C37 Shadow Gun

The matter of Newbie Students choosing their mentors wasn't over yet, and Chu Hen and Lin Tao had already stirred up such a huge commotion.

Everyone was very surprised by what was happening in front of him.

Watching Chu Hen walking further and further away, most of the people changed their opinion on him.

Low profile!

He was truly low-key.

It seemed that Lin Tao, who was sprawled on the ground without moving, had become a joke.

This year's Newbie King?

Chu Hen laughed without saying a word.

"I mean, brother, aren't you being too rude? We've known each other for so long, yet you still didn't tell me how powerful you are?"

On the way back, Mu Feng started chattering again.

Chu Hen replied in amusement, "I've known you for almost a day. How could it be a long time?"

"24 hours! We've known each other for 24 hours. Is that not enough? From your previous performance, I have decided to give you the title of 'Number Two Handsome Man in the World', only next to me. Are you satisfied with this title?"

"If you can shut up for a few days without saying anything, then I'll thank your ancestors."

Chu Hen replied casually, and then continued walking in another direction.

"Where are you going?" Mu Feng shouted.

"Somewhere."

After he vaguely replied that, Chu Hen left alone.

Cloud Lifting Pavilion!

After a long inquiry, Chu Hen arrived at the entrance of a particularly grand and imposing large pavilion.

This was one of the famous large-scale trading guilds in Imperial Capital City.

Chu Hen came here to find a weapon for himself.

Soon after, Chu Hen stepped onto the wide staircase at the entrance and walked into the Cloud Lifting Pavilion.

The interior structure of the building was amazing. The floor was paved with sturdy and thick black marble slates. The ceiling was very high, and a large lantern hung from the ceiling. It was imaginable that how dazzling it would be at night.

"Hello, may I help you?"

Just as he entered the door, a sweet voice sounded.

He saw a young lady with a pretty face looking at Chu Hen with a Pan Am smile.

"I want to buy a weapon." Chu Hen stated his intention for coming.

"Please visit Area 4 for the weapons exchange," the woman politely led the way for Chu Hen.

Under the guidance of the woman, Chu Hen arrived at Area 4.

The Cloud Lifting Pavilion was divided into different areas according to different types of materials, such as Pills, weapons, expensive accessories, and so on.

"Manager Jin, this young master wants a weapon." The young woman said softly.

Manager Jin was an old man who was about 50 years old. He was thin and had a pair of sharp triangular eyes. Anyone's first impression would be that he was an unscrupulous merchant.

"What kind of weapon do you need?" Manger Jin was standing behind a counter. He only glanced at Chu Hen indifferently, before he continued to wipe the dagger-like items by himself.

Obviously, Manager Jin didn't have the enthusiasm as a business person.

Of course, this was just too normal. Manger Jin had basically seen the rich and all those who had status in the Imperial Capital. It would be difficult for an unfamiliar man like Chu Hen to draw the attention of Manger Jin.

"Spear!" Chu Hen answered without hesitation.

Ever since he was young, Chu Hen had been using multiple weapons under the training of Long Zhan.

To be honest, Chu Hen could even use weapons like swords, sticks, and sticks. Compared with other weapons, Chu Hen liked the sharpness and domineering attitude of the 'Cold Spear' more.

"Over there!" Manager Jin pointed at a place.

Chu Hen looked over and saw that there were over 10 spears hanging on the wall behind the counter.

The tips of the spears faced up, and all of them flickered with a dazzling sharp light.

Chu Hen's attention fell on the golden Cold Spear right in the middle. The spear was about two meters long and about two centimeters in diameter. The spear was inlaid with fine golden scales, sharp and dazzling.

"How much is it?" Chu Hen asked.

"Golden Python Anti-Scale Spear. Black gold forged spearhead. Made from the skin of the Level Nine Spiritual Beast 'Golden Devil Python'. It's extremely flexible and hard to break."

Manger Jin introduced the spear briefly, but he did not raise his head to look at Chu Hen.

"Ten High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones."

Ten High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone?

Hearing his words, Chu Hen felt like being drenched from head to toe in a bucket of cold water. The excitement that had just been rising had vanished completely.

The exchange rate between an Elemental Crystal Stone of lower grade and one of higher grader was 100 to one.

One Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone was equivalent to 100 Low-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones.

And a single High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone was equal to 100 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones.

In other words, this Golden Python Anti-Scale Spear would cost him 1,000 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone.

Chu Hen did not know whether to laugh or cry. Only in Imperial Capital City would he know how poor he was.

When he was leaving the Huoyan City, Long Zhan had given him another 100 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones. Adding the 20 Elemental Crystal Stones he owned before and another 30 from Mentor Li Gu of Difeng Martial Mansion, he only had a total of 150 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones.

And in this month, he had spent some of it on his cultivation.

More or less, the Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone Chu Hen owned was only able to pay a tenth of the price of the Golden Python Anti-Scale Spear.

There was no need to consider it!

Chu Hen shook his head, thus his gaze sweeping towards another spear.

"What about this?"

The second time Chu Hen saw a pure black spear. Even its spearhead was in dark, but it gave off an extremely cold and solemn feeling.

"The Dark Steel Shadow Spear. Made entirely out of hundred-year dark steel. 60 kilograms. Five High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones."

Even though it was half the price of the Golden Python Anti-Scale Spear, Chu Hen still could not afford it.

Seeing Chu Hen's worried look, Manager Jin did not want to waste time on him anymore. He walked to the wall where the spear was placed and pointed at one of the Cold Spears. "Shadow Spear. The cheapest one. 100 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones."

The cheapest one!

These words made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Chu Hen raised his eyebrows, and looked at the spear in surprise, "What’s the difference between this and that Dark Steel Shadow Spear?"

Dark Steel Shadow Spear and Shadow Spear.

The only difference between the names of two spears were only two words. Chu Hen compared the both of them and realized that the two spears looked extremely similar, almost the same. The only difference was that the Shadow Spear was only dark, and not bright enough.

"The Shadow Spear weighs only 25 kilograms. Only its spearhead is forged from dark steel…"

Manger Jin explained in an indifferent tone.

"I understand!" Chu Hen nodded, and after pondering for a short while, he asked, "Can I try it first?"

Manger Jin frowned. Honestly speaking, he was getting a bit impatient.

But he had already wasted so much time on Chu Hen, so he didn't want to let it go like this. After a moment of hesitation, a malicious smile suddenly appeared on Manager Jin's face.

"Sure!"

As soon as he finished his words, he raised his Shadow Spear and threw it towards Chu Hen.

Chu Hen's eyes focused, and he extended his right arm and grabbed onto the Shadow Spear steadily with his palm. At that moment, a kind of thick and steady feeling transmitted to his palm. Chu Hen raised his arm and thrust forward. With a "whoosh" sound, a circle of light buzzing sounds rose in the air.

"Huh?"

Not far away, Manager Jin was astonished. There was a trace of surprise on his face.

The Manager Jin had done it intentionally just now, so that he could embarrassed Chu Hen after throwing the Shadow Spear out on purpose. Unexpectedly, Chu Hen actually managed to catch the 50-kilogram Shadow Spear in his hand so easily that his feet did not even move an inch. It was clear that Chu Hen still had some strength.

"Not bad. That’s it!"

Chu Hen tried it out and felt more satisfied. Of course, the most important thing was that he could only afford this one.

"Do you need a Storage Ring?" Manager Jin asked.

Chu Hen shook his head, and said, "No. I don't have enough Elemental Crystal Stone to buy a Storage Ring."

Storage Ring was a type of treasure that could be used to store items.

It was very convenient to carrying it around.

Of course, this kind of treasure was also very valuable.

"I have a Storage Ring whose space was less than three cubic meters, which is enough for me to put down your Shadow Spear and only takes 50 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones."

Manager Jin's tone was a bit more relaxed than before.

Chu Hen still shook his head.

"What is it? You don't even have 50 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones?" Manager Jin pondered for a moment before continuing, "If you have the time, you can accept the mission issued by our Cloud Lifting Commerce. As long as you finish it, you will receive a generous reward."

"Really?"

Chu Hen's eyes lit up. Honestly speaking, he was still thinking about accepting the mission issued by the Academy just now to obtain more Star Score to exchange for the Elemental Crystal Stones that he needed to cultivate.

"There are a lot of students in Imperial Capital City like you, so you can consider accepting missions here." Manager Jin said.

"Alright, I'll take a look first!"

"Good!" Manager Jin smiled slightly. After saying that, he placed the Storage Ring in his hand on the counter and gave it to Chu Hen, "I'll credit this to you first, but you will have to pay 5 additional Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones as interest. In other words, you have to give me 55 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones from now on."

Chu Hen secretly sighed. It was true that all businesspersons were dishonest.

In fact, he really wanted to reject his ' good intentions', but after thinking about it for a while, it was really not a good idea to go around with the Shadow Spear. It would be much more convenient to have a Storage Ring.

"Alright!"

Chu Hen could only helplessly agree. It seemed that he had no choice but accept this mission.

After paying 100 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones, Chu Hen instantly became a 'poor man' and even owed Manager Jin 55 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones.

What was unexpected was that Manager Jin did not ask Chu Hen to write anything.

After all, with the power of the Cloud Lifting Guild in Imperial Capital City, they weren't afraid that Chu Hen would go back on his word and run away.

Chu Hen kept the Shadow Spear in his storage ring, and then placed the ring on his right middle finger. It was an ordinary ring, and rather simple. The Shadow Spear was only two meters long, so it did not take up much space. Chu Hen could still place other things into the storage ring.

"Which area is the mission posted in?" Chu Hen asked.

"Area 5!"
