Chapter 5 Purchasing Equipment

Lin Yuna withdrew but quickly returned, having prepared an incredibly detailed strategy guide for Xu Gu to level up by defeating monsters.

"Xia City is far from the Mechanical Abyss. The nearest one is still hundreds of miles away. The Steel Beasts on the outskirts of the city aren't strong, generally ranging from level 1 to 5, most being ordinary level, with few Elite Steel Beasts.

"Master, even though you're at level 1 and S-level, your attributes are robust, allowing you to solo for greater rewards. However, you might need to purchase strong equipment. The Xia City Auto Association should have transferred points to you. If it's not enough, I can sell some company shares to gather hundreds of thousands of points.

"Early investments yield the highest returns; there's no need to save."

"As for further exploration, the levels of encountered Steel Beasts will significantly increase, generally between 5 and 10, requiring teamwork, and protection from the school or the Auto Association."

Lin Yuna said slowly.

The strategy she devised was exceptionally detailed, meticulously planned, and very user-friendly. It maximized the use of all available resources to quickly elevate Xu Gu's level and strength.

It was custom-made for Xu Gu.

The strategy alone could sell for millions of Star Coins externally!

Xu Gu glanced over it and committed the contents to memory. Although a little surprised, he wasn't too shocked.

After all, besides her outstanding looks, Lin Yuna was highly capable. She was a Five Stars Car Servant selected by the Xia City Auto Association, otherwise she wouldn't qualify to lead the elite class.

However, Lin Yuna somewhat miscalculated.

He wasn't S-level!

He was SSS-level!

And he had a cheat!

Not to mention the central area requiring a team, even the outermost region of Xia City, he could solo it!

While other B-level or A-level Awakeners couldn't move an inch even in the edge areas, not even with a team!

However, this was something he naturally wouldn't disclose to her.

"Open the Creator System."

Xu Gu thought.

[Linker: Xu Gu]

[Permission Level: Level 1]

[Unlocked Features: Creation Mall, Creation Task, Creation Atlas, Creation Achievement, Creator Forum.]

...

Xu Gu connected to the Creator Forum local to Xia City, something akin to a chat room.

As soon as it opened, he saw lamentations everywhere.

"Damn it! Why is this accessory so expensive? An F-level accessory actually costs hundreds of points? Tens of thousands of Star Coins, why not just rob me?"

"He is robbing!"

"I have money! I even sold my house! And you tell me I only have enough permissions to buy F-level accessories?"

"No way, I can't even buy F-level? Isn't F-level the weakest?"

"I can buy E-level, but it's so expensive, costing thousands of points, millions of Star Coins? No way, I'm just a level 1 newbie! I heard that killing a level 1 monster only yields 1 point, I'll be saving forever! Crazy!"

The chat room was bustling with newly awakened Auto Men from Xia City.

They were full of ambition, wanting to purchase accessories, arm themselves, and kill Steel Beasts to level up, aiming to reach the peak of life, only to find out that they simply couldn't afford these accessories!

These newbies, where could they get so many points?

After skimming through, Xu Gu, with fifty thousand points, showed a wealthy smile.

Without hesitation, he opened the Creation Mall and directly purchased top-tier divine equipment.

In the Creation Mall, there were many kinds of accessories: attack, defense, power, auxiliary, consumable, etc.

Generally, attack, defense, and power are the basics, capable of greatly enhancing three-dimensional data.

However, Xu Gu had the A-level Sky Slash, so he didn't need to buy any more close-range attack accessories.

[Current permissions are insufficient, only C-level or below accessories can be unlocked. Please upgrade level, complete tasks, slay Mechanical Abyss monsters, etc., to enhance permissions.]

Opening the mall.

No surprise, a permission notice popped up.

Xu Gu could only purchase C-level accessories for now. For others, the accessory level they could buy was even lower. Being able to directly buy E-level accessories in the early stage was remarkable; most couldn't buy F-level, or even weren't qualified to buy F-level.

As for asking for gifts, it was impossible. Most accessories were specialized and personally bound, unable to be transferred. Non-bound accessories were usually extremely precious.

From this, one could see how valuable the accessories drawn at Awakening were!

The wide variety of products made Xu Gu's eyes blurry, but fortunately, Lin Yuna provided a strategy, allowing him to quickly select the needed accessories.

[C-level Nitrogen Jet Defense Device lv1]

[Defense bonus: 20]

[In case of danger, it can spray a dense, high-intensity compressed nitrogen barrier for defense protection. Extremely high energy consumption, requires extra recharge!]

"Cheap! Buy!"

[C-level T Alloy Steel Shield lv1]

[C-level Remote Explosive Cannon lv1.]

[Firepower: 20]

[Price 20,000.]

[C-level Radar Accessory...]

[C-level Energy...]

"Buy, buy, buy!"

...

Xu Gu waved his hand, and 200,000 points disappeared from the account. Since the money came easily, he didn't feel any pain.

Instead, a beam of blue light flashed, and a pile of incredibly cool equipment components descended from the sky.

Directly armed to the teeth.

Xu Gu's lips curled.

It seemed he wasn't just a genius, a cheater, but also a pay-to-win player!

With 300,000 points left, Xu Gu had no plans to save.

He directly summoned his million-level Amplification System.

[Amplification Mall]

[Taste Amplification]: 2 to 10 times. 20,000 Creation Points.

[Entry-level Amplification]: 10 to 100 times. 100,000 Creation Points.

[Basic Amplification]: 100 to 1,000 times. 1,000,000 Creation Points.

[Intermediate Amplification]: 1,000 to 10,000 times. 10,000,000 Creation Points.

[Advanced Amplification]: 10,000 to 100,000 times. 100,000,000 Creation Points.

[Top-level Amplification]: Minimum 100,000 times amplification!

[Divine-level Amplification]: Minimum 1,000,000 times amplification!

Looking at these prices, Xu Gu raised an eyebrow, a bit startled.

No wonder it could amplify ten thousand times directly! It turned out this Intermediate Amplification was so expensive! It actually cost ten million Creation Points!

However, amplifying from S-level to SSS-level, the price was definitely worth it! S-level alone was worth far more than ten million points! Not to mention the SSS-level that was ten thousand times stronger!

Xu Gu's eyes flashed, without any hesitation,

[Purchase three entry-level amplifications!]

[Drawing!]

[Amplification 100 times!]

[Amplification 70 times!]

[Amplification 80 times!]

[Please choose amplification target]

Xu Gu's heart moved.

Was he also a lucky one?

Without thinking, his gaze fell on the great sword in his hand—the Sky Slash!

Hundredfold amplification? Enough to promote it to S-level, right? A-level and S-level, a huge difference for a mere change in word! Wonder what astonishing changes would occur!
