Weapon seller in the world of magic

Lan Jing was here with a proposal to use his descendant for his purpose but never in the world did he expect to get involved in Mark's mess instead.

However, what can he do? Mark and Shang Jiao were only his way to return home.

While females and males have equal standing in Lan Sect, unlike in this mortal world, Shang Jiao isn't a free person like Mark. She was tied to the Emperor but he on the other hand can act as he wishes. So, Mark was his best bet and he has no choice but to help him as none of his direct descendants awakened the bloodline of Blizzard Pegasus.

"Okay, I'll help you with whatever is needed. The Kingdom of Eastern Sun will be also on your side," replied Lan Jing after making a decision.

Mark smiled brightly, feeling as if luck is on his side. He wasted no time in asking for a favor, "At the moment, I need information on two organizations, church of Doom, and Church of Nuwa. Just information about their exact strength and numbers is enough. I also need your help behind the scenes to find out who is the mastermind behind the death of my parents. And of course, I expect you to keep everything a secret including the fact that I knew about my birth secret."

"Ah, it's just that…" Lan Jing inwardly sighed in relief when he heard his grandnephew's request. They weren't difficult tasks for him. He nodded, "consider it done."

Mark was satisfied with Lan Jing's reply. However, he wasn't done yet. "I heard that grandfather had a Zheng beast as his mount. As a summoner, I'm interested in the beasts. I wonder if you can tell me about it like what are its abilities, weaknesses, etc…"

Mark couldn't ask it directly because he doesn't know whether this guy was aware of its existence or not. So, he played cautiously.

Lan Jing, on the other hand, didn't think too much about it and just gave the information that his descendant needed. "Zheng is a multi-attribute beast, a terrifying one at that and almost impossible to even befriend. If not for the fact that my brother found it as an egg, he wouldn't have any chance to tame it."

"Eh? Egg? But, isn't that a leopard?" Mark felt like his intelligence is going to be damaged because of the strange behavior of the monsters in this world. First, a cat, and now, this leopard? Do all cat species monsters lay eggs? Or is it the same case for every monster? He isn't some zoologist to care about such things anyway.

So, he quickly came to terms with the facts present before him and continued to listen.

"Zheng has five tails, each representing one attribute, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Lightning. The beast practically shouldn't have any weaknesses. But, if you will ask about Lan Ju, the one my brother tamed, I would say he likes to play 'Tag' and upon losing, he sulks very often. He was also very fond of fishes, not sure if other Zheng beasts would have the same habits.

Another weakness of every Zheng is that they are very short-tempered. In case you are wondering how that is a weakness, losing a temper will make an intelligent species lose the ability to judge the situation. Because of that, they only cause unnecessary destruction, make everyone hate them, and ultimately, bring demise to themselves during tough times."

Feeling like this old man is giving life lessons to him instead of giving some useful info to him, Mark changed the topic, "alright, I understand. Let's talk about something important like the Eastern Sun kingdom. I wonder whether your king is aware of the modern weapons that I sell. I mean… the last time you arrive at the store, you bought some explosives worth 1000 gold coins, correct?"

"How do you know that?" Li Cheng opened his mouth, not expecting that Mark would them but he quickly realized that the robes they wore back then hid their cultivation, not their faces. Obviously, Allen, who was a receptionist back then, would inform his master. If he could draw a younger Mark's picture right away, he can also draw their faces for as long as he can remember them.

Feeling like he asked a foolish question, before Mark even answered, Li Cheng apologized and stayed away from the conversation between Lan Jing and Mark.

Lan Jing then said, "To be honest, I wasn't interested in the weapons. I just bought them to find the answers I seek from your servant."

Mark replied, "First of all, don't address him as my servant. He is a younger sibling to me. Secondly, I planned to expand my business into other empires. Recently, I opened a branch in the Western Moon kingdom after the King made firearms official weapons. Now that you are here, I'm wondering whether to take this opportunity to expand there too…"

Giving a momentary pause, Mark gave a big smile to his granduncle and proceeded to ask the next favor, "How about you buy each model and present it to your King? It's alright if he rejects my modern weapons to accept into his army but he should at least be aware that there's an option that can let even lower realm Spirit Warriors fight against higher realm beasts and enemies. If he becomes interested, I will surely visit him with the proposal."

At one glance, it looked like Mark was asking for access to the Eastern Sun kingdom, but in reality, he wanted to turn this meeting into a business deal. Not only does he plan to earn some money but he also wanted to get near to the completion of the quest.

By this moment, even if both of the guests couldn't completely guess Mark's thoughts, they can at least understand that this son of Lan Jingyi is indeed asking for favors more than they expected. He was nowhere the honest guy he appeared at first glance.

What's more frustrating is that Mark's requests aren't difficult for them. The only worry now Li Cheng and Lan Jing had is whether he will ask for more favors.

Thankfully, Mark knows when to push forward and when to stop.

As Lan Jing agreed to the request and further asked if there was anything else, Mark shook his head with a smile, "None at all, at the moment."

"It means there will be more in the future, great…" Li Cheng thought in his head, feeling a little bit annoyed but as he is also, in a way, depending on Mark's return to the sect, he kept quiet.

Very soon, the floor of the living room started to be filled with various rifles.

"This is M16. It is lighter than 3kg and can shoot even the target 500 meters away at a speed of 500-750 rounds per minute. Of course, that's just the number. The magazine only has 30 rounds. So, changing one to another magazine will take time and reduce that overall number.

This assault rifle uses this 5.56x46mm ammunition and is powerful enough to take out everyone below 4-circle. And if all the bullets were striking one person without amiss, even 5-circle wouldn't be spared."

"This is AUG…" "This is TAR-21…" "This is SG 550…" "This is FN Scar-L"

"All of these assault rifles will only cost 250 gold coins to buy. The ammunition costs 1 gold coin and the empty magazine (20/30 rounds) also costs 1 gold coin.

Now, coming to sniper rifles… let me explain what sniper rifles are in the first place…"
