Arknights, please stop going crazy over the streamer's operators.

But most importantly: since there is a 'huge ugly thing' here, it proves that there must be other things of the same type here!

Although most vehicle-type and mechanical bosses are pretty weak, such as the 'Materialistic Opponent' of the aerial Jeston and the first phase of the heavy ship of the 'Pan Bridge' of the water Jeston...

But there are also some strange big prizes, such as...

Steam Knight!

No one can resist a Gundam!

Thinking of this, Li Ji began to look around, searching for other huge figures in the warehouse, but the largest thing in the space seemed to be an armored vehicle.

There was no sign of the Steam Knight at all.

"Is it not unlocked... or were you never planning to give it to me?"

Li Ji was somewhat disappointed. He turned on the lit screen next to him, which displayed a layout similar to the in-game purchasing center.

According to the instructions on the screen.

He is currently in a General Merchandise store.

The items available for purchase above are all those that are currently in front of him.

[General Goods Store Guide: The store refreshes 5 product slots daily, including one special offer item. Please take advantage of this opportunity.]

"They do random selections every day? Let me see what's available to buy."

Li Ji looked down and the first reward that appeared was one of the rewards from the mission he had just completed: a sanity potion.

[Rationality Potion]: Price: 10 Originium.

Purchase limit: 3

Use: Restores the operator's SAN value to 100%.

—One of the Doctor's favorite drinks: one bottle to refresh the mind, two bottles to keep you from getting tired, and three bottles to grant you immortality! But the Doctor no longer needs to regain his sanity; perhaps the one who can't rest wouldn't be the Doctor, right?

"Not for me?"

Li Ji then realized that he seemed to have no sanity points. At first, he felt that something was strange, as if something was missing next to the combat button.

It turns out the numerical value lacked rationality!

So that means this thing is for operators?

The description and usage effects suggest that when operators are engaged in combat, it's equivalent to working on infrastructure, and the SAN value will decrease.

Either wait for the operator to rest and recover, or use a sanity potion to restore the operator's SAN value so they can continue working.

"Good stuff, but isn't 10 Originium a bit expensive? After all, that's all the money I have right now... I should look at the others first."

After roughly understanding the purpose of the Rational Potion, Li Ji decided to continue reading.

[Giant Ugly Thing] Price: 5000 Originium.

Purchase limit: 1

Use: Driving a huge, ugly thing.

—Zuma's masterpiece, a colossal mechanical monster piloted by the High Priest. Its attacks are effective at both close and long range, and it can easily destroy giant mushrooms and wooden stakes. A normal engineer would probably find it hard to imagine how such a cobbled-together machine could move, yet it does. However, the operators probably don't like piloting it; even Ms. Anaconda refused.

"5000 Originium, you might as well sell me!"

Furthermore, the final description states that the operators don't really like this thing, and even the Anaconda doesn't use it.

This probably means telling him he can't give it to the operator.

That means the only one we can use is Li Ji.

If he had 5000 Originium, he could buy anything, why did he have to buy this thing?

"It feels like 4800 of those 5000 Originium are from the Gundam Dream bonus!"

After seeing the price of Da Chou, Li Ji felt for the first time that the anchoring effect was actually a bit terrifying.

The sanity potion that I thought was a bit expensive just now suddenly became much more palatable after seeing the ugly thing! I even had the urge to buy it right away.

He quickly shook his head, rejecting the values ​​he had almost been led astray by, and continued reading.

But if this thing can sell for 5000 Originium, then the price of an old palm-leaf fan...

He continued looking down, somewhat hesitant to even consider it.

【Originium Arts Elixir】Price: 800 Originium.

Purchase limit: 1

Use: Gain a random Originium Arts (skill).

—Every master has their own strengths and weaknesses. As for me? I know a little bit about everything.

Next up is what Li Ji has been longing for.

【Old Palm Leaf Fan】Price: 50000 Originium.

Purchase limit: 1

Carry: For each operator of a different class in the combat formation, all operators' attack power increases by 10%.

—When it rains continuously, the old master of the Great Yan Dynasty would complain to his relatives and friends that his knees couldn't stand the dampness and cold, and then casually fan himself with his palm-leaf fan... The clouds would clear, the rain would recede, and the weather would clear up. He would have to teach this trick to his young apprentice who worked at the Dali Temple next time.

"I **** (telegraph voice), 5 Originium!"

Although Li Ji was somewhat prepared for the high price of the old palm-leaf fan, he still cursed when he saw the price.

Keep in mind that he only gives 10 Originium per mission. To buy the old palm-leaf fan, you'd have to complete a whopping 5000 missions! 5000 missions!!!

But when he calmed down, he realized it wasn't so outrageous.

This is an old palm-leaf fan! Its simple design reveals a touch of the extraordinary. Just a few simple words can give the team up to 80% more attack power.

Thinking about it this way, the pricing... seems somewhat reasonable after all.

"But... I really have to risk my life for this!"

Li Ji, on the verge of tears, continued looking at the last item.

[Year's Weapon Forging Table] Price: 4000 Originium (-60%)

Purchase limit: 1

Use: Upgrades operator's weapon (increases attack power by ++).

—Although it looks like a forging table, it is fully functional as an automatic mahjong machine. Perhaps Nian would prefer to use this thing to play mahjong rather than forge weapons?

"This is a great thing that I can't afford. Why am I so poor, damn it."

Of these five items, apart from the huge, ugly thing that is junk, the rest are all pretty good, especially the old palm-leaf fan and the weapon forging table from this year.

Although the description sounds humorous, it's something that actually increases an operator's attributes.

Many modules, when upgraded to level three, only add a small amount of attack power, while this forging station can directly increase the operator's attack power.

"How come the mission only gives ten Originium? That's not enough to buy a Sanity Potion." Li Ji sighed as he looked at the weapon forging table in front of him.

He simply couldn't produce that many source stones, and could only stare longingly at the old palm-leaf fan and the weapon forging table, drooling with envy.

"Precyth, doesn't it have a pay-to-win feature? Please, I really want to spend money on it!"

[This feature is not yet available. Please stay tuned.]

"I...sigh."

Li Ji sighed helplessly. This was the first time he had felt so disappointed that he couldn't spend money in his game. Why was it so hard to send money away?

As he spoke, he glanced longingly at the old palm-leaf fan and the forging table, then tremblingly closed the product page.

In addition to the general merchandise inventory, the purchasing center also includes a fashion store.

The items here are priced similarly to those in the game.

Perhaps because 3D games no longer have the concept of dynamic character portraits, the price of each previous skin has been uniformly set at 20 Originium.

However, unlike in the game, this fashion warehouse is a real fitting room.

Just like in a real shopping mall, you can choose any type and combination of items. However, each item will sell for 30 Originium, which is a 50% markup.

Furthermore, the outfits you create must not go against the operator's wishes.

If the operator doesn't want to wear it, a refund is not possible.

It's reasonable that even with any combination of outfits, you still need to spend more money and effort on choosing the right clothes.

"This concept is quite interesting, but right now we'll probably have to split Originium in two... Let's forget about it for now."

In addition, there is still a large blank space on the store's layout, and several doors in the warehouse remain unopened.

There's a high probability that there are still things that haven't been unlocked.

Moreover, Li Ji has only just opened this place, so there are some things that can't be rushed and can only be done step by step.

But... he really seems to want the old palm-leaf fan and that forging table!

Even before leaving, he kept turning back to look at the old palm-leaf fan and the forging table.

"The next time I see you, I will definitely take you with me. Old palm-leaf fan, forging table, you must be happy without me!"
