Chapter 24 - Purchasing a weapon
Chapter 24 - Purchasing a weapon
Maxmillan who had immediately shot to a really faraway place in the city with the Ultra-High Velocity Traversal Speed Boots still worn on his legs, settled on the rooftop of a really high building after soundlessly leaping from one structure to the other till he arrived there.
Once he got there and settled down with a smile of accomplishment beaming from his face, he immediately opened 'System Menu' and neurally clicked on [Item Market/Purchase Store].

After neurally clicking on [Weaponry], he was immediately presented with the [Weaponry] Tab which displayed the large numbers of items under it.

Maxmillan looked at the items listed in the first page of the Weapon Category and only shook his head in heart-stopping awe and excitement.
"What fearsome mass-obliterating weapons. I can't wait to have all these for my use. And if not for my sake, for my family's sake. I want to be able to protect them from every sort of danger that will come their way." Maxmillan said with a certain gleam of light shining in his eyes.
Then he said further, "Just as we have good-hearted Astra Spellcraft Commanders and righteously-inclined Astra Spellcraft Lords, there will be the diabolically evil, sinister and baleful ones. Brutal and indifferent, devilishly vicious lords that all they are concerned about is pleasurably killing and exterminating innocent people and acquiring more sinister power at the expense of lives of numerous thousands of people."
"I know such kind of people will definitely exist in many part of this world where the weak are devoured by the strong. So, I want the ability to be able to shield my family from the death-spreading cold hands of gloom and doom of these wicked lords and their minions." Maxmillan said with a determined spark in his eyes.

"This is nothing but marvelously astonishing!" Maxmillan said and shook his head in mind-blown awe once again, since without reading the details or descriptions of the items, he already knew to an extent what some of them could do.
Then he neurally clicked on [Next Page], heavily anticipating what he would find there.

"Marveling! And hugely mind-blowing!" Maxmillan said in an intensely excited manner, as these were weapons that would cause his head to swell to no end.
Actually, Maxmillan was a formidably-skilled soldier that was highly favoured by advanced-tech military research scientists in his last life, and therefore had effortless access to superb electronic devices and next-generation technological weapons with high firepower and high penetrability, since he was capable of unerringly utilizing them in battle and emerge triumphantly.
So, seeing the fearsomely named items listed under the [Weaponry] Category tab, Maxmillan couldn't help but fall in love with them, since they strongly invoked the feeling in him that they were pinnacle-tier technological weapons and were capable of imbuing him with the unequaled ability of god-mode savagery.
But once he contemplated that, his mind began to reel in fathomless amazement that he curiously asked within himself with his brows deeply furrowed, 'I wonder where this Transmigrator Survival System came from. Feels very much like an alien consciousness from an advanced planetary region millions of light-years away from earth.'
'I however suspect that it came from earth, like tens of millions of years in the future. Essentially because of the weapons and items that I have seen so far, which all look like something from earth but have been vastly improved and monstrously upgraded over eons of millennia.'
Maxmillan then said further with an indescribable light emitting from his fiercely gazing eyes, "Imagine being in possession of everything that the Transmigrator Survival System has to offer, I will definitely become god-like in this frigging world! Those overpowered Astra Spellcraft Lords will be exceedingly fearful of me. I will rule as I like. But I don't think I would want that, except protect my entire family."
Looking at the third page of the [Weaponry] item list in his vision once more, Maxmillan said, "I think I have seen enough. It's time to go through them to know which particular one I would like to buy and use in the system-prompted missions that are progressively becoming highly dangerous by the day. And I seriously hope it is something that I can afford with my available purchase points."
So, returning to the first page of the 'Weaponry' Category, Maxmillan opted for the the first item shown on the list.
——————————————————————
[Miniature Shockwave Arc Cannon]
——————————————————————
[Model: A-27X]
[Item Class: S-Class]
[Item Specialization: Wave Projection]
[Item Weight: 800 Pounds]
[Purchase Cost: 230,000 Points]
[Status: Available for purchase]
——————————————————————
[Characteristic/Function Specification]
——————————————————————
[Cannon is powered by a miniaturized fission reactor and can constantly produce great amount of atomic energy that will power the cannon's various electromechanical components and the point-focusing, wave-discharging weapon system that takes up more than 60% of the heavy cannon]
[Cannon possesses Shockwave Simulator Engine which perfectly imitates the Blast-wave that will immediately surface from a Fission Bomb explosion and perfectly reproduces it, but at a smaller scale]
[Cannon has a Wave Propagator which allows the simulated blast-wave to propagate from the Shockwave Simulator Engine to the Wave Compression and Amplification, Gravimetric-Compaction and Kinetic-Acceleration Hybrid Tubular Chamber, then finally to the 4-feet wide arc-shaped, Wave-Focusing Projector Muzzle where it is discharged out of it as a Super-Devastator Wave — An extremely destructive, long-distance converging solid-wave possessing terrifying devastating power.
{{/System Notice: Cannon's arc-shaped discharge muzzle can swiftly grow up to 15 feet in width through structural modification by nano-reconstruction/}}
[Cannon's components are made from a perfect combination of extremely tough, high temperature-resistant poly-metallic alloy with inherent molecular capability of rapid equal-dispersion of high-intensity composite-alloy melting heat and quick-adaptive resistance to damage]
——————————————————————
[Power Modes/Damage Rating]
——————————————————————
[Cannon Full Power Mode will allow Arc Cannon to unleash a 15-feet wide wave that possesses power to instantly pulverize more than seventy tall buildings in its path from a far-distance range]
[Cannon High Power Mode will allow Arc Cannon to unleash a 10-feet wide wave that possesses power to instantly pulverize more than forty tall buildings in its path from a far-distance range]
[Cannon Low Power Mode will allow Arc Cannon to unleash a 5-feet wide wave that possesses power to instantly pulverize more than fifteen tall buildings in its path from a far-distance range]
[Cannon Ultra-Low Power Mode will allow Cannon to unleash a 3-feet wide wave that will instantly punch a 10-feet deep hole in a 30-feet steel wall from a far-distance range]
——————————————————————
[Wave Discharge/Projection Tolerability]
——————————————————————
[Full-Powered Mode will allow Arc Cannon to produce only 6 Maximum-Power Super-Devastator Waves before entering Hibernation Mode to cool and prevent uncontrolled damage to cannon's internal components]
[High-Powered Mode will allow Arc Cannon to produce only 12 High-Power Super-Devastator Waves before entering Hibernation Mode to cool and prevent uncontrolled damage to cannon's internal components]
[Low-Powered Mode will allow Arc Cannon to produce only 30 Low-Power Super-Devastator Waves before entering Hibernation Mode to cool and prevent uncontrolled damage to cannon's internal components]
[Ultra Low-Powered Mode will allow Arc Cannon to produce only 70 Ultra Low-Power Super-Devastator Waves before entering Hibernation Mode to cool and prevent uncontrolled damage to cannon's internal components]

Immediately Maxmillan clicked neurally on the Arc Cannon to read through its detail and came across the shocking amounts of purchase points required to buy it, he couldn't help but shake his head in total disarray.
"It's going to be a really long while before I can purchase and use this particular weapon. In fact, virtually all the weapons here. Two hundred and thirty thousand points? Ugh! Let me back this and return to the menu to see if there is something nice and affordable that I can get, which I am beginning to feel very unsure of, since the very first item shown on the weaponry list starts with a staggering and dazing amounts of purchase cost."
"Anyway, nothing bad in checking them out. Let me go read through their characteristics and see how much they would be sold for." Maxmillan said with bleak hope in his heart.
But just as he was about to neurally click on [Return to List], a system message suddenly surfaced in his head.
——————————————————————
[System Alert!]
——————————————————————
[For accessing the [Weaponry] directory, a new directory; [Item Rent] has appeared in the [System Menu]]
——————————————————————
Would user like to open this directory?
[<Yes>/<No>]
——————————————————————
Maxmillan who immediately understood what was happening, replied with a yes, with hope beginning to blaze strongly within his heart.
He needed the weapon badly. Or his missions which would become progressively difficult if he doesn't level up in time, essentially due to the survival system gradually increasing the difficulty level of a task, or by the forced interactions/engagements of external forces, would become extremely hard to fulfill or accomplish.
——————————————————————
[Item Rent]
——————————————————————
[Miniature Shockwave Arc Cannon will costs: {2200 points to rent for only 10 mins} / {28,700 points to rent for only 4 hours} / {63,200 points to rent for only 1 day}]
{{/System Notification: Countdown to expiration of item rent will start from the minute Host deploys weapon for usage/}}
[System Warning: Host can only rent this item twice per month!]
——————————————————————
[Item Rentage Deal]
——————————————————————
{{/System Notification: After calculating the amounts of Purchase Points available to Host, Host can only rent item for 10 minutes at 2200 points, which would start counting as soon as Host deploys item for utilization/}}
[Accept Deal? <Yes>/<No>]
——————————————————————
After going through the message that abruptly popped in his head, Maxmillan mentioned, "Yes"
Although he wasn't really happy, but there was nothing he could do other than rent the weapon and use when he is faced with a nigh-insurmountable factor that would prevent his progress in his mission.
——————————————————————
[System Notification!]
——————————————————————
[Rent was successful!]
[Host can find rented item in the Inventory]
——————————————————————
Would user like to open [Inventory] to use item?
[<Yes>/<No>]
——————————————————————
"No." Maxmillan said.
Then the holographic screen in his vision went blank before minimizing till it would pop up again to display a new system message or notification alert.
Huuuuu!
Maxmillan inhaled a deep breath before steeling his mind for the mission that he would set out in the morning for, which was to return to the garage and unleash hell if they hadn't produced what he coercively requested for! His doting and loving mom's whereabouts!
