"Elder Jefferson, this..."

Before Dong Tianyu could finish, Elder Jefferson waved his hand to cut him off.

At this moment, Elder Jefferson was observing the expressions of the others upon hearing his distribution plan. Only after seeing the confusion on their faces did he start to explain:

"Zachary, you don’t have to belittle yourself. Among the younger generation, apart from Robinson William, you have the highest cultivation level in the martial path.

As for the weapon, well, it’s made to be used. Although this gun is precious, from the perspective that we’re distributing ten at a time, no matter how valuable, it’s just a standard issue weapon. As the quantity produced increases, it will simply mean a higher purchasing price in the future.

I’m well aware that you and Madeline have always been doing business outside, so the price shouldn’t be much of an issue for you.

Even if we don’t give it to you now, after some time, as long as you want it, you’ll probably be able to get your hands on it."

While Elder Jefferson’s words weren’t wrong, the gun Dong Tianyu could buy himself was not the same as one directly allocated by Elder Jefferson.

But since Elder Jefferson had already said as much, Dong Tianyu didn’t continue to argue.

The others, after hearing Elder Jefferson’s explanation, didn’t have much else to say. Just as the manual had stated earlier, even though the gun looked like an individual weapon, ordinary martial artists couldn’t operate it alone, let alone ordinary people.

Therefore, not giving the gun to Dong Tianyu and instead distributing it to others meant they would only be able to display it as a decoration and would hardly be able to use it.

As for giving the gun to someone else to use, that was out of the question since the minimum cultivation level required for a martial artist to properly wield this gun was the Inner Breath Realm. And despite the large number of martial artists in Pengcheng, not many have reached the Inner Breath Realm.

Most martial artists in Pengcheng rely on nutritional supplements to obtain body quality at the Body Tempering Realm and then, through cultivating methods, gain perfect control over their bodies in the shortest time possible.

After allocating the gun to Dong Tianyu, Elder Jefferson also quite generously gave him ten base units of bullets without any fuss.

When they say ten base units of bullets, that actually means ten bullets. Given the caliber of the gun, it’s almost more accurate to refer to them as mini missiles than bullets.

After handing over the manual to Dong Tianyu, he started to pretend to practice disassembling and assembling the gun according to the instructions.

In truth, during Zander’s assembly earlier, Dong Tianyu had already thoroughly understood the sequence of assembling the gun through Divine Sense, so even without looking at the manual, he was confident he could disassemble it smoothly.

After he had finished disassembling and reassembling, Elder Jefferson handed the manual to Robinson William and earnestly said to him, "You should understand the implications of the two guns I’m entrusting to you."

Upon hearing this, Robinson William immediately grasped Elder Jefferson’s intent. The gun given to Dong Tianyu, as well as the one to himself, would become private possessions from this moment forward.

Whereas the guns to be delivered to Rylan for the logistics department and officially to the Patrol Office would belong to the camp, meaning they would require a report for each use, following a strict approval process.

In layman’s terms, these two guns are treasures of the household, often displayed in a glass cabinet to be admired. To take them out for actual use through a strict approval process becomes almost impossible.

Moreover, when the seniors wished to deploy this weapon, how convenient it would be to turn directly to Robinson William or Dong Tianyu and use a private gun.

The allocation plan was decided, and the next steps would require the seniors to discuss behind closed doors. It had nothing to do with Dong Tianyu and the younger generation anymore.

Dong Tianyu casually found a strip of cloth to wrap up the sniper rifle and slung it over his back. The inconvenient thing about this weapon was that it appeared they were in a hurry when delivering it, and it had not come with proper packaging.

"Zachary, you go ahead with your work. Join me this afternoon to test the gun,"

Hearing Robinson William’s words, Dong Tianyu promptly replied, "No problem, I’ll wait for you at Madeline’s after lunch."

Since others were present, Dong Tianyu didn’t use nicknames but replied in a very formal tone.

Mr. Thompson didn’t go home with Dong Tianyu but went to the Conference Room with the senior members for a meeting.

Arriving home alone, Dong Tianyu found that Mrs. Thompson had also gone out. With the house empty, he simply entered the Cave. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Removing the makeshift cover he had put on for the sake of appearances, Dong Tianyu began to examine his newly acquired weapon in detail.

After a simple knock on the body of the gun, he found it was made of solid metal. Although he didn’t know what kind of alloy it was, its durability far surpassed any firearm he had obtained before.

One shouldn’t think that for firearms, as ranged weapons, solidity isn’t crucial. The more durable the firearm, the more powerful the bullets it can use and the slower it will wear out.

Looking at the bullets next to him, Dong Tianyu thought for a moment and eventually decided not to test the gun.

His reason for not trying it right now was simple: there were too few bullets, and random testing would be wasteful.

However, with something like firearms, even though Dong Tianyu was the last one to assemble it personally, not testing it would leave him uneasy. Therefore, he planned to freeload on the experimental bullets Elder Jefferson had given to Robinson William in the afternoon.
