6: Selecting equipment

"Brother Yu!"

Seeing Lin Xingyu in a daze, Wang Ledian called out to him again.

Snapping out of it, Lin Xingyu immediately walked over.

"Who is this? So ill-mannered!"

Someone at the back of the line grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Shh, keep your voice down. Didn't you see wrench Man call him over?"

The person next to him nudged his arm, reminding him in a low voice.

"That's a b-rank spirit seed, the same Rank as the City Lord!"

Hearing this, the person looked at the puddle in front of him and wisely closed his mouth.

He had witnessed the scene of wrench Man clashing with someone earlier.

That thing was too evil; he didn't want to be in such a sorry state on this great day of Awakening.

"Brother Yu, I'm incredibly strong now!"

Wang Ledian lifted his wet face and said to Lin Xingyu.

"Leave your spirit seed issue to me. Once I get stronger, I'll definitely find you treasures that can enhance your spirit seed. It's no big deal!"

Hearing Wang Ledian's words, Lin Xingyu felt a warmth in his heart.

This was the second time he had said this.

He had to admit, his two childhood friends had really good character.

Upon learning that he had awakened a "trash spirit seed," not only did they not look down on him, but they also kept offering help.

It was just that they were taking things for granted.

Heaven And Earth Treasure aren't cabbages; can you just find them whenever you want?

Those treasures only existed on Douling Short Video; most people hadn't even seen them.

Although such treasures were everywhere on Douling, did that count?

Everyone on Douling was a Rank Nine Evolver, right?

...This position was quite far forward, so it didn't take long for their turn to come.

The certification for an Early Stage Evolver was simple; they just needed to display their spirit seed.

Before long, both of them successfully completed the certification.

"Brother Yu, the trial is about to start. Do you want to buy some gear?"

"Let's go!"

They had learned some basic martial arts in school.

To prepare for the trial, they needed to buy gear to arm themselves.

As time passed, the two quickly arrived at the trading district.

"Let's go to Wanding Chamber of Commerce. They have a complete selection of goods, and the prices are fair."

Wang Ledian suggested.

Lin Xingyu nodded in agreement.

The original owner still had some money left from the loan he took out to buy gene potions last time, which should be enough for a piece of ordinary gear.

At the very least, he needed a weapon.

Otherwise, how would he kill monsters? By punching them bare-handed?

Soon, they arrived in front of a massive building.

Above the building was a giant cauldron logo; this was the Starfall City branch of the Wanding Chamber of Commerce.

Wanding Chamber of Commerce was the number one Chamber of Commerce on Bluestar, with its own logistics System.

It was said that their logistics were exceptionally efficient and unaffected by the environment, usually delivering on the same day.

"Welcome!"

A fragrant breeze wafted over, and a light blue figure came to greet them.

"It's you two! Are you here to buy gear too?"

"Class Monitor, why are you here?"

"Did you put on makeup? You're so pretty!"

"I'm working part-time to earn some extra cash."

The person was none other than their high school class monitor, Tang Xiaorou.

He didn't know why, but he always felt she had a strange allure.

Wang Ledian's gaze towards her was already different.

At this moment, Lin Xingyu also saw her spirit seed information.

【Charming Jellyfish】

【Rank: E】

【Trait: Can change appearance and increase the favorability of surrounding creatures.】

【Note: When using spirit seed abilities, it will leave blue traces.】

It seemed she had used her spirit seed's ability!

This ability was indeed very suitable for a sales assistant, but it could also attract perverts...Tang Xiaorou noticed Lin Xingyu's slight daze, raised her hand, and patted his shoulder, comforting him:

"A spirit seed is just potential; it doesn't represent future achievements!"

"The universe is not yet settled; you and I are both... dark horses!"

"Who says a potted plant can't create a strong Evolver?"

Hearing Tang Xiaorou's words, Lin Xingyu didn't know how to respond and could only force an awkward smile.

Tang Xiaorou saw Lin Xingyu's forced "bitter smile" and sighed helplessly.

Such a handsome person, yet he awakened this kind of spirit seed.

But handsomeness can't put food on the table; it's truly a pity..."Class Monitor Tang, try not to use your ability on men in the future; it's easy to cause trouble."

After some thought, Lin Xingyu decided to remind her.

As soon as his words fell, Tang Xiaorou froze.

How did he know my ability?

I haven't told anyone about this ability. Could this be his spirit seed's ability?

Isn't his spirit seed an ornamental type? How could it have such an ability?

After thinking for a long time without understanding, Tang Xiaorou rubbed her slightly aching head and retracted her ability.

"Thanks for the reminder!"

Wang Ledian looked at the two suspiciously, wondering what secret they were exchanging.

However, he didn't think much about it and said to Tang Xiaorou:

"The trial is coming soon, and we plan to buy some gear to arm ourselves."

"No problem, follow me. I'll recommend some cost-effective gear for you."

Tang Xiaorou readily agreed and turned to lead the two inside.

She understood their situation well and directly led them to the "Ordinary Gear Area."

The gear here was divided into "Spirit Energy Gear" and "Ordinary Gear."

Spirit Energy Gear, or spirit gear for short, was gear suitable for Evolvers.

There were two sources of spirit gear.

One was hatched from a spirit seed. That's right, a spirit seed.

In this world, there was an extremely low chance of a spirit seed dropping when killing monsters. It could be hatched by consuming spirit crystals.

Similar to human "companion spirit seed," these hatched spirit seed were also divided into "soul seed" and "artifact seed."

Among them, "artifact seed" would transform into various gear, which was the main source of spirit gear in the Early Stage of the apocalypse.

However, the drop rate of spirit seed was very low and could not meet daily human needs.

As time passed, humans found a large number of blueprints for making spirit gear in the Deep Space Library and began to attempt to craft spirit gear manually.

And gradually, the profession of blacksmith evolved.

This was the second source of spirit gear.

Even for blacksmiths, there was a very high failure rate when crafting spirit gear, consuming a large amount of Materials.

This made the price of spirit gear very high in the market.

Due to the exorbitant prices, many Evolvers could only use lower-Rank spirit gear.

Not to mention these newcomers who had just awakened.

Most of their classmates would use ordinary gear.

Ordinary gear was made of alloy and could not be activated with spirit power.

It merely prevented humans from fightingMythical Beasts bare-handed.

"These are swords."

"These are spears."

"These are sabers."

..."These are all ordinary gear. I can get them for you for 20,000 credit points."

Saying this, Tang Xiaorou looked at the two.

20,000 credit points were indeed cheaper than outside; it seemed the Class Monitor gave them an internal price.

"I want this battle saber."

Lin Xingyu tried them one by one and finally chose a battle saber.

Using a saber was more familiar to him.

Wang Ledian's wrench could be used as a weapon, so he didn't buy one.

It's worth mentioning that gear generated from "companion spirit seed" is usually called "companion spirit gear."

Compared to spirit gear of the same Rank, "companion spirit gear" has greater power and lower consumption.

It can even self-repair when damaged, making it the most suitable gear for Evolvers...
