Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 40: Enthusiastic Policewoman
Shanying was shocked by the price of the two guns. 60 Thai baht is nearly US dollars...

At first he thought that the two guns would cost no more than $5000. After all, they were just modifications based on the original ones. They were neither tailor-made nor had they undergone extreme modifications that could significantly improve performance.

I looked at Sokka and Geralt, who were looking around with a gloating look, and then looked at Tessa and Chaiman, who looked as if it was a matter of course...

Shanying finally realized that Tessa, the princess of the Thai police force, was probably not sensitive to money at all.

Or insensitive to the prices of certain non-routine goods...

That is, the kind of person who can spend a lot of money on his or her hobbies and can respect others spending a lot of money on their own hobbies.

To be honest, 17,000 dollars for two guns and so many free gifts, although it is not cheap in the IPSC industry, it is not too outrageous either...

After all, the gun culture in Thailand is not as prevalent as in Europe and the United States, and the size of the industry dictates that Chaimang's profits need to be higher to maintain his business.

It's understandable, but it's still a bit of a burden for Shanying, who doesn't have much money.

He just got his police C certificate and hasn't received any salary. He spent 60 yuan on buying a gun, and he will probably have to spend money on bullets later...

Thinking about how he had spent nearly half of the $6 in dividends that Blood Fox had given him in order to activate the data and purchase materials, he was carrying a foreign debt of $30, and he also had to face the subsequent expenses of settling in Krabi...

Looking at the two fine guns, Shanying suddenly felt the absurdity of coming all the way to Thailand and working for the Thai people at his own expense.

Tessa saw that Shanying looked a little hesitant. The female police officer didn't realize that Shanying didn't have enough money. She frowned and said, "What's wrong? If you are not satisfied, we can go somewhere else..."

The elite image that Shanying deliberately created was too deceptive. Tessa never thought he was a poor man from the moment she met him...

As soon as she said this, coupled with Caiman's somewhat strange expression, Shanying, a traditional Chinese man, really couldn't say "no".

Taking out his wallet and handing over his credit card, Shanying said with a wry smile: "I never thought that just being a police officer would cost me the money I was going to use to buy a house in Krabi."

Shanying looked at Caiman, who had a strange expression on his face, shrugged his shoulders and said, "But the gun is indeed a good gun, and the money is worth it!"

Caiman probably didn't understand the true relationship between Shanying and Tessa. He looked between Shanying and Tessa for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "I have to defend myself. Such a high price is not only my fault, half of it is for tax.

And because you are a police C, you can be exempted from part of the taxes and fees, otherwise the price will increase by 30%.

But this is the first time I've seen someone willing to complain about money in front of Tessa...

I’m into you, man!”

After that, Caiman turned around and found a big bag, put a few boxes of bullets into it, and said, "Give your ID to my guy to register, and then we will go to the shooting range to test the gun. If it does not need to be adjusted, you can go out with the gun from today.

Do you need a tactical vest? I have American-made bulletproof tactical vests here, 900 dollars each, and the elites of the 191st Special Operations Brigade are happy to get one for themselves."

Shanying decisively rejected Chaiman’s sales pitch and decided that it was best to be self-sufficient in some things.

He had already spent gold to activate the Master Chief System's regular tactical suit, which contained a full range of auxiliary supplies that were perfectly suited to his physical data, so he didn't have to waste money on something that had a completely unreliable price-performance ratio.

After rejecting Chaiman's sales pitch, Shanying packed up the two guns that already belonged to him, registered his information at the counter, and left the gun store that he had been fond of at the beginning.

When he went out, he felt that people in the surrounding shops were looking at him. Maybe it was due to psychological reasons, but Shanying always felt that those people looked at him as if he were being taken advantage of.

Tessa probably realized Shanying's problem. She walked to Shanying's side and waited for Suka and the others to drive over to pick them up. She asked curiously, "Is the money for buying a gun beyond your budget?
If your budget for buying a house is not enough, I can help you call my aunt, she is in Krabi..."

Shanying decisively waved his hand to stop Tessa from saying the next thing, and said: "No, the gun is great, and I can figure out the house myself.

The cost of living in Krabi should not be high, and renting an apartment can meet my needs. "Seeing that Shanying rejected her kindness, Tessa nodded slightly disappointed and said, "It seems that I have caused you trouble. I am sorry..."

Shanying looked at Tessa's serious expression. He frowned and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what this girl wanted from him...

She said she was grateful for saving her life, but she turned around and led herself into a "black shop".

They said she was trying to help her family maintain the honor of the police force, but she never mentioned it from beginning to end.

It could be said that she had a crush on me, but although there was some ambiguity between us, it definitely wasn't to that extent.

If you say Tessa is a willful young lady, that's definitely a lie...

Even though Shanying spent money in vain, he didn't think it was her problem.

It was obvious that she just wanted to recommend the best things she knew to Shanying...

Shanying felt more and more awkward the more he thought about it. Finally, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Tessa, you are so nice to me, what exactly do you want me to do for you?"

After listening to this, Tessa lowered her head and was silent for a while, then said, "Four of my friends died, and two of them will have to live in wheelchairs forever...

Basong, I want to find Basong's daughter and settle this case."

When Shanying heard this, he frowned and said, "You are the police officer. It is the police officer's responsibility to find Basong's missing daughter. Just do it!"

Tessa shook her head and said, “My mother and brother wanted to define the highway gunfight as a terrorist attack in order to avenge the gangsters for me, but this proposal encountered great resistance within the government.

Some people are worried that being defined as a terrorist attack will be detrimental to Thailand's tourism image, while others have accepted money from the gangs and want to prevent the police from completely cracking down on them.

The main opponent of the police now is the largest gang in Bangkok. Before eliminating external interference and defeating all the gang leaders, no one is paying attention to Basong...

Now I have been removed from the case and cannot mobilize the resources and manpower of the Criminal Investigation Bureau...

There is a high bounty on Basong's head, and as long as he is still wandering around, there will be no peace in Bangkok.

His goal is to find his daughter. I want to help him find his daughter, and then have him turn himself in and put an end to this mess."

When Shanying heard this, he pointed at his nose and said, "So you want me to help?"

Tessa nodded seriously and said, "My partner is dead. I can't do much by myself. I need someone to cooperate with me in the investigation...

You are very capable, and now my mother and brother think you are an important figure in maintaining the image of the police force..."

After hearing this, Shanying smiled bitterly and said, "So if we get into trouble together, we can bear the consequences, right?"

Tessa looked at the mountain eagle with her eyes wide open, and said in a pleading tone: "Would you like to help?
If you want a reward, I can give you a piece of land in Krabi that my aunt gave me..."
