The next day.
After waking up, washing up, and having breakfast, Li Mu Chuan followed Wei Yu Meng to a base.
Knowing why Li Mu Chuan had come, someone immediately led him to the Shooting Range.
"Everything laid out before you can be tried. You can take whichever ones you like."
The instructor arranged the weapons in a row, including rifles and Sniper Rifles.
Li Mu Chuan looked at them longingly, but there was no way he could take any of them with him.
When he went back this time, he had to upgrade his Small Space. Otherwise, whenever something like this happened, he could only bring so little with him.
Li Mu Chuan was somewhat frustrated.
He pointed at a handgun, indicating that was the one he wanted.
Seeing this, the instructor immediately began teaching Li Mu Chuan how to hold the gun and the key points of firing it.
What made Li Mu Chuan quite comfortable was that the instructor was extremely patient. Even when Li Mu Chuan failed to understand something after several explanations, the man still patiently guided him.
Li Mu Chuan knew full well that if he had been one of the instructor's soldiers, he would probably have been scolded long ago.
After an entire morning passed, Li Mu Chuan had finally grasped some of the basics of shooting. Next, he just needed to use ammunition to hone his accuracy.
"Your physical condition is pretty good, but your reaction speed is seriously lacking."
Before he left, the instructor remarked with some feeling.
Li Mu Chuan could not help sighing when he heard that. As he had gotten older, his reaction speed had indeed declined considerably.
During the shooting drills just now, Li Mu Chuan's reactions had seemed half a beat too slow.
Still, this sort of reaction speed could be recovered somewhat through training.
After Li Mu Chuan returned to the hotel, he asked Wei Yu Meng to set up a shooting range there as well.
Otherwise, every time he wanted to train, he would have to travel a long distance. It was too much of a waste of time.
Wei Yu Meng did not refuse the request. As long as proper safety measures were in place, setting up a shooting range in the hotel was not a big deal.
Besides, the area around the hotel had already been cleared out.
He checked the time. There were still ten days left on the countdown.
During that time, Li Mu Chuan needed to work hard to improve his shooting accuracy.
Thus, over the following days, gunshots rang out endlessly within the hotel. At first, he frequently missed the target, but later, nine out of every ten shots landed on it.
After nine days had passed, Li Mu Chuan was finally able to reliably hit the target within ten meters.
His chances of hitting the bullseye were not high, but he could already avoid missing the target altogether.
He also had an accuracy rate of over eighty percent against moving targets.
For Li Mu Chuan, the training over those days had not been in vain.
"Here's the handgun and ammunition you wanted."
Wei Yu Meng carried a case over to Li Mu Chuan.
When he opened it, he saw a brand-new handgun and gleaming golden bullets inside.
Li Mu Chuan loaded bullets into the handgun, then added one already chambered, figuring that having one extra bullet would be useful.
After putting the handgun into his Small Space, Li Mu Chuan began storing the bullets in front of him. He packed fifty bullets, and with the sixteen rounds in the handgun, he had sixty-six bullets in total.
The number was a little small, but there was nothing he could do. His space was only so large.
This was after Li Mu Chuan had thrown away everything he had brought before, aside from the USB drive, to free up storage.
When he went back this time, he still had to work hard to upgrade his Small Space.
Watching things vanish from Li Mu Chuan's hand with a single movement, Wei Yu Meng had become accustomed to it by now.
"You're leaving tomorrow?"
Wei Yu Meng looked at Li Mu Chuan and asked hesitantly.
Li Mu Chuan nodded. He had already informed the higher-ups that he was leaving.
Their intention was to record some data when Li Mu Chuan left, such as video footage and magnetic field fluctuations.
With current technology, they had no way of detecting much more data than that.
Li Mu Chuan had already agreed to the request.
If they really detected anything, Li Mu Chuan could ask them for a copy afterward.
"Then when do you think you'll come back to this world next?"
For the past few days, she had practically stayed by Li Mu Chuan's side. Though they had not spent that long together, they had developed at least a little attachment.
Now that Li Mu Chuan was suddenly about to leave, Wei Yu Meng felt somewhat disappointed.
The question stumped Li Mu Chuan. Honestly, how could he know when he would be able to return?
Up to now, Li Mu Chuan still did not know how the world-selection mechanism worked when he traveled through worlds.
If he knew, things would be much easier. At the very least, he could selectively bring certain things with him in the future.
"You're leaving soon. As thanks for everything these past few days, I'll take you out for whatever you want to eat. It's on the company tab, anyway."
Li Mu Chuan suddenly smiled. Whatever he wanted to eat, he could bring Wei Yu Meng along.
She could get it reimbursed afterward, anyway.
Wei Yu Meng tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Tuna, then. I heard Bluefin Tuna tastes really good."
Li Mu Chuan's suggestion immediately lifted her spirits.
When it came to food, she did not want to miss out.
Bluefin Tuna? Wasn't it supposed to be nearly endangered?
Li Mu Chuan raised his brow and checked his phone. He discovered that fishing in this world was actually fairly well regulated, and there was no endangered-species issue.
The price, however, was outrageously high. A pound cost nearly a hundred thousand, while better-quality fish seemed to cost several hundred thousand.
With Li Mu Chuan's own wealth, he could actually afford it.
The next day.
Li Mu Chuan stood in the center of a base.
All kinds of instruments surrounded him, all meant to record the instant Li Mu Chuan traveled through worlds.
Farther ahead, several people stared excitedly at screens, seemingly waiting for something.
"Before you leave, Mr. Li, is there anything else you need?"
Jiao Yinrui looked at Li Mu Chuan and asked helplessly.
Li Mu Chuan had brought them plenty of things, but he had practically asked for nothing in return.
Such an unequal trade made them worry whether they could continue trading when Li Mu Chuan returned next time.
It would have been better if Li Mu Chuan had more needs. If Li Mu Chuan needed gold, for example, Jiao Yinrui could have several tons delivered to him.
Li Mu Chuan smiled and waved his hand. "Let's talk about it next time. We'll have plenty of opportunities in the future, won't we?"
His Small Space was simply too small. Otherwise, he definitely would have asked them for a Close-In Weapon System, the kind removed from a warship. Set one of those up, and it would blast anything to pieces.
Hearing Li Mu Chuan say that, Jiao Yinrui could only nod.
Just then, specks of starlight began emerging from Li Mu Chuan's body, telling everyone that he was about to leave this world.
The people nearby all widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the scene before them.
The starlight Li Mu Chuan had become faded away in the next instant.
