A Vector.

This gun was quite famous for its high rate of fire in his previous life. Even to those who only had a passing interest in firearms like him would know of its fearsome reputation

The same is true on Terra. Sanktas are usually the ones that use them.

Even if they aren't gun fans, most boys would adore guns and Lin Ye is no exception to that fact.

He would even just enjoy cleaning his Colt Python in his spare time.

If it weren't for the lack of bullets, he would have liked to fire a few shots everyday, rather than just making it an ornament.

So, when he saw the Vector in the box, Lin Ye was so excited that the hand he stretched out to touch the gun was trembling, fearing that this was all an illusion.

'It's beautiful'.Lin Ye can feel a single tear fall from his eye.

Skadi watched from the side, and then slowly said, "You seem to be very happy?"

"Of course, I'm happy." Lin Ye finally picks up the Vector, feeling its weight in his hands,

"This is a Vector." He shows it to her with pride.

"What's that?" Lin Ye realizes that Skadi couldn't know what Vector is. He then explains,

"It's this gun...no, the name of this guardian gun. Vector."

He remembered that in Terra, guns don't have brands. Only Lin Ye knew that his revolver was a "Colt Python". Even the previous owner of the gun, Muyue didn't know that.

The people of Laterano have their own names for the guardian guns, but Lin Ye didn't plan to call them according to their usual conventions...

After all, "Vector" is its original name.

It's much cooler!

"Is it the guardian from Laterano?" Skadi asks softly, "I heard it is a very good mid-range weapon.'

"Of course, it is! "Lin Ye smiles.

But he still feels a little disappointed, because, in Terra, guns were much weaker and underwhelming. It was far from being as powerful and deadly as the guns in his previous life.

The reason why the Laterano people, that is, the angels, are the only ones who use guns is because they're an easy replacement for swords.

In addition, there is also the trouble of maintenance and the supply of ammunition.

Except for the angels and Lin Ye, not many people love and appreciate the beauty of guns!

But even so, it is still a powerful weapon. If Lin Ye's Colt Python can only be used for self-defence situations, then Vector, he is calling it that now, is a real offensive weapon.

His combat effectiveness had increased just by having the Vector.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye immediately turned his attention to the bullets in the box. He took out all the bullets and began counting them down one by one. Once he finished, the excitement in his heart simmered down a little. Because there are only fifty rounds in total.

Lin Ye rummages the inside of the box but couldn't find any more bullets.

Only fifty shots.

Lin Ye picked up Vector's magazine. If he could recall correctly, the Vector's short magazine can hold 25 rounds, which means that these 50 rounds can only fill two magazines.

For a submachine gun like the Vector which has a high rate of fire, the bullets that he had could be used up in just a few bursts. Thinking this, Lin Ye's mouth twitches slightly.

Skadi notices the change in Lin Ye's face and asks, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Ye shakes his head "It's nothing, I'm only feeling a slight heartache."

"Heartache?"

"Yes." Lin Ye sighs,

'Of course, I'm heartbroken!'

There are only fifty bullets. He can't last to the end of a battle if he shoots continuously, and with his marksmanship, it is hard to say whether he can hit five people with only fifty rounds.

Therefore, regardless of the amount of ammunition or the hit rate, once he encounters an enemy, he can only fire short bursts or shoot at a time. So here comes the problem.

'Oh, come on! This is a Vector! Aarrgghhh! I can only shoot for one minute? Give me a break, will you?!'

He only wants to be like Exusiai. Looking down at his enemies and gunning them down.

A Vector is designed to let lose a long spray of bullets

If it can only be used for shooting in bursts and can only last for a minute, then it is useless for him.

For a moment, Lin Ye thinks that he should return the gun to Swire so that he can get a replacement.

But that thought was immediately cut down by him. Lin Ye forgot that he had requested Swire for a gun a few weeks prior. So, it means that Swire spent more than a week trying to find and sending the Vector to his office.

She really took this matter to her heart.

For a lady with her disposition, it is rare for her to do that for others.

And if Lin Ye returns the gun, he would be seen as a scumbag for doing that. Even if Swire kept quiet about it, she definitely wouldn't be happy.

Secondly, the value of this Vector.

Guns are monopolized by the Laterano people, it's not easy for outsiders to get one.

Even Lungmen's leader, Wei Yenwu only gave his daughter, Muyue a pistol for self-defence. Not entirely unreasonable given the nature of the world.

Even Jessica who had connections said that apart from the angels themselves, most outsiders who want to get a gun can only get a short version of it, which is a pistol. Even a rich woman like Jessica and a Sankta like Exusiai clearly told Lin Ye that acquiring a firearm is challenging even through her. Let alone a Vector.

If Lin Ye asks Swire for a better gun, it would not only be a dumb decision from a social standpoint, but also from a logical standpoint.

In the end, the world of Terra is different from Lin Ye's previous one, and one of the differences in the practicality of guns.

And according to a smart young lady like Swire, she just thought that a Vector is the best gun for him.

After considering these points, Lin Ye didn't have the intention of changing guns anymore.

Besides, the Vector had another big plus...It looks badass!

Even in his previous life, a Vector is also the type of gun that had a better reputation than its practicality.

For various reasons, few countries in the world have used it as a standard-issue weapon in the military and police forces. Even in dramas, they gave it to the villain for them to look badass.

Especially the one in Lin Ye's hand. The gun's body is snow-white, and at the end of the gun, an engraving of angel wings was present. There was also a line of words etched upon the gun's length.

With These Bullets, I Return Thee To The Blessed Land

The words looked very delicate and intricate. This gun should be brand new too since no scuff marks or smudges were present. Probably because Swire would hate buying second-hand goods as gifts.

Yup, there is no way he would want to or could return this. The combination of the beautiful engravings and the amount of work to get this for him makes Lin tear up a little.

'I'm so sorry for thinking to give you back! Please forgive this ignorant fool!'

Skadi, who had been standing by and observing Lin Ye, couldn't help but ask, "Lin Ye, about yesterday..."

"Huh? Yesterday?" he didn't look up from the gun while asking.

After thinking about it, Skadi shakes her head, "It's nothing."

'... So, most men love guns.'

Lin Ye admired the gun for nearly ten minutes and touched almost every nook and cranny of the Vector before he reluctantly placed it back into the safe.

The reason why he is even holding himself back is that Skadi is still in the room. If Skadi was not there, Lin Ye would definitely pick up the gun and do a dozen poses before he would put it down.

When his excited mood calmed down, Lin Ye realizes that there are two issues he has to settle first.

First of all, he wants to reply to Swire with a text message to express his gratitude.

Of course, a text message is not going to be enough to show how grateful he is but he didn't want too much, she is a busy woman after all.

The second and most important issue is the issue of bullets.

Swire only gave him fifty rounds in total. It is impossible for him to conserve the fifty bullets. Although he knows he can't get a lot of bullets, he still can't wait to fire the gun.

'So, who should I look for? The easiest answer is Swire, but Swire is not a Rhodes Island employee. For a long-term plan, it is best to use the channels in Rhodes Island instead.'Lin Ye immediately thought of two candidates.

One is the timid cat girl Jessica, and the other is the Penguin Logistics employee, Texas who was currently working in Rhodes Island. Both of them should be able to provide bullets for him.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye couldn't sit still anymore.

After putting the bullets and gun back into the safe, he immediately stood up and said to Skadi that he has something to do before quickly dashing out of the door.

Only Skadi is left by her lonesome in the room.

After Lin Ye left, Skadi slowly turned her gaze to the gun. She stares at it for a long time without knowing what she is thinking. But somehow, for some reason, she couldn't understand she was jealous of the gun.

A few minutes later, the office door slowly opens, Skadi looks up and sees a Lupo woman with long silver hair and two long swords strapped to her waist strutting in.

Lappland looked at the agreement form in her hand and scratched her head. "Is this the psychology...err counselling room?"

Skadi didn't want to answer at first but thinks that it seems to be her job so in silence she nods.

"Oh!" Lappland smiles happily, "Then you are the person in charge here?"

"Hmm," Skadi affirmed.

"Can you stamp this?" Lappland unfolded the agreement, pointing to the part that needs the signature of the counselling room, "That Orchid woman asked me to come here."

Skadi thinks for a while and nods.

{Rhodes Island's Psychologist}
