Zhou Kaifeng's eyes were filled with malevolence.
"Let me go over it again. The recent actions are twofold: first, to isolate the people around my father, and second, to lower his prestige among the citizens.
Second, to create enough chaos so that other citizens realize that Luocheng Base is no longer safe; chaos will facilitate our operations."
"Don't worry, little brother," Cheng Miao said confidently.
This time, he had infiltrated Luocheng Base, and with him personally directing the subsequent actions, there would be no mistakes.
"Very good," Zhou Kaifeng readily agreed, raising his red wine glass. The stem swayed, resembling the blood flowing on the ground after a victory.
"Let's savor the taste of victory in advance." With sly expressions hidden in their eyes, the three of them downed their wine.
...
"Money!" Luo Xiaole, holding a small notebook, roared in her room.
"Let me think, I have nearly 3 million shop coins now. As long as I sell more weapons recently, plus the income from the two shops..."
She buried her head in calculations, and after a moment, her eyes lit up.
"Within three days at most, I can gather 5 million!!" she exclaimed with joy.
"Boom!" A sudden thunderclap sounded outside, followed by a torrential downpour.
Her eyelids twitched.
They had stolen so many supplies from the Azure Dragon Gang, and yet there was no reaction?
Silence from the bad guys always meant trouble!
Combined with the ability users she had seen around Zhou Shoushan...
"It seems like something big is about to happen..." she frowned. She had to get this 5 million quickly so she could feel at ease after modifying her body.
However, the good news now was that her own weapon shop was open!
She could sell both enhanced weapons and regular weapons.
One was invincible in close combat, the other was powerful at range.
She was practically becoming the exclusive weapon provider for the citizens of Luocheng Base!
"A portion of regular firearms will be available in the weapon shop tomorrow morning. Enhanced weapons will also continue to accept reservations tomorrow morning. Please stay tuned," Luo Xiaole posted this notice on her weapon shop's bulletin board.
The comment section erupted again.
"I thought the authorities confiscated the Azure Dragon Gang's weapons and wouldn't produce them anymore. I was worried for a long time. Thankfully, these weapons are still for sale..."
"Exactly! While firearms are good too, the sound of gunfire attracts zombies, and you have to worry about running out of bullets. It's not convenient for missions outside. These weapons are better, silent and efficient!"
"Because I bought this weapon, I was able to kill a zombie for the first time and join the elite team! I can better support my family from now on!"
"I can't... I'm a terrible coward. When zombies get close, I faint. Doing missions before was too difficult... I wanted to get a gun but couldn't, and the black market was out of stock. I never expected them to start selling guns! Ahhh, weapon master, I will worship you forever!"
Luo Xiaole nodded with satisfaction. The demand was as fervent as ever...
Her eyes were full of ambition. No one could stop her from making money now!
She would take down any obstacle that stood in her way of making money!
"Knock knock knock," her door was knocked.
"What is it? Speak quickly, I'm busy," she said without looking up, placing weapons one by one onto the bed.
"It's me," Mo Chen's pleasant voice echoed.
Luo Xiaole paused for a moment, then got up and opened the door.
It seemed it wouldn't hurt to be interrupted by the great god for a moment.
To her surprise, as soon as she opened the door, ten figures rushed out and gently but forcefully pressed her onto the bed.
"???" Luo Xiaole was shocked. How was she the one subdued first?
Mo Chen chuckled from behind, "These are all the best acupuncturists in Luocheng. From today onwards, you will receive regular acupuncture and massage treatment."
Luo Xiaole: "???"
When did Mo Chen start acting first and reporting later?
It must have been Zhou Xiaojun and the others who corrupted him!
Before Luo Xiaole could say anything, she felt the grip on her hands suddenly disappear.
The acupuncture masters' eyes widened as they saw the bed full of weapons. They immediately released Luo Xiaole, raised their hands above their heads, and sweat beaded on their foreheads...
Heavens, so many weapons! This was a gang!
They had stumbled into a bandit's lair!
Luo Xiaole, however,'s eyes gleamed as she looked at the needles in their cases.
"These needles are good. They are fine and dense, more potent than thumbtacks, and leave no trace. Truly excellent tools for murder and robbery..."
She decided to get some from the weapon shop later. These might be even more effective than thumbtacks.
Luo Xiaole's mumbled thoughts reached the ears of the group, filling them with horror.
"Great one, please let us go. We didn't mean to. Please don't hold it against us!"
The acupuncturists looked pitiful, sweating profusely in their anxiety.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. These are all toy guns," Luo Xiaole could now lie with a straight face.
"Toy guns?" The group exchanged bewildered glances.
"They have no power at all, don't be afraid, they're worthless. Isn't it acupuncture you need? Come on, let's get this done quickly." Luo Xiaole smiled, rolling up her sleeves.
Since they had already been invited, their money shouldn't be wasted. She had to work overtime to enhance weapons tonight anyway, so having more comfortable hands would be good.
...
After the treatment.
Wiping the sweat from their foreheads, the group packed their things and rushed out of Luo Xiaole's villa without a word.
"That scared me half to death..."
"Indeed. The young lady lives in such a nice villa. I thought she had some connections."
"Oh dear, how did I bring this out!" One of the acupuncturists found a handgun in his bag.
"It was probably too rushed... Oh no, we have to go to the next appointment, we're running out of time! Didn't she say these were worthless toy guns? We'll take it for now."
"That's right. We can return it next time we come."
The group hurried to their next destination.
...
Luo Xiaole turned her wrist, feeling much more comfortable, and was very satisfied.
At Mo Chen's insistence, she also put on a wrist brace and bandages before starting her weapon enhancement night.
Now that she had the buff shop, if she got tired, she would drink a bottle of stimulant. If she was weary, she would take a bottle of anti-fatigue agent.
All night long, her hands were constantly enhancing weapons, allowing her to fully embody the spirit of a hard worker.
By the time the sky began to show a hint of dawn.
[1445 weapons have been enhanced, costing 332,350 shop coins. Remaining balance: 2,482,635 shop coins.]
Luo Xiaole got two cups of hot soy milk, a bag of fried dough sticks, and some mushroom buns from the eatery. She wolfed them down.
If it weren't for the continuous supply of buffs, her mental energy would have been completely drained!
However, the speed of weapon enhancement had increased, so she wasn't worried about efficiency.
After feeding Mo Chen and the others a hearty breakfast, Luo Xiaole had Luo Shu and the others deliver the enhanced weapons according to the reservation list.
She also gave them 500 regular weapons and instructed them to register the information of the gun buyers. They couldn't sell too many in a day, or Luocheng Base would be in chaos with guns everywhere.
Then, she went to the shopping mall by herself to collect payments.
By evening that day, she tallied the balance in her system wallet.
There were many pre-orders for enhanced weapons, so all 1445 were sold, earning 1,445,000 shop coins!
Plus 500 firearms for 500,000...
And the income from the restaurant and general store today, around 180,000...
She gleefully looked at her balance.
[Your account balance: 4,592,635 shop coins.]
