Chapter 51: Booming Business!

Early the next morning, Qian Long brought Tang Zhen to the stall rental area in the Wanderer's Town, where they leased an unremarkable stall.

Over the past few days, shops and stalls in Wanderer's Town had been in extremely high demand. Because a huge number of foreign wanderers had arrived, business was naturally booming, and almost all the remaining stalls had already been rented out.

Once the lease was finalized, the two returned to the cave to transport their goods.

After hauling the items over and arranging them neatly into different categories, they began to peddle and sell them.

Passing wanderers, catching sight of the dazzling array of goods at the stall, were immediately drawn over and began asking questions about their uses and prices all at once.

One had to admit that the items Tang Zhen brought had a very strong market in this world.

Because of the mysterious multi-dimensional buildings known as Wild Towers, many items from the original world were frequently discovered by wanderers, so they recognized several of these commodities.

For instance, lighters and soap were instantly recognized by everyone. As a daily necessity, table salt was an absolute must-have item for every wanderer.

After inquiring about the prices, the wanderers felt that the goods were not very expensive at all, and could even be considered cheap.

Soon, wanderers began pulling out brain cores to purchase the items that caught their eye, mostly consisting of lighters and small tools.

Foot traffic in Wanderer's Town was currently massive. The goods Tang Zhen brought failed to last until nightfall before being completely sold out.

Even the few steel sabers he had placed on the stall for a trial run were snapped up by a few extravagant wanderers.

Seeing such explosive business, Tang Zhen was overjoyed.

When they tallied up the earnings that evening, the merchandise had sold for nearly two thousand brain cores in total—definitely qualifying as exorbitant profits.

To the wanderers, Tang Zhen's goods were well worth the price. To Tang Zhen, items that merely cost a thousand or eight hundred yuan in his world had been exchanged for two thousand brain cores, making it an absolute killing!

Their value systems were simply different, and neither side felt shortchanged.

In high spirits, Tang Zhen pondered how many gold coins he could exchange these brain cores for after absorbing them, and what applications he could download next.

During dinner, the cave was filled with laughter and cheerful voices. Everyone sat gathered around the campfire, roasting the sausages brought by Tang Zhen while planning their future business, their words brimming with longing and anticipation.

This scene was deeply heartwarming, with blissful smiles radiant on everyone's faces. The warmth of the bonfire made their hearts warm as well, instilling their lives with hope and their futures with purpose.

Tang Zhen watched the little girl and Big Bear playing together, a trace of a smile lingering at the corners of his eyes.

That afternoon while selling goods, he had caught sight of the bearded man and his gang passing by on the street of Wanderer's Town.

Tang Zhen noticed that when the bearded man and his associates looked at their stall, their gazes seemed filled with unadulterated greed.

Their behavior sent a chill through his heart. That bastard appeared to have set his sights on them; if violence hadn't been strictly prohibited inside Wanderer's Town, he and his lackeys probably would have already rushed over to rob them.

Actually, Tang Zhen secretly hoped those guys would attempt a robbery, as the guards of Wanderer's Town would then step in directly and wipe out the bearded man and his crew!

However, the greedy looks in their eyes also made up his mind to eliminate this hidden threat as soon as possible.

Such a fellow absolutely could not be allowed to live, or there was no telling when he might suddenly turn around and take a vicious bite out of him.

Tang Zhen turned it over in his mind: how should he get rid of this guy?

He considered that now that he possessed a rifle, capable of neutralizing enemies from a distance, it seemed like the optimal weapon to take down this fellow.

Although Tang Zhen could also use applications like the quantum stealth screen and infrasonic weapons to try and eliminate the bearded man, he could not be certain whether the bearded man might see through his invisibility. After all, these wanderers possessed rich combat experience and might very well have a way to lock onto him.

Tang Zhen was not arrogant enough to think his close-quarters combat ability surpassed that of the bearded man, whose life had been tempered by countless battles—their combat experience was simply not on the same level.

If his invisibility could indeed be broken, the danger of close-quarters combat would increase exponentially, making it an unviable option.

As for infrasonic weapons, they counted as one of Tang Zhen's ultimate trump cards and were not to be used lightly.

According to the instruction manual, the impact radius of this device could reach fifty kilometers, causing unconsciousness, delirium, and organ rupture, with an extremely high fatality rate.

Had that infrasonic weapon not possessed a directional function that allowed Tang Zhen to aim it directly at the Corpse King avatar so that the sound waves penetrated underground, he would never have used it so casually.

Heaven only knows how many wanderers might be standing along the direction of emission if he used this thing. To avoid harming the innocent, this method was best avoided unless strictly necessary.

Thinking it through from all angles, sniping with a rifle ultimately proved to be the most suitable choice.

However, lacking professional training, his shooting skill could only be described as average. Close-range, point-blank shooting was passable, but once the distance exceeded twenty meters, his accuracy dropped drastically.

Yet if he had to get close to the bearded man to shoot, his own situation would become extremely perilous—a truly vexing problem for Tang Zhen.

If he could improve his shooting accuracy even slightly, his confidence in taking down the bearded man would increase by several notches.

As he pondered this, Tang Zhen's eyes lit up.

He suddenly remembered that in the Application Store, there seemed to be an application capable of solving this exact problem, so he hurriedly opened the store interface.

After flipping through and searching, under the warfare category, he indeed found the software that could help him.

The name of this application was the Super Shooting Assistant, divided into four difficulty levels: Junior, Intermediate, Advanced, and Master.

The exchange price for the Junior Shooting Assistant was ten thousand gold coins. Its effect was to spend three seconds performing ballistic correction within a range of two hundred meters, resulting in a hundred percent hit rate under normal circumstances.

Looking at the Intermediate version's effect: ballistic correction within one thousand meters, guaranteed hits on every shot without a single miss, while bullets also gained armor-piercing properties.

As for the Master version's effect, it had surpassed the limits of rifle sniping, capable of ballistic correction within five kilometers with absolute accuracy on every shot, alongside acceleration, armor-piercing, and explosive damage effects.

Tang Zhen sighed inwardly. For a sniper, this gadget was practically heaven-defying. Possessing Master-level capability meant one could undoubtedly be called a God of Gunmen; once locked in the crosshairs, death was practically guaranteed.

Good things meant a high price, and the Master-level application actually cost a whopping fifty thousand gold coins!

Moreover, such tiered applications could not be skipped straight to the highest level for download; one had to download them sequentially, step by step.

Tang Zhen curled his lip in secret. Although immensely envious, he was financially strapped and could only gaze at the Master-level effects for a thrill.

The gold coins he currently possessed were not plentiful. Combining his earnings from the day, he had just over twenty thousand—barely enough to download the Junior version of the Super Shooting Assistant application.

The brain cores acquired during the day's sales were kept in Tang Zhen's custody. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was watching, he absorbed half of them, bringing his account balance up to 10,000.

With sufficient gold coins in hand, Tang Zhen did not hesitate to download the Junior Super Shooting Assistant application, completing the download and installation in a mere matter of seconds.
