Besides staffs, Lu Yuan also saw elite-grade battle armor and longswords.
Without exception, the prices were all extremely high.
He saw quite a few Gene Warriors standing beneath those elite armaments, looking up at them with tears of disappointment streaming from the corners of their mouths.
For ordinary Gene Warriors, 10,000 spirit crystals was quite a considerable sum.
A Gene Warrior who had engraved ordinary-quality genes could spend an entire day fighting desperately and only kill around thirty fierce beasts.
