Yang Xiao flipped through the back and found only Second Rank weapons, with no Third Rank weapons.
"No Third Rank?"
Qin Lu chuckled:
"We're not even qualified to order Second Rank, how could we show you Third Rank weapons?"
Yang Xiong suddenly remembered his Bronze Divine Sword and asked:
"What's the highest rank?"
"Generally speaking, Fourth Rank is rare, and I've never seen anything above Fifth Rank. I've heard that only special people can commission Artifact Refining Masters to make them, and the time, materials, and money involved are not affordable to ordinary people."
Yang Xiao nodded, thinking his Bronze Divine Sword was probably around Fourth or Fifth Rank, but it was not a sword he dared to use in front of everyone.
Now since Qin Lu is willing to order one in his name, this is great; having his own Magic Killing Long Sword, he'd be on the same starting line as those Iron Tower Guards and the men in black cloaks.
The prices of Primary Level weapons are roughly the same, and their Combat Power is not much different; it merely lies in the design of the weapons.
Yang Xiao chose a Green Cloud Sword, and was about to pay with his Black Crystal Card when Qin Lu stopped him.
"Brother Yang, consider this sword a gift from me. My dad's base has thirty mines, even more than Station Chief Dai's. One million is a trifling matter for me."
Yang Xiao: "..."
Okay, a definite rich second generation, so domineering!
"Alright, I won't be polite with you then. If you ever want to play Go, just come find me."
"Brother Yang is straightforward!"
Initially calling him Yang Xiao, then Master Yang, and now Brother Yang, the emotional distance had significantly lessened.
Qin Lu paid one million Crystal Coins, and the saleslady mentioned that it would take three months to receive the sword.
Qin Lu explained to Yang Xiao:
"This blacksmith shop only takes orders; they need to send the order back to the blacksmith headquarters on Witch Star to be made. Once finished, it will be delivered by the spaceship traveling between Witch Star and Purple Origin Star,
don't worry, once the weapon arrives, I will send it to you."
Upon leaving the Blacksmith Shop, Yang Xiao and he strolled around. As dusk fell, the lights in Karachi City slowly came on, especially the orange glow above the valley that looked like a giant light dome covering the vast valley, twinkling faintly in the night, truly spectacular.
"Brother Qin, what Level are the Mutant Monsters on Purple Origin Star usually?"
"There are all Levels, with the more formidable ones being Emperor Level. In fact, once they reach Emperor Level, these monsters can transform into human forms."
"Like Wild People, right?"
"Wild People are one of the races, believed to have evolved from ape genes. After tens of thousands of years of Evolution, Wild People have become a unique race. They were once the rulers of this planet,
and those Mutant Monsters that evolve into human form at Emperor Level are what we call demons or mutants. Brother Yang, if you ever meet such mutants, be careful."
"Oh?"
"These monsters, after consuming humans, can absorb our Evolution Energy, aiding them in accelerating their Genetic Evolution, so they attack humans ferociously upon sight. You must have encountered such incidents in the base, right?"
Yang Xiao nodded, thinking of the monsters attacking the base every night, relentlessly pressing forward even in face of death; now he finally understood that humans were their best Evolution resources.
This was akin to humans killing monsters and eating their flesh to enhance their own Genetic Evolution.
What a natural cycle!
After interacting with Qin Lu for half a day, Yang Xiao found out, apart from some typical rich second-generation arrogance in sizing people up, Qin Lu wasn't really a bad person.
He spoke his mind, played no excessive mind games, and even often showed off his wealth and generosity, happy to resolve minor issues with a bit of money.
How else could one let others know they are a rich second generation?
Yang Xiao thought, I wouldn't mind having a dozen friends like this wealthy character!
David's two guards followed Yang Xiao throughout and didn't talk much except occasionally.
Yang Xiao knew that the guards David provided served partly to protect him and partly to keep an eye on him.
Some things are better left unsaid for they lose their essence once revealed.
For Yang Xiao, David currently played a significant role, as he needed to use this platform provided by David to slowly reach out to other layers of society.
For instance, Elder Qin and his son.
After dining outside, the two returned to the hotel together. They had just left the restaurant when five people approached them and blocked Yang Xiao and his group.
Yang Xiao looked up and saw it was the three people from the Zhenlong Chess Art Hall setting up the chess game.
Besides the three of them, there were also two Iron Tower Warriors in golden armor following behind.
Qin Lu's expression changed when he saw the two Golden Iron Tower Warriors.
The chubby man chuckled to Yang Xiao, saying:
"Karachi City is really too small, we meet again."
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"Fair play, are you three here to trouble me?"
"Ha ha, it's just a few million Crystal Coins, how could that impress us? My main reason for setting up the chess game isn't to make money. I've had that game set up for five or six days and no one could decipher it. How did you manage to see through it?"
"Hey, who are you? Don't mess around!"
Qin Lu chided, his voice trembling slightly, but at least he stood up.
The two guards behind Yang Xiao also immediately stepped forward to shield him.
The chubby man chuckled, waved his hand, and the two Golden Iron Tower Warriors stepped forwards, radiating a powerful force like a huge wave, instantly pushing Qin Lu and the two guards aside.
However, the force was controlled very precisely; Yang Xiao only felt a strong oppressive force attack in front of him, but it abruptly stopped.
It's like standing by the sea, with huge waves hitting the shore, raising waves several meters high, which then turn back instantly.
You can feel the force of the waves crashing, but you won't be swept away, at most a few drops of seawater splash onto your face.
"We don't mean any harm; we just want to ask this friend some questions, but don't force me to take action."
The chubby man said coldly.
Qin Lu and the two guards were embarrassingly red-faced, and their internal fear need not be stated; the difference in strength was too great.
They were already shocked when they saw the Golden Iron Tower Guard.
Karachi City was originally a colonial city with poor social security; killings, monster attacks, and disputes over interests happen daily. Most personal grudges are handled through individual strength; the one with the harder fist is the justified one.
Only in some impactful matters do the city managers step in to mediate, like bases should not plunder and attack each other; this is an ironclad rule affecting everyone's interests, and no one can violate it without facing severe punishment.
And some minor matters aren't managed by anyone; it's fairly normal for a few to die on the streets, most likely just throwing the bodies into the valley to feed the wild beasts.
Yang Xiao estimated that the other party wasn't seeking revenge; otherwise, with such formidable strength, they would have killed him already.
Yang Xiao had seen Silver Armor Iron Tower Guards on Earth; this was the first time seeing the Golden Armor Iron Tower Guards. From what he understood, Iron Tower Guards are categorized into different ranks: Black Armor Guard, Silver Armor Guard, and Golden Armor Guard.
Although they are all highly intelligent robots, each one is more powerful and more expensive than the last.
Having a Golden Armor Iron Tower Guard indicated a significant background, otherwise, even a primary-level rich second generation like Qin Lu would feel fear.
Yang Xiao said indifferently:
"Your scam might deceive the average person since everyone thinks the black side is bound to lose. However, in my eyes, the black side hasn't lost, which is why I bet on them."
"You can tell the black side hasn't lost?"
The chubby man was inwardly shocked.
"Heh, even if you play white and I play black, I would still beat you badly."
Yang Xiao wore a confident air.
The chubby man and the two people beside him looked at Yang Xiao in shock: "@#¥%"
"Blowing your own trumpet?"
The elderly man beside said.
"How about we play a game now?"
Yang Xiao said.
