In the blink of an eye, Lu Li had returned to the villa's garage.
After instructing the puppet to change its damaged clothes, Lu Li quickly took out his phone and contacted the arms dealer, Miss Aurora.
It was noon, and the other party answered immediately, "[Handsome young man, what's up?]"
Lu Li stated bluntly, "I need Anti-tank mine to blow people up."
[Bombing people...] Aurora paused for a moment, then said:
Are you sure you need that much power? Besides, Anti-tank mine are directional mines; most of their force is directed upwards.
"I know what I need. Time is tight, can I get it in 12 hours?"
Lu Li had already thought it through very clearly.
The target of the explosion was not an ordinary person, and it was also necessary to prevent accidental injury to Chen Zhizhong and members of the National Martial Arts Association who were present.
Therefore, powerful and directional Anti-tank mine are very suitable.
At this moment, Aurora said again:
You know... Anti-tank mine require 200 kilograms of trigger pressure, right?
"I know, so please modify it while you're at it, and make it remotely detonated."
[You make it sound so easy. I have to make the landmines and modify them for you...]
"I'll give you a reward of one million dollars," Lu Li interrupted the other's complaint. "If you finish it within six hours, I'll give you... two million."
[2 million...]
Aurora's heavy breathing came through the phone immediately, followed by a piercing shout:
[No problem! Get the money ready! This time, we'll go through the proper channels and transfer it to my bank account.]
After hanging up the phone, all that's left is to wait patiently.
Lu Li wasn't idle either; he went to the courtyard to practice the White Dragon Whip Technique, striving to reach the [Organ Refining] level as soon as possible.
"Kill Fan Shouyi, then raid his house. The study of a [Embryonic Breathing] Cultivator will surely yield great rewards."
"But this person has to die first!"
Lu Li's determination to kill Fan Shouyi stemmed not only from his desire to develop cultivation techniques, but also from the fact that this scoundrel had tricked him into using Ice Crystal Opium.
Personal grudges had to be put aside; the biggest reason was— Fan Shouyi was trafficking drugs on behalf of the imperial court!
Lu Li was all too aware of the consequences of official agencies getting involved in drug trafficking. New York, the largest city in the Star Alliance Country, had an officially authorized "opium injection site."
The mayor of New York was quite proud, declaring in the media and on social media platforms:
We are the first city in the Star Alliance Country to open an officially authorized opium injection site, providing addicts with clean needles and medical care.
As a result, on the very first day of operation, someone died from an overdose.
The mayor then chimed in, saying, "[At least it prevents them from dying in the streets.]"
When Lu Li saw the relevant video back then, he witnessed the mayor's overflowing pride, which severely shook his worldview!
Of course, Lu Li didn't feel any sense of belonging either, and after the initial shock, he treated it as a joke and didn't care anymore.
But now, a similar situation has occurred in a world with a shared cultural origin, so it definitely needs to be addressed!
Thinking of this, Lu Li's boxing movements became three times faster and three times more ruthless.
However, the physical exertion was also exceptionally high, Lu Li reached his limit after three hours.
After taking a shower, he took a car to the pharmacy next to Tijuana General Hospital.
I'm not here to buy medicine, I'm here to buy lead cloth.
This product can protect against radiation and is suitable for environments such as CT scan rooms and radiology departments. It is frequently purchased by patients' families and medical staff.
Lead can also block the detection of the "Heavenly Eye". Fan Shouyi is at the Fetal Breathing Realm and has already opened the "Heavenly Eye", so we must be wary.
So Lu Li made a special trip to buy a large roll of lead cloth and put it in the trunk, and also bought a large tube of super fast-drying glue.
Five hours had passed by the time all this was done.
Aurora suddenly called, "[Come to my house, I'm all ready!]"
~~~~~~~~~
When people have something to look forward to, they become exceptionally proactive, and Aurora completed the task with unprecedented efficiency.
When Lu Li arrived at the abandoned factory in the suburbs in his "Raptor," he saw the woman already waiting, with three "sweeping robot"-like objects beside her.
"The T62M anti-tank mine, designed and developed by the former Steel Alliance, is known for its immense destructive power."
Aurora, standing on a "robot vacuum cleaner," gave a brief introduction.
He then took out a "remote control" that looked like a car key from his pocket and said:
"Originally, this thing had a trigger pressure of up to 200 kilograms, but I modified it according to your requirements, and now it can be remotely detonated."
Lu Li nodded and said, "Let's blow one up and see its power."
"Okay, let me demonstrate for you. First, you need to connect the 'remote control fuse'~"
Aurora stuffed a small silver firecracker-like object into the hole in the middle of the "sweeping robot," and then threw the landmine under an abandoned car some distance away.
She turned back, handed the remote control to Lu Li, and said:
"You press it. It needs to be pressed twice to detonate, to prevent accidental activation."
Lu Li pressed the button twice in a row with the remote control, and a deafening bang immediately came from afar.
The directional explosion created a columnar high-speed penetrating body, with a flame wave one meter in diameter shooting up six or seven stories high.
The car was blown to pieces, with various parts scattering from the sky. Lu Li was somewhat surprised.
"I thought it was going to flip the car over, but it just exploded! Amazing!"
He was satisfied, took out his phone, and asked, "Send me your bank account details... By the way, why don't you want cash anymore?"
"Legitimate money transfers are subject to taxes," Aurora explained with a shrug.
"I sent my family to the Star Alliance Country; I need to leave them an inheritance that they can legally pass on."
Going against drug lords could lead to your sudden death at any moment, so you need to take care of what happens after you die.
Lu Li nodded and transferred the money.
Upon receiving the money, Aurora immediately grinned and exclaimed, "Ha, you're so quick and efficient at paying!"
Goodbye, Miss Arms Dealer.
After having the two puppets carry the Anti-tank mine and taking two "remote control fuses" from Aurora, Lu Li drove away.
~~~~~~~~~~~
While Lu Li was busy, Xiao Cha was also busy.
She ran to the vicinity of the Prefectural Office and took out a folded drone from her pocket in a deserted, dark alley.
After checking that no one was around, he launched the drone.
Looking at the transmitted images, Xiao Cha was amazed by the wonder of this thing more than once!
Roads, buildings, streets—everything on the ground is laid out before you!
However, Xiao Cha's focus is not on these things.
She piloted a drone 200 meters above the ground to observe the patrol routes of the "Imperial Guard" in the courtyard of the Prefectural Office).
"The Chamber of Deliberation is located to the left of the main building, and its defenses are not very tight!"
"That's true, it's not a serious matter!"
Xiao Cha observed carefully and noted the pattern.
They also used a drone to take several photos of the interior of the Chamber of Deliberation through the windows.
After scouting the location, she retrieved the drone and left, still pondering:
"We need to ask Uncle Chen Fan Shouyi still sitting in the first seat on the left..."
Just as I was thinking this, I unexpectedly ran into Chen Zhizhong on the way.
Judging from this direction, they're clearly heading home.
Sure enough, Chen Zhizhong said, "I was just about to come find you. Come with me to the Prefectural Office for a meeting tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xiao Cha was slightly taken aback. "Me too?"
"I'll take you to see Prefect Zhang and try to get you a substantive post."
Chen Zhizhong felt that not only were there many lucrative positions, but also great power, making it convenient to do whatever one wanted.
Xiao Cha asked with a strange expression, "Uncle Chen, Fan Shouyi still sitting in the first seat on the left?"
In this situation, Chen Zhizhong suddenly felt a pang of panic. "You're not planning to cause trouble tomorrow, are you?!"
