After confirming that he could buy even black apes from the Association, Michael placed his order for the equipment he wanted.
He finally understood why the man from the trade center referred to the weapons as "models."
Thanks to the middle-aged man's explanation, it became clear.
Starting from rare rank—or in cultivation system terms, level 2—items were only semi-stocked.
It was like bullets, which could be produced in large quantities because their materials were common, and they had many uses.
However, rare-rank equipment required unique, high-quality materials, specialized craftsmanship, and often had specific functions.
As a result, these items couldn't be mass-produced in the same way.
Instead, models were displayed to showcase what was available, and orders were made based on demand.
