Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 346 The Power of the Flintlock Rifle

The next day, Chu Chen, having nothing to do, took two maids and headed towards the main street of the capital.

"Young master, this is too expensive, I don't want it!"

Chu Chen placed a hair ornament on the maid's head, and the maid immediately shook her head like a rattle drum.

"Don't worry, young master, you have money. If it's given to you, you have to accept it!"

Ignoring the maid's objections, he reached out and handed the silver to the shopkeeper.

Although I have so many jewelry items in my space, the modern craftsmanship is too shocking.

More importantly, the purity of the gold and silver in that space was incomparable to anything of this era.

Moreover, most of the items were out of place in this world, so Chu Chen never took out a large number of items from the gold shop in his space.

If they had dared to take it out from the beginning, they wouldn't have preferred to sell rice in the city rather than use the items from the gold shop before they transmigrated.

Before long, Chu Chen arrived at the main gate of the capital city with his maid.

The scene seemed to be the same as when he first transmigrated, except...

Watching the soldiers inspect the crowds entering the city, Chu Chen felt a pang of emotion, wondering what had become of the person who had bought his rice at a low price before.

Chu Chen chuckled as he recalled the time he sold rice at the city gate to get into Qingyun City with his second uncle.

The people at the city gate cursed themselves for being fools, selling such good rice at such a low price. But who knew that Chu Chen didn't even care about that little bit of grain?

"Young master, what are you looking at?"

"Haha, look at those crowds rushing into the city, bowing and scraping, being ordered around by soldiers. What are they after?"

The maid looked up at Chu Chen, who had a sighing expression on his face, and said, puzzled, "To get into the city!"

"Yes, you're absolutely right!"

After Chu Chen finished speaking, he took the maid's hand and headed towards the house.

Yes, it's all for getting into the city. Even a three-year-old knows that!

But what happens after moving to the city? For what? For money, to settle down in the capital? For.........

Little did they know that Mashan Village, which was comparable to a modern rural village, was a thousand times better than the city.

Humans are just restless; they're content to stay in their own little world while yearning for the world others talk about.

But then again, not every village is Mashan Village!

As soon as Chu Chen returned to the mansion, he saw a soldier standing straight at the entrance.

Upon seeing Chu Chen and his companions arrive, they immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Young Master Chu, my master invites you!"

"Your young master?"

"Zheng Jing, Young Master Zheng, I am a special envoy who has come to invite you. He says the goods are ready!"

Chu Chen laughed heartily after hearing this, then turned to the maids and said, "You may go in; I have something to attend to!"

After saying that, he stepped onto the carriage prepared by the soldiers.

Soon after, Chu Chen entered the workshop where weapons were being developed.

"Zheng Jing greets Uncle!"

"You finished it? That was pretty fast!"

Zheng Jing excitedly welcomed Chu Chen inside, where a flintlock pistol was prominently displayed on the table.

"Want to try firing a shot?"

Chu Chen picked up the flintlock pistol and spoke to Zheng Jing.

After listening, Zheng Jing led Chu Chen into the courtyard, quickly loaded the flintlock pistol with ammunition, and then handed it to Chu Chen.

"Uncle, please fire the first shot!"

Looking at the crude contraption, Chu Chen immediately refused, saying, "This is something you made, you should go first."

What a joke! This crude contraption, what if it explodes? I don't want to die.

Zheng Jing was a straightforward person. Seeing that Chu Chen had no interest in shooting, he picked up the flintlock pistol, aimed it at an iron target in front of him, and pulled the trigger.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, a steel ball, propelled by the gunpowder, pierced through the iron target in an instant.

Zheng Jing ran over excitedly and shouted to Chu Chen, "Uncle, I've worn it! Uncle has worn it!"

Chu Chen coughed awkwardly, thinking to himself, "Your father, Zheng Wenkai, just wore it!"

But what he said was, "Not bad, kid, you're much smarter than your dad. All your dad knows is foreign languages."

"But here's another suggestion: adding a front sight and notch to the barrel will greatly improve accuracy."

"Uncle, what are the crosshairs and the notch?"

Chu Chen took the flintlock pistol and explained it to Zheng Jing. Zheng Jing then happily took the flintlock pistol and rushed into the workshop.

And so, Chu Chen was left standing there, completely ignored.

Feeling rather bored, he walked out of the workshop.

Two days later, Chu Chen was having breakfast when Eunuch Wei came to his door: "Good morning, Young Master Chu!"

"Hey, Eunuch Wei, you've made good progress! You've even learned how to say 'Good morning'!"

"Haha. Isn't this something I learned from Young Master Chu!"

"Want to eat something together?" Chu Chen pointed to the breakfast on the table after hearing this.

"No, we've already eaten. His Majesty invites you, Young Master Chu, please come with us to the palace!"

After listening, Chu Chen put down his bowl, wiped his mouth hastily, and followed Eunuch Wei toward the palace.

"Eunuch Wei, is His Majesty looking for me?"

"Let's test the gun," Eunuch Wei said with a smile.

Chu Chen immediately understood; it turned out that the kid had reported the flintlock gun to Zhou Shixun.

Upon entering the palace, Chu Chen followed Eunuch Wei towards the back garden. When they arrived, they saw Zhou Shixun, Zhou Heng, Zheng Wenkai and his son, and a group of soldiers.

On the table were two flintlock muskets, and opposite them stood a suit of armor.

Upon seeing Chu Chen arrive, Zhou Shixun immediately said enthusiastically, "Chu boy, Zheng Jing is not bad. Is this your hidden weapon?"

Hearing Zhou Shixun say this, Chu Chen did not object, but nodded: "That's right, Uncle Zhou, I've even entrusted you with the skills to make a living."

"What are you saying, Chu boy? As long as the Zhou family survives, the Zhou family will always be your strong support."

After saying that, Zhou Shixun picked up a flintlock pistol and handed it to Chu Chen: "Try it, after all, this is something you are familiar with."

Chu Chen took the flintlock pistol, thinking to himself that he was actually a little intimidated by this thing.

I remember when I was a child, in the countryside of modern society, I was terrified when I saw my parents firing these bird guns. These things are so unstable.

However, since Zhou Shixun had spoken, he had no choice but to bite the bullet, raise his gun, aim at the armored vehicle in the distance, and pull the trigger without hesitation.

With a loud bang, the iron ball instantly pierced a small hole in the iron armor.

After finishing the fight, Chu Chen turned to Zheng Jing and said, "How much poison did you use? It's so powerful."

You must understand, the armor in front of us is the armor worn by the Imperial Guards, and it's nothing like the junk we saw yesterday.

"Uncle, this wasn't ordered by His Majesty to show its full power, so..."

Chu Chen rolled his eyes at Zhou Shixun after hearing this: "Don't do that next time. Too much medicine can cause the chamber to explode!"

"Why don't you give it a try, Uncle Zhou?"

Upon hearing Chu Chen mention the barrel exploding, Zhou Shixun, though unaware of the exact meaning, quickly laughed and exclaimed, "No, no, I'm very satisfied with the power!"
