10 Quasi-magic Sword
Jono was attracted to some of the magic weapons and magic armor in the cabinet, but what attracted him the most was not the magic weapons or magic armor but an ordinary one that was shaped like a sword. The sword is a kind of two-edged one-handed sword, but the two parts of the sword that should be sharp look very dull, so blunt that the shape of the sword's body is nearly oval, almost like a kendo bamboo sword. The sword is jet black with a dark purple stripe pattern so that the pattern is not too visible. On the handle, there is a sculpture with a purple snake shape, and the base color of the handle is black. What is more interesting is the remark about the weapon's description.
Weapon Type: Quasi-magic Sword
Name: Gravrat-one
Effect: None
Quality: 5th stage of Basic Grade
Remarks: It is made of high-grade bamen, which has the basic effects type of the earth and gravity elements, so this sword is very hard and heavy. The weight will increase if this sword is used to absorb magic energy from beasts with a type of element of earth and gravity. Normal weight = 3.2 kg, with a maximum weight of 55 kg.
Price: 8,200 Rc
"The price is quite cheap for a sword of this level and type," Jono exclaimed happily.
Basically, a sword with the fifth stage of basic grade could cost between 8,000 and 16,000 Rc. Furthermore, this is a weapon that is almost a magic weapon.
"Perhaps, because this weapon isn't suitable for fighting, which makes the price low," Jono reasoned in his mind.
The level of the weapon, almost like in humans, is distinguished by the level in the form of a stage and grade. The stronger the weapon, the higher the weapon's stage and grade.
Jono chose the sword without hesitation because it was ideal for his training.
"I've been dreaming of becoming a swordsman for a long time."
"I hope this is a good start," he muttered rather excitedly. In fact, he knew that these words were just an excuse for wasting money to buy the sword.
Then Jono went straight to the cashier and paid for everything he had purchased. He also requested that the goods be delivered alongside the beast he had purchased earlier.
The ID-Card that used to have a balance of 10,000 Rc now only has less than 100 Rc. Even though he can still transfer money from his savings, Jono has nearly reached the daily spending limit for children under the age of seventeen, which is 10,000 Rc.
He did not immediately return home after finishing his business at this shop; instead, he took a walk around the Commerce and Business District because it was his first time here. He was eager to explore every inch of this district.
Rows of buildings of various heights, colors, and shapes stand majestically along the roadside. A busy flow of transportation and people passing by filled the landscape of this area.
Jono walks and sees various types of shops, restaurants, playgrounds, and even a battleground. The battleground here is called "Witwest Arena," and this place is the busiest place in the area because at the current Witwest Arena there will be weekly battles that are interesting to watch.
Jono is also interested in watching this battle, but the cheapest entrance ticket price is 500 Rc, while Jono has almost exceeded his daily spending limit. Battles at the Witwest Arena are not broadcast or recorded, so those interested must attend in person.
"Maybe next time I'll come here again to watch one of the fights."
With great regret, he went past the queue of people who wanted to enter the arena. After walking for about fifty minutes, Jono arrived at a road that was only about five meters wide, but the road was very busy with people of all ages.
There are semi-permanent small shops on the sides of the two roads selling a variety of culinary delights at very low prices. The cost of food and drinks ranges from 1 Rc to 100 Rc.
Of course, 1 Rc can only be used to purchase snacks such as candy, whereas 100 Rc can be used to purchase food made from beast meat, which is high in nutrients for the body.
Jono began to look around and buy some cheap food and drinks there. He purchased some food that appeared unfamiliar to him and that he had never tried before.
"Cheap fries, cheap fries," one of the vendors yelled.
Another vendor yelled, "Cheap drinks, cheap drinks!"
Another seller yelled, "Delicious beast meat, full of nutrition, strengthens the body and increases resistance to disease," which is sure to pique buyers' interest.
To attract buyers, many sellers shout about the food they sell. You will always hear the sellers' voices along the way.
As a result, Jono was unsure of what to try first. After some deliberation, he decided to begin by purchasing food that appeared to be both delicious and inexpensive.
Jono purchased everything from cheap food shaped like beasts to disgusting shapes. Of course, the food he buys is only cheap food. He even threw away some of the food he bought after tasting a little of it because the taste was very strange.
He simply stopped when he was full, not because his stomach was full, but because money was running low. After pausing to enjoy the local cuisine, his smartwatch rang, and he saw a notification on his smartwatch that the beasts and items he had purchased had arrived at his apartment building.
"I had completely forgotten that I had just finished shopping."
"This place is indeed a culinary paradise," he said while licking his lips.
Jono walked straight to the main road and went home using a public bus. When he arrived at his apartment building, he went to the place where his luggage was stored. It was in one of the first-floor rooms known as the storage room.
This room is a place where items sent to the apartment building are stored if the owner is not in the apartment. Upon arriving in that room, Jono then went to see someone who guarded the room. The guard was about fifty years old man. He was sitting in his chair with the table in front of him, full of papers.
"Excuse me, sir, I want to get the goods," said Jono, standing in front of the guard's table.
"On behalf of whom?"
"Where is the proof?" asked the guard, turning his head slightly.
"On behalf of Jono Sagara, this is the proof, sir," replied Jono, handing him a piece of delivery proof.
The guard then stood up and walked towards the back of the room to find the item that Jono meant. The guard stands about 190 cm tall and has a well-proportioned body. He has the appearance of a soldier.
"So terrifying," Jono thought to himself.
After a few moments, the guard returned with three cube-shaped packages, one long box-shaped package, and one large grocery bag-shaped package. The three cube-shaped packages are tightly wrapped except for a few small transparent holes that give them the appearance of being made of glass.
"Thank you," Jono said as he took his belongings.
The three packages are the same size, with a cube shape, whose sides are about 40 cm long, while the other package is long box-shaped, about one meter long and 15 cm wide. Because the size is quite large and quite heavy, Jono can only bring packages one by one into his apartment room. The last package he brings is shaped like a shopping bag containing bamens.
"It's exhausting." He said, breathlessly, "Living in an apartment on the top floor is very inconvenient."
After the five packages were inside his apartment, in his gym to be precise, Jono opened the outer packages one by one. He examined the items he purchased one by one after all the packages had been opened. The first thing he noticed was a bunch of bamens of various shapes and sizes.
The second is the weapon in the form of a black dull sword. The sword weighed approximately 3.2 kg.
The last thing he saw was the three packages, which were shaped like a cube earlier but now looked like a cage made of some kind of metal and transparent glass with the beast inside. Jono then read the descriptions of the beasts in the cage, one by one.
