Gao Guang had $5,000 on him, which was a huge sum of money for him. With this money, he had the confidence to follow John into the entrance of Outlets.

Outlets was not a brand of a mall, but a shopping center that specialized in selling discounted goods.

However, Gao Guang had never been to Outlets before when he was in China because although the discounts were great, the products sold there were still relatively expensive.

Gao Guang was wearing a pair of classic canvas shoes that he bought for 60 RMB. He thought they were comfortable and good-looking.

His jacket cost him 89 RMB, his T-shirt was 29 RMB, and his sports pants were 49 RMB. In total, his outfit cost only 218 RMB.

All of Gao Guang's clothes added up to less than $50, so Sanchez's eyes were really sharp.

But now, in an outdoor supplies store, Gao Guang was contemplating two pairs of shoes.

One was a pair of LOWA Zephyr mid-top mountaineering boots in sand color, and the other was a pair of SALOMON Assault series lightweight hiking boots. Both were relatively lightweight hiking boots, but they were still heavy and had hard soles, which Gao Guang found difficult to adapt to since he was used to wearing canvas shoes.

However, if he had to walk through a debris-filled ruin or kick open a closed door, he wouldn't think the boots were too hard or heavy. As a future private military contractor, the environment he would face would not be something that could be handled by wearing sports shoes.

One pair of shoes cost more than $300, which was over 2,000 RMB. Gao Guang was reluctant to spend so much money.

However, he had to buy them, so he eventually chose the LOWA boots and said firmly, "I'll take this pair!"

Before the salesperson could speak, John began muttering.

"$1,264, plus $320, you owe me $1,500...um, $1,584..."

"Forget it, it's $1,584. Let's make it an even $1,600," Gao Guang interrupted.

John glanced at Gao Guang and then took out his phone to calculate. After checking the amount, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "You're good at math."

It was the first time in Gao Guang's life that someone had praised him for being good at math.

After getting the amount right, John took out his card and placed it on the counter. He was going to pay for Gao Guang.

In the United States, few people carry large sums of cash with them, and even $100 bills are rarely used. People usually pay for things with credit cards or checks.

Mobile payment was not an option for Gao Guang since he didn't have a card and didn't want to attract attention when he wasn't buying anything. Therefore, he had to ask John to pay for him and then pay John back in cash later.

The result was that John had a headache from calculating, and Gao Guang felt heartbroken from spending the money.Five thousand dollars have already been spent, one thousand six hundred dollars, which is nine thousand six in Chinese yuan, rounding it up to ten thousand. Gao Guang spent ten thousand yuan on clothes, shoes, and belts, which is extravagant, too extravagant. He has never been so extravagant in his life.

A softshell, a hardshell tactical jacket, two pairs of pants, quick-drying hoodie, quick-drying shirt, a dozen pairs of Merino wool socks, and two affordable yet decent suits. Actually, buying all these clothes for one thousand six hundred dollars is already a great deal, after all, once something is related to tactics and outdoors, the price goes up.

Gao Guang silently picked up a bunch of shopping bags and then said to John, "We have bought all the clothes and shoes, can we leave now?"

"Let's go."

Putting away his card, John eagerly helped Gao Guang carry a few bags.

Gao Guang knew very well that the only reason why John was so eager was to learn kung fu from him, so he was really worried. If John found out that his kung fu was just a routine and he couldn't really fight, what would his attitude be?

No, he couldn't just go to the company like this.

Although he was already tired, Gao Guang decided that he must first play with the gun before doing anything else. Otherwise, it would not be so convenient for him to find a shooting range or gun store.

In Los Angeles, if you don't have a car, you can't even take a step. But it's really inconvenient.

John was driving a Ford Explorer SUV. After Gao Guang fastened his seat belt, he immediately said seemingly casually, "John, there is a shooting club near our company, can you take me there to have a look?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's go tomorrow. You will need to practice shooting frequently in the future, and you will soon get bored with it."

Gao Guang said sincerely, "I have liked guns since I was a child, but gun control in China is extremely strict. I can't even touch a gun in China, so I can't wait to touch a gun..."

"Just touch it?"

John turned to the side and pulled out a handgun from his waist, handing it to Gao Guang, saying, "Here, touch it as much as you want."

Gao Guang took the gun and felt that using the word "touch" might be a mistake, but the gun in his hand attracted his attention, making him temporarily forget to correct his mistake.

This is a 1911, much heavier than a Glock 17, but Gao Guang felt that this gun had a great feel to it.

"Great gun! A competition-level Kimber Custom II handgun, this is a great gun!"

Kimber's semi-handmade 1911 handguns are all competition-level and high-end products in the civilian market, slightly larger and heavier than Glock 17, but with much thinner grips, so the feeling of holding it in your hand is even better than that of Glock 17.As a military enthusiast who loves to discuss military affairs online, Gao Xiang may be more familiar with this gun than many users, although he has never used it before. However, how to load, switch on the safety, and change magazines are all engraved in his mind. He can even disassemble the gun without any problems.

John looked at Gao Guang in surprise and asked, "Has Kimber's advertisement reached China? You just said that guns are prohibited in China."

"Um, how should I put it..."

At this point, John sneered, "Alright, you've touched it enough. Give me back my gun."

Reluctantly returning the gun to John, Gao Guang envied it and asked, "This is a high-end gun. How much did you buy it for?"

"High-end? Don't make me laugh. The high-end 1911 is Cabot, followed by Cabot's customer-specific version, then the famous gunsmith's handmade custom version, and Kimber's high-end... it's a joke."

John started the car, but he didn't leave. After putting the gun back in its holster and sarcastically commenting, he finally drove out of the parking space.

Gao Guang realized that it's one thing to talk about guns online, but it's another thing to actually use them. He wanted to discuss with John whether Kimber was considered high-end, but he realized that John was a frequent user while he only learned about it online. Therefore, Gao Guang felt that he had lost the qualification to discuss this topic.

After a long silence, Gao Guang asked, "Do you have a Cabot 1911?"

"Do I look like someone who can afford Cabot? The cheapest one costs at least 3,000 yuan. What can I buy with 3,000 yuan?"

Gao Guang was speechless again. He then cautiously asked, "Why don't you put a red dot sight or holographic sight on your gun?"

John turned his head and looked at Gao Guang, then raised his eyebrows in disdain and said, "Ha, you're a rookie."

Gao Guang felt embarrassed and thought that a red dot sight was a good idea. However, he didn't say anything and silently took out 16 one-hundred-yuan bills from his small bag and handed them to John.

John took the money without hesitation and said, "Alright, after we buy the stuff, I'll take you to shoot a few rounds. I'm tired of hearing you talk non-stop. Buddy, what's so fun about guns? Guns are not toys, they are killing tools!"

Chattering away, John took Gao Guang to a shooting club.

Although it was called a shooting club, it was actually a gun store. However, there were two separate entrances for the indoor shooting range and the gun store. John originally wanted to go directly to the shooting range, but since Gao Guang was with him, how could they not check out the gun store?

The gun store was a paradise that made Chinese gun enthusiasts feel both excited and pained.Several walls were filled with guns, but Gao Guang could only look and not buy because he had no identity, and therefore could not pass the identity check when buying guns.

"Ah..."

Gao Guang let out a sigh of unknown meaning. At this moment, John approached Gao Guang's ear and whispered in a barely audible voice, "If you can teach me a few tricks, I'll help you buy guns and register them under my identity."

After saying that, John patted Gao Guang's shoulder, and Gao Guang's eyes lit up as he whispered, "It's a deal. Let's go try out the guns now."
