Chapter 1798: Buying And Buying Some More

"Thank you for purchasing man!"

A huge, burly guy made of stones laughed as he received the money I paid for purchase these potion-like syringes I was interested on.

Though I also ended purchasing a few other items too, one of each I thought was interesting or that I wanted to study, so he immediately thought I was rich.

"You look like you"re a lot into these jabs... Hey, wanna buy the good stuff too?"

"Huh? The good stuff?"

"You don"t know?"

He squinted his eyes at me, it seemed that if I didn"t know, I would be in some kind of trouble?

Maybe he won"t sell to those that have no idea what he"s talking about.

I better pretend I know so he can get me there...

Act confident!

"Nah! Of course... Of course I know man, show me the good stuff."

I gave him a fake confident smile, but he immediately believed it.

"Nice, come over here."

Maybe it has to do with me being taller than him, so my presence alone makes him think I"m a criminal, maybe?

Whatever.

The golem-like alien then suddenly led me to a small corridor inside of his shop, right behind a red colored door.

Then, we reached a small black room that seemed slightly refrigerated.

"Here."

He opened a freezer, revealing to me even more of these injection syringes, of many new colors.

"I got you the good stuff man. It ain"t cheap though, can you pay?"

He smirked confidently, showing me his definitely not-so-legal merchandise.

But what is legal anymore in this place? I have no idea what are the laws or who is even governing this place.

"Sure, I got some more," I nodded. "So what are these?"

"I got you Esper Ability boosters," he showed me a pink colored syringe. "Nanomachine Strengthening jabs, Berserk injections, also something really experimental, this."

He suddenly grabbed a small syringe with a deep black liquid inside.

And then he smiled maliciously at me.

"Esper Awakening Syringes. These give anybody that gets jabbed an Esper ability... n.o.body knows what"ll be," he said. "Those that already have one though, may develop a second one, or their first can evolve or mutate, pretty insane, right? This one is fifty thousand, no less."

"Hmm..." I nodded. "Alright, I"m taking everything."

"E-Everything?!" he laughed. "You can"t afford that man."

"I sure can."

I opened my inventory and dropped over a hundred thousand starlight jewels.

We ma.s.s produced these with my daughters earlier, our current stash was on the millions.

"W-Wha...? You"re rich or something? How is this... Wait, are they legal or not?!"

He checked them thoroughly as he liked, realizing they were all read.

"I"ll be taking your entire stock then," I grabbed the freezer, disconnected it forcefully, releasing sparks of electricity and then placed it in my inventory.

"W-Wait! You"re taking the whole d.a.m.n thing - d.a.m.n dude!" he was still shocked.

"Bye."

I walked away as he kept counting the jewels, realizing they were "genuine" he screamed.

"I"m rich!"

As he kept saying that we made our way outside with my family.

These injections are indeed pretty interesting, they seem to give boosts to power and even awaken new abilities.

I wanted to try them on already, but it was better to do that later.

"So what did you even buy?" Miranda wondered.

"Ah, a bunch of illegal drugs," I shrugged.

"What?!" Benladann gasped.

"A-Ah! I mean, I bought illegal drugs- I mean not in a bad way!" I said. "I mean technically... Yeah, but they aren"t to get me addicted. They"re like the injections but even stronger."

"Wow, can I try them dad?" Benladra wondered.

"I don"t know, it might be better if you don"t..." I said.

"Really? Why?" Kate wondered.

"B-Because they"re drugs! Anyways, that should be the last shop! Let"s buy weapons! Who wants some guns?!"

"Meeee!" Benladra said.

"I want a gatling gun," Kate said with a straight face.

"Rifle!" Drakda said.

Wait, isn"t giving guns to children even worse?!

No wait, I"ve already given them lethal weapons anyways, so guns is not... that much of a

stretch anymore.

Right?

We entered the last shop, the fifth shop which sold all sorts of guns and only guns, everywhere, of all shapes and sizes. Based on how they damaged me, these weapons must be also powered up by the trial.

So they could be really handy secondary divine weapons, I might buy myself two handguns and perhaps a machine gun whenever I want to start blasting.

"Welcome!" A plant alien woman greeted us.

Most of her body was green colored, made of vines interconnected together, but her face resembled a slightly humanoid sunflower, with long hair made of petals.

I seriously didn"t expect such a kind-looking lady to be selling deadly weapons to take lives. We walked around the huge store as she smiled gently.

"So what are you kids picking up?" I wondered.

"This!" Benladra brought two handguns for herself. "I want these whenever I can"t easily use

my spear..."

"You already know how to use it?" I asked her.

"Yeah!" she said. "I saw the bandits do it, you point and shot by pulling the trigger right?"

"That"s right," I nodded. "We can"t try it right now though."

"I chose this..." said Kate, showing a machine gun she carried with her tiny hands. "I want this dad, I think I could replicate it with my abilities- Maybe I could replicate all of these... Hmm,

it could take a bit of time though, to a.n.a.lyze how the technology works."

"Oh wow! You can do that?" Benladra wondered.

"Amazing..." I said. "Well, we might as well buy more guns then?"

"Rifle!" Drakda came walking with his little legs, carrying a huge rifle with his arms. "Rifle!

Bang, bang!"

"Yeah, that"s the spirit!" I nodded.

As I talked with my kids about guns and how amazing they were (in moderation), I saw Benladra and Miranda bringing their own choices.

Benladann chose something resembling a gun, but with a machinegun feature of being able

to shoot multiple smaller bullets, and Miranda brought an extra-long rifle that seemed to be

good for snipers.

"So these are your choices, I see!" the shop owner said. "Niceeee!"

Why is the woman selling guns so weirdly cute?
