Joe Ga, curious, put on his sunglasses and had Curry toss one into the yard.

A loud ’bang’ accompanied by a flash of intense white light made Joe Ga, who was wearing sunglasses and had his back to the light source, squint.

This little thing was essentially a mini flashbang grenade, not as effective as the standard ones, but for personal use, these convenient, inconspicuous gadgets were quite practical.

Picking one up for a quick scan, Joe Ga looked at several boxes of variously shaped pens and fountain pens; this time he didn’t jump in to handle them himself, but instead asked Curry, "What other functions do they have?"

Seeing his boss’s keen interest, Curry perked up and introduced them to Joe Ga one by one…

In addition to the mini flashbang grenades, there were also pens that doubled as miniature recorders and DNA samplers.

They had a recording chip built-in, and a nanoscale blood-collection needle at the end of the pen.

Location Pen: A pen with a built-in location chip and stimulant, this thing could come in handy when an agent encountered an unexpected situation.

Bullet Pen: By turning the pen in a specific sequence when needed, you could trigger the built-in compressed gas and launch the pen tip like an armor-piercing bullet, with close-range lethality comparable to a .22 caliber bullet.

Explosive Pencil: An automatic pencil with built-in explosives, typically used by agents when faced with doors that can’t be opened or when caught in a tight spot; not very powerful, but it could be used to open doors or wound enemies at close range.

Garrote Pen: Pulling at both ends would reveal a thin garrote made of high-strength fibers, a compact assassination tool.

After Joe Ga scanned and tried a few with interest, he shook his head, somewhat disappointed.

The designs and craft of these items were very intricate, but their lethality was a bit too weak for Joe Ga.

He always felt that while these devices looked cool, they probably weren’t meant for real agents.

Especially the bullet pen, in close combat, who would give you time to turn the pen in sequence?

This gadget was suitable for those seemingly harmless agents; soldiers couldn’t make use of it.

Joe Ga didn’t even know whether Tony and his team had gone to an FBI collaborative tech company or a Hollywood props production company.

Beyond those pens, there were various Rolex watches, with the most classic likely being the watch bombs from the 007 movies.

Joe Ga wasn’t a spy himself and didn’t know much about how a spy should work, but he was certain he would never wear a bomb watch on his wrist.

No matter what the triggering sequence was, with bad luck, the gadget could blow up on the wearer.

Besides these somewhat superfluous items, Tony and his team had also purchased many legitimate spy gadgets.

Miniature cameras, miniature listening devices, small electronic detectors, electronic jammers, and many other electronic devices whose names Joe Ga didn’t even understand the use for.

Joe Ga wasn’t overly interested in these gadgets, as they couldn’t fulfill Boss Qiao’s dream of being a master.

It wasn’t until a pair of gloves were introduced by Curry that Joe Ga finally became genuinely excited…

’Electric Shock Gloves’

These gloves were like dismantled high-voltage stun guns, with the battery hidden inside clothing, connected by a wire, and the electrodes fitted onto the fingertips of the gloves; when activated, grabbing hold of an enemy could deliver a powerful electric shock.

The power of the gloves didn’t have the movie-style effect of sending someone flying with a touch; their power was only slightly stronger than police stun guns, but for Joe Ga, who wasn’t up to par in close combat, they were definitely sufficient.

He didn’t ask for much—just to be able to make his opponents wet their pants by grabbing them. What a fantastic ability, right?

Compared to those high-tech but not very practical gadgets, in Joe Ga’s view, the electric shock gloves were the kind of gear he liked.

After trying on the gloves and scanning them, he decided to make himself a pair of multi-functional tactical gloves that matched his skin color; anyone thinking they could get the better of him in hand-to-hand combat would be in for a surprise.

As practical as Joe Ga was, Nis preferred a pair of gloves with biomimetic effects.

According to Curry’s introduction, they were made of a new material that replicated gecko’s feet, not granting the legendary ability to walk on walls, but they could significantly increase the friction of the wearer’s palms.

They were great for climbing, quite practical for Nis who often needed to ascend and descend heights.

Apart from these auxiliary little things, Tony and the team also brought back some special bombs.

For example, magnetic bombs, the kind you see in the movies that stick to the opponent’s car when thrown.

Sure, these gadgets are useful, but definitely not worth the price on the tag.

Joe Ga felt that Tony and the team must have been cheated, as the best way to use this thing was to approach on foot and attach it to the enemy’s vehicle when it stopped at a red light, and even then, due to its size, it wasn’t guaranteed to kill the target.

But that wasn’t even the worst bomb, there was an even more ridiculous one called a thermite bomb, which upon hitting an armored target, would cause a directional explosion, spraying a large amount of thermite in a 50-centimeter diameter area.

The manual said it was used to burn out the target vehicle’s engine, but Joe Ga thought, if you have the chance, why not use an armor-piercing bullet to shoot their engine, or shoot the person, wouldn’t that be better?

Is this thing useful?

Useful!

Especially useful in certain environments!

But after seeing the price, in Joe Ga’s eyes, these things were definitely just a tax on intelligence.

Experience tales with novelbuddy

Joe Ga could understand that some gadgets developed for specific purposes are going to be expensive.

So he didn’t blame Tony and the others, anyway, having one sample in his team was enough, and he definitely wouldn’t be giving those science freaks any more money in the future.

After touring the equipment Tony and the team had spent millions to procure, and seeing some of it tagged with ’Eric’...

Joe Ga made a call back, cursing a storm first, then changing his attitude immediately after learning that a large part of it was needed for his brother Qiao Liang’s unmanned airship.

He inquired in detail about any other needs before hanging up amid Eric’s non-stop griping.

Joe Ga had just learned from the conversation that Qiao Liang’s unmanned airship was making rapid progress; the airship itself was ready-made and test flights went very smoothly.

However, the layout of the electronic equipment inside the gondola and the fuel power system needed repeated testing.

This batch of electronic equipment was added by Eric, who acted on his own after hearing that good stuff could be had here, but since his brother said it was useful, Joe Ga didn’t mind.

College students, eh, it’s beneficial for them to be exposed to cutting-edge advanced technology products, since in the end, it benefits themselves.

Receiving another piece of good news left Joe Ga in high spirits.

He told Nis and the girls about his plans to rescue the Princess of Qatar at the party the day after tomorrow, exciting the group of ladies so much they were itching to jump into action.

They were nowhere near this motivated when fighting drug traffickers. Nis, the girl who had no interest in parties, even volunteered to be part of the backup team.

Nis would lead, Hemostat would drive, Ayu would act as bodyguard, Kitten would be in charge of surveillance, and Monica would provide cover at the scene...

Snatching a princess from the hands of a Shah Prince had these ladies extremely excited.

Joe Ga didn’t "get" their excitement, but he didn’t care; after all, it was mostly the Qatari agents doing the work. If Nis and the others wanted to have some fun, then so be it, as long as they didn’t get caught red-handed.

According to Nis’s plan, a forceful snatch would be more thrilling because, in the end, the princess’s whereabouts couldn’t be kept secret.

However, Joe Ga, intent on not screwing over the FBI again, still decided to keep a low profile.

Turning cooked rice into raw rice and slapping someone’s face weren’t the same thing. There are some things you can do but just can’t talk about; anyway, at that time, Joe Ga would just feign ignorance...

How did the princess get here?

She came on her own.

Why are you protecting the princess?

Do we need a reason to uphold women’s rights?

After explaining the ins and outs and possible outcomes, Joe Ga let the ladies gather to discuss the battle plan, while he looked at the ’amazing equipment’ spread out on the table and suddenly chuckled...

Whether he could use it or not, his career as a special agent had somehow started just like that.
