I Carry a Game World With Me

Chapter 180: Chapter 164: A Successful Bluff! An Apparent Complication

Feilin smiled. "Mr. Red Lizard, we’ll calculate this using today’s international gold price. Thirty percent of 3.5 million USD is 1.05 million USD. Today’s international price for gold is 85 USD per gram, so the 1.05 million USD deposit comes to 12,352 grams. That works out to 27.2 pounds of gold for the deposit."

Lu Feng smiled and nodded. "Mr. Feilin, if you would please bring out a precision electronic scale."

’He had well over a hundred pounds of gold in his bag. 27.2 pounds was nothing.’

Feilin didn’t hesitate. With a wave of his hand, one of his men immediately walked out. Shortly after, the man returned carrying a high-precision electronic scale, which he placed on the ground in front of them.

Feilin stepped forward and, right in front of Lu Feng, demonstrated that the scale was working correctly.

This reassured both parties.

"Mr. Red Lizard, please!" Feilin then gestured for Lu Feng to proceed. He was letting Lu Feng weigh the gold himself as a show of good faith.

Lu Feng nodded, carried the sack over to the electronic scale, and opened it, revealing the gleaming gold bars inside.

Everyone’s eyes were immediately drawn to it.

Black Snake, Red Lizard, and the others already knew that President Lu had brought a bag of gold.

Valery and his men had previously abandoned all honor and colluded with outsiders to ambush him, all for this gold.

But they never imagined that President Lu possessed such uncanny abilities—bullets couldn’t even harm him, yet his marksmanship delivered a headshot with every single shot.

As a result, their corpses were likely already in the bellies of wild beasts.

Feilin’s eyes, too, fell upon the gold.

The gold bars were uniform in size, but their surfaces were unengraved and slightly coarse.

He instantly determined they had been privately re-melted.

’Most likely, the gold this Mr. Red Lizard brought has illicit origins, so he re-melted it to cover his tracks.’

’But for him to use this gold so openly, he must be confident he has nothing to fear.’

’Considering he wants to arm a thousand men, it makes sense.’

Lu Feng pulled gold bars from the sack one by one, quickly weighing out the 27.2 pounds. To get the exact weight, he even added some gold jewelry he had on hand.

After weighing the gold, Lu Feng smiled. "Mr. Feilin, please confirm the purity of the gold as well."

Feilin nodded and personally stepped forward to inspect it. He knew his way around gold; telling real from fake was no problem for him.

This took a little while.

After confirming the gold was real, Feilin said to Lu Feng, "Mr. Red Lizard, I hope this will be a smooth transaction. I will now go and prepare the weapons. Please provide me with the transaction location as soon as possible. In three days, our Kudar Clan will transport the weapons to you."

"Of course, Mr. Feilin!" Lu Feng agreed with a smile.

After Feilin left, Lu Feng gave orders to Hadona. "Find a warehouse for me in the region just outside the Myanmar border. We’ll conduct the trade near there and move the weapons into it first. Red Lizard, you take a few men and protect him."

’If this arms deal goes through, I don’t have anyone to receive the shipment. I also don’t want to bring the weapons into the game in front of all these people. My only option is to find a warehouse first, store the weapons there, and then move everything by myself later.’

"Yes, President Lu!" Hadona nodded and walked out.

Red Lizard immediately took a few men and followed Hadona.

’He had been knocked out by President Lu with a single blow, which was why he had joined up the moment he heard the man was recruiting.’

’He was someone who revered strength.’

’At the very least, President Lu’s power had completely won him over.’

’After witnessing President Lu’s immunity to bullets and his terrifying headshot skills, he had become utterly devoted, ready to be his loyal dog.’

’He knew that with President Lu’s terrifying power, he was destined to become a fearsome presence in this region. For people like him, sticking by such a man was the best possible future.’

"Go about your business," Lu Feng instructed Black Snake and the others, then went upstairs, entered his room, and locked the door from the inside.

[Congratulations! You have slain a zombie and gained 10 EXP!]

[Congratulations! You have slain a zombie and gained 10 EXP!]

...

A dense stream of notifications for gaining experience appeared. The slaughter of zombies at Red Leaf Base was still underway.

Lu Feng shifted his perspective in the game world to check on the situation at Red Leaf Base. After confirming that everything was normal, he shifted his view back to Qingfeng Base, where he had logged out previously. With a single thought, he entered the game.

’The arrangements in the real world were set; now it was time to make arrangements in the game world.’

’That way, he wouldn’t be scrambling when the weapons arrived.’

He had Lin Jiao summoned.

"Boss, what are your orders?" Lin Jiao asked the moment she arrived.

Lu Feng ordered, "Prepare a vacant storage room for me in the air-raid shelter. I have a use for it."

"Yes, Boss!" Lin Jiao didn’t ask any questions and immediately agreed.

’She knew the boss must have his reasons, and there was no need for her to ask.’

After Lin Jiao left to make the arrangements, Lu Feng summoned Guo Zhen. "Is there anyone in the base skilled with military hardware?" he asked. "Specifically, someone who knows how to assemble older weapons, like an infantry fighting vehicle?"

’To bring such large equipment into the game, I have to have Feilin disassemble it first. Otherwise, it’s so bulky that even with three times the strength of an ordinary person, I wouldn’t be able to lift it.’

’But once it’s disassembled and brought into the game, it’ll take a professional to put it back together.’

’If it were assembled improperly, a misfire would be far more catastrophic than a gun backfiring.’

Guo Zhen nodded. "Boss, we have experts like that over at the weapons production line. They were the ones who calibrated the lines back in the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps days. We just don’t have anything like an old infantry fighting vehicle!"
