Luo Yuan's gaze settled on the enormous screen on the media room wall. A button kept flashing, with a line of text above it: "You have two new emails."
Luo Yuan lightly tapped the touchpad on the wireless keyboard and opened his inbox.
Whoosh!
The first email opened, and a video appeared.
"Hello, Mr. Luo Yuan." A middle-aged man in a black suit appeared on the enormous screen and smiled. "I'm Supervisor Zhuge's assistant. I'm sure you've already seen the twenty million in startup funds he promised you. As for movement technique, blade technique, and guidance technique manuals, as well as equipment, you can purchase them directly through our internal network. Provided the total does not exceed two hundred million, the internal network will reimburse the purchases directly without charging you a cent. If the total exceeds two hundred million, you will have to cover the excess yourself, Mr. Luo Yuan. On the supervisor's behalf, I would also like to congratulate you on passing the martial artist combat assessment."
The video ended as soon as he finished speaking.
"The Limitless Martial Hall really is efficient." Luo Yuan clicked on the second email.
This email also contained a video.
"Greetings, esteemed newly qualified warrior Luo Yuan. On behalf of the Limitless Martial Hall, I welcome you to our family." A sweet-looking girl smiled. "This is your first visit to the Limitless Martial Hall's internal network-Limit Home! Allow me to introduce its functions."
The girl in the video then gave a detailed explanation. Luo Yuan barely paid attention, only taking note of one sentence: "If you have enough contribution points, all the items mentioned above are available at half price!"
"There are two main ways to earn contribution points."
"The first is to hunt monsters and harvest valuable materials from their bodies. Sell those materials to the Limitless Martial Hall, and you can earn both money and contribution points."
"The second is to donate money to the Limitless Martial Hall. The more money you donate, the more contribution points you earn. The current rate is... one contribution point for every ten thousand Huaxia Currency donated! The donation system accepts donations starting at ten million Huaxia Currency, and each warrior can donate a maximum of one hundred billion. In other words, the maximum number of contribution points you can obtain through donations is ten million!"
After listening to the explanation, Luo Yuan still felt that hunting monsters was the best way to earn contribution points. He could gain points and make money at the same time. Donations were clearly a trap for rich people with mediocre talent. Still, he donated ten thousand Huaxia Currency and received one contribution point, allowing him to enjoy half-price discounts.
The Limitless Martial Hall's internal network, Limit Home, really was useful. He could even pay for one-on-one online instruction from war general-level or even war god-level experts. Luo Yuan, however, still preferred getting things for free.
The Limit Home website offered many functions across various sections, including accepting and posting missions, private meetings and chats, cultivation, and donations. What attracted Luo Yuan most, however, were the Warrior Forum and the Online Mall.
Luo Yuan browsed the Warrior Forum for a while, broadening his horizons considerably. It turned out there were all sorts of intricacies to being a warrior. Still, many posts were nothing more than personal opinions, so he did not take them seriously.
"Let's check out the Online Mall."
Luo Yuan tapped the wireless keyboard's touchpad and entered the Online Mall.
Immediately, a wide range of detailed item categories appeared on the enormous screen on the media room wall. Luo Yuan selected "Manuals," then "Attack category." After three clicks, photographs of individual manuals appeared on the screen, along with their names and prices.
"Annihilation," category: spear technique. 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 technique. 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 technique. Rating: SS class. Price: 10 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 5 billion Huaxia Currency (half price; requirement: three-star contribution points) ... "Mist Sword," category: sword technique. Rating: S class. Price: 3 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 1.5 billion Huaxia Currency (half price; requirement: three-star contribution points) ... ...
Without hesitation, Luo Yuan bought the first three layers of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, using up one hundred million of his reimbursement allowance at half price. A blade technique that came with a matching top-tier movement technique and guidance technique was an excellent deal. He decided to spend the other hundred million on equipment. Besides, the first four layers of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade cost 250 million Huaxia Currency at half price, which he could not afford yet.
A prominent warning in red appeared at the bottom of the webpage: "The Nine-Layered Thunder Blade is an Ultimate blade technique with an extremely high cultivation difficulty and an exceptionally demanding entry threshold. Many warriors around the world have chosen this technique, only to fail to master even the first layer. Please consider your choice carefully!"
The warning left Luo Yuan feeling a little uncertain. I should be able to master it, right? I wonder if I can pick up the corresponding attributes for the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.
Next, Luo Yuan opened the weapons list and quickly found the Blood Shadow Battle Blade No. 2 series.
Blood Shadow Battle Blade No. 2 series, model A1-price: 100,000 Huaxia Currency (full price), 50,000 Huaxia Currency (half price; requirement: 1 contribution point) Blood Shadow Battle Blade No. 2 series, model A2-price: 500,000 Huaxia Currency (full price), 250,000 Huaxia Currency (half price; requirement: 1 contribution point) ... ...No. 2 series, model A5-price: 6 million Huaxia Currency (full price), 3 million Huaxia Currency (half price; requirement: one-star contribution points) ...
Gritting his teeth, Luo Yuan bought the model A9 Blood Shadow Battle Blade outright. It could be used against high-tier lord-level monsters and cost fifty million Huaxia Currency at half price. He then bought a Fine Backpack, a Fine Combat Communication Watch, a model B6 shield, and a complete Series D9 Combat Suit. Calculating that he had twenty million Huaxia Currency left in his reimbursement allowance, he decided to buy a few throwing knives in case he needed them.
After browsing for quite some time, Luo Yuan finally bought six Series 9 throwing knives. With enough strength behind them, Series 9 throwing knives could easily injure high-tier lord-level monsters. They cost him twenty million Huaxia Currency at half price, completely exhausting his two-hundred-million reimbursement allowance.
Looking at the twenty million Huaxia Currency in startup funds he still had left, he struggled to decide what else to buy. After thinking for a while, he decided to save it for emergencies.
Luo Yuan had actually considered buying a Gene Potion, but he abandoned the idea after reading the description. Although these low-grade gene potions could boost a warrior's strength in a short time, further improvement became difficult once their effects wore off. It was like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, severely harming future development. Only warriors whose strength had reached its limit, with no hope of further improvement, would use them.
However, he found discussions about dragon blood on the Warrior Forum. It was a rare potion that could improve physical fitness. Using it greatly increased cellular activity and could raise one's strength by at least two levels. Valued at eighty billion, it was far more powerful than picking up attributes.
