First, the Explosive Gene Gift could only be redeemed on the third floor, meaning this Gene Endowment was immediately usable.
It sounded somewhat like transformation-type ammunition, where they combined Ability to create bullets or bombs. With this Gene Endowment, these powers would become even stronger. Additionally, with the enhancement from Restraint, the power would undoubtedly increase even more.
It seemed that Mackey had also made up his mind to accept this approach. After Mackey redeemed this ability, he proceeded down to the second floor.
Next was the Alchemical Arrow that Ross needed. He chose only two, as he had already spent over half of his Reward Points. He replaced the rest with some ordinary arrows. The destructive power of Shooting Sun was quite Astonishing, and Ross also redeemed a pair of Hundredfold Telescope, resembling a pair of glasses, which meant he no longer had to worry about distant enemies.
This time, Ross's expenses should be relatively low because the value of the Shooting Sun, an Alchemical Weapon, was worth tens of thousands. However, thanks to the exemption from costs provided by the President, he only needed to use a portion of his Reward Points to purchase some arrows, making it quite a bargain.
Next came the matter of Relock. The old man's Sniper Rifle didn't seem very powerful. Although it could easily kill a bug at a distance of one hundred meters, for those bugs, that distance was merely a blink away, and they would quickly close in.
“The Gauss Series includes more than just handguns; there’s also the Gauss Sniper Rifle. Among the Gauss Bullet, the most powerful is the explosive round, which I think would suit you perfectly. The price seems reasonable, but currently, not every team member can obtain one of these weapons, let alone mass-produce them. So I’ll redeem one for you. With your aim within a kilometer and using Gauss Bullet, you should be able to snipe a soldier from a bug without any issues. After all, this rifle has considerable power; that’s clear from its description,” replied Freyr.
Weapons from the Gauss Series have always been in high demand among marksmen. Many in the association use weapons from this series, especially since the invention of Alchemical Weapons has led to an increase in sales for Gauss Weapons. The cost of using Alchemical Weapons is prohibitively high due to their consumption of Reward Points, and they require Elemental Power to operate. If there isn’t a sufficient supply of ammunition, one cannot fire indiscriminately; they can only be used in critical situations. In contrast, the consumption of weapons and ammunition from the Gauss Bullet series is significantly lower, which is why many teams favor them.
Marksmen prefer unlimited firing capabilities. Even though Relock possessed that once-famous sniper rifle, he had no intention of giving it up. Many still relied on outdated weapons for ranged attacks; such weapons didn’t require consideration of costs for ammunition and seemed equally effective. At distances up to one hundred meters, they could inflict light wounds or deliver fatal blows by hitting vital spots. Meanwhile, with a Gauss sniper rifle, one could kill enemies at a kilometer range, causing anything from light injuries to severe damage.
After scanning the barcode, the Gauss Sniper Rifle quietly landed on the ground. Relock picked up the sniper rifle and slung it over his shoulder while placing the redeemed sniper bullets and explosive rounds into his Storage Ring.
“Hahaha, now it’s my turn.”
All five members of the team had redeemed their preferred items. After comparing their practicality, everything seemed quite satisfactory. Therefore, even if it meant spending a bit more on rewards, they aimed to satisfy everyone as much as possible. Next, Freyr moved back and forth among the exhibits; he felt dazzled just by looking at them, creating an awkward situation.
However, after some comparison, he realized that his Sword and Armor needed an upgrade. Therefore, he spent 4,000 Reward Points to exchange for a set of Lightweight Material Armor, which could defend against impacts of up to 40 pounds. With this Armor, even in group battles, victory would be easily within reach. He then exchanged for an Aterkan Longsword, forged from steel that had been tempered to be harder than refined steel.
This Aterkan Longsword was named Ice Soul, with a chilling blade that emanated a cold killing intent, its aura carrying a low temperature.
Thus, this Ice Soul was perfect for someone with an assassin's physique. He had always preferred using knives and swords; the previous sword he owned had long been lost. The renowned Refined Steel Sword could slice through fine jade, and such high-quality materials warranted the expenditure of thousands in Score.
With this, he had acquired a weapon for offense and one for defense, significantly increasing his chances of survival compared to before.
After exchanging for these two items, he refrained from getting anything else for himself since he was the Commander and prioritized the requests of his team members. He decided to check on his off-road vehicle next; he wondered how it had fared since he brought it back. He had spent quite a bit on it, and if there were still some Score left on his Merit Card, it should be enough to enhance the vehicle overall.
Running out of Wanderer's Home, he found his off-road vehicle in the garage. It appeared to be in good condition aside from a few dents; there were no other visible damages. The engine was functioning normally, and the rest of the vehicle had been waxed, maintaining its shiny appearance. It seemed someone had been taking care of it while he was away.
As for the others, they were unclear about what to do next. Now that they had acquired good items, they felt there was no point in exchanging for more things and decided to head downstairs instead.
The staff watched in astonishment as they displayed their weapons but did not stop them from leaving since they had paid with Score and legally obtained their items. The volume of transactions was estimated to be more than a quarter of that day's total—likely the largest deal in recent days—and they were part of the youngest team ever to achieve such a feat, albeit still classified as a Soldier-Level Hunter Team.
They weren't planning on buying anything else anyway; they simply wanted to take a stroll and perhaps come up with new ideas along the way.
Xiong Tai held his Thunder Hammer and shook it slightly whenever he encountered someone, as if asking, "Is this mine?" Indeed, those who passed by turned their gazes toward him but inwardly cursed this fool for always showing off.
Naturally, he was oblivious to their thoughts and continued flaunting his weapon. This behavior seemed aimed at drawing attention to himself and boosting his vanity—men's pride truly is a strange thing.
Once outside, they felt even more lost after wandering around for a whole circle without finding a suitable way forward.
"We used to always think about finding something to do when we had nothing going on, but now that we suddenly have such a great weapon, we find ourselves at a loss for what to do. Are we being foolish? This is really awkward. Oh, someone give us a good idea," Xiong Tai said, walking with his head in his hands, looking utterly distressed. Seeing their expressions, a hint of confusion crept into the others as well. Then someone in the group spoke up, "By the way, where did Freyr go? We're all bored; let's go check on him. He should be busy, but it would be nice to pass the time together."
