Chapter 55: Shopping (1)
After receiving 1000 silver coins from City Lord Elijah, Shye left the city hall with a wide smile on his face.
He then checked the time and after seeing that the weapon and armor shops were about to close, Shye decided to postpone purchasing a new set of equipment for now.
Instead, he headed straight toward the food district to purchase fried octopus balls for his little sister.
After purchasing fried octopus balls, Shye also purchased some ready-made meals and beverages to have a small celebration at home.
Maia's eyes sparkled after seeing that her big brother not only purchased snacks for her but also ready-made meals.
"Woah! Big Brother, why is there so much food? Did the city lord reward you?"
"Yeah! I got lots of silver coins as a reward so I purchased lots of food as a mini celebration."
"Yayy! Let me help you prepare the food then, let's eat early today!"
…
…
…
After a night of celebration with his little sister, Shye woke up for another day of school. He had lots of plans today and fortunately, the instructor today was Instructor Per who always dismisses them early.
Since he expects to be dismissed early today, he could act on his agenda right after his class ends.
After he finished his preparations, Shye bid Maia goodbye and left the dormitory.
Once he arrived in front of his classroom, Shye took a deep breath and entered normally.
After finding out that Siegfried helped him cover up what happened to Theoden, Leonardo, and Eusford, he could finally go to school without feeling anxious.
A few moments later, Instructor Per arrived.
As usual, everyone listened closely to his lessons because although his lessons were short, they were interesting and full of insights.
However, for Shye, the lesson today was quite boring since it was all about the gale leopard.
After training almost every day inside the beginner adventurer zone, Shye already knew everything about the gale leopard and he could kill one in less than three minutes.
Instructor Per also knew this so he didn't get angry at Shye even though he caught him spacing out a few times.
"That's it for today, dismissed!"
Again, they were dismissed after around half an hour of discussion but everyone was used to it by now so they simply left the classroom after the dismissal.
Shye had some agendas as well so he bid Shirley and his classmates goodbye before excitedly running toward the weapons and armor shop.
Although the shop inside the academy was huge, the options were a bit limited so Shye decided to head towards one of the most famous equipment shops in Colzen City, the Hephaestus Armaments.
Not only was this shop famous in Colzen City, but it also had over a hundred branches across cities in all regions.
Although it was still a bit small compared to the top-tier and prominent equipment shops, it was one of the best among the up-and-coming equipment shops.
After a few minutes of walking, Shye arrived in front of the shop. He was amazed at how huge the shop was. Not only was it spacious, but it also had multiple floors.
This specific branch seemed to be newly built so it didn't have many decorations, however, Shye didn't care about the decorations, all that mattered to him was if there were many choices for each equipment tier.
Upon entering, Shye nodded in satisfaction. There were indeed way more options here compared to the equipment shop inside the academy.
"Welcome to Hephaestus Armaments Colzen Branch, may I know what this young sir is looking for?"
The shopkeeper smiled widely at Shye as she enthusiastically tried to assist him.
"I'm looking for a bronze-tier armor set and a silver-tier weapon." Shye replied
"Ahh! If that's what you're looking for, all bronze and silver tier equipment is located on the second floor."
"I see, thanks for the help!"
Shye thanked the shopkeeper before enthusiastically walking up the stairs toward the second floor.
Upon arriving, Shye's eyes sparkled as he excitedly checked each armor set. After a few minutes of looking around, Shye saw a Doran brand bronze armor set.
"Ooh! A Doran brand bronze armor set! 700 silver coins huh? A bit expensive but it's a Doran brand after all…Hnngghh…"
Shye was in a dilemma, he wanted to try purchasing a Doran brand armor but he didn't know if his 1200 silver coins budget would be enough to purchase both a Doran brand armor set and a silver tier greatsword.
"Hmm…For now, let's try wearing it first!"
He excitedly equipped the Doran brand armor set, however, once he finished equipping it, he frowned.
"Hmm…Although this armor set indeed protects more parts of my body, it's a bit hard to move…"
Shye glanced at his armor set and remembered how comfortable it was to wear the Meido brand armor set.
He then compared it to the Doran brand armor set and realized that he preferred the Meido brand armor set better.
"Hnngghh…But…But this is a Doran brand…"
He thought long and hard before finally deciding to look for the Meido brand bronze armor set and after a few minutes, he finally saw it.
Shye picked up the Meido brand bronze armor set and felt that it was the same weight as his Meido brand iron armor set.
"Hmm? Must be my imagination…Bronze should be heavier right?"
However, he was shocked after he actually compared the two.
There was no difference in weight!
Due to this, Shye was pleasantly surprised and finally decided to purchase the Meido brand bronze armor set again for only 600 silver coins.
He decided to purchase the same brand because not only did he like the feeling of not being restricted while moving, but he also liked the fact that he didn't need to adjust because there was no weight difference.
Shye took note of this specific characteristic of Meido brand armor sets because he wanted to check in the future if all tiers of Meido brand armor sets wouldn't have any difference in weight.
