Chapter 27 Acquisition of Space Equipment

"Why don't you come in and take a look to see if this room suits you."

"Okay." Hearing Kane's suggestion, Kreya nodded but still glanced at Yoyo from time to time.

Once inside, she began wandering around the room.

The largest piece in the room was the large round mat near the window, covered with a blanket and a neatly folded quilt.

Kreya walked over to check it out, nodding with great satisfaction.

It seems that this bed greatly pleases her; after all, the hardest thing for centaurs is finding inns with beds specifically made for them.

Other room facilities are generally not much different from those for humans, at most slightly inconvenient.

But the bed is crucial.

Kane also studied the room for a while, realizing that many things are quite different from what humans use.

The subtle differences in living among other races intrigued him.

"Did you not bring any luggage, Kreya?" Kane asked, noticing that she had nothing besides her armor.

Kreya didn't answer but instead showed him.

Her hand directly penetrated the void, pulling out a large bag of luggage from it.

Ah, it's space equipment, my apologies, I didn't know.

"I hate carrying lots of bags around everywhere, so I got a piece of magic equipment from my family." She started tirelessly pulling out bags of luggage from the space.

So much space equipment?

I really want one too.

As he watched her busily organizing her luggage, Kane said to Yoyo, "Go help Kreya, Yoyo."

"Alright, master."

Since it's a girl's belongings, Kane wisely refrained from meddling.

Seeing Yoyo coming to help, Kreya was overjoyed.

She mouthed a thank you towards Kane's direction.

Watching them hustling around, he could only sit idly and knead some clay.

With Yoyo's help, Kreya quickly organized her items.

She smiled and nodded at Kane, saying, "Thank you so much, Kane. It's great to have a teammate like you."

"Is that so? I think so too." Kane showed no sign of modesty.

Kreya laughed, covering her mouth, "You're quite amusing. We'll be teammates from now on; would you like to see my skills?"

"Is it alright to speak so casually about these things?" Kane was puzzled by Kreya's straightforwardness.

"No problem," she said, patting her helmet and donning it. "My skills are pretty predictable with obvious traits."

Then, she began to glow.

Wait a minute, this effect is kind of odd.

You're not going to transform, are you?

The light enveloping Kreya made Kane comment this way.

It looked so much like the transformation scene with holy light effects from anime he watched in his previous life.

"Casual wear."

It really is a transformation, what's going on in this world?

A Frankenstein, perhaps?

Though Kane was mentally ranting, he couldn't help but marvel at Kreya's transformation.

Who added the holy light?

"What are you talking about, master?" Yoyo asked, puzzled.

"Nothing."

Kreya's armor vanished, replaced by an off-white dress reaching below her horse legs.

He glanced at her upper body, finding it indeed bound by the armor, now revealed to be significantly larger.

Kreya came over. "How do you like my skills? Cool, huh?"

"They really are cool," Kane admired.

A childhood dream.

"Let's go; Burton might have finished preparing," Kreya said.

With that, Kane got up and left.

Arriving at the hall, the tavern was noticeably more crowded.

Kane and the others found a spot in the corner.

Now he was curious to see how Kreya sat.

She moved the chair aside, pulled out a blanket from her space equipment, spread it on the floor, and lay her horse body on it while her human torso was perfectly aligned with the table.

Oh, that's how it's done.

Soon, the tavern's waiter came over carrying a large platter.

This muscular giant of a man was the tavern's waiter; Kane hadn't heard him speak in the few days he'd been here.

The huge tray occupied the entire table and shook it upon being placed down.

Why so much food? Can two people finish it, or was Burton happy and made extra?

But Kane soon realized why.

He had eaten roughly a quarter while Kreya finished hers, looking somewhat unsatisfied.

On second thought, it made sense; with both human and horse weight measured in tons, maintaining such a physique requires a substantial diet.

Kane planned to buy a piece of space equipment, initially intending to do so in a few days, but seeing Kreya's today made him want it sooner.

"I plan to buy some space equipment later, wanna join?" Kane asked as Kreya finished eating.

Kreya wiped her mouth. "Of course, I'll come along. I have a bit of insight into space equipment and can help ensure quality."

Finding out Kreya had knowledge of space equipment made Kane glad; he could avoid potential pitfalls.

After a while, Kane brought Kreya to the magic shop he had discovered while wandering earlier.

They pushed open the Radiant Diamonds' shop door and entered.

Upon entering, the shopkeeper greeted them.

This rotund mage in a simple magic robe had a kindly smile.

He beamed, "What might you guests be looking for?"

Kane returned his smile and said, "I'm looking for some space equipment. Do you have it here?"

"Of course, this is Radiant Diamonds. We have every kind of magic equipment, even colorful ones if you want."

The shopkeeper's face showed undeniable pride as he spoke.

Kreya explained quietly to Kane, "Radiant Diamonds is the world's largest magic equipment store, with branches everywhere."

Understood, a world-class enterprise.

He led Kane to a counter and said, "Here is the space equipment currently available in our shop."

"What's your acceptable price range? That will help me recommend something."

"Around 5,000 gold."

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "In the 5,000 gold range, the equipment's volume is 2x2x2, with price fluctuations affecting the wearing location."

"So, which part of the equipment would you like, sir?"

"A necklace."

If space equipment is worn on rings or wrists, it would affect Kane's release and manipulation of spider silk.

And mist-exploding magic accessories mostly consist of illusion equipment which doesn't require wearing to work, but sharing spots counts as equipped.

The shopkeeper turned to retrieve two trays from the counter, each holding necklaces of identical style, differing only in gemstone color, one green and one black.

Kane didn't favor green, opting for the black one.

"How much is this one?"

"5,500 gold, sir."

Kreya walked over, took the necklace from Kane's hand.

She examined it closely.

Fixing her gaze on the shopkeeper, she said, "Ordinary necklace style, except for the central gemstone; it's simply silver-made, Karachi's alchemy style, a plain piece."

The more Kreya spoke, the sweatier the shopkeeper became, realizing he had met an expert.

He hurriedly interrupted, "Haha, didn't expect you to be a connoisseur, ma'am. How about 4,500 gold, consider it making a friend?"

Kreya thought for a bit and nodded, "Alright, let you earn a little."

Then she nodded towards Kane.

Understanding, Kane took out four mist coins along with 500 regular gold coins from his pouch.

Kreya suddenly remarked, "Four mist coins will suffice."

I see, the actual market exchange rate for mist coins is approximately 1:1100.
