“This is very respectable.” Feng Rui was unable to understand and reiterated. “Think about it, when you go out on a mission, people use knives and draw swords, and they are still in the era of cold steel weapons. When you show your weapon, tada~ A laser sword, it looks extremely respectable.”
Respectable your head.
Li Xianyu still shook his head. To tell the truth was really cool, but this item was not suitable to use in public. Others used steel weapons and there’s you using Star Wars-esque weapons, it feels really flashy.
It wouldn’t have been good if he were to be seen by ordinary people. Finally, his cultivation in practicing qi was so common that he didn’t feel confident enough to fight a drawn-out battle. With that little amount of zhenqi, he could only summon a 5-cm blade, while others could summon a half-meter-long blade... Although this is the standard size for men.
Feng Rui wanted to continue persuading but Lightning King shook his head.
“Well, we have a lot of devices and weapons here. I’ll pick a more respectable one for you.” Feng Rui hung the sword handle back on the wall and picked out a magic device similar to an armguard. The alloy shell was engraved with seal runes and there were nine small holes on the armguard.
Feng Rui put on the armguard, and it covered his whole forearm. “This item is very powerful. It is an integration of both technology and Taoist practices. See the runes on it? It can summon thunder talismans and call down the nine thunderbolts from the heavens. With zhenqi to stimulate, it can trigger nine heavenly thunderbolts, and the destructive power is very amazing. In addition, there is a built-in high-voltage current that can emit 100,000 volts. It can be used for both attack or melee.”
Feng Rui lifted up his left arm, the back of his right arm was cushioned on his left elbow, and he made beeping sounds with his mouth.
His action brought Li Xianyu back to his childhood. “Ultraman?!”
“You could tell?” Feng Rui had an expression of respect. “Yes, it is imitating Ultraman’s dynamic light wave. It won last year’s creative award of the year. It’s a great item.”
Li Xianyu was speechless.
All of a sudden, I’m not interested in exclusive devices.
Lightning King asked quietly, “Is there anything else? Defensive items?”
Disappointed, Feng Rui put down his armguard, and picked out items for a long time. Finally, he pushed over a scale used for hiding at the corner of the table.
The scale was turquoise and black, and the size of two palms. The inner side of the scale was painted with a golden symbol that looked like this: 卍.
“What is this?” Li Xianyu finally saw a weapon with the aesthetic of immortal-cultivation.
Feng Rui explained, “This is the inverse scale peeled off from a mythical flood dragon. During the founding of the country, two gargantuan flood dragons emerged from the deep mountains of the Yungui area. They devoured livestock, people, and wreaked havoc in the area. They were expelled by the local demon descendants. Later, after fleeing into the Yangtze River, they laid dormant for several years. But they began to make waves and capsized ships that passed by. In those years, reports of a water monster in the Yangtze River could be heard everywhere. Once, when Buddhist Head travelled out to spread the Taoist ways, on the way to the temple, he came across that area by boat. He encountered the two massive flood dragons wrecking havoc, so he stepped in to suppress them and removed their inverse scales.”
“The two inverse scales were brought back to the temple by Buddha Head, edified by incense and fire, and nourished with a Buddhist spiritual aura for tens of years, which was turned into a Dharma instrument. When Baoze Group took over the responsibilities of the Buddhist Society, Buddha Head made them into Buddha’s warrior attendants and gave them to Baoze. Wearing them was akin to having a warrior attendant as your protector. You would be invincible, and invulnerable to water and fire, and knives and spears.”
“Where’s the other piece?”
“I remember it was exchanged by Thunderbolt Battle Lady last year.” Feng Rui looked at Lightning King, who nodded.
“Then I’ll take it,” Li Xianyu immediately said.
It was interesting to think that he had a couple instrument with Battle Lady.
Lightning King said, “That’s it then. Three hundred points, Feng Rui. You can exchange those two sets of instruments for him.”
“Huh?” Feng Rui looked suspicious. “Lightning King, are you serious, three exclusive instruments, that will cost 600 points.”
“Come on, just those two useless devices, you can place them here for ten years and no one would want them.” Lightning King remarked exasperatedly, “Besides, the young man here is not old and is cunning. I told you to bring some good items, and you give me some useless goods to deceive newbies.”
“It’s not deceit. It’s really cool. We’re all respectable people. What kind of deceit are you talking about?” Feng Rui muttered.
“Because it’s so respectable, no one wants it. Last year your equipment department had to engage in some creative competition and put together a bunch of strange inventions? As a result, your equipment department just had loads of fun, but the law enforcement colleagues don’t even want to have a look at it. If you can’t exchange it out this year, I’ll apply for withholding the funds from your equipment department.”
“Okay, fine. Alright. Three hundred fifty points, you take it.” Feng Rui had an expression of constipation.
“Three hundred points, nothing more.”
“Three hundred twenty points.”
“Deal.”
Li Xianyu wanted to say he didn’t want it, but Lightning King stopped him with a look.
“By the way, give me another wallet.”
“You want to buy one get three free, that’s too much.”
“A standard wallet device, for this boy, I’ll write you a form later, we’ll go through the formal process.”
“No, this batch of wallets are made from man-made leather and are not respectable. Wait for a while, I’ll give you a real leather wallet.” Feng Rui said, “Everyone is a respectable person.”
Li Xianyu blurted out, “Is that Li Shizhen’s skin?”
Fengrui replied, “No no no, we don’t use human skin. Animal skin is enough.”
Lightning King said, “Then use it first, and then change it when you have real leather.”
He knew that Feng Rui attached great importance to the word ‘respectable’, so he didn’t bother to care with him and tried to follow his wishes.
Feng Rui went out to pick up the wallet, and Lightning King said, “Although these two things are flashy, but the lethality is real. One more magic weapon is equivalent to one more means. You know about your own situation, that’s all the company can give you.”
Li Xianyu was very moved, Lightning King and Battle Lady were both very gentle people.
Lightning King arranged the three instruments neatly, took pictures, and posted moments in his social media feed. “The new employee of the company, lacks ability and has insufficient means, I paid out of my own pocket to exchange three pieces of magic devices. Protecting and loving younglings starts from me. I would never say the name of the new employee is Li Xianyu.”
In this social media, he blocked all friends, but only one person could see it: the Unparalleled War Spirit.
On the day Li Xianyu was resurrected, he added Great-Grandma as a friend.
“Lightning King, about the points...”
“Think of it as a gift to you.”
“Lightning King, you are too nice.” Li Xianyu was very touched.
...
Lightning King was very busy so after helping Li Xianyu to settle the device, he immediately went back to the office to deal with affairs.
Li Xianyu felt hungry again, so he pressed the key on the top floor and was ready to go to the revolving restaurant for another meal. Self- recovery powers consume so many calories that he eats two or three more times a day than others, and that food is converted into energy and stored in his cells.
He fumbled for his wallet, a spatial magic device with ten cubic meters of storage space in it. Li Xianyu hasn’t figured out what to put in. Tongtong’s space skirt was full of snacks, and San Wu’s one contained bricks. According to her, because bricks were cheap and cost-effective, so her space device was full of bricks. Li Xianyu once wondered why San Wu didn’t use gatling guns. Gatling guns would be her enemies’ nightmare with her precise strike power. Coupled with the speed at which Gatling guns fired with hundreds of bullets per second, that would be terrifying.
When he woke up, he knew that his superpowers also had limits, and there was no such fantasy.
At Gatling’s guns rate of fire, San Wu would be exhausted in less than a few seconds.
When he stepped into the revolving restaurant, he suddenly heard a beautiful and moving sound of piano keys tinkling.
At the corner of the revolving restaurant, beside the window, there was a bright piano with a beautiful lady sitting beside the piano, back facing him. Her slender fingers tapped on the keystrokes, as the sun lit up her golden hair, the scene glimmering.
Her blue eyes reflected the morning light, like the blue sea sparkling. That was the beauty from America, Victoria.
He had to admit that some people were born with their own halo. This mesmerizing scene should appear in oil paintings, or beautiful 2D worlds. In the empty piano room, the curtains billowed. There was a piano by the window, and the sunlight shone on the girl’s thin figure. Her blond hair billowed with the curtains.
Li Xianyu was deeply charmed by the scene.
