Chapter 308 Li Ang's Shopping Spree
Not far along, a booth caught Li Ang's attention. It was the Obsidian Tower's Empowerment School's exhibition area, several sizes larger than Leli Tower's booth. Inside, various models of puppets and armor shimmering with runic light were neatly displayed.
Items such as intricately structured energy cores.
The stall owner was a burly, middle-aged male wizard in a blue robe. When he saw Li Ang and his group approaching, especially noticing the insignia symbolizing the Lelita Enforcement Team pinned to Li Ang's chest, the stall owner's eyes lit up. He immediately greeted them warmly, his voice booming, "Yo! Friends from Lelita, welcome, welcome! Feel free to look around. The Brother Tower people are here, so all items are 20% off!" He patted his chest, his attitude generous.
Li Ang couldn't help but smile to himself. Obsidian Tower had never missed a single joint operation with Lelita before. They really knew how to get involved when needed. Plus, with this real discount in front of him, Li Ang's impression of Obsidian Tower improved even more.
"Thank you very much then," Li Ang replied with a smile, and began to browse the stall carefully.
What first caught his eye was a set of neatly folded armor plates with a matte black finish. Before the stall owner could even explain, Li Ang already had a clear idea of what the item was.
Adaptive Armor
[Effect: Forged from a composite of shape memory alloy and mithril, it automatically adheres to and covers the surface of objects, with a maximum coverage area of 500 square meters. It possesses both physical impact absorption and magical energy absorption properties, significantly enhancing the overall defense of the covered unit.]
Li Ang's heart stirred. His floating workshop had previously relied mainly on the [Gentle Breeze Barrier] for defense. Although the workshop itself was built with special stone, the stone structure was still a relatively vulnerable part when facing high-intensity attacks.
If this set of decking were applied to the workshop, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance its defensive capabilities.
Seeing Li Ang's gaze linger, the stall owner immediately approached, enthusiastically introducing the armor: "My friend has excellent taste! This is one of the latest achievements of our Obsidian Tower Workshop—Adaptive Armor! Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just a few panels now; once activated, it can extend like a living thing, covering a vast area! Whether it's reinforcing a floor of a magic tower or adding an extra layer of protection to an important magical vehicle, it's an excellent choice! Originally 1000 contribution points per set, we're giving you a 20% discount, only 800 points!"
Li Ang nodded: "Give me a set of this armor." Then he continued to look at the other items.
Soon, he took a fancy to a six-legged crawling puppet. This puppet had a compact body, with powerful suction cups at the ends of its six mechanical legs. Its joints were flexible, and it was obviously designed to adapt to complex and rugged terrain.
Its four mechanical arms, mounted on its torso, are robust and have interchangeable tool heads at their ends, making them ideal for heavy lifting, precision installation, or maintenance.
Li Ang immediately thought of the heavy magic cannons and magic crystals that needed to be replaced regularly in the workshop. If he could have a few of these puppets to assist him, the efficiency would be greatly improved.
"These six-legged engineering puppets have an extremely high load-bearing capacity and excellent terrain adaptability, making them great helpers for exploring ruins and constructing fortifications! Original price: 3000 contribution points per unit!" The stall owner quoted a price at the opportune moment.
Li Ang pondered for a moment: "I need two of these." With them, the workshop's daily maintenance and rapid resupply capabilities will be significantly improved.
"Okay!" The stall owner beamed and made a note of it.
Li Ang's gaze continued to move, finally settling on several exceptionally tall and imposing puppets behind the stall.
Their appearance is quite similar to the twelve golden guardian golems in front of the Leli Tower, but they are much taller, estimated to be close to three meters tall. They are made of some kind of dark gold alloy, and their weapons have been upgraded to larger caliber magic axe guns and heavy golden shields.
Seeing this generous customer's gaze fall upon the stall's prized possession, the stall owner became even more enthusiastic, raising his voice eight octaves: "Friend, you truly have a discerning eye! This 'Rock Solid Type III' Golden Guardian Puppet is the latest model, just mass-produced this year! Its range of motion is a full 40% larger than the previous generation! The accompanying weapon system has also been completely upgraded; the magic-powered axe's shooting power is comparable to a level two peak spell, and the axe uses a special alloy mixed with 1% adamantite, making its melee strength top-tier! The accompanying composite shield can withstand one level three attack! Its overall combat power is absolutely comparable to a typical level three magical beast!"
Placing them at the entrance of important facilities or patrolling key areas provides unparalleled security!
As Li Ang listened to the introduction, he had a different consideration in mind. In the wizarding world, the biggest limitation of puppets often lies in their range of movement. They usually need to rely on a fixed energy field to maintain their operation, and they will be paralyzed once they exceed the range. The stall owner's claim of "40% increase in range of movement" sounded good, but when converted, its effective operating radius was probably no more than 130 or 140 meters. This had limited significance on a vast battlefield and was more suitable for fixed-point defense.
But Li Ang's situation is completely different. First of all, his floating workshop can serve as a mobile energy source. More importantly, he possesses the [Torchbearing Authority] which can upgrade the bound puppets.
Upgrading not only improves their performance but also expands their range of movement. In this way, these expensive golden guardian golems are no longer just big toys for him to guard the home, but powerful combat forces that can move with the workshop.
"How much does this Rock Type III cost?" Li Ang asked.
The stall owner rubbed his hands together and announced a number that made Li Ang secretly gasp: "The original price is 10,000 contribution points per unit, but I'll give you a 20% discount, 8,000 points!"
Even though Li Ang was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but sigh at how expensive this thing was. No wonder that with the power of the entire Leli Tower, there were only twelve puppets in total.
He quickly calculated that with the 35,000 contribution points he had just exchanged, after buying the armor plate and two six-legged golems he had his eye on, he only had enough left to buy three more golden guards.
The contribution points are still far from enough, Li Ang thought helplessly. To fight against the End, whether it is to improve personal strength, arm workshops, or build forces, each one is a money-devouring beast.
Finally, after weighing his options, Li Ang returned to the exchange counter and used the gold coins in his card to exchange for another 48,000 contribution points. Amidst the shopkeeper's grateful words, he purchased nine [Rock Solid Type III Golden Guardian Puppets].
Contribution points and gold coins were spent like water, and Li Ang's personal wealth shrank significantly.
Having completed this large purchase, Li Ang had very few contribution points left, so he stopped focusing on finding goods and instead slowed down, spending time with Eve and casually browsing around.
Eve didn't seem to be very interested in the hustle and bustle; she preferred quiet and exquisite corners. Soon, she was attracted to a jewelry store belonging to the Eternal Night Tower School of Words.
