After being introduced by Li Xingping, Wang Bin met three veteran craftsmen. Once they learned that Wang Bin was the real boss behind the scenes, they treated him with great respect, as he offered high wages.

By the time they finished their work, it was almost time for dinner. Wang Bin decided to invite You Hongfei over, and they all went out for a meal.

The three craftsmen found Wang Bin to be very amiable and good to his employees, which left them quite satisfied. They drank quite a bit at the dinner table.

Xiao Kai had the best alcohol tolerance among them, but he restrained himself for work and only drank a small amount.

After the meal, the three craftsmen were a bit tipsy. They reminisced about the times they worked together in the past. After the economic reforms, their unit was dissolved, and they each went their separate ways. This was the first time they had gathered to work together again, which made them a bit emotional.

Wang Bin asked You Hongfei to take the three craftsmen back to rest, while he went alone to the warehouse to receive goods, as he needed to return to the Apocalypse that night.

On his drive back, Wang Bin noticed a store by the roadside selling fitness equipment. Surprisingly, it also sold swords and other martial arts training gear.

Intrigued by the equipment, Wang Bin parked his car and walked into the store.

"Sir, what would you like to buy?"

"I'd like to buy some weapons."

"Ah, right this way. We have all eighteen types of weapons, and we can also customize them!"

"Great, let me take a look first!"

Hearing about customization, Wang Bin's eyes lit up.

After browsing, he smiled and asked, "How many Red Tassel Spears do you have here?"

"Only ten left!"

"Oh, ten it is. I'll take them all. What about sabers and swords?"

"We have ten sabers and twenty swords. If you take them all, I can give you a discount!"

"Alright, I'll take them all!"

"Okay, please wait a moment. I'll pack them for you right away!"

Wang Bin agreed and casually picked up a sword, drawing it out to find it unsharpened.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

"Boss, why aren't these weapons sharpened?"

"Ah! Sharpened? Sir, you must be joking. These are fitness equipment. If they were sharpened, they'd be considered controlled weapons, and that would get you arrested!"

"I see! Can you custom-make a batch of sharpened weapons for me?"

"Ah! That's not easy to do."

"How about this: if you sharpen them for me, I'll pay you triple the price. How about that?"

"Triple? Alright, no problem, but you mustn't tell anyone you bought them from me!"

"Rest assured! In that case, I'll pre-order twenty Red Tassel Spears, twenty sabers, and twenty swords. The quality must be top-notch! By the way, can I order throwing knives?"

"We have throwing knives. Although I don't have samples here, I have a catalog you can choose from."

"Oh, that's good!"

Wang Bin took the catalog from the boss, flipped through it, and selected the styles he liked, then pre-ordered twenty throwing knives.

"Here's a deposit of ten thousand. Don't skimp on the materials. If I'm satisfied, I might even pay you a bit more!"

"Understood! Rest assured, I'll make sure they use the best metal for you!"

"Can you deliver these items to this address now?"

"No problem, I'll have someone deliver them to you right away!"

"Thank you!"

Wang Bin thanked him and drove back to the warehouse. You Hongfei had already purchased all the items on the list for him, so he just needed to go and store them in the system.

Arriving at the warehouse, he found it filled with many items. You Hongfei even got a few large freezers and aquariums, with live fish inside.

Wang Bin smiled wryly. The system didn't allow living creatures, and these fish would die once placed in the system space. Fortunately, the system could preserve them to prevent spoilage.

As he was about to store the items in the system space, he remembered there was still a tank inside. Now that the Jinbei Van had been converted into a tank, he needed to stock up on more gasoline.

He really wanted to summon the tank and try sitting inside, but the warehouse space was too limited to accommodate it, so he had to give up.

Soon, the delivery guy arrived with the weapons, dropped them off, and left.

Wang Bin quickly stored the weapons in the system space, locked up the warehouse, and went home.

Back home, seeing it was still early, Wang Bin took a stroll outside the community. The sky had just darkened, and there weren't many pedestrians on the road, probably because everyone was having dinner at home.

Wang Bin leisurely walked along the street, observing the passersby. Such a peaceful scene was impossible to find in the Apocalypse.

Suddenly, Wang Bin felt a wave of unease, his heart growing increasingly anxious, which puzzled him. Was he falling ill?

Out of nowhere, he sensed a dangerous presence approaching and abruptly stopped in his tracks.

With a loud bang, a bullet whizzed past his nose, embedding itself in a nearby tree trunk, leaving a large hole. If the tree hadn't been thick enough, it might have been snapped by the bullet.

Wang Bin instantly realized there was a shooter nearby, and judging by the bullet's impact, it seemed to be armor-piercing. If he got hit, it would be game over. Without hesitation, Wang Bin quickly activated his Crossing the River on a Reed lightness skill, moving swiftly while checking the direction from which the bullet came.

Just as he turned his head, he sensed another danger approaching. With previous experience, he knew the shooter had fired again. Wang Bin quickly used his lightness skill to leap aside, dodging the shot aimed at him.

The shooter had fired twice without a sound, indicating they had a silencer attached to the gun.

From these two shots, Wang Bin roughly determined the shooter's position—on the rooftop of the second building to his right.

The nightingale was astonished. Her marksmanship was top-notch, and she had never missed a target on previous missions. Yet this time, she missed twice.

What surprised her even more was the target's speed, so fast she couldn't lock onto him.

She knew she was in trouble this time.

Unwilling to give up, she fired another shot, only for it to be dodged again.

She didn't hesitate any longer. Unable to kill the target, she had to leave.

Wang Bin, while dodging, observed the rooftop and saw a figure stand up and turn to run away.

"Trying to escape!"

Seeing the figure disappear from the rooftop, Wang Bin knew the shooter was trying to flee. Without hesitation, he activated his lightness skill and quickly headed towards the building.

The nightingale was on a seven-story building. Just as she reached the bottom, she noticed the target had already entered the community, running towards her.

"Damn, is this guy even human?"

Seeing Wang Bin approach so quickly, the nightingale was shocked. However, she reacted swiftly, drawing a silenced pistol from her waist and firing three shots at Wang Bin.

Seeing her raise her hand, Wang Bin immediately used his lightness skill to leap towards a large tree on the side.
