As long as the array room was open, students could enter and exit freely with their student IDs.
The moment the showroom opened, Zhou Wen swiped his student ID and entered.
There weren't many students here usually, and it was too early now. When Zhou Wen entered the showroom, the staff were still tidying it up. There wasn't a single student.
Since he was already here, Zhou Wen wasn't in a hurry to look at the sabers. He looked at the first item on display.
What was displayed here were the Essence Gold weapons produced by humans after the dimensional storms. However, most of them were imitations. They were just for show.
Sabers were mainstream, followed by spears and bows. Swords and others weren't mainstream. There were also shields and armor made of Essence Gold, but there were very few of them because the effects weren't very good.
Then there were all sorts of Essence Gold bullets and firearms. Most bullets were gold-plated or mixed with a certain amount of Essence Gold. Pure Essence Gold bullets were relatively rare. Typically, only high-ranking officers would be equipped with them.
Rocket launchers and artillery shells were also made of Essence Gold, but they could only be used against large groups of dimensional creatures. Therefore, they weren't suitable for ordinary battles.
Most of them were used to repel large-scale dimensional creature tides or deal with immobile plant-type dimensional creatures.
There were even more types of sabers. There were small sabers that were only the length of a palm, and large sabers with long handles. It left Zhou Wen dazzled, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was just a tool. There wasn't much difference.
In terms of pleasing to the eye, it wasn't as pleasing to the eye as the Bamboo Blade that Zhou Wen often used.
However, Zhou Wen had already tried. Even if he had the Bamboo Blade in mind, he couldn't advance the Essence Energy Pill.
"Is there no weapon that can make people fall in love at first sight?" Zhou Wen was somewhat helpless. He wasn't a hot-blooded person to begin with. He really couldn't value a weapon more than his life.
No matter how good a weapon was, no matter how valuable it was, Zhou Wen would definitely abandon it to save his life if his life was on the line.
"Lad, there are no weapons in this world that fall in love at first sight. There are only undying veterans," a staff member beside him said when he heard Zhou Wen muttering to himself.
Zhou Wen turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was a man in his forties. Although he was wearing sunglasses, Zhou Wen could tell that it was because he was blind in one eye and had a prosthetic leg.
"Can you elaborate on the meaning of that sentence?" Zhou Wen asked him.
The man said while wiping the weapons on the display shelf, "Actually, most people don't like weapons, but in times of danger, they need them to protect themselves and their families. Except for a small number of people who are interested in weapons, for ordinary people, weapons are just tools. "
Zhou Wen nodded. What the man said was similar to what he thought.
"But …" The man wiped a knife clean and carefully placed it on the knife holder. He straightened it and continued, "Once you pick up a weapon and fight with it, no matter if you love it or not, or how much you despise it, it will become your most important partner. This thing is more important than your women and brothers. It is the only thing you can truly trust on the battlefield."
"That's right." Zhou Wen nodded.
The man continued, "Therefore, on the battlefield, regardless of whether you like it or not, no matter how proud you are, you have to understand it and familiarize yourself with it. You have to constantly practice and get used to it. You have to put in more effort than chasing after a woman. Otherwise, it might take your life on the battlefield. If you want to live as a veteran, you have to get along with it, no matter how terrible it is. After some time, you will realize that a weapon is already a part of your body. It's not a tool that can be easily abandoned. Because without it, your body will seem to be missing a part, like a cripple. The chances of a cripple dying on the battlefield are naturally much higher than normal people. "
Zhou Wen listened to the man's words and fell into deep thought.
"Practice the saber. Why is the training before the saber? Young man, practice well. "The man patted Zhou Wen on the shoulder and continued cleaning the other side.
"Thank you. How should I address you?" Zhou Wen asked.
"I'm just a crippled veteran. I don't have a name." With that said, the man ignored Zhou Wen and continued his work.
Zhou Wen felt a little upset. War brought misfortune to most people. No one liked war, but sometimes, war was unavoidable.
He didn't continue looking at the exhibits because he knew very well that he wasn't a person who liked weapons. Therefore, no matter how he looked at it, it was impossible for him to treat a tool as his life.
Just as the veteran said, practice the saber. The training before the saber.
Zhou Wen already had an idea as he walked out of the exhibition room and prepared to return to his dorm.
Halfway there, he saw Li Xuan, Sadie, and Gulli walking in the direction of the Xuanwen Club.
"Old Zhou, what a coincidence. Where are you going?" Li Xuan came over to greet him.
When Zhou Wen saw Li Xuan, his eyes lit up. He went over and pulled Li Xuan. "Let's go. Practice with me."
"No, it's best you find someone else. My head's spinning. I can't take it anymore …" Li Xuan held his chest as though he was about to faint.
He wasn't afraid of being beaten, but he couldn't accept being beaten up by Zhou Wen until he looked like he had polio.
"Coach, what do you want to practice?" Sadie asked.
"Swordsmanship," Zhou Wen said.
"If you don't mind, I can be your sparring partner," Sadie's eyes lit up as she said to Zhou Wen.
"Alright, let's go to the training room." Zhou Wen nodded.
Sadie's actual combat ability was slightly inferior to Li Xuan's. If she really went all out, she wasn't Li Xuan's match. However, in practice, she had the Eye of Odin. Her performance in battle was better than Li Xuan's, so she was more suitable for Zhou Wen to practice with.
After all, with the Eye of Odin's ability, Sadie could crack all kinds of moves in battle. She didn't need to risk her life like Li Xuan.
The four of them went to the training room together as Sadie picked up a sword.
There were two types of swords in the North District. One was a broadsword, and the other was a narrow and thin armor-piercing sword. The two swords had their own characteristics and were used in completely different ways.
Originally, Sadie was good at armor-piercing swords. With her Eye of Odin, it was very easy for her to find the other party's weakness and deliver a fatal blow.
However, ever since she came to Sunset College to study, Sadie had learned quite a number of East District sword techniques and fused the East District sword techniques into her own sword techniques.
As she had never competed with a true East District sword expert, Sadie didn't know how good her sword techniques were. When she heard that Zhou Wen wanted to practice, she wanted to test her sword techniques.
The practice sword she chose was naturally the common armor-piercing sword in the North District. The sword was slender and much narrower than the swords in the North District.
