidity, etc. I didn't expect that just by putting my eyes close to it, this information would automatically flow into my brain. It's worthy of being a scientific research department of Xuanhuanfeng."
Gu Sanqiu aimed left and right with his sniper rifle, and he actually found a few characters marked in red in the scope.
"Well, the thermal imaging sensor shows that these guys are in an abnormal state, and they keep looking towards my house from time to time. Is this possible?"
Gu Sanqiu smiled and memorized the appearance of these people firmly.
"An unexpected gain, an unexpected gain."
It is obviously not the right choice to attack these guys now. Now that I know what they look like, I just need to pretend to be blind and observe them with this scope at regular intervals to figure out the pattern of their surveillance...
"Three Xuan Society, right? Wait till I squeeze your brains dry, and then we'll see what Xuan you can come up with."
"Well, why is Mr. Gu sitting on the wall?"
Gu Sanqiu was stunned, then moved the sight and looked at Zhongli who was standing below.
"Mr. Zhong...no response?"
Zhongli first moved sideways to avoid the muzzle of the gun before answering.
"Well, for today's young people, this is indeed a rare treasure. Although I am a few years older than you, I am still well-read, so some illusions have little effect on me."
"That's good, that's good."
Gu Sanqiu breathed a sigh of relief, put the sniper rifle behind him and jumped down.
He was also worried that this thing might trigger the old man's memories of "wear and tear", which would be a joke.
The two men left the city, and in the carriage Zhongli looked at the sniper rifle that Gu Sanqiu was gently wiping.
"Mr. Gu, I don't know what kind of weapon this is. When it was pointed at me just now, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy."
Palpitations?
I guess an ordinary guest official would feel anxious and uneasy.
Gu Sanqiu handed over the gun: "Well, this weapon was inspired by the weapons of the Fatui's gunners, so I made it. It's called a sniper rifle."
There's nothing wrong with it, except that the fantasy part may be difficult to replicate. As long as the materials and time are given, even someone from the Hanfeng Blacksmith Shop can make it, and there's nothing wrong with saying that they made it themselves.
"Sniper rifle? That's interesting. Judging from the name, it should be some kind of weapon that can kill with one shot?"
"That's right."
Gu Sanqiu began to talk seriously: "As we all know, weapons that can be called 'snipers' all have the following characteristics."
"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."
"It has an aiming function and can kill with one strike, which is a common feature of this type of weapon."
"I see. Some things I don't know are interesting."
Zhongli fiddled with the sniper rifle: "How powerful is this thing?"
Gu Sanqiu hesitated for a moment: "Well, I haven't tried the power yet."
"When I was making it, I added a lot of functions that I couldn't even figure out. The consequences of a single shot could be quite serious, so I never dared to use it."
This kind of weapon is obviously similar to an anti-material sniper rifle. If you can leave half of your body after one bullet, you'll be lucky. If you want to capture someone alive, you won't use this level of weapon.
And what was very unfortunate was that every time Gu Sanqiu took action, he seemed to need to keep someone alive for questioning...
"Very interesting. Maybe we can use such weapons during this trip to Hulao Mountain."
Zhongli extended the barrel of the gun out of the window and observed the scenery outside through the scope: "Well, this type of weapon is very convenient. I wonder if Mr. Gu has any idea of promoting it to the Qianyan Army."
"I'm still considering this. I'm still considering this."
Gu Sanqiu pretended to be calm and took a sip of tea. He knew that Zhongli was considering the people of Liyue, but it was not possible now.
In modern warfare, sniper rifles alone are not enough, other equipment must also be arranged.
It is definitely not reliable to rely on the golden finger of this food supply station to win the lottery.
However, if he wants to develop Teyvat on his own, in addition to everything that Liyue has, he also needs Fontaine's industrial system and supporting talents, Xumi's knowledge base, and Ningguang's policies and economic support.
At present, only Ningguang's side is acceptable. The other two sides involve multinational cooperation and diplomacy. He might as well do it himself with such a short time.
If he wanted to do something different, he would need the Fatui's doctor to do scientific research for him, the half-abandoned one-eyed Xiaobao in Liyue to research the factory, and he would also need to kidnap the little Klee brother and sister from Mondstadt to work with the doctor to research explosives with superior performance, etc...
It might take a long time to leap into the era of modern warfare, and it was difficult to carry out long-term plans when he didn't know when a certain guy would show up in Mond.
When I show up, waves of disasters will come one after another to give me merits and travel experience. By then, I'll be lucky if I can quickly stabilize the people's livelihood after the disaster. I won't have the time to make long-term plans.
"Fuck, I've been paying attention to Mond's intelligence."
