Chapter 725: Bright Glimmer of Dawn's Equipment Changes! (I)
Hearing Sima Xian's statement, the whole group's eyes lit up. Right! They hadn't been to the transaction center for a very very long time now. After so many years, they had amassed millions of contribution points to use up.
"Captain, we..." Yang Wenzhao's face turned red, clearly filled with emotions.
The same went for Duan Yi and Zhang Fangfang, who immediately realized why Long Haochen had just recovered their contribution points. It was for purchasing whole new sets of equipment for the three of them. Given Long Haochen's personal character, the gear he would buy them would certainly far exceed their contribution point counts. It was clearly because he was worried about them refusing the present that he had formulated his words otherwise, having them hand over their contribution points as being given the same treatment as the rest of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope. This way, conducting their purchases in their stead was only to be expected. Not only was it helping them, it was moreover giving them a lot of face.
Long Haochen revealed a smile, "Don't worry. If you take me as your captain, just listen to my arrangements."
Sima Xian remarked, "Boss, bring along my little flower girl. With her present, no good things will escape our nets."
Long Haochen showed some hesitation, "Are Titled Demon Hunt Squads allowed to bring outsiders to the Demon Hunt Squads' Transaction Center?"
Lin Xin remarked, "Boss, you're now the chairman of the Union. Shouldn't this matter be easily resolved?"
Long Haochen replied with a stern look, "The post of chairman of the Union is not a privilege but a responsibility."
Sime Xian responded, "Boss, be at ease. My little white flower is the successor of the Alliance's Great Auction House, which entertains a great trading relationship with the Demon Hunt Squads' Transaction Center, and is thus allowed to enter every section of the transaction center. It won't bring us any inconvenience. Don't just forsake her because of her age: she's the current chief appraiser of the Alliance's Great Auction House. I'm pretty sure that no one knows better than her what good things the Demon Hunt Squads' Transaction Center has in store. Even the most newly arrived treasures won't escape her eye."
Seeing his air of complacency, Wang Yuanyuan laughed in response, "Sima, some saliva is about to leak from the happy you."
He replied without much thought, "That's some saliva of happiness."
Long Haochen smiled, "Alright, Sima, invite Miss Feng Ling'er. We are heading for the transaction center first. Let's gather in a bit."
"Yes, chairman." Sima Xian suddenly bowed in response before turning back at a run, and the rest couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter.
They were not only back, but they had achieved their plans perfectly. A new chapter was beginning in their life.
Demon Hunt Squads' Transaction Center.
Bright Glimmer of Hope's appearance was extremely low-key. Each of them were clad in a cloak, and Long Haochen did not utilize his authority as the chairman of the Union in the least, acting just like any ordinary Demon Hunt Squad as they stealthily made their way inside.
The Transaction Center was completely filled to the brim, and due to the Temple's Great Gathering, many Demon Hunt Squads had chosen to attend. Most recently, that place was really bustling with people, and filled with good things.
Long Haochen's crew naturally wouldn't stop at the first floor, and directly headed toward the second. Large crowds were piling up on the way, and suddenly, a youth was seen jumping up and crying out in cheer.
"Very good, I've finally got my hands on it!"
This trivial sounding jump just happened to block the way of Long Haochen's group. The youth's mates who were also in the midst of excitement also contributed to blocking the way.
"Excuse me, please let us by." On Haochen's side, Han Yu's words were deliberately low sounding, just loud enough for these youths to all be able to hear.
When that youth turned his head, he couldn't help but feel startled about noticing Long Haochen's cloaked group. He immediately took out a large sword, which looked to be a pretty okay piece of magic equipment. Although, this assessment was based on the first floor of the Demon Hunt Squads' Transaction Center.
These youngsters looked quite fine, only somewhat young and inexperienced. When seeing this group not only cloaked, but furthermore most of them having their heads lowered, he couldn't help but reveal a look of curiosity.
"You are Demon Hunters too? We are the champion newcomer Demon Hunt Squad, number one Demon Hunt Squad of soldier grade." At the youth's side, a proud sounding girl spoke.
The youth shot her a glare, "What are you showing off about?" He then apologetically nodded to Han Yu, and hurriedly moved out of the way with his group.
Hearing the title of number one soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, the cloaked members of Bright Glimmer of Hope all couldn't help but raise their heads.
Number one soldier grade, what a familiar appellation! Ten years ago, that was theirs. Seeing these youngsters, all sorts of feelings were welling up from their hearts. After stopping for a bit, Long Haochen smiled to these young Demon Hunters, before leading the group to the second floor.
The number one soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad's youngsters were quite perturbed by this smile.
His smiling expression was really refreshing; like a breeze of spring wind or a ray of sunlight, its sight seemed to cleanse one's soul.
"So handsome!" The girl who spoke previously couldn't help but blurt out.
"He looked a bit familiar." Another youngster said.
The one at their lead suddenly began shaking, and lost his voice, "They are the ones from the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope! And the one who just smiled at us was their captain Long Haochen! Didn't he just become the chairman of the Union?"
The announcement regarding the new Alliance was already pasted onto the walls of Holy City by this afternoon.
A girl muttered, "In those years, the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope seems to have also begun from being the number one soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad..."
Due to their cries of alarm, the nearby Demon Hunters were all interested. Unfortunately, the figures of Long Haochen's crew had already disappeared up the second floor's steps.
Everyone always headed for the topmost floors of the Demon Hunt Squads' Transaction Center. With each floor less filled than the previous one, the top floor seemed absolutely empty.
This place was like a lounge, with a comfortable sofa on the side. Seeing them enter, an elder immediately stepped forward, and respectfully bowed to them.
"Sir Demon Hunters, may I ask what you need?" Being able to make it to this floor was ample proof of their statuses, as only Titled Demon Hunt Squads were eligible to enter this floor.
Long Haochen took out his cloak, and smiled to him, "Greetings. Can you please help us confirm our contribution point count, and then show us all the equipment of at least epic tier that is available? I'll be bothering you. Also, we will also need a Spatial Silver Crystal."
"Understood." The elder replied, withdrawing slowly.
Don't forsake this old man for being just an employee: from the fluctuations of his spiritual energy, Long Haochen could perceive that his cultivation reached the eighth step.
After they became a Demon Hunt Squad of titled grade, they no longer needed to search for items in there. They only needed to look through the catalogue, then choose, which was far more convenient than for the lower grade Demon Hunt Squads. Moreover, any of the transaction center's goods and equipment could be picked with priority given to the Titled Demon Hunt Squads. They were even able to make credit transactions for their purchases, although that was within a certain limit obviously.
A short time later, the old man brought a tray in front of Haochen.
On the tray was a rectangular crystal. A third of a meter long, and a sixth of a meter wide, it had a clear image displayed on it. From the looks of it, that was like a miniaturized version of the magic transmission crystals that were outside the Alliance's Great Stadium.
Long Haochen took out the crystal, placing it in his hand. A list scrolled onto the screen, each item accompanied with a small image.
Long Haochen unconsciously placed his hand upon the first image, and a radiance was immediately shot out from the screen and toward the sky, coming to the clear sight of everyone present.
That was a gorgeous mage gown, colored dark gold, and adorned with gold silk embroidery, with a sumptuous golden dragon design on it. The lower part of the gown was dark gold, while the upper part was the color of pure gold. The chest part's buckle was embedded with a fist-sized reddish-gold gem. The whole gown let out an orange luster full of softness.
Although that was just an image projection, it looked really lifelike, just as if the real thing was standing in front of their eyes. It was also slowly rotating, its glistening glow comparable with the glow of the epic tier, seemingly mesmerizing everyone in its display of pride.
The elder who had handed them the magic projector explained, "This magic gown is called Glorious Holy Fire's Praise. Reaching the epic tier, and compatible with light and fire mages, it favors fire mages. Holy light is supplementing its fire's might, thus decreasing any fire mage's use of spiritual energy by a half, while increasing its might by twenty percent and infusing holy light properties into the mage's fire attacks. The gown has the attached ability Glorious Praise, usable once a day, and which requires it to be bathed under sunlight for one hour to be used. Glorious Praise will, upon use, ignite all the holy light spiritual energy within Glorious Holy Fire's Praise to instantly produce a powerful Glorious Saint Fire, lasting for ten minutes and getting attached to all subsequent spells."
Seeing the dazzling Glorious Holy Fire's Praise, all Bright Glimmer of Hope were in a daze, including Long Haochen as well.
They had seen several divine tools already, but outside them, this Glorious Holy Fire's Praise was the most powerful piece of equipment they had ever seen.
Lin Xin immediately stood in excitement, looking excited and itching to rush into that image. As it stands, the only one among Bright Glimmer of Hope to be a fit for this magic gown was him, and moreover, he was intrinsically a lover of such flashy items.
