Chapter 1385 Big Purchase
"Uh, it's a bit expensive. This, and this."
Even if Lu, who has become a rule-level person, has given up his political work, he still has endless things to do.
But first and foremost, he still has to shop, and he has to go and see the goods in person. He is a life system, a precious and expensive "logistics profession".
The characteristics of this type of profession are that the growth cycle is extremely long and the consumption is huge. Once it grows up, it also requires huge amounts of funds and resources to carry out "combat power production" and bring its own "products", "weapons" and "legion" to the level of its own rank.
To put it bluntly, if a tree man like Liu Zibei is really promoted to a gold-level gardener, it is impossible for it to use silver-level tree men as its main force, and its killer weapon will not be the blood vine that is suspected to be gold-level.
Every "reproduction" is a qualitative improvement for production-oriented professionals. They may not be able to defeat lower-level combat professionals before completing the production, but after completing the equipment change, if they are inclined to the battlefield, they may not have any problem defeating three combat professionals of the same level.
Does it seem to vaguely reveal some occupational discrimination and distinction? There are indeed some very realistic things here. The growth of logistics-oriented jobs such as doctors, gardeners, and animal tamers is slow and the consumption is huge, but once they really rise, they are more popular than ordinary combat jobs, and the upper limit is much higher.
Not to mention the distant past, just take Fang Wen back then. Apart from that big robot, there were three members in her mechanical guard army who were no weaker than professionals of the same level. The long growth cycle of "logistics" would also bring about a combat power ceiling far beyond the level.
"These pieces are very nice, so I don't want any of them. I'll buy all the other pieces in this warehouse. Give me a discount."
However, it does cost money, especially for someone like Lu, who can turn the environment, weapons, trained animals and even his own kind into his own combat power. With the courtyard, his "ammunition capacity" is quite considerable, and just filling up his arsenal would cost an astronomical amount.
How to make the battlefield environment always lean towards you? In addition to the conventional operation of "starting a battle in your own advantageous area", someone like Lu can directly purchase an ecosystem and carry it with him. This is not his patent. In fact, many gardeners above the rule level play this way.
Therefore, it is too expensive. Many seventh-level gardeners need several years or even decades to own a "legion" that suits their status.
".Okay, where do you want it delivered to?"
"No, I'll take it away directly."
Mr. Lu’s way of picking up the goods was simple and direct. With a wave of his sleeves, most of the warehouse was empty.
At this point, the matters in the courtyard were semi-public secrets, and there was no need for him to hide them.
"Are there any materials for the Abyss?"
"Yes, yes. Let me check. They are all in warehouses A31 to A37. I'll take you there right away!"
Perhaps this receptionist rarely sees such wealthy customers who move things from one warehouse to another.
".It would be best if there were some related to Abyss Lords and Dragon Bone."
If he really wants to upgrade his weapons, Lu Ping'an has too much to do. He can only make a list, prioritize, and take it slowly.
The first thing, of course, is to upgrade his main weapon, the "Small Slash (Beheading Blade)".
According to it itself, it was quite clean and its previous owner died completely, and it, as its life weapon, was also half-destroyed. In a sense, it was re-cultivated by Lu Ping'an.
At least from the brain that kept shouting "blood sacrifice" and "go somewhere and kill something" all day long, Lu Ping'an didn't think it would lie.
"Do you have the spine of the Abyss Lord? It would be best if it has some soul-related material."
The Abyss Beheading Sword is considered the oldest and most orthodox weapon. Its forging material is "demon bone", and the best quality is obviously the spine of the Abyss Lord himself. Even if it has the ability to regenerate, it is a long and painful bone-pulling process.
It can be said that a high-quality Abyss Beheading Sword is the other half of the Abyss Lord. This is the reason why Lu Ping'an favored this weapon so much in the beginning. Its growth potential is so exciting, and it has the characteristics of a "living weapon" such as bloodthirsty and soul-devouring from the beginning. Under the influence of Lu Ping'an's "life-enhancing" ability, the small sword that already possesses life characteristics is the one that benefits the most.
“The strength of the gold median is actually enough, but it can be more complete and have a higher upper limit”
The beheading sword, which was originally of lower gold rank, had been specifically trained to the middle gold rank when it was in a life-and-death battle with Eve.
But Lu Ping'an directly purchased a large amount of abyss materials, especially the bones of the Abyss Lord, in order to accelerate the abyssization process.
".Abyssal weapons, living weapons, the more autonomous they are, maybe that's a good thing for me."
Normal professionals would try their best to avoid the "self-awareness awakening" and "characterization" of weapons, because that would be quite dangerous. But for Lu Ping'an, the more spiritual the weapon is, the easier it is to become a "living weapon."
In fact, Lu Ping'an had seen living weapons a long time ago. There were quite a lot of living weapons and living armors in the Knight's Secret Realm. Now Lu Ping'an was making the weapons, including the Abyss Beheading Blade, more "primitive". If he could use "loss of control" to exchange for "power gain", it would be a big profit for him.
If they were more like an independent creature, Lu Ping'an's army would naturally become more powerful.
"I want a set of boots, and at least one boxing glove, claw glove, or something like that."
And it wasn't just Lu Ping'an who placed the order. Just the "dance shoes" and "gloves" that Chris requested were enough to make Lu Ping'an's scalp tingle.
The reason is actually quite simple. Chris's "remote control body" is now at least of the gold level, and its explosive power is even stronger. The weapons and equipment that can satisfy her are also of high level.
Even if you can't get equipment above the rule level, you must at least have quasi-pollution weapons of the same level.
"Can't you use your physical body?"
"You're stupid. Who uses fists when you have weapons? You didn't fit before, and now I'm working for you, and you won't even help me prepare the tools?"
Lu Ping'an sighed helplessly and added another set of "boots" to the list. Chris's full-strength fighting skills require claws on both the front and rear limbs. Given that her current body cannot be perfectly transformed into a beast (cannot reach the strength of the past), a set of "blade boots" seems to be necessary.
And it's not just Chris who has needs on the list. Most of the other rule-level companions are now "karate". The weapons and equipment they use are not as strong as their level. Just as Big Cat said, who would be willing to fight hand-to-hand when there are good weapons? Wouldn't it hurt to be cut?
Even Hua Xueyi, who was covered in swords and knives, applied for a weapon. When she reached the rule level, her defense was actually not that good. If she really had to fight with a bayonet with her physical body, she would be in pain and even die.
Since they are all Lu's employees now, it is reasonable to prepare a handy weapon for them. It is better to buy a large amount now, but...
".Hey, Xue En, why didn't you apply? Even that girl Maomao took the opportunity to order a set of javelins."
"You're welcome. Good weapons are expensive. I can't bear to throw them away."
Lu Ping'an paused for a moment and did not ask the stupid question "Can it be saved?"
".I'll give you a long-term meal ticket. Or life points. I can't let you suffer alone."
Since he had done it, Lu Ping'an might as well do it to the end. Since he had the ability to mass-produce powerful weapons and the core backbones were indeed lacking in weapons, he simply purchased a large amount of materials and prepared to get on board and slowly "forge the iron".
On average, each rule-level player has at least one main weapon or piece of armor. This expense is really not low. If Lu hadn't made a lot of money from investment recently, it would have been difficult to sustain.
A large amount of money and credit points were spent, and eventually they were exchanged for various templates and materials in the Wanjing Market. Some of them would be formed during the journey of the Ship of God, while others would become battlefield weapons that "adapt to the environment" in Mercury 42.
Finally, after completing this necessary work, while the new round of God's Ship brought back the latest news from the Mercury 42 battlefield, Lu Ping'an's team also began their journey to a foreign land.
But this time, compared with the hesitation and uneasiness when returning, the travelers were full of confidence and satisfaction, and in all aspects, they could be said to have returned with a full load.
