Just as Mark said earlier, it is tough to procure the bullets. Whether it is the weapon or a bullet, he only needs one click but getting 200,000 bullets is the same as clicking 200,000 times. It is a nightmare that Mark doesn't want to go through.
That's why he will take time to produce those while finding out a way to manually produce them in the real world.
On the other hand, there is a bulk option of 250 in number on 7.62x39mm rounds. So, he could mass-produce them while wearing the glove of creation which increases his success rate by 25%.
However, Mark cannot say all of these to Feng Wu. So, he had to follow up with an excuse too.
He explained, "Ever since the Emperor announced the firearms becoming an official weapon for the masses to use, I'm receiving too many customers.
Almost 80% of all the bullets at the store were sold out today. I need to keep some for the store too. So, by next Sunday, all I can procure is about 10,000 regular bullets. 10,000 per week is my limit.
This is why I have advised you to buy Ak-47s. They are easy to use and cheaper than other assault rifles. More than that, their ammunition is also 7.62mmx39mm. They are as powerful as shotguns but have a higher rate of fire.
Think about it."
But, Feng Wu rejected Mark's suggestion. He shook his head, "no, we don't have time to train in new weapons. All of them are highly accustomed to these P-365s and revolvers. Adding Shotguns, rocket launchers, and Panzers would already strain them a lot.
Maybe, once we took back our kingdom, I will raise an army with separate divisions, where each one would handle a type of weapon."
After a brief amount of silence, Mark nodded, "it's your wish. Anyway, one week later, Alina will bring them to you and will even give a crash course on how to operate the vehicle and the other weapons.
But, you should remember that even if you failed and got surrendered, my name shouldn't be dragged. You have just bought these through different spies as I'm delaying it on purpose.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnlike you, I neither have kith nor kin. The moment the Imperial Palace acts against me with hostility, I will start a war where I wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice thousands of innocents to achieve my goal. Such an outcome isn't in anyone's interest."
Feng Wu stayed on the spot like a statue and stared at him with a trace of surprise on his face. In the end, he commented, "I really wonder what kind of grudge you have, against the Imperial family."
Mark didn't say anything to it and stayed silent.
Feng Wu also didn't stay for a long time and quickly left with his mask on. As the spies, who were acting as beggars, had already heard his purpose at the beginning, they really believed that he is an envoy from Heavens Sect and didn't dare to stop and question him.
As a result, Feng Wu escaped without raising suspicions.
Later, Alina returned downstairs to inform her master about the dinner only to realize that their employee had left the store.
Mark originally wanted to spend this happy day with a fellow human like Chang Bo but that opportunity was lost and he was forced to eat the 20-course meal, all alone.
Sensing his emotions, Alina also joined him with the eating to give him company. Even though she is an Android, she could easily digest all the food without leaving any wastage like the humans. Of course, it doesn't mean that she enjoys it.
Unfortunately, she's incapable of enjoying the food of the humans.
Solar energy from the sun, natural energy from the surroundings, ether energy from the crystals, and electricity from the poles, are some of the things she likes to consume even though those things wouldn't give her any extra benefit except to improve her mood. The same goes for Allen too.
Mark's mood had gotten better when the Androids joined him. As the beasts were sleeping, he didn't disturb them and just enjoyed the dinner with the two of them.
After he was done, he went to his room and sat on his bed. After creating like 100 bullets, he finally went to sleep.
Two days later;
It is the day when the lottery wheel resets. As soon as he saw it was available, Mark absorbed 3 points of luck from Chang Bo to reach 10 points of luck and proceeded with the lottery.
"Open Lottery Wheel"
As he clicked on it, 300 credits have been deducted as usual and the wheel started spinning.
Maybe, his ten points of luck have worked on the wheel that he was given what he wanted to acquire for so long time.
When the wheel stopped, the arrow was pointing at the question mark. The last time he got it, he unlocked Panzer. Mark couldn't help but wonder what it might be.
*Ding! A mysterious package has been sent to the inventory.
"Open inventory."
Mark was filled with excitement as he clicked on the slot with a question mark image. He clicked on open.
*Ding! You have unlocked VTLM2-NEC. Check your inventory for details.
"Hmm? Never heard of such a code name. I wonder what it might be…" Mark curiously opened the inventory and scrolled to the right to go to the last slot.
His eyes immediately lit up as found a vehicle that looked more like a jeep, instead of some tank.
"Oh, this looks like Iveco LMV isn't it?" Mark clicked on it and opened the details.
