179: Getting involved, illusion versus reality

Resignation successful.

Lu Chen was straightforward; he headed out to purchase equipment.

Adventures require risk, but equipment is also essential.

For these matters, Lu Chen, a person who had experienced great storms, found it second nature.

It was simply second nature to him.

Furthermore, because of the existence of that card, along with his powerful perception and understanding, and even the constant absorption of this knowledge...

Lu Chen understood this world better than anyone else.

Even treating it as a real world, Lu Chen's Devouring Talent still existed.

This was simply a king entering a newbie village.

He arrived at a weapon shop.

"A sword."

"Young Master Lu?"

"Yes, it's me. I want to buy a sword."

"You have a sharp eye to find me. I don't know what kind of sword you need? Look, we even have heirlooms from the Advanced Elven Empire; perhaps you'd like to try one?"

"What material is it made of?"

Lu Chen continued to ask.

"We have all kinds of materials, even Dragon bones."

"Very well, I'll take them all."

"Huh?"

"Is that not possible?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go get them. Young Master, are you...?"

"This storage space."

Lu Chen played a little trick; he turned a wisp of undead finger bone directly into a ring, treating it as a storage space, and brought it out just like that.

"I also need armor."

"Very well."

The shopkeeper hurriedly had his assistant fetch goods continuously, smiling apologetically as he asked: "I don't know, Young Master, are you planning to become a member of the Imperial Guard or to challenge an Ancient Secret Realm? Even a young master from the Imperial Guard yesterday didn't have this much money to come and buy so many things here. However, what he bought seemed to be for dealing with monsters; they were all Sharp Weapons for armor-piercing. Do you need any?"

"No need. For armor-piercing, firearms will do."

Lu Chen's words were simple.

This world has high technology.

Firearms must be quite good.

"Very well."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper began to recommend firearms.

But Lu Chen didn't want any of them.

Afterward, once all the armor and weapons were delivered...

Lu Chen just put them on.

His gaze instantly made people shudder.

The Aura of an undead, and a king at that, indeed exerted too much pressure on people.

This was an extremely terrifying existence.

"Not bad."

Lu Chen tested his hand and felt it was okay.

After arriving at the church, Lu Chen took a look and found it interesting.

It looked very much like an Orthodox church.

This was also the Hagia Sophia.

It was also the largest church here.

Very interesting; this place was also called Constantinople.

This country was also called the Eastern Roman Empire.

Truly identical.

There were quite a few places here for magic alchemy.

Lu Chen chose one and pushed the door to enter.

Lu Chen didn't dally at all when doing these things; he was truly efficient in his actions.

Decisive and straightforward.

"Hello, what does the customer need?"

The boss asked upon seeing Lu Chen.

"I want to sell my assets."

"Oh, oh, oh, I see you are the young master of the Lu family, right?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Your family's assets are all pharmaceutical businesses; are you willing to part with them?"

"If the price is right, I am willing."

Lu Chen didn't want to waste any words at all.

It was as if these things had nothing to do with him.

"Young Master Lu Chen, you could go to the bank for a mortgage loan. If you are really short on money, why go this far? Your assets are quite good." The boss said with a human touch.

This actually made Lu Chen feel a bit stunned for a moment.

He couldn't help but smile slightly in his heart.

He almost forgot, this was a world.

Lu Chen softened his cold Aura and then replied politely:

"It's fine. Because I'm in a hurry to return to my hometown, and there are things to do there, I don't plan to stay here. Please just give me a price. I know you all really want to buy my family's assets, so I chose to give them to you, also because your church can afford a good price."

These were all church assets.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's start signing the contract. I'll call the person in charge of the church."

In no time, Lu Chen had completed the procedures.

Even the church deacon had come over.

"Mr. Lu Chen, everything has been finalized. Do you want cash or a bank transfer?"

"Cash."

Lu Chen was very decisive.

Then, the other party took out a bag of gold notes from their storage space.

These were the currency of this world.

They were banknotes, but gold notes.

After selling the items.

Lu Chen glanced at this magic item shop.

He asked: "I need blank Soul contracts, you have them, right?"

The boss nodded.

After all, this item was something every magic item shop had.

A Soul contract was a constraint, a rule.

If you don't obey the master, your Soul will be scattered and annihilated.

"But it's very expensive."

This item was very rare; the boss was telling the truth.

If it weren't for their church's magic shop, probably nowhere else would have it.

"Alright, I'll buy it. How about you give me a gun as a gift?"

"That's fine. After all, with such a big deal, Young Master Lu, no problem."

"I just need a handgun, an enchanted one."

"Good, how about a Desert Eagle?"

"Very good."

"I also want an automatic pistol; semi-automatic is fine too."

"Also need it to be magical?"

The boss was a bit strange.

What are you doing going back to your hometown?

Killing people?

Or slaughtering a village?

Lu Chen wouldn't tell him, it was really just for self-defense.

Because he was used to having more weapons.

He couldn't easily use his own power.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get the answers he wanted for many things in this world.

At this moment, Lu Chen could feel that the Faceless Man was definitely not that loyal to the Heavenly Dao.

That card didn't have a single trace of Heavenly Dao pollution on it.

Very interesting.

Did a turncoat emerge among the Heavenly Dao's Puppets?

Really interesting, someone actually betrayed the Heavens?

But thinking about it, nothing is impossible.

After all, humans are already going to act in a Heaven-Defying manner.

"We have them, but the recoil is low and the power is average; they are equipped for young mages."

"It's all the same."

"Two guns. You give me a Desert Eagle, and I'll pay for the remaining automatic rapid-fire pistol."

"How much do you charge?"

"20 gold notes."

"Very good, deal."

"What else do you need?"

"Holy Light scrolls, and Holy Water bombs..."

After Lu Chen finished saying this, he felt ridiculous himself.

He, an undead skeleton, was buying such things.

It was just because what he was going to deal with was also undead stuff.

Everyone was undead, it's just that he was of the undead lineage.

That thing was an undead vampire.

It wasn't even of the undead lineage.

However, these things had long since had no harmful restraint on him.

Morning Dew had injected him with angel-level Holy Light.

It had helped him hinder crystallization.

What level were these Mortal Holy Lights?

"Mr. Lu, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Can't I return home to exorcise demons?"
