Shen Hao didn't waste any words and got straight to the point: "I heard there are guns for sale in Siam. I want to buy a few. If this can be done, you'll be well compensated."
Upon hearing this, Sawang Suxi's eyes lit up, and he quickly smiled, saying, "Mr. Shen, that's very simple.
On a street next to the Royal Theatre in Bangkok, there are nearly 80 stores selling firearms and firearm accessories. It's practically a large gun wholesale market.
These gun shops are all branches of foreign arms manufacturing companies.
In our Siam, as long as you're over twenty, pass a criminal background check, and provide a reasonable reason for owning a gun, you can apply for a gun license.
Although illegal possession of firearms carries a ten-year prison sentence, law enforcement isn't strict.
Many guns are smuggled in from neighboring countries, and quite a few even come from the military and police, who sell guns on the black market to make a profit.
It's easy to buy guns both online and on the black market."
Shen Hao was delighted to hear this. There's a way! Information really is key.
It turns out it's so easy to get guns in Siam. Back home, they never talk about this, so he had no idea.
Indeed, the country loves me, protecting me so well.
However, he'd recently seen a lot of news about Siam being chaotic and dangerous.
Shen Hao only started seeing news about gun proliferation in Siam recently; he'd never come across it before.
Shen Hao said, "So, are we going to the black market now?"
Sawang Suxi replied, "It's still early. I'll take you tonight."
Shen Hao was half-skeptical about the guide's words.
Sawang Suxi seemed to sense Shen Hao's doubts and said helplessly, "What you should really worry about is your own people. If you get into trouble here, nine times out of ten it's because of your own compatriots.
Siam is famous worldwide for tourism; of course, we wouldn't ruin our own reputation. Don't trust your own people too much, and you'll be very safe."
Hearing this, Shen Hao didn't believe it at all. Without collusion from insiders in Siam, who would dare cause trouble?
Siam's corruption is well-known. But Shen Hao didn't care much—now that he had his spatial ability, his courage had grown.
Shen Hao: "Alright then."
After that, Sawang Suxi took Shen Hao to check into a four-star hotel.
What surprised Shen Hao was that the hotel wasn't expensive—a four-star hotel with a king-sized bed was less than 500 yuan.
The cost of living really wasn't high. Even the plane tickets were cheap, making it a cost-effective destination.
If public security was as safe as back home, it would be perfect for tourism.
After entering the room, Sawang Suxi smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, would you like me to introduce you to some local specialties?
We've got girls from Europe, Japan, Siam, Korea—you name it. We also have modified cars.
Prices are reasonable too."
Shen Hao asked in confusion,
"Modified cars? What do you mean?"
"Fully modified—completely feminized," Sawang Suxi replied.
Thinking of Siam's ladyboy culture, Shen Hao instantly understood.
"Is it safe?"
Sawang Suxi said, "Of course, no problem. Everything is legal here in Siam.
How about I take you to Khaosan Road in Bangkok, Patong in Phuket, or Nana Plaza in Bangkok tonight? These are world-famous spots."
"Sure, might as well experience the local flavor."
....
So, Shen Hao gave Sawang Suxi the remaining 2,000 baht.
With the money in hand, Sawang Suxi's service became even more attentive. He smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, you've had a long journey—rest up.
Around 7 PM, I'll take you to the black market."
"No problem."
Around 7 PM, Sawang Suxi came to pick up Shen Hao.
In high spirits, Shen Hao didn't hold back and gave another 2,000 baht as agreed with the guide, which made Sawang delighted.
Riding on Sawang Suxi's motorcycle, they weaved through the streets of Bangkok.
Looking at the bustling nightlife, seeing people from all over the world in Nana Plaza, Shen Hao felt the cultural differences from home.
Soon, they arrived at the black market. With Sawang Suxi leading the way, Shen Hao quickly bought two handguns.
C9.
This gun is a semi-automatic pistol manufactured by the American firearms company Hi-Point.
It stands out for its excellent quality and affordability.
The Hi-Point C9 uses the widely popular 9mm Parabellum cartridge. Its barrel is about 89 mm (3.5 inches) long, with an overall length of about 171 mm (6.75 inches). An unloaded magazine brings its weight to around 709 grams, making it well-balanced with low recoil.
It comes with a standard 10-round detachable magazine, with larger capacities available, which also helps it stand out among compact pistols.
When fully loaded with 10 rounds, it weighs around 822 grams.
However, the seller was asking $2,200 per gun, which was clearly overpriced.
But that was the price—take it or leave it.
After thinking it over, Shen Hao agreed.
For now, he only needed two C9s and 100 rounds of ammunition. He'd worry about future needs later.
Shen Hao urgently needed guns at the moment and wasn't in the mood to haggle. Developing the otherworld was his top priority. With a reliable channel now, buying guns in the future would be much easier.
As an ordinary person, Shen Hao had no contacts or idea where to buy such things.
People talk a lot online, but if you really asked them to buy, how many would have actual sources?
He didn't even speak Siamese—better to buy first and figure out the rest later.
Though expensive, the value it would bring was negligible in comparison.
Sawang Suxi also mentioned that the black
market had some cheaper guns-
homemade firearms priced between 6,000
to 8,000 baht, significantly cheaper than
registered guns, which typically cost
between 15,000 to 30,000 baht.
Shen Hao flatly refused. Those kinds of
guns were definitely full of flaws—there's
no way they could compare to the real
deal.
After that, Sawang Suxi took Shen Hao
around Bangkok to explore the city.
By the time they got back, it was already
midnight.
Surprisingly, Sawang Suxi hadn't tried to
scam Shen Hao at all, which was
unexpected but refreshing.
The next day, Shen Hao and Sawang Suxi
went to an underground casino.
There, Shen Hao witnessed an underground Muay Thai fight-it was downright savage.The fighters showed no mercy, their brutal strikes echoing through the arena, blood
splattering on the floor as the crowd roared
with excitement.
