Xu Qi and his companions had never seen a crystal energy gun before. They just felt that the gun looked different and couldn't find the magazine.

There is no magazine, only a large groove. How can it be fired or used?

Misty frowned. "Is Tan Yong hiding a bunch of junk? That doesn't make sense."

He looked at Mu Qiqi, seeking an answer.

Mu Qiqi waved her hands frantically:

"Don't ask me. I guess even Qu Jingwen doesn't know. Tan Yong doesn't trust anyone. Even if he told Qu Jingwen that there were guns hidden here, he wouldn't tell her what they were."

Just as everyone was speculating, Su Tao said in a deep voice:

"Fang Zhi, quickly put it away and let's go."

Lin Fangzhi walked around and swept into the space with a quack.

The group climbed up one by one and got on the bus to return.

Su Tao stretched out her hand towards Fang Zhi: "Hold out one and let me take a look first."

Lin Fangzhi handed it to her.

Everyone in the car looked at Su Tao.

Su Tao frowned and looked at it over and over again. Although the appearance was very similar to the crystal energy gun, with the same grooves and muzzle, there were differences.

For example, the crystal energy gun is completely transparent, exquisite and beautiful, and it is also light and compact, making it easy to carry.

This gun is made of steel like an ordinary gun and is heavy.

"Give me another crystal core."

Lin Fangzhi handed it to her like Doraemon.

Su Tao stuffed the crystal core into the card slot, rolled down the window, and aimed outside——

Everyone seemed to understand something, holding their breath and opening their eyes wide with excitement.

Su Tao pulled the trigger——

Nothing happened.

Su Tao was stunned and tried to press the button again, but it still didn't move.

And the crystal core is not consumed like when using the crystal energy gun.

Everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Su Tao was slightly embarrassed, she put away the gun, rolled up the car window, and coughed twice:

"There might be something we don't know how to switch. Let's take it back to show Grandma Yu, the weapons expert."

When they returned to Taoyang, Xu Qi couldn't help but look for Su Tao and said:

"Boss, I don't think these guns are very reliable. If they were really crystal-energy guns, Tan Yong would have had us use them to invade other bases and conquer the world for him. He's a very ambitious man, and there's no way he would keep such a good thing hidden away."

Su Tao agreed with what he said.

The power of the crystal energy gun is so incredible that even if it is shot from a long distance, it can kill the thick-fleshed blood sickle with one shot.

The most important thing is that non-superpowered people can also use the crystal energy gun.

If Tan Yong had a room full of crystal energy guns, he could easily rise up in rebellion. As long as he had enough manpower, he would have a good chance of taking down Xindu.

It is indeed unreasonable to hide it and not use it.

Xu Qi said solemnly:

"I guess these guns were defective ones he secretly obtained. He went to great lengths to get them back, but they were unusable. He couldn't bear to throw them away, but was afraid of being discovered, so he had to hide them."

Su Tao nodded: "What you said makes sense."

"So, Boss, let's buy a batch of weapons from regular channels. It's more reliable."

Su Tao asked hesitantly, "How much does it cost?"

A long time ago, Shi Zijin took her to Dongyang to buy her first pistol in her life. It was so damn expensive that it left a huge psychological trauma on her.

Xu Qi, at least someone who had managed things at the old station, did some mental calculations and blurted out:

"If a mid-range gun costs 100,000 federal coins, we need to buy at least 50, which is 5 million."

Su Tao breathed a sigh of relief and turned into the wealthy Boss Su again:

"Okay, go find Qian Rongrong and withdraw the money. I'll give you a limit of eight million."

She must have been very poor in the past, which is why she has the psychological trauma of thinking that weapons are expensive.

Xu Qi was given the important task of finding a channel to purchase weapons.

Who would have known that there was a purchase restriction in Taoyang if he hadn’t asked?

"Hey, Brother Xu, don't make things difficult for me. Someone from above specifically said that no weapons can be sold to you Taoyang. Anyone who dares to sell will have their business ended."

Xu Qi's face darkened: "Who is the boss?"

"How would I know? I'm just a small errand boy. Why don't you think about it carefully and see if I've offended any of the big guys in this industry?"

Xu Qi sneered, "I don't believe anyone can resist money. If your place doesn't work, I'll go find another one."

However, he contacted three suppliers in succession, but they all declined his offer.

Now the matter was a little serious, so Xu Qi did not delay and immediately reported it to Su Tao.

"You rejected them all? Did you say you would buy them at a premium?"

Xu Qi frowned and nodded. "I told them I could offer a 10% premium, but they refused without hesitation. We might have offended someone with considerable power."

Su Tao looked up at the sky speechlessly:

"The mastermind is most likely someone from the Shou'an base. We previously refused to sell them supplies, and we even had a major conflict at the Alliance Summit. They're deliberately trying to squeeze us this time."

Xu Qi felt a bit stuck. "How about I look for weapons suppliers from various sources? Since the fall of the city, Shou'an's sphere of influence has dwindled, and his control over the weapons market isn't as strong as before. I think there will always be someone willing to sell to us, it just takes some time."

Su Tao followed his lead, but she felt that the plan to purchase weapons from outside might fail.

The restriction on weapons purchases in Taoyang may not only involve Shouan's family.

Those bases or organizations with armed forces who cannot bear to see Taoyang become stronger will be happy to get involved.

Taoyang is now like a baby in armor, and once he has a weapon, he will become a warrior with a sharp blade.

Taoyang like this is very scary.

No matter how prosperous Taoyang is, it is not a threat without weapons because it has no fighting power.

Those shrewd al-Qaeda leaders had seen through all of this long ago and cut off Taoyang's channels for purchasing weapons in advance, strangling the terrifying Taoyang warriors in the cradle.

When Su Tao realized this, she felt her shoulders were particularly heavy.

Although they feel respectable after gaining fame, they also feel like they are surrounded by enemies. They don’t know how many eyes are watching them behind the scenes, and how many dark hands are fanning the flames, making the undercurrent surging.

It’s really not that easy to be a boss.

Su Tao calmed down and went to find Grandma Yu with a broken gun she had dug out from the ground.

The first thing Granny Yu asked when she saw her was, "I asked Meng Qian to remind you to buy weapons. Did you buy them?"

"I came to you just to talk about this. Taoyang has been restricted from purchasing weapons. I don't think any company will sell us weapons right now."

Granny Yu was stunned for a moment, then figured out the key after two seconds and murmured:

"I should have thought of this earlier. They're not fools. How could they have given you weapons? Seeing you become so powerful, I've become confused."

Su Tao took out the gun and handed it to her:

"There's another way to go, but whether it can be accomplished depends on you. Do you know how to use this gun? Or if it doesn't work, can you fix it?"

Granny Yu didn't even answer. She was stunned after taking a look at it. She asked in surprise:

"Where did you find this? This is the gun I made, but a long time ago."
