While the female attendant went to get the bow, Zhang Che made his way to the lounge by himself and sat down, his eyes beaming with excitement.
-How destructive would a strong bow with five hundred kilogram draw weight be?,- Zhang Che wondered. He discovered that his poor imagination was really unable to draw up an image!
However, the Falling Star Model Three he saw previously only had a two hundred ten kilogram draw weight, yet it was able to pierce a three-star bronze-quality defensive-type beast’s scales. This Model X variant shouldn’t have any problems penetrating a similar exotic beast of silver quality, right?
Perhaps even some three-star gold-quality exotic beasts whose defensive qualities weren’t that good wouldn’t be able to take such powerful attack.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the arrow could successfully find its target. After all, an exotic beast at such a level would possess shocking reaction speed, and would have a certain sense for danger. It was no easy feat to snipe them, just like that.
Even so, Zhang Che felt very satisfied.
Originally, the Gluttony Monkey was a seemingly useless pet. The reason why Zhang Che took him in was only because of his high potential, hoping to see what he could do in the future.
He never expected this fellow to give him such a huge surprise.
After arming him with the Falling Star Model X, the Gluttony Monkey could totally kill any ordinary three-star exotic beasts with ease. To Zhang Che, who was in a rush to rise to a Tier Four, this was a godsend.
Originally, Zhang Che estimated that he would need at least another two to three months to advance to Tier Four, but looking at it now, he was confident of accomplishing this goal within a month, as long as he found sufficient three-star exotic beasts.
To be able to go from a complete amateur to a mid-tier beastmaster within two months, this speed would surely shock anyone who heard of it.
Probably only the rich and influential people could possibly attain this kind of speed, right?
Just as Zhang Che was absorbed in his vision for the future, the sound of high heel shoes knocking against the ground rang out from the passageway.
Raising his head to look, the attendant from before was walking this way, carrying a wide box over a meter long in her hands.
“Please take a look, sir. This is the Falling Star Model X.”
She placed the box on the low table in the lounge and opened it. Afterwards, she nodded at Zhang Che and gestured invitingly to him.
Zhang Che stood up and took a couple of steps forward. He saw a strong bow lying in the box, exuding a cold aura.
The Falling Star Model X was about a hundred and ten centimeters long. The middle of the handle was purple-black in color, with golden thread patterns on it, giving it a dignified feel.
The bow limbs on the other hand, was milky white, with a pure, translucent body, like it was sculpted from suet jade. However, he could sense the strong elasticity contained in it after looking at it.
The design of the bow was concise, but not simple. The theme of black and white was low profile, yet lavish.
Zhang Che fell in love with the Falling Star Model X at first glance. He asked, “Can I try it?”
“Mm, of course,” the attendant opened her mouth slightly. -Could it be that I made an error in judgment, that this feeble-looking youngster is in fact a man born with herculean strength and is actually able to draw this five hundred kilogram-grade bow?-
Zhang Che extended his left hand and tried lifting the bow from the handle, immediately feeling a heavy sensation in his hand. This bow probably weighed around ten kilograms.
“Hup!” Zhang Che cried out, lifting the Falling Star Model X up from the box and held it before his chest. He could feel every muscle fiber in his left hand trembling.
-God damn, it is hard to even hold up a bow of this grade, not to mention drawing it!-
With his face flushed red, Zhang Che hurriedly reached out with his right hand and hooked onto the bowstring that was similarly made of an exotic beast’s hair, pulling with all his strength…
The string wasn’t drawn; not even in the slightest!
“I don’t believe this!”
Zhang Che bent both his knees slightly, mustering all the strength he could, and pulled on the bowstring once more, finally drawing it back!
Although he only drew the bowstring slightly, it was enough for him reveal a faint smile.
The attendant by the side finally couldn’t hold it in any more and let out a chuckle. She immediately realized her impropriety and covered her mouth with both hands, holding in her laughter with difficulty.
Zhang Che pretended not to hear her and placed the Falling Star Model X back into the box. He turned around and asked, “How much for this bow? I’m buying it.”
“Ah? Sir, you’re really buying it?” The woman’s mouth opened in surprise once more. She truly couldn’t understand. It was impossible for this fellow to draw the bow in his lifetime. Why would he still buy it? Was he really going to bring it home and hang it on the wall to ward off evil?
Zhang Che almost rolled his eyes at her. He replied, “I’m really buying it. Why did I ask you to bring it here, then? To play with you?”
He scanned the attendant’s face. He discovered that this miss really didn’t have the capital to make him want to tease her willingly.
“Ugh, alright, as the Falling Star Model X was made with extremely valuable materials, its sale price was set at the price of five million, eight hundred and eighty thousand Alliance dollars. If you’re sure about purchasing it, please come with me to the front desk to settle the bill.”
This time, the attendant was really surprised. She didn’t expect this youngster to actually decide to buy the bow. Did he really have so much money that he had nowhere else to spend it?
Zhang Che raised his brow slightly, feeling shocked inwardly, -No wonder no one asked about the bow after it was produced. Not being able to use it was one thing, its price is also sky high!-
Even some collectors might not be willing to spend such a huge sum to buy an unusable bow.
Despite his astonishment, Zhang Che didn’t feel that this bow was too expensive. This was a powerful bow that could easily kill three-star silver-quality exotic beasts! A few million dollars really wasn’t expensive.
A three-star silver-quality beast card, even one whose attributes were slightly worse, could cost up to a million dollars. With this bow, he only needed a few days to earn back all that he invested. The quality to price ratio couldn’t be any better!
Although Zhang Che didn’t feel that this bow was too expensive, the incentives he was entitled to couldn’t be left out. He didn’t ask directly for a discount. Instead, he asked for a hundred and twenty complimentary M-type armor piercing arrows.
A single M-type armor-piercing arrow’s selling price was a shocking nine hundred and eighty dollars. A hundred and twenty of them cost nearly a hundred and twenty thousand dollars; that was no small discount by itself.
Regarding Zhang Che’s request, the female attendant agreed to it very quickly.
Selling this Falling Star Model X that used such valuable materials to craft, she had already recouped great losses for the company. Giving a little benefit to the customer was reasonable, to say the least!
When it was time to settle the bill, Zhang Che directly took out the purple crystal card from his backpack, and little stars burst out from the attendant’s eyes when she saw it.
She knew what this kind of purple crystal card represented after serving high-end customers frequently. She couldn’t help but think, -It seems this youngster is the successor to some huge clan, a total preferred pick! A pity that my looks are a little less than ideal. Otherwise, I could try hooking up with him…-
——
Zhang Che’s eyes were narrowed into slits from smiling as he walked out of the Shooting Sun Research Institute, carrying the bow case on his back.
With the Falling Star Model X super strong bow, from now on he could live a life of having meat on the table when he was in the beast world!
