Chapter 194: Expensive Bow (1)

Xiu once told him that whatever his profession, one should always pay attention to ‘destiny’ whenever choosing a weapon. A weapon comes with a soul, and it will only resonate when they find a suitable owner. So, Shen Yanxiao was looking for a bow that resonated with her.

Shen Yanxiao felt depressed as she looked at the row of bows. He wondered why none of those hundreds of bows resonated with him.

"What's a penniless beggar doing here in Lianjin's Gun Shop?" A young man who was looking through the collection of bows frowned when he saw Shen Yanxiao's depressed expression. He looked at her with scorn as he stared at her simple and ugly clothes.

The Lianjin Weapon Shop is famous for its expensive weapons. Even the most basic weapons will cost several times the price of other stores. However, the students from Saint Laurent Academy were happy to visit the place. They knew about the exorbitant price, but they knew that the weapons there had excellent workmanship. It was almost like a status symbol of someone if one could afford a weapon from that shop.

Some first-year students even take part in some sort of unpleasant comparison under the encouragement of some senior students.

Comparing one's strength was one thing, and competing among wealth was another. Some students, who are inferior to others in terms of personal power, will seek to compensate for that deficiency with their financial resources.

That was why there were rarely small children with dull looks and even simpler clothes in those luxurious shops. That makes it stand out among the crowd, and not in a good sense.

"Who knows? However, based on his appearance, he would not be able to afford it. Maybe he was just here to broaden his horizons. " The other students did not even hide their disgust towards Shen Yanxiao. As he spoke, he deliberately picked up the bow that Shen Yanxiao saw and glanced at the price tag arrogantly. "Only seven hundred gold coins? Who wants this rubbish? "

The youngster who spoke earlier smiled at his friend and then glanced at Shen Yanxiao as he said, "Of course, this type of trash is not worthy of you, Wan Li. However, not everyone could afford the price, even if it was just trash. "

Shen Yanxiao frowned. He was only in deep thought, and his blank gaze involuntarily landed on that bow. He had not expected the two idiots to make such a big fuss about it.

Shen Yanxiao was in a dilemma because she was unable to find a suitable bow, so she did not realize that the two idiots took the opportunity to mock her.

"Go to the second floor." Xiu's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Shen Yanxiao immediately looked towards the stairs leading to the second floor. He saw something strange. The first floor was very crowded, yet he did not see anyone ascending to the top.

"There's something nice on the second floor, up," Xiu urged her again.

Shen Yanxiao did not doubt her words, so she climbed the stairs.

When they saw the subject of their mockery heading up the stairs, the two young men could only gawk in disbelief.

"Where did the boy go?"

"Did he pull our legs? He was actually thinking of going to the second floor. Even if he worked hard his entire life, he would still not be able to afford a single bow from the second floor. It was no more appropriate to say that he could not even afford a bowstring. "

"Absolutely. Everyone knew that the price of weapons on the second floor started at ten thousand gold coins. The child would not be able to afford it even if he wanted to. "

Although the two young people who claimed to be rich kept mocking him, they only dared to wander around on the first floor due to financial constraints.

Second floor?

That's where the really filthy rich go!

Shen Yanxiao reached the second floor, and it was in stark contrast to the level below her. There was not a single customer there, other than the middle-aged shop assistant in charge of the sales on that floor.

A dazzling and luxurious array of weapons was displayed in that area of several hundred square meters. The line did not consist of many weapons, but each one was placed on a glass screen illuminated by crystal light.

The area looks like a modern-day luxury exhibit.

Shen Yanxiao casually looked at the stick placed closest to the stairs. The dark brown wand was embedded with seven to eight low-level magic nuclei, and on top of it was a sixth-grade magic nucleus the size of an egg. It comes with a surprising price tag as well.

"Thirty-eight thousand .." Shen Yanxiao's mouth twitched. The bow with the third-grade magical core that he had seen before only cost one thousand and two hundred gold coins. It seemed like it was really a memo when compared to the staff.

The staff is a luxury. The second to third grade magical cores that could be combined with other weapons were only used as ornaments for that stick. What a fancy thing!

Shen Yanxiao was ready to bleed as she headed towards the bow section.

The shop assistant glanced at Shen Yanxiao lazily, and when she saw her plain clothes, she pursed her lips in disdain. Then he turned around and ignored her altogether.

‘A beggar who has no money dares to come to our store? How shameless! ‘

Shen Yanxiao did not pay attention to the insults of the shop assistant. After all, it was better to shop without anyone bothering him.

The entire second floor only had a few dozen bows, and all of them were placed on crystal displays.

Shen Yanxiao looked at the bow collection there. None of the magical cores used on the bow were inferior to those of the fifth grade core. Although laid out on a display rack, they could still move one's heart.

In addition to the quality of the workmanship, the magical core within was equally important. The higher the level of the magical core, the stronger the weapon. That was why the price of the magical core remained high, and weapons embedded with high-grade magical cores were extremely expensive.

Among all those luxurious bows, one managed to dazzle Shen Yanxiao's eyes.

It was a golden long bow, and it was entirely made with mercury wood, a material more valuable than gold. Not only is it more resilient than steel, but it is also sturdy. It was the best material to make a bow. However, one could only find mercury wood in the Luna Continent where the elves lived. It was absolutely impossible to find that material in the Continent of Brilliance. It also required a tremendous cost to transport mercury wood from the Luna Continent, and that was why the price had always been unconditionally high.

Even if the bow did not have a magical core in it, its power would not be inferior to a bow with a fifth-grade magical core embedded within it.

The Mercury Bow that Shen Yanxiao looked at not only contained one magical core, but it had two nuclei embedded within it!

Both ends of the arc are embedded with an eight-level turquoise magical core. The green-colored core was extracted from the earth element magical beast. Not only can it increase the power of the bow, but it can also stabilize the user's mental to guarantee the accuracy and speed of the shot.
