Weapon seller in the world of magic-Novel

​ "I'm experimenting with twenty soldiers per unit at the start. If it becomes successful, we will increase the numbers to fifty, hundred, and later, we might even establish a separate division with five hundred or more soldiers.

I made enough inquiries and knew for sure that you won't reveal who you are receiving your weapons from, because of a confidential contract.

So, I never plan to force you to. Instead, I wanted to establish a long-term partnership. However, before that, I needed to know whether you can procure enough bullets for our entire unit or not. If I even consider 20 per day, each one will consume over 140 bullets. That's just the usual estimation. There can be even more.

As the numbers grew, consumption will also increase. Can you alone handle this order?

If you can't, arrange a meeting with the manufacturer. Tell him my name and identity. If he/she is willing to, then, we can proceed with it and in return, I will handsomely reward you too."

The second prince put forth the proposal and waited for the answer, sipping his tea.

Mark fell into thoughts. He wasn't thinking whether he can or not, considering he's the creator. What he was doing is calculating the profits in his head.

"140 bullets, 20 members. 2800 bullets per week, 145600 bullets per year. Each bullet, 20 silver coins. That means 29120 gold coins per annum. And what if there were a hundred members? It will cross a hundred thousand. I can complete the quest with ease, hehe…"

After thinking about it, Mark felt like this is a good deal and nodded, "I can. How many bullets, how many weapons do you need?"

If it was a couple of weeks ago, Mark's heart would spike just by thinking about such a huge amount. However, after selling 500 gold coins worth of weapons to Lin Xue every day as a part of the deal, he felt a lot calmer when he heard the second prince.

"Very well," The second prince let out a pleasant smile. He was also a little bit surprised by the confidence in Mark. After all, it isn't a small deal either.

Taking a sip, he spoke, "for the first order, I will have 5000 bullets altogether."

"It'll take a week." Mark gave a quick answer. "If it is urgent, I can reduce it by two more days."

"A week, is it?" Shang Wen thought for a bit and nodded. "That will be okay for me."

"After this is over, I will visit your store to check out the weapons personally and we'll finalize the deal. You can stay here as our guest in the meantime." The second prince continued to sip the oolong tea and took out some papers from the storage ring and started reading it in silence. He doesn't have anything else to talk to Mark.

They aren't acquaintances whether they can talk about casual things, Mark isn't a noble where they can talk about the politics, and neither Mark is a higher realm spirit warrior where he can discuss strategy in the upcoming battle.

What can Shang Wen do other than stay quiet?

Thankfully, Mark has different plans.

After a brief silence, he opened the inventory and took out a pistol, placing it on the table. He then started taking revolver this time.

*Tap* *Tap*

The sound attracted the attention of the second prince and raised his head. "Hmm?"

Mark was taking each type of firearm one after another, placing them on the table.

He then looked at the second prince, "Your Highness, you don't need to visit the store. Let us finalize the deal, right away.

This is Single-Shot Pistol. Only one bullet can be loaded each time. So, in a battle, one has to keep pulling the trigger and load it in the barrel…" Mark had an inkling that this prince knows how to handle this weapon. Nevertheless, he demonstrated pulling the hammer and clicked the trigger each time. There was no bullet. So, no one outside is alarmed.

Mark continued, "Its maximum range is 15 meters and costs 5 gold coins. The bullet can go farther too but the accuracy drops.

When the target is between 15-20 meters, the accuracy drops to 50%. When the target is between 20-25 meters, the accuracy drops to 25%. And when the target is above 30 meters, you can believe that no matter what you do, it won't hit the target.

Not just this pistol, every firearm has a maximum effective range. And has an absolute range of twice the maximum range. And the range between them, you can only depend on luck. In such a case, you will only waste the bullet. So, I won't recommend shooting unless you want to depend on your luck."

Mark put down the pistol and took the next one.

This is Revolver. You can keep 6 bullets in this chamber. It is a double-action revolver. So, you just click the trigger after loading the bullets. Its range is 25 meters, absolute range 50 meters, and cost 20 gold coins.

These two are Semi-Automatic Pistols. This is it magazine where you can store 10 bullets. Adding with the one that's loaded, you can shoot 11 bullets in a row. Its range is 30 meters, absolute range 60 meters, and costs 30 gold coins.

And the second model is P226. Its magazine can store 20 bullets. That's 21 consecutive shots for the user. This weapon also has night vision, which will make it easier to point at the target in low light conditions.

Adding to that, I sell individual magazines for this model so that it becomes easier to load if you are in hurry. Its range is also the same, about 30 meters, absolute range 60 meters, but cost 50 gold coins. The magazine also cost only 1 gold coin.

This model also has a no-fee maintenance offer. Each gun usually needed to be cleaned every 6 months. It might be even lesser if you use it too frequently. I won't charge it, no matter how many guns they are."

While Mark explained about the 20 round semi-automatic pistol, the second prince saw that he was more expressive than before and there was also excitement written on his face.

He wondered it might be because the model is the most expensive. But, it wasn't the case at all. Mark was just happy to showcase the weapon from his country of the previous life.

Mark continued. "Now, it is the exclusive weapons, which are limited in a sale. So, they are sold to exclusive customers.

The first of them is this Derringer. As you can see, this one has two barrels, so, you can quick-fire two shots. However, its recoil is quite greater compared to a revolver and other advanced firearms. Its maximum effective range is also only 10 meters but costs 10 gold coins.

And also, to buy this weapon, the customer's purchases from our store needed to reach at least 1000 gold coins. Or else, they won't be qualified."

"10 meters?" The second prince was taken aback by its price and its details. In his opinion, it was worse than the single-shot pistol. The effective range is the reason he chose these firearms. The conditions were even more ridiculous to him.

This derringer's redeeming feature is that its appearance is quite catchy than previous models, but things like appearance were also useless to the military.

"Okay, next." Shang Wen showed his disinterest in it.

Mark nodded and put it down, picking up the final weapon. "I told you about this Shotgun. There are several models but for now, only this model Tomohawk is available.

Its maximum effective range goes as far as 50 meters and its absolute range is 100 meters. The gun costs 50 gold coins and has the capacity to hold 5 rounds in the bottom and 1 load. So, that's 6. And adding on top of it, you can this saddle has four spaces where we can put the shotgun shells.

As for the shotgun shell, each one of these will cost about 1 gold coin. Like P226, no maintenance offer is there on this weapon. However, to be eligible, you need to be either a level-2 customer or have a ten-thousand gold coins worth of total transaction with the store."

Putting the shogun back on the table, Mark asked, "Your highness, which weapon interests you? Everything can be arranged within a week as long as the numbers aren't too high."

"What about the weapon that was used to demolish the Song Clan? Is it not for sale?" The second prince wondered out loud before realizing his mistake.

Mark's facial expression instantly changed to frown as he replied, "It's not for sale, Your Highness. Only one such weapon was built and it was bound to my soul. I won't sell it at any price because it is what that will protect my life."

When he was explaining it, he only thought of making profits, but now, he wondered whether this prince is actually eyeing for the tank in the name of such deals.

"Is that so?" While the second prince fell into thoughts, Mark opened his inventory and sneakily took out the potion before keeping it in his pocket, reminding himself that he needed to be careful at all times when he's outside the store.

He only felt ease up a little when he saw the second prince take each firearm into his hand and check out the feel in his hand. Mark eyed the P226 model, his favorite and the one that was sold only once until now.

The atmosphere fell silent.

The second prince was completely absorbed in thoughts while Mark was waiting for his decision while hoping that a 20 round Semi-Automatic pistol to be selected.

As for raising his luck, Mark didn't dare to do it to the prince. After the incident with Mo Jiang, he realized that luck absorption is basically a curse spell from the ring and the church can not only detect it but also remove it with force.

Mark doesn't want to do that to the second prince and harm his business, despite feeling on the edge just a moment ago.

On top of that, there's something called business ethics. Since the second prince is now a customer, Mark shouldn't do things like that.

After being silent for a whole minute, the second prince asked a question, "How good are you with those weapons or firearms that you called?"

"I guess I'm familiar with shooting." Mark gave a modest answer, wondering why he asked such a question.

It was then, the second prince stood up from his seat, instead of telling his decision. Mark followed the suit.

Shang Wen then said, "That Revolver and that P226, is it? And the Shotgun. Follow me to the outside with those three and put the other three away."
