A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 21 Truth
At 4:30 PM, Li Weizhou boarded an international flight to Bangkok, departing from Jiangbei Terminal 3 and arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport at 6:55 PM. The fare was 1,429 yuan…

He marveled at how powerful his country had become, so much so that even someone from the lowest rungs of society like himself could travel abroad.

The cost is actually not expensive at all. Not only is the airfare cheap, but a star-rated hotel in Bangkok costs only a little over a thousand yuan a night, and a suite costs only three thousand yuan, which is about the same price as sleeping on a kang (heated brick bed) in the snow village of Northeast China...

After getting off the plane, a private car from The Peninsula Bangkok was waiting at the airport, and it was a 20-minute drive to the hotel.

Perhaps due to the previous scandal that severely damaged Thailand's tourism industry, the lobby manager was extremely enthusiastic towards Chinese tourists, even proactively asking Li Weizhou in broken Chinese whether he needed girls or ladyboys...

After politely declining the offer, Li Weizhou closed the hotel room door, quickly washed up, and then turned on his laptop.

This is a new computer; all the accounts are newly registered.

Thanks to the emergence of AI and big data, finding information has become so easy.

After connecting to the hotel's Wi-Fi, Li Weizhou easily searched for well-known dark web websites. Apart from AlphaBay, Silk Road, and Hansa, which have been shut down, the most active one now is Dream Market.

Because the dark web consists of encrypted websites inaccessible to ordinary users, it can only be accessed through anonymous proxy tools. Due to its distributed network architecture or multi-layered forwarding to obfuscate the source, coupled with end-to-end encryption, even if a third party intercepts the communication, it is difficult to decipher its content.

Therefore, cracking a website requires a huge amount of manpower, resources, and time, and success also depends on luck.

This has led to the proliferation of the dark web, which is impossible to eradicate completely and can even operate with impunity.

Without much effort, Li Weizhou logged into a black page. The contents... well, let's not talk about it to avoid censorship.

Enter the keyword "Smith & Wissen 500" into the search bar, and the search results will appear quickly.

There are indeed people selling them, priced at $1416.27.

Li Weizhou knew what was going on, so he issued a task: to purchase two Smith & Wesson M500 pistols and 1000 rounds of ammunition.

Two UMP45 submachine guns and 2000 rounds of ammunition.

This weapon, hailed as the king of submachine guns, has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $1699.99, with bullets costing three dollars each.

The reward is $30,000, which is $10,000 more than the price offered through official channels.

The courier must deliver the package to the archway opposite the Peninsula Hotel in Bangkok at 6:50 AM tomorrow, no earlier or later.

Of course, you can't transfer money directly from your account; that would be suicidal.

Li Weizhou first bought four Bitcoins on the Bitcoin platform Bitkub, and then transferred 0.36 Bitcoins, equivalent to about 30,000 US dollars, to his website account.

It was claimed almost the instant the task was posted...

With such a high amount of money, it instantly climbed into the top ten of the task list and became the number one new task.

Secondly, Thailand doesn't ban guns, so the difficulty of this mission is really... negligible.

It's almost like giving away money.

Once the task is claimed, others can no longer view it. For a moment, countless people were kicking themselves for being a fraction too slow.

After finishing, Li Weizhou went to sleep.

Actually, after returning to the Great Qian Dynasty, eating, drinking, and taking a medicinal bath, it was almost time to come back here.

Li Weizhou went out alone under the pretext of a morning run to clear his mind. He temporarily left all his backpacks containing his identification documents at Daqian's place beforehand. After leaving the hotel, he disguised himself in a corner, put on a hat and sunglasses, and draped a black cloak. He then hid behind a boulder near the archway opposite the Peninsula Hotel.

As the hands of the watch slowly pointed to 6:50, a black MPV suddenly drove up slowly and steadily. When the second hand of the watch pointed to 12, which was exactly 6:50, two men in black got out of the car, took out two large leather suitcases from the car, and placed them under the archway. One of them took a picture and then drove away without looking back.

Li Weizhou waited for ten minutes to make sure the car had gone far away. Then he ran quickly to the archway, touched the two suitcases one by one, and then turned around and left to continue his morning run.

……

After having a casual breakfast at the Peninsula Hotel, Li Weizhou chatted with the lobby manager for a bit, praising the tourism environment in Thailand, before returning to his room with a relaxed air, as if he were going back to sleep, and lay down on the bed again.

Meanwhile, Li Weizhou woke up in the east wing of Shiqiao Street, his eyes shining as he looked at the two leather suitcases on the ground.

Without hesitation, I opened it and found several military green metal boxes inside.

Pulling open one of the metal boxes revealed a red cardboard box inside, which, when opened again, contained two rows of bright yellow 9mm bullets. These are submachine gun bullets!
On the other side, there were two rectangular boxes. I opened one, and wow, it was a super cool submachine gun from TV!
The UMP45 submachine gun may sound unfamiliar, but it's a familiar weapon used by the American Navy SEALs.

Then look at the two slightly shorter, rectangular boxes. Open them, and you'll find two unassuming revolvers...

This is the kind of big revolver that can blow an elephant's head off with a single shot.

But now there's a new problem: he doesn't know how to shoot.

I am completely unfamiliar with this area of ​​knowledge.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big problem, because Thailand doesn't ban guns, and there are plenty of places to learn how to shoot, as long as you have the money.

……

After using artificial intelligence to search around, it selected the Bangkok Naval Shooting Range.

There are also coaches fluent in Mandarin who specifically serve the Chinese community. It's quite interesting that they even arranged a female coach named Xiaomei specifically for Li Weizhou...

Xiao Mei recommended a package to Li Weizhou: ten rounds of revolver, ten rounds of rifle, ten rounds of pistol, and thirty rounds of ammunition, costing about four hundred yuan.

Li Weizhou thought it was pretty good, so he bought three packages first, but asked Xiao Mei to teach him how to disassemble and install firearms.

Xiao Mei, who is of above-average looks but dresses provocatively, praised him with great admiration: "A man who has the patience for foreplay is a truly good man!"

Li Weizhou was deeply moved: "Then let's hurry up and try to satisfy everyone."

Xiao Mei smiled as she taught Li Weizhou how to disassemble and assemble the equipment. She was indeed a professional; she could handle not only revolvers and pistols but also rifles.

When Li Weizhou asked to disassemble the submachine gun, Xiaomei still politely reminded him: "The submachine gun has a very high rate of fire, hundreds of rounds per minute. A 30-round drum magazine will be empty in just a few pulls of the trigger."

The implication is that several hundred dollars would be gone in no time.

Li Weizhou smiled and said, "I'll give you a bigger commission today, mainly for revolvers and submachine guns. I thought they were cool when I watched TV as a kid. Next time you come, you can learn how to use sniper rifles."

Xiao Mei probably didn't expect it to be such a big customer. She smiled so broadly that her gums were showing, and her ponytail was bobbing up and down as she quickly focused on serving the customer.

Sure enough, after Li Weizhou spent forty minutes and finished three packages, he paid again, this time specifically for revolvers and submachine guns.

A top-up of 20,000 RMB is equivalent to 90,000 Thai Baht, which is an absolutely extravagant amount.

This attracted a crowd of onlookers, and some even offered guidance to Xiaomei.

There is a complete set of techniques for holding a gun, aiming, shooting posture, changing magazines, and so on.

Li Weizhou studied from morning till night, a whole day, and by then he was no longer unfamiliar with firearms.

The rest is just a matter of constantly feeding the bullets and getting familiar with the firearms.

In Xiaomei's words, "To handle a gun well, you have to treat it like a beloved woman, caress it, and become familiar with every corner and every hole..."

"Mr. Li, Bangkok's night markets are very lively and bustling. I wonder if you need a tour guide? I can accompany you all night tonight."

When Li Weizhou finally stopped and was about to leave, Coach Xiaomei warmly tried to persuade him to stay.

Li Weizhou said regretfully, "I have something to do and need to catch a flight tonight. It's a pity I missed this wonderful opportunity. But it's okay, Coach Xiaomei left a deep impression on me, and I will come here to practice shooting again next time."

After saying that, they went out, took a taxi directly to Suvarnabhumi Airport, and flew back to the mountain city.

It's not that I'm pretending to be innocent and rejecting women, it's just that exchanging fluids with a stranger simply for the sake of desire feels too cheap.

Besides, he's currently practicing his virginity cultivation technique, so it's best to hold back for now so it doesn't interfere with important matters...

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
