Struggle in the Steam Age

Touching the thickness of the wallet, Lawrence bypassed the luxuriously decorated auction houses and shops closest to the square, and then followed the path to a street behind them. On both sides of this street are all kinds of specialized shops, some selling medicinal materials, experimental equipment, weapons, and even one selling all kinds of magic jewelry.

Unlike the items sold at the stalls just now, the same item in the store here is generally two to three times more expensive, and even ten times more expensive. However, there are signs on the walls of every shop that say welcome direct appraisal or go to a notary office for appraisal, declaring that they are genuine.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no fakes in the goods in the shops, especially those shops that sell raw materials. After all, Transcendents who have mastered magic appraisal technology are a rare breed, and official appraisals also require money. Not particularly expensive if you only buy a few. For raw materials, it is obviously not worthwhile to go to the official place to spend money on appraisal.

Therefore, shopping here is still somewhat risky, especially for strangers who are here for the first time. Fortunately, Lawrence probably asked about the situation at the church before he came, and the priest who received him in the logistics office of the church provided him with a list of shops that cooperate with the Church of Knowledge.

After coming to this street, Lawrence first went to several reliable shops selling raw materials and spent more than 100 yuan to replenish the materials he needed and put them in the space pocket at his waist. Then he started to walk on this street The face wandered curiously. He kept taking out thin fried cornflakes with cheese from a paper bag in his hand and ate them.

Even in this bazaar serving extraordinary people, there are various stalls selling snacks. The bag of cornflakes that Lawrence is holding now is bought from one of the stalls.

It's just that the difference from the stalls outside is that a large part of the stalls here are for some extraordinary intelligent creatures that are rare outside. For example, he saw several stalls on the side of the small canal selling various kinds of seaweed sprinkled with strange seasonings, and from time to time, strange-looking intelligent aquariums popped their heads out of the water in these stalls Buy your favorite snacks.

Through the window along the way, Lawrence saw many strange things. Among them are all kinds of strange stones, metals, roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits of various plants. Animal paws, feathers, and even whole dried animal carcasses. In addition to these raw materials, there are some common utensils like rune drawing pens.

"Huh?" Lawrence suddenly saw a familiar signboard appearing on the side of the street as he walked. "Aren't the Red and Black Weapons on Gunpowder Street? Why is there one here?"

At first he thought it was a store with the same name, but after seeing the exact same decoration style, he thought it might be a chain store of the store on Gunpowder Street. Thinking about what the priest in the church had mentioned before, the owner of this store was very reliable, so Lawrence pushed open the door of this store.

Sure enough, the first thing Lawrence saw after entering the store was a burly dwarf with a big beard sitting behind the counter. In front of him were some gun repair tools and a disassembled rifle.

"Welcome!" The dwarf said without even raising his head when he heard Lawrence come in, "Everything is on the cabinet, you can have a look at what you like, and come to me to pay after you choose. By the way, as long as it is not damaged, you can use various methods to identify it, but it should be noted that this store does not accept bargaining."

After hearing what the boss said, Lawrence nodded slightly, and then he checked in the store. Soon, he was attracted by a palm-sized small pistol with only two barrels on the shelf.

This kind of small self-defense pistol is not uncommon, but the entire metal part of the gun body in front of him is silver-plated with bas-relief patterns, and the handle is equipped with beautiful mother-of-pearl decorations. A curious mind.

"120 yuan, this price is too cheap." After looking at the price tag, Lawrence felt a little puzzled, because he knew that such extraordinary weapons were often too expensive, and it seemed strange that this gun was so cheap. If he remembered correctly, a similar craft gun would sell for about 100 yuan even without any supernatural effects.

"The weapons on all the red-painted shelves in the store are firearms I bought from outside. I can only guarantee that you will not be in any danger when you touch them, but I don't know what the specific circumstances are. Clearly, I can only put a price on them according to my feeling." After realizing that Lawrence stopped by the shelf, the busy dwarf stopped his work and reminded. "Of course, you can try to identify it."

It seems that the owner of this store is quite honest, at least he will remind customers of possible dangers. Thinking of this, Lawrence shrugged and released a [Identification Spell] on the gun in front of him, and immediately a long list of information appeared in front of his eyes.

[Gun of Loyalty and Deceit, as a Narcissus gun company specializing in the manufacture of female anti-defense pistols, they have launched a series of double-barreled self-defense pistols with extremely simple structure, maintenance and even use. Some of them were specially decorated for wealthy clients. 】

[This pistol is one of those handcrafted pistols. Unlike other firearms in the same batch, it has experienced an extremely complicated emotional story in the hands of its owner. This story includes love, betrayal, third party intervention, blackening with violence. At the end of the story, the cheated gun owner used the gun to kill the cheating man and his lover. Then he entered the Central Mountain Range with the head of the heartless person and disappeared. 】

[Because of going through so many events, this gun also has extraordinary power. Every bullet it fires is accompanied by a soul attack of the resentful soul. If cold iron is used as the core of the bullet, the power of this type of attack will be doubled. 】

[Correspondingly, each launch holder will suffer a weakened soul impact. In addition, because of the complex emotional story of the previous owner of the gun, it was cursed by the god of love and beauty. Anyone who holds it will encounter more difficulties and problems than others on the road of pursuing love. . 】

"This thing is for deceiving people." Seeing the last line of information, Lawrence felt his facial muscles twitch uncontrollably. It is undeniable that this gun is indeed powerful enough, but the side effects are too bad.

Of course it doesn't mean that this thing can't be used, if it is held by a strong-willed and vowed chastity witcher, this pistol is very suitable. But for Lawrence, he would never touch this single gun.

After checking three or four guns he was interested in, Lawrence found that most of the guns placed on these red cabinets had similar problems. Either it has extremely large side effects but cannot be avoided, or it is a one-off product that will be scrapped after a few rounds.

The uncle dwarf who is the owner of the store watched Lawrence pick and choose in the store for over an hour without saying anything, because everyone knew that buying any one of these supernatural props was a big expense, and someone as careful as Lawrence The selected people are the real customers.

"Hey, young man, tell me what exactly you want, and I can recommend it to you." But looking at Lawrence's confused eyes, the dwarf uncle enthusiastically expressed that he could help.

"I think I need a rifle that can shoot from a long distance." Lawrence said, "As for the enchantment on it, it's best to be related to breaking magic or armor piercing."

After finding it difficult to find the weapons he needed, Lawrence accepted the boss's kindness. He was going to take this opportunity to make up for his lack of long-range attack ability.

Because the space where the next Dabi was located should be in the open field, completely different from the small spaces where Lawrence fought in the previous few battles. So a weapon capable of long-range attack is very important to him, which is why he came to the gun shop to buy something today.
