Weapon seller in the world of magic

Genesis Weapon store, Imperial City;

”Here is the remaining payment.” Mark handed about 19 pouches filled with 5000 gold coins in each and another pouch with 145 gold coins to Merchant Zheng Ha upon receiving the goods.

Adding 30k gold coins of advance payment, Mark had given him about 125145 gold coins in total, of which the order is 121,500 gold coins. The remaining 3645 gold coins are Zheng Ha’s commission fee.

The merchant was very happy to score it big and felt like his hard work had paid off. On the other hand, Mark’s wealth dropped down to below 100k for the first time since he had extorted that amount from the noble clans.

Fortunately, there are still pending orders, and once they are completed, his unaccounted money will not only turn into his official wealth but also increase further after the remaining amount is being paid.

Either way, it doesn’t matter to Mark at the moment as his mind was preoccupied with something else.

After their transaction is over, except for 300 barrels of oil, which is a continuous supply every week, Mark then gave the invitation to the merchant.

Like others, Zheng Ha also heard of the rumors of Mark and Song Yue’s love story. So, he wasn’t that surprised at the news of their engagement ceremony and expressed his joy, ”Thank you for the invitation, Owner Lu. I will surely attend.”

Once the merchant left the store, Mark kept both of the storage rings, one that contained the materials and the other that contained the barrels of oil, in his inventory and continued his business.

Roughly about an hour later, Alina returned and reported to Mark that she had handed the invitation directly to Shang Jiao as she couldn’t meet the Emperor or the Queen consort. She didn’t also forget to mention her encounter with the crown prince.

Mark frowned in displeasure when he heard that. He already had a bad impression of the crown prince who dragged him to the public trial. His impression worsened and decided to teach his eldest half-brother a lesson in the future.

On the other hand, Song Yue didn’t think too much about it. Maybe, it is due to the fact that she is aware of Shang Zexi’s worse personality or maybe, she was unconsciously thinking that Alina is a puppet and wasn’t a matter of concern.

Whatever the case, she didn’t comment on the matter and directly asked what she was curious about. ”Then, did you find out why she was absent for the past three days?”

Mark put aside his thoughts on the crown prince and looked at Alina. After all, he needed to know whether his sister heard something or not. The latter answered, ”Princess Jiao said that she was grounded for a week for disobedience.”

Mark doesn’t know what to think of that excuse but he wouldn’t mind if she doesn’t come to the store anyway. He simply nodded, ”alright.”

Meanwhile, Song Yue was slightly disappointed as she nodded in understanding, ”I see…”

Another 10 minutes later, Allen returned with a message from Lin Wuying. Song Yue was once again disappointed, this time it is not only because she missed her best friend’s presence but she was also a little bit guilty for bringing trouble to Lin Xue.

Slowly, the time passed and the lunch break arrived.

After everyone ate together like a family, Mark stayed behind while the others returned downstairs to resume the business. Of course, just before they left, he didn’t forget to absorb 3 points of luck from Chang Bo.

Once he was left alone upstairs apart from the sleeping cat and the manticore, he returned to his room and quickly opened the Lottery Wheel as he had already wasted more than ninety seconds since he absorbed the luck points.

The lottery wheel, at present, had only three items left with the rest of the 18 spaces empty. But, having a failure is no longer possible because of the current 10 luck points.

[Peak potion] [Reconnaissance Satellite] [Light Combat Aircraft]

”Here we go…”

Hoping to acquire the peak potion, Mark pressed on the spin. 300 credits were deducted from his account and the wheel started spinning. He had great expectations to get that potion so that he can finish his inheritance but as the wheel stopped, he couldn’t but let out a sigh.

*Ding! Congratulations, you won Light Combat Aircraft. The item has been sent to your inventory.

*Ding! You unlocked R-73 air-to-air missile

*Ding! You unlocked the S-13 rocket (120mm)

*Ding! You unlocked the S-25 rocket (Air to ground)

*Ding! You unlocked ZB-500 bombs (incendiary free-fall bombs)

”Sigh… Light combat aircraft aren’t that strong. They mostly have subsonic speeds and are usually equipped with bombs, gun pods, and short-range missiles. Not to mention, I need to build a runway for them.”

Mark would be happy with it if he received it at any time but at the moment, it wasn’t what he needed the most and he definitely wasn’t that pleased as he would have to wait for another week.

But then again, since he had already received a free gift, it wouldn’t hurt to look at its details.

”Open inventory.”

Mark clicked on the image of an aircraft. The details appeared on a new screen and he was dumbfounded for a moment.

”It’s a fuc*ing mass-produced one.” Mark couldn’t help but yelp in surprise as he had only expected another ether weapon. The thought of a mass-produced one never crossed his mind because so far, the system only gave him ether weapons from the lottery wheel.

Mark wasn’t any happier than now. All of his earlier displeasure was gone from him only to be replaced by excitement. Perhaps, the only issue left for him is to look for the right buyer with such a huge price but he would just think about it later and enjoy the present.

”Anyway, let’s continue with the next one.” Mark closed down the lottery wheel and opened the Statue of Velkazar for a free blessing. Without any expectations, he clicked on the worship button.

The statue on the interface glowed for a couple of seconds before giving him a reward.

*Ding! Congratulations, you received a random skill upgrade as a blessing from the statue of the Divine Dragon, Velkazar.

*Ding! Dismantling has been upgraded to ’The Devil’s Hand’

The Devil’s Hand: Dismantle any object that you can touch and exchange in equivalent credits. And in case the object has an owner (bound to one’s soul), then, you get 50% of equivalent credits as long as it is below Mythril grade (i.e. Semi divine and below). Cost: 0 ether points, CD: 0 seconds.

Mark’s eyes once again lit up and he clenched his fist to control his excitement, ”Yes, first, LCA, and then, an OP skill. 10 points of luck didn’t disappoint me, after all. Now, I have found another way to earn gold coins/credits. Hmm, I wonder if I can just dismantle Allen’s divine sword Aries. Even if it is bound to his soul, considering it is of Celestial grade, at the very least, I could earn atleast 50 million credits.”

As soon as the thought appeared in his head, a response came from the system right away.

*Ding! The host cannot dismantle the items that are bound to the host, Androids, or the system.

*Ding! If the host is interested to earn credits, the host can sell Allen along with the divine sword as a package for 100 million credits/meteor missiles.

”But, I have already lost the battle tank though.”

*Ding! Battle Tank-V will be returned. Do you wish to proceed with the exchange?

”Stop being ridiculous, there’s no way I would give up Allen. I was just thinking,” scoffed Mark as he instantly rejected its offer. For some reason, he had a strong feeling that it won’t be the last time the system will try to make him sell the male Android.

System: ’…’
