Florida Man's General Store in Cultivation World



Chapter 108 – Florida Man Sued by IATA as He Flies to Space by Riding Drone

After a brief explanation, Leo gazed at Gao Yan with a proud look.

Meanwhile, Gao Yan muttered and reviewed the new knowledge.

"GTA is such a profound art! So, if I master that, I can snatch somebody's flying sword during combat? Then, if I master a flying sword technique enough, what technique do I need to learn next?"

Leo puffed his chest and ejected the system's pistol to show the boy.

"GTA isn't possible without absolute strength and the right tool. Here, you should carry this."

Without hesitation, Leo gave the pistol to Gao Yan. After all, he seemed more trustworthy than the baldy fox Wu Buyi.

Gao Yan received the pistol and flipped it around. He had never seen a similar artifact before.

"Senior, what's this?"

"A gun."

"A gun?"

"Well, you can take it as an emergency artifact for self-defense. You point the muzzle at the person you want to put a hole inside, then you pull the trigger."

"???"

Gao Yan wryly smiled as he couldn't understand Leo.

Seeing Gao Yan's expression, Leo got down from the flying sword. He pursed his lips and purchased another handgun, investing 5,000 years of lifespan. He then browsed the online store to see if non-lethal rounds existed.

Fortunately, there was plenty of rubber ammunition for sale. They were also a lot cheaper than live rounds as one box of 50 rubber bullets only cost five years of lifespan.

Leo purchased 10 boxes of ammo. Then, he used the spare pistol to teach Gao Yan how to shoot a gun.

"Okay, I'm gonna teach you some basics. Firstly, you need to know the trigger discipline, the safety, and how to not point that muzzle around and kill yourself or your friend by an accident."

He proceeded to teach Gao Yan the general knowledge of handguns and gun anatomy first. He forced the boy to replace the live rounds with the rubber rounds so that he wouldn't waste the expensive bullets.

.

BANG

BANG

Two hours later, Gao Yan practiced shooting a tree from a distance. He was nervous at first as the ammo was limited. But when he learned that the live rounds cost 40,000 years of lifespan to get, he stopped worrying about expendable cheap bullets.

Leo watched Gao Yan's form and nodded in approval. He was a quick learner. His strong grip and wrist made it so that the recoil never existed. Moreover, his accuracy was no joke as he could even shoot a target 50m away instantly without even aiming.

The insane accuracy came from the weird transparent dao avatar of Gao Yan. Leo glanced at her and noticed that the spirit's hands overlapped with Gao Yan's.

In short, Gao Yan could use an aimbot in real life. Leo was envious of him.

Secondly, Leo noticed something odd about him. When Gao Yan focused on his gun, his antler horns stopped releasing random lightning bolts. Instead, the lightning Qi gathered in his hands and fingers, transferring the Qi into the gun.

BANG!

Leo narrowed his eyes when Gao Yan fired the next shot. He could clearly see a branch of lightning bolt coming out of the muzzle. However, the rubber didn't conduct electricity, so the lightning Qi failed to influence the bullet. 

"Senior, this artifact is really difficult. I can't apply my Qi to the bullet," Gao Yan complained.

Leo heartily laughed, "Don't worry. Rubber is an insulator. Electricity and heat can't get through it easily, so you can't apply your Qi to it. However…"

Thinking about applying Qi to the bullet heads, Leo was curious if he could do it. He used the level-1 gun to test his theory.

After loading the rubber round magazine, Leo tried injecting his Qi into the rubber bullet head while he aimed.

RUMBLE

The pistol glowed in rainbow light. Leo ignored it and pulled the trigger.

BOOOOOM!

Instead of firing a rubber bullet, the ordinary-looking pistol fired a 1-foot-diameter railgun beam. The rainbow energy evaporated everything in its path and vanished after it traveled 50 kilometers.

"…"

"…"

Leo and Gao Yan's eyes turned into small dots as they had no words to describe the phenomenon. They stood there in silence.

"AHN! OH, YES! HARDER!"

Unfortunately, the sultry noise from a certain smartphone in a broken shelter interrupted the tranquility. In the shack, someone was addicted to a lewd video.

PIKI

The 5,000-YOL gun in Leo's hands cracked and emitted white smoke. It seemed that even the system's gun couldn't handle the recoil and Qi.

Leo clicked his tongue and spent 5,000 years of lifespan upgrading it to level 2.

DING

The pistol was upgraded and automatically repaired. The smoke and the residual essence and Qi were gone.

"Ahem," Leo was embarrassed. "Sorry, I couldn't suppress my… strength. Anyway, you might want to use metal Qi, earth Qi, or wood Qi instead of lightning. Avoid fire Qi by the way. It might overhead the gun like what I just did."

Gao Yan's eyes brightened. He repeatedly nodded and gazed at Leo in admiration.

"I'll keep that in mind, senior! I'll train hard and be as strong as you!"

"Don't rush, boy. You have a long future ahead of you. Also, keep that live rounds with you. There are only…like… 18 bullets in there? Well, I think those ammos are enough to kill an immortal or two. I tested it on a random thief a couple days ago, and it's enough to deter him. Too bad my accuracy sucks or I would have shot him in the head."

"!!!"

When Gao Yan heard the keywords "Kill an immortal or two", he stopped listening to Leo as he was in shock.

An artifact that could kill an immortal?!

Even the dao avatar behind Gao Yan covered her mouth in astonishment before she lowered her head to show gratitude to Leo.

"S-Senior. T-This artifact is t-too much!"

"Meh, just keep it. My store is getting bigger, and those stupid robbers are eyeing our goods. It's okay when I'm around. But when I'm not, you will need something for self-protection. Use it to protect your friends and your loved ones."

Gao Yan shed a manly tear of gratitude. He prostrated to Leo.

"THANK YOU, SENIOR. I WON'T LET YOU DOWN!"

Looking at Gao Yan's overreaction, Leo scratched his face, embarrassed. He then purchased 10 more boxes of rubber ammo for Gao Yan.

"Keep practicing. Also, try not to clean it with water. I'll come back to teach you how to disassemble and assemble that gun and how to clean it later."

"YES, SIR!"

"…"

Leo smiled at the boy. His honesty, manner, and sincere attitude were likable. He wished that his store would have more employees like him.

Thinking of employees and promising young people, Leo recalled the little girl from the women's group. He opened the map and checked Yao Qiqi's status.

Looking at the portrait of the little girl, Leo pursed his lips and hesitated.

'She's too young to work, but that doesn't mean she can't work at my store. Well, she can work here as a playmate for that stupid plant as long as Cat won't eat her. Oh, right. I should also hire experienced managers, too. I can't entrust everything to Wu Buyi alone.'

Leo changed his plan. He brought back Pherrari flying sword and pointed at the east. Before he left, he told Gao Yan.

"I'm going to pay your sect's team a visit. While I'm away, keep practicing. Oh, if a strong monster shows up, don't hesitate to kill it with the live rounds."

"Eh?"

Leo didn't wait for Gao Yan to respond. He looked around and scanned the area with his infrared sight.

Because of the loud gun noise and Gao Yan's lightning bolts, no creature lingered in the area except a couple black caimans in the river.

Leo paused for a moment and picked up a boulder. He threw it into the river.

BOOM

The rock flew like a cannonball, parting the water as if Moses was there. However, as it traveled through the water at a light speed, the boulder reddened and shrank by half.

PU

The hot boulder smashed a unicorn caiman in half. The other one noticed how its friend died and swam away in a panic.

Gao Yan looked at the parted river in astonishment. But when he saw the red area in the transparent river, he understood why Leo did it.

"A-Amazing."

"Anyway, take care of yourself while I'm away. Don't become like your mentor."

Leo snorted and hopped on the flying sword "Pherrari". Learning from his mistake, he ordered it to fly up instead of going straight.

WHOOSH

Just like that, Leo shuttled to the sky and disappeared along with the sword.

Gao Yan looked up and dropped his jaw. He was astonished at how profound Leo's strength was. He then chatted with his dao avatar.

"Say, Senior Thora. Do you think I can be like him one day?"

The lightning spirit giggled and embraced Gao Yan from behind. She whispered in a soft voice. However, nobody but Gao Yan could hear her.

"In a decade years, probably not. A hundred years, very low chance. A thousand years, maybe."

"Wha?! He's that strong?!"

"I can't see through his cultivation base and strength even though I'm a born elemental spirit. He's not an ordinary immortal for sure."

"…Wow."

.

.

WHOOSH

After flying vertically for a few seconds, Leo mustered his strength and put his force on the tip of the flying sword, commanding it to adjust its flying course.

By the time Leo managed to push the flying sword's tip down, he was already at the stratosphere of the planet. The sky was no longer bright, and stars filled the sky.

No moon existed around this planet. Only the white sun at a distance seemed intimidating.

Leo gazed at the space and admired it for a moment. It was different from the Milky Way as the stars were arranged in a square formation. Moreover, the gas wasn't as thick as it condensed around its source.

Looking at the stars, Leo wondered if they were the other mystic realms that were linked to the cultivation world or if they were manmade stars in some pocket dimension.

"Ah, my stupid ring. Who made you? Who was the owner of that alien ship? Why did it appear in my world?"

Leo asked the alien ring that had already become one with his finger. He rubbed it, but he got no response from the ring.
