For Yun Que and the others, the terminal machine had selected a total of 18 upgrade paths, compromising 172 pieces of weaponry and equipnt.
But most of the equipnt was quite expensive, Ma Lu only glanced at the prices and couldn't be bothered to look at the functions, knowing he couldn't afford them anyway. He directly asked Xi Xi, who was beside him.
"Are there any cheaper ones? I've only recently beco a Knight and don't have so many atonent points on hand."
"Yes, there's this Wolf Spider's Kiss for only 370 atonent points...and this one...the Thunderblade, you can get it for 420, it's a great deal, suitable for your Witch Hellhound...and this, the Recovery Ring, a bit pricier at 490 points, but also very useful."
"Isn't there anything even cheaper? Don't you guys have any promotions or trial products available for testing?" Ma Lu said.
"Promotions and trials?" Xi Xi blinked, "The Weaponry Departnt guarantees the safety and stability of every piece of weapon and equipnt we produce, and they go through rigorous testing beforehand. As for promotions, we are not a supermarket, the price has always been the sa."
"Alright, forget I asked," Ma Lu conceded.
Xi Xi pondered for a mont, "May I boldly ask how many atonent points you have on you?"
"100, from my first mission."
"This..." Xi Xi looked troubled, but she thought of a solution soon after, "Are you looking to upgrade or purchase additional equipnt?"
"Hmm, do you an I should use my old equipnt as a trade-in?" Ma Lu asked.
"Exactly, the Weaponry Departnt also recycles old equipnt," Xi Xi said, "If you have equipnt you no longer need, you can sell it to us. As long as it's functional, we will buy it back at 90% of the selling price."
Having seen his fair share of ga NPC shysters, Ma Lu felt a surge of emotions hearing this buy-back price.
Your next journey awaits at empire
For all its faults, the Church had a decent trading system in place.
So, he pointed to the black pistol on Yun Que's terminal entry and asked, "How much is this worth?"
Xi Xi leaned in for a closer look, "This is a Blast Proof Pistol, and it's a very old model, already discontinued. However, the terminal should still have its historical selling price, please wait a mont while I look it up for you."
As she spoke, Xi Xi began working on the terminal machine again, and soon her expression turned to one of disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Ma Lu leaned in closer too and noticed that behind the black color of the Blast Proof Pistol, a price of 1000 atonent points was prominently displayed on the gray page.
"That's impossible!" exclaid Xi Xi, "With the performance of this gun, its value shouldn't exceed 50 atonent points.
"The Weaponry Departnt stopped making such weak weapons a long ti ago, and the old firearms were distributed to the Witch Academy for training purposes. How on earth could a training gun be so expensive!"
Ma Lu pointed to the date on the bottom right corner of the page, "What does this date an?"
"That's the date this weapon was removed from the shelves," Xi Xi leaned in as well, "Huh, Year 44 of the Sacred Calendar, I knew this gun was old, but I didn't realize it was actually an antique over a hundred years old—so this is actually the price from over a hundred years ago?"
"Hmm, with the technological level of that ti, it's indeed plausible that this was the selling price," Ma Lu mused.
"You said before that the Weaponry Departnt would buy back unwanted equipnt at 90% of the selling price, didn't you?" Ma Lu said, "Does the historical selling price count?"
"Sir Knight, please give another mont." Xi Xi then started furiously flipping through a thick 'Transactions Rule Guide' next to her, and finally found the relevant supplent clause, her face lighting up with excitent.
"It's really the case, for weapons and equipnt no longer on sale, we go by the selling price before they were discontinued. So, you are thinking of selling this piece of equipnt?"
"Yes, that's right, if you're sure to buy it back for 900 points, I'll have her bring it over," Ma Lu affird.
"There's no need for that. We have staff at the Witch Camp, I can just contact them to inspect the goods," Xi Xi replied.
"Alright."
With 1000 Atonent Points in hand, Ma Lu could finally shop properly, and he planned to first enhance Yun Que.
Now it seed that the girl's burden wasn't just due to her own lack of strength, her inadequate weapon was also a major reason. It was no wonder that a long-range shooter's DPS was even lower than a healer's.
Originally, Ma Lu had his eyes on the Wolf Spider's Kiss, priced at 370, but now he could aim a bit higher.
He browsed through the screen and finally his gaze settled on a weapon called the Chaleon Double-Barrel Shotgun.
The remark on the back stated that this shotgun was powerful and could fire two types of bullets, causing different attribute damages, and was priced at 777 Atonent Points.
Ma Lu asked Xi Xi, "Can I see the actual item?"
"Of course."
Xi Xi contacted a colleague responsible for the armory, and in less than 5 minutes, the Chaleon Double-Barrel Shotgun was brought over.
As soon as Ma Lu got it, the equipnt's attribute information appeared on the circular screen.
[Chaleon Double-Barrel Shotgun](Blue)
Attack Power 7
Attack Attributes: Electric/Earth
Attack Speed: Slow
Additional Effect: 40% chance to cause bleeding, losing 1 HP per second for 15 seconds after breaking defense, guaranteed to trigger on a critical hit. Shooting accuracy decreases by 10%.
This piece of blue gear's basic attack attribute was very impressive, with two types, it could be switched to target different enemies, serving more battle scenarios.
Of the two accompanying battle effects, bleeding was very useful as long as it was triggered after breaking defense, getting a free 15 points of damage, further enhancing output.
The decrease in accuracy was a negative effect, but it wasn't a big issue since Yun Que's passive skill was to increase accuracy, enough to offset the negative impact.
The only downside was the slow firing rate, but shooting slow was still better than not breaking defense.
After considering, Ma Lu decided to buy it.
anwhile, a ssage ca from the Witch Camp that they had completed inspection of the Blast Proof Pistol. No functional problems were found, and it was ready to be recycled.
Less than 2 minutes later, 900 Atonent Points were credited to his account. Ma Lu bought the Chaleon Double-Barrel Shotgun and was left with 223 Atonent Points, not enough to buy much else, so he decided to save them for next ti.
Ma Lu then started browsing through the mission module, planning to collect ingredients and at the sa ti earn so Atonent Points to enhance the witch.
During the week he was away, the Sacred Order of Knights had assigned him 3 long-term missions, all optional; he only needed to complete one.
But by the ti Ma Lu checked, one of the missions had already beco unavailable.
It seed soone else had taken it up mid-way, so only two remained.
[Cleaning Task]: Clear the remaining Energized Plants in the Northern Forest, rewards given according to the number killed.
[Collection Task]: Go to the Goladot Mountains, collect at least four pieces of teorite Debris, reward: 100,000 Holy Silver Coins, 1200 Atonent Points. For every additional piece of teorite Debris found, get an extra 20,000 Holy Silver Coins, 300 Atonent Points.
