Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 25: Full Set of 9-Series Equipment

Around noon, Lu Jin rushed back to the Weiqu Martial Arts Supply Base.

"Good heavens, who is this? They're practically buried in their backpacks! Could it be filled with beast-soldier-grade materials?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! This guy's materials are at least of the Beast General level, and he comes like this every three or four days."

"I heard that this person is the number one genius in our Jiangnan Base City, and also a mentalist. When he kills Beast General-level monsters, it's like cutting melons and vegetables."

“I saw him in city 046 a few days ago. Good heavens, a high-level beast general-level bloodthirsty tank with a large group of beast soldiers couldn’t do anything to this young master. I suppose even if he’s not a war god-level mental master, he’s not far off.”

When Lu Jin walked into the supply base carrying three bulging backpacks, the martial artists around him immediately began to discuss the matter.

Hearing the crowd's discussion, especially the one who said he had seen him in city 046, Lu Jin's face darkened.

Normally, if it were any other martial artist, it wouldn't be a problem if someone watched from a distance, as long as they didn't get in the way or cause any damage.

But Lu Jin is different. The spoils he can collect are not only monster materials, but also monster corpses. After all, monster corpses can be transformed into life source crystals after being decomposed by the Demon Refining Pot.

However, whenever there were other people present, Lu Jin dared not collect the corpse, lest he expose the Demon Refining Pot or the storage equipment (external space) he possessed.

In this way, the fact that these martial arts teams were resting and watching from a distance did indeed affect his ability to use cheat codes to some extent.

Lu Jin secretly made up his mind that he would try to go further away when hunting in the wild in the future. Anyway, the Yanhuang land is so big, there are plenty of no-man's lands where monsters roam.

Before long, Lu Jin walked into a Weifang purchasing site.

"Haha, Brother Lu, welcome, welcome."

A middle-aged guard stepped forward with a smile to greet him.

"Brother Kun, this time there are sixteen beast generals."

As he spoke, Lu Jin took off the three large backpacks he was carrying.

The middle-aged guard officer was named Cai Kun. He was recommended to Li Yunqian and belonged to the Logistics Department. He was one of the guard officers in the Southern Guard District responsible for acquiring monster materials.

Lu Jin had already made a phone call before returning to the supply base.

"Excellent! Brother Lu truly deserves to be the most dazzling rising star in our Nanwei District!"

Cai Kun gave a thumbs up.

Including this time, in just half a month, Lu Jin has already sold materials for nearly a hundred beast general-level monsters to him.

"Elementary Beast General level Tiger and Dog, 400 million Yanhuang coins, 2000 contribution points."

"Mid-level Beast General Black Scale Python, 8000 million Yanhuang Coins, 40000 Contribution Points."

"High-level Beast General Four-Tailed Tiger Cat, 5400 million Yanhuang Coins, 27000 Contribution Points."

The price of monster materials is affected by many factors, and it's not necessarily true that higher-level materials are always more expensive.

Take the Black Scale Python, for example. Its scales are exceptionally sturdy, and its size is so large that the cost of its materials far exceeds that of ordinary monsters of the same level.

After taking a look, Cai Kun readily transferred the money to Lu Jin's bank card and then congratulated him, saying, "Brother Lu, congratulations, your contribution points have reached three stars."

I must say, quite a few people in our Nanwei District have reached the three-star contribution level, but Brother Lu, you are definitely the youngest one!

After selling the materials from the sixteen Beast General-level monsters, Lu Jin has accumulated over one million contribution points, achieving a three-star contribution point level.

Similarly, achieving a three-star contribution point means that the total price of the monster materials that Lu Jin sold to Wei Fang has exceeded two billion Yanhuang coins.

"Ha~, Kun-ge, don't flatter me."

Lu Jin smiled and waved his hand as he spoke.

"I'm not exaggerating, I'm just stating the facts," Cai Kun denied earnestly.

After chatting for a few minutes, Lu Jin left the acquisition site and, after lunch, returned to the villa that Wei Fang had arranged for him at the supply base.

On the second floor of the villa, in the media room, Lu Jin, having changed his clothes, ascended to the 'Yanhuang Home'.

With over two billion yuan in his pocket, it's time to spend it.

However, although 2 billion Yanhuang coins seem like a lot, it's clearly not enough to buy high-level equipment.

Putting aside everything else, a 9-series (S-grade) Breaking Army Battle Sword that can break through the defenses of a high-level lord would still cost a full 15 billion Yanhuang coins, even with a 50% discount.

The 9-series combat suit, capable of withstanding the bites of high-level lord monsters, is even more expensive, costing 60 billion Yanhuang coins even at half price.

The harsh reality is that Lu Jin, despite having two billion yuan in his hands, is still a penniless man.

纠结片刻，路锦准备购买9系破军战剑、9系六菱盾牌、12柄9系飞刀，以及一套7系作战服。

Due to limited financial resources, the costume change plan had to be scaled back.

Furthermore, there's no need to buy the best combat suit. One level higher than your own martial arts realm is enough. After all, no matter how good the quality of the combat suit is, it can't withstand attacks from monsters two levels higher than yourself.

9系破军战剑半价15亿，9系六菱盾牌半价7.5亿，9系飞刀半价2250万一柄，十二柄就是2.7亿，7系作战服半价1.2亿，合计26.4亿炎黄币。

It exceeded Lu Jin's savings?

Lu Jin wasn't worried about this; he took out his phone and called his grandfather, Li Dawei.

"Dududu-"

As soon as the call connected, Lu Jin said, "Grandpa, could you help me buy some equipment at the War God Palace?"

As long as you reach the required contribution points, all equipment sold by Yanhuang House will be offered at a 50% discount.

However, the half-price discount is not the best price. The place on Earth where equipment is sold cheaply is the War God Palace, which only War God Warriors are qualified to join.

For example, a level 9 Breaking Army War Sword costs 30 billion at full price in the Yanhuang Family and 15 billion at half price, but in the War God Palace, a level 9 Breaking Army War Sword only costs 10 billion Yanhuang coins.

Compared to the Yanhuang House, the equipment sold in the War God Palace is generally only two-thirds of the former's half-price discount.

The equipment from the Yanhuang Family, which is half-price and totals 26.4 billion Yanhuang coins, would only cost less than 18 billion in the War God Palace. By entrusting the old man, who is a member of the War God Palace, to purchase it on his behalf, he can save a lot of money.

That evening, the equipment that Lu Jin had asked the old man to buy on his behalf arrived.

Moreover, perhaps because the old man felt sorry for his grandson, all the other equipment was of the 9 series, but the combat uniform was only of the 7 series. He quietly took out his own money to exchange the 7 series combat uniform that Lu Jin wanted for a 9 series combat uniform.

At this point, all of Lu Jin's equipment had been upgraded to 9-element equipment. As long as his own strength was sufficient, he could deal with any monster below the King level.

'Nearly 40 small goals, no wonder he's such a loving grandfather!'

Lu Jin felt secretly grateful.

Even for the War God Palace, the 9-series combat suit would require 40 billion Yanhuang coins.

Without a doubt, once he takes off completely, his uncle and maternal grandfather will at least become immortal gods.

Well, immortal gods are still a bit low-level. As long as you are willing to spend rare resources, even the Lord of the Universe or the True God cannot guarantee anything, but the Venerable of the Universe should be no problem.
