Chapter 150 - 150 Strange Pistol
150 Strange Pistol
The next few auction items were some antiques, calligraphy, and paintings. Shi Man was not interested in these. She was a little tired of eating nuts, so she wanted to go home for dinner.
Yuan Yi saw through her intentions and poured a glass of red wine for her to relieve her boredom. Then, he suggested mysteriously, “The end is the highlight of tonight’s auction. You’ll definitely be interested.”
Shi Man looked at the shadows of the mysterious guns at the end of the list and felt disinterested.
Ever since she had Yi Zheng’s regular offering, Immaculate did not lack armaments at all. She also had a silver spear she liked and did not plan to get too many.
“It’s boring. Let’s go back.” Shi Man stood up and was about to leave when Shi Mu grabbed her wrist.
He was a little embarrassed to pull her back to her seat and sit down. He said carefully, “Sister, actually, Brother has liked these pistols since he was young, but my family has always been strict, so I haven’t seen a real gun with my own eyes until now. It’s not easy to have such an opportunity this time. Can you watch it with me before leaving?”
Shi Man didn’t expect Shi Mu to like such things, but she still sat down obediently and nodded. “Alright, let’s go home together after Brother is done.”
Shi Mu immediately smiled happily and stared at the screen, looking forward to seeing the pistol that he had been thinking about day and night.
The auction quickly came to an end and entered the final segment.
The first thing the staff brought up was a pistol with an inlaid metal shell. The gun was beautifully designed, and under the light, the metal shell flickered with a dazzling light.
Shi Mu was stunned. He did not expect to see such a beautiful pistol with his own eyes and could not help but be tempted.
Yuan Yi immediately said, “Do you want to buy one back to play?”
Shi Mu was about to nod enviously when he suddenly thought of Shen Xian and Shi Zhong’s furious expressions. He immediately shook his head and said, “Forget it. If my mother finds out, she’ll beat me to death.”
Yuan Yi could not help but laugh at him. He glanced at the young girl who was still not very interested and asked curiously, “Are you really not interested? I thought you would like this kind of thing!”
“My sister doesn’t like guns!” Shi Mu retorted for her before Shi Man could speak. “My sister clearly likes Barbie dolls the most!”
Yuan Yi could not hold it in anymore. He stole a glance at Shi Man’s expressionless face and asked suspiciously, “Are you sure? Does she like Barbie dolls?”
“I’m sure.” Shi Mu said curiously, “As her brother, don’t I know my sister better than you? My family has so many limited-edition Barbie dolls that they can fill a warehouse! Those are my sister’s treasures!”
Shi Man’s expression was still calm as if the person he was talking about was not her.
Not to mention Yuan Yi, even Shi Man did not believe that she would like those dolls that only young girls would play with.
Unfortunately, the original host was such a young lady. Even the clothes in her wardrobe were mostly bought according to the style of the Barbie gown. She would always be mocked when she wore them. However, she liked them very much and was even proud of them, thinking that the aesthetics of others were inferior to hers.
Shi Man did not dare to compliment the original owner’s aesthetics, but she still chose to respect her, so she was not in a hurry to deny it.
Yuan Yi shook his head helplessly, not prepared to continue arguing with Shi Mu about this matter. However, he was still prepared to take the opportunity to close the distance with Shi Man. He smiled at her generously and said, “Next time, I’ll bring the new limited-edition doll to your house and give it to you personally, okay?”
Shi Man glanced at him coldly and smiled faintly. “Alright, I’ll definitely thank you properly when the time comes.”
Shi Mu clearly didn’t hear the sarcasm in their words. He thought that Yuan Yi was being polite to him and couldn’t help but pat his shoulder. “Brother, why are you bringing a gift to our house? But since it’s for Manman, I’ll thank you on Manman’s behalf first. You’re not allowed to bring anything next time. You’re treating us like outsiders.”
“Okay.” Yuan Yi nodded with a smile and looked at Shi Man with gloating eyes.
Shi Man pursed her lips speechlessly and prepared to ignore the two childish people. She continued to look at the next pistol on the screen and raised her eyebrows to evaluate. “It’s quite a beautiful women’s pistol.”
Yuan Yi followed her gaze and saw a pistol covered in water-pink paint lying quietly on the tray. However, the configuration of this gun was far from as cute as it looked.
There were three separate safety devices, plus a nine-millimeter Osprey silencer, a small scope, and other tactical accessories at the end of the slide.
The magazine had a capacity of 17 rounds and an effective range of 50 meters. It could perfectly make up for the uselessness of ordinary long-range sniper rifles in close combat.
Moreover, pistols circulating on the market basically did not have this color. It could be seen how unique the designer behind this pistol was.
“Do you like it?” Yuan Yi probed.
Shi Mu rejected it on behalf of his sister. “We don’t buy such dangerous things.”
