Weapons and Equipment

"Little Qing, these are the ranks for Fighters. You haven't been exposed to any of this before, but now that you have the time, you can start learning about the Fighter profession," Sister Xin said, handing him the chart.

In the past, out of a desire to protect Xu Qing, she hadn't let him come into contact with anything related to Fighters.

In fact, there were many things Sister Xin kept from him, simply because she didn't want Xu Qing to be exposed to the darker side of the world too early.

Things were different now; Xu Qing was not only gifted in his studies but also a genius when it came to being a Fighter, so it was necessary for him to understand the profession.

Even if he didn't become a Fighter in the future, he still needed a basic understanding, as he would inevitably cross paths with the world of Fighters sooner or later.

Xu Qing took the chart, which detailed the Fighter ranking system: Fighter, War General, and War God, with each rank further divided into junior, intermediate, and advanced tiers.

Above the War God rank, there were existences that transcended the title, such as the world's number one powerhouse, Hong, and the second, Thor.

Correspondingly, the strength of monsters was also categorized into Beast Soldier Level, Beast General Level, Lord Level, and King Level.

Slowly, Xu Qing began to develop an understanding of his own strength.

His power was at the level of an advanced Fighter, which was the third tier.

"Little Qing, you are already a very powerful Fighter, so you can consider starting your training. As far as I know, a Fighter's training revolves around guiding techniques, movement manuals, attack manuals, and, of course, equipment."

"The Alliance has the best of these things, so I'll have them sent over later," Sister Xin said with a smile.

As a young lady of the Xu Family, her status within the Alliance was quite high, making it very convenient for her to purchase these items without many restrictions.

Afterward, Sister Xin took Xu Qing away from the Alliance Mall and returned to the Xu Family estate.

"Little Qing, I've picked out an A-level combat suit and a guiding technique for you. As for a weapon, is it a bow? If so, I'll select an A-level bow."

"As for the movement and attack manuals, I'm not quite sure, so you'll have to take a look yourself. See if there's anything else you want, and if there is, I'll have them sent over together," Sister Xin said, scrolling through the tablet, which displayed various pieces of Fighter equipment.

The category Sister Xin had opened featured equipment that reached the A-level, which was the highest authorization she currently held.

There were S-level and SS-level items above A-level, but Sister Xin did not have the clearance for those.

"Sister Xin, these cost so much money," Xu Qing said, looking at her. The prices were astronomical, measured in the millions and tens of millions.

He still had a clear concept of the value of money.

"It's fine. As the second young lady of the Xu Family, I have that much privilege. Besides, our Xu Family spends over ten billion every year just to hire those War Generals and the few War Gods we have; this amount of money is nothing," Sister Xin said.

With the influence of the Xu Family, while ten billion was not a small sum, it wasn't exactly a fortune either.

"Besides, who knows? You might become a powerful Fighter in the future. By then, you'll earn it all back just by hunting a few General-level monsters. Alright, don't overthink it, just see what you want," Sister Xin smiled.

Seeing that Sister Xin had put it that way, Xu Qing stopped refusing. He browsed through the weapons and equipment until he spotted a special A-level item.

God-Splitting Silk, crafted from materials harvested from King-level monsters combined with Kro Alloy.

This set of God-Splitting Silk was 1,000 meters long but only 0.5 millimeters in diameter. It was incredibly tough; even a Lord-level monster, once bound, could not break free.

Originally, this set of God-Splitting Silk was an S-level weapon.

However, because no Fighter liked using this type of thread-based weapon, or knew how to use it, the set couldn't be sold and was eventually relegated to the A-level equipment list.

Nevertheless, as a former S-level weapon, the price of this God-Splitting Silk remained the highest among A-level equipment: 20 million Huaxia coins.

"Little Qing, do you like this weapon?" Sister Xin asked, surprised to see Xu Qing staring at the God-Splitting Silk.

It was rare to see an S-level weapon that no one wanted being sold at an A-level price.

Even so, it seemed no one had bought it, so she hadn't expected Xu Qing to take an interest in it.

Xu Qing nodded. "I think this weapon is very suitable for close-quarters combat."

Hearing Xu Qing say this, Sister Xin immediately understood his reasoning. It seemed Xu Qing still preferred the bow, but archers were vulnerable to enemies getting close. This God-Splitting Silk seemed like it could compensate for an archer's weakness.

The question was, would Xu Qing know how to use such a specialized weapon?

"Then we'll buy it. We'll also get the best A-level bow. What about the movement and attack manuals?" Sister Xin didn't hesitate; since Xu Qing had his eye on it, it was settled.

Xu Qing shook his head. "Sister Xin, this is enough. I don't need movement or attack manuals."

"Alright, then that's it," Sister Xin thought of his archery skills and his performance in the nerve reaction speed test, so she didn't object.

A set of A-level combat gear, an A-level bow, the S-level God-Splitting Silk, and a guiding technique—by comparison, the guiding technique wasn't very expensive, costing only a few million.

The total came to less than 100 million Huaxia coins—98 million to be exact.

The A-level combat suit was the most expensive part, costing 60 million Huaxia coins for the full set.

It was much less than Sister Xin had anticipated; her budget had been 200 million, and she hadn't even spent half of it.

She felt that Xu Qing was being a bit frugal.

Furthermore, as a core member of the Xu Family, and with the Xu Family being an internal member of the Alliance, she could purchase these weapons and equipment at half price directly through the Alliance Mall.

In other words, she only needed to spend 49 million Huaxia coins to secure everything.

Afterward, Sister Xin picked out a communication watch, a backpack, and other items commonly used by Fighters.

Everything combined cost just a little over 50 million Huaxia coins.

"Hello, Miss Xu Xin, the items you ordered will be delivered in twenty minutes," a message from the Alliance Mall read.

"Little Qing, the items will be here soon. Also, are you really sure you can use the God-Splitting Silk?" Sister Xin asked, looking at him.

Xu Qing scratched his head. "Sister Xin, I feel like it's quite simple."

The moment he saw the God-Splitting Silk, his mind had already mapped out exactly how to use it.

"Then you'll have to demonstrate it for me later, Xiao Qing," Xu Xin said, full of curiosity.

As an S-tier weapon that didn't even attract buyers in the A-tier zone, it was clear just how unpopular the God-Splitting Silk was as a piece of equipment.

Yet Xu Qing claimed it was simple; could that really be the case?

"Mn," Xu Qing nodded, confident in his ability to wield the God-Splitting Silk effectively.

"I'll be waiting to see," Xu Xin said, looking forward to what kind of power the God-Splitting Silk would unleash in Xu Qing's hands.

Twenty minutes passed, not a second more or less, before the Alliance personnel arrived with the items.

"Miss Xu Xin, these are the four items you purchased from the mall," the man in the black suit said with a wave, signaling his two subordinates to set down the four briefcases.

"Thank you for the trouble," Xu Xin nodded at them.

"You're too kind, Miss Xu Xin. Since the items have been delivered, we shall take our leave," the man in the suit said, turning to depart with his subordinates.
