As he said this, a wave of heat consumed him giving him a sweet relief. Crazy right, heat giving sweet relief, but it was because the heat didn't affect him body but rather his mind and heart.
Opening his eyes, he realized he was no longer in his compound, but was rather in a shop. Banjo who was outside, saw a wave of purple flames cover Tang Zhan and recede back into the meteorite.
Tang Zhan was standing on nothing but space, and in front of him were shelves that had in front of them a section name, he was surprised by the neat arrangements, ' I didn't know an entity like this could be this neat.'
He decided to look around the sections.
"consumables... items... weapons... clothing, so these are basically the most needed and most sought after"
"I'll check the consumables first"
Heading to the consumables shelves, Tang Zhan could see it was also split into sections.
"this dealer is pretty neat, I'm starting to wonder if it is a she"
"potions... nutritions... skills" Tang Zhan read out the same way he did we the first section.
The potions comprised of smaller versions of conical flask but it had a cork for a cover. They ranged in colours and brightness. Tang Zhan looked at one with a neon coloured liquid.
[Level up potion; from level 1-2
price: 500 killer points.]
With a wide opened mouth Tang Zhan looked at another one randomly. It was green in colour.
[Healing potion; regains 5 HP back.
price: 400 killer points.]
"well it's arguably okay, after all life can't be bought and just being able to have a slight chance of extra life seems well priced."
"I need something within the price of two hundred and twenty killer points " Immediately he said this the items on the shelf began to shuffle between themselves. The expensive ones going into a space at the back and the one within his stated price coming forth.
[Potion of stamina; +5 to endurance.
duration: 5 minutes.
aftereffects: exhaustion for 1 hour.
price: 200 killer points.]
[potion of decay; decays undead when added to weapon.
price: 200 killer points.]
Tang Zhan shook his head.
"the better ones were obviously the expensive ones, this is so unfair"
Changing sections, he moved to the skills section. They looked like some floating liquid surrounded by a thin layer of glass. They also ranged with colours.
[Fire skill: control over fire.
price: 5000 killer points.]
"ha, alas seems like I'm so poor!" Tang Zhan sighed.
Yufei left in a hurry to go shower and change clothes as well as wash the soiled clothes in the washing machine.
Then when she had gathered up enough courage, she went back outside.
" hey Banjo let's also head in to see what we can buy" Yufei said, so that Banjo wouldn't think she was still afraid of the dealer.
"sure let's go, I was also waiting for you" the two of them neared the dealer and were also taken into meteorite.
"huh! you guys finally decided to show up" as soon as they entered they met Tang Zhan who was headed to a section labeled weapon.
"brother don't you have that cool scythe, what do you need a weapon for?" Yufei asked as she was surprised by the attitude of her blind brother.
"I was restrained from using it as it surpasses the power cap of the first phase"
"so you won't be able to use it for the whole of the month?"
"yeah, something like that"
They all went to the weapon section, which had the word 'filtered for level written under weapon.
Yufei had seen a sword and had rushed to check it out.
[Level 3 ice sword.
price: 400 killer points.]
"system what is a level in items" Yufei asked after seeing level 3 in front of the blue ice sword.
[level is how strong and powerful a weapon is.
levels;
level 0 example: frypan.
level 1 example: wooden mallet.
level 2 example: wooden cricket bat.
level 3 example: sword.
level 4 example: gun.
level 5 example: only attributed weapons enter this place and higher.]
"brother check this out!" Yufei went to meet up with Tang Zhan and Banjo, and showed them her system panel.
"This is okay, if we sell we'll be able to make much killer points, let's try, Yufei sell both of your swords."
"okay, dealer can I sell my swords"
"price for each of your level 3 sword is 300 killer points" a raspy breeze blew by, this breeze was actually words coming out of the dealers mouth.
"sell both"
[600 killer points gained]
"yay, now I can get a new baby" she then went to the former sword and bought it.
Banjo too spoke up, " hey dealer I want to sell my guns, how much?"
"price for each of your level 4 guns is 500 killer points " the chilling breeze blew by again, letting them clarify that it was actually coming from the dealer who wasn't in the space with them, but outside back in the Tang compound.
"sell all 30 of them, both in my inventory and on my body."
[Reminder... you can only use the inventory in the dealers space during a phase]
[15,000 killer points gained]
Banjo then picked up a small pistol that looked like a bent scissor with a gold plating around it, it also had an under barrel with two openings, which means the pistol shoots 3 bullets at a time.
Banjo bought the gun along with a suitable silencer and magazines which looked like bubble gum. It stated that 30 bullets were in the bubble gum.
' I wonder how they fit in so much inside this small bubble gum ' he thought to himself before buying 10 of it. Everything all together was 1,000 killer points.
[Hydra pistol obtained]
[14,220 killer points remaining]
Yufei who saw this immediately turned up all her guns too for sale.
"I don't actually use guns, you know"
[10,000 killer points gained]
Tang Zhan although happy they were making good gains was also a bit jealous.
"how much would my scythe sell for?"
This time it actually took the dealer a while to answer, and even when it answered it was as if it was oblivious to the price.
"you will have to go to the upper planet and galaxies to be able to sell your scythe"
" since you too have amassed such wealth let's all go shopping"
Going back to the consumables section, Tang Zhan guide Yufei and Banjo to where skills are kept.
"Yufei, would who want a skill that compliments your sword or contrast with it"
"if the sword had a different element I would have chosen a different skill but now I also want an ice skill"
"dealer high grade ice skills" Tang Zhan ordered and the skills shuffled.
[Ice lotus; a flower to consume all.
price: 5,000 killer points.]
[Ice jade body; a body of pure ice, gleaming danger.
price: 7,000 killer points.]
[Infernal ice; ice of glacier.
price: 8,000 killer points.]
"I will buy the infernal ice skill, it seems pretty nice"
[Infernal ice obtained]
[2,220 killer points remaining]
As Yufei finished her transaction, she looked towards Banjo and saw he too had also bought a skill worth seven thousand five hundred killer points.
[Eagles eyes; no target escapes your sight.
price: 7,500 killer points.]
[6,720 killer points remaining.]
Tang Zhan didn't buy anything as he was low on killer points, so rather he recommended the best things to Yufei and Banjo to buy.
"guys your experience point are at what right now?"
Yufei was the first to answer followed by Banjo.
"mine is at 140 out of 100, it also says level up available"
"I have 165 out of 100, what should we do, should we level up "
"no no, don't, I have something I want to test out"
Tang Zhan looked at the level up potion, motioning for Banjo to buy one and use.
"first level up yourself to level one, then use the potion"
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[You have leveled up.
Attributes points: +2.
skill point: 0.1.]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Level up potion obtained]
[6,220 killer points remaining]
[You have used a level up potion, current level, level 2.]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[You have leveled up.
Attributes points: +2.
skill point: 0.1.]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
"I don't feel any different, am I not meant to be stronger?" Banjo asked, confusingly looking at his body.
"no you won't be stronger, but you can use the attributes points to become stronger... as a person who uses guns I think you should favour endurance and strength over agility."
Tang Zhan suggested because when he saw Banjo's attributes, it was all 20, even though Tang Zhan got his strength from the game and the phoenix blood, Banjo was much stronger than him.
Even Yufei had 17 in strength and endurance, and 22 in agility.
' seems like I am the only one in the group who didn't go through training, that's why I was feeling strong, if Banjo or Yufei had gotten the blood instead of me... I don't even want to imagine what sort of monster they would become '.
