ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 618: Do it Yourself Part 1
「This here bad boy is, in my personal opinion, my absolute favorite. It’s a Multi-Barrel Blaster “Hundred Faces”! The downside of this thing is that its price is tad a little bit high, and the required stats would make you think that only a true damage-sponge Tank would be able to utilize its full potential, but you can understand its splendor only when you actually wield it. Raw specs in the catalog are not everything, let me tell you! …… This is what you would actually call a true masterpiece!」
Alright, let’s make a purchase really quick.
「…… This here weapon, on the other hand, is the so-called Weapon Arm Part. As its name might suggest, it is the kind of a weapon that you can infuse with the arm of a Type Man Exoskeleton as long as you possess the necessary connect parts on you. As for its name, it is called Solid Gel Unit “Rolling Blade Gun”. …… As for what it does, it utilizes the user’s magical power in order to turn the magic gel into any shape that the user might envision and utilize it as a weapon. So think about the creativity that you can exhibit with this thing! But it needs extra precision to be operated correctly, so it’s a weapon that is recommended for advanced users.」
Alright, I guess that I’ll be buying this one really quick as well.
「Wait! Wait just a moment! Hold your horses, Sanraku! I want you to take a look at this one as well! Basically, what this thing is, it’s a Live Bullet that could be described as a Magic Power-Fueled Warhead that can do quite a lot of ––––––」
「…… Also, you cannot talk about strong weapons if you do not include this one in here as well! Otherwise others are going to laugh at you for sure! So here we go! Contrary to its rather plain and unimpressive appearance that makes it look as nothing more but a dead weight, the truth is that this weapons is quite ––––––……」
「Okay, but guys…… Let me ask you a quick question: which one of those weapons you would really recommend me to buy? But I mean like, really, REALLY recommend me to buy?」
「「Well, of course it would be best if you were to buy all of them! That should be as plain to see as day and night!!」」
Yeah, talk about being helpful! Those are only your selfish desires speaking through you, god damn it……!! Well, I am also partially at fault here for opening up my wallet and bringing out my money in order to buy those things, but believe me, guys! You won’t get any gifts from me! No, sir! No free weapons for you! At least not until I have something to say regarding that matter!
The important thing is to get the mass that would be more than enough for us to be able to go into the layer five using that cubic elevator. But while we are being at it, it is important to buy those weapons that possess high firepower or especially powerful effects. This means that those two idiots are better doing their job properly instead of being all selfish and a bother. But in case that ever happens, I managed to get myself a little bit of a “fundraising operation” with buying extra copies of the Trading Card Games cards to those in need back at the third layer. However…… It took quite a lot from me to resist the urge to sit down and blow it all up on slot machines once I saw them back there. It was a battle of one unreasonable emotion with another, but I finally managed to drag myself back here without actually spending a dime.
But hypothetically…… and only HYPOTHETICALLY speaking…… The slot machines can be played and partially “manipulated” if you are able to perceive the speed at which each slot is rolling. It would be a strategy that would take some getting used to, but it is also something that anyone can do with enough practice. So it’s not something that is exclusive to me an me alone. And that might be a serious problem in the nearby future.
In other words, it’s only a matter of time before some other players start arriving at the fourth layer. Even if they do not know how to go there quite yet. At present, since we are the only ones who are here, we can use the contents of the “shopping basket” as we see fit and distribute it amongst ourselves. But with more people able to buy stuff from it, that is bound to change before long. And that would make the complete capture of Leviathan increasingly more difficult.
「Hey, Survival? What about that thing?」
「Huh? Ahh, those? I have bought some rifles as well, but I don’t know how much Danger Points they each might have. But if I were to hazard a guess, I’d say that only a few.」
「Umm, when it comes to me…… I have bought one Cube Man. I think it might come in handy.」
「Nice, Cube Man itself can be used as an Explosive Dice, so it should be able to earn us a hefty amount of Danger Points. At least in theory.」
「Explosive Dice…… Fuuh, fukukukukukuh……!!」
Huh? But that was not even supposed to be a joke. But anyways, I can already see that Mold is going to be of no use in here for quite a while. Seriously, what’s wrong with his sense of humor? That being said, I am more or less ready here, so maybe it would be a good idea to give some of those things a try…… Yeah, it was a purchase worth of one hundred and thirty million mani as well as one thousand five hundred Score Points.
We then went straight towards the “Shopping Cart” area on the fourth layer, and proceed to stack our inventories full of the weapons we have selected.
「Alright then, “Brave Fish”…… We have finished our checkouts for now. Would you be so kind as to guide us towards the exit?」
「There is also Yashiro Bird somewhere out there, but let’s not concern ourselves with this idiot for the time being. Being the pest that he is, he should be able to handle himself just fine.」
「Even if you were to throw around all the money in the world, you would still find out that you would be unable to find happiness and satisfaction!」
「You know, those words would make a whole lot of sense and would have quite an impact, if only someone normal was saying them. When someone who is about to go broke says them, they sound like nothing more but a sad joke.」
「Ahh, I see how it is. I am going to be the butt of all the jokes because of that for a while now, is that it?」
If it is considered to be an opportunity, then we might actually stumble upon some worthy prey. And if the opportunity presents itself, you are supposed to just go for it and grab it! That is the universal rule of the world! So it applies to here, but as well to the deserted island! Or even the Bakumatsu Online! I’d like to live in a peaceful world if I could help it, but unfortunately I cannot help it in the slightest! So the only thing left to do in here is to just go with the flow!
