Steel torrents pioneering a different world

Chapter 60: Is it reasonable and legal to put the Type 59 tank in the club? (Please continue reading)

"I didn't expect the test to start so quickly!"

Lin Li suddenly reached out his hand.

With a barely perceptible fluctuation of spatial energy, a slightly deformed sniper rifle bullet appeared out of thin air in his palm.

"It must be because I discovered something amiss after using the time portal to touch some self-defense weapons and equipment, and then they tested me!"

Lin Li muttered to himself.

"His abilities are still too weak; his combat power is practically zero."

He weighed the bullet in his hand, then casually flipped it, and it vanished.

Close your eyes and immerse your consciousness in the perceptible progress chart.

"Otherworld exploration progress: 1.2%"

"Spacetime Source: 76 points"

"The progress in clearing the land is too slow, and we don't have enough source essence. Let's take a nap for now~"

"Now is not the time for me to act recklessly."

Lin Li stood up, took out his phone, and searched for clubs where he could play with guns.

"...Locked up? Can we not lock it up? Go abroad? That's too far! Okay... I've made a reservation. I want to play with the big one, play with it as much as I want... How much does it cost? Okay, I'll go tomorrow, I'll pay some deposit first... Okay!"

Having determined the location for the firearms training, Lin Li returned directly to his residence.

He needs to practice shooting, learn how to use firearms, and understand various maintenance techniques.

Every time the Time Gate transported supplies, Lin Li could take the opportunity to skim off the top. He thought it would take some time before he was discovered, but he was discovered very quickly.

Since that's the case, Lin Li stopped pretending and simply went to find a shooting club.

The female tourist who suddenly struck up a conversation with him was an intelligence agent from Dongda University. Lin Li had seen her before at the Zhurihe base.

He was deeply impressed by the other person's outstanding appearance, which perfectly matched his aesthetic preferences.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, the other party came to find her, and even took off her uniform, disguising herself as a lustful older sister who craved men.

If Lin Li were a complete novice, he might really lose control.

Although Lin Li likes pretty young women, he's not the kind of man who lusts after them!

He's not one of Hongjie's hundreds of good friends; he's not that desperate.

He can find anything you want!
the other side.

The light was on in Li Weiguo's office. He had an unlit cigarette between his fingers as he listened quietly to the report on the phone.

In the microphone, Zhong Mengyao's voice no longer had the coquettishness of the daytime; only a sense of defeat remained.

"The target's psychological defenses are extremely high."

"He's like a hedgehog, seemingly basking lazily in the sun, but every quill is already pointed at anyone who gets close."

Zhong Mengyao paused, recalling those clear yet distant eyes on the beach.

"I think he probably saw through my disguise at first glance."

“Every word he said was setting boundaries. What he said about love being an exchange of value, what he said about needing to keep a distance... I always felt that he wasn’t talking to me, but to all of us.”

“I think he should know we exist.”

Is this the conclusion?

Zhong Mengyao added, "But strangely, his physical reactions don't lie. I could feel that he greatly admired my appearance, or even...desireed for me."

"A young man who has a normal desire for beauty, but can suppress that desire with absolute reason."

"This means that he has self-control far beyond his age, and a secret that requires him to be on his highest level of vigilance."

Li Weiguo slowly placed the cigarette in the ashtray without saying a word.

There was a long silence in the office.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice as steady as a mountain: "What kind of person do you think he is?"

"Is it hostility towards us, or... something they have no choice in?"

“I don’t know.” Zhong Mengyao’s voice was a little downcast. “But I personally lean towards the latter. When I talked to him about our motherland, his love and respect for this land didn’t seem like a pretense.”

"But he also drew a line outside of this respect."

"General Manager Li said, 'How can Aiguo be sold off for a higher price? That guy is suspicious! He's absolutely selfish!'" "Some things aren't about what he says, but what he does. So far, he's probably keeping his distance from us because of unavoidable difficulties."

"But my gut feeling tells me that something's not right!"

“Intuition often deceives you. You’ve worked hard, Xiao Zhong. Don’t overthink it! You… are still too green.” Li Weiguo’s tone softened. “This mission is temporarily suspended. I’ll give you a week off to relax. You haven’t rested for three months. If you’re too stressed, you’ll break.”

A barely suppressed cheer came from the other end of the phone, which quickly turned into a crisp, efficient voice: "Yes! Thank you, Mr. Li!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Weiguo looked out the window at the deep night.

He picked up the thin file on the table about Lin Li, which contained various information about him.

"They are wary of us, yet they hold our motherland in high esteem..."

"He craves beauty, a common male flaw, but he can detach himself from it..."

"They say they're cold and realistic, but their actions are incredibly emotional and meticulous!"

Li Weiguo suddenly laughed and pressed the intercom on the table.

"Notify the Time and Space Gate Management Office."

Soon, the voice of the person in charge of the Time-Space Gate Management Office came through: "Commander-in-Chief, please give instructions!"

"A giant LED screen will be erected in the most prominent position in the Time and Space Gate Plaza."

"Yes."

"Starting tomorrow, we will be broadcasting the team's logistics list and some equipment usage tutorial videos 24 hours a day."

The person in charge was stunned: "Uh...this...this involves leaking secrets!"

"Do not."

Li Weiguo's eyes sharpened.

"This won't leak any secrets."

"The font should be large and the image should be clear. Show him all the efforts we are making to protect our compatriots without reservation."

Li Weiguo leaned back in his chair, his gaze seemingly piercing through the darkness: "Go do it!"

"Yes, Commander!"

……

the next day!
"Huh? A lucky user of the club?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin Li, congratulations on becoming a lucky user of the Zhurihe Club! You've not only received the right to use firearms and ammunition worth 20 yuan, but you can also operate some heavy equipment, and there's even a mysterious possibility of participating in the use of active-duty equipment!"

Lin Li's lips twitched slightly as he listened to what the receptionist at the gun club said.

Is this a case of not even bothering to act anymore?

"Where do we practice shooting? Can we use a Gatling gun?"

"Mr. Lin Li, Gatling guns are certainly available. As one of the top gun clubs in the country, we not only have Gatling guns, but also 40mm guns for tank destroying!"

"Can you take me to see the race?"

"Okay, Mr. Lin Li, you are a valued VIP customer of our club. You can enjoy access to all weapons and receive one-on-one guidance from a retired PLA female coach."

After Lin Li left, several men with Sichuan and Chongqing features approached her and asked, "Excuse me, miss, can we participate in the lucky draw too?"

"Of course, handsome guys! However, our club's lucky draw is only open to those who have recharged over 1 yuan~"

Several round-faced, bearded men looked at each other, then paid their money before excitedly rubbing their hands together, ready to draw a prize.

They then discovered that they would only receive a few 67-stick grenades as a reward.

"Ugh, what bad luck!"

"Damn, that kid is incredible!"

At the club's shooting range, looking at the battered and historically marked Type 59 tank target in front of him, Lin Li glanced at the almost brand-new protective target platform and the dashing female instructor beside him.

"Coach, the firing range looks so new. Were the tanks just brought in? Is this a newly started event?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin Li! You have a keen eye."

Is this reasonable? Is it legal?

I need votes! I need recommendations! Please have pity on me~
