Lawrence was talking about the "Federal Bureau for the Investigation of Anomalous Creatures", not the "Northern Federal Bureau for the Investigation of Anomalous Creatures"!

When this money was transferred from the fund pool to the Northern Bureau, part of it must have been intercepted by the Northern Bureau, so that in the hands of the Northern Bureau investigators, only this little was left!

Chen Yan was so angry that he had itching teeth, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't even know where the office address of the North Bureau was now - even if he knew, he was not qualified to reason with such a long-established extraordinary biological investigation agency.

.

"damn it……"

Chen Yan was sulking for a while, then regained his composure and noticed the irregular distribution of investigation funds.

He thought about it and found it a bit strange that the "Research on Abnormal Ecology of Spherical Tunguska Caused by Infection with Unknown Bacteria", which seemed ordinary and even a bit nonsense, actually received more than 1 pound of investigation funds, but he originally felt that it was more practical.

"Research on the Ecological Environment and Physiology of Shrimp Man" received less than half of the former.

In the end, he only got 10 pennies for the "Research on the Extraordinary Ecological Niche and Social Formation of Spyro Industries and Abnormal Underground Creatures" that he felt was the most "valuable"?!

Chen Yan was speechless for a long time, and then he thought about it, the North Bureau Archives Office didn't believe that I could complete this investigation?!

Chen Yan followed this idea and thought about the other two investigations.

The investigation of the shrimp man obviously falls within the normal scope of functions of the Northern Bureau, which is only an investigation of "abnormal creatures", so the largest amount of investigation funds are given.

As for the investigation of Spherical Tunguska, although its investigation funds are only half of the former, it is obviously valuable in the eyes of the Northern Bureau, but it is not as large as the shrimp man's investigation.

Chen Yan wondered if this was because the Shrimp Man was an "abnormal Asian" and a type of information that the Bei Bureau lacked.

As for the spherical Tunguska, it was originally just an ordinary extraordinary creature. The North Bureau must already have its complete biological information and even related ecological chain information.

It was because the spherical Tunguska was infected and was related to the news-blocking incident at the University of Methamphetamine that year, so I applied for less than half a pound of investigation funds.

In other words, the "level of rarity" and "level of secrecy" are the criteria for determining how much investigation funds an investigation application will receive.

These are just Chen Yan's guesses.

He still needs to follow his own guessing logic and use more survey project applications to verify it before he can draw the correct conclusion.

Two minutes after he read the notice, the temperature in the room began to drop to a level that could be felt on the surface of the body. In the blink of an eye, the ceiling was filled with thick fog.

It’s [Tongue Box].

Chen Yan didn't know why this thing was called a [tongue box] or how it worked, but fortunately he had seen this happen before, so he didn't panic.

Thick fog condensed on the ceiling, fell from above Chen Yan, and stopped in front of him like a gel. He "spit" out banknotes worth 1 pound, 27 shillings and 15 pence, and an envelope with the Northern Bureau's badge.

Envelope as fire paint.

There is only one phrase on the letter in the envelope——

"Seekers of objective truth, the world will be beautiful again because of your dedication."

Why does the style of this sentence sound so much like a principal...

By the way, the director is the chief investigator of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. With such a high level, he should have the power to formulate such things.

This is probably what the principal said.

Chen Yan threw the envelope aside and took out his wallet from the inside of his clothes.

After buying an electric lantern and a multimeter last time, he probably took a look in his wallet and saw that there was only 2 pounds, 3 shillings and 75 pence left in his wallet.

After spending 30 shillings 107p today to hire the renovation company's construction team, there are still 2 pounds 34 shillings 62p left in the wallet.

Including the investigation funds of 1 pound 27 shillings 15 pence, his total assets reached 4 pounds 11 shillings 77 pence.

On the first of next month, that is, in two weeks, after paying more than 1 pound in land tax, personal tax, water bills and living expenses, he estimated that he would have a little more than 3 pounds left... maybe less than 3 pounds.

With the remaining 3 pounds, it is no problem to maintain basic living in a short period of time.

But with his salary of less than 3 shillings a month, what should he do with his expenses next month, and the next month...?

If he wanted to buy electrical appliances and new furniture for his home, it would be another huge expense. A multimeter could be sold for 70 pennies, and he simply couldn't imagine how much a refrigerator could be sold for.

What's more, he not only needs to buy furniture, but also prepares a sum of money to buy extraordinary items for his next promotion.

A completely unprocessed [Gap Touch] only costs 10 pounds. How much does it cost to buy an extraordinary item stronger than [Gap Touch]?

This is another price that Chen Yan can't even imagine for the time being.

There are too many places to spend money, so Chen Yan must work hard to make money.

Chen Yan divided the precious 4 pounds, 11 shillings and 77 pence into two equal parts. One part was hidden in the pillow, and the other part was folded neatly and put in the wallet. This way, if an unexpected situation occurred, there would be a buffer opportunity and would not immediately change the situation.

Become a pauper.

The sound of construction in the kitchen on the first floor sounded pleasant. Chen Yan felt that the renovation of the kitchen was worth the 30 shillings and 87 pence. After all, the kitchen was used every day, but money could not be spent on such useful things every day.

'Now that I have a new investigation project, I should be able to apply for more bullets.'

Thinking of this, he opened the APP of the Combat Readiness Resources Section.

Completely different from the Archives APP, the APP page of the Combat Readiness Resources Section looks quite rigid, with almost no room for free operation. The page is completely divided into several divided areas, namely:

Two empowered bullets with calibers of 5.56mm and 7.62mm;

Two common bullets with calibers of 7.62mm and 14.5mm;

1 pound energized bullet (18.4mm caliber);

Ordinary bullets (26.3mm caliber) weighing 4 pounds;

(Chen Yan was almost shocked when he saw this. 1 pound is almost 1 catty. Isn’t 4 pounds the weight of 4 catties? Can 4 pounds be called a “bullet”? I’m afraid it’s a cannonball used in a hand cannon!)

Skylark-3000 (assault rifle) (suitable for 7.62mm bullets);

Black Swan Type 1 (light machine gun) (suitable for 14.5mm bullets);

Egret Type 1 (18.4mm single barrel shotgun) (suitable for 1 pound bullets);

Viper Type III (26.3mm double-barreled shotgun) (suitable for 4-pound bullets);

Tongue box [combat type] support;

Call the nearest investigator [button]

…

Chen Yan swiped the screen and found that the columns at the bottom of the APP page were "locked." He could not see what kind of combat readiness support was in the locked columns.

Click on the window where each resource is located, and a floating "numeric scroll bar" will pop up on the APP. Pull the scroll bar to adjust the number of applications.

He thought for a moment and finally applied for every combat readiness resource he could apply for.

Anyway, it doesn’t cost anything to try, but what if I actually apply?

Chen Yan estimated in his mind that based on the difficulty of the investigation project he applied for, he would only be able to apply for a gun and some bullets at most.

After the application was submitted, he thought of another thing:

After last night's adventure, he discovered a serious problem with himself: when he used a pocket pistol like the Skylark-300, he couldn't hold the gun steady when firing, let alone a rifle or a machine gun.

And the shotgun.

Chen Yan believed that he urgently needed to find a shooting club, hire a coach, and train himself.

He set a goal for himself: before entering the wilderness next time... or entering the underground, he must at least learn to use a firearm "more skillfully".

Jack Bardo spends his days hanging out on the streets, so maybe he knows where such a shooting club is.

Chen Yan found Jack Baldo, who was supervising the work in the kitchen on the first floor, and explained his purpose.

"Hmm? Shooting club? Why are you going to that place? It's a place to cheat Kaizi. Most of the coaches are gangsters on the street. They gave themselves a bluffing nickname and dared to be coaches. In fact, they can't even reach 3 meters.

None of the targets can hit the bullseye!"

Chen Yan couldn't understand:

"How is that possible? If the coaches in the club are all like this, why would anyone still go to the shooting club to train? I heard that the business of most shooting clubs in Yanan City seems to be pretty good."

Jack Bardo said:

"There are too many people in Yanan City, and there are too many scammers. There is simply not enough money to deceive. After you have deceived one wave after another, it doesn't matter if you are scolded. There are enough people anyway. Even if you only do one-time transactions, you can still make money.

Money... you go to the shooting club to find a coach, you might as well let me teach you!"

Chen Yan couldn't help but cursed, and then said:

"Are you really good? I'm not joking! Time is very tight!"

Jack Baldo scratched his head and said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, but not only do we have to find a venue, we also have to find a gun, and most likely we have to hire a coach... If we just find a club, even if we pay for a card, I can't teach you at the venue. This is called [

Asking for a private tutor] is an act of robbing people of their jobs and ruining their lives, and your legs will be broken and thrown into the sewer."

Chen Yan held it in for a long time and only cursed "Crap".

Jack Baldo hesitated for a moment and said:

"I heard a few days ago that there are a lot of pirates on the road these days. They are different from the pirates who entered Yanan City before, burning, killing and looting. They are here to do serious business. Not only do they pay taxes, but they also stay in Yanan City.

When purchasing property, I even applied for legal status.”

"Pirates do all kinds of business. They just opened a shooting club in the lower city a few days ago."

"These days there are openings and activities. It's very cheap. You can play for 30 pennies for an hour. Bullets seem to be free. This is about using money in exchange for fame. God knows where the pirates get so much money."

Chen Yan said: "Is the price of 30 pence an hour very cheap?"

Jack Baldo said: "It's very cheap! In the past, there were only shooting clubs in the upper city. Because guns were expensive and bullets were even more expensive, they were only things that wealthy businessmen and aristocratic men could afford."

"I remember when I first came to Yanam City, I followed Mr. Mogwen to the upper town and bought a one-week afternoon ticket... They only cost 10 shillings to become a member."

At this moment, Chen Yan was almost suffocated by the two phrases "one week afternoon show" and "10 shillings".
