The Trading Area of the Main God's Dimension was as bustling as ever.
Fang Li and Sylvia headed straight to the auction house. As they chatted with each other, they began searching for the things they needed.
Inside the auction house, there were countless pieces of Equipment, tools, and Items of every kind, leaving both Fang Li and Sylvia dazzled.
As a result, Fang Li let Sylvia look for the Equipment she needed, while he focused on searching for accessories.
Sure enough, it did not take long before Sylvia locked onto her target.
…
Goddess' Light
Category: Upper Garment
Rank: Third Rank
Effect: Reduces incoming damage by 80%, and has a certain chance to trigger a reflection effect, returning half of the damage received back to the attacker.
…
Goddess' Sigh
Category: Lower Garment
Rank: Third Rank
Effect: Grants healing abilities capable of recovering injuries, and has a certain chance to evade fatal attacks.
…
Goddess' Heart
Category: Gauntlets
Rank: Third Rank
Effect: Ignores defense, allowing attacks to penetrate external defenses and deal full damage directly to the opponent.
…
Goddess' Tears
Category: Shoes
Rank: Third Rank
Effect: Interferes with perception. While moving, it creates misleading visual effects, allowing movements similar to a mirage.
…
These four pieces of Equipment appeared to have been crafted by the same person. They were originally a complete set, yet each possessed a different effect.
When combined, their appearance resembled the celestial feathered garments of a heavenly maiden. To any girl, they were even more beautiful than the finest formal dress.
At first glance, Sylvia fell in love with the four pieces of Equipment currently being auctioned.
Not only because of their beautiful appearance, which perfectly matched a young girl's aesthetic tastes, but also because their effects were exceptionally powerful.
"These are practically four top-tier Ogre Lux."
Sylvia said this as she immediately bid on and purchased the entire set.
Naturally, Third Rank Equipment was frighteningly expensive.
-Goddess' Light sold for 100,000 Exchange Points.
-Goddess' Sigh sold for 85,000 Exchange Points.
-Goddess' Heart sold for 70,000 Exchange Points.
-Goddess' Tears sold for 65,000 Exchange Points.
In the end, the four pieces of Equipment cost a total of 320,000 Exchange Points.
On average, each piece had cost around 80,000 Exchange Points.
If Fang Li had not obtained the Battle Suit, then with his own assets alone, he probably would not have had enough money to fully equip both himself and Sylvia with Third Rank Equipment.
Of course, after Sylvia settled her Equipment purchases without the slightest hesitation, Fang Li also found something worthwhile.
…
Optics
Category: Accessory
Rank: Third Rank
Effect: Greatly reduces the consumption of Stamina and abilities, while also increasing the recovery speed of both.
…
This was an exquisite platinum ring, essentially an upgraded version of the Small Magical Ring.
…
Undercurrent
Category: Accessory
Rank: Third Rank
Effect: When dealing damage to an opponent, greatly weakens the target's Stamina and abilities.
…
This was an exquisite black-gold ring whose effect was completely opposite to that of Optics.
The two accessories also appeared to be a matching pair of Equipment.
Furthermore, there was not just one pair, but two pairs.
It worked out perfectly, Fang Li and Sylvia could each take a pair, solving their accessory problem in one go.
As for the recovery-combination effect of Reiji Maigo and Ionic Spark, it was no longer particularly necessary for the current Fang Li.
Rather than waiting until midnight for recovery, it was better to reduce consumption from the very beginning.
Moreover, Optics also enhanced recovery effects, while Undercurrent could force excessive resource consumption on opponents. Which option was superior was obvious at a glance.
Under such circumstances, Fang Li also spent heavily without the slightest hesitation.
In the end, the final auction price for the two pairs of rings, four rings in total, was 80,000 Exchange Points each pair, and Fang Li successfully acquired them.
In other words, for the four accessories alone, Fang Li spent another massive 320,000 Exchange Points.
Adding the 320,000 Exchange Points Sylvia's four pieces of Equipment had cost, this single treasure-hunting trip to the Trading Area resulted in a total expenditure of 640,000 Exchange Points.
Yet Fang Li's entire fortune amounted to only 550,000 Exchange Points.
In other words, Fang Li didn't have enough Exchange Points.
At that moment, he was completely dumbfounded.
"I thought I was rich..."
To be fair, Fang Li was indeed wealthy. Even many Third-Rank Main God's Envoys were not as rich as he was.
However, that was only in terms of Exchange Points.
After all, Third-Rank Main God's Envoys also needed to purchase Equipment, Skills, and Items. Once they spent their points, their remaining wealth naturally could not compare to Fang Li's.
Now that Fang Li himself had become a Third-Rank Main God's Envoy and had begun spending as well, he naturally could not maintain that advantage.
In truth, every Main God's Envoy diligently earned Exchange Points, gradually accumulating wealth over long periods of time while slowly completing their Equipment sets.
Who would be like Fang Li?
He had only just advanced to Third Rank and was already planning to fully equip himself.
Not only that, he intended to complete two full sets of equipment.
Under those circumstances, even twice as many Exchange Points would not have been enough.
If Fang Li had not obtained the Battle Suit in the world of A Certain Magical Index, he would still have had to figure out how to complete his own Equipment set.
Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
In the end, Fang Li sold off some of the Items he had obtained in Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!. He also threw all of his previous Fourth-Rank Equipment and Items into the auction house, keeping only Moon Blade, Reiji Maigo, and Sylvia's Folkvangr.
Only then did he manage to gather enough Exchange Points to complete the payment.
In addition, Fang Li purchased a Skill Crystal containing a sealed Skill, a Third-Rank Rebuilding Furnace, and a Third-Rank Dungeon Mission Command.
After all that, Fang Li's Exchange Points instantly returned to zero.
"Back to the pre-Liberation years..."
Still, the greater the price paid, the greater the reward.
Putting aside everything else, once they equipped their new gear, both Fang Li and Sylvia experienced a tremendous leap in strength.
As a result, the two left the Trading Area and returned to their personal residence.
…
Main God's Dimension - Residential District
Within the personal residence, Fang Li stood on the lawn with his eyes closed.
Nearby, Sylvia watched him quietly, her purple eyes filled with scrutiny.
After a long moment, Fang Li slowly opened his eyes.
Then he moved.
Whoosh!
Accompanied by a phantom-like blur, Fang Li suddenly appeared dozens of meters ahead, leaving behind only an afterimage at his original position.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
His figure transformed into countless phantoms, flashing back and forth throughout the space.
One afterimage after another was left behind, nearly filling the entire lawn.
Boom!
A moment later, amid a ground-shaking impact, Fang Li returned to his original position and planted his feet firmly on the ground, crushing the rocks beneath them.
Only then did the countless afterimages scattered across the lawn begin disappearing one after another like fading silhouettes.
Seeing this, Sylvia's eyes lit up.
A beautiful smile blossomed on her face.
At the same time, the corners of Fang Li's mouth slowly curled upward.
"Three times the speed of sound?"
This was Fang Li's current speed.
An astonishing speed indeed!
