With the Energy Storage Cube, your endurance will increase several times, and combined with [Primordial Qi Return], your stamina will be off the charts.
Having decided on his first piece of equipment, Lancelot continued forward, his anticipation growing stronger; there were probably many good items in this warehouse.
Half an hour later, Lancelot had selected three pieces of equipment.
Apart from the initial Energy Storage Cube.
The other two pieces of equipment are a sniper rifle called [Darkness's Fallen Slaughter] and mechanical combat boots called [Gale Walker].
The Darkness's Fallen Slaughter, a three-star Rare weapon, has a slender, jet-black barrel with concealed runes. It is a magic-based weapon, also known as a magical weapon. Powered by dark-attribute magic crystals, it can fire silent shadow bullets. After killing an enemy, it creates a dark field that blocks perception, making it a deadly assassination tool, especially effective in the dark, where it can kill without a trace.
The Gale Walker, a three-star Rare quality mechanical weapon, has a built-in micro-engine that is powered by refined Daniesi Ore or high-quality energy blocks. It has 25 nozzles distributed on the soles and ankles that can shoot out streams of energy light. The direction can be freely adjusted via sensors, which can also enhance the attack power of kicking techniques. With this equipment, Lancelot's running speed is incredibly fast.
"Hmm... I have suitable equipment for energy storage, assassination, ranged attacks, and mobility. Only the disguise aspect is lacking. I've quickly searched the warehouse. Hopefully, I'll find some equipment I like next," Lancelot murmured to himself.
Actually, even if he hadn't encountered any disguise-type equipment, he would have been completely satisfied with this trip.
Especially the Energy Storage Cube, this thing is probably close to Legend quality, the reason it is still marked as Rare quality is probably because it can only be used by one person.
One-time use, lifetime binding—this undoubtedly greatly diminishes the value of this item.
However, this might be good news for Lancelot, as it would be much cheaper, since the price of Legend quality equipment is completely different from that of Rare quality equipment.
As if blessed by heaven, Lancelot had quite the luck today. At the end of the warehouse, he found a piece of equipment with extremely high performance that perfectly met his needs.
Following his gaze, one could see a mass of "liquid" constantly changing shape and color in a transparent glass container, sometimes coalescing into a ball, sometimes transforming into a long, coiled rope, which looked quite strange.
Name: Molecular Aggregation Insect
Rating: Three stars
Quality: Legend
Equipment requirements: Constitution attribute above 40 points, Spirit attribute above 40 points, Cell-level body control ability or assistance from a high-level alchemist.
Description: The essence of this equipment is hundreds of millions of imperceptible insect-like creatures that fuse together into a liquid form, capable of changing shape at will.
Due to their unique structure, these Aggregation Insect are extremely resistant to physical attacks and possess the ability to devour energy and shield Divine Power. When provided with special resources, they can reproduce autonomously and can also infiltrate living organisms to control their actions, making them a multi-purpose biological weapon.
Note: Before using this equipment, you need to control the Insect King with your Divine Power and implant the Insect King into your own brain, so that your own nerves connect with the Insect King's nerves. If you do not meet the prerequisite requirements for the equipment, do not perform the above operations to avoid sudden death.
After selecting the final piece of equipment, [Molecular Aggregation Insect], Lancelot walked out of the warehouse.
"So? Any equipment you like?" White chuckled, his belly protruding.
Lancelot nodded, a clear look of pleasure on his face. "The selections are complete. There are four pieces of equipment: the Energy Storage Cube, the Darkness's Fallen Slaughter Rune Sniper Rifle, the Gale Walker Combat Boots, and the Molecular Aggregation Insect."
White clearly knew the equipment in the warehouse inside and out. After listening to Lancelot's words, he nodded slightly and smiled, "You have a good eye, kid. The equipment you've chosen is among the best in this warehouse."
Lancelot, however, paid no heed to White's praise. Instead, he keenly picked up on the information hidden in White's words, his eyes brightening slightly as he asked, "This warehouse? Does our research institute have any other warehouses?"
White didn't hide anything, "You underestimate our research institute's weapons development capabilities. Of course, we can't just have one warehouse. Otherwise, where do you think we store all the Legendary and higher-level equipment?"
"I see..." Lancelot nodded thoughtfully.
At that moment, he was incredibly grateful for the research genius image he had deliberately cultivated; otherwise, how could he have accessed the research institute's deeper secrets?
"It seems I need to put more effort into the research institute in the future... Wait, could that be what Professor Sugela meant? He just didn't say it outright? Instead, he's using equipment to tempt me..." Lancelot suddenly paused, and after thinking about it, he realized that this possibility was indeed quite likely.
"Tsk, geniuses really do get along anywhere." Lancelot smugly thought to himself, then looked at White and asked, "How many credits do I need to pay for these four pieces of equipment?"
White stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "The quality of the Energy Storage Cube is between three-star Rare and three-star Legend, so let's call it three-star Rare. I'll charge you 900 credits."
Darkness's Fallen Slaughter, 750 credits.
The Gale Walker, 680 credits.
The final Molecular Aggregation Insect, even among Legend quality equipment, this thing is considered top-grade, I'll charge you 10,000 credits.
Four pieces of equipment, totaling 12330 credits.
All of the above have already included your discount, so you won't lose out on the price. It's up to you whether you want to buy it.
"Buy it!" Lancelot gritted his teeth.
If you put it at the exchange point, the price will increase by at least 30% to get equipment with equivalent performance, especially the Energy Storage Cube, which will cost at least 1700 credits.
White had already given him a significant discount, so Lancelot naturally wouldn't try to haggle further; doing so would only leave him with the impression of being greedy and rude.
When the tall young man in front of him unhesitatingly took out more than 10,000 credits, a look of admiration appeared in White's eyes. This was what he admired about Lancelot. Despite being a super genius, he was not arrogant or impatient, knew when to advance and retreat, and was reasonable.
He's only willing to invest in people like that. Otherwise, no matter how talented someone is, it's useless. Otherwise, you'll raise an ungrateful child who will turn around and bite you back in the future, which would be a painful experience.
"Just transfer the money! You can transfer the credits directly to the research institute's account," White said.
Lancelot nodded, raised his wrist, and drew 12330 credits.
In the blink of an eye, his more than 20,000 credits were reduced to only 15,722, almost half gone in an instant. It would be a lie to say he wasn't heartbroken.
But Lancelot didn't regret it. Credits were just numbers on his account, but buying equipment could genuinely improve his strength.
The college's intention in issuing academic credits is not to make students hoard money, but to make good use of these credits to improve themselves.
