The story of the black silk female knight

"You seem to know how to do this so well... Could it be that you've already added a lot of friends?"

"Oh, actually you're the third fellow townsman I've met, and the second friend I've added."

Wei shrugged:

"After all, golden chance cards aren't easy to get... I've spent almost 50 big pity pulls and only got three chance cards."

"You've spent almost 50 times on the pity system?"

Valensa couldn't help but let out a jealous sound:

"You're that rich? Uh... I used to be pretty rich, but I only got into the Dimensional Hardware Store after I fell on hard times. This is just my second safety net..."

"You got the Lucky Card on your second guaranteed pull? You're pretty lucky..."

Wei smiled:

"However, I did discover the Dimensional Hardware Store when I was very young, and it was the equipment I drew from the store that helped me get through the most difficult early stages, which earned me the appreciation of the beautiful female owner."

I think I have a certain status in the company now... Since you've played Cyberpunk 2077, you know about the final boss, Hammer Bro, right? My job is similar to his now.

So my salary is quite high, and the company provides food, accommodation, medical care, and even repairs for my prosthetic body. I can afford to pay two or three large sums every month.

"You're doing really well..."

Valensa sighed, but quickly regained her composure:

"But I'm doing pretty well now... I have a rich woman supporting me, and I've also found my organization, so I shouldn't be slow in accumulating enough funds to guarantee my future."

"Definitely. For people like us who have special opportunities, the hardest part is actually the initial stage. Once we can develop, it's easy to get better and better."

Wei smiled and nodded, then suddenly said very seriously:

"Even so, we absolutely cannot be too reckless... Although we are transmigrators, we are not the real protagonists yet. If we go too far, we will die."

What you just did was extremely dangerous... How could you be so careless as to cosplay the senior's beheading line?

"Ha ha……"

Valensa curled her hair a little awkwardly:

"Although the senior looked terrible after she turned around, she was still pretty cool before she turned around... By the way, you sound so serious, did you witness a fellow villager die tragically?"

"……Yes."

Wei paused for a moment, then her tone became even more serious:

"Didn't I just say that you are the third fellow townsman I've met, but only the second friend I've made?"

The fellow villager I met when I first used the Chance Card ended up in a pretty bad situation.

Chapter 76 Resource Exchange

"Um... if you don't mind, could you tell me about your experiences from the previous two times?"

Valensa blinked, showing her curiosity.

We're all time travelers, no one is more noble than anyone else. Other time travelers might crash and burn, so I'm certainly not absolutely safe either.

By listening to the experiences of those who came before us and learning from their mistakes, we can avoid repeating the same errors.

That's what Valensa thought.

"Of course it's no problem."

Wei nodded readily, then recalled for a few seconds before beginning to speak:

"That was the first time I drew a Chance Card. The Chance Land I was sent to was a small oasis in the desert... That oasis was the safe zone."

The person with me there was a powerful figure from the world of cultivation, who was extremely arrogant and could even be described as disdainful of me.

I tried to strike up a conversation several times but failed. I could only watch helplessly as that powerful cultivator, riding a flying sword and bathed in protective spiritual light, rushed into the desert at the speed of a fighter jet to plunder treasures.

At first, all that emerged from the sand were those giant worms, each over a hundred meters long... I definitely couldn't beat them.

But that cultivation expert was indeed powerful. Her magic weapon fired like a laser cannon, quickly killing all the giant worms and extracting a lot of materials from them.

The aftermath of her battle with the giant worm revealed the entrance to a ruin hidden beneath the sand… After a brief hesitation, she chose to enter.

"She never came out of the ruins again after that?" Valensa asked, guessing.

"...No, she didn't even go inside the ruins."

As Wei said this, a hint of fear crept onto her face:

"She had just reached the entrance of the ruins when several black tentacles suddenly shot out, easily tearing apart her protective aura, binding her tightly, and continuously using slime to disintegrate her fairy clothes."

She struggled desperately, using various spells, magical artifacts, and flying swords in just over ten seconds, but none of them worked.

Finally, right before my eyes, she screamed as the tentacles dragged her into the depths of darkness… About twenty minutes later, the tentacles threw out some of her remaining clothing and her magical flying sword.

"...That's really terrible."

Valensa was silent for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

If that powerful cultivator is really dead, that would be fine. But if he's still alive... that would be the most terrifying outcome.

"Yes, I was terrified at the time, and I didn't dare to leave the safe zone for a single step afterward. In the end, I got nothing from the first chance card."

Wei also sighed:

"But the second opportunity card went quite smoothly. I found a lot of good things there, and I also met my first fellow villager and added her as a friend."

"Oh?"

Valensa asked curiously:

"So what kind of person is she, and what kind of world does she come from?"

"Her name is Asakura Mai. She's... well, quite a shy little sister. I guess she was probably socially awkward back in her hometown in her past life."

Wei smiled and said:

"She traveled to a modern-day supernatural version of Japan. She was a pretty powerful shrine maiden who dealt with all sorts of demons and monsters every day."

After we became friends, she gave me a lot of talismans with healing and defense effects, and I gave her a pistol that could automatically lock onto heads.

Because she complained to me during our chat that she wasn't afraid of any powerful ghosts or monsters, but rather that gang thugs often put her in a tough fight... The shaman's spiritual power has very limited effect on the living.

That's why I gave her that automatic headshot pistol; next time she encounters gang thugs, it should be able to give them a surprise.

"Is this what you called resource exchange? Indeed..."

Valensa's eyes lit up:

"We live in different worlds. If we exchange resources and learn from each other's strengths... Hmm, it seems that the most valuable part of the Chance Card is indeed activating the friend system."

By the way, do you think there's anything we can exchange?

"Of course I have... In fact, I've been wanting to meet someone from my hometown like you for a long time. I'm really craving those magical items... Come with me."

As she spoke, Wei turned and walked towards the warship, waving to Valensa as she did so.

Valensa quickly followed.

The two entered the warship through the nearest hatch. Wei led the way, making several turns, and soon they arrived at a rather secluded room. Inside the room was a large box with a combination lock.

Wei stepped forward, skillfully entered the password, and opened the box.

"This is……"

Valensa curiously leaned closer to take a look and discovered that the box contained various weapons and tools, most of which were similar in style to Vi's prosthetic body, suggesting that Vi had brought them from her world.

However, there were also two beam guns, a skateboard with a jet propulsion device, a communicator, and a piece of equipment that Valensa didn't recognize, which were clearly similar in technical style to this warship and were probably what Wei had acquired here before.

Vivi noticed Valensa's gaze and generously took out the items:

"I picked these up on the warship before, but unfortunately they are all broken... I plan to take them back to the company's technicians to study them and see if they can be repaired or if some new technology can be discovered."

If you're interested too... I'll share some with you?

"...No, it's better not to."

Valensa was actually quite interested in those two beam guns, but unfortunately they were already broken. Even if she could find a way to repair them, she might not be able to recharge them.

But since Wei comes from a technologically advanced world, she might be able to solve another problem.

"Can you do me a favor?"

Valensa told Vivi about her idea of ​​taking the close-in weapon system (CIWS) of the warship with her.

"Which close-in weapon system have you taken a liking to?"

Wei was somewhat surprised, but after thinking for a moment, she nodded gently:

“That’s true… I have a more convenient AI turret, but for you, this kind of manually controllable turret should be more useful… Come on, I’ll go and dismantle it for you.”

"Thank you!"

Valensa quickly led the way, and the two soon arrived at the close-in weapon system.

The disassembly was a huge challenge for Valensa, the female knight, but it was a piece of cake for Vie, the cyberpunk with an electronic eye and all sorts of tools.

In less than three minutes, the close-in weapon system that Valensa had been unable to attack was removed from the warship by Vi without any damage.

"Yeah, that's great!"

Valensa happily touched the handsome cannon barrel, then took out her magic storage pouch and put the entire close-in weapon system inside.

This scene immediately caught Wei's eye:

"A spatial storage item? I knew your magical world would have this... It's exactly what I want right now!"

Do you have any extra of these items? If so, give me one; you can pick whatever you want from my box.

"It's okay if you don't have it yet. Once this opportunity expires, go back and buy more. I'll use the friend summoning function to call you over, and then we'll trade."

Chapter 77: Restraining Greed is the Key to Longevity

"Any extra storage space items? Yes."

Valensa smiled and nodded, then began to lift her skirt.

While preparing for the entrance exam in Sergin Town, she bought several of the cheapest storage pouches to store spare weapons in case she lost them in battle, and sewed them all inside her skirt.

Now that Tia has financial assistance, Valensa can buy much better storage solutions; she no longer cares about these little cloth bags.

She quickly removed the three small cloth bags from the inside of the skirt and handed them to Wei:

"However, these three are all cheap ones, with a capacity of only about one cubic meter, which is nothing compared to the one I'm currently using... Is that okay?"

"One cubic meter? That's enough! You know, the box I just had was less than two cubic meters in size. One cubic meter is enough for me to carry quite a few weapons with me!"

Wei excitedly took the three small cloth bags, turning them over and over with obvious delight.

"How do you use this? Can someone who knows no magic use it?"

"Of course... actually, many magical items are like electronic products; even if you don't understand the technical principles at all, it doesn't affect their use."

Valensa smiled and then showed Vivi how to use the small pouch.

"This thing is absolutely amazing..."

Wei quickly learned how to use it and, like a child who had just received a new toy, kept putting her shotgun into her small bag and taking it out again.

Valensa didn't disturb her, but just watched with a smile.

After playing like this for almost two minutes, Wei finally came back to her senses from her excitement:

"Sis, you're so kind, I'll definitely treat you well... Come on, let's go to my box, it's full of my go-to weapons, you can take whatever you want."

"You're welcome... Didn't you also help me dismantle the close-in weapon system? This can be a thank you gift. Anyway, we've already added each other as friends, and there will be many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Valensa smiled, then hesitated for a moment:

"We don't have much time left to explore this place of opportunity. How about we team up and search around the area? Maybe we'll find something good?"

"Well... I suggest we don't."

Wei quickly shook her head:

"We must have arrived at this place of opportunity at the same time, but the warship was so big that we didn't meet at first."

After collecting some items around the landing point and storing them in a crate, I had the same idea as you, and decided to explore the area near the safe zone a bit.
