Given Lin Qingyu's strength and status, along with Jia Yi's guarantee, the relevant procedures were completed very quickly.
Thus, under Jia Yi's lead, Lin Qingyu accompanied him to Huaxia Country's National Treasury.
In Lin Qingyu's previous life, a nation's treasury had not been entirely a warehouse. Or rather, the warehouse that actually stored physical items had only made up a small part of the treasury. The greater part had been a bank account containing vast sums of money.
However, in the world of Swallowed Star, there were precious pieces of equipment from the universe that could not be analyzed on Earth, so warehouses for storing physical objects were also extremely important.
Along the way, Lin Qingyu saw no fewer than three military War Gods and several patrol units.
Moreover, they passed through several Laser Channels when entering the National Treasury.
The Laser Channels, created using Earth's most advanced technology, would unleash the full force of the Laser Cannons inside upon anyone unauthorized to enter. Even Planetary level experts could possibly be killed by those Laser Cannons.
Of course, Jia Yi and Lin Qingyu were both Councillors and direct members of Huaxia Country's faction, so they naturally had the qualifications to enter the National Treasury.
"Old Jia, it's rare for a busy man like you to come here." After they entered the National Treasury, a man with graying hair but a youthful face walked over with a smile. "Oh, you must be Comrade Lin Qingyu. At fifteen, you already had Councillor-level strength. Even seeing it in person, it still feels unbelievable."
"This is also Huaxia Country's good fortune." Jia Yi was in high spirits as well.
Ever since Lin Qingyu had revealed his Councillor-level strength, Jia Yi had remained in an exceptionally good mood.
"Councillor Lin, let me introduce you. This is Zhu Xi, a Councillor level expert from Huaxia Country." Jia Yi pulled Lin Qingyu along as he introduced the expert guarding the National Treasury.
"Councillor Zhu, hello." Lin Qingyu greeted the Councillor as well.
"Good, good, all good." Zhu Xi replied with a smile. "I have to say, just knowing that we have a genius like you is enough to make me feel overjoyed."
"Alright, let's go in. I still need to pick out weapons for Councillor Lin." Jia Yi said with a smile.
"Alright, come on, let's verify your identities." Zhu Xi took out an instrument that looked utterly unlike anything from Earth and swept it over Jia Yi and Lin Qingyu. After they passed verification, he opened the doors to the National Treasury.
"What was that instrument just now?" Lin Qingyu asked after entering the National Treasury.
"That was a device excavated from the Ancient Civilization Ruins. Not only can it quickly detect a person's iris patterns, fingerprints, and other traits, it can also examine their Mental Power and Genetic Force. No one can disguise themselves under this instrument's inspection," Jia Yi said. "Alright, nearly all the weapons and equipment discovered in the Ancient Civilization Ruins are here. Any three may be chosen."
Lin Qingyu looked into the National Treasury. With his eyesight, he could see the entire place clearly.
Although the name National Treasury naturally made one think of a warehouse, after entering, Lin Qingyu found that it was more like a museum.
Every precious weapon and piece of equipment discovered in the Ancient Civilization Ruins was neatly displayed in counters made of specialized glass, with detailed introductions and test results attached to each counter.
Of course, Earth's testing of these weapons still had its limits. After all, they were precious pieces of equipment, so destructive research was unlikely to be conducted on them.
However, Lin Qingyu did not care about those test results.
His greatest purpose in coming here was to choose valuable equipment. As for an item's practicality or potential for future development, none of that factored into his considerations.
Excluding the Meteorite Star and the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex, the weapons on Earth could at most reach Tier 3. With his talent, Tier 3 weapons would only serve as temporary tools.
Lin Qingyu lacked the inheritances and knowledge of the universe, but with the aid of Will Space, he could fully observe these weapons' microscopic structures and the Secret Patterns inscribed within them.
The more complex the Secret Patterns, the higher the weapon's value usually was.
Unfortunately, most of the weapons were merely ordinary Tier 1 weapons. Some did not even have Secret Patterns, and were simply made of materials superior to those used in Earth's weapons.
Still, after Lin Qingyu searched carefully, he found several weapons of sufficiently high grade. Most of those high-grade weapons were either Mental Power Weapons or Qi Gate Weapons.
As for common weapons such as sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, there truly were none in the National Treasury that had reached Tier 3, and not even any Tier 2 ones. After all, commonly used weapons of high grade would generally be selected first.
"I'll choose this as my first piece of equipment." Lin Qingyu pointed at a Qi Gate Weapon and spoke to Jia Yi.
The Secret Patterns on this weapon were the most complex among all the equipment in the National Treasury. If there was any weapon here that might be Tier 3, this one had the greatest possibility.
"This is... the Three Dragon Whip? Xiao Yu, are you sure you want to choose this? This weapon is extremely uncommon. There is basically no one capable of using it perfectly now." Jia Yi hesitated as he looked at Lin Qingyu's choice.
This weapon truly was bizarre in design. It somewhat resembled a Nine-Section Whip, but unlike the Nine-Section Whip, which had only one whip, it had three soft whips of differing lengths connected to the same handle. Furthermore, the soft whips did not even extend from the same direction of the handle.
Just looking at its structure made it obvious that it would be extremely difficult to control.
"This one, then. I thought it was very good the moment I saw it." Lin Qingyu nodded.
Jia Yi thought for a moment before finally agreeing to let Lin Qingyu select the weapon.
Next, Lin Qingyu chose two Mental Power Weapons.
One of them looked like a sphere, but it was actually a weapon formed from three hundred and sixty-five blades of different shapes, likely similar to Luo Feng's Sky-Piercing Shuttle.
The other Mental Power Weapon was a cube assembled from numerous rectangular blocks of different sizes.
Lin Qingyu recorded the structures of both weapons. Though they were not as complex as the Three Dragon Whip, they were still quite intricate and had a chance of being Tier 2 weapons.
"Xiao Yu, are you planning to make being a Mental Master your main direction of development?" Jia Yi asked as he looked at Lin Qingyu's selections.
"Yes. Mental Masters have a wider attack range and greater flexibility," Lin Qingyu said. "And while martial artists may find it difficult to use the Three Dragon Whip well, as a Mental Master, I can use Mental Power to assist in controlling it."
"Very good. As long as you have a plan." Jia Yi nodded.
Lin Qingyu's explanation made Jia Yi understand that his choices had not been random, and that was enough.
Lin Qingyu was already a powerhouse. As a powerhouse, it was impossible for others to arrange everything for him.
After all, Jia Yi himself was only Planetary level 2. If Lin Qingyu had merely been a War God, Jia Yi would have been confident in guiding his path.
But Lin Qingyu was now already a Councillor, so Jia Yi was more inclined to offer suggestions rather than directly provide so-called guidance.
