Chapter 366: Preparation, Synthesizing a New God-level Artifact!
After entering the City, Li Xiang clearly felt the difference compared to other second-tier main cities and Cities.
His first feeling was luxury, but it wasn't just superficial luxury; there was also a restrained, deep, and profound foundation.
Among the crowds walking on the street, high-level NPCs were everywhere. Even a pancake vendor at a street corner was a Level 70 NPC.
The Imperial Capital gathered the most Elite people of the entire Dafen Empire and was the political center of power for the entire Empire.
After browsing around the City for a while, Li Xiang discovered a very important point.
In the Imperial Capital, if you didn't have gold coins or privileges, it was better to live in the lower Cities or second-tier main cities.
The cost of living here was not something ordinary players could afford, but the quantity of good items was also much greater than in the cities below.
Li Xiang's purpose for coming here was very clear: equipment.
The equipment he wore was severely mismatched with his level.
Because the quality of his equipment was too high, he simply didn't have the luck to find equipment of the same level and quality or higher quality to replace it.
This resulted in three pieces of his god-level equipment still being Level 50 equipment, while the highest level of his other equipment was only Level 70 epic equipment.
...
Equipment Store.
As soon as Li Xiang entered, he felt an imposing atmosphere!
The first feeling the entire store gave Li Xiang was its size, followed by its refinement.
Just looking at any random piece of equipment, checking its attributes revealed they were all Silver or Gold grade!
Moreover, they weren't just ordinary Silver or Gold grade equipment; there were equipment with good attributes, even top-tier ones among them.
But the prices were also very high, reaching tens of thousands of gold coins per piece.
After looking around, Li Xiang realized that this was the true equipment store in his mind.
What kind of equipment store is it without good equipment?
The game's arrangement of these high-end goods in the Imperial Capital also highlighted the Imperial Capital's focus on quality from another perspective.
Li Xiang wanted to find the store manager, but was told he wasn't qualified. To meet the store manager, one had to have accumulated a consumption amount of ten million in the Dafen Empire's equipment stores.
Ten million gold coins...
Li Xiang clicked his tongue.
As expected of the equipment store manager in the Imperial Capital.
Having no other choice, Li Xiang found a waiter NPC and asked, "I want to purchase a large quantity of equipment. Can you make the decision?"
The waiter NPC nodded, "As long as your purchase quantity doesn't exceed ten thousand pieces, I can make the decision."
Doesn't exceed ten thousand pieces...
The prices of the equipment here are so high; ten thousand pieces would cost hundreds of millions of gold coins, right...
No wonder you couldn't see the store manager without a consumption amount of ten million.
"Okay, I just saw a piece of equipment I liked. Do you have a large supply of it?"
"Which piece of equipment did you see?"
Li Xiang pointed to a Silver sword he had just seen.
【Sword of the Corpse Attendant】
Quality: Silver
Part: Weapon
Strength +111
Spirit +77
Physical Attack: 1912～2431
Magic Attack: 2106～2799
Durability: 100
Required Level: 80
Restriction: Warrior
【Commentary: This is a sword tainted with a large amount of death energy. Long-term wear will cause irreversible damage to the wearer.】
This sword was the most suitable one in the entire equipment store for synthesizing a god-level artifact.
It had both Physical and Magic Attack, as well as double bonuses to Strength and Spirit. For Li Xiang, it was a top-tier and most suitable weapon.
The price was also not low, reaching 9149 gold coins per sword.
"How many do you need?"
Li Xiang brought up a calculator and did some calculations, "2187 swords."
The waiter NPC was visibly stunned, "Are you sure you want that many?"
Li Xiang counter-asked, "Can you produce them?"
The waiter NPC nodded, "If you are sure you want them and pay the full amount now, I guarantee that the goods you want will be delivered to you before midnight tonight."
Li Xiang nodded, "Confirmed."
The waiter NPC took a deep breath, "Please follow me."
Li Xiang shook his head, "Not just this one item, I want others as well."
The waiter NPC was stunned, "Please wait a moment, I'll go find the store manager."
Did this alarm the store manager?
Li Xiang smiled slightly, "Okay, go ahead."
After a short while, a man wearing a monocle walked over, "Hello, distinguished guest. I am the store manager here - Coolerge. I heard from the waiter that you want a large quantity of equipment?"
Li Xiang nodded, "I only have one request: as soon as possible. Money is not an issue."
Coolerge looked Li Xiang up and down, his gaze lingering on the armor Li Xiang was wearing.
He could tell at a glance that this piece of equipment far surpassed all the equipment in the store. It was very likely legendary equipment, or even god-level equipment above legendary.
He knew that a top-tier customer had arrived!
"Of course! I guarantee that I will mobilize all the store's production partners and deliver all the equipment you requested before midnight."
Li Xiang nodded, "Okay, 2187 pieces each of the Sword of the Corpse Attendant, Garb of the Subordinate, and Snow Wind Pants."
Besides the Sword of the Corpse Attendant, the attributes of the other two pieces of equipment were also all Silver grade.
【Garb of the Subordinate】

MP +2124

【Commentary: Born from wind and snow, it is made from the fur of a wind-snow beast within half an hour of its death.】
They were all Level 80 Silver equipment with very good attributes!
Coolerge nodded repeatedly, "For these three types of equipment, there is no problem."
Li Xiang asked, "Can equipment for other slots also be supplied in large quantities?"
Coolerge shook his head, "Weapon, upper garment, and pants slots are the main sources of attributes, so the types of materials and research have historically been the most extensive. Supplying them in large quantities is not difficult. Equipment for other slots, especially those like necklaces and rings, are extremely expensive to produce, and materials are also very scarce, making large-scale supply impossible."
Li Xiang nodded. This point was the same as in the cities below.
Coolerge added, "Your intention is that if equipment for other slots can be supplied in large quantities, you will also purchase them, right?"
Li Xiang nodded, "Yes."
Coolerge nodded and said, "A batch of new equipment manufacturers will come to negotiate in a week. If you need them, I can keep an eye out."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Coolerge smiled and shook his head, "No trouble at all. A large customer like you is a distinguished guest of our equipment store."
After speaking, he looked at the waiter beside him, "Calculate the bill for this distinguished guest."
"Yes."
"Sword of the Corpse Attendant is 9149 gold coins, Garb of the Subordinate is 5606 gold coins, Snow Wind Pants are 5578 gold coins. Each type is 2187 pieces, totaling 44468271 gold coins."
After calculating the price, the waiter's voice was trembling. Although his authority allowed him to sell orders worth less than one hundred million, in all his years of work, this was the first time he had seen an order exceeding ten million!
Coolerge said with a smile, "Let's waive the fractional amount. Forty million, how does that sound to you, distinguished guest?"
Waiving nearly five million gold coins in one go, it must be said that Coolerge knew how to do business.
Li Xiang naturally had no reason to refuse. He paid the forty million gold coins on the spot, "I don't have a place to stay temporarily. I wonder if I could trouble you for a moment here."
Coolerge immediately waved his hand generously, "You are now a top-tier customer of our Dafen Empire Equipment Store. We have a dedicated resting area prepared for top-tier customers like you. Please follow the waiter there, and I will go arrange the order production."
"Thank you for the trouble."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."
【Ding! 「Dafen Empire Equipment Store Governor - Coolerge」 Favorability +25, Current Value: 25】
【Ding! Relationship with Dafen Empire Equipment Store Governor - Coolerge has reached: Friendly】
Seeing Coolerge's prefix title, Li Xiang took note and followed the waiter to the resting area.
