Chapter 408: Chapter 292: Distribution of Equipment

"These weapons have had many names, and different Holy Temples have referred to them differently. Some called them Imperial Forest Spears, others called them Holy Swords..."

"However, now that the Star Alliance has been established, I naturally gave them a new name. Since they are forged from Mystical Crystals, let’s just call them Mystic Weapons."

Zhang Xiaoman spoke as he introduced these weapons, though the names were quite arbitrary.

The few people beside him listened intently while also keeping an eye on the equipment placed on the weapon rack.

Zhang Xiaoman smiled and shook his head, "Don’t be anxious. As Awakeners, each of you will have your own weapon."

As he said this, he looked at Xiao Shun, who was nearest to him, and then a Star Guard went at his command, took a longsword from the weapon rack, and handed it to Xiao Shun.

"Clap~"

After the other party received the weapon, the Star Guard stood at attention and performed a Star Touching Ceremony before moving on to distribute another.

Xiao Shun, on the other hand, held the longsword with excitement and examined it up and down.

The sword was entirely silver-white, with a slender blade, weighing at least ten pounds, the edge glinting coldly, engraved with intricate and beautiful patterns, and even the hilt bore the emblem of a Guardian’s shield.

"Swish, swish!"

Wielding it in his hand, Xiao Shun swung it a couple of times, and a sound of slicing through the air could be heard, very sharp.

But because the sword was too heavy, he began to pant with effort after only a few swings.

It was clear that with his current physical condition, it was nearly impossible to wield the sword effectively.

By that time, the Star Guards were already beginning to distribute the weapons from the rack to everyone present.

Suddenly, the sounds of air being sliced filled the surroundings as everyone began to swing their newly acquired weapons, testing their sharpness.

"This, uh... Star Lord, isn’t this spear a bit too heavy? I feel like I can’t quite handle it. Can I exchange it for something else...?"

Brother Hero suddenly came over and asked somewhat embarrassedly.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at him, noting that he was holding an Imperial Forest Spear he had just given him.

That spear was even heavier than the silver longsword, and not only would Brother Hero, who was slightly weaker, struggle with it, even Lord Bear would likely have difficulty using it for long.

"Brother Hero, the long spear is a standard equipment for a Forest Guardian and is also your first weapon, which you should take good care of and use. If you want to exchange it for another weapon, I can help you with that, but I don’t recommend it."

Brother Hero scratched his head, "Uh... why is that?"

Zhang Xiaoman looked at him and explained, "It’s simple. Because of the different battle environments in the past, the ancestors of the various Holy Temples used different weapons."

"The Forest Guardians had to battle Alien Species outside year-round, and even destroy Dimension Rifts, so long spears, which allow for a longer attack range and easier cooperation, became their preferred choice over longswords."

"Of course, swords and shields are also powerful, but when facing monsters, using a long spear gives you more strength and is safer."

After hearing this, Brother Hero felt there was some reason to it.

He looked again at the longsword and shield held by others, and then at the long spear in his own hands. After a moment of hesitation, he chose to keep the latter.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded at his decision before turning his attention to the others.

"I assigned the equipment according to the sub-halls you will belong to in the future. Although these weapons were once part of their respective Holy Temples, now that the Star Alliance has integrated, there is no restriction on using them. If you prefer other types of weapons, you can exchange them on your own."

Upon hearing this, the people hesitated for a moment, but in the end, none of them went to exchange. Only Lord Bear stepped forward, indicating he wanted to switch his longsword for a long spear.

Zhang Xiaoman naturally nodded in agreement and, seeing that everyone had received their equipment, finally turned to leave.

The weapons had now been distributed, and once Lord Bear had his training plan out, he would arrange for everyone to strengthen their practice in this area.

If there was a chance later on, it would be essential to find a master in this field to teach them the techniques of using these weapons.

The equipment distribution was a success, and the Awakeners had all received their own equipment. Now they were excitingly fiddling with it in the open space, even Ji Xiaoqi, the girl, was excitedly brandishing her sword with a beaming face.

Lin Sisi and Mr. Ye each had a weapon in hand, although they couldn’t use it given their current physical condition.

However, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t intend to send them to the battlefield with a weapon; giving them this gear was more of a memorabilia.

After receiving the long spear, Ye Cang showed visible excitement, caressing his weapon continuously from top to bottom, his face reflecting wistfulness.

Zhang Xiaoman knew that Mr. Ye, who had waited a lifetime for his turn as a Forest Guardian, finally owning their weapons, was bound to be feeling sentimental.

"Sisi, I’ll put this shield in our house later. Be careful, and don’t accidentally hurt yourself with it."

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the girl beside him and then led her away by the hand.

Today, the new task distribution was complete. In his remaining time, besides studying his Ability, his focus would naturally be on building the Star Alliance.

Keep in mind, there were still a few System-recommended underlings on the member list waiting for him to recruit.

...

Five days later.

Zhang Xiaoman emerged from an apartment building feeling somewhat frustrated. According to the System interface, there should have been a person living here, but when he arrived, it was already empty.

In the past few days, while training his Dark Energy, Zhang Xiaoman also took the time to look for some potential members on the gang list.

However, compared to his previous search efforts, this time he faced some hindrances. After visiting three places in a row, he failed to find his targets.

The first place was a small town in Ero. Though the member list had provided the town’s address, Zhang Xiaoman spent a long time searching to no avail.

Since it was in a remote area, some residents didn’t even know the name of the place they lived in, making it quite challenging to search for a town by address.

With no other choice, as he also needed to continue his cultivation and couldn’t afford to waste all his time on this, Zhang Xiaoman left the task to the people of the Light Blue Clan, who were tasked with locating the small town for him.
