Pirated Sci-fi Dress (Chapter 208)
Looking at the introduction of this long sword, a look of surprise appeared on Ye Sheng's face, and she couldn't help but let out a small exclamation.
She never expected that the items sold in the team store had evolved to such an extent!
Just reading the introduction makes her heart flutter.
Always using the lottery golden finger to draw and draw, Ye Sheng felt a strong urge in her heart.
Holding the relatively heavy long sword in her hand, she looked around to see if there was a place to try it out.
After all, nothing in the team store is cheap. If she bought it without trying it first and it turned out to be unsuitable, there would be no returns or exchanges.
Team points aren't like cabbage in the fields, easily found everywhere; instead, they are quite difficult to obtain.
So, Ye Sheng deduced that the team store should have a trial area, and after scanning the area carefully, she actually found it!
Right in the center of the store, there was a cylindrical room, enclosed by a transparent, glass-like material, about thirty square meters in size, with plenty of space.
At that moment, a person holding a black sphere walked into the cylindrical room and, the next second, threw the sphere on the ground.
Soon, the sphere wobbled on the ground, and a pair of mechanical arms extended from it.
Then, like magic, a small black sphere transformed into a robot over a meter tall, with red electronic eyes blinking, its humanoid appearance resembles a dwarf.
Watching the entire process, Ye Sheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and it was Gu Luoyu beside her who helped lift her chin.
Smiling, Gu Luoyu explained: “It's just a useless gadget cooked up by the base research institute. Besides looking decent, it has no other advantages. It can't fight. If I had to describe it, it's probably just a humanoid super smart wristwatch that can slide and walk!”
After Gu Luoyu's explanation, Ye Sheng's initially excited heart settled back down.
It was like thinking she had entered the Matrix, only to find out it was a pirated version with a sci-fi skin!
She frowned and somewhat puzzled: “A humanoid super smart wristwatch? What's it for?”
“Probably just for looks! After all, the process of transforming from a black sphere to a robot looks impressive.”
Ye Sheng fell silent, feeling that Gu Luoyu was right. However, who would spend a fortune on such an impractical thing... Yet, just as Ye Sheng was thinking this, the person who had finished trying it out swiped their card with satisfaction.
They directly spent team points to buy the black sphere robot.
Ye Sheng: ...
It seems the world is full of biodiversity, with all kinds of ideas.
Noticing the surprise in Ye Sheng's eyes, Gu Luoyu remained calm and reminded her, “Most of the people who come here are team captains, and captains have a share of the team mission rewards, equivalent to interest on deposits. Therefore, obtaining team points isn't difficult, and although this black sphere is useless, carrying it around has its uses.”
For example, having expensive equipment represents the strength of the team, attracting others to join.
It's like a snowball, growing bigger and bigger.
It's all about face!
While explaining this to Ye Sheng, Gu Luoyu also gave a few examples, leaving Ye Sheng stunned. Meanwhile, the two of them took the Thunder Sword into the cylindrical room to try it out.
However, because the sword was too heavy, Ye Sheng couldn't lift it at all.
Thus, the testing had to be done by Gu Luoyu. She effortlessly held the sword with one hand, and with the remaining energy of the sword itself, it indeed produced bursts of thunder.
Although the power was unknown for now, the momentum alone was impressive.
Then...
Gu Luoyu swung the sword, and the thunder stopped suddenly.
When Ye Sheng looked over in confusion, she saw that the Thunder Sword had split in two, breaking directly in the middle!
Such an unexpected incident was shocking, and soon, a staff member from the team store came over to handle the situation. Looking at the shattered sword, a look of disbelief also appeared on his face.
This Thunder Sword had overwhelmed countless tests before being sent here and should never have had quality issues... Otherwise, if the weapon broke during wilderness combat, it would mean certain death.
The base authorities will never allow such a situation to happen.
However, after reviewing the store's surveillance footage several times, it shows the sword breaking smoothly, without any apparent reason.
After having the staff check several times and inquiring about Gu Luoyu and Ye Sheng's identities, upon hearing that Gu Luoyu was a psychic, the staff member's confusion was resolved.
Case closed.
So it was an Esper.
The reason Espers in the base can only use specialized weapons is that using ordinary weapons would damage them, while specialized weapons, due to their unique materials, are much more durable.
At this moment, the staff member looked somewhat helplessly at the broken sword but dared not raise his voice at the Esper. He could only politely remind, “Respected Esper guest, the items in the team store are only suitable for ordinary people. Someone as powerful as you can only use specialized weapons.”
He was almost saying, don't cause trouble here, go somewhere else!
With the staff member's reminder, Ye Sheng now knew that the gifted weapon was hers.
However, after browsing around, she found that the melee weapons in the team store were either too heavy or required too much skill, none of which suited her.
She could only choose a ranged weapon.
She didn't know how to use a bow, so that was out; guns had too much recoil, so that was out... After crossing out several options, Ye Sheng finally picked a suitable weapon.
A silver crossbow engraved with patterns!
Speaking of which, the weapon Ye Sheng had previously found very suitable was the crossbow gifted by the mercenary captain. It had accompanied her in “battles” and had been extremely useful.
However, as her abilities gradually increased, the crossbow's damage became less and less, and it eventually had to retire... Until now, it was still kept in her Ruyi pouch as a memento.
Therefore, when Ye Sheng saw this crossbow, her eyes lit up, feeling a strong sense of familiarity.
Besides being visually appealing, its functions were also good. Just the 15% increase in arrow damage was already great... As for how to increase the damage, the key was that after the crossbow absorbed energy, it could attach it to the arrows, causing significant damage.
Speaking of which, most of the weapons in the team store consume energy stones, so it's predictable that the base's energy stones will rise in price.
Fortunately, she still has many energy stones in her Ruyi pouch.
Enough to use.
As Ye Sheng pondered the base's research on energy stones, the staff member who had been lingering nearby had a thought.
Looking at these two young guests, he felt he could successfully sell some of the unsold items.
So, the staff member smiled and said to Ye Sheng, “Ma'am, would you like to take a look at something else, like this Communication Sound? It's a pair of rings that allow unlimited distance communication, an essential item for couples~”
