Chapter 91: Let's Buy Some Arrows!

Miles returned to the Marooners room after meeting with Quinn and Lucy.

When will you use the mind serum? Coin asked. He was silent during the meeting, but now since they were alone, he talked freely.

I will use it soon. I would rather take the serum in my apartment, but I am sure Mother will not allow it. I am also afraid I may reveal something if I were to take it in her presence. Miles said. He had some secrets he wanted to protect, and may not be able to do so while under the influence of Mind Serum.

There is also the super bomb Tian Ling just acquired. Since he dared to explode my door last time, he may try again. I doubt he will waste 370 Million worth of bombs just to enter my room. Especially after he failed and alerted me last time, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Miles didnt want to leave any of his secrets in his room anymore.

After his room door was blasted by Tian Ling and his goons, Miles did not feel rooms were as safe as he initially thought. Even the military only, top floor. Thus, the little stone he purchased was not safe even if it was stored in the safe he rented under his alter identity. Even though his identity was foolproof, he couldnt rule out the possibility of people targeting the Marooner and attacking his room. Even when nobody knew Ezio was the Marooner.

Even the little stone he bought from the vendor was hanging on his neck all the time. Miles didnt know if it had any value on it or not, but he wouldnt want to give it away without trying to reveal its mysteries. Whether he was speaking the truth or not, MIles was not sure but the vendor said it was acquired from the treasure room of the pyramid.

Not many people knew, but the place was also very close to the location of the first portal that was opened to Earth. Miles didnt waste too much time thinking over it, he just felt there might be a connection between the two, although unlikely. After all, Coin felt something from the stone, and it surely wasn't a regular piece of rock.

Miles felt the rock on his chest giving him some sense of comfort. He didnt know if it was just an illusory feeling caused by a false sense of security or whether it was something caused by the rock.

Miles wasnt surprised to see many different arrows and bullets made of thousands of different alloys. Since they were able to produce the most expensive arrow on the site, other weaker arrows should be much easier to produce. Miles filtered them immediately and found the arrows he needed in no time.

1 million UD for one arrow, too expensive. Miles sighed as he looked at the arrows. Oh, all the elements are the same price. Miles looked at the different colored arrows and wondered. The regular low-tier monster cores sold for 10k only, and depending on their elements they could go all the way to the 50k UD when sold.

Mid-tier could be sold from 50k to 200k, high-tier from 200k to 500k and pinnacle-tier cores from 500k to 2 millions depending on the elements. But the producer of the arrows was ignoring the expenses and selling them at the same price. He wasnt intending to earn from them at all.

As of now, I can only buy 25 arrows, but it will dry my funds. I still have to compensate for Xavic and Zall. I promised to buy Zall a shield, which should cost me more than what I have now. I might even sell one or two orbs for this, but the mask and shield was worth it. I will also get my first salary soon. Miles pondered out loud. He decided to buy 20 arrows since he could afford them.

Miles looked at the elements of the arrows and decided which ones he should buy. Unlike Monster Orbs dropped from monsters, those created from regular cores were a tad bit weaker. For example, a high-tier orn can injure most of the high-tier monsters, but an arrow created by a high-tier monster core couldnt injure high-tier monsters if not hit on soft tissues. Also, orbs can heal themselves and can turn into their orb forms. That is why they are much more expensive.

Miles decided to buy 10 poison elements and 10 piercing elements since their prices were all the same. Elemental arrows weren't very strong when created by orbs. They could hardly cause extra elemental damage. So, Miles decided to use his bodily strength and some extra effect with a piercing arrow. Poison Arrows were for humans because most monsters wouldnt be affected by minute amounts of poison in the arrows.

He then finalized his orders and requested them to be sent to where he was now. With the technology developed to this extent, shipping got a lot easier. Soon, a drone loaded with arrows dropped by at the speed of sound as it traveled to where Miles was.

He received the package in a short thirty minutes and checked its interior. After making sure all was fine, he paid through the drone's interface, and then the drone left.
