11: Redeem now! Unlimited ammo for the Desert Eagle!

"Yes, theoretically it's possible."

"Theoretically?"

Lin Zhan keenly caught the word. "What do you mean by 'theoretically'? Are there some restrictions?"

This was crucial!

If they could equip the contestant...

...with such a heaven-defying artifact before the dungeon started...

...it would be like starting with a royal flush!

Su Yuan organized his thoughts and explained:

"Because I'm not clear yet how items exchanged through the mall are delivered to the contestants. Do they appear directly in their backpacks? Or do they need to be transmitted through some other means? The system hasn't explained any of this."

He paused and continued:

"Moreover, we only have 1000 national fortune points right now. Exchanging for this desert eagle will leave us with nothing left."

"This is a one-time investment. If this gun fails to perform as expected or if something unexpected happens, we won't have any room to maneuver."

Su Yuan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heated hearts.

Right, they had been too caught up in the excitement.

Li Guodong also quickly calmed down. He sat back down, brow furrowed, and began to rapidly analyze the pros and cons.

"Comrade Su Yuan has considered this very thoroughly. First, the delivery method of the items is an unknown."

"If it can't be delivered to the contestant at the very start of the dungeon, then these 1000 points will have been wasted."

"Secondly, this is our entire fortune; it's a huge gamble."

"The desert eagle is immensely powerful, but its recoil is equally staggering, and the gunfire will attract a large number of zombies."

"Without fully understanding the dungeon mechanics, using it rashly might backfire."

He looked at Lin Zhan:

"Old Lin, what's your opinion?"

Lin Zhan didn't answer immediately. He paced back and forth in the cabin,

his tall figure exerting immense pressure on the others.

His brain was working at high speed, weighing every possibility.

This was a difficult choice.

To gamble, or not to gamble?

"Wang Yi."

Lin Zhan suddenly stopped and uttered the name in a deep voice.

"You've all seen his file. Three-time champion of the All-Army Fighting Competition, champion of the International Special Forces Shooting Competition, climbed a hundred-meter cliff barehanded, and a wilderness survival expert."

"His physical fitness and shooting skills are among the very best in all of Dragon Kingdom."

"The recoil of a desert eagle is not an issue for him."

"As for the gunfire attracting zombies..."

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Zhan's eyes.

"So what if they're attracted? Infinite bullets mean infinite firepower! As long as he finds a defensible spot, he alone is a mobile turret! No matter how many come, he'll kill them all!"

In the very bones of this Dragon Kingdom God of War,

there was a fearless aggressiveness!

In his view, the best defense was a good offense!

Listening to Lin Zhan's analysis, Li Guodong's eyes gradually lit up.

"You mean... we gamble?"

"Gamble!"

Lin Zhan said decisively.

"If we don't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I'll regret it for the rest of my life! Being timid will never make us the ultimate winner!"

"We have the perfect walkthrough provided by Comrade Su Yuan, paired with this artifact—double insurance! If we don't dare to gamble even with this, how can we talk about the rise of a great power!"

These words made the blood of all the staff officers present boil.

Exactly! With a walkthrough and an artifact, what was there to fear!

"Good! Then we gamble!"

Li Guodong also slammed the table, making up his mind.

"Comrade Su Yuan, exchange it! Let's see just how miraculous this so-called artifact really is!"

Everyone's gaze...

...once again focused on Su Yuan.

Su Yuan looked at the two decisive generals before him.

The pride in his heart was also completely ignited.

Working with people like this was truly satisfying!

"Alright!"

Su Yuan no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath and issued a command to the system in his mind.

"System, open the [Arena Mall]!"

A pale blue virtual panel unfolded instantly,

and a dazzling array of items appeared.

Su Yuan's gaze locked directly onto the item priced at 1000 national fortune points.

[Item: desert eagle (Infinite Bullet Version)]

[Price: 1000 national fortune points]

[Effect: A powerful handgun with infinite bullets.]

[Note: Can be designated for delivery to any contestant of the home country.]

"It can be designated for delivery!"

Su Yuan saw that small line in the notes and almost shouted out in excitement.

This solved the biggest problem!

"It can be designated for delivery to a contestant!"

Su Yuan immediately told this good news to Lin Zhan and Li Guodong.

"Great!"

Li Guodong pumped his fist excitedly.

"This way, we won't have any worries!"

A look of relief appeared on Lin Zhan's face as well. He looked at Su Yuan and urged:

"Then exchange it immediately! Designate it for delivery to Contestant No. 1, Wang Yi!"

"Understood!"

Su Yuan thought to himself:

"Exchange [desert eagle (Infinite Bullet Version)], designated for delivery to Dragon Kingdom's Contestant No. 1, Wang Yi!"

[Confirm spending 1000 national fortune points to exchange for the desert eagle (Infinite Bullet Version) for Dragon Kingdom contestant Wang Yi?]

"Confirm!"

As Su Yuan's thought fell, the amount of national fortune points in the top right corner of the system panel instantly changed from [1000] to [0].

At the same time, the desert eagle item icon, shimmering with a metallic luster,

turned into a golden light and vanished from the mall interface.

[Exchange successful!]

[Item 'desert eagle (Infinite Bullet Version)' has been successfully delivered to contestant Wang Yi's personal space and will be automatically acquired upon entering the dungeon.]

It's done!

Su Yuan looked at the system prompt, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.

He looked up at Lin Zhan and Li Guodong, a smile appearing on his face:

"Chiefs, it's done. The gun has been delivered to Wang Yi's personal space. He'll get it as soon as he enters the dungeon."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Lin Zhan said "good" three times in a row.

He patted Su Yuan's shoulder forcefully,

with enough strength that Su Yuan felt like his bones were about to fall apart.

This stern God of War was as excited as a child right now.

The atmosphere in the cabin instantly reached its peak!

Everyone knew they had just made a major decision that could affect the national fortune of Dragon Kingdom!

While they were celebrating, no one noticed that on Su Yuan's system panel,

the [Permission Log] module, which had been grayed out, flickered quietly,

and a new line of record appeared.

[Log: Administrator Su Yuan used national fortune points for the first time to exchange items for a home country contestant.]

[Log: Triggered hidden permission — 'Consumption Rebate'.]

[Log: Rebate settling... Settlement complete.]

[Log: Congratulations to Administrator Su Yuan for receiving a personal reward — 'Fighting Technique Mastery (Basic)'!]

"Huh?"

Su Yuan was in the middle of sharing the joy

when a series of system prompts suddenly rang in his mind,

leaving him stunned.

Consumption Rebate?

Personal reward?

Fighting technique mastery?

Before he could react,

a massive and pure stream of information

instantly flooded into his brain!

Kicks, strikes, throws, grapples, joint locks... muscle memories of countless basic fighting techniques, force-exertion methods, and practical applications,

as if they were innate,

were deeply imprinted into his physical instincts.

His body underwent a wonderful transformation in an instant.

Although his strength and speed hadn't increased,

he could clearly feel

that his control over his body

had reached an unprecedented level.

It felt as though if he wished,

he could easily perform various high-difficulty fighting moves.

"Holy crap!"

Su Yuan swore in his heart.

This... this works too?!

Spending money for the country and getting a rebate himself?

This system is too generous!

This is Fighting Technique Mastery worth 500 national fortune points!

Just given to him for free?

Su Yuan suppressed his inner ecstasy, remaining calm on the surface.

He stole a glance at the system panel, and sure enough, in the [Arena Mall],

the [Fighting Technique Mastery (Basic)] item had turned gray and was displayed as "Acquired."

With Fighting Technique Mastery,

he now had the means to protect himself,

and even strong combat capabilities!

This discovery made his confidence in the future even stronger!

Just then, the plane's fuselage jolted suddenly and began to descend slowly.

They had arrived at the Capital.
