Weapon seller in the world of magic

Lan Jingyi

Race: Human

Rank: ???

Spirit Path: ???

Attribute: ???

Description: Daughter of Lan Gengxin and wife of Emperor Shang. She's the biological mother of the host. Her origins are mysterious and the current level of the system is incapable of scanning her.

"She's a hidden Supreme realm expert or something?" In an instant, a thought appeared in Mark's mind and he felt nervous, all of a sudden.

If that is the case, then, he might have to plan his revenge very carefully.

But then again, if she's really strong as he was thinking, will she allow her husband to kneel before a stranger and let his reputation be damaged? She even sacrificed her own son for the sake of keeping her position in the heart of the Emperor. It is very unlikely that she would stay hidden back then.

The only thing that appeared logical to Mark is that she possessed some kind of treasure like a crystal-graded or God-graded one that is blocking the system.

Meanwhile, Queen Consort observed her son's reaction. She was curious about what he is thinking. On the other hand, Shang Jiao was thinking that Mark was probably surprised by her bloodline.

Lan Jingyi brought her son back to reality with her comment, "Mr. Lu, you appeared to be lost in thoughts."

Shaking his head, Mark let out a smile, "it's nothing, Queen Consort Lan. It's been a while since I last heard of that beast's name. My master told me that Blizzard Pegasus and Phoenix are enemies and each is vying for the other's blood even to date.

So, usually, parents with those bloodlines will give birth to an Ampon (the one who was born with no ether despite having Spirit Warriors as parents)

I guess your daughter is really blessed by the heavens, Queen Consort Lan. Not only she was born as a princess of an Empire but also awakened extraordinary talent. Reaching 6-circle at this age is no easy feat.

On the other hand, people like me who were born as commoners in some corner of a village will have to struggle every day and pray for the heavens to smile on us even once so that our fate will be changed.

But then again, what can we do other than pray for our luck? The nobles wouldn't give us opportunities and always crush us so that they can continue to assert their dominance."

Mark faked his expression as if he was envious of the princess to hide his real feelings. Along with providing fake information like he had some mysterious master that changed his fate, he even purposely sighed deeply at the end to make it more real.

Perhaps, it's because of his charm stat, or maybe, it's because of her mother's love, Lan Jingyi not only believed him but felt a deep amount of guilt, wondering what kind of price did her son pay to change his fate.

Meanwhile, Shang Jiao thought that this firearms seller probably faced injustice in the hands of a noble when he was a child, and after gaining his strength, he was trying to take revenge against every noble out there in return. She wasn't wrong to assume that way when considering his actions until now.

While the mother and daughter were in thought, Mark asked them once again about their reasoning to visit the store.

Lan Jingyi glanced around for a second and said to her daughter to bring out the weapon.

Shang Jiao nodded and took out Chimera SGM from her storage ring. Lan Jingyi pointed to it, "My daughter wants to master this weapon. Do you have time to teach her? Of course, you would be compensated for it."

"Oh, so, it's for this huh." Realization dawned upon Mark and he became a lot relieved that the reason turned out to be quite simple. Wait for a second… why was he relieved? Why should he care what they are here for, in the first place? That's right. They are nothing more than strangers and he needs to treat them like every customer. Not to mention, this is a good opportunity to earn more money.

After thinking for a brief amount of time, Mark maintained his smile, "I don't need any teaching fees but the price for ammunition must be paid."

"Of course, that goes without saying." Shang Jiao snorted in response.

Taking a glance at her, Mark further said, "I have one simple condition. If the princess is going to be taught under me, then, she will have to behave like a student. That means, during the teaching hours, she will not be a princess. As an instructor, I might scold her or even punish her for the mistakes she does during the training time. Daily timings and time limits for the task are yours to fix but rules are mine to follow.

This is all I can reply to your offer. If Queen Consort Lan and Princess Shang agree to this, I have no problem teaching her. Or if you just want to know how to operate the weapon, then, you can be my guest until lunchtime. I'm currently understaffed at the moment. So, I'm unable to help you right away."

Shang Jiao's face darkened as she heard his words. Since she already knows what her mother was going to say next, she could only assume that her worst phase of life is going to begin.

Making her fears true, Lan Jingyi then said, "I haven't been completely honest with you, Mr. Lu."

"Hmm?" He looked at her.

"A while ago, my daughter had made a big mistake, costing the lives of her subordinates in a dungeon. As a punishment, my daughter was stripped of her privileged status for the next four weeks. Along with learning how to master this weapon named Chimera, she will be working at your store as an ordinary employee.

You don't need to worry about her status and treat her just like how you treat your other workers. If she makes a mistake, you can punish her as you fit. There will be no repercussions on it. Of course, the abuse of power isn't tolerated by any means but I and my husband believe that you wouldn't do that."

Mark didn't expect that the Emperor would take such a decision. Mark remembered the punishment that the crown prince got it back when he was dragged into the public trial.

At first, he believed her words but then, he felt something wrong with the punishment. Why is it only his store? And that too, four weeks? Was this really the punishment or the Emperor is trying to keep an eye on him, sending his daughter on a secret mission?

Well, if it is because of Kunyu bandits, unfortunately, it was too late as he already sent the weapons required to siege a city. Only the ammunition of 9mm bullets left.

What about the advantages?

Mark knew that he can earn a lot of money through the ammunition required for Chimera SGM as long as he plays his cards right.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Mark gave a nod, "Four weeks is a lot of time for just Chimera SGM. She'll be able to handle any firearm by the end. Since I have promised 'His Majesty' about the attack helicopter, I will teach her how to fly too, provided that she is diligent towards training."

"Okay, she'll start tomorrow but before that, can I see the demonstration of your training method?" Lan Jingyi then put forward an unusual request.
