Chapter 603: Chapter 8: Purchasing SS-Class Item and Newbie Entry (Three updates, Ten Thousand Words)

Seated quietly in a corner of the room, Tang Zheng was perusing the Trojan List while taking stock of his props. Whether firearms or cold weapons, all were powerful S-grades. The Demon Slaying Holy Flame, a tool that could inflict double damage on spirits and had a Bursting Demonic Break effect; The Snow Representative Circle, capable of breaking SS defensive properties; Dragon Bone Curved Knife, naturally carrying tearing and bleeding effects and having a one-in-a-thousand chance of "beheading." The Dual-Bladed Butcher he’d captured from the Russian brute was also S-grade, though it seemed somewhat fickle in comparison. As for firearms, all except for the Gauss Sniper Rifle - an S-grade - were of Level A, with the Thunderstorm Crossbow being a bit inferior; the Gravity Gun, however, was better at A+.

When it came to protective equipment, the most expensive was naturally the SS-Class Iron Hellfire. However, due to its affiliation with technology, it would often malfunction in spirit-type games or have a limit on its usage, significantly reducing its practicality. The Firefly protective clothing was not bad, but many people owned them. At least, every captain of the Trojan Squad had a set, and even a random Frenchman wore one, which was quite a blow to him.

"When did Firefly become so commonplace? Now that I have enough attack power, what I lack is defense." Tang Zheng turned a page, and a series of SS-Class protective clothing names instantly appeared in his field of vision.

Tyrannosaurus Protective Clothing, SS-class, will not be broken by any firearms below A-class until it is damaged, and can negate damage from any cold weapons of A-class or lower.

Shock resistant, unharmed if falling from a 50m high building, capable of directly withstanding the bombing of a 500 pound heavy cannon.

High-pressure resistant, capable of walking at a depth of 1000 metres in the sea as if on flat ground, fully sealed with a five-minute oxygen supply.

Corrosion resistant, allowing you to take a bath or swim in a strong sulfuric acid pool.

High temperature resistant, enduring up to 10,000 degrees Celsius, and that’s just for starters.

It is resistant to nuclear, biochemical, and biological attacks, with an embedded disguise.

The only weakness lies in the head area, though it comes with an A-Class hood, and can’t be penetrated by ordinary bullets, making it the perfect weapon for defense against sniper attacks!

Note, paired with a top SS-grade helmet, it’s a great deal!

Upon seeing this introduction, Tang Zheng immediately felt excited. Among the props sold by the Trojan, protective equipment for the head was the scarcest, and most were several-pound heavy helmets. Wearing a helmet, even if it didn’t tire your neck, would still severely affect your movements. The hood would be much more convenient in comparison.

However, the following description piqued his interest, the past desire to spend his points became evident. Once worn, according to the seven major physical qualities recorded when the user first entered the Trojan Room, all would be raised eight times.

"Just for this one piece of clothing alone, it’s equivalent to a full upgrade with 28,000 points, which is four times more than the Firefly." Tang Zheng was in awe, clicking on the virtual model.

This was a tight-fitting suit that constantly changed coloriser, covered in strange patterns. It appeared ordinary at first glance but was indeed a capable weapon to deceive and defeat others. However, upon seeing the price, Tang Zheng instantly gasped in shock.

SS-grade prop, valued at 21,000 points, two Star Seeds and ten Golden Seeds. Even for someone like Tang Zheng, who was obsessed with gaining points, excluding the purchase of essential potions and ammunition, it would take at least five rounds to gather that amount. Not to mention ordinary people.

"This is a rip-off! Why didn’t you just mark it as ’Not for Sale’?" Tang Zheng cursed loudly.

Two young men teleported in, clutching their stomachs, and skeptically stared at Tang Zheng. Soon, they started to look around.

"Hey buddy, what is this place?" The bespectacled young man strode towards Tang Zheng with a friendly expression, offering him a pack of cigarettes, "We’re students from the University of Technology, we’re good guys."

"No shit, Sherlock. We’re obviously good. Didn’t we just interfere to help someone? How did we get here?" The other young man touched his down jacket and suddenly froze, "Holy shit, some guy just stabbed me. Where’s the wound? Was I dreaming?"

"Where’s that girl? Hurry up, chase her down and get her phone number! It’s a pivotal chance to avoid being single!" The bespectacled university student, Ren Yi, urged his friend with an urgent expression.

"Give it a rest. With your unimpressive looks, don’t think that just because you saved her, you can take the damsel as a prize. She has a boyfriend, let’s go. To the hospital. I’ve just been stabbed." Li Zhixin touched his stomach and walked towards the door, trying to turn the door handle, but it didn’t budge.

"Buddy, what is this place?" Ren Yi jokingly asked his friend, to dispel the terror in their hearts. They hadn’t forgotten the events that had just transpired. They were playing World of Warcraft in an internet cafe when a roommate called stating that the advisor was coming for a room check. They hurried out and encountered a man robbing a couple. The man was a coward and ran away immediately. A fuming Ren Yi had charged forward but was stabbed in the ensuing struggle. His good friend, Li Zhixin, was not spared either.

"You’re dead," Tang Zheng announced as a disheveled girl teleported into the room, looking flustered all over.

"Eh, it’s you. Where’s that robber? Did he run away?" instinctively asked Ren Yi, then tried to look innocent, "Buddy, stop joking."

Tang Zheng ignored him, asking the Trojan if he could apply a discount. He still had a lot of unused props, like the Mechanical Lion Roar Cannon, Dual-bladed Butcher, which were effectively redundant and would be better sold. Coupled with the Seeds exchanged for points and a Discount Device, he could scramble the funds.

"You can," the Trojan was succinct, "if you mortgage all your S-grade props, use up all your points."

"Then, let’s do it." Tang Zheng plugged the Discount Device into his wristwatch, selected the Tyrannosaurus Protective Clothing, and hit the ’confirm’ button. The numbers on the virtual screen immediately began to rotate.

Lu Fan and Pang Meiqin teleported into the room. They took one glance at the three newcomers and were about to approach Tang Zheng. But they saw him staring at his wristwatch and mumbling something under his breath.
