Reborn in America: I Have an Equipment Slot

"Alright! 4000! I'll give you a friendly price, adding $40 to your price!"

Irving spread his hands, somewhat helplessly, "Total price: $4000! Consider it a loss on my part; I'll accept these things as a special treat for a loyal customer."

Seeing Irving change his mind, Morgan and the others turned pale and then red. After some internal struggle, they huddled together to discuss the matter.

Finally, Morgan, who was in the lead, stood up and said angrily, "$4500! If you agree, these things can be given to you right now."

"Sorry, I can only give you $4000. If that's not enough, try other stores..." Owen shrugged and said confidently.

"Alright, $4000 it is. If we didn't need the money urgently, we would never sell these guns! Deal! But the usual, we still only want cash!" Seeing that there was no room for price increases, Morgan sighed.

After accepting the receipt and carefully counting the money, the group quickly turned and left.

After everyone left, Owen grinned as he looked at the six large tote bags on the counter.

Make big!

Don't be fooled by the fact that the John Pawnshop he took over looks small; it's actually authorized to sell guns.

The five AR-15 semi-automatic rifles I just acquired may look worn, but they are all numbered and are absolutely legitimate firearms.

With just a little maintenance and refurbishment, each one can be resold for over $500.

As for the twelve unassembled Gru LCP pistols in the other bags, the profit was even greater.

There are generally three types of guns on the American market: one is a serial numbered gun, another is an unnumbered black gun, and the last is a battle-damaged gun that needs to be decommissioned.

However, the serial numbers of retired firearms can be resold, just like license plates. These serial numbers registered on firearms are printed by special machines and are very difficult to counterfeit. Even if they are counterfeited, they can most likely be identified at a glance.

Therefore, any firearm with a serial number is generally a legal and compliant weapon, and it is very easy to sell.

However, if it's a black gun without a serial number, it will be much more difficult to sell.

Correspondingly, these unnumbered guns are very expensive and illegal.

However, even guns without serial numbers still have a large market.

After all, not everyone is eligible to apply for a CCW (Criminal Control Warrant) gun license.

The United States has a total population of over 3 million and over 4 million firearms. The firearms market has long since formed a mature and complete industrial chain.

On the black market, let alone unnumbered guns, you can find all sorts of modified and assembled second-hand guns if you have the money, although most of these guns are of poor quality.

Irving's gaze fell on the several tote bags in front of him.

These Gru LCP pistols were all unfinished products, with various parts still incomplete and no serial numbers on the guns. They were clearly purchased from the black market.

However, the Gru LCP pistol is one of the best-selling handguns, and there are many people who need it on the black market and various gun collecting websites. You can make at least $120 per gun by reselling them, provided that you can assemble them yourself.

As soon as Irving put the handbags behind the counter, a notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

Progress: [10/10]

"Equipment requirements fulfilled, skill [Evaluation (Unique Passive)]"

As Owen stood up, he suddenly felt dizzy, and his mind was suddenly flooded with knowledge and market prices about various collectibles, antiques, jade, and so on.

After a while, he opened the equipment panel to check the specific effects of the skill he had just acquired.

[Valuation (Unique Passive)]: You have gained the intuition that a shrewd businessman should have, and you can value anything of value.

Upon realizing the new skills that had suddenly appeared in his mind, Irving immediately gasped.

"hiss--"

It should be noted that his previous valuations of these pawned items were mainly based on market prices he found online and on a rough estimate of the items' condition upon inspection.

Although he had made money on his previous deals, which seemed to be due to his good judgment, he knew that in reality he was no different from Peng Yunji.

But now that I have this skill, I can accurately judge the value of things. Not only can I make a profit without losing money, but I might also be able to pick up a "big bargain" that others have missed!

For a moment, Irving began to look forward to the arrival of new guests, so he could try out his newly acquired skills.

After waiting for a while and seeing that there were no new customers, Owen suddenly remembered the silver Colt M1873 single-action revolver he had bought at the flea market an hour earlier!

The safe was opened the instant Owen's fingers touched the revolver.

Sure enough, the notification sound rang out again, just as expected.

"Equipped with the [First Generation Sharpshooter's Sidearm], equip?"

Irving immediately selected the equipment, and the next second, the equipment slot appeared before his eyes, followed by a panel of information.

Equipped Item: [The First Sharpshooter's Sidearm]

Rank: ★★★★★

Equipment effect: Grants the Sharpshooter skill (unique passive).

Note: This is the sidearm of James Butler Hickock, a legendary sniper during the American Civil War. He once fired six shots in two seconds, killing six people and earning him the title of the first "sniper"!

When equipped, mastering the assembly techniques of twenty different firearms and successfully killing one person with the gun will unlock and permanently grant you all the effects of the equipment.

Current progress: [0/20]

Upon seeing the information that popped up on the panel, Irving was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of question marks.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen a five-star level special equipment!

Although he doesn't yet know just how powerful this [Sharpshooter] skill is, he's certain that as a five-star level special equipment, the equipment effects attached to this [First Generation Sharpshooter's Sidearm] must be incredibly powerful!

You can tell from the difficulty of unlocking the skills.

"Mastered the assembly techniques of 20 different firearms and successfully killed one person with a gun..."

The difficulty of unlocking the skill attached to this equipment is simply the most difficult skill unlocking condition Irving has ever encountered.

The requirement of "mastering the assembly techniques of twenty different firearms" is manageable, since there are so many instructional videos online, and my pawn shop also has several types of firearms that I can practice with; it just takes some time.

But it would be difficult for the person on the other side to successfully kill someone with a gun.

"kill……"

To be honest, in all the days he'd been in America, he'd seen quite a few homeless people disappear the next day, vanishing completely from the face of the earth.

I've also seen online reports of Black people being discriminated against and mistakenly shot by biased police officers.

Ultimately, however, all of this stems from the cruelty of American society.

If it really came down to killing someone with a gun, Irving thought it was better to pass.

But considering that this was a five-star level special equipment, Irving was somewhat unwilling to give up.

After thinking for a long time, Irving picked up the tablet next to him and began searching for the application requirements and procedures for CCW gun licenses.
