No, where does this portal come from?

Vander's anus shrank when he heard this, but he soon realized that Lin Yan had more to say.

"I don't just want you!"

"—I want this world to be free of oppression! I want this world to be free of war! I want everyone to be able to stand freely in the sun! I want everyone to be able to control their own destiny! No longer have to worry about having a full meal!"

"Now, do you understand?"

“If you understand, can you dedicate yourself to this great cause?”

Chapter 16: Starting from the bottom city, liberate the world!

Next to the door, the two eavesdropping kids were staring at each other in confusion, but Hilco had already clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

There must be no more oppression in this world! There must be no more war in this world! Everyone must be able to stand freely in the sun! Everyone must be able to control their own destiny!

What a shocking declaration!

Isn’t this the ideal I have been pursuing for half my life?

I just never thought that someone could raise their vision to the level of overlooking the entire world.

Hilco was very excited after hearing this, and Vandel was even more so.

Vander suddenly stumbled to his feet, the wooden chair scraping against the ground with a harsh sound.

In the backlight, the outline of the figure was coated with a layer of gold.

In a trance, it was even more dazzling than the scorching sun, making his eyes hot.

"Mr. Lin! I..." The hoarse voice just broke through the throat when it was cut off by the other party's raised palm.

"Don't answer me yet."

"Now, please think carefully. Can you really dedicate your entire life to this cause?

If you can, then it’s not too late to answer me later.” Lin Yan said this without turning around, as if he was turning his back to the whole world.

What? Why turn your back on the whole world, you ask?

If I don't turn my back and let Vandel see my expression, I'll be exposed!

Even so, Vander still didn't doubt why Lin Yan kept turning his back. He just felt that Lin Yan was particularly dazzling at the moment, making it difficult for him to look directly at him!

"Mr. Lin, I've made up my mind!"

“It is my honor to be able to devote myself to this great cause!”

"I'm willing to burn the rest of my life for this!" Vander said seriously, with a determined expression as if he wanted to join the party.

Fortunately, they were in Shuangcheng now, otherwise Lin Yan would have thought that he would say something like "donate your heart" in the next second.

The breeze blew the corners of their clothes.

He glanced sideways at Fandel, who looked like a giant bear but was standing as straight as a javelin.

The breeze blew the corners of their clothes, rolling up a few dead leaves.

As Lin Yan turned around to straighten the burly man's collar, his fingertips felt the other man's carotid artery pulsating violently with excitement. "Since you've made up your mind, then... let's start from the bottom city - liberate the world!"

After saying that, Lin Yan strode towards the house.

The three people who were peeking through the crack in the door saw him coming towards them and quickly ran back to the room.

After entering the room, he walked straight to the study without stopping.

In the study, Lin Yan squatted in the corner of the room, rummaging through several huge old cardboard boxes, as if looking for something.

Most of the items in the cardboard boxes are related to anime, movies and games.

Such as the detonating tag in Naruto, the T virus in Resident Evil, Frostmourne in Warcraft, the Necronomicon in Cthulhu culture, the Sword of Separation and the Curry Stick in Fate, the Resurrection Cross in Dungeon Fighter, the Diamond Sword and Undead Totem in MC, the Infinity Stones and Infinity Gauntlet in Marvel... and so on.

In short, these boxes contain the "treasures" that Lin Yan has collected from Taobao stores and dealers since he was a child!

Each one of them is carefully selected, and some even cost a lot of money to find!

Not long after...

"Hey! Found it!" Lin Yan stood up happily.

In his hand was an assembled model of an AK47.

Lin Yan found it out now for no other reason.

It's simply my duty as a 'trade advisor'.

He doesn't know how to do business...

But he knew that something could also make money in another world.

Two words.

--arms!

Only by dealing in arms can Dicheng have both wealth and power and peace.

Truth is only within the range of cannons, and justice and dignity are only within the edge of swords!

Wealth needs strength to protect it. Wealth without strength will undoubtedly make you a fat lamb in the eyes of others.

So... let's deal in arms, Vandal!

[Once you have access to the AK47 (model), you can spend 50 points on Primal Power and 25 points on Chaos Power.]

[After original empowerment, AK47 (model) will be empowered as AK47.

The empowerment process is irreversible. Once the empowerment is complete, the target will possess true power.

“Empower!”

Accompanied by a light shout.

A ball of seven-colored light appeared out of thin air in his palm.

It was like a ball of flowing light, enveloping the gun model in Lin Yan's hand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The halo flickered in the dim room.

The collection in the cardboard boxes in the study was silent in the light.

Frostmourne and the Sword of Perversion lay on the detonating talisman, and the Infinity Stones gleamed next to the T-virus test tube.

When Lin Yan pulled out the AK model from the pile of "legacy", the gears of fate had already meshed.

The moment the colorful light wrapped around the gun, Lin Yan suddenly remembered the teasing of his college roommate...

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Lin Yan, this pile of broken plastic is enough to arm a cult."

Now, the smell of gun oil seeped into his nostrils, and the coolness of metal seeped into the lines of his palms. He chuckled softly into the void: "Who says plastic can't change the world?"

The model in the palm of your hand is also becoming heavier!

By the time the halo dissipated, the gun model in his hand had already been transformed!

The dim light from the computer screen cut tiny silver marks on the back of the gun.

The pitch-black barrel had a matte sheen, like cold iron soaked in frozen soil, with frost marks on the corners that were difficult to see with the naked eye.

The moment my finger touched the trigger, the coldness of the metal seeped into my blood vessels through my skin.

If you smell it carefully, you can smell the unique fishy smell of gun oil emanating from the wood grain on the handguard.

Remove the magazine, eject the bullet, and check the ammunition capacity.

Hmm... fully loaded.

“Now that we have guns, we can mass-produce gun parts by simply disassembling the guns.

But the gunpowder in the bullet is still a tricky problem…” Lin Yan rubbed his chin with his index finger and thumb.

"While the simplest black powder can be used, it cannot unleash the power of modern firearms."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yan's eyes suddenly widened!

“It’s right! It’s happening!”

"I remember this kind of bullet is filled with double-base propellant!"

"If we could find the formula for double-base propellant..."

Thinking of this, Lin Yan quickly turned on the computer and started looking for the recipe.

Classic gunpowder formulas like this are actually available on the Internet, but they are all from a long time ago.

The gunpowder formula currently used in the military has undergone many improvements and is much more advanced than the original double-base propellant formula.

After some searching.

He finally found a recipe that was suitable for Dicheng and easy to obtain in Dicheng.

As for what it is, I won’t say it for now. (I won’t say it in the future.)

After copying it down with a ballpoint pen, Lin Yan walked out quickly with his gun in hand.

In the pavilion, Fandel saw Lin Yan walking out of the room with an object that was somewhat similar to the upper city musket in his hand. He was a little confused for a moment.

But soon, the confusion on his face was replaced by shock.

Lin Yan raised his gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger. His movements were smooth and seamless!

--boom! !

As deafening gunfire tore through the Zaun sky, startled raven feathers slowly fell on Fandel's shoulders.

The former underground king of Zaun stared at the still smoking muzzle of the gun and suddenly shuddered.

At this moment, he seemed to smell the smoke of the old era gradually collapsing before his eyes...

Chapter 17 Perfect Glimmer?

"Om-"

While the sound of gunfire was still ringing in his ears, Lin Yan had already quickly walked up to Vander.

The sound of his footsteps on gravel pierced the stagnant air. He reached out and handed a metal object to the man who was still in a trance.

"As a professional trade consultant, I have found suitable products for subsequent cooperation." The heavy weight of the AK rifle pressed into his palm, and Vander's fingertips unconsciously slid across the gun body.

The gun's cold and hard feel, unlike that of its time, lurks danger. Holding it is like holding a metal viper with its fangs retracted.

His eyes wandered over the precise rifling and rivets, finally pausing on the gun for a few seconds: "Mr. Lin is saying..."

Lin Yan tapped the handguard of the automatic rifle with his fingers.

Zheng——

The vibration of metal striking echoed in the space between them.

"What you have in your hand is exactly the trade route we are about to open up."

"--arms!"

"Vander, tell me...is there anything more desirable than weapons in this world?" Lin Yan looked at the automatic rifle in Vander's hand. Before he could respond, he spoke again, "Go, gather all the craftsmen you can, disassemble this gun, and then reconstruct it using the blueprints."

He paused as he spoke. "But please note that you must choose someone you absolutely trust to do this! You must also keep the blueprints in your own hands."

"Even though this thing will be cracked eventually, if we want it to maintain its high value for a while, we have to try to make it take longer to be cracked."

"It's the same with gunpowder and guns."

"The ordinary black powder used in the upper city will corrode the barrel after long-term use. This kind of gunpowder will be much better."

He handed Vandel a diagram of the double-base propellant mix he'd copied from the internet. "Consumables like bullets only need a little bit of maintenance, and their value will multiply several times. You must keep them safe."

Hearing the instructions in his ear, Fandel clenched the drawings and nodded heavily.

At this moment, what he held in his hand was no longer a simple weapon, but a lever to change the fate of the city.

Hilko, who was watching at the door, was also in a trance when he saw that the "Black Wolf" that the gangsters were afraid of was waking up.

After saying goodbye to Fandel.

The empowerment panel, which had been silent for half a month, changed again.

[Minor changes to some of the plot directions in Runeterra.]
