Chapter 1467: A Little Bit of Shopping
The human attendant showed him the best ten equipment in the store with the highest rank being a Legend Rank shield.
It was a round silver shield, around forty centimeters in diameter. It had a sharp edge like a blade, but it was too small for his taste. He liked the shield he could get from Domain of Paragon Armament.
'I don't think Mengyao likes the shield as well. That's too small for her regular shield.'
There were two Legend Rank equipment, a shield, and a dual sword. The moment his eyes locked on the sword. He immediately thought of Lu An.
The sword was pitch black. One sword for the main hand was slightly longer while the other was shorter. This one was also Legend Rank.
The remaining collections were Primordial Rank. Three sets of heavy armor, and four weapons. A dagger, a bow, a spear, and another sword. He did not think he could buy them all with the money he had.
"How much for this sword?" Tang Shaoyang prioritized the sword for Lu An. He remembered that Lu An was still using the low-grade sword he had given him earlier in the game. Even though they had a dwarf to make something better, Lu An insisted on using the same sword.
The human attendant made a troubled expression when he was asked for the price of the sword, "Unfortunately, you can't buy this sword, Sir. This sword is not for sale."
"Why do you show me the sword if you don't want to sell it!?" Tang Shaoyang frowned.
"It's not up for sale, but I will accept a trade," The dwarf returned with the modified Mash. He tossed the big weapon toward Tang Shaoyang.
Tang Shaoyang took the weapon and saved it in the inventory, "What do you want from me?" He was determined to get the sword for Lu An as a gift.
"Materials!" The dwarf readily replied, "I want four types of Calamity's bodies in exchange for the sword."
The dwarf thought Tang Shaoyang would accept the trade, but then he noticed his customer hesitating.
Tang Shaoyang did not know what kind of Calamity this dwarf wanted. He could not make a deal until he found how strong most of the calamity was. More than that, Calamity was also a material for him.
He needed those bodies to advance his spirit or maybe tried to summon a new spirit with Calamity. That was what made him hesitate. If he could kill many of those calamities, then he did not mind trading them.
"But four calamities are too many for this sword. I also need the calamity's dead body myself. But let's see what rank calamity you want first."
If it was Rank 1 or maybe Rank 2 Calamity. He could maybe get them easier.
The dwarf immediately took out four parchments from his inventory and showed it to Tang Shaoyang.
The first calamity was Rank 1 Calamity, doable. Not only did the dwarf have the drawing, but also told him where he could find it. It was something like a turtle. Of course, the size was massive and the shell had many spikes all over.
The second calamity was also a Rank 1 Calamity. Rank 1 Calamity was not that hard, but then he read the description. It might not be as easy as he thought for the second type of calamity.
The second calamity was a bird type. The issue was not because this one could fly but because this one moved in a group. It said in the description that this Shadow Crow Calamity moved in a group. Usually, it was five in the minimum as a group but mostly found in a group of ten to twelve.
This Shadow Crow already made him hesitant to take the deal. Unless he could overwhelm them with his current power, then he would not try to hunt them for the quest. It was still foggy about how this calamity's rank went to his rank.
The third parchment was showing the Rank 3 Calamity, The Soaring Serpent. It was a snake with six pairs of wings that could reach seventy meters. The good news was that the serpent moved alone instead of in a group. But it was two ranks higher than the two previous Calamity.
Then he checked the last parchment. It was a three-headed lion called Trinitalion. The size was smaller compared to the serpent. Around fifteen meters long and eight meters tall. However, size did not determine its rank. Trinitalion was Rank 5 Calamity.
There was no need for him to look for the details of the fourth calamity as he handed back the parchment to the dwarf, "I don't think this sword is worth those four calamity's bodies."
The human attendant snatched the four parchment from the dwarf for a check. His eyes widened when he saw the list of the calamity. He knew what the dwarf tried to do.
His partner tried to take advantage of their customer after the first deal. He took a breath, calming himself down so he did not lash out at his partner in front of their customer.
"I am sorry, Sir. It seems there's a misunderstanding. You don't have to give us all four Calamity to trade the sword. You can trade the sword with one Rank 5 Trinitalion's body. Or you can trade the sword with three Rank 1 Chelodros or three Shadow Crows and one Soaring Serpent for the sword."
"There's an additional benefit if you do the deal, Sir. The store will give you free repair for your equipment until the end of the Trial of God."
That sounded like a better deal, but still not worth it. He still did not know how dangerous this Rank 3 Calamity was. He did not need the free repair service as he did not think he would need that with his Mash with [Unbreakable].
"I will think about it. If I get the body, then I might trade it for the equipment," Tang Shaoyang did not refuse or haggle. He could haggle when he actually had the goods.
"What about the equipment's blueprints? Do you sell those?" This is what he looked for, the method to make the equipment. He wanted his dwarf to be able to craft high-grade equipment just like the ones in this store. They needed collections of blueprints to improve.
For the first time, the human attendant frowned. That was the weird thing to ask from the blacksmith. There was no way the blacksmith would sell the method of making their equipment. The only way for an outsider to get those was by being an apprentice for this blacksmith. It was not up to him, but his dwarf partner. He was about to politely tell the customer that the store did not sell the blueprints. However, his dwarf partner had a different idea.
"I can sell you Epic Grade up to Myth Grade equipment's blueprints, but I don't accept GC. I want to trade for a material!"
Tang Shaoyang was glad that he could get the blueprints, but it was a trade, "I assume it's the Calamity's remains that you want?"
"Yes! I want materials, and if you find a rare ore mine too. We can trade with that as well. Though I doubt you will find one in this calamity-infested world."
"Then I will come back for that later," Tang Shaoyang nodded, "What about a custom order? Do you accept those? I am looking for a lance, but I don't see one."
After achieving his goals, he thought about shopping for gifts for his wives. That was right, he bought weapons and armor as a gift, not rings or necklaces. He also looked for a bow for Delia, Aleesa, and Ava. Then he did not forget their light armor as well.
