Chapter 81 Demon Slayer’s Handguards
After half an hour, Lin Chi finally walked into the gate of the “Qinhuang Shenbing Store”, leaning on the pedestrians on the street.
The business situation of this shop is obviously much better than that of the ancient bookstore before. Even if it is close to midnight, there are still a few men with evil faces in the shop, choosing weapons at the counter.
Just after Lin Chi walked into the store, a beauty with delicate facial features and wearing a cyan gauze greeted him, her mouth opened slightly, and she made a gentle voice:
“Hello, welcome.”
“Yeah.” Lin Chi looked at the “woman salesperson” in front of him.
Although it looks like a real person, the woman’s slightly stiff expression and the footwork that is close to “sliding forward” reveals the fact that she is a mechanism doll.
The exquisite doll tilted his head slightly and asked, “What do you need?”
“Weapon of self-defense.” Lin Chi said as he walked through the wooden floor of the main hall, stood in front of the glass counter, and checked the equipment displayed inside.
Placed on the counter was a short sword of ordinary appearance, with a hint of blue on the hilt, and a faint cold light flowing from the sword that didn’t seem to be sharp.
Although it looks like a stall that can be seen everywhere on the street, the price and introduction of the weapon on the wooden sign next to it is obviously not that simple:
Heavenly Sword.
Price: One hundred thousand gold coins.
This ancient sword was created by the legendary swordsmith Ou Yezi. It has the power to absorb thunder and lightning, is stored in the sword body for a short time, and can be released again. It was once regarded by the ancient cultivators as an artifact of crossing the catastrophe.
“Is there any way to play?” Lin Chi smiled.
He could see that if this sword was not a fake, it must have reached the level of an epic weapon. However, now he only has more than nine thousand dollars on his body, and he can’t afford this kind of weapon for the time being.
Mindful of this, Lin Chi didn’t stay in front of the “Heaven Cang Sword” for too long, so he began to browse the weapons displayed in other counters.
From machine gunner crossbows that can be fired automatically to spider silk concealed weapons that use silk threads to control human joints, the variety of “black technology weapons” in this store can be said to be an eye-opener for Lin Chi.
However, the prices of these weapons are also very high, with the cheapest being 20,000 yuan. With the money he got from the “first drop of blood”, he couldn’t buy these weapons.
“The price level of this map is so high…” Lin Chi muttered secretly.
——Although the ancient books and backpacks I bought are not expensive, the price of weapons in the Institution City is obviously much higher than that in the City of Chaos.
After all, the weapons of this world line seem to be mostly hand-made, and it is completely understandable that they are expensive.
“Do you have anything you want?” The puppet who had been with Lin Chi repeated it again.
“Well, do you have… a cheaper self-defense weapon?” Lin Chi asked.
As a doll of the organ, after hearing Lin Chi’s request, she did not show any expression of contempt, but immediately nodded and said: “Yes, please come with me.”
Lin Chi followed the woman up the creaking wooden stairs to the dimly lit attic of the weapon shop. The display cabinets here are also made of glass, but unlike the cabinets below that are as clean as new, they are all covered with a thin layer of dust.
“The weapons here are relatively cheap. They are our old products. You can check them out.” The woman nodded slightly, then stood aside and moved away from the display cabinet.
“Thank you.” Lin Chi said and began to check the weapons here.
Although the quality of the equipment here is obviously incomparable with the equipment below, in the early days of the game, Lin Chi did not have high requirements for the quality of the weapons.
He has always had a mediocre luck, even if his luck value this time doesn’t seem to be low, he doesn’t expect to find a “hidden artifact” in such a place.
However, as long as it can be used…
With this thought in mind, he quickly browsed the “crooked melons and cracked dates” displayed in the showcase on the second floor. Lin Chi quickly made a choice, pointed to a cabinet and asked, “How much is this thing?”
Displayed in that glass cabinet is a black light armband that can be mounted on the forearm.
Although the edges were a little damaged and the paint on the top was peeled off, the weapons on the armbands should still be usable.
“This is the Demon Slayer Handguard.” The woman quickly reported the name of the equipment: “Although this Demon Slayer Handguard is somewhat damaged, you only need five thousand gold coins to buy it.”
“It sounds good, can I give it a try?” Lin Chi looked at the equipment named “Devil Slayer Armor” in the cabinet.
Judging by its appearance, this hand armor is a portable weapon mounted on the arm, similar to the Hidden Blade in “Assassin’s Creed”, but obviously has other functions.
“Okay, you can try it now.” The woman said, walking up to open the cabinet.
Lin Chi stretched out his hand and picked up the Demon Slaying Handguard in the cabinet. Then he rolled up the sleeve of his right arm and installed the cold and light metal armband on his right arm.
At the same time, the introduction of the item popped up in front of him very intimately:
Demon Slayer’s Handguards (damaged).
Melee ranged weapons.
Item level: Excellent.
Use proficiency. Requires minimum agility value: 12. To reach the maximum attack power requires agility value: 18.
“The Demon Slayer Handguard is a melee weapon commonly used by assassins and guards. It has multiple functions such as Hidden Blade, Poison Needle, and Mechanism Line. The other devices on this Demon Slayer Handguard are broken, and only the Hidden Blade can still use.”
After reading the article introduction, Lin Chi immediately realized that the damaged Demon Slayer’s Hand Armor was just a Hidden Blade with a different shape.
However, with the experience of building workshops in the previous round, Lin Chi knew that the damaged equipment in this game could actually be repaired by himself.
So now, he has not given up the damaged weapon. Just put on the Demon Slayer’s hand armor first, and then asked the woman next to him:
“How to control this stuff?”
“When you shake your hand hard, the blade will automatically pop out. Another method is to quickly make a fist twice. The Feng Shui engine built into the Demon Slayer Handguard will sense your instructions and control the blade to pop out.” The woman explained.
“Oh……”
Hearing this, Lin Chi shook his right arm vigorously. He heard a crisp sound. A silver light rushed from above the Demon Slayer’s hand armor. There was a slender blade close to a meter long, without warning. Appear in the air!
“I’m going, so long?” Lin Chi was also taken aback by this weapon.
Then, he noticed that on the back of his right hand, a slender wound was cut by the ejected blade, gurgling blood…
“Evil proficiency.” He complained.
Open the status bar and see below the attributes, a new field for “Hand Armor Proficiency” has indeed appeared. Perhaps because of seeing the blood, the proficiency of the hand armor has directly reached 2 points.
Lin Chi tried to swing the long knife that popped out of his hand armor. Although “strike against the air” did not improve his proficiency, he could feel that the sharpness of this knife should not be lost to the tiger claw hunting knife.
——If this Demon Slayer Hand Armor is repaired to a perfect condition, it should also reach the level of sophisticated equipment, or even epic equipment?
Thinking of this, Lin Chi has decided to buy this broken hand armor, but before that, he still has a more important problem to solve:
“How can I take this knife back?”
“Just press the second button on the side of the armour with your left hand.” The woman explained.
Lin Chi pressed the button, and the blade of the Demon Slayer’s hand armor retracted at a terrifying speed, as if it had never appeared at all, leaving only a vague silver light.
“Damn.” He gritted his teeth.
A scorching sensation hit the back of his hand, and there was another wound on his right hand.
Relying on this self-mutilation behavior, his hand armor proficiency has also increased a little while the blade is retracted, reaching 3 points.
“Maybe you can improve your proficiency by self-mutilation?” Lin Chi said inwardly.
Looking at the two **** wounds on his right hand, he quickly dispelled the idea.
