Chapter 797: Shopping

Chapter 797: Shopping

2

The upper oor of the Urb region within Alfa City was known to be the place for

leisure. The massive entertainment complex spanning over a hundred miles

with a myriad of establishments was renowned to be the best place to visit if

one wanted a vacation.

In order to go to the main district, where many famous shops were located,

they had to head to the middle oor.

Emery and Silva took another ride via the vehicle towards the mountain area

and entered one of the caves. There, they had to go through another round of

security check, where their vehicle was scanned thoroughly, before being

allowed to pass through and arrive at a completely dierent place.

Emery could only describe it as dazzling, to say the least. It was as if living in a

city at night, which had a sky full of twinkling and glittering stars shining over

them. A huge city with hundreds of towering buildings that almost reach the

sky and emitted millions of colorful lights.

Thousands of vehicles similar to the one they were traveling in were seen ying

around the place in a hurry. Under Silva's direction, the magus driving vehicle

took them to one of the big domes located in the center of this place.

After landing, just like before, two of the magus stayed on board, while another

two accompanied Emery and Silva as they entered the place.

The small group entered through a door that automatically opened itself when

it detected something nearby. As soon as they entered, a gure swiftly

approached to welcome them.

"Welcome, Silva Ouroboros. We, the sta of Alfa stellar store, thank you for

your visit today. I am Xiana 13, and I will be your attendant for the day. Please

follow me." The gure spoke in a polite manner.

It was a young woman with long, beautiful purple hair. However, even though

she spoke and moved like a human, Emery could quickly tell from the faint

lines on her face and arms that she was actually a machine, or commonly

known as an android.

The two of them were led into an empty white room.

As soon as they arrived and stood in the center of the room, the room's interior

quickly changed. Hundreds, if not thousands, of holographic panels rapidly

appeared on rows.

With his spirit reading, Emery quickly knew that those panels were all virtual.

However, he was taken back when the panels felt real when he touched them. It

was as if they really existed in reality.

The attendant turned around and ashed a smile, before saying, "We, Alfa

Stellar store, have millions of diverse products available for purchase.

Esteemed guests, what can I help you with today?"

At this question, Silva turned her head and looked at Emery. "I am actually in

need of a new weapon right now, so let's start with mine. This way, you can see

and understand how all this works."

After seeing Emery nod his head, Silva returned her attention to the purple-

haired android again.

"I want to see artifacts, weapons, swords."

Emery was silent and just watched Silva do her shopping. He had no intention

of buying a sword for himself, but was very interested to see what was about to

happen. Therefore, he kept rapt attention.

The attendant smiled when she heard Silva's words and her hand began to

move in the air.

A moment later, hundreds of rows of holographic panels displaying images of

various types of items disappeared and were replaced by rows of images of

swords.

Seeing this, Silva spoke again. "Xiana, show us those of Tier 4 and Tier 5 only."

"As you wish," was the reply from the purple-haired android.

At the same time, the several rows of panels changed again. Within each panel

were still images of swords, but the descriptions and explanations contained

therein were dierent from before.

Every holographic panel that oated in Emery and Silva's left side was lled

with images of tier 4 swords. Meanwhile, their right side was more or less the

same, swarmed with hundreds of tier 5 sword images.

Tier 4 weapons were considered as the standard for rank 9 acolytes like them,

therefore it was fairly normal for Silva to ask the attendant to show a list of

them. However, Silva had also asked for tier 5 weapons, which were usually

used for those of magus level.

"I have already saved up to buy a tier 5 sword," Silva said excitedly. "I can't

wait to nally own one!"

She walked towards one of the rows of tier 5 swords and started browsing

through them, while Emery followed right behind her and saw the images of

swords on the panels.

The row that Silva was sweeping at the moment was that of [Double-edged

sword], the most commonly used sword and the one Emery usually used as

well.

Curious about how good the swords sold in here were, Emery stepped closer to

a random panel and read its contents.

[Sword of Omens]

[Long Sword - Tier 5]

[Length : 1.1 meter, Weight : 32 kilograms]

His eyes gazed past the sword's name and history, such as its forger and origin,

the materials used, and so on. In the end, his gaze landed on the bottom part of

the panel where the price of the sword was stated and Emery was quickly

stunned.

[280.000 spirit stones]

The sword was expensive, so expensive he might not want to buy it even if he

did not have to pay for his extremely specialized gene booster serum.

Currently, Emery only had 5 red stones that were worth 50,000 spirit stones.

This amount of money was barely enough to buy him a tier 4 sword, let alone a

tier 5. With this realization in mind, Emery could only take his eyes o the tier

5 sword and catch up to Silva.

"Emery, what do you think of this one?" Silva asked as Emery stopped right

behind her.

He turned to the one she asked and read the description. "It looks good, I

guess."

[Qulta Blade]

[Long Sword - Tier 5]

[Length : 1.2 meter, Weight : 18 kilograms]

The sword that Silva chose was a sword with a forest green blade and silver hilt

with the guard that emitted a gleam. Silva touched the panel, "I want to test it."

The purple-haired android nodded her head. Suddenly the room turned into an

arena, while metal puppets began to appear one after another.

Emery was surprised when he saw that the sword Silva had chosen appeared

right where the holographic panel had been. On the other hand, the white-

haired girl calmly grabbed the sword, as if she had expected it.

Silva quickly drew the sword from its scabbard and began to perform several

attacks on the metal puppets, which easily shattered under the assault of her

swordsmanship.

It was an amazing feat, but the words that came out of her mouth said

otherwise.

"It's a bit too long for me." Silva said as she shook her hand and sheathed the

sword back. "It doesn't really match with my sword style."

This continued for several minutes, until she nally found something that

really caught her eyes. It was a pearly white sword, attached next to a pitch

black one. The girl was really fond of it.

[Gentle Sword]

[Long Sword - Tier 5]

[Length : 1.1 meter, Weight : 18 kilograms]

[Savage Blade]

[Long Sword - Tier 5]

[Length : 1.1 meter, Weight : 31 kilograms]

The detailed information explained that the two swords had been made by the

same master blacksmith and they had been created as a pair.

"Emery, let's test this with me," Silva said as she grabbed the dark sword and

threw it at him.
