142: Nuclear gun, high-energy laser gun

"Awakening Sixfold?"

9156 and 9161 widened their eyes, looking at Luo Chen in surprise. His strength exceeded their expectations.

Currently, most of the Train Conductors who joined at the same time as them had not yet been able to complete their awakening and could only rely on the Wanderer Commerce Guild's awakening chamber.

However, the man in front of them had already reached Awakening Sixfold without external help. He was indeed the top existence in the region, always a step ahead.

"What's wrong? Is my strength too low?" Luo Chen asked intentionally.

"No, no, no!" 9156 and 9161 quickly shook their heads.

9156 replied, "You are the strongest I have encountered so far. The strongest person I met before was only at Awakening Fourfold, and a large number of people haven't even completed their awakening yet."

Luo Wan Ning understood Luo Chen's intention and asked with a smile, "Could we possibly be stronger than your boss?"

9156 gave Luo Wan Ning a deep look before explaining, "We don't know the boss's strength either. We only joined the Wanderer Commerce Guild a few days ago, and the information we've gathered about the boss from others is very, very limited. We don't know much more than you."

"Boss Ma is truly mysterious," Luo Wan Ning chuckled, feigning envy as she said, "Congratulations! You two will have a stable life from now on, no longer needing to worry about where your next meal comes from."

"Miss Luo, it's too early to say that!" 9156 showed a wry smile and said, "We just joined, with no way back, so we can only take it one step at a time."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a moment. Seeing that the woman in front of them was tight-lipped and Luo Wan Ning couldn't dig out any more information, Luo Chen also gave up.

He returned to the original topic, saying,

"Tell me, what kind of weapon is suitable for Awakening Sixfold? It should ideally be able to kill enemies below Awakening Tenfold. If it's suitable, I can purchase a large quantity."

9156 pondered for a moment and replied, "I recommend you purchase the nuclear gun. Below the Awakening realm, it has lethality at close range. At long range, it only has some lethality against those below Awakening Fiftyfold. Above Fiftyfold, with their reaction speed, they can dodge it in advance.

However, this weapon is a bit expensive. Each one costs 5000 star coins, and we will include two nuclear magazines. Each magazine has 1000 rounds. If you want more, you need to purchase them separately, and each nuclear magazine costs 500 star coins."

5000 star coins is 50 train coins. If everyone were equipped with one, it would seem a bit expensive.

"Is there anything cheaper?" Luo Chen asked.

9156 had expected Luo Chen's reaction. Many Train Conductors had the same response after hearing the price.

She smiled slightly and spoke softly,

"Yes! The high-energy laser gun only costs 500 star coins. It doesn't require bullets; you just charge it up to fire. Compared to the nuclear gun, it saves on bullet costs. However, its damage is weaker, only able to harm those below Awakening Thirtyfold, and there's even a certain chance it can be dodged."

Luo Chen frowned, feeling a bit conflicted.

The nuclear gun was effective below One Hundredfold, but its price and cost were higher.

Although the high-energy laser gun was cheaper, it could only be used up to Awakening Thirtyfold. After that, regardless of its condition, it would need to be replaced, and in the end, he might still have to buy a nuclear gun.

After a moment of thought, he decided to look at the actual items before making a decision: "Please show them both to me!"

"This way, please! Firearms and weapons are on the other side." 9156 nodded with a smile and led the group to a wall.

The hundred-square-meter wall was neatly covered with various firearms and weapons of different shapes, some short, some long and thick, and a considerable number were painted in different colors.

9156 turned and took a dark short gun from the wall. It looked only slightly longer than a pistol, but the barrel was much thicker, almost the width of an adult's wrist.

"This is the standard nuclear gun. Its effects are similar to what I just described. Within 200 meters, for those below Awakening Fiftyfold, based on our combat investigations, the kill rate is approximately 80%.

Besides the standard model, if you desire better portability or greater long-range lethality, we also offer different customized models. However, compared to the standard model, their damage might be significantly reduced."

As she spoke, 9156 took down two more.

One of them was mini-sized, about the size of a palm, plump, and looked like a small pistol;

The other was shaped like a sniper rifle, with a very long barrel and an auxiliary scope attached.

Luo Wan Ning held the mini-sized gun in her hand, her eyes burning as she caressed it, as if admiring a rare treasure.

The gun in her hand was entirely like white jade, without any metallic luster. It seemed not to be made of metal, but rather like a piece of white porcelain, and its shape was quite adorable. She fell in love with it at first sight.

Luo Chen, on the other hand, picked up the other weapon, which resembled a sniper rifle. After examining it carefully, he asked with some interest, "Are the prices of these two also the same?"

"The one in your wife's hand is worth 6000 star coins, and this long one you have is 8000 star coins." 9156 smiled politely, seeing that the two had an intention to buy, and struck while the iron was hot, asking, "Sir, would you like to try them out?"

"We can even test fire?" Luo Chen was surprised. He hadn't expected this Ma Baiyun fellow to be so good at business.

Each nuclear gun bullet was worth 5 star coins. If everyone test-fired one round, it would undoubtedly be a significant expense. He was truly generous.

Furthermore, with the guns loaded, and in the hands of the buyers, he wasn't afraid of people doing a "zero-dollar purchase," grabbing them and running.

"Of course, this way, please. We have a dedicated test-firing area."

Subsequently, 9156 led Luo Chen and his seven companions to a partitioned room, with 9161 following closely behind, carrying three guns.

Upon entering the room, it was noisy, causing the group to frown unconsciously.

Luo Chen noticed that many people were currently test-firing guns. They had their backs to the door, looking excited, and no one seemed to notice Luo Chen and his group entering.

In front of them, to Luo Chen and his group's surprise, their targets were living creatures: Dinosaur Zombies, Goblins, and also humans.

"This area is the liveliest spot on the entire Train. Most Train Conductors come in with the primary goal of purchasing weapons, which causes many people to gather here constantly."

9156 raised her voice, explaining as she led the group directly to a remote display rack.

Then she tapped her wrist a few times and turned back, saying, "Sir, your strength is Awakening Sixfold. I can provide you with targets below Awakening Tenfold for free."

"What about those above Awakening Tenfold?" Luo Chen asked curiously. If possible, he wanted to test the maximum lethality.

"Each one requires 500 star coins, and the stronger the strength, the higher the price!" 9156 gave an awkward smile.
