Richest Rag-picker
Chapter 328 - 317: Even Scolded Myself...
While this gun wasn’t as powerful as the Desert Eagle that Demo Did had shown, it was undoubtedly one of the best handguns available. Its accuracy, durability, power, and ergonomics were all flawlessly perfect.
And Qi Xiaotian was certainly qualified to speak on this gun, as it was the very handgun he had used during his military service.
Demo Did was taken aback. Seeing Fang Chenyi’s earlier reaction, he had assumed the man had never seen a real gun before. He never expected that Fang Chenyi would be carrying one himself.
Seeing how curious Demo Did was, Fang Chenyi casually prepared to hand the gun over to him.
But before he could, Qi Xiaotian, who was standing to the side, spoke up first with a smile.
"Brother Fang, can I take a look at it first?"
Fang Chenyi was a bit startled. Ever since Qi Xiaotian had started following him, he never initiated conversation, no matter the situation. It was unexpected for him to speak up so suddenly today.
Yes, suddenly. Logically speaking, Qi Xiaotian shouldn’t have said anything at that moment.
But Fang Chenyi was only surprised for a moment before he smiled and handed the gun to Qi Xiaotian first. After all, in his heart, he didn’t see the guy as an outsider.
"Heh, I forgot about your background, kid. What, getting the itch seeing this thing? Here, you take a look first. When you’re done, let Old Di have a look too."
Qi Xiaotian grinned and scratched his head, mumbling something about how seeing it made his hands itch.
After taking it, with a CLICK, he first ejected the magazine and quickly checked if there was a bullet in the chamber. Only then did he bring it back up and pretend to examine it.
However, Fang Chenyi saw through Qi Xiaotian’s actions and understood his true purpose.
’Ejecting the magazine wasn’t just for show. The guy clearly had an ulterior motive—he was thinking about my safety.’
Qi Xiaotian’s next move proved this suspicion. The reason was simple: he handed Demo Did an empty gun without a magazine.
Demo Did knew exactly what Qi Xiaotian was doing, but he didn’t mind. In fact, he quite admired the man. At the same time, he felt a little helpless. ’When will my own bodyguards ever reach this level of professionalism?’
Demo Did turned his attention to the gun Qi Xiaotian was handing him and let out a gasp. He reached out, took the handgun, and his eyes lit up. Then, with a wry smile, he sighed and said to Fang Chenyi:
"Sigh... Boss, why is it that every time I try to flex, you have to show up and crush me? A platinum, diamond-studded Beretta 92F... even its most minor parts are made of special rare materials. Boss, I see it now. You, sir, are my nemesis!"
Hearing this, Fang Chenyi froze, then looked at him in bewilderment and asked:
"Uh, this is platinum and diamond-studded? I don’t see any diamonds."
As he spoke, Fang Chenyi took the handgun back and began to examine it closely.
Fang Chenyi wasn’t lying. He had turned it over and over, looking for a long time, but couldn’t see even a hint of a single diamond.
In response to Fang Chenyi’s words, however, Demo Did’s face fell.
"Boss, I give up. I really do. Please, just stop crushing me, okay...?"
Demo Did was truly convinced now. Although his Golden Desert Eagle wasn’t the only one in the world, there weren’t many either. Only 500 were ever officially produced, which was already quite rare.
He usually used it to show off, but he never thought that in front of Fang Chenyi, it would be so insignificant.
Demo Did had actually heard of this platinum, diamond-studded Beretta 92F. He even knew that there was only one in the entire world, and in terms of value, it was priceless.
He’d heard it was in the collection of a mysterious tycoon. He never imagined that this mysterious tycoon was Fang Chenyi himself.
At this moment, Qi Xiaotian, who was standing to the side, couldn’t help but speak up as well:
"Brother Fang, the weight of this gun is off. The empty weight of this model should be 0.96 kilograms. But when I held it just now, I could feel that even without the magazine, this gun weighs at least 1.5 kilograms."
Fang Chenyi genuinely knew nothing about this. Forget the gun’s proper weight—he didn’t even know what model of handgun it was.
He looked at Qi Xiaotian in confusion and asked:
"To say it’s platinum... that might be possible, since the color is about right. But I still don’t see any diamonds on this gun. Did you?"
Qi Xiaotian shook his head and said he didn’t know and hadn’t seen any.
Hearing this, Demo Did looked at Fang Chenyi’s face in disbelief. Seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, he asked hesitantly:
"Boss, you really don’t know?"
Fang Chenyi rolled his eyes irritably.
"Duh. If I knew, why would I be asking you?"
Hearing this, Demo Did slapped his forehead and muttered:
"Oh my god, what is wrong with this world...?"
Just as Fang Chenyi raised his hand to give Demo Did a knock on the head, the guy finally spoke up again.
He pointed to an inconspicuous white screw on the gun’s frame and said to Fang Chenyi:
"Boss, let’s start with this one. It’s a diamond!"
Then he pointed to the center of the front sight. "This. Diamond!"
"And this one, it’s a diamond. This one, this one, and this one—all diamonds. And not just these. There are many more inside the frame. Most importantly, these aren’t your ordinary, commercially available diamonds. The diamonds on this handgun are not only incredibly hard, but they also have metallic properties, probably because they contain other elements. That’s precisely why this gun is the most expensive handgun in the world, bar none..."
Following Demo Did’s finger, Fang Chenyi looked at each spot and was amazed to find that these diamonds shattered his understanding of what diamonds were. The ones on the gun didn’t have that brilliant sparkle; some even had a metallic appearance.
This was why Fang Chenyi hadn’t noticed them in the first place.
’I can’t believe it. Just a moment ago I was calling Demo Did a spendthrift, and now it turns out I’m one too. And from the looks of it, I’m an even bigger spendthrift than he is!’
’Damn it, I even ended up cursing myself.’
But now Fang Chenyi was very curious. Firing a single shot from Demo Did’s solid gold gun cost five or six hundred yuan. So how much would it cost to fire one shot from his own gun?
Seeing that the gun was back in Fang Chenyi’s hands, Qi Xiaotian discreetly handed the magazine back to him.
After taking the magazine, Fang Chenyi put it directly back into his woven bag, though to everyone else, it looked like he was putting it in his handbag.
The car drove on and soon arrived at a pier.
Once the car came to a stop, Demo Did got out first, with Fang Chenyi, Qi Xiaotian, and Liu Yishou following close behind.
After getting out of the car, they looked up and saw a massive, brightly lit cruise ship docked at the shore, welcoming passengers aboard.
Although it was still far away, Fang Chenyi, Qi Xiaotian, and Liu Yishou were all stunned by its sheer size.
"Brother Fang, that thing looks even bigger than an aircraft carrier!"
Qi Xiaotian swallowed hard and said in shock. Liu Yishou, hearing this, nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Fang Chenyi had never seen a real aircraft carrier, so he had no frame of reference for comparison. However, he knew one thing: this thing was truly massive. In his eyes, it was comparable in size to the Bird’s Nest stadium!
"Haha, come, come, let me introduce you all. This is my boss!"
