Chapter 235: The Usual Shopping (1)

Leave a comment

After Mira got three of her Magic Stones analyzed, and heard the fairy girl workers research into the price evolution of Magic Stones, she took out a bigger portion of her Magic Stones to have them analyzed as well.

The prices were assigned according to the mana contained within the stones and not their size, but the prices were still roughly around the same as the first three. And so, she selected a portion of her medium and large Magic Stones that would easily give her around 3,000,000 Rils.

She had decided to keep all her small Magic Stones though, as they could be used to power all of the devices she owned, making them surprisingly versatile.

To complete the sale, she had to provide her adventurer permit again, and this time she decided to provide her complimentary ticket as well. That ticket gave her a 20% discount on anything she bought in the store, so she was not completely sure it would also apply to sales.

But in a happy turn of events, the complimentary ticket also provided a 10% increase to payouts from sales.

With it, she would obtain roughly 3,300,000 Rils.

All of that settled the Dinowal Store as Miras preferred place to buy and sell, which was exactly what Thedrick Dinowal had been aiming for when he gave her the ticket.

3,300,000 Rils was the equivalent of 66 gold coins, which was quite a heavy and bulky amount. But Mira still requested to receive them in cash, instead of a transfer to her account at the Union.

I can never get enough of this weight.

After completing the sale, Mira left the counter and headed to the common waiting area of the store, where she held the leather bag with the coins and weighed them with one hand. Feeling the heft of gold brought her comfort.

Once she had enjoyed the jingle of gold coins within the bag for long enough, she opened her Item Box.

Back when she first arrived to this world, Solomon had taught her a few things. Coins of all sorts could not be put inside the Item Box, as they counted as currency.

But then she learned how to solve that issue. Coins could not be stored on their own, but if there was an item that happened to contain coins, it could be put in the Item Box without issue.

The Operators Bracelet had a weight limit which made it hard to store more than a few thousand Rils, but former players were not limited in that way, so she could store as big a fortune as she wanted.

Mira took out six gold coins from the bag, the equivalent of 300,000 Rils, then put the bag with the remainder inside her Item Box.

That was the extra money she obtained thanks to the complimentary ticket, and it would be her budget for her shopping spree in the Dinowal Store now.

The Dinowal Store was large, so Mira wandered from one place to another, looking at everything curiously. There was a seemingly never ending assortment of items and devices designed for adventurers, which set Miras adventurous heart ablaze and she could never get tired of looking at them. Like a survival kit that would be of little use to her now but still caught her attention, or the kind of item that seemed to be made to entice children like a set of the 7 essential tools for a detective, which would be certainly useless to Mira. But all of it still attracted her.

Then again, all items made for adventurers were not playthings for children, even if Miras usual mentality was the same as a childs, but actual tools with purpose. All of them were designed to make the life of adventurers easier, and to ensure their survival.

That only made Miras curiosity swell even more as she tested more items. Mira already had plenty of advantages as a summoner, being able to borrow the power of spirits to make her life easier in almost any situation, but she was still attracted to items that could come in handy.

Mira spent around an hour wandering around the store, putting various items in her shopping cart, and only then she went to the one area she was looking forward to the most. The one with the newest additions to the store.

She was not the only person excited to check that area, as there were many other adventurers already looking at the items on display. It was quite lively too, with some examining the new items from close by, testing the samples on display, or asking the store employees various questions.

Ohh, thats where the discounted items are.

Mira spotted another section to the side of her current one, where items on sale were put. There was a whole shelf in that area, but it was already half empty, showing just how popular it was amongst clients.

The main item there was one called Magic In-Clothes Temperature Regulator CulCool, and below the sale sign there was the line In preparation for this season.

There were also instructions on how to use it and its functions. It was a device that was attached on the underside of clothes and would cool down the wearer, making it like a personal small scale air conditioner.

It was the size of a notepad, and the surface had four lines with the words Off, Low, Medium, Strong, with an inlaid switch that moved between them. Just looking at it made one think of summer.

This is incredible!

There had never been such a useful item even in the world Mira had been born and raised in.

It was already getting closer to August, so even though Mira could stay in a fresh and comfortable space in her spirit mansion, as soon as she stepped out she could feel the heat assaulting her and sweat start to build up. That was the current season they were in.

There was a limit to how many clothes one could take off too, so warding off the heat was a difficult task. If this small device could fix that, then she really had no option but to buy it.

But then she looked at the important part, the price. Even with the sale discount, it went for 200,000 Rils. And usually it went for 300,000 Rils.

In other words, two thirds of her whole budget would end up going to it.

Still, I need this..!

After some deliberation, Mira decided it was best to just increase her budget. So she looked through the various types until she found one labeled to work with robes and put it in her shopping cart.

Though in a way, it was a very good investment if that was all it took to thwart all of the heat of summer. Using that as an excuse for no one in particular, Mira stopped worrying about it and returned to the new arrival section.

It had not been too long since the last time Mira had visited a Dinowal Store, so there were still many items there she had already seen, even if they were still considered new. But there were some she did not recognize, so she looked for them and saw what they did.

But then she saw something that caught her eye and she immediately picked it up.

Ohhh, Solomon would like having this.

Seeing it had made her instantly think of Solomon. He could be a bit of a military geek at times, and the item was something that would certainly stir that side of him.

It had a rather peculiar look to it, and there was a sign detailing its use next to it. When Mira read through it, it only confirmed her hunch.

(Hmm, Im guessing this is another application of Thin Mist Grass.)

The item Mira was holding was a proper gas mask. And Thin Mist Grass was a type of plant that purified air. The gas mask was also equipped with a light source to activate the Thin Mist Grass, allowing the wearer to breathe even in places with no air or filled with noxious gasses.

In a way its function was closer to an oxygen mask than a gas mask. But the appearance was a far departure from the oxygen masks one would see in a hospital, and it was closer to the type of masks worn by special military forces.

The actual name of the item was Safe Breathing Mask Amphibian Type. That indicated that it would also work underwater, making it even more useful.

Lets see

Wanting to know how it worked, Mira quickly grabbed the sample Safe Breathing Mask and wore it, but the samples size was too big for Miras head, so there was not a proper seal and every time she would breathe the noise of air escaping the mask would ring out.

Oh, I can see better than I expected.
