Ji Zhixing looked at the price tag beneath the glass cabinet.
Two hundred thousand Gene Coins.
His pupils contracted slightly.
But he also understood that the price was no rip-off.
An ordinary tier-one combat suit offered some protection and cost only a few tens of thousands of Gene Coins.
The Golden Chapter offered no protection whatsoever.
It was expensive because it took up little of a gene cultivator's carrying capacity.
There was a limit to how much gene equipment any gene cultivator could refine at the same time.
That limit depended on the individual's carrying capacity.
The Golden Chapter took up little capacity and was a type of equipment particularly sought after by gene cultivators with transformation abilities. A higher price was only natural.
"Two hundred thousand..."
He quickly calculated how many Gene Coins he had. Selling the Wind-Splitting Short Saber had earned him ninety-five thousand, and he had already had a hundred thousand left. That made a hundred and ninety-five thousand in total.
He was five thousand short.
Besides, even if he had enough money, spending so many Gene Coins on a piece of support equipment that did nothing directly to improve his strength would still make his heart ache.
Gene Coins were hard to come by. Every last coin ought to be spent where it counted most.
"Still..."
Ji Zhixing turned and glanced toward the arena on the first floor in the distance.
The crowd was roaring, and the fighting was in full swing.
"If I could get this piece of gene equipment for free, that would be a different story."
He silently considered the idea, his gaze gradually sharpening.
"What do you think?"
Zhou Yuan noticed Ji Zhixing's gaze and followed it toward the arena downstairs. "They're holding a Glory Challenge downstairs," he asked with a smile.
