Buying a Manual

After watching the video, Yang Wu began browsing through the various features of Extreme Home.

Extreme Home had many features, divided into numerous sections. There were sections for receiving and posting missions, chatting and making friends, and cultivation-related functions.

However, the section Yang Wu cared about most was the "Online Mall."

The Online Mall had everything under the sun: all kinds of Guidance Techniques, Movement Technique manuals, spear manuals, firearms, cold weapons, Gene Agents, and more. It had everything imaginable.

"What I need most right now is a manual that can improve my body's force application!"

As he looked over the dazzling array of products, Yang Wu never forgot his purpose.

"Blazing Spear Technique!"

Yang Wu entered the name under the manuals category.

Blazing Spear Art was a manual Yang Wu had once bought in the Simulator. It contained both force application techniques and spear techniques. Yang Wu had mastered the spear techniques, but he had never learned the force application techniques.

After Yang Wu searched, the screen immediately displayed the full description of Blazing Spear Art.

Blazing Spear Art, Category: Spear Art. Rating: A. Price: 500 million Huaxia Currency (full price), 250 million Huaxia Currency (half price, requirement: Two-Star Contribution)

After reading the detailed description, Yang Wu immediately lost interest in the manual.

For one thing, its rank was too low, and its potential was limited. For another, Blazing Spear Art only included spear techniques and force application techniques. It didn't include the accompanying Movement Technique or Guidance Technique, which he would have to buy separately.

"If I'm going to learn, I might as well learn the best!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Although Yang Wu knew his talent wasn't especially good, he had faith in the Simulator. As long as he bought the manual, he would be able to master it someday.

Having made up his mind, Yang Wu entered "attack manuals" in the search bar.

At once, the screen filled with photos of the manuals, their names, prices, and various descriptions.

At the top was a spear art created by the world's strongest fighter, Hong: the Ultimate Spear Art, World Destroyer.

World Destroyer, Category: Spear Art. Rating: Ultimate. Price: 100 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 50 billion Huaxia Currency (half price, requirement: Four-Star Contribution Points)

Nine Layered Thunder Blade, Category: Blade Art. Rating: Ultimate. Price: 100 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 50 billion Huaxia Currency (half price, requirement: Four-Star Contribution Points)

Phantom Blade Art, Category: Blade Art.

There were manuals of all kinds, and every one of them cost an astonishing amount. The prices of the top manuals were especially outrageous; any one of them could bankrupt a wealthy tycoon.

"Luo Feng learned Thunder God's Nine Layered Thunder Blade! As for me, of course I'm going to learn Hong's World Destroyer!"

Having read the original story, Yang Wu knew that manuals could be purchased in parts, so he wasn't worried about not being able to afford one.

With a light swipe of his finger, Yang Wu opened the detailed description of the spear manual, World Destroyer.

World Destroyer was created by Hong, the world's strongest fighter, and was the world's strongest attack technique. It included an accompanying Movement Technique and Guidance Technique.

World Destroyer had six levels in total. The full set cost 100 billion Huaxia Currency, or 50 billion at half price (requirement: Four-Star Contribution Points).

The first five levels of World Destroyer cost 40 billion Huaxia Currency, or 20 billion at half price (requirement: Four-Star Contribution Points).

The first level of World Destroyer cost 200 million Huaxia Currency, or 100 million at half price (requirement: One-Star Contribution Points).

At the bottom of the webpage was a prominent warning in red text.

"World Destroyer is an ultimate spear art. It is extraordinarily difficult to cultivate and extremely difficult to learn. Most fighters worldwide who have purchased this spear art have yet to master even the first level. Please think carefully before choosing this art!"

After seeing the price, Yang Wu realized that with his current funds, he could only buy the first level.

"But the first level will be enough for now! Once I've mastered it in the Simulator, I'll probably buy the second level instead of cultivating any other manuals."

With a light swipe of his finger, Yang Wu selected the first level of World Destroyer.

After completing fingerprint verification, all the special funds that the Extreme Martial Arts Hall had awarded him for purchasing manuals were used up, and the first level of the manual was successfully purchased.

"Beep!"

"Payment successful!"

"The first-level manual for World Destroyer will be delivered to your home within 24 hours, Mr. Yang Wu!" A series of notifications appeared on the screen.

Next, Yang Wu looked through some of the essential equipment for traveling to the Wilderness Area, such as weapons and combat uniforms.

However, he had already used his privilege to purchase without Contribution Points on the manual, so he couldn't get the discount when buying weapons and equipment.

"I'll ask someone to help me buy them tomorrow!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Besides manuals, certain weapons and equipment, as well as special medicines like Gene Agents, could all be purchased with the help of someone with a high Contribution Points rating.

The next morning, after breakfast, Yang Wu's older sister and brother-in-law were getting ready to leave.

"Big Sis!" Yang Wu called after them. "Why don't you and brother-in-law move here?"

Yang Yun and her husband, Lu Hongfei, had met in college. Although Lu Hongfei now had a decent job, he could never afford to live in a detached villa, let alone one built specifically for fighters.

Yang Yun and Yang Wu were very close. Whenever she came home, she always brought Yang Wu some expensive monster meat or something else.

Hearing Yang Wu's suggestion, Yang Yun was tempted. She knew her younger brother wasn't just being polite, so she turned to look at Lu Hongfei beside her.

Lu Hongfei wasn't very willing, of course. Although living in a detached villa was certainly comfortable, this wasn't his home, after all. Staying for a few days now and then was one thing, but he absolutely didn't want to live here long term.

Yang Yun and Lu Hongfei were in tune with each other. The moment she saw his expression, she understood what he was thinking.

"Little Brother, we're doing just fine at home. Why would we move here? Besides, your brother-in-law and I don't work around here, so it really wouldn't be convenient!"

"Then just quit your jobs! Big Sis, whatever kind of work you and brother-in-law like, I can find you something near Mingyue Residential Quarter!"

Yang Wu spoke with confidence. Now that he had War General Level strength, finding Yang Yun and her husband good jobs would be easy.

"No need to go to all that trouble!" Yang Yun shook her head and said, "Your brother-in-law and I like our current jobs."

Seeing that Yang Yun was determined to leave, Yang Wu didn't press the matter. He just smiled and said, "All right! But, Big Sis, you and brother-in-law have to come visit Mom and Dad often!"

Yang Wu would soon be traveling in and out of the Wilderness Area regularly, while his younger brother, Yang Fan, still had school to attend. Yang Wu was worried their parents might get lonely.

"Of course!" Yang Yun said with a smile.
