"Now for the armor section." Blake used the filter function to filter out non-armor products, But unlike before he wasn't that shocked because of the prices.
After checking and not seeing any useful properties in the armors within 30k points, Blake scrolled past the 40k price mark and began paying more attention to the properties of the armors with the 50k price mark.
Not only had the number of useless armors reduced, but the effects were way much better. There were lightweight armors that focused mostly on enhancing the wearer's speed, but the disadvantage of such armor was that their barrier was not as strong as those of heavy armors and it was vice versa for heavy armors.
The number of armors on the 50k points list wasn't as big and annoying as those with lower prices, thus it didn't take much time for Blake to scan through the list but still, nothing caught his attention.
Blake wasn't happy about how things were going. For every time he failed to get something, the more his heart constricted because the price was increasing by 10000 points!
"C'mon, don't do this to daddy." Blake prayed with heavy eyes, as he scrolled to the list with 60k starting points.
After close to 5 minutes of reading the attributes of each armor and double-checking in other to make sure there was nothing he had skipped, Blake felt like going on his knees and begging the heavens because he was met with another failure.
The system was laughing its arse off when it saw Blake rechecking the list for the 3rd time.
[Don't be a cheap stake, the higher the points spent the greater the abilities and attributes of the armor.]
Blake ignored the system's remark and crossed his fingers as he scrolled to the next price range.
"Wow, this is interesting." Blake was quite surprised when he saw elemental armors on the list.
Elemental armors were products of skilled forgemasters that still had the same abilities as normal armors, but the reason they were highly sorted for was their ability to boost the power of elemental abilities. For example, if Blake was to put on a fire elemental armor and cast a spell, the process of gathering mana and the quantity gathered will remain the same, but once he released the spell, the armors core would double the power of the spell.
"If there were any elemental armors that could triple the power of my spells then I would have considered getting it, but too bad I am not here for elemental armors..." Blake said as he continued scrolling.
"A cool name let's see what we have here." In his heart, Blake was praying this was what he was looking for.
Blake clicked on the Rampant armor to get more information about it.
"Wow! Shock absorption, heavy armor barrier, mana absorption, are you kidding me, what is an armor so good doing at the 70k price?!" Blake was shocked out of his wits when he read about the Rampant armor's abilities.
The system too was shocked and couldn't believe its eyes, but unlike Blake that was overwhelmed by the shock, the system was still able to reason.
[Less talking and more buying, look there is only one in stock!]
Snapping out of it, Blake quickly made the purchase and allowed the orb to scan his badge, deducting 70k points.
This time Blake didn't feel bad about the number of points spent because he knew it was more than worth it.
Blake wasn't at the exchange point only for armor. He still had to buy pills, potions, and other things that could come in handy. After making sure he had gotten everything he needed, Blake left the exchange point.
…
In Professor Tacitus's room.
'Wow! That was quicker than expected. I thought because most students have returned to their homes, it would take ages to sell the Rampant armor.' Professor Tacitus thought when he received an alert informing him that the item he had placed for sale had been sold for 70k.
'I wonder who the lucky kid that got one of my masterpieces for a reduced price, is? Nah, I don't care, all that matters now is getting the rewards.' Professor Tacitus couldn't help but fantasize about the rewards he was about to get, as established a connection with a distant communication orb.
"Your highness, the armor you asked me to sell had been sold for the specified amount you had requested." Professor Tacitus spoke with his head still lowered.
"Thank you for agreeing to help a lucky kid by selling one of your prized possession. As a reward, you can send in a request for whatever you need to further your research. Goodbye Professor, I have other matters to attend to." Prince Bryon said with a smile as he canceled the connection.
'Yes! Yes! Yes!' professor Tacitus made a short celebratory dance as he brought out a decade-old wine to celebrate.
…
That afternoon.
Blake had received his package earlier than other days. The moment he was sure that delivery staff was long gone, Blake immediately zoomed off to the concealed space to play with his new toy.
"I still can't believe that a forgemaster would decide to sell one of these at such a price..." Blake said as he brought out a darkish-red chest plate made of metal leagues above steel and
At the center of the darkish-red chest, plate was sky blue crystal that produced a hue around it.
Not wasting more time, Blake injected his mana into the sky blue crystal, binding the Rampant armor to himself, before putting it on.
"Wow, it even has the call ability. This is the best deal I have ever made." Blake felt like he had ripped off the forgemaster that sold the armor, but instead of feeling bad, he felt great.
The call ability allowed the owner of an item to automatically equip the item as long as it was connected to a functioning dimensional space, but the disadvantage was that if the owner was to enter areas that have dimensional space blocking arrays, the call ability won't work.
