Mordred cleared his head and began exploring the armor page but was disappointed. All the items listed on it were mainly to stop other bullets or were cosmetic but were pretty much useless against spells and skills.
'Tsk. So I need to either create my own armor or it is telling me to not rely on armor. Most likely the latter.
From what I can tell, this system's answer to everything is either to attack first or attack more. I have no issue with this but it does mean I will lack emergency defenses. I will probably have to pick up a high-tier defensive ability book later.
Damn. That means I either have to ask mother and father or I need to make a lot of money to pay for it fast.
I will think about it later. Let's see what's next, consumables.'
This was the final type of item besides ammunition and miscellaneous but Mordred already knew what to expect with the former category so he ignored it while the latter had only a few items that interested him, that did not need to be used in conjunction with other items.
The consumable items list was very short, only containing about 50 items, and 5 of which were very expensive.
Besides the 5 most expensive, the consumables were drugs that could either be used for pleasure or increase certain stats.
'This system would not give me the pleasure drugs for my own use. Especially with the addictiveness and side effects of most of them. Could it be telling me to build a crime empire? A syndicate? Criminals do make up or back up most of the other races' governments.
Or I could give them to others and use their addictive properties to make people od things for me.
There are also drugs like Stim which would increase all the stats by 20% for 5 minutes. These could be given to allied forces. But these things are also addictive.
Whatever, the system has a way it wants me to use it.'
Thinking there, Mordred paused before a flash of coldness went through his eyes and the air around him grew dark.
He took a moment to take a deep breath in order to calm himself and return to normal.
' What the hell have I been thinking? There may be proper ways to use the system, but it is my system. I should use it however I want, in the way that best suits me.'
Thinking like this, Mordred felt as if he had a sudden strike of enlightenment go through his mind. A small screen appeared in front of his eyes.

Mordred did not look shocked but instead of the usually indifferent look he had on his face, there was instead a smirk.
'Hidden conditions? And I was able to complete one of them by just changing my mentality. Systems are truly interesting. I wonder what I will get for completing all 4.'
Mordred put the hidden conditions in the back of his mind before he focused on the 5 consumables that had a minimum cost of 1 million system points.
