A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 76 A Grand gesture! A deadly weapon!
After a flight of nearly eight hours, the plane landed in Dubai.

After getting off the plane, Li Weizhou looked around the airport a couple more times. It was similar to domestic airports, except that the shop signs were written in curved letters...

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Are you a little disappointed?"

Li Weizhou said, "Disappointment is not the point... Isn't it said that if you have a cloth on your head, you're the richest person in the world? How come I don't see many people with cloth on their heads..."

Xiao Rui said cheerfully, "This is an international metropolis, and locals only make up a little over 10%. Besides, when you go to Xinjiang, they don't always wear their traditional clothing; they mostly wear casual clothes in their daily lives. But if you want to experience the local culture, you can. Terminal 3 is quite interesting. Saudis like perfume, and there's a shop there that makes custom perfumes for their customers. Do you want to go?"

Li Weizhou sniffed his arm and shook his head, saying, "There's no need right now... Let's go to the hotel. How do we get there?"

Xiao Rui said, "Take the subway to the Jumeirah Riverside Hotel. It overlooks the Dubai Creek and costs $108 a night, which is quite a good deal."

Li Weizhou joked, "I see there are sleep pods over there, staying there wouldn't be bad."

Xiao Rui said irritably, "Yawn sleep capsules cost $271 a night, more expensive than a hotel! It's just a gimmick, let's get out of here!"

Li Weizhou followed the girl with the sunflower bag slung across her shoulder, smiling, and took the subway to the hotel.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, I boarded an Emirates Airlines flight and arrived in Kyiv after a flight of more than six hours.

……

"Is it different from what I remember?"

After arriving at Boryspil International Airport and completing the procedures to exit the terminal, Xiao Rui asked with a smile.

Li Weizhou looked around, looking for a Russian...

Forget it, there's not even a crater.

I took a taxi to the Fairmont Hotel, checked in, and went to my room.

Standing in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, I discovered that the Dnieper River was right outside.

The scenery is really nice.

Li Weizhou turned to Xiao Rui and said, "You're amazing, you even found such a good hotel."

Xiao Rui's eyes remained bright as she cheerfully said, "Come on! How hard can a secretary's job be? Let's go, the borscht at this hotel is pretty good, and the paella is also nice. After dinner, get some rest."

Li Weizhou followed Xiao Rui into the restaurant and ordered food. Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Are you planning to do whatever you want after this? I promised you before we came that I would listen to you after we came out."

Li Weizhou nodded and asked, "Do you have any plans of your own?"

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "If you don't need me, I'll go to Kyiv University to meet my best friend tomorrow."

Li Weizhou asked curiously, "Are there really people coming to Kyiv to study?"

Xiao Rui nodded and smiled, "The chemistry in Kyiv is quite good, and the physics is not bad either... Would you like to go sightseeing together?"

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be back when I'm done with this." He then added, "Be sure to be careful when you're alone. Take the hotel's car to and from the hotel. Don't be afraid to spend money while you're out there; you know our financial situation. If something happens because of a pittance, we'll become a laughingstock."

Xiao Rui's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid!"

Li Weizhou smiled and said nothing more.

After dinner, the two went back to their rooms to rest, while Li Weizhou booked a train ticket to Kharkiv online.

The reason he made this trip, the reason he went to the city closest to the battlefield, was because of this one job—he was going to pull off something big…

……

I spent an ordinary day in Daqian.

After taking Feng Biwu to meet Princess Yi'an, he took Li Laosi back to his home on Shiqiao Street. They then went out for lunch at Zuixianlou Restaurant and also strolled around the manor and fortified village outside the city...

The young man appears cold on the outside but is warm-hearted on the inside. Although he doesn't talk much, you can tell he has a deep affection for his hometown.

Hopefully, this kid will do better and better; after all, only when he does well can Li Weizhou be safer in the "rear area"...

That evening, Chu Mengjun sent someone to invite him, but Li Weizhou politely declined, agreeing to discuss it another day.

This woman isn't very smart; you can't give her too much attention...

……

The next morning, after having breakfast with Xiao Rui in a foreign country, the two went their separate ways without saying much.

They each reminded the other to be careful.

After a six-hour train journey, Li Weizhou set foot on the land of Kharkiv.

Compared to the peaceful and prosperous Kyiv, some streets in Ukraine's second-largest city are in a state of utter devastation.

Burnt tanks and houses reduced to rubble were everywhere along the streets.

This was the first time Li Weizhou had observed a place where war had taken place up close.

Honestly, it was quite shocking.

In particular, the broken streets and street houses with missing windows and cracks.

Even so, some elderly people still go in and out of these houses that are already dilapidated...

For the first time, people truly grasped the concept of how cruel war is.

However, most streets were normal, although there were occasional unrepaired crater damages, but most of the time it felt ordinary.

Li Weizhou chose to stay at the Mirax Sapphire Boutique Hotel, which is only one mile from Gorky Park, the spiritual home of Mrs. Harko, and eleven kilometers from the airport. The room rate is fifty-two dollars a night.

His English is so-so, but at least he knows how to communicate using software.

Despite some hiccups, we finally checked in smoothly.

After settling in, it was already afternoon. Following the navigation map, Li Weizhou went to Gorky Park, which covers 130 hectares. Several loud noises echoed in the distance, sounding rather novel…

He was a man far removed from war and was not yet able to feel fear.

Using my agility along the way, I covered the twenty-minute walk in less than ten minutes.

This is without even letting them run freely...

The huge Gorky Park looked deserted, with not many tourists.

After all, this place is too close to the battlefield.

If you're unlucky, a shell could fall from the sky at any moment.

Li Weizhou observed very carefully, noting down several directions and prominent landmarks before returning to the hotel.

……

As usual, I connected to the internet, opened the Tor browser, and logged into the dark web.

If the black market arms market in Thailand still had some semblance of order, with hand grenades being roughly the upper limit, then after three years of brutal warfare, aside from nuclear weapons, the land beneath Li Weizhou's feet has been exposed to almost every new weapon imaginable.

The arms trade here has always been booming. You can imagine why. It's so close to war. People live off the land and water. And most of the weapons are aid. Anyone with a normal human nature, cough cough, wouldn't miss the opportunity to make money, right?

A couple of years ago, America was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. They were so worried that they even sent an auditor named Martin Hart to investigate, but he was taken down in no time... Haha!
So when Li Weizhou opened the dark web and typed "arms" into the search bar, what appeared before his eyes was a global exhibition of advanced weaponry that made his mouth water.

Assault rifles are child's play; mortars, drones, RPGs, javelins, all kinds of grenades, landmines, sea mines, flashbangs, anti-tank mines, and booby traps.

The price is so cheap that it feels even cheaper than some high-end toys.

Without further ado, Li Weizhou began placing the order.

Five hundred M67 hand grenades. In the hands of an ordinary soldier, these things are just hand grenades, but in the hands of Li Weizhou, who has the strength of thousands of kilograms, they are no different from artillery shells.

300 PMN anti-personnel mines and 300 anti-tank mines.

Add a PMN anti-personnel mine on top of the anti-tank mine. The PMN is a pressure-activated mine with a trigger weight of only six kilograms.

Even for a Martial Saint who has broken through to the eighth level, unless they constantly raise their weight and transform their body weight into force that penetrates the ground surface and is evenly distributed underground, their own weight alone is enough to trigger an anti-tank mine.

This is the martial arts knowledge that Li Weizhou obtained from Li Changning. To put it more vividly, reaching the upper three levels is somewhat like mastering a domain in a novel, where one's control over one's own strength becomes almost microscopic. That's why Qian Jintang, that scoundrel, was able to flip off his horse and leave no trace in the snow, because he channeled the force of his fall through the snow and into the ground beneath it.

The Eighth Martial Saint naturally did it even better, able to distribute his strength evenly and widely into the earth, so that the pressure of his feet on the ground was negligible.

However, according to Li Changning, unless all 365 major acupoints in the human body are fully opened, the whole body is leak-free, and a complete cycle is formed, no one can maintain this state of tension for a long time.

Qian Jintang's move was intentional.

In that case, PMN becomes extremely useful.

Not only is it incredibly lethal, but it can also detonate the anti-tank mines beneath it...

This is a far more powerful weapon than a Claymore mine, and Li Weizhou doesn't believe that a Breaking Eight Martial Saint could survive being hit by it.

Three hundred PMNs plus anti-tank mines are enough to turn Shenji Valley into a dead zone!
Several additional bait mines can be arranged in the form of stones, grass, etc.

Several remote-controlled detonators.

Another thing is, fifty RPG shots and ten javelin shots. Next time, if you can lure someone into the cave after passing through three levels, a few more RPG or javelin shots should be enough.

High-temperature metal jets can turn underground caves into hell on earth!

There is also one M2 heavy machine gun and 20,000 rounds of 12.7*99mm large-caliber ammunition!
Twenty kilograms of RDX... It's practically impossible to buy such a large quantity on the black market outside of here.

The American purchase price for an M67 grenade is $45 per grenade, but on the dark web, the price increases to $60 per grenade.

The production cost of a PMN anti-personnel mine is approximately $35 per mine, but the price on the dark web increases to around $80 per mine. Anti-tank mines are twice as expensive, costing $160.

RPG rocket launchers are cheap, costing only around $1600. This pack contains 50 rounds. Assuming that the launcher and other accessories are included, each RPG costs an average of $2000.

The unit price of a Javelin missile is typically around $15.

M2勃朗宁重机枪售价约为15000美元，12.7×99毫米大口径弹药每发 10美元。

RDX, $160 per kilogram.

In summary, based on the reference price on the dark web, the total price is approximately eight million US dollars.

Li Weizhou set the price at ten million US dollars, which is exactly one hundred Bitcoins.

Notes: Loaded in the truck bed, to be parked at 4:30 AM tomorrow on the east side of the artificial lake in Kharkiv Gorky Park. First transaction, hoping for success. Next transaction, two months from now, please prepare the goods in advance.

Click "Complete" to publish the task and deposit the Bitcoin into your backend account.

Less than two minutes later, the task was accepted and then locked, making it inaccessible to others.

This means that the seller is committed to the deal and will not back out.

Of course, no one would return it, because the hardest part of such a big transaction is how to deliver the goods without anyone noticing.

Now, all we need to do is deliver it to a park that covers 130 hectares but has hardly any visitors. The difficulty is practically zero, so why wouldn't we do it?

The only thing to be wary of is whether it's a setup by investigators, but it doesn't really matter. Just send a third-party underling to drive the car in, secretly take a picture with a drone, and leave. That would complete the mission.

Earning millions of dollars for nothing, enough to buy a villa in America.

Although such a big commotion would inevitably leak out and make it difficult to transport the goods out, that's none of the seller's business...

Of course, they still hope that the buyer can get out safely, which means they have another simple and safe way to make money, so why not?
