Weapon seller in the world of magic Chapter 395

Published at 10th of May 2023 08:36:22 AM

According to Mark, of all the weapons he designed, the Antimatter bomb is considered the best. Indirectly, just a couple of prototypes even stopped the world war.

If only the weapon wasn't banned by the upper echelons, who knows, for the future generations of the earth, Mark would have been called the father of anti-matter bombs.

However, it is also a truth that its creation is what caused his doom.

That doesn't mean Mark wasn't fascinated by designing it once again. They have so much potential. Not to mention the fact that he no longer has any superior to control his actions.

If he wants to create them, he could create them.

And the system gave him a shortcut to achieve it by providing anti-matter particles for free.

On any day, Mark would have chosen it without hesitation. But, as the system mentioned that he can only purchase one super advanced attribute, he wanted to make sure that he was making the right choice.

Since he already knows the method to make the anti-matter, Mark would just need the right materials to create the anti-matter extractor. As long as there is enough time, he might be able to build one and even upgrade it as he researches more.

In that case, isn't it foolish to choose an anti-matter attribute? Mark thought that way and spared another glance at other attributes on the list.

"System, explain the attributes in this section…"

*Ding! Purchasing the Chaos attribute will let the host manipulate reality.

*Ding! Purchasing the time attribute will let the host manipulate the timeline.

*Ding! Purchasing the Nuclear attribute will let the host manipulate the nuclear reactions; reactions involving changes in a nucleus, such as fission, fusion, neutron capture, or radioactive decay.

*Ding! The divine attribute is manipulating the divine energy, which is exclusive to celestial beings.

*Ding! Protos attribute is the opposite of divine energy. This anti-divine energy is the most corruptive energy in the entire universe. No shield could block this energy. Even gods find it difficult to defend against this energy.

*Ding! Anti-matter attribute is about the manipulation of anti-matter particles, which are usually found in cosmic rays. Exposure of anti-matter to the material world will give rise to the annihilation of matter.

*Ding! Nature attribute is the manipulation of natural energy, which is found in every world that is inhabited by living things. The natural energy can also be refined into ether particles.

*Ding! The system recommends Time.

"Controlling time is great and all but it is not for me. I'm a weapon seller and my interests lie in selling my creations to the masses, not some universal domination and becoming a god or something. All I want is the power to protect myself and retaliate if one touches my bottom line. That's all…"

Mark eliminated Time and Chaos from the list as a result of his priorities.

"Compare to creating anti-matter bombs, hydrogen bombs were quite easier to make. With enough manpower (robots) and materials, it is possible."

The nuclear attribute was also eliminated.

With the divine throne giving him free divine power, the divine attribute was also eliminated.

As for Protos energy, it is completely unknown and Mark doesn't want to take the risk. If he has no option, he would take the leap of faith but since there are better options, he hesitated to choose them.

Not to mention, Alina already possessed Protos energy and he can take her help to research the anti-divine energy.

Only two were remaining; Antimatter and Nature.

Both of them had great potential in their own right.

Natural energy is in abundance and if mastered properly, he could sell the weapons to the masses while anti-matter, on the other hand, needed responsible individuals to handle the bombs made out of them as they were quite dangerous.

His eyes darted up and down. "F*ck… who am I kidding? I think I have already made my decision a long time ago."

No matter how logically he wants to compare every attribute, Mark's heart was dead set on only one attribute. He just wants to eliminate other options through excuses.

Upon realizing that, Mark felt like he wasted too much time dwelling on it and went to the pending notification and clicked on yes.

*Ding! 1,000,000 credits were deducted. The anti-matter attribute has been added to your character.

*Ding! The Summoner spirit path is detected. There are no beasts for Anti-matter. The mage spirit path is recommended.

*Ding! A quest for the mage spirit path is detected. Anti-matter will be locked.

*Ding! The super advanced attribute section has disappeared from the system's store.

"Okay, one is over. Let's see if there were any useful attributes."

He scrolled up.

Basic: 50000 credits

Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning (owned), Wind, Light, Dark

Variant: 75000 credits.

Metal, Shadow, Sound, Space (owned), Magnet, Crystal, Gravity, Oil

Advanced: 100,000 credits

Ice (owned), Wood, Poison, Plasma, Lava, Storm, Glass, Acid, Sand

"System, is there a limit on purchasing other attributes?" He asked with his eyes fixed on a certain attribute.

*Ding! No limit on Basic attributes. The host can select any three in Variant attributes and any two in advanced attributes.

"Is that so… well, not that it matters anyway."

System: "…"

Closing down the chat window screen with the system, Mark proceeded to purchase the attributes.

*Ding! 75,000 credits were deducted. The gravity attribute is added to the character.

*Ding! The Summoner spirit path is detected. There are no beasts for the Gravity attribute. The mage spirit path is recommended.

*Ding! 75000 credits were deducted. Oil attribute is added to the character.

*Ding! Summoner spirit path is detected. There are no beasts for the Oil attribute. Mage spirit path is recommended.

*Ding! 100,000 credits were deducted. Poison attribute is added to the character.

*Ding! Summoning beasts from rank 0 to rank 9 were unlocked.

"Gravity spells will be helpful in restricting the movements of my enemies, I will use Oil for various purposes, and Poison could make even simple 9mm bullets lethal but I need to spend time on research."

As all but the basic attribute section were closed for the purchase, Mark went back to the categories section and clicked on Bloodlines.

Just like the rest of the categories, Bloodlines category was also divided into different tiers from tier-1 to tier-6.

The prices were so high that Mark felt the urge to close it right away but forced himself to explore the list.

Tier-1 bloodlines cost 100,000 credits each;

Tier-2 bloodlines cost 400,000 credits each;

Tier-3 bloodlines cost 1,000,000 credits each;

Tier-4 bloodlines cost 5,000,000 credits each;

Tier-5 bloodlines cost 50,000,000 credits each;

As for Tier-6, it cost an enormous 1 billion credits. It only has one bloodline, which is something called "Primeval".

The Blizzard Pegasus he currently owns is one of the Tier-5 bloodlines. Phoenix was also on the same list.

Mark couldn't help but felt amazed by this detail, not because he was the child of the two people who possessed ancient bloodlines but it is because of the fact that the system gave him 50 million credits worth as a gift.

Back when he awakened, even 100 gold coins were so much worth to him and the system gave him 250 million gold coins of worth and didn't demand the amount.

"Maybe, it is probably because I possessed it in the first place and the system only helped me with the awakening?" wondered Mark. He further thought, "But still, the sassy system helped me a lot more than I deserve…"

All of a sudden, Mark felt a little bit guilty for using the loopholes to make millions of gold coins and still cursed the system as too greedy.

"Anyway, let's get going with the purchase…"

He explored the list under the Tier-3 bloodlines which are affordable in his current situation.

"Hmm… based on the list of monsters listed here, I guess the Tier-1 bloodlines mean the bloodline passed down from the common grade monsters. Tier-2 bloodlines mean the fierce grade monsters. Tier-3 means the king grade and Tier-4 means the emperor grade. Finally, Tier-5 should be an ancient grade.

However, only monsters weren't listed. There were also gods listed here. There's even the bloodline of Jade Emperor and Monkey King in tier-5.

Now, my curiosity about the system's origins only increased further. Just how could scientists create such a thing? I believe something else is also involved.

One day, I will find out the truth but for now, let's focus on the present."

Mark threw away the thoughts and clicked on a bloodline that has a familiar name on it, "Yeti".

It was an 8-circle realm beast king he fought in the trial of holy beasts. Since it is an ice attribute, he thought of receiving a few more ice spells (bloodline skills). However, the system disagrees with his decision. It gave a warning notification as usual as he tried to purchase the bloodline.

*Ding! The host cannot use its abilities. Proceed with the purchase?

"Eh? Why?"

*Ding! Bloodlines are different from attributes. Each bloodline contained the essence of the beast and is quite alive like a spirit.

*Ding! The host possessed a tier-5 bloodline. It cannot coexist with lower tier bloodline and neither can it accept a bloodline with an opposite attribute.

"So, I cannot purchase any bloodline below tier-5?"

Mark was stumped by the system's explanation. Each bloodline in tier-5 costs 50 million credits and he wouldn't waste much money on a bloodline even if he becomes the richest person in the universe.

He was forced to go back to the category menu with disappointment and put his entire hopes on the unique weapons' category.

"I wish I would find something worthy here."

He clicked on the category, opening up into two sections; normal and ether. As Mark wanted to sell them instead of using them for his own purpose, he chose the normal ones.

"Hmm… I wonder if I can find something that is of 9th generation fighter, F-46's caliber. It belonged to the enemies but still, the best fighter jet…"

He scrolls down and almost felt like slapping himself.

"Ugh… advanced ones are too pricy. Even if I unlock them, there won't be customers who want to buy them.

Let's pick an affordable one for now but is better than a training aircraft like Yak 130 I have."

After selecting one after another and reading their details, Mark finally chose the one.

"Yup, this Swedish one will be best…"
