36. Expensive Equipment

"Luckily my contract allows my first

purchase to ignore the contribution rank

restriction" Han Sen felt his heart

pounding rapidly. It couldn't be helped;

this was 100 million Chinese dollars!

Buying Zhang Hao Bai's line of villas would

be easy.

Furthermore, Han Sen's family was always

poor. One could imagine how he felt to use

100 million all up at once!

"Thankfully this isn't my money" Han Sen

grinned.

The scroll purchasing was a success.

Next.... buying weapons, battle uniform,

etc.

"I have a principal of 20 million. I'll try to

save where I can" Han Sen opened the list

of weapons and quickly found the 2nd

series 'Ghost Blade'.

Ghost blade 2nd series, Model A1--Price:

100 thousand Chinese dollars (full price),

50 thousand Chinese dollars (half price requirement: 1 star contribution rank)

Ghost blade 2nd series, Model A2--Price:

500 thousand Chinese dollars (full price),

250 thousand Chinese dollars (half price

requirement: 1 star contribution rank)

...

...2nd series, Model A5--Price: 6

million Chinese dollars (full price), 3

million Chinese dollars (half price

requirement: 1 star contribution rank)

...

Han Sen looked carefully at the models'

descriptions and couldn't help but to

frown, "My strength rises at a rapid rate

now. I'm sure that my body fitness level

will rise to the border of an advanced level

warrior soon. Since I'm buying a weapon, I

should try to buy a good one"

If it was a regular intermediate level

warrior...

He can just purchase either the A2 or A3

model. You only have to donate 10

thousand dollars to get one contribution point!

The so called one contribution point is to

differentiate between the fighters from

your own Dojo and those from outside.

The Dojo of Limits owns an internal

network--Home of Limits' 'Internet

Market', but they also have an actual

fighter market. Fighters outside of the dojo

can buy their goods too, but they must pay

the full price!

"With my rate of growth, I'll have to buy at

least an A5 or A6 model ghost blade"

nodded Han Sen, "But these models

require a one star contribution rank!"

"A one star rank is 10 thousand

contribution points!"

His first purchase ignored the contribution

rank restriction and he managed to buy

the scroll with the best price. However,

this kind of offer only lasted for his first

scroll purchase.

His weapons, battle uniform, etc. won't

have these kinds ofdeals at all.

"Ghost blade model A6's full price is 20

million. Model A5's full price is 6 million"

Han Sen shook his head. The A5 model

can fight most of the 'medium-level

commander' monsters without worrying

about the weapon breaking. The A6 model

weapon can fight most of the 'high-level

commander' monsters without worrying

about the weapon breaking.

With his current rate of growth, an earlier

model weapon is clearly not suitable.

"Buy them at full price? Too expensive" Han Sen shook his head.

"Let's check the shields"

Han Sen opened up the webpage for the

shields and as he looked closely, he

noticed that the price of the shields were

way lower than the blades'. A B5 model

that can block a 'medium level

commander' costs 3 million Chinese

dollars at full price and 1.5 million Chinese

dollars at half price. However, the contribution rank requirement is also 1

star!

"Bag"

When living in the wilderness and fighting

with monsters, the type of bag you carry

with you is also special. First, the bag itself

needs to be high quality, and it shouldn't

hinder the fighter's movements when he

fights with monsters.

"The cheapest bag requires only one

contribution point. A better one is only 10

thousand dollars" Han Sen let out a smile.

"A tactical communications watch has

time, GPS, a phone, and many more

functions. The price is not bad too, only 10

thousand dollars" In reality, those

functions aren't worth that much money.

In the market nowadays, the phones that

cost a few hundred dollars can also make

calls, show time, and have a GPS system

built into them. The only reason it costs 10

thousand dollars is because the material

it's made out of is expensive!When fighting with a monster, their claws

might touch the watch! The watch has to

be sturdy enough to withstand a monster's

attack, so how could it be cheap?

"I already checked out the blade, shield,

watch, and bag. Now there's only one thing

left.... the battle uniform including the

boots" Han Sen already heard that the

battle uniform is the most expensive gear

on the fighter! Because not only does the

defense have to be good, but it also has to

be comfortable and not get in the way of

the fighter's dodging.

Han Sen opened it to see.....

"Holy!"

"So expensive!"

Han Sen was dumbfounded, "Even though

it's a D5 edition battle uniform that

includes bracers and boots as a set and

can deflect a medium-level commander,

the full price is 18 million Chinese dollars,

and the half price is 9 million. The D6

requires 80 million Chinese dollars for the

full price. "I knew that the battle uniforms were expensive, but I didn't know that the

5th series battle uniform is three times

more expensive than the blade of the same

series!

Now for the calculations.....

If we use the 5th series for all of

them--The entire battle uniform set is 18

million, the ghost blade is 6 million, the

shield is 3 million, so 27 million total! If he

had a one star contribution rank, then he

would only need 13.5 million.

The prices tactical communications watch

and the bag are nothing compared to the

battle uniform's!

"I still want to buy some throwing knives

that I could control with my spiritual

force! I should buy at least six or ten of

them" Han Sen opened the throwing

knives page. Throwing knives are just some

small items. They are small in size and low

in weight, so naturally they should be way

cheaper than the ghost blade.

A 5th series throwing knife is only 50 thousand Chinese dollars for the full price.

6th series, 300 thousand Chinese dollars

for the full price.

7th series, the full price is an astounding 3

million Chinese dollars, and half price is 1.5

million (requirement: 2 star contribution

rank), a full 10x increase! If you put enough

strength behind it, a 7th series throwing

knife can easily harm a low-level horde

leader monster. The difference between a

commander and a horde leader is huge,

but who knew that the weapon's prices

will have such a huge difference too.

"My spiritual force is powerful and it'll

continue to grow rapidly. I was planning on

buying a 7th series throwing knife, but one

knife is 3 million, and the half price

requirement is a 2 star contribution rank!

If I buy 5 or 6, that's already more than 10

million!"

"How can I afford this?"

"This money, isn't even enough at all" Han Sen thought that a principal of twenty

million dollars was plenty, but he realized that a fighter's equipment is absurdly

expensive.

What Han Sen didn't know, was that the

prices weren't absurd at all!

A horde leader level monster can't even be

killed by a guided missile! For a throwing

knife to be able to pierce them, one could

guess how high the quality of the knife

must be! One knife for 3 million is

reasonable.

...

When fighters spend money to buy their

equipment, they have to spend a lot.

However, they also earn a ton of money

when hunting monsters.

Sadly, Han Sen hasn't started making

money yet.

��������

At around 10 AM on the second day.

Ming-Yue sector, a stranger came to Han Sen's villa's garden.

"Mr. Han Sen , here is the scroll you purchased. Your fingerprint will be able to

open it"

Han Sen accepted the sent sealed alloyed

box and slid his finger across the top of the

alloyed box, "[BEEP!] Fingerprint test

passed" a metallic sound arose and the

alloyed box opened up. A book that was

around one cm thick was inside. There

were also two discs on the book.

"Nine stage Thunder Blade" Han Sen saw

the four words on the book.

"Mr. Han Sen, try opening it. After

confirming, please sign" said the delivery

boy as he smiled, but there was a bit of

admiration in his eye as he looked towards

Han Sen.

Nine stage Thunder Blade!

The average fighter couldn't afford this.

"Mr. Han Sen, I'm sure you're aware of the

taboos that come with your purchase?" the

delivery boy smiled, "According to the

rules, I'll say them

..... The ownership of the scroll goes to the creator of the scroll, ��Nine Stage

Thunder Blade��is copyrighted by

Thunder God��People who have

purchased it only have the right to learn it,

but not the right to teach it. You are not

allowed to copy it and sell it or teach it

privately. If someone breaks the rule, the

Dojo of Limits, the Thunder Dojo, the

Underground Alliance, and the

government will work together to hunt

them down!"

Han Sen nodded, of course he knew this

rule.

After confirming, the delivery boy left.

"Just this one scroll and two discs is worth

100 million Chinese dollars" Han Sen

stood in his garden and was amazed,

"Seems like making a scroll makes the

most money. For example, if more people

buy Thunder God's ��Nine Stage

Thunder Blade��then he earns more

money." After calculating for a bit, it's not

hard to find out how much money

Thunder God makes.However.... for Thunder God, the creator

of the 'Thunder Dojo', money probably

doesn't mean much to him.

����������

Right when Han Sen was about to enter

his home with his scroll, "Han Sen" a voice

arose.

Han Sen turned his head, and the person

who came to visit was the Dojo of Limits'

chief instructor 'Wu Tong'.

"Uncle Wu" Han Sen laughed.

"I just saw the delivery guy at

headquarters, you buy something?" Wu

Tong laughed.

"Yes" Han Sen nodded.

"��Nine Stage Thunder Blade��?" Wu

Tong looked at the four words on the

scroll in Han Sen's hands and was

shocked, "You, you actually could afford

this?" Scrolls were strictly controlled by all

the large powers on earth."The money I spent wasn't my money

anyway" Han Sen laughed and randomly

said, "However, I found out that I really

don't have enough money to spend. Blades,

battle uniforms, etc. require so much

money"

"Oh yea, Han Sen, I came here to tell you

something" chief instructor 'Wu Tong'

laughed as he said, "Not too long ago,

wasn't there a young man named Zhang

Hao Bai who offended you?"

Han Sen was startled, Zhang Hao Bai? Han Sen didn't even have a chance to get back

at him yet.

"Yea, he got someone to try and break my

arms and legs in the past" nodded Han Sen.

"Well it's like this. Zhang Hao Bai's uncle,

'Zhang Ze Hu', is a fighter from the

Thunder Dojo. He asked the chief

instructor of the Thunder Dojo here in

Yang Zhou city to help resolve this. He

wants to resolve this matter privately with

you" chief instructor 'Wu Tong' laughed, "Han Sen, aren't you low in money? This is

a big chance to earn money, you could take

advantage of this opportunity to earn a

ton!"
