Free Web NovelChapter 2493: Chapter 2493: Spending Money
The game prohibits players from carrying large thermal weapons. Although some container props and venue props have loopholes to exploit, with the game’s continuous updates, these loopholes will be gradually patched. Thus, although players can buy large weapons in a new district, they can’t take them to another, which is why players don’t rely much on thermal weapons.
Therefore, not only Bubble Bean, but even the Wan Family did not understand why he suddenly wanted to buy weapons here.
A few people arrived at the exchange. Weapons are updated quickly now, and products phased out through iterations are directly sold through various channels. The district government doesn’t prohibit this. Among these are instruments and weapons used by the enforcement departments that can be seen on the streets, including but not limited to armed robots, armed flying devices, and miniature surveillance instruments.
Of course, there are also large energy weapons. The holographic display clearly shows the conditions of use for these weapons and the power they can achieve in one hit.
However, the ultra-large energy weapons sold in District 001 have safety locks. If ordinary players purchase them, they are locked in District 001 and can’t be used there. There are no restrictions once you leave this district.
"Normally, player customers prefer medium to small-sized weapons," a staff member introduced, "because they are easy to carry and aren’t prohibited in District 001. Of course, if weapons are used randomly to attack others, the law enforcement team will arrest you."
The staff member humorously added a quip, but seeing no response, they quickly switched back to business mode.
Xu Huo browsed through the menu, "What are the commonly used weapons equipped by the law enforcement team now?"
"The law enforcement team’s weapons update isn’t that fast; they’re still using the D7 series weapon inventory." The staff member proficiently opened a file package. "HGK103 full shield helmet, super crystal defense mask, ultra-light defense full-body armor, U20 portable terminal, charging battle boots; accompanying monitoring instrument, medium-sized armed flying device, deep earth locator, human replacement mechanical dog; E38 interference devices, G002 igniter, swarm tracker..."
"These are the main equipment. There are also some small instruments to improve the monotony of daily work. If customers need them, I can introduce you to them."
Xu Huo reviewed these equipment one by one. True members of the law enforcement team don’t fully arm themselves when going out. In non-extreme environments, using props is more convenient than these.
However, items like accompanying monitoring instruments, armed flying devices, and swarm trackers, which are smaller and more portable, are quite common. Especially the tracker; when Xu Huo was previously looking for the Girl in the painting, he saw law enforcement team members using it. The machine bees can connect with each other to monitor a large area.
Helmet, mask, battle boots, plus a portable terminal, monitoring instrument, armed flying device, underground locator, igniter, and tracker, Xu Huo selected most of the products from the set, "Get me a few sets of each of these."
He paused for a moment and then asked, "The equipment used by the military should be of a higher level than this. Do you sell it here?"
The staff member smiled broadly and promptly introduced the items, guaranteeing, "These are definitely the latest standard configurations in the military. Aside from here, you might not find these goods elsewhere!"
Xu Huo skimmed through quickly, flipped through the menu, "I’m not interested in uninspired recommendations, just prepare three sets of the equipment I just mentioned, and I’ll pay and leave."
Compared to weapons, players generally prefer to spend a lot on props, and the prices of these gradually iterated-down products will gradually decrease. Ordinary people can’t digest much of it, and players without much money might buy a bit, but the demand isn’t large. Xu Huo is considered a major customer.
The staff hurriedly stopped him, saying they needed to apply for authorization to sell some semi-public, not yet officially available military weapons.
"I’ll wait," Xu Huo indicated for them to hurry.
The staff member quickly left the lounge.
"Wow, you’re really rich," Bubble Bean clicked his tongue, "The eliminated equipment from the law enforcement team is already expensive, and you still want to buy military-grade ones. How much would that cost?"
He paused and then covered his mouth and nose with his hand, mouthing to Xu Huo, "Might as well rob."
Then he verbally added, "If you really want it, anyway, they’re disposable items."
Most players are quite poor. Whatever little money they have is spent on improving props, so how can they afford expensive instruments and weapons? Someone as wealthy as Xu Huo could buy better instruments, but what’s the use of these phased-out products if he takes them to another district? They just take up space.
So buying them means they can only be used in District 001, making them disposable items.
"If you can pull it off, go ahead," Xu Huo indicated he might practice it.
District 001 is so technologically advanced, they even have cell-sized robots implanted into the human body. Military equipment would only be more advanced. Being pursued by the law enforcement team over a few pieces of equipment? Better to spend some money.
Bubble Bean leaned back on the soft accompanying chair and lazily said, "I don’t need those things, anyway."
The staff soon returned, bringing access to the weapons library, and showcased the semi-public new weapons.
"I’m not too interested in the rest," Xu Huo said. "I’m only looking at trackers and medium to small-sized igniters."
Among the weapons, the armed robot goes without saying, and even the simplified version of the armed flying device is very expensive. Buying one or two to play with is fine, but having too many is hard to sustain and pointless.
The staff diligently recommended a few models of trackers and small igniters.
The swarm tracker indeed has its advantages, but its disadvantage is also obvious: it’s fragile and lacks deterrent power. Military trackers are larger and have a warning effect.
As for small igniters, they are essentially like small bomb devices, with the difference being igniters have more autonomy. They can be precisely set to explode near certain or multiple targets and, once released, can track in a certain range independently, making them more convenient.
Xu Huo ordered ten trackers, twenty small igniters, plus the incomplete three sets of equipment from before, spending tens of millions at once.
"I won’t remit through the player account," he said, "I’ll pay in cash."
"However the customer prefers, our shop can accommodate," the staff member said.
Eventually, tens of millions of White Notes were stacked on the table in the room.
Items like trackers can be placed in the luggage compartment, but igniters can’t. Xu Huo didn’t want the metal box offered by the shop; he bought a pocket on Beneath the Dimension and dumped everything inside, handing it to the Girl in the painting to carry.
"With tens of millions, you could have bought a nice Rank-A prop," Bubble Bean couldn’t help but feel envious as he eyed the Girl in the painting’s back where a colorful cloth bag hung, upon exiting the exchange.
