After that, Sei Itō strolled around the weapon store for a while. Then, under the disdainful gazes of the man and woman who had bought the weapons, he turned around and walked out of the weapon store. He walked toward the equipment store diagonally opposite the weapon store.
There were more customers in the equipment store than in the weapon store. They stood in groups of twos and threes in front of the equipment and whispered in low voices.
"Welcome." As soon as Sei Itō walked into the equipment store, a female employee walked up and greeted Sei Itō with a smile.
"Tsk, it seems like the equipment store is really profitable. They even have employees." Sei Itō nodded in response to the female employee's greeting. He sized up the situation in the store and thought to himself.
Then, accompanied by the female shop assistant, he started browsing through the equipment store.
"Skintight Soft Armor. Made with special craftsmanship. Can reduce energy damage by 30% and physical damage by 50%. Price: 1.88 million."
"Boots of Wind. Made with lynx skin as raw material and enchanted by a great alchemist. Can increase the user's movement speed by 2.5%. Price: 970 million."
"Wrist Guard of Strength. Made with Meng family's tiger skin as raw material and enchanted by a great alchemist. Can increase the user's strength concentration by 1.8%. Price: 990 million."
"… …"
"… … Sure enough, it's better to produce and sell everything on your own. Buying and whatnot is too nonsensical." Sei Itō was speechless as he browsed through a dozen or so pieces of equipment.
Then, he stopped his wandering footsteps and turned around to walk out of the equipment store under the astonished gaze of the female employee accompanying him.
"Since I've already suffered a blow, I might as well just treat it as an eye-opener." Sei Itō thought to himself as he stood silently at the entrance of the equipment store for a few seconds. Then, he turned around and walked toward the store with the sign "Maria's Jewelry Store."
As soon as he walked into the store, a sea of pink entered Sei Itō's eyes. Then, three women and one man appeared in front of Sei Itō's eyes.
Sei Itō simply glanced at the four of them and ignored them. He turned his head and browsed through the various exquisite and practical jewelry displayed in the display window.
"Fire Crystal Ring, made with fire type crystals as the core, can increase the attack power of Gui type ability users by 5%, price: 1.03 million."
"Sky Sea Necklace. Made from basic energy crystals engraved with special magic arrays. Can store three equivalents of the user's mental strength. Has the ability to calm the mind and concentrate the mind. Price: 1.78 million. "
"The Guardian Ring uses a basic energy crystal as its core. It was made with a mithril ring engraved with the Level-3 Wind Barrier spell. It can withstand a full blow from a C + grade ability user. Price: 4.66 million. "
"…"
"The owner of this jewelry shop seems to have a lot of connections. Almost every piece of jewelry has some traces of magic. If she wasn't an expert in both magic and alchemy, she wouldn't be able to do it. That means she knows a magician. " Sei Itō who had also browsed through a lot of items turned his head and looked at the jewelry shop owner who looked like an ordinary old lady sitting behind the counter.
Perhaps feeling Sei Itō's gaze, the old lady raised her head and looked at Sei Itō.
"What a sharp perception." Sei Itō was secretly surprised when he saw this. He immediately retracted his gaze and continued to browse through the various jewelry in the display window.
The old lady looked at Sei Itō and didn't say anything. She once again lowered her head and went back to doing her own thing at the counter.
After browsing for a while, although Sei Itō wanted to buy, he didn't have enough USD in his bank account. He turned around and walked out of the jewelry shop. After passing by the other pharmacies, weapon shops, equipment shops, jewelry shops, and custom-made shops on both sides of the corridor, he walked into a shop called "Little Mark's Supermarket".
"Welcome." As soon as he walked into the shop, a short European man, who was only about 1.5 meters tall, greeted Ito Sei with a smile on his face.
Sei Itō nodded politely to the short man as a form of greeting. Then he turned his head and looked at the items in the shop.
"What do you want?" Maybe the short man felt a little bored, so he walked up to Sei Itō and asked.
"What are these?" Seeing the boss come up to ask, Sei Itō didn't hesitate and directly pointed to the various strange-looking items in the display window.
"Those are small props I invented." The short man walked to the display window and opened the protective window to take out the items while he said to Sei Itō. Then he took out a small spray-like bottle and turned to Sei Itō and introduced, "Like this is a spray that can get rid of your own smell."
Then he put the spray back in its original place. He took out another small bottle similar to the L 'Oreal facial cream bottle and said, "This is a face-changing cream. After applying it on your face, you can temporarily change your appearance."
Then he put it back in its original place and took out an item the size of a ping pong ball. "This is an Energy Tide Bomb. It can create a small energy tide. It can erase traces left behind during battle and reduce the possibility of being tracked by the enemy. "
Then he took out another item that was 20 centimeters long and wide. It was less than 10 centimeters thick and was a special black metal. "This is a substitute puppet I made according to the principle of liquid metal …"
In this way, the short man introduced his inventions one by one to Sei Itō as if he was showing off.
"This guy is a genius! Absolutely! " Listening to the short man, Little Mark, the shop owner, Sei Itō was shocked.
"How much does the Energy Tide Bomb, Odor Removal Spray, and Energy Disruption Force Field cost?" When Little Mark was almost done with his introduction, Sei Itō picked out three items that were more useful to him and asked.
"The Energy Tide Bomb is 200,000 USD each, the Odor Removal Spray is 30,000 USD each, and the Energy Disruption Force Field is 8,000,000 USD each," Little Mark said without hesitation.
"8,000,000?!" Sei Itō looked at Little Mark in shock and exclaimed.
"Yes," Little Mark looked at Sei Itō with an arrogant look as if he didn't care if he bought it or not.
"F * ck!" Sei Itō looked at Little Mark and cursed in his heart, "If I buy it, I'll lose two-thirds of the money in my bank account. How am I supposed to live?!"
However, when he thought about the range of the Energy Disruption Force Field, Sei Itō gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, I'll take them all!" At the same time, he said fiercely in his heart, "F * ck, after I buy it, I'll let my subordinates study it. I don't believe that with their brains, they can't crack this thing of yours!"
"How many Energy Tide Bombs do you want? How many Spray bottles do you want? "Little Mark, who was wobbling behind the counter, climbed onto his high stool and looked at Sei Itō as he asked.
"Give me five Energy Tide Bombs and three Spray bottles," Sei Itō said with a pained expression.
"Okay." Little Mark replied with a smile. Then, he squatted down and took out the items that Sei Itō had purchased from under the counter.
"Thank you, 9,090,000 USD." Little Mark said as he used a large metal suitcase to pack the five Energy Tide Bombs, three Odor Removal Spray, and a set of Energy Disruption Force Field.
Seeing this, Sei Itō's mouth twitched as he took out his bank card and handed it to Little Mark.
After receiving the bank card, Little Mark didn't hesitate as he turned around and started working on the computer. After a short while, he handed the bank card back to Sei Itō.
"It seems that the Alchemist Association has its own system for transactions. Otherwise, the transfer of nearly 10 million USD wouldn't just be done by swiping the card," Sei Itō thought as he took the bank card and glanced at the shiny computer screen.
After that, Sei Itō carried the metal suitcase in his left hand and the small freezer with the alchemy potions in his right hand. Without any hesitation, he turned around and walked out of Little Mark's supermarket. He went to the last shop that he hadn't visited yet – the Peculiar Crystal Store.
Due to the high price of Peculiar Crystals, the situation in the Peculiar Crystal Store was similar to that of a potion store. Only the owner was there and there weren't any customers.
What surprised Sei Itō was that the person in charge of the Peculiar Crystal Store wasn't a proper shop owner. Instead, it was a cute little girl who looked about 12 or 13 years old. She was wearing a red gothic dress and had her blonde hair tied into two thin ponytails on both sides of her head.
"Welcome," the little girl standing behind the counter greeted in a crisp voice.
"Hello," Sei Itō nodded in response when he saw the other party's cute appearance.
"Big Brother, do you want to buy Peculiar Crystals?" The little girl looked at Sei Itō with sparkling eyes and asked cutely. She looked as if she would cry if he didn't want to buy Peculiar Crystals.
"I made a mistake, I made a mistake. The shop owner must have an ulterior motive for putting a little girl here! Absolutely! "Sei Itō's face twitched when he saw the little girl's expression.
"Yes," Sei Itō replied while gritting his teeth.
"Oh, that's great. What kind of Peculiar Crystal does Big Brother want to buy?" After receiving Sei Itō's answer, the little girl who jumped down from behind the counter cheered and walked out of the counter. She looked at Sei Itō and asked.
"I want to buy an Ice Peculiar Crystal," Sei Itō said with the desire to save money.
"Oh." After hearing the amount Sei Itō wanted to buy, the little girl pouted and replied in a low voice. Then, she slowly walked to the side and took out an Ice Peculiar Crystal from the grid. "Here …"
"How much?" Sei Itō asked as he walked to the little girl and reached out to take the Peculiar Crystal.
"Six hundred and fifty thousand USD for one," the little girl looked at Sei Itō with an innocent face and said.
"Uh, are you sure you didn't get it wrong!?" Sei Itō looked at the little girl in shock when he heard the price that was completely different from the price of the Peculiar Crystal mentioned by the shop owner.
"Yes, that's the price my mother told me!" The little girl said with an innocent face.
"I understand. Buy it," Sei Itō said speechlessly after knowing that he had been cheated by the cute trap.
"Okay." The little girl who saw Sei Itō pay cheered and quickly ran back to the counter to complete the transaction procedures for Sei Itō.
