Chapter 54 – Procurement

As Su Li walked through the technological corridor, he saw another guide at the end.

This is the first floor of the hall. Su Li turned back in surprise and found that the guide in front of him looked exactly the same as the one behind him.

Moreover, Su Li remembered that when he came, he seemed to have seen another guide who was responsible for receiving other guests and looked the same.

"Who is this..."

Su Li wanted to ask.

The front desk guide smiled and said, "Sir, we are the same person."

He immediately thought of Hooke Beterilla, the lord of the land.

The Fourteenth High Priest of the True Spirit Church, doesn't he have multiple clones?

Seeing Su Li's helpless look, the priest who had been chatting with Su Li all the way smiled and said to Su Li, "She is Miles, my twin sister."

"The one outside just now..."

"That's Aelia. We are quintuplets, specializing in the reception duties of the church."

Quintuplets...

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, after staying in the extraordinary world for a long time, Su Li even forgot about the possibility of having multiple siblings.

"Well... alright. What was I going to do? Right, I need to buy equipment." Su Li quickly said.

Miles seemed a bit mischievous. Seeing Su Li's embarrassment, she smiled, revealing two dimples, and bowed, saying, "This way, please."

Taking the cable elevator to the second floor, an old man with a pipe in his mouth and a meticulously combed vest was reading a newspaper.

Miles respectfully said, "Mr. Koensth, a distinguished guest is here to buy equipment."

The old man raised his head and saw Su Li. He politely pointed to the sofa opposite and said, "Please have a seat. Can you show me your VIP card?"

Miles asked softly on the side, "Sir, would you like coffee or tea?"

Su Li pushed the card flat on the table and said calmly, "Tea, thank you."

Seeing Miles turning around to prepare tea and desserts, Koensth put on his monocle and carefully examined the steam church VIP card that belonged to Su Li.

The gears on the card slowly turned, and the monocle on the old man's eye lit up with a red light.

Soon, the God's envoy known as Koensth nodded solemnly and handed the card back to Su Li, saying, "Not bad, this is indeed the VIP card issued by Ackman Hoynes. May I ask what weapon you would like to purchase?"

Su Li looked up at the many weapons displayed on the second floor, which made him a little dizzy. He asked, "Respected elder, do you have any good recommendations?"

Koensth glanced at Su Li, seemingly delighted by the other party's intelligence. He took a puff of his pipe, then smiled and said, "No problem, young VIP. You have a good eye. It seems that the card issued by Ackman Hoynes is quite valuable."

"If it's convenient, please introduce your extraordinary path and combat style, or rather, what requirements do you have for weapons."

Su Li didn't hesitate and said, "I am an extraordinary of the Night Path Sequence 8. I am good at close combat, like playing with guns, and I have great strength."

Hearing Su Li's words, the old man pondered while looking at the mechanical masterpieces hanging on the four walls around him.

He continued to introduce, "Currently, I have three main sealed items: the Ghost Revolver with penetrating power, the Fang Sniper Rifle for sniping, and an extraordinary blade that can change its length."

Hearing the detailed introduction, Koensth nodded, "Both long-range and close combat are no problem. The Night Path has night vision ability. Your current weakness should be the lack of control-type sealed items, which cannot unleash powerful combat power at medium range."

"Furthermore, you may also lack the ability to interrupt enemy incantations and curses. Your weakness lies in the spiritual aspect."

Koensth's analysis was quite accurate. Based on Su Li's simple introduction, he accurately judged the shortcomings he had previously lacked.

"This item may be suitable for you."

The old man picked up a weapon record book from behind the counter.

He accurately flipped to page forty-seven.

It was a piece of equipment that looked like a medieval helmet.

Different from the helmets Su Li had seen before, this equipment was more like a hedgehog headgear covered with steel needles.

Paired with this helmet was a slender arrowhead with a red crystal.

"It's called the Mind Helmet, a conceptual product jointly created by the Steam and Mechanical Church and the Knowledge and Wisdom Church."

The old man pointed his long and thick finger at the introduction in the record book and said, "Don't underestimate this Fire Meteor Arrow. It can make sharp turns, accelerate, and penetrate within a hundred meters through mental power."

"Wearing this helmet, the Fire Meteor will become a free arrow, freely shuttling on the battlefield, harvesting the lives of enemies at will."

"Its price is... 1600 pounds!"

Hearing the excited and tempting tone of Koensth, Su Li also felt tempted.

He could imagine the scene of him wearing this helmet, with the red crystal arrow embedded in it, freely shuttling through the air, harvesting one enemy after another.

Unfortunately, he already had the Golden Roulette, which was more powerful than this conceptual product.

Su Li asked, "How long can this weapon be used in combat?"

The old man awkwardly touched his nose but still answered truthfully, "If used by an ordinary person, it should be able to control the small arrow for 9 to 15 seconds. As an extraordinary, this time can be extended. Of course, if it is someone who is good at controlling mental power, as long as their spirituality is abundant, it can be used on the battlefield until mental power is exhausted."

Perhaps because the control time was too short and the energy consumption was too high, Koensth added, "The material of this arrow is quite tough, mixed with mithril, iron crystal, and other metals. It took 271 complex processes just to engrave the inscription. The arrowhead also uses a red star crystal with a texture comparable to a diamond, and it has a strong ability to break curses."

Su Li pondered for a moment. This small arrow reflecting a metallic sheen was of no use to him, but it seemed like a good choice to give it to his disciple, Agus.

"How practical is it? Does anyone in our Steam Church have this kind of equipment?"

Upon hearing Su Li's question, Koensth gave an awkward smile.

"That's why it's called a concept product. If you buy it, it will belong to you alone."

……

In other words, its practicality was not strong at all.

"Can I just buy this small arrow?"

Su Li asked.

Koensth hesitated for a moment. He had spent countless resources designing this weapon, only for it to end up on display in a showcase.

Now that there was a VIP-level person wanting to buy it, it indirectly confirmed the usefulness of his invention!

"You can't use it without wearing the helmet, but as a VIP of our Steam Church, there's no reason not to sell this item to you. I'll only charge you the cost price of 500 pounds."

It wasn't that Koensth wanted to rip off Su Li. In a sense, this equipment really had good combat capabilities.

Unfortunately, to use it, one must concentrate, which was a big taboo on the battlefield.

Su Li shook his head and said:

"One price, 200 pounds!"

Koensth was clearly struggling internally. He asked:

"If you can control it without using the helmet, I'll sell it to you for 100 pounds. Otherwise, no deal."

Su Li's eyes lit up. This was a good deal. He said with a smile:

"Let's give it a try!"
