Chapter 71 Stainless Steel Pressurized Slingshot!
Li Hong noticed something strange on the shelf near the window.
Its shape seemed familiar, much like a toy from his childhood. But upon closer inspection, it was quite different.
Its entire body gleams with a cold, sharp, silvery sheen, and its lines are so simple and smooth that they are almost bizarre.
The black anti-slip strap tightly wraps around the handle, and the silver and black color scheme adds a unique sense of sophistication.
The rubber bands connecting the two ends of the bow are pale yellow and look exceptionally tough, yet they don't resemble ordinary beef tendons.
He picked it up without thinking. "Miss Jiang, is this... a slingshot?"
Jiang Ling followed his gaze and saw that the shelves were filled with children's toys. There were knives, guns, bows and arrows.
Jiang Ling placed them by the window and left them there without paying any attention to them.
Upon closer inspection of what Li Hong was holding, it became clear that there was an extra toy there that didn't belong to a child.
"This seems... to be a slingshot."
And it's an extremely lethal slingshot!
It is a stainless steel pressure slingshot with built-in laser positioning!
Li Hong loved playing with slingshots since he was a child, and he was the most accurate shooter in the surrounding area. He knew as soon as he picked one up that it was incredibly powerful!
He had seen slingshots made of iron before, but he had never seen one so precisely crafted and so perfectly shaped to fit the palm of his hand in his entire life!
"May I give it a try, Miss Jiang?" Li Hong asked eagerly, his eyes gleaming.
Seeing how much he liked it, Jiang Ling couldn't very well refuse him.
I found a glass bead that I used to play with as a child on the toy shelf and handed it to him.
"Okay, let's try this."
Li Hong paused for a moment as he took the glass bead from Jiang Ling.
Such a crystal-clear glass ball, with beautiful patterns inside, must be very expensive!
Are you just going to use it to shoot for fun?
He had heard that Miss Jiang had many treasures, but surely not to this extent?
Even princes aren't this arrogant!
"Miss Jiang, I... I'll just go outside and pick up a pebble." Li Hong put the glass bead into his pocket.
Jiang Ling followed him outside, not because she was afraid he wouldn't know how to use it, but mainly because she was afraid he would hurt someone.
After all, it was his first time playing with it, and he didn't know how powerful it was.
Lu Qian was also curious about the power of the slingshot, so he followed him outside to take a look.
Li Hong bent down and picked up a suitable-sized pebble from the ground, securing it securely in his pocket. He then looked around for a target.
Finally, the bird was spotted on a dead tree fifty meters away, where it was resting.
Hold your breath, aim, and steadily pull the exceptionally strong rubber band with both arms until it is fully drawn!
Once the fingers loosened—
"Buzz—"
A deep, clear tremor rang out!
Almost at the same time, the small black dot on the withered tree in the distance fell to the ground and landed straight in the grass!
"good!"
Li Hong couldn't help but let out a low shout, looking at the slingshot in his hand with delight.
"This thing is incredibly powerful! I never imagined a slingshot could be so powerful!"
It should be noted that of all the weapons, his most proficient weapon is the slingshot.
Unfortunately, most of their slingshots were made of wood, and the most luxurious ones were made of iron.
However, rubber bands lack elasticity and can only be used to shoot birds at best; they can't even provide basic self-defense.
That's why he had no choice but to abandon the slingshot and choose swords instead.
But now, the slingshot in his hand is dozens of times more powerful than before!
They can hit the target easily from such a long distance.
He really loves it!
"Miss Jiang, young master, I... can I buy it?"
Jiang Ling is just doing business; it doesn't matter who she sells to.
"Of course, wait a moment, I'll get you something."
Jiang Ling walked back to the shop and found a bag of small steel balls on a pile of hardware shelves.
Jiang Ling walked out of the shop, opened the bag, took one out and placed it in his hand.
"If you're just playing around, any small pebble will do, but if you're looking to use it for self-defense, this is much more powerful."
As soon as Li Hong picked it up, he felt a weight in his palm. The small bead was perfectly round, flawlessly polished, and heavy; it was actually made of fine steel!
Even a single one of these is rare, yet Miss Jiang has a whole bag full of them!
Jiang Ling pointed to a tree fifty meters away.
"Try aiming at the thinnest branch on the lower left of that tree."
Li Hong raised the slingshot to aim as instructed, but quickly lowered his hand and shook his head. "No, Miss Jiang, it's too far, the target is too small, I can't aim."
Jiang Ling reached out and felt around on the slingshot handle.
A soft "click" sounded.
The built-in infrared laser sight was activated.
"Try it this way again."
Li Hong watched in surprise as a red line suddenly appeared on the slingshot and shot into the distance.
Before he could ask a question, he raised his hand again and aimed into the distance.
A miraculous thing happened! A clear red dot appeared at the spot he was aiming at!
Li Hong instantly understood: this thing was for helping him aim!
He adjusted the angle slightly, aligning the red dot with the thinnest branch on the tree.
Release your fingers!
"Buzz—"
The three of them watched helplessly as the branch in the distance snapped in an instant!
You can also see splinters of wood flying in the air.
Li Hong was stunned and stood there in shock.
That's amazing!
This slingshot, paired with that steel ball, is incredibly powerful!
If used in ranged combat, the consequences are predictable!
He made up his mind that even if it meant going bankrupt, he would buy the slingshot and the bag of steel balls in Miss Jiang's hand!
Lu Qian also witnessed the power of the slingshot. His heart was also stirred.
It turns out that Miss Jiang not only has life-saving "miracle medicines" here, but also deadly weapons!
Lu Qian thought to himself, "This slingshot is really amazing. It's small and convenient, making it perfect for hunting. Does Miss Jiang have any more? I'd like to buy one too."
Jiang Ling shook her head: "It's a pity, this is the only one left."
I don't know why the previous grocery store owner bought this slingshot; it seems like he never used it after buying it.
Around noon, Lu Qian and Li Hong finally returned.
When they left, they also took with them five lighters, five flashlights, a slingshot, and a bag of steel balls from Jiangling's general store.
There was also a bag of odds and ends, but he thought they were useful.
In addition, there were several bags of snacks, drinks, and desserts.
Jiang Ling happily counted the money; sure enough, it was another big customer!
"Coo coo—"
Jiang Ling's stomach growled twice before she realized that she hadn't eaten a single grain of rice since she woke up in the morning.
I bought some cosmetics and also got some dim sum to go; it's still on the table behind the counter.
The aroma of food was already wafting through the air, and she was about to eat.
The table was filled with boxes of all sizes, and only after finishing a plate of rice noodle rolls did I feel alive again.
I also ate a plate of shumai, a plate of steamed dumplings, a plate of chicken feet, and a large bowl of porridge.
Happiness increases as the feeling of fullness increases.
Looking at the third of the food left on the table, there was no doubt that she had ordered too much again.
With nothing much to do at noon, Jiang Ling replenished the shelves.
I took a nap with the door open, and when I woke up, the sun was beginning to set.
Several more luxurious carriages appeared at the entrance.
