49 Shopping (1/2)
Also! I have made a few changes to the ”Novice Demon Katana” and the full set bonus!
I have also renamed the ”Shop” tab to the ”Crafting” tab as it makes more sense!
Now, enough with my rambling...
****************************************
”Oh ya! Look at this fat stack of loot! We will now be able to get good magical equipment for the exam!” Moby said, showing the suitcase full of money to Abby.
”Oh! That is amazing my lord! I have always wanted to try out some magical equipment!” Abby said with excitement.
”Don't we need to deposit this money to the bank? I need to buy some things online with them,” Moby asked Jayden.
”You see that machine in the corner? It's linked to my bank account. All you need to do is place the money on top of it and the money will be immediately transferred to my account. I had just recently taken them out of my account because I thought that physically showing you all the money would be a much cooler reveal to my surprise.” Jayden replied.
”That's great! Let's deposit them all now!” Moby said, holding the suitcase and walking towards the depositing machine.
He picked up all the money and placed it on the flat white surface of the machine.
Then, suddenly, all the money disappeared.
Then, a message screen hologram with a notification noise popped up in front of Moby.
[ Transfer Complete! ]
[ $100,239 has been transferred to your account ]
[ Your account balance is now $101,503 ]
'Damn! That's a lot of money!' Moby thought with a smile.
”By the way, Jayden, how is the video doing?” Moby asked with anticipation.
”Are you talking about… ”that” video my lord?” Abby said with a chuckle.
”The very same!” Moby replied with a smile.
Moby and Jayden had already shown the humiliating video to Abby while they were retelling their story to her the day prior, at the mansion. She found the video so hilarious to the point of pausing the video every few seconds to roll on the floor laughing and hyperventilating before hitting play again only for the cycle to repeat. The cycle lasted for the rest of the video where she finally got the time to properly breathe. It was by far one of the funniest things she had ever witnessed.
”It currently has 10 million views and growing!”
”That's great! That should be an extra $10,000. Right?” Moby asked.
”That's fine! 100 grand will be more than enough for what I'm doing!” Moby replied with a smile.
”By the way, what is this secret website you speak of? I'm really interested.
”Well… I kinda lied… it's not really a website. I can instantly craft equipment by just having the materials. It's part of my demon powers. I have a bunch of blueprints of weapons and armour alike in my head that I suddenly received. I am able to instantly craft the equipment in those blueprints when I have the materials in hand. I promise they will be good equipment that costs much cheaper than regular magic equipment of the same strength and quality.” Moby explained.
Moby still didn't want to tell his servants about the existence of the system and this is the best excuse he can come up with.
Technically, he wasn't lying to them
”That is amazing my lord!” Abby said with a smile.
”Wait... if I am a doppelganger, and Abby is a necromancer… Does that mean you are a craftsman!?” Jayden exclaimed with a chuckle.
”Fuck No!” Moby immediately retorted, making her laugh.
”Anyways, where is your computer. I need to buy a few materials,” Moby asked, ignoring her laughs.
”It's in the other corner of the room,” Jayden replied, regaining her cool.
”If you want to buy materials, go to Qbay.crom, there are always many good prices there. My account is already logged in so feel free to buy whatever you want.” Jayden explained.
Moby nodded and went to the big computer sitting in the corner of the room. He has never seen a computer this advanced in his entire life.
As soon as Moby turned on the computer, he immediately went on Qbay and browsed for the best prices for all the materials he needed.
To make one full set of novice demon gear including the katana, he needed 19 Naga Scales and 1 Ignuim jewel.
The total cost for all those materials according to the system should be $29,000.
On the website, he found that the prices that were listed on the system were not entirely accurate, some materials cost more than listed on the system while others cost less.
The total ended up being $30,172 instead of the $29,000 he expected to pay.
Moby then concluded that the prices listed on the system were all just an estimation of their true value. He needed to not completely rely on the system's prices as the market value of certain materials always fluctuated.
All items we're currently in Moby's cart. He has never done any online shopping so he asked Jayden some things he needed clarification on.
”So, After I do place order, how long will it take for the materials to arrive? Moby asked.
”It shouldn't take any more than a few seconds,” Jayden replied.
”Wait really? How?” Moby asked with a slightly shocked expression.
”You see that huge white pad beside the computer? That's a teleport pad. All the things that you ordered will immediately be transferred there. Normally, your order would be teleported to a delivery service in your area and the package would then arrive in 1 day at most. But! If you're cool like me and have a teleport pad like this one in your house, your order will be immediately sent straight to the teleport pad instead of the delivery service!” Jayden enthusiastically explained.
”Wait? So can people buy personal teleporters in their houses?” Moby asked.
”This type of teleporter does not work on living things and is completely different from the teleporters you can find at teleport stations that teleport humans. Those ones are a lot more expensive than this one and can only be owned by the military, government, and people with special permissions.” Jayden replied.
”Good to know…” Moby said, taking a mental note of what she had told him.
When Moby clicked on the ”Place Order” button, the teleporter instantly shined a bright light and a huge cardboard box appeared seemingly out of nowhere.
The box was fairly light compared to its huge size. It was fairly easy for Moby to pick up the huge box and place it in the middle of the room.
The box was filled with black scales that had a hint of purple, and 1 small black rock.
'The scales must be the Naga Scales and the rock must be the Ignuim jewel. The scales are much bigger and lighter than I expected, ' Moby thought.
Naga Scales can come in many different colours. Moby decided to buy purple and black Naga Scales for his set of equipment to complement his purple ”Eyes of Sin”.
”My lord, don't take this the wrong way, but, Naga Scales are considered just scraps, they are way too light and weak to be made into any good armour. They are mostly used for decorations instead of armour creation. That's why they are so cheap, ” Abby said, slightly concerned about her master's decision
”It's ok! When I infuse my demon energy into the armour, it will be much stronger!” Moby replied with a smile.
Moby went to the crafting tab of his menu screen and went over to buy the ”Novice Demon Shirt”.
[ Do You Want to Craft a ” Novice Demon Shirt”? ]
[ Yes ] [ No ]
'Yes,' Moby thought.
[ Please Customize The Appearance Of Your Item ]
'Wait… what the fuck! I can customize how my equipment looks!' Moby thought in surprise.
'Yes, you can, since you are crafting this, it is only natural that you can pick its appearance. However, the appearance has to look somewhat reasonable to be crafted with the materials you provided. Don't worry, changing the appearance won't have any effects on the stats provided.' Avilia explained.
Moby inwardly nodded, understanding everything Avilia had just told him.
Moby decided to go with something plain-looking as to not make it seem like magic equipment and as to not attract unwanted attention to himself.
When Moby finished customizing his ” Novice Demon Shirt”, 3 Naga Scales suddenly disappeared. Then, a slight purple glow appeared in front of his hands before a black and purple leather jacket appeared in hands that looked the same as the one he customized.
Both Abby and Jayden looked at Moby in surprise, shocked at what they just witnessed.
”Thats amazing my lord!” Abby said while enthusiastically clapping.
”Damn, thats impressive!” Jayden said with her mouth wide open in shock.
Moby nodded and smiled back at both Abby and Jayden before saying
”There is more to come!”
Moby then crafted every single piece of the equipment in quick succession, this also included the katana.
Naga scales are a very special kind of scales as they can be ground down into a leather or silk-like material.
As soon as Moby received all his equipment, he immediately put the armour in his inventory and equipped it on his body in one swift motion.
Moby's new equipment consisted of a tattered deep purple silk-like scarf that wrapped around his neck reaching down to the middle of his back, a black hooded leather jacket with hits of purple lines and a purple pattern, black leather gloves that opened up at the fingers, black leather pants with a deep purple colour that lined the stitching, and finally, black leather boots that followed the same design as the pants. The boots had a completely black sole and the top of the boot connected up to his pants, making them seem uniform. (Think of the novel cover but with a little more purple,)
The sword was a normal looking black katana with a purple tip and purple hilt along with a pitch-black scabbard that wrapped around his waist.
He also wore a dull-looking black ring that wrapped around his right index finger.
His armour looked very generic and bland which is exactly what he was going for.
The armour's stats are the following:
-------------------------------------
Novice Demon Katana
+30 strength
+10 Mind
Special Effect: +5% attack power per every consecutive hit. (blocked hits also count as long as the attacks are consecutively chained)

-------------------------------------
In total he gained:
-------------------------------------
+55 Strength
+25 Agility
+50 Endurance
+30 Intelligence
+40 Mind
-------------------------------------
This totals to 200 stat points and a +1600 increase in power level since the mind stat does not count towards increasing one's power level.
The equipment also gave a 5% potency bonus to all demon related skills and abilities which is really useful.
