Taking the Gene Stabilizer from Lancelot, Sugela walked to a device resembling a bunk bed, placed the Gene Stabilizer properly, and then started the device, his eyes fixed on the massive amount of information displayed on the analysis screen.
Because of the bio-intelligence chip installed in his brain, Sugela possesses extremely powerful memory and computing abilities. For him, the information flow that dazzles ordinary people is as easy as reading a newspaper.
About ten minutes later, Sugela removed the Gene Stabilizer from the instrument and returned it to Lancelot.
"No problem, the Morgan Family didn't do anything wrong, you can use it without worry."
Lancelot smiled broadly, "With your words, Teacher, I feel relieved."
"Since you're going to other planets to carry out missions, you must need some combat equipment," Sugela said.
Upon hearing this, Lancelot's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I'm currently troubled by this matter. Do you have any suggestions, teacher?"
"It's not really advice, just a suggestion. Our research institute has a lot of equipment in the experimental stage; you can take a look." Sugela left it at that, Lancelot immediately understood that she was being offered preferential treatment.
"Where can we get this equipment?" Lancelot asked.
"Go find White, he's in charge of this area, you two are pretty close, aren't you?" Sugela waved his hand.
"Understood!" Lancelot grinned, bowed to Sugela, and walked out of the laboratory.
After navigating numerous twists and turns, Lancelot finally found a man named White.
This was a pot-bellied, bald middle-aged man with small round glasses, a mustache, and an oily face.
White wasn't a researcher; he was in charge of the institute's logistics department, responsible for all resource procurement—a super lucrative position.
It's said that this guy is related to Dean Urta, but I don't know if it's true or not.
"Hey, isn't this our number one genius, Lancelot? What a rare guest!" White was reviewing the quarterly logistics accounts while sitting in his chair, jumped up from his seat upon seeing Lancelot and walked over enthusiastically, looking like a big ball.
"The number one genius? Who said that?" Lancelot asked doubtfully.
White chuckled and said, "It just got around. Didn't you just reach the 409th step of the Holy Sword Stairway? Many people think your progress far surpasses Lujin's, and you should be the number one genius of the Holy Sword Academy. The discussion on the academy's official website is getting hotter and hotter, and you didn't even know?"
"I see. I don't usually check the official website." Lancelot nodded and explained.
He didn't comment on it; Lancelot no longer cared much about such empty titles.
Previously, the problem was a lack of money. If you had a big reputation, you had many ways to make money. You could easily cover your potion expenses for several days by just playing one match in the arena.
However, Lancelot is no longer short of money and prefers to keep a low profile. The Alliance has many enemies, and he doesn't want to be assassinated as soon as he goes out.
Seeing that Lancelot didn't want to say more, White tactfully stopped the conversation and took the initiative to ask, "You didn't come here just to chat with me, did you? Go ahead, what's wrong? If I can help, I won't refuse."
Lancelot's face lit up with joy, and he immediately voiced his request.
"Equipment? Isn't the exchange counter enough for you?" White asked hesitantly.
Seeing this, Lancelot chuckled, "The equipment at the exchange counter ultimately comes from our research institute, so why should I go to such lengths? Besides, given our relationship, if you help me get some good equipment today, I can help you out even better if you run into trouble tomorrow, right?"
"Good lad, with your eloquence, it's a waste that you're not in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. All this going around in circles, it's actually for my own good?" White said with a laugh, but didn't refuse, and walked out of the office with his big belly sticking out.
Seeing this, Lancelot quickly followed.
The two passed through various heavily guarded metal blast doors and took several elevators before finally arriving at a warehouse located at least a thousand meters underground.
White entered a lengthy password and verified his iris. The warehouse door opened with a click, and bright white light shone down from the dome, revealing all sorts of Transcendent equipment neatly arranged.
Technology, magic... it has it all.
They came in various shapes and sizes, many of which were pieces of equipment that Lancelot had never seen before.
White explained, "A significant portion of the equipment here is not suitable for mass production, either because the cost cannot be reduced or the usage requirements are too high, so it has remained in the experimental stage."
"But for you, it basically meets all your usage requirements."
"How much for this equipment?" Lancelot asked. He certainly wasn't naive enough to think it was free; no matter how good their relationship was, he couldn't make such an unreasonable request.
It's important to understand that although White is the head of logistics, he is still under the supervision of the academy's oversight department and the central intelligence. If he acts recklessly, he will soon lose his position.
Lancelot doesn't have the habit of betraying his friends.
"Hmm..." White stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, "You choose first. After you've chosen, I'll give you a price based on similar equipment, and you can just pay the credits."
"Alright!" Lancelot nodded slightly, then strode towards the depths of the warehouse.
The warehouse was huge, and the preservation methods for different equipment varied greatly. Some needed to be soaked in special liquids, some were even placed in raging fires, and others were constantly absorbing electric current.
Fortunately, each piece of equipment had detailed text and video descriptions, making it easy for Lancelot to choose.
As Lancelot walked through the warehouse, he also pondered his own needs.
"The Steel Feather Cloak is excellent in both offense and defense, but with 502 Steel Feather, precise control will quickly deplete its energy. It would be great if there were a device that could store energy."
"In addition, long-range strike weapons, camouflage, and escape equipment each require a piece of equipment."
"That means I need to choose a total of four pieces of equipment."
With a clear objective in mind, Lancelot's subsequent selection process became much simpler.
He quickly set his sights on a piece of equipment.
This is a fist-sized mechanical device, square and neatly placed on the table, looking quite ordinary.
However, the accompanying description reveals the extraordinary nature of this equipment.
--
Name: Energy Storage Cube
Rating: Three stars
Quality: Rare
Equipment requirement: Energy attribute higher than 31 points.
Equipment effect: It can store body energy and use it when needed. The maximum energy storage value is equivalent to the energy derived from 80 points of energy attribute.
Note: Once this equipment identifies a certain type of body energy, its internal structure will be completely solidified, and it can only store that type of energy thereafter.
Description: This equipment was created by Dr. Aixina during an accidental experiment. Due to material limitations, it cannot be mass-produced, and there is currently only one such piece in the warehouse.
"You're the one!" Lancelot's eyes lit up.
