Tier-7 Baguva City,
Compton observed Thornton's reaction. In his opinion, he is showing too much concern for Zack. Of course, a trunulesia forest is a dangerous place. But there are also many opportunities in it.
If that brat can survive successfully he will reap more rewards than he can imagine in his life. Compton knows the importance of the trunulesia forest. He is sure that Zack will gain sothing if he joins their exploration team.
He said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
"Why do think we ca here?"
After saying that, he turned toward the shelves. He pointed his fingers at the armoured gears and said, "To withstand the weird energies we have to wear the full body gear."
"Especially, at current circumstances prevails inside the trunulesia forest. Our team decided to buy grade #2 full body gear," Compton added further.
"Grade #2," Elder Thornton muttered to himself. He is aware that how expensive is that single product.
The basic model or grade #1 product is sold at 1 million credit points. When it cos to Grade #2 products, the cost of the full body gear is sold at 3 million credit points.
A quick flashes into his eyes when he realised that, he was surprised by his friend's gesture. They are ready to spend such an amount on Zack. He is extrely pleased with it.
Since they are willing this far, he can't drag Zack away from this city. After gaining so clarity, he coughed twice.
"Cough" "Cough"
"Compton, I trust you. But I want to remind you sothing as your old friend," Elder Thornton said.
Hearing that, "hmmm" Compton raised his eyebrows. He turned towards Elder Thornton and asked, "What is it?"
He furrowed his eyebrows, what advice is he gonna give ?
Elder Thornton smiled, "Zack has a powerful background. So his life is more important than mine."
Elder Thornton's words made him surprised. Compton looked at Elder Thornton with a questioning gaze. He knows his friend won't joke about sothing like this.
Seeing that, he is being silent. Compton then glanced at Zack who is still looking at the different gears.
"If you don't tell , I'll ask him," Compton said to Elder Thornton.
SIGH
After letting out a sigh, Elder Thornton answered, "Okay, I'll give you hint. But you have to promise that you won't inquire about his background anymore."
"And more importantly you will not ask Zack."
Compton gritted his teeth and nodded his head. His curiosity piqued further, who can make his friend so serious? He has never seen Thornton reacting like this before.
"His background is scarier than Tier-6 City," Elder Thornton dropped a bombshell as he uttered these words.
"What?"
"Are you nuts?"
Compton was taken aback. He couldn't believe what he has heard just now. He was expecting Zack's powerful background to be similar to an Elite-level powerhouse.
"Powerful than Tier-6 city."
"It's completely on a whole new level," He mumbled under his breath.
Then he imdiately looked at Elder Thornton. Seeing him nodding, Compton sucked a cold breath. "No wonder Thornton was so scared," he thought to himself.
Compton felt good that his friend didn't reveal Zack's background to him. He is one of the most powerful existence in this baguva city. But baguva is the smallest city among other Tier-7 cities.
So forget about Tier-6 city, he can't sure about confronting elite warriors from other Tier-7 cities. Because of this Thornton's words made him shocked to the core.
When it cos to Tier-6 city, he has only heard about it. His strength is weak and he has no authority to get into a Tier-6 city. The Tier-6 city also has another na. It's also called a stronghold of academies.
Compton only heard so rumours regarding the existence above that. Which is far more powerful than Tier-6 cities. At this point, Ricardo Compton made a huge decision in his heart. He will warn his exploration team mbers to not offend Zack in any way.
By this ti, small sweat ford on his forehead. Compton sighed inwardly realising that. The next second, he looked at Thornton with slight envy.
When did he co in contact with such people? But the next second Compton returned to their usual self. He has a vague feeling in his heart that their trip is going to be more dangerous.
But now after knowing about Zack. He has different thoughts. He felt its better for everyone if Zack does not join his team. Now his thoughts have taken a huge shift compared to five minutes ago.
Then it's too late to change anything. The brat is already here if he told him to leave now. Then it only creates a bad impression. Who knows his action might offend people behind that kid?
It is the last thing he wanna face sothing like that. He decided to keep an eye on Zack from here onwards. It will be tiring but he has no choice.
On the other hand, Elder Thornton was satisfied after seeing his friend's serious expression. Which shows his friend has given importance to Zack. So here after he doesn't have to worry about his safety.
...
(From MC's perspective)
While observing the different products, I also kept my eye on Elder Thornton. He is speaking with Bald Elder Compton in low voice. Which is audible to .
Seeing that, I didn't disturb him and continued to wait for their conversation to be over.
A few minutes later, both of them walked near to .
Surprisingly, Bald elder Compton took initiative to speak.
"Zack, I'm going to buy a full body gear set for you," Compton said.
Hearing that, my heart was amazed. I was hoping this would be the case. Otherwise, why would we waste our ti here?
In response, I nodded my head. Besides, Elder Thornton began explaining to . I was shocked to the core when I heard about the cost of the basic model.
1 million credit points? I only got 1 million credit points by doing all those killings. But here the basic model is rated at 1 million points.
My head started to get dizzy for a mont. Ever since I entered the city, my mind is getting turbulent. The constant shock I'm getting is too much.
On the other hand, Compton proceeds to buy the grade #2 product. He put his hands on the display screen placed on the glass table.
In the next second, the display screen listed the various items. Seeing that, he began to select grade #2 full body armour. After selecting the product, he paid the amount.
A robotic arm rose from the ground and picks up the product and turned to place it on the glass table.
On the other hand, I felt sothing was ground. The full-body armoured gear was in grey and I know this is not the basic product at all.
The basic product is like an adventurer costu. It is green in colour. Feeling my puzzling gaze, bald elder Compton answered, "This gear suit is grade #2 model."
Hearing that my scalp went numb. I almost went dizzy. Fortunately, I'm able to calm down my mind. But still, my breathing was quicker than usual.
A mont ago I was shocked by the price of the basic model which was rated at 1 million credit points. The price was shocking enough that I didn't dare to check the price of further models.
But I'm sorry this 2nd grade cost him crazy money. Why is he buying that product for ? Nurous questions appeared in my heart.
"Elder?" I turned towards Elder Thornton. Hoping that he would clarify what is going on here exactly.
But before Elder Thornton could say anything, Compton said, "Here take this set and store it in your ring."
Hearing that, I proceed to take out the grey colour suit from the glass table. Surprisingly the weight of the armour surprised . Then it took a few seconds to place it in my storage ring.
"Zack, don't think too much about it. The trunulesia forest has so changes. So as a safety precaution our team is going to wear grade #2 product," Compton said.
His words brought a sense of relief. No wonder he is willing to spend so much money. But suddenly I got a doubt. Will I have to hand over the product after the trip? But he didn't say anything about it.
Shaking my head, I decided not to think about this right now. Then I asked, "Where are we going next?"
Hearing that, Elder Thornton looked at Compton.
Compton smiled and said, "Well, I got so urgent work right now."
"Why don't you take Zack around the city?"
"I'll join you guys after finishing my work," Compton added further.
Hearing that, the elder's eyes glead with surprise. He thought to himself, "Does he got urgent work?"
Elder Thornton then felt this plan is suitable. Earlier, he had the sa conversation with Zack. So he is okay with it.
On the other hand, Compton has different thoughts in his mind. He decided to warn other mbers before they officially et Zack. So that their first eting will be good without any drama.
