Chapter 30 New Weapon: Purple Lightning with a Tier 4 Magic Core
There is a floating display screen on each side of the storefront, scrolling through today's hottest products and special offers.
"Flaming Blade, Grade B, Tier 1, Special Price Today: 880,000," "Complete Scales of a Tier 3 Demonic Fire Scale Python, Limited Time Offer: 15% Off," "Buy 10 Mid-Grade Bone Tempering Pills, Get 1 Free"...
Lin Yuan walked inside while reading, and the security guard at the door glanced at him.
The boy carrying the spear was dressed plainly, but his eyes were calm and collected. He was clearly a superhuman who had spent years living on the edge, not a student just wandering around.
The security guard looked away and did not stop him.
The foot traffic in the lobby on the first floor is even more exaggerated than in the shopping mall.
The weapons counter was surrounded by people, some testing knives, some gesturing with spears, and some drawing bows to test their strings.
Lin Yuan headed straight for the weapons section.
His spear was an E-grade, Tier 1 spear with a tungsten steel alloy body and a spearhead mixed with a little monster bone powder. He bought it in Donghai City for 3,500 yuan.
This spear accompanied him for more than ten days, during which he defeated dozens of monsters ranging from Tier 1 Level 2 to Tier 1 Level 8. The battle marks on the spear were more numerous than the number of his Bone Tempering Wheels.
However, given its E-rank, Tier 1 base, the shaft already had minor cracks, and the armor-piercing effect of the spear tip was weakening.
It's okay for dealing with first-tier monsters, but it's useless against second-tier monsters.
He needs a new gun.
The long gun section occupied an entire wall.
From Grade E to Grade A, from Tier 1 to Tier 3, all kinds of guns were lined up neatly.
Spearheads can be single-edged, double-edged, triangular, or conical.
The sales assistant behind the counter was a round-faced girl in her early twenties, wearing the market's standard dark blue uniform with a name tag pinned to her chest: Xiao Zhou.
Seeing Lin Yuan approach, she gave him a standard professional smile.
"Hello, what kind of gun would you like to see?"
"Lightning type, second tier, B grade or above," Lin Yuan said succinctly.
Xiao Zhou's eyes lit up.
The person who spoke was a second-tier B-level expert; this person knows what they're doing.
She came out from behind the counter and led Lin Yuan inside, stopping in front of a row of spears displayed separately.
This row is different from the densely packed displays outside; each pole has its own independent display shelf.
The gun is covered by a transparent protective cover, and a small label is embedded in the base, indicating its grade, material, and price.
Xiao Zhou explained, "This row consists of level 2 B or higher lightning-type guns. Take your time looking around, and if you find one you like, I'll bring it out for you to try out."
Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the rows of guns.
The first shaft has a silver-white barrel and a three-sided conical tip, with lightning runes engraved on the middle section of the shaft.
The label reads: Tier 2, Grade B, Silver Lightning, made of lightning-patterned steel with a Tier 3 lightning magic core, priced at 780,000.
The advantage is that it has high lightning conduction efficiency, while the disadvantage is that the gun barrel is relatively heavy, making it suitable for power users.
The second gun has a dark blue barrel, a double-edged spearhead with barbs, and lightning runes engraved on the barbs. It's a Tier 2, Grade B, Thunder Fang, made of dark blue black iron with lightning dragon teeth, priced at 920,000.
The advantage is that the barbs can tear open wounds and carry a small amount of grenade poison. The disadvantage is that the barrel is relatively soft and not suitable for head-on collisions.
Third pole —
Lin Yuan stopped.
On the display shelf was a long spear, entirely dark purple.
The gun barrel is slightly shorter than a regular long gun, about two meters long, which matches his current height and arm span perfectly.
The spearhead is single-edged, with a faint purple halo around the edge.
The label reads: Tier 2, Grade B, Purple Lightning, made of Purple Thunder Cloud Iron with a Tier 4 Thunder Attribute Magic Core, Price: 1 million.
Fourth-tier magic core.
Lin Yuan's gaze lingered on the words "fourth tier" for a moment.
Magic cores are energy crystals within magical beasts; the higher the grade, the more valuable they are.
A first-tier magic core costs a few hundred yuan, a second-tier costs a few thousand yuan, a third-tier costs tens of thousands of yuan, and a fourth-tier costs at least one hundred thousand yuan.
This gun uses a fourth-tier lightning-attribute magic core as its core, and its price is set at one million, which is honestly not expensive.
"Can I try this one?" he asked.
Xiao Zhou's eyes lit up even more, and he quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes!"
She opened the protective shield, carefully took out the gun, and handed it to Lin Yuan with both hands.
The moment Lin Yuan gripped the gun barrel, his fingers unconsciously tightened.
The feel of Zi Lei Yun Tie is completely different from that of tungsten steel.
It wasn't the cold, unapproachable kind of feeling, but rather a slight warmth, like something breathing inside the barrel of a gun.
He infused it with a trace of lightning-based supernatural power.
On the single blade of the spearhead, purple lightning condensed into a thin arc of electricity, dancing quietly without making a sound.
A silent clap of thunder is often more terrifying than a loud, deafening roar.
Xiao Zhou, standing nearby, explained at the opportune moment: "The characteristic of Purple Lightning is 'condensation.' Ordinary lightning guns release lightning in a diffuse manner, covering a large area but with dispersed power."
Purple Lightning uses a fourth-tier lightning-type magic core, and combined with the energy compression properties of the Purple Lightning Cloud Iron itself, the lightning can be condensed into a single line. With the same energy consumption, its penetrating power is increased by at least 30%.
When Lin Yuan put the gun down, he had already made up his mind.
"I'll take this one."
Xiao Zhou said with a bright smile, "Okay! Please wait a moment, I'll go and issue the invoice."
"Wait a minute," Lin Yuan called out to her.
"I also need to buy some potions to replenish my source energy. Can you recommend a few?"
......
Xiao Zhou's pen flew across the receipt, and his smile stretched almost to his ears.
Every time Lin Yuan called out a number, her eyes would crinkle a little more.
When the final accounts were tallied—one million for Purple Lightning, two bottles of Rejuvenation Pills for two hundred thousand, ten Bone Tempering Pills for three hundred thousand, two bottles of Healing Spray for sixteen thousand, and five packs of Beast Repelling Powder for twenty-five thousand.
The total is 1,541,000.
Lin Yuan handed over the bank card without any emotional reaction.
With 1.54 million, plus the miscellaneous items I bought before, I still have nearly 4 million left in the account.
Shen Man's advance of five million yuan was indeed not for nothing.
The training cost for an S-level new student is this much, just the initial investment alone.
Xiao Zhou held the bank card in both hands, swiped it on the POS machine, returned the receipt and card to him, and then bent down to take out a delicate little box from under the counter.
"Spend over 1.5 million and receive a market VIP card, which will give you a 5% discount on future purchases." She handed over the box, inside which lay a silver card.
Lin Yuan took the box and casually stuffed it into his pocket.
He put the Rejuvenation Pill, Bone Tempering Pill, Healing Spray, and Beast Repellent Powder into his storage bag, and then picked up the Purple Lightning.
He walked out of the market gate, gun in hand.
The sun is shining brightly outside.
The sky in Hangzhou is bluer than in Donghai City, and the clouds are whiter.
People came and went on the street, hovercars glided by silently, and the superhuman on the holographic GG sign was still displaying the flaming longsword.
Lin Yuan, carrying his new gun, stood on the steps at the entrance of the trading market and suddenly felt that this feeling wasn't so bad.
Ten days ago in Donghai City, he had to empty his pockets to buy an E-grade rifle, leaving him with only two digits in his pocket afterward.
Today in Hangzhou, a million yuan can be spent without batting an eye.
