People in America started by developing the Yellow Turban Army.

I remember now, this is how Yip Kai-foon, the infamous "King of Thieves" who once dominated Hong Kong, was seen holding a gun in the CCTV footage.

With just him and his gun, he kept the entire Flying Tigers of Hong Kong Island pinned down.

Amidst a whirlwind of emotions, Chen Ping'an pulled the trigger, and bullets flew out instantly.

The Type 56 assault rifle produced by the great Eastern power has a safety mechanism consisting of a lever.

These are three options: disable insurance, single shot, and burst fire.

Indoor shooting ranges in Los Angeles are usually not far away. If you want to shoot at a greater distance, such as a 100-meter, 200-meter, or 300-meter target, or even an 800-meter target with a sniper rifle, you have to go to an outdoor shooting range.

Indoors, whether it's a pistol or a rifle, the targets are only 7 meters, 15 meters, and 20 meters.

Of course, there are exceptions. Those calculated by yards, 10 to 25 yards, are equivalent to 9 to 23 meters.

Of course, the target range that Chen Ping'an is using now has an electric target machine that can be adjusted at any distance, with the furthest distance being about 20 meters.

It is precisely because the furthest distance is only about 20 meters, and at most two or three meters, and at least two or three meters.

Chen Ping'an simply didn't use single-shot mode; he held the domestically made AK at his waist, pressed down on the gun with his left hand, and immediately started automatic fire.

It hugged me all the way to the bottom!

In continuous fire mode, the domestically produced Type 56 assault rifle can empty all ten bullets in just a moment.

For Chen Ping'an, who was hip-firing a domestically produced AK at a distance of about 20 meters, there was no way he could miss the target.

The old coach waited until he unloaded the magazine and inspected the chamber before patting him on the shoulder: "Sir, although I would love to earn your coaching fee, your skill level is already beyond what you need a coach for."

I think you should own your own gun. Only by owning your own gun can you improve your shooting skills through regular shooting training.

If you need to buy a gun, you can contact me; my brother owns a gun shop!

After saying that, he gave him a note with his name and phone number written on it.

Ok!

He was a shooting range instructor who also worked part-time as a gun shop salesman.

Lin Zhiyong stopped shooting, removed the magazine, and came to Chen Ping'an's side to help him load the bullets.

"What, aren't you going to play?"

Chen Ping'an looked at the two large boxes of bullets left in his hand. He had used some pistol bullets, but hadn't touched the rifle bullets.

"Hey! I used to come here all the time, but since you seem happy today, you can play first!"

You can't really enjoy the game if you're controlling the bullets all by yourself. Let me help you control the bullets!

These two boxes of bullets are yours to play with!

Actually, there aren't many bullets in two boxes, only about 50 rounds per box, or 20 rounds in a smaller box.

As evening approached and he left the shooting range, Chen Ping'an, fueled by his newfound excitement, fired over 70 pistol rounds and 100 rifle rounds.

I played with three different guns, it was so much fun!

Even though Chen Ping'an is naturally strong and has a tough body, the two rifles he chose today don't actually have much recoil.

But after playing, my wrists and shoulders were sore. I have to say, you have to take it slow when it comes to playing with guns.

Back at Lin Zhiyong's home, it has to be said that the wooden houses in Los Angeles are actually quite good. At first, Chen Ping'an thought that these wooden houses were not good at soundproofing or heat insulation.

Unexpectedly, although this California house was not fire-resistant, in terms of sound insulation and heat insulation, this wooden villa with foam filling the wooden planks was indeed much better than the brick and concrete house back home.

The disadvantages are also obvious: it doesn't burn well and isn't wind-resistant.

Why is Chen Ping'an concerned about this matter?

He checked online and found that his abandoned mining town needed to repair 18 buildings as soon as possible, or he would be fined.

Those 18 buildings are very likely to be wooden villas like Lin Zhiyong's.

How much would it cost to restore all 18 wooden villas, even if they are small ones?

Chen Pingan suddenly felt a slight itch in his tooth roots!

It seems like I don't have much money left in my pocket!

However, one advantage, Lin Zhiyong said, is that as long as you do it yourself, the materials for repairing the room are actually very cheap.

The most expensive thing here is the labor cost for building houses.

Construction teams that repair houses can have jobs that last from the beginning to the end of the year.

Oh, it's not that orders start from the beginning of the year and end at the end; it's that orders received at the beginning of the year can be scheduled until the end of the year.

Because wooden houses are too prone to problems, they need maintenance every year. Whether it's damage from rats or termites, you have to pay for maintenance.

In Lin Zhiyong's words, building houses with the brick-and-mortar structure common in China is very unpopular in California.

Not only is the cost of building a house high, but you'll also be charged higher prices when hiring construction workers, because they won't be able to get money from you for house repairs later.

If it's a wooden house, the annual maintenance of rat holes, termites, and leaky planks will generate additional income.

Each company, even the kind that does house maintenance, will occupy a territory, just like how domestic express delivery companies designate a region.

Each house represents their later income.

For every additional person who builds a brick and concrete house, the building maintenance company loses an income that could last for 100 years.

This is about profit!

This is blatant self-interest!

Those living in brick-concrete structures are more likely to encounter accidents.

It's the same principle as how the United States could invade Iraq with just a bag of laundry detergent because Saddam Hussein wanted to settle oil transactions in euros.

The United States needs to deter oil-producing countries that attempt to break away from the dollar, and home maintenance companies also need to deter homeowners who try to build brick-and-concrete houses to disrupt their entire supply chain.

To put it simply, in America, any legitimate company can be a gang if there's profit to be made.

Chen Ping'an had originally been thinking about the maintenance of the 18 buildings and wanted to ask if there were any red bricks and cement here, but after Lin Zhiyong's words, it seemed he had to be more cautious.

I've decided, let's go take a look first!

To be honest, Chen Ping'an didn't sleep well on his first night in Los Angeles.

It's not that he's picky about beds, he's not that fussy!

Most importantly, according to the body's activity patterns, nighttime here should be daytime noon at the place where I worked not long ago.

If Lin Zhiyong hadn't insisted on taking him to shoot after dinner and then chatted with him until after nine o'clock, he probably wouldn't have been able to fall asleep.

Because he didn't have time to nap during the day, all his drowsiness accumulated until night, which is why he was able to fall asleep.

However, due to his biological clock, even when he fell asleep, he didn't sleep soundly and would drift off to sleep until dawn.

Lin Zhiyong poured him a glass of milk and made him a sandwich.

"Eat quickly, finish your lunch, and let's go check out your town!"

That's right, you need to bring your own lunch!

This was the decision they made after looking at the map.

Although it's not too far, only sixty or seventy kilometers, you can't just go there and come right back!

Lin Zhiyong has a pickup truck, a second-hand Raptor, which is about the same size as a large truck.

He said it was so sturdy and durable that you could mount a machine gun on the roof of it if you put it in Africa.

However, Chen Pingan remembered that most of the vehicles with machine guns mounted on their roofs in Africa were Toyota pickup trucks.

Following the navigation, we walked along the muddy, overgrown road, spending more than an hour navigating past farms, and finally arrived at the abandoned mining town that Chen Ping'an had photographed.

Standing on high ground, Lin Zhiyong looked down at the 580 acres of land belonging to Chen Ping'an, which, when converted to mu (a unit of land measurement) in China, amounted to more than 3,500 mu!

"This is too big..."

"If in the future, the tax rate for unclaimed properties is less than 5000 yuan a year, I'll accept paying it every year!"

This is the innate farming instinct of every person in this great Eastern country. It doesn't matter if the land is a little bad, the most important thing is that there is land, and a large piece of it!

Chen Ping'an had no intention of speaking, because he froze the moment he got out of the car.

He appears to be looking down into the distance, but in reality:

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully arrived at your home territory and have begun to connect the stolen fortune with the earth's energy...]
