Chapter 33 - 33: Custom Made Item

....

Monday.

The first day after he became a martial warrior!

When Arius woke up, he was still in a daze. After some time, the events of yesterday night flashed in his mind.

"So I'm a martial warrior now!"

Arius clenched his fist. Noticing the hidden strength in his body, he finally felt a sense of reality.

Martial warriors absorbed Spiritual Ki into their bodies and used it to cultivate. This allowed their bones, muscles, and other parts of their bodies to undergo transformations. They couldn't be compared to martial disciples at all.

But, in this martial arts era, becoming a martial warrior was just the start!

Arius got off his bed and went down to have breakfast.

"Mom, is Dad not back yet?"

Arius stuffed an egg into his mouth at the dining table as he asked Dianne curiously.

"He said that there were some problems on a project, so he will be delayed for a few days," Dianne replied as she ate her bird nest porridge.

Arius nodded. Since it was regarding the company, he didn't probe further.

After he finished breakfast, Arius drove his car to Orange No. 1 High School.

The TSI exam was getting nearer and nearer. The atmosphere in school got increasingly nervous as the days went by. The students were studying hard for a promising future.

Everyone said that the TSI exam was the turning point in life.

Many people scoffed at this remark. So what if you entered a good university after studying so hard? Wouldn't you still be working after you graduate? Wouldn't you still be earning a miserable 500$ to 1000$ salary a week?

You would live frugally and save money for ten years. Then, when you wanted to buy a house and a car, you still had to take a bank loan!

Those that earned more than a hundred thousand or a few million a year were just the minority.

All of them were star students from top universities!

How could you compare with them?

Tell me, how could you compare with them?

So, knowledge could change your life was just bullshit?

Wrong!

You would realize that if you didn't enter a university, your life would be even worse…

Elaine had come to school earlier than Arius.

In the past, Arius just felt that she was hardworking. But now, he knew that she also worked part-time outside until late at night. Yet, she still woke up earlier than most people the next day to study.

She deserved to be the star student!

In his past life, Arius was still an arrogant and frivolous young master. At his age, he would just snort at Elaine's actions.

What was the use of studying so hard?

After she graduated, the money she earned in her entire life couldn't even buy his sports car.

However, after experiencing the collapse of the Amrit family, Arius finally realized how useless he was. Without the Amrit family's backing, he was nothing.

He was extremely useless!

Thus, when he saw Elaine studying so hard, he just sighed in his heart.

Arius didn't disturb her. He sat down on his seat, took out his cell phone, and logged in to amazon…

He wanted to see if there were any specific containers to store his weapons.

Based on the performance of his system, Arius felt that he would progress more comprehensively in the future. The number of battle techniques he would learn would only increase.

He already had a battle spear and boxing gloves. There would be even more weapons as he progressed.

It wasn't possible for him to hang everything on his body when he went out, right?

Arius scrolled through amazon.

Everything could be found on amazon. Whatever you wanted, you could find it there.

He typed the keywords, and a whole bunch of similar products appeared.

However, most of them were sword sheaths, blade sheaths, and rod holders. It wasn't what Arius wanted.

After the morning self-study session ended, the first lesson of the day started. But Arius was still scrolling through amazon. He didn't have any thoughts of listening to the teacher.

Elaine couldn't bear his nonchalant attitude. She frowned, but all she did was sigh in her heart. She didn't say anything.

Suddenly, Arius's eyes lit up as his gaze landed on an item.

The seller: Weapon carrier casket?

He looked at the design. This was a rectangular casket with a vintage style.

Arius then read the introduction. This weapon carrier casket was said to be able to contain 14 kinds of weapons. There was a mechanism on top. Once you pressed it, the weapon you needed would spring up.

it looks so amazing?

He continued scrolling the listing. It was then Arius realized that the 14 kinds of weapons mainly were blades and spears, including 14 different styles and lengths. He was caught between laughter and tears.

Should I buy it or not?

Arius hesitated.

Forget it. Let me ask the seller and see if I can customize one.

This seller was called 'Master Griffin'. It was a gold crown flagship seller, and the reviews were all good.

There were custom-made items in the reviews too.

Hence, Arius decided to open the chatbox and ask the seller.

Arius: Are you there?

The seller: Yes, I'm here (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭❤~

Arius: Can you customize weapon carrier caskets here?

The seller: Weapon carrier casket?

Arius: … You don't know?

The seller: Wait for a moment. Let me check.

…

Arius was a little speechless. This person didn't even know what he was selling in his shop. Was he reliable?

After some time, the other party's reply finally came.

The seller: Dear, are you there?

The stall owner: I've checked for you. So this is what you meant by weapon carrier casket.

The person attached a picture with the message. It showed a wooden casket covered in dust in the corner of a warehouse.

Arius finally realized why this person couldn't remember this item.

He asked curiously: How long has it been since you took this item out?

The seller: replied awkwardly: Hahaha, there's no need to care about the details. This weapon carrier casket was created by my grandfather in a moment of inspiration. No one wanted to buy it for a long time, so it was kept in the warehouse. I didn't expect someone to ask about it after so many years.

Arius: May I know how many years of history this item has?

The seller: Not a lot. Only ten years!

Ouch! Arius felt his teeth hurting. He continued: Alright, can you help me ask your grandfather if he could customize one for me based on my requirements?

The seller: … I'm afraid not.

??

Arius asked: Why not?

The seller I don't want to be on the same side as my grandfather so soon ⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄

Arius felt a little helpless as he replied: I'm sorry

Arius: Forget it then

Just as he was about to go offline, the other party sent him a message hurriedly.

The seller: Wait!

He continued: If you're fine with it, you can tell me your thoughts. I'll see if I can make some customizations on top of this weapon carrier casket. If I can sell this away, I'm sure that my grandfather will be happy.

Arius felt invigorated. "So it can be done!"

Well, let's make a Hail Mary effort!

He explained his ideas to the other person.

The other side remained silent for a long while before replying: Are you collecting weapon carrier caskets?

Arius replied: You can say so.

The seller: Alright, I will try my best. I will inform you once I finish the alterations.

Arius: What about the price?

Arius noticed that the other party was in a hurry to go offline to start his research on how to modify the weapon carrier casket without even talking about the price. He began to have a faint idea of this person's personality…

This must be an idiot!

The seller: Oh, right. I forgot about that o(╯□╰)o

He thought for a moment before continuing.

The seller: Since no one wants this, you can simply give me around 12 to 15 thousand dollars for my labor fee.

Arius: Alright, as long as I'm satisfied with the product, I will buy it for 15 thousand.

Arius didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

Those rune weapons cost 30,000 and even 150,000. This weapon carrier casket was just 15 thousand. It wasn't hard to accept the price.

Also, he had many requirements, so he needed them to be custom-made. It was understandable that the fee was a little higher.
