Chương 43: Chapter 42- Magic Shop

Zach entered the portal and stepped into the magic shop dimension, where it was evening time. The sun was peeking from behind the clouds, and it was emitting a red color. The clouds looked a mix of orange and purplish-pink colors. While the sky was in gradient color from red to green to purple.

There were various types of awe-rora all over the sky. Some were short, while some were long.

After seeing that, Zach let out a chuckle and muttered, 'They are called aurora at some places. It's funny how I am already missing her even though I haven't ascended yet.'

The sky of the magic shop dimension was limitless, but the surface was limited. There was only one round 10-meter surface, and the magic shop was located on the edge.

The rest of the dimension had space, and debris were moving here and there in the sky.

"That's not the type of shop I imagined…" Zach muttered as he walked closer.

One would expect a shop to be a proper building or a room, but it was a stall. Candles were lit around the booth, and the fire was blue-colored.

Zach could see someone standing at the other side of the stall, but the top of the booth was covering their face.

"Here goes nothing…" Zach stood in front of the stall and saw a woman humming a tune.

She was wearing an eastern dress, covering certain parts of her body. Her dress was sleeveless, and it was black and white with golden embroidery. She was wearing high black gloves. She has long white hair and red eyes. She was gazing up at the sky and while smoking from a thin smoking pipe.

Zach tapped on the stall with his finger to make his presence known.

The woman gazed at Zach from the corner of her eyes and choked on her breath.

COUGH! COUGH!

It was as though she was surprised to see Zach.

"What are you so surprised about?" Zach scoffed. "Are customers that rare here?"

The woman laughed after hearing that and tapped the smoking pipe to take out the ashes. She grabbed her hair from behind to create a bun. Then, she used the thin smoking pipe as a hairpin to hold the bun.

"Indeed." The woman nodded, "Your types are rare."

'My types…?' Zach raised his brows in confusion and wondered, 'Does she mean players? Humans? Males? Or a handsome, charming, strong player like me?'

The last part was unneeded, although it was the truth.

"So, how can I help you?" the woman asked in a calm voice.

"I need a weapon," Zach replied.

"Uhh… one that works with all the classes?"

"There is no weapon like that," the woman replied. "What is your class?"

"I refuse to agree to the terms and conditions regarding my privacy of this game," Zach asserted with a straight face.

"Your data helps us improve and allows us to provide you with a better experience," the woman replied with a grin.

"I hope there are no ads in this game," Zach scoffed.

"There are personalized quests, though."

"Alright, let's end this gig." Zach raised his brows and thought, 'How does she even know this?'

Zach sighed and asked, "What weapons do you have?"

The woman's red eyes glowed as she inspected Zach with her eyes.

"Hmm~ A real cultivator," the woman hummed in excitement.

Zach furrowed his brows and asked. "Did you just invade my privacy?"

"I thought we ended the gig," the woman remarked.

"I am being serious here," Zach retorted.

The woman sighed and shrugged her shoulders.

"You would be surprised to know that there are players who don't know what class they are and what weapon they should use. So I have the ability to see the player's stats menu."

Zach was becoming impatient, so he looked at the weapons in the shop and said, "Now that you know my class, give me a weapon."

"I have weapons for martial arts. They should fit your physique." The woman at Zach with a curious look on her face and asked, "You do know martial arts, right?"

"Show me the weapons." Zach searched for martial arts weapons on the stall, but he couldn't spot one. "I can't see them."

The woman clapped, and a magic-type hologram appeared between Zach and the woman. There were dozens of weapons for martial arts, but Zach couldn't find what he was looking for.

The woman pointed her finger at a certain weapon and said, "How about these? I think it will suit you perfectly."

The weapon was ten rings.

"...." Zach smiled slightly and uttered inwardly: 'Father had one similar to this.'

"I want to buy them, but I am looking for gloves. Do you have a pair?" Zach asked curiously.

"Unfortunately, no. No one uses gloves as a weapon anymore." The woman squinted her eyes and asked, "Why do you want gloves? They aren't even beneficial in most cases."

"I used them as my first weapon…" Zach let out a weary sigh and said, "If you don't have them, then give me the ten rings."

"Actually…" The woman looked at her hands and said, "I do have gloves."

"Where?"

The woman showed her hands to Zach and said, "The one I am wearing."

"But… they are used ones…"

"If you don't want them, then it's okay—"

"I will buy them!"

The woman scoffed and took off her gloves. She handed them to Zach and said, "That will be 1000 Royal grade jade runes."

"That's too much for a second-hand weapon!" Zach exclaimed.

The magic shop only allowed jade runes as a currency. Coins and other currencies were useless here.

"They are ancient rank weapons, the highest rank available. And believe me, their real cost is more than a million jade runes. And you don't even know their benefits," the woman said with a serious look on her face.

"But the highest rank is divine. There is no ancient rank for weapons," Zach uttered with a puzzled look on his face.

"Now it does," the woman scoffed and smirked at Zach with a smug look on her face.

Zach stared at the gloves for a while and handed them back to the woman. "I can't afford them."

"How much do you have with you?" the woman asked.

"Around 300 jade runes," Zach replied. He then glanced at the ten rings and asked, "What about them?"

"They are 2500 Royal grade jade runes," the woman answered and added, "Only."

"...."

Zach let out a weary sigh and muttered, "I guess I have no other choice."

Zach opened his menu and changed his secondary class to crafter using Aria's blessing. Then, he opened his inventory and tapped on the item he had crafted.

A tiny palm-sized flask bottle appeared in Zach's hand. He looked at the bottle and placed it on the stall in front of the woman.

"What… is… that?" the woman asked while stuttering with a surprised look on her face.

"It's a potion."

"But… there are no potions in this world!"

"Now it does," Zach scoffed and smirked at the woman with a smug look on his face, seemingly imitating the woman.
