With Lin Qingyu's strength and status, along with Jia Yi's guarantee, the necessary procedures were completed quickly.
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 made up only a small part of the treasury. Its main component 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.
They also 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 within if an unauthorized person entered. 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 establishment, 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 approached with a smile. "Oh, you must be Comrade Lin Qingyu. You possess Councillor-level strength at fifteen. Even seeing it in person, it still feels unbelievable."
"This is also Huaxia Country's good fortune." Jia Yi was in an excellent mood as well.
Ever since Lin Qingyu had revealed his Councillor-level strength, Jia Yi had been in a very good mood.
"Councillor Lin, let me introduce you. This is Zhu Xi, a Councillor-level expert of Huaxia Country." Jia Yi pulled Lin Qingyu over and introduced the expert guarding the National Treasury.
"Hello, Councillor Zhu." Lin Qingyu also greeted the Councillor.
"Good, good, all good." Zhu Xi smiled in reply. "I have to say, just knowing that we have a genius like you is enough to make me overjoyed."
"Alright, let's go in. I still need to help Councillor Lin choose his weapons." Jia Yi said with a smile.
"Sure. Come, let's verify your identities." Zhu Xi took out an instrument that looked completely unlike anything from Earth and swept it over Jia Yi and Lin Qingyu. Once they were authenticated, he opened the doors to the National Treasury.
"That instrument just now was?" 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 its inspection." Jia Yi said, "Alright, nearly all the weapons and equipment discovered in the Ancient Civilization Ruins are here. You may choose any three."
Lin Qingyu looked over the interior of the National Treasury. With his eyesight, he could see the entire place clearly.
Though the name National Treasury naturally brought a warehouse to mind, 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 cabinets made of specialized glass, each accompanied by detailed descriptions and test results.
Of course, Earth's testing of these weapons still had its limits. Since they were precious pieces of equipment, destructive research was unlikely to be carried out.
However, Lin Qingyu did not actually care about the test results.
His greatest purpose in coming here was to choose valuable equipment. As for practicality or future development potential, none of that was within 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 were merely transitional tools.
Lin Qingyu lacked the inheritances and knowledge of the universe, but with the aid of Will Space, he could completely observe the microscopic structures of these weapons and the Secret Patterns inscribed within them.
The more complex the Secret Patterns, the more valuable the weapon generally was.
Unfortunately, most of the weapons were merely ordinary Tier 1 weapons. Some did not even have Secret Patterns, with only their materials being superior to Earth's weapons.
However, after Lin Qingyu searched carefully, he still found several weapons of sufficiently high grade. Most of these high-grade weapons were either Mental Power Weapons or Qi Gate Weapons.
As for common weapons such as sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, the National Treasury truly did not have any that reached Tier 3, or even Tier 2. 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 any weapon here could possibly be Tier 3, this one was the most likely candidate.
"This is... the Three Dragon Whip? Xiao Yu, are you sure you want to choose this? This weapon is extremely unconventional. Nowadays, there is basically no one who can use it perfectly." Jia Yi hesitated as he looked at Lin Qingyu's choice.
This weapon was indeed extremely unusual in design. It was somewhat similar to a Nine-Section Whip, but unlike the Nine-Section Whip, which had only one whip, it had three soft whips of varying lengths attached to the same handle. The soft whips did not even extend in the same direction from the handle.
Just looking at its structure made it clear that it would be extremely difficult to wield.
"This one, then. I thought it was quite good the moment I saw it." Lin Qingyu nodded.
Jia Yi considered it for a while, but ultimately agreed to let Lin Qingyu choose the weapon.
Next, Lin Qingyu selected two Mental Power Weapons.
One looked like a sphere, but it was actually a weapon formed from three hundred and sixty-five blades of different shapes combined together, likely similar to Luo Feng's Sky-Piercing Shuttle.
The other Mental Power Weapon was a cube assembled from numerous rectangular blocks of varying sizes.
Lin Qingyu recorded the structures of these two weapons. Though they were not as complex as the Three Dragon Whip, they were still quite intricate and at least had the possibility of being Tier 2 weapons.
"Xiao Yu, are you planning to make the path of a Mental Master your primary direction of development?" Jia Yi asked as he looked at Lin Qingyu's choices.
"Yes. A Mental Master has a wider attack range and greater flexibility." Lin Qingyu said, "And that Three Dragon Whip may be difficult for a martial artist to use well, but 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. That was enough.
Lin Qingyu was already an expert. As an expert, it was impossible for everything to be arranged by others.
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.
