9: Just playing around.
Once the transaction was finalized, Wang Tianxi was naturally called upon to handle the subsequent transfer of ownership.
The two men then took a car to visit the villa.
As soon as Lu Fan arrived at the villa, the first thing he did was anchor the completion location.
Only after seeing the system prompt confirming successful anchoring did he feel at ease to look around.
It must be said that the house was surrounded by tall trees, making it quiet and secluded.
This perfectly matched Lu Fan's preference for residence.
The interior decoration was also tasteful, and all kinds of furniture and supplies were readily available, allowing for immediate move-in.
What surprised Lu Fan even more was that Building No. 7 showed absolutely no signs of ever being lived in.
This opened his eyes and showed him the legendary trope.
When you're rich, you buy two houses, live in one, and leave the other empty.
Tang Jifeng casually pointed to a pile of wooden boxes in the living room of Villa No. 7.
"Brother, that stack over there contains some porcelain, calligraphy, and paintings.
They were all gifts.
It's been so long, I don't remember them anymore. Take a look when you have time.
If you like them, keep them. If not, converting them into money for a few drinks is no problem."
After speaking, he beckoned with his hand, signaling Lu Fan to follow him.
The two arrived at the staircase of Villa No. 8, moved a storage shelf, and revealed a hidden compartment.
Tang Jifeng lowered his voice and said, "Inside, there is a Mosin-Nagant and two Browning M1911s.
Shanghai is currently crawling with demons and monsters, and Traitors and running dogs are everywhere.
Having these gives you peace of mind."
Lu Fan opened the wooden box, and three weapons—one long and two short—appeared before his eyes.
Having been an Anti-Drug Police Officer, he wasn't particularly interested in firearms.
But after just one look, he closed the box.
Tang Jifeng asked, slightly puzzled, "Brother, are you not impressed?"
Lu Fan nodded, smiling without speaking.
Compared to modern weapons, these were truly antiques.
Who would want coarse grain after getting used to fine food!
This expression, seen by Tang Jifeng, immediately ignited his competitive spirit.
You must understand that as a Huangpu graduate, he was now the Garrison Commander.
You could say anything about him being incompetent, but saying the weapons he procured were no good? That was absolutely unacceptable.
"Brother, these weapons are extremely rare. Do you have something better?
Name it, let me hear it."
Lu Fan casually replied, "Other things are hard to mention, they're a bit complicated to set up.
However, getting some small Suicide Drones shouldn't be a problem."
He happened to have a batch of Drones stockpiled in his warehouse.
All he had to do was bring the Drones over and attach hand grenades directly.
A simple and crude Suicide Drone would be complete.
Once deployed in scale, attacking in swarms, they would definitely silence the targets with a single explosion.
He could take care of the enemy while lying in bed.
"Suicide Drone?
You're exaggerating a bit too much. Do you know how much an airplane costs? And 'suicide'?"
Tang Jifeng burst out laughing immediately.
"Not those big planes, just this big..."
Realizing the misunderstanding, Lu Fan immediately started explaining and gesturing.
This explanation instantly petrified Tang Jifeng on the spot.
A plane the size of a notebook,
a flight range of one kilometer,
capable of carrying a 2-kilogram bomb,
and it's wirelessly controlled.
Every word that popped out of Lu Fan's mouth struck his understanding like a massive tidal wave.
"Brother, my dear brother, where is this thing? Let me see it."
Recovering from his shock, Tang Jifeng grabbed Lu Fan's hand and pleaded.
Whether as a professional soldier or a playboy skilled in amusement.
The item Lu Fan described held astonishing appeal for him.
Although he hadn't seen the physical object yet.
Based on the description, he could deduce that this thing was a Great Killer Weapon on the battlefield.
Moreover, this item was highly entertaining, much more interesting than singing and dancing.
"The item isn't here. Next time, I'll bring it for you to see."
Seeing Tang Jifeng's clingy gaze, Lu Fan quickly gave a perfunctory answer and pushed the man away.
"Next time? When is next time? Give me a definite date."
Tang Jifeng immediately turned into sticky candy, holding Lu Fan tightly and demanding a promise.
"This time next week. But let me warn you beforehand, my item is expensive~~~"
Lu Fan directly cast the hook in front of the fish.
He needed to find a place to sell the goods in his warehouse, right!
He couldn't just let them sit there gathering dust!
"Name your price. Even if I don't have money, surely my Garrison Headquarters isn't broke."
Tang Jifeng straightened his suit, looking unconcerned.
Lu Fan realized that Baldy Jiang was the one paying for this.
The hand signal he was about to make for "five" was abruptly changed to "eight."
Tang Jifeng looked at the gesture and muttered, "Eight hundred? That's a little expensive.
I can't afford too many, but getting ten or twenty units should be fine."
At the Pinduoduo price of 299, one silver dollar could buy three units.
He was already grossly overcharging at eighty silver dollars, but he hadn't expected Tang Jifeng to double the price for him.
However, he really couldn't bring himself to charge eight hundred per Drone.
"What are you thinking? I said it's a suicide model, a disposable item, it doesn't need to be that expensive."
"Stop beating around the bush, how much per unit?"
Tang Jifeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it wasn't eight thousand.
"80 per unit, hand grenades not included."
Lu Fan said this while walking out, seeing that Zhao Chengqiang had already brought Wang Tianxi back.
"Who needs hand grenades? I have plenty of those things.
80 US dollars, let's sign the contract immediately."
This price greatly tempted Tang Jifeng, and he immediately started searching for paper and a pen.
"No need to rush. Business requires honesty. We'll discuss the contract in detail after you've seen the goods."
Lu Fan walked toward Wang Tianxi.
The moment he took the property deed from his hand, the system prompt sounded.
Using the excuse of needing the restroom, Lu Fan hid in the cubicle to check.
[Task completed. Reward: 15,000 points, one random Ability Card, one random Equipment Card.]
Lu Fan was very satisfied with this reward.
Just as he was about to draw the items, the system prompt sounded again.
[Task Completion: 200%. Rating: S. Rewards doubled, level increased by one, Equipment Slot unlocked.]
After careful consideration, he noticed some clues.
But he would need to verify this when triggering future tasks to confirm it.
Currently, he urgently wanted to know what these four cards would yield.
Familiar operation, familiar interface, the four cards were opened one by one.
[Ability: Mastery of Code Breaking]
[Ability: Mastery of Surgery]
[Item: nano bulletproof vest]
[Item: multifunctional pen]
After absorbing the abilities and equipping the gear, Lu Fan opened the System Panel.

Lu Fan was in a good mood looking at his enriched System Panel.
After all, this was only the first time. With experience next time, he was confident he could do better.
"Brother, did you fall into the pit?
I'm going out to run some errands. When I get back, I'll take you out for a welcome dinner.
Be sure to wait for me. We won't go home until we're drunk tonight!"
After Tang Jifeng finished speaking, the sound of a car starting up was heard.
Lu Fan saw that it was still early before his scheduled return, so he decided, "If he wants to play, then let's play."
