The Walking Dead: I Sell Arms as a Sixth-Rate Seller in the Apocalypse

Rick, holding two M14 Crazy Horse rifles, strode back up to the second floor with an air of indifference.

At this moment, Grimes was lost in the pain of losing his family, while Marvin stared blankly at Grimes with a guilty expression.

Seeing the two looking dejected, Rick ignored Grimes, walked up to Marvin, and casually handed him an M14 Crazy Horse.

At first, Marvin's expression didn't change much when he received the gun, but as he became more and more fascinated, his eyes gradually lit up. He was captivated by the modern design of the M14 Crazy Horse and the various tactical accessories it carried.

Marvin asked excitedly, "Wow! Rick! Where did you find this 'beautiful lady'? Look at this wild drum magazine and this mesmerizing design. I've been playing with guns for so long, and I've never seen such a great precision marksman rifle."

In response to Rick's expression of liking for the gun, he said, "Like it? It's yours, as long as you get out of that state and promise me it will never happen again, this 'beautiful lady' is yours."

"Really? Are you sure you want to give it to me? Can I?"

Marvin was overjoyed, speaking to Rick like a child who had received a new toy.

Rick nodded in agreement to Marvin, then left Marvin alone, went to Grimes' side, patted him on the shoulder, and said...

"Hey buddy, if you want to see something, maybe your wife and kids are still alive and well. You can't keep going down like this. How can you give up before you find them?"

Hearing Rick's words of comfort, Grimes turned to Rick and said...

"So much time has passed, I wonder if they are really alright? I really can't imagine how they, mother and son, survived in this dangerous apocalypse."

After hearing Grimes' words, Rick's expression darkened, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes. He then delivered a powerful blow to Grimes' left cheek.

Grimes, who had just been fed a large spoonful of meat, stood frozen in place, touching his left cheek and feeling the burning pain. Just as Grimes was about to vent his anger, Rick grabbed Grimes's shoulder and said with a serious expression...

“Listen, I don’t care if you’re a sheriff or a chief, in this damn post-apocalyptic world, you need to pull yourself together, understand? If you keep going like this, it won’t be long before you’re devoured by those mindless zombies outside. I know you’re worried about your family. What if your family is safe? What if they’re nearby? You’re not solving anything by staying like this.”

Having finished speaking

Rick raised his right hand and fed Grimes a large bib on his right cheek (don't ask why, it's just Rick's OCD; when feeding bibs, he makes sure the food is evenly distributed so it looks symmetrical).

Grimes, who had been fed another large beanbag, was immediately enraged. However, Rick was holding his arms tightly and he couldn't lift them at all. He could only glare at Rick with burning anger in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour Rick alive at any moment.

Rick patted Grimes on the shoulders with both hands and said calmly.

"I will help you find your family, and I will not leave until I find them, I swear."

Upon hearing this, Grimes's anger subsided, and he then spoke to Rick.

"Really? Are you telling the truth? Can I believe you?"

Rick: "Yes, Sheriff Grimes, I'll be with you to find your family. We Chinese believe in fate, and just because we're both called Rick, I'll do everything I can to help you find your family, buddy."

Grimes: "Thanks, man. If I find my family, I'll definitely introduce you to them, especially my son Carl. He'll be so excited to hear your name."

Rick: "However, I hope you can rest here for a while. I'm going out to get some things and will be back as soon as possible. Until then, you and Marvin stay here and wait for me, understand?"

Grimes: "Okay, go ahead and get busy. I'll stay here and wait for you to come back."

Rick then looked at Marvin, and the two exchanged glances before going downstairs and heading towards a luxury boutique not far to the east.

..........................

thirty minutes later

Rick strode out of the luxury boutique with an air of indifference.

This was quite a fruitful experience.

First, there are all kinds of brand-name luxury goods. Rick used the recycling function attached to the points redemption system to recycle all the luxury goods. This move made Rick rich overnight. (Note: Luxury goods only include "diamonds, gold, agate, jade, jadeite, platinum, and silver". Don't ask why there are no clothes or other items, because these are not worthy of mention!)

Not only did these luxury goods make Rick incredibly wealthy, but he also found a gold Desert Eagle with engraved patterns in a safe on the second floor.

Rick held the Golden Desert Eagle. The system notification indicated that if he exchanged the Golden Desert Eagle for points, he could get 50 points, which was about one-fifth of what he had just acquired. However, he thought that this item was rare and that he could get plenty of points in the future.

Immediately, the Golden Desert Eagle was entered. The Golden Desert Eagle in the system shop costs 50 points to exchange. This price can be used to exchange for a very powerful weapon. It is a luxury item among firearms, a pretty but useless piece of junk.

Seeing that his points balance had reached 250 points, the system notification sounded.

[Ding! Host's accumulated points have exceeded 100. A reward of your choice is now provided to the host.]

Rick: "System, system, what is the self-selected reward?"

[Ding! The self-selected reward is a high-tech item in the Simple Trading System. These items require a large number of points to redeem, and each one is unparalleled in this world.]

Rick: "System, system, quickly show me what's available, and give me a detailed description of each one."

[Ding! Five optional rewards are available this time.]

[Reward 1: "Multi-purpose Repair Tool": A high-tech repair tool that can restore anything damaged to a new, disposable tool.]

[Reward 2: "Super Repair Kit": A high-tech repair tool that can instantly restore a vehicle that has been dismantled to scrap metal to its factory condition, and also includes a start key]

[Reward 3: "Super Ammunition Production Line": A facility capable of producing ammunition for all weapons in the world, including tanks, aircraft, warships, and guided bombs.]

[Reward 4: "Doomsday RV MK2": A super RV with its own interior space, divided into two levels, each of which can even be expanded. It has a roof with parallel M2HB heavy machine guns, and the rear weapon rack can be used to mount a main cannon, tactical missiles, etc.]

[Reward 5: "Fully Automated Weapon Production Line": A fully automated weapon production line where weapon names can be searched on the control panel, and materials can be input for production and assembly.]

When Rick saw these rewards, his first reaction was, "Kids make choices, adults want them all!"

The system could only offer one choice, leaving Rick with only one option. Rick's indecisiveness kicked in. So he asked the system...

"System, system, which one do you recommend I choose? I want all five of them! I'm having a serious decision-making crisis!"

[Ding! We suggest the host select reward 1]

Rick: "Why?"

[Ding! Reward 1 is more cost-effective. Although this multi-purpose repair tool kit is a disposable tool, it can repair almost anything, including damaged car parts. It can repair anything that is broken. Most importantly, this tool kit can be redeemed for only 10 points, making it the most suitable reward for the current host among the five selectable rewards.]

Rick: "Okay! Then I'll choose reward 1, the multi-purpose repair tool!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your selection has been successful. The "Universal Repair Tool" has been entered and you can redeem it in the system shop!]

"System! Redeem 5 universal repair tool kits!"

[Ding! Redemption successful. The host has spent 50 points to redeem 5 "Universal Repair Tools". The items have been delivered to the system space and the host can retrieve them at any time!]

As the system voice disappeared, Rick saw five toolboxes labeled with wrenches in the system space.

Looking at his remaining 201.1 points, Rick returned to the second floor of the bookstore with satisfaction.
