Guns and Coffee in the World of Science

After a burst of laughter, the three of them sat on the sofa. At Chen Shuo's signal, Mao Lilan began to explain Chen Shuo's true identity to Sonoko. After listening, Sonoko lowered her head and said nothing. Her eyes were covered by shadows, and her expression was completely invisible. It seemed that she was completely unable to accept it.

"Sonoko..." Mao Lilan was a little worried, afraid that Sonoko would become afraid of Chen Shuo after learning the truth. She didn't want the relationship between her best friend and her boyfriend to become strained. She covered her chest with her hands, her face full of helplessness.

"So handsome!" Surprisingly, Yuanzi didn't show any fear at all. She was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, her eyes gleaming as she stared at Chen Shuo. Then, she jumped up and excitedly looked around at Chen Shuo.

"Brother Shuo is actually a killer? This is incredible! This is just like a plot from a novel, a handsome killer protecting a fragile young lady, and then the two fall in love, ahhh! It's too dreamy!"

Yuanzi was completely lost in her own fantasy, and the air around her seemed to be filled with pink. She couldn't wait to throw herself into Chen Shuo's arms, but she found that her shoulders were being held down, making it impossible for her to move.

At this moment, Sonoko's fantasy was shattered, the pink aura instantly dissipated, and was replaced by a dark aura surging from behind, as if to swallow her.

Her neck was like a rusty machine, and she slowly turned her head. She saw Mao Lilan holding her shoulders and lowering her head, making it impossible to see her expression. However, the dark aura emanating from her body made Sonoko feel a chill.

"Sonoko~~~~" Mao Lilan slowly approached with a smile on her face, but her voice was a little gloomy, "Who are you going to fall in love with?"

"Ahhh! I was wrong! I was just talking about the content in the novel!!" Sonoko explained hurriedly with a flattering smile on her face.

"There's no point in explaining! Heavenly punishment~~~"

"Ahhh!"

Watching the two girls' playfulness, Chen Shuo couldn't help but smile. If possible, he hoped that Yuanzi, a girl he admired, wouldn't have any estrangement towards him. It seemed like things weren't going too badly.

"Come with me." Chen Shuo looked at the two beautiful girls who were sweating profusely from playing around, and couldn't help but interrupt their interaction with a smile. He waved at them, then turned and walked towards the inner room.

Mao Lilan and Yuanzi looked at each other, their hearts full of confusion, and followed him. They watched Chen Shuo walk into the kitchen with curiosity, and watched in surprise as he moved an inconspicuous floor tile to reveal a door with a handle.

"What is this?" Mao Lilan exclaimed. She had been busy in the kitchen every day recently, and she didn't expect that there was a secret hidden here.

Sonoko's eyes lit up instantly, and she said excitedly, "This must be the legendary secret room! It's like that in the movies. From now on, we can leisurely avoid assassinations in this secret room!"

Chen Shuo smiled mysteriously and responded softly: "You are right about one thing, this is indeed a secret room. However, you are wrong about another point. I never passively avoid assassinations." After that, he opened the door on the floor, revealing a staircase leading down, and walked straight in.

The two girls looked at each other, feeling both excited and nervous, and followed hand in hand. Yuanzi whispered in the background, "Brother Shuo is so cool! This plot is like something out of a spy movie!"

Mao Lilan asked curiously, "What's down there?" Her heart beat faster involuntarily, and she felt both excited and a little nervous.

"Just follow me, don't worry." Chen Shuo turned back to reassure them, a faint smile on his face. "I rarely accept protection requests because it's troublesome. But I understand assassins very well, and I know what assassins fear most, so..."

As he spoke, Chen Shuo walked to a small door, turned to Yuanzi and said, "I've decided to turn you into the kind of person the attacker hates the most."

As Chen Shuo finished speaking, the small door was pushed open, revealing the scene inside.

"Wow~~~!"⊙o⊙

The door slowly opened, and the lights in the room automatically turned on. What came into view was a huge room with a shockingly spacious space, like a miniature weapons museum.

The walls were covered in a variety of firearms, silently proclaiming power and majesty. Neatly arranged on the shelves were rows of black assault rifles, pistols, and sniper rifles, each emitting a cold, metallic sheen that was intimidating.

Near the center, several huge display racks displayed a variety of cold weapons—sharp daggers, curved axes, and even densely packed throwing knives. Each weapon exuded a chilling aura.

In the corners of the room, there are all kinds of equipment: tactical backpacks, goggles, combat boots, and even some high-tech electronic equipment, communication equipment, and grenades. Each piece of equipment has been carefully selected, as if waiting for an upcoming battle or an extraordinary adventure.

The air is filled with the smell of metal, making one feel as if they are on the front lines of a battle. The soft lighting cast on the walls clearly illuminates the details of these weapons and equipment, creating a solemn and exciting atmosphere.

Deep inside the room, there was a huge shooting range, almost the size of a basketball court. Even the two girls felt their hearts surge at the sight.

Mao Lilan looked around the equipment room and exclaimed, "Wow! Brother Shuo! This equipment room is even bigger than the one in the coffee shop!"

Sonoko was completely stunned, her mind frantically exclaiming, "This is exactly like a scene from a movie! Oh my god, it's so cool!" She then turned around and looked at Xiaolan in shock, "You mean... there's a room like this in the coffee shop?"

Mao Lilan nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Yeah! Brother Shuo took me there before and taught me how to shoot, but..." At this point, she blushed slightly, a little shy: "I have no talent for shooting at all..."

"It's okay." Chen Shuo smiled and touched Mao Lilan's hair, his eyes gentle. "Everyone has their own talents. You have a strong talent for close combat."

After saying that, Chen Shuo turned around and said to Yuanzi, "From now on, I will train you in CQB and tactical shooting every day. You've been practicing tennis, so you have good physical fitness and great wrist strength, so this will save you a lot of trouble. I hope you can take it seriously, as it is very important for your safety in the future."

Seeing Chen Shuo's serious expression, Yuanzi couldn't help but put away her smile and nodded seriously: "Yes! I will try my best!"

At this moment, Sonoko secretly cheered in her heart: "Spy Queen Sonoko, you are about to take the first step towards becoming a legend!"

At night, after dinner, Sonoko and Xiaolan went to the shooting range for training. Perhaps because of the company, the two of them were always very enthusiastic. Even though Xiaolan's shooting talent was hopeless, she would accompany Sonoko to practice military skills and cold weapons.

Sonoko's shooting talent, however, exceeded Chen Shuo's expectations. It seemed as if Ran Maori's shooting talent had been transferred to Sonoko. It was truly terrifying. After a short period of trial and error, she was actually able to shoot with remarkable accuracy. If Ran Maori was a genius in close combat, then Sonoko was a genius in firearms.

Chen Shuo felt that with Yuanzi's talent, if he entered the underground world, he would definitely become a very powerful gunman.

Chen Shuo wasn't practicing with them at the moment. He'd already covered all the theory, and the rest was just a matter of instinct, built up from the accumulation of bullets. He couldn't help with that. He was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, reading a novel, his fingers tapping on the armrest, looking quite relaxed.

"Ding Dong!" The doorbell rang in the night sky, breaking the silence. Chen Shuo put down his book and raised his brow slightly, seemingly not surprised by a visitor so late at night. He walked to the door, opened it, and what came into view was gin and vodka.

Seeing Chen Shuo's appearance, the two bowed slightly. Gin adjusted his hat and whispered, "Good evening, Mr. Wuchen."

Chen Shuo nodded, motioning them to follow, and then led the two to a pavilion in the yard. The pavilion exuded a faint coolness in the night.

The three of them sat down. Gin looked a little serious, with a glint in his eyes. "Excuse me, is there anything we can do?"

"You should also know that a group of little mice from Italy recently broke into my garden without permission, which made me a little unhappy." Chen Shuo's tone was relaxed, but it revealed an undeniable majesty. He took a gold coin from his pocket, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it towards Gin. "This is the deposit, one gold coin per mouse. I think this shouldn't be difficult."

Vodka took the coin respectfully, and Gin showed a bloodthirsty smile: "No problem at all, catching mice is what I'm best at." His voice was low and magnetic, and every word contained a hint of danger.

"But... I have a request." Chen Shuo nodded slightly, his eyes deep. He didn't directly state his request, but said softly, "I believe you will understand."

Gin was slightly stunned, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Please go on..."

"..."

In the darkness of the night, Chen Shuo smiled mysteriously as he watched the two leave and walked into the room. Everything was already arranged. Next, let's see if these mafia members have improved.
