Chapter 237 96. Weapons Receipt
On the first day after Christmas, even though it had been raining since noon, there were still many customers in the Wild Wolf Bar. Or perhaps, because the shop was closed for a day yesterday for Christmas, today's business was better than usual.

Amid the hustle and bustle, Carl stood at the door of the Wild Wolf Bar and shook his head to shake off some of the water droplets that kept dripping from his hair into his collar and stinging his skin. He then patted the raindrops on his clothes before stepping into the bar.

Carl's entry attracted the attention of some people in the bar, but most of them turned their heads away after seeing the familiar figure of Carl and just did what they wanted to do.

It's just KK, it's not like I haven't seen it before, there's no need to make a fuss.

In the crowd, several people stood up from their seats immediately when they saw Carl, and Mrs. Wells, who was standing behind the bar, quickened her pace when she saw Carl's wet appearance, grabbed a dry towel beside her, and hurried over.

"Why didn't you ask Oliver and the others to pick you up? You've made such a mess."

Mrs. Wells approached Carl, raised her hand and wiped Carl's hair and neck with a towel, and said with a little reproach: "Will it feel good to get wet?"

Carl let Mrs. Wells wipe his wet self dry, and smiled embarrassedly: "When I came here, someone sent me here. I asked him to stop near the Wild Wolf Bar, and I walked less than 50 meters. I didn't expect it to rain so heavily."

"It will rain this afternoon. I warned you yesterday."

Mrs. Wells was a little helpless. She wiped the water droplets off Karl’s clothes, took a step back, looked at Karl’s current appearance, and nodded: “It looks much fresher this way.”

After Mrs. Wells wiped the wet Carl clean, Oliver and the others stood up from their seats far away and called out, "Carl, you're just in time. We were just calculating the time it would take you to arrive here from Arasaka Tower. The fries are already fried and are crispy. Come and eat them quickly."

"Oh."

When Carl heard that there were French fries, he nodded at Mrs. Wells and hurried over.

"I've been busy today and haven't eaten yet."

After Carl sat down in their usual seat, he glanced around and found that V was not there. The only people sitting there were Jack, Oliver and T-BUG.

"Where's V?"

"He went back to the tribe. It seems that the tribe is going to hold a meeting to discuss something. Not long after you went to Arasaka Tower this morning, he hurriedly said goodbye to us. The tribe is a bit far from Night City, so he had to hurry back."

"Is this so"

After all, V is still a member of the Wanderer Tribe. If something happens in the tribe, he must go back. Carl understands this kind of thing, but he just feels a little regretful.

"I was thinking of asking him to bring something back, but based on his speed now, he should already be speeding across the Badlands. I don't know if the signal can reach him and ask him to come get it next time when he's free."

"Something, what?"

Oliver was drinking whiskey, listening to Karl's words, and put down his glass: "If it's something important, then I'll drive away now, maybe I can catch up."

"It's not a big deal, you can give it to V next time."

Carl said, "Didn't I say I would bring back some 'specialties' when I went to Arasaka Tower this time? I got some weapons and prosthetics and have already sent them to Lao Wei. I wanted Lao Wei to help me see if there are any backdoor programs left in the prosthetics. I originally planned to get some firearms and prosthetics that are compatible with V for him to take back."

"Weapons, prosthetics, some?"

Hearing these words, T-BUG cast his gaze over: "Did you go to Arasaka Tower to buy supplies?" "Not that exaggerated, not a lot, just enough for our team. We only got some general-purpose prosthetics that are not very special. We thought that after the prosthetics have adapted to the period, we can pick a few to install."

"Arasaka's prosthetics and weapons?"

Jack asked, and Carl shook his head. "Every company has some. They are at least the same grade as the Arasaka elites. There are no special models. They can be bought outside, but they cost a lot of money."

Who knows if the special model is some kind of test prototype? It’s not safe. Carl picked out the good stuff that has been proven by his peers in the mercenary industry.

"For use by the elites of Arasaka from various companies."

As Oliver listened, he remembered the Shingen smart submachine gun that Carl later gave him during his escort mission.

"Could it be that they are all things of Shingen's level?"

Smart submachine guns are extremely valuable, so it would be great to get one for free.

"That's the minimum."

Carl raised his hand and shook it: "I even caused an ice storm."

"Ice storm?!"

Hearing this familiar word, Oliver, a sniper, had his eyes light up: "Could it be that bolt-action sniper rifle produced by the Soviet Union, which is rumored to have produced 300 of them?"

"Yes, it's the Ice Storm, which is considered by many to be the most powerful sniper rifle on the market. This gun is a heavy kinetic weapon. If you want to use it, you have to find a place to set it up properly."

Carl didn't think that since Oliver now had the technical sniper rifle Nekomata, he no longer needed a kinetic sniper rifle. After all, you can always have too many of these things. Moreover, compared to the Nekomata which needs to store energy to exert its full power, although the Ice Storm is heavier, it can be fired more quickly and can obviously provide better support at certain times.

"I also picked out a few weapons for you two, Jack and T-BUG, that you might like."

"Do I have one too?"

It's not surprising that Jack has it, after all, he is fighting on the front line. What's strange to T-BUG is why he also has it.

"You never know what might happen. Don't worry. I picked the 'Kantau A-22-B-Super' smart pistol that can be connected to an automatic locking chip. It doesn't require the installation of a smart connection prosthesis. It's very suitable for you, T-BUG. If you encounter an accident, you can just insert the chip and fire directly."

"Kantau's goods?"

"Yes, it's Kangtao, the number one smart weapon on the market. In addition to the pistol I gave you, I also picked up a Kangtao for myself."

Carl chewed his fries and said after swallowing them, "Let's go to Lao Wei's place and take a look. They are all very useful. There are also prosthetics. You can also look at those that are good and prepare to install them."

There's the ice storm, the Kangtao goods, and the prosthetics.
After listening to Carl's words, Jack and the other two were certain of one thing.

"Karl, this guy, just went to buy goods."
