chapter 1393 ridiculous gift shop ii
"you can select one item from the gift shop appropriate for your level for free," lex said, though he wasn't sure if tetsuya heard him. the man's eyes, even through the clark kent glasses, were bulging out.
naturally, the first thing tetsuya looked for when he entered the shop was the most expensive item. it was called the burgundy lemonade, which was for an entire 300,000 mp! it was the sole nascent level item, and it could help restore depleted soul energy!
unlike yin and yang, which were energies naturally found in the universe, soul energy was only found within the souls of living beings, and nascent soul cultivators could expend their soul energy to use various techniques related to the soul.
the problem with that was that soul energy was replenished very slowly, since the body had to naturally create it from other sources of energy. items and potions which could speed up the recovery of soul energy were exceptionally popular among nascent soul cultivators, which was merely one of the reasons why tetsuya was so shocked.
nascent soul level cultivators were rare on the entire planet to begin with, each one of them the head of a major country on arra-kiss, or leading very important organisations or positions for the empire. as such, the ability to sell nascent level items in itself was incredibly rare and powerful, and spoke of a very deep background.
but as if that wasn't enough, the item actually restored soul energy! or, at least, helped in the recovery of soul energy! that was enough to drive all nascent cultivators insane. to top it all off, it was so cheap!
to be clear, the price of 300,000 mp was an immense amount that tetsuya could in no way pay himself. but compared to the expected value of such an item, the price was cheap. after all, such restorative items would only be used in critical moments, and no amount of money was too much to save one's life.
tetsuya gave lex a look, but said nothing. he was now certain that the treehouse had come to this planet to stir up trouble. maybe they already knew the secret of arra-kiss. but tetsuya would not be stupid enough to mention that himself, so instead he turned to look at the items for golden core cultivators, and his freshly closed jaw dropped once more.
the first golden core item he saw was a lizard tail talisman, priced at a whopping 150,000 mp! for a golden core item, such a price was absolutely absurd. while nascent soul cultivators may be able to afford such high prices, this was definitely outside the price range of the average golden core cultivators. nôv(el)b\\jnn
but the high price was not without reason! the lizard tail talisman could be used to protect the golden core from being crushed! it was a protective talisman that would stay active once used, its traces incredibly hard to detect.
if someone were to ever target someone's golden core, or if the cultivator used a technique that would cripple the golden core, the talisman would break instead of the golden core, replacing it, allowing the cultivator to escape unharmed!
the rest of the items in the 'gift shop' were no less shocking. from teleportation talismans that could teleport up to a 1000 miles away, to potions that could help with body refining, to chewing gums that never lost their flavor, all sorts of incredible things were placed in the gift shop that tetsuya felt was a cover for a weapons distribution center. or at least a contraband distribution center, because where else would such incredibly valuable items be simply sold to the public?
speaking of contraband, he noticed that there was a certain item called pluto cake which caused extreme euphoria, as well as a few hallucinations in any foundation level cultivators who ate it. if a golden core cultivator ate it, they would only get the euphoria for a few minutes. there was a similar saturn cake aimed towards qi training cultivators. truly dangerous stuff.
"can i get the sand grain please?" tetsuya asked, his tone suddenly incredibly polite. if this was the gift shop, he didn't want to know what lex would sell if he ever had a grocery store.
he suddenly felt like the treehouse was just as dangerous for him as hanging out in an empire based city, and wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. of course, he also had to make sure not to offend the tavern keeper in the process. it would be rude if he just skipped over after getting a free gift, so he decided to use what little money he had left to grab a meal before he left.
"great choice," lex said politely, packing the single grain of sand and handing it to tetsuya. that grain was from a fist full of sand lex had grabbed from the inn, so it wasn't exactly rare. but it wasn't like he had any intention of telling people that - especially when it sold for thousands!
"now that you've seen the gift shop, let me show you the terrace," lex said.
"uh, actually, how about we head to the eatery instead?" tetsuya said, directly cutting to the chase. "i'm feeling a little peckish."
"sounds excellent. i'm sure you'll love the options we have, though i must apologize in advance since we don't have any local cuisines here yet."
"it's not a problem at all," tetsuya said with a polite smile, before nodding towards the worker in the gift shop. he had been hoping that the worker would call out the tavern keeper or something so he could catch a name, but that didn't happen.
"actually, why don't i have felipeh take you to the eater instead? he can tell you all about our daily specials as well. i have to go attend to a few new guests we have coming towards the treehouse."
tetsuya's eyes widened, and for a moment he considered escaping. then he remembered that he was wearing clark kent glasses, so there was no reason for him to be nervous of any new guests. it would be best to stick to the plan.
"in that case, thank you for accompanying me so far."
