"Long, thick, black?"

Hearing Ma Ning's words, a mysterious object suddenly floated into Yang Bolin's mind...

He shook his head vigorously, thinking that with Ma Ning's honest facade, he probably wouldn't be joking around.

Forcing those inappropriate thoughts out of his mind, he cupped his hands towards Ma Ning and said:

"This is an extremely rare opportunity, so I kindly ask Shopkeeper Ma to demonstrate for me."

Ma Ning nodded and motioned for Chen Fei to step forward.

Yang Bolin noticed that Chen Fei was holding a somewhat peculiar 'magical artifact' in his hands.

This "magical artifact" had a long body, mostly black with some reddish-brown parts, and looked a bit like a fire stick.

Strangely enough.

Though this artifact looked bizarre, it also possessed an inexplicable sense of elegance and sophistication.

"This is called the 56-style automatic shooter talisman, also known as the Ah San Happy Stick."

Ma Ning accepted the firearm from Chen Fei and gave it a few tosses, then continued:

"Inside, it's filled with something called 7.62mm happy pills. Its power can effortlessly kill beasts below mid-Stage One at a range of about four hundred meters—yes, it activates in large amounts without needing spiritual energy."

The name of this 56-style gun shooter talisman is locally known as the 56-style automatic rifle, originally modeled after the Bear's AK47, but the rabbits turned it into a fan-made piece surpassing the official version.

The 56-style officially belongs to the 56 gun family, which also includes the younger 56 Semi and older brother 56 Machine.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have five pairs of wheels; otherwise, it could have been part of the Five-Nine Modification.

The 56 gun family is the longest-produced gun family by the rabbits, with an astronomical number produced of the 56-style itself.

Back then, when the rabbits decided to make the 56-style family their standard firearm, almost every arms factory across the country was producing these models.

Especially after the fallout with the Bear decades ago, the rabbits began their Third Front construction plan, where Third Front local military enterprises had to be able to produce the 56-style—it became a major requisite of the Third Front construction plan.

There were over a hundred enterprises across the nation capable of producing the 56 gun family back then.

The production capacity was so massive that even the Eagle would take a deep breath if they heard about it, sparking comments of terror.

After 1985, due to weapon upgrades, the 56-style was formally decommissioned and replaced by the 81, with millions of 56-styles going into storage.

The younger 59 Semi can now only be occasionally seen in ceremonial guards.

As of now.

The rabbits still have about five million units of the 56-style gun family in stock, with the 56-style itself numbering between two to three million, essentially the same quality as when they left the factory.

Yes, that's right.

Just like the 67-style Happy Stick, the 56-style automatic shooter talisman is one of the large inventories of the rabbits.

But due to military preparedness reasons, the 56-style's priority isn't as high as the 67-style Happy Stick.

Yet if the opportunity arises.

The rabbits would naturally be willing to clear some stock... ahem, provide a little aid to the people of the other world.

However, Yang Bolin wasn't aware of the rabbits' thoughts, as he watched with curiosity as Chen Fei began loading the bullets.

"This 56-style automatic shooter talisman can be reused many times; you just need to load it with happy pills, making it very cost-effective."

Ma Ning clenched tightly onto the words cost-effective, laying the groundwork for the pricing later, then pointed to Chen Fei:

"Look, it's all assembled, quite convenient, right?"

Yang Bolin nodded without speaking, his eyes fixed on Chen Fei.

"Squad Leader Chen, the red one is a Qi Cultivation Fifth-Layer puppet, beside it are Sixth and Seventh-Layers, with the Eighth-Layer further back..."

Beside Chen Fei, Wei Niandong was explaining the categorization of various armor in the field for him.

After all, the 56 is a single-target weapon, not like a detonator talisman that can be thrown anywhere; it requires selecting a suitable target carefully.

The First-Layer Qi Cultivation is too low to showcase its power, while the Foundation Establishment's shield is too tough to break, leading to awkwardness.

Chen Fei scanned the field, finally selecting a Qi Cultivation Seventh-Layer puppet furthest from him.

The "Two Worlds Weapon Power Comparison Report" submitted by Lin Li's team to the Modu side once mentioned that the rabbits' current 95-style rifle requires six rounds to break through a Qi Cultivation Seventh-Layer's defensive magical artifact.

However, the 95-style uses 5.8mm caliber bullets, which differ in power from the 7.62mm bullets of the 56-style.

Yet, since the rabbits have predominantly equipped 95-style rifles, the report prioritized the versatility of the 5.8mm caliber.

Despite the 7.62mm's greater power, it offers only a slight advantage against the shields of Qi Cultivation Eighth or Ninth-Layers without any qualitative difference.

Once he had selected his target, Chen Fei hesitated no more.

He lifted the 56-style and executed a standard point shot.

"Da, da, da, da..."

Four bullets fired, instantly breaking through the Seventh-Layer puppet's protective surface!

Then Chen Fei aimed at the eighth-layer Qi Cultivation puppet and pulled the trigger.

This time, more bullets were used, a full twelve rounds to successfully break the puppet's defense.

However, this was already enough to surprise Yang Bolin at the side—not because Yang Bolin couldn't keep his composure, but because the manifestation of these 'talismans' by the Rabbits had far exceeded his understanding.

It's like on Earth, if one day you see someone emit a light wave with a "biu" sound, even if that light wave is too weak to obliterate a mere can and only knocks it away, after confirming it is not a prank, you'd probably also be stunned for a while.

No matter how rich one's experience, when witnessing something that challenges their established concepts, they will inevitably reveal their surprise—unless it's someone like Old Thief Sima whose face is expressionless.

Looking at Yang Bolin's surprised expression, Ma Ning at the side once again "honestly" exposed his shortcomings:

"Shopkeeper Yang, I'm embarrassed to say.

The 56-style automatic projectile talisman is ultimately not a joy stick, it can only target individual demon beasts and cannot cause group damage.

You saw it too, it takes twelve rounds to break the protective aura of an eighth-layer Qi Cultivation, and to kill it might need about fifteen rounds. Facing a moving target would require even more.

Thus, in large-scale battles, the consumption of 7.62mm joy pills is extremely high, and with prolonged use, the talisman body might overheat or even become scrap. I had to inform you..."

Hearing this, Yang Bolin regained composure and quickly waved his hand:

"Not at all, Shopkeeper Ma is really too modest.

To kill an eighth-layer Qi Cultivation with a talisman, I have never seen such a thing in my life, let alone the use of fifteen joy pills, even fifty I wouldn't consider a loss."

Yang Bolin felt it might be because Ma Ning came from the other side of the mountains, doing things with the unique simplicity and sincerity of mountain folks, sharing everything.

Self-exposing one's shortcomings like this is definitely a taboo in business.

But Yang Bolin prefers to do business with such straightforward people, who are honest and simple without any calculative mind and won't constantly think of deceiving you.

After all, he is not a fool, always mentally assessing the value of these things.

With such sincere people, whether or not business factors are considered, Yang Bolin is willing to be friends with Ma Ning.

After pondering for a while, Yang Bolin said:

"Shopkeeper Ma, how much is this 56-style automatic projectile talisman? And how is the 7.62mm joy pill priced?"

Ma Ning showed a 'still selling you at cost price' expression, hesitated for a while, then said:

"Shopkeeper Yang, for one 56-style automatic projectile talisman, I'm giving it to you for thirty... never mind, twenty-eight spirit stones each."

"As for the 7.62mm joy pill..."

Ma Ning looked more conflicted, finally gritting his teeth:

"I'll take the plunge too, one spirit stone for thirty rounds, which is about the amount in a magazine.

This is almost at cost price, I'll be straightforward with you, at this price we can indeed make a little profit, but not much."

After hearing Ma Ning's words, Yang Bolin secretly calculated in his heart.

Fifteen rounds of 7.62mm joy pills can kill a Qi Cultivation eighth-layer cultivator—of course, this was shooting at a stationary target effect, in a siege, seventy rounds might be necessary, meaning a 20% hit rate to kill a demon beast of this realm, costing about three spirit stones.

This is a single-target attack, considering the group effect of the joy stick, the real cost-effectiveness shouldn't differ much.

It's just that the usage and strategic purposes of the two 'talismans' differ.

If one talks about profit, it should be in the twenty-eight spirit stones of the 56-style automatic projectile talisman where some can be earned.

The 7.62mm joy pill is definitely supplied at cost price, considering the power, there's likely less than a 5% profit margin.

After carrying these thoughts, Yang Bolin asked Ma Ning:

"Shopkeeper Ma, can the 56-style automatic projectile talisman and the 7.62mm joy pill also be paid for after inspection?"

Ma Ning very straightforwardly nodded:

"That's right, both can be paid upon receipt. You can inspect as much as you want, we will cover all costs!"

After calculating everything in his mind, Yang Bolin ultimately decided to proceed with this business with the Rabbits.

His many years of business experience told him that the Rabbits were indeed sincere trade partners.

Perhaps they were intellectually smart, capable of laying down the groundwork for bottom fishing early.

But in commercial negotiations, they still carried the simple air from the other side of the mountains.

Moreover, since the other party dared to offer payment after delivery and was open to inspection, the quality probably isn't much of an issue.

As the Chief Shopkeeper of Purple Treasure Pavilion and the younger brother of the Yang Family Patriarch Yang Wanli, Yang Bolin had the highest authority in trade matters.

So after a moment, he looked at Ma Ning:

"Shopkeeper Ma, let's sign a contract!"
