The story of the black silk female knight

"Forget it, it's really not a big deal. As long as I can live a better life, what's wrong with being a source of amusement for those gods? I've already come to terms with it... Besides, it's really comfortable to cling to the goddess's coattails."

"Then please continue..."

Valensa tapped her fingers twice on the counter of the Dimensional Hardware Store:

"What valuable services can you still offer me now? Since the most useful enhancement cards are no longer usable, could you upgrade my friend system? So that I can visit Wei or Wu's place more often each month and play for a longer period each time?"

"Of course, that's no problem."

The shop owner agreed quite readily this time:

"This is one of the systems that will be upgraded after completing the evolution of life level... Now you can summon your friends three times a month, and each time your friends can stay here for half a day."

Regarding the number of times and duration you visit your friend's site... I'm sorry, it remains the same for now, as your friend needs to complete their life level evolution as well.

"I've increased the time and frequency of summoning Wei and Wu to play, but the time and frequency of my visits to their place remain unchanged?"

Valensa wasn't dissatisfied with the answer. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment before letting out a snort and asking in return:

"Can I tell Wei and Wu this news directly?"

"Of course, our Dimensional Hardware Store doesn't have any confidentiality rules like some mysterious giant sphere. You can freely tell anyone else any information I've already given you," the store owner said.

"That's pretty much it."

Valensa nodded slightly, then tapped the table twice with her hand.

"Anything else? You said before that the friend system upgrade is just one of the systems I'll upgrade after completing my life level evolution, right? What other systems can be upgraded?"

"It's the trading system, of course."

The shop owner answered in a voice with almost no inflection:

"You should have realized it yourself by now, right? As your strength increases, many items that can be drawn from our blind box system are no longer of much use to you. Almost all items below the gold legendary level, and even many gold legendary items, can only be sold for money now, or they'll end up in storage."

But for many newcomers to the world of transmigration, each of these items could potentially change their fate… Just like the divine rune you initially drew, it helped you turn the tide many times during your early adventures, didn't it?”

"Well, that's true."

Valensa nodded slightly, then raised an eyebrow:

"So what? In order for those items to be available to those who need them, you're going to change the trading system for people like me who have already completed their life-level evolution?"

"Is such that."

The shop owner confirmed Valensa's guess and continued:

"The upgraded trading system will convert your draw attempts into Dimensional Coins at a 1:1 ratio, after which you can directly use Dimensional Coins to shop in the mall."

Of course, if you're particularly confident in your luck and still want to try your luck, you can buy the new blind boxes in the shop. Each new blind box costs 50 Dimensional Coins, but it won't give you any items below the Gold Legendary level.

"Dimensional coins... new blind boxes..."

Valencia fell into deep thought.

Dimensional coins are essentially the same as the number of times you can draw from blind boxes, just with a different name.

The new blind box with a guaranteed golden legendary item for 50 dimensional coins seems to have changed the previous guaranteed pity system from 100 pulls to 50 pulls, which seems like a win, but it's actually hard to say.

First of all, while the new blind box, which costs 50 Dimensional Coins, guarantees a gold legendary item, it only contains gold legendary items; all the purple rare items and blue/white byproducts are gone.

Secondly, those with good luck and those who are lucky will suffer huge losses. These people originally wouldn't need 50 pulls to get a golden legendary item, and they might even get miracles by doing single pulls every day.

However, it was quite profitable for Valensa... because when she opened blind boxes before, except for the time when she was blessed with a double yolk by the Sun Goddess, she almost always got the pity system.

As for those rare purple items and blue sky/white cloud byproducts, Valensa basically has no use for them now. For her, this change can be considered as reducing the price of golden legendary items by about one-third, which is not unacceptable.

"Let me take a look at the items and prices in the store first."

After a moment's thought, Valensa said this to the shop owner.

"Ok."

The shop owner readily agreed and shone a beam of light from his cube-shaped monitor head, creating a projected menu in front of Valensa that could be operated with a finger:

"This is the online store system. Please take your time to browse and purchase."

"Um……"

Valensa responded and eagerly opened the options in the projection menu to begin browsing.

The shop interface has a strong sense of déjà vu, similar to the in-game purchase interfaces of many games from my previous life. Each page has 5 rows of items, with 8 items in each row. The top displays the currency balance, the bottom has page turning buttons, the upper right corner is for precise search by item name, and the lower left corner is for setting filter conditions for targeted search.

Valensa first checked her currency balance: 1137 Dimensional Coins, which were indeed exchanged one-to-one using blind box draws.

Next is the first item on the product page, which is the new blind box that the shop owner mentioned.

Valensa gently pressed her finger against the new blind box to check the details and found that its official name was "Legendary Blind Box," and everything else was the same as the shop owner had said before.

Now that she could shop with precision, there was no need to rush to draw lots. Valensa continued browsing the various products and prices in the mall.

After flipping through a few pages and trying out the search function, Valensa quickly grasped some information about the online store.

It's fair to say that there are differences between even the best gold legendary items. The cheapest gold legendary item in the shop costs less than 30 Dimensional Coins, while the most expensive can sell for 999 Dimensional Coins... For example, the Chance Card that Valensa got from her second guaranteed pull is one of the most expensive items, worth 999 Dimensional Coins.

"The Chance Card is actually this expensive?"

Valensa couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Yes, the Chance Card is a very rare item... When you drew the Chance Card, Miss Valensa, didn't I say that you were very lucky?"

The shop owner echoed with a smiley face using soybeans:

"As for the reason... I think Miss Valensa should understand by now, right? The real power of the Chance Card is not that it lets you go to another world to pick up trash, but that it gives you the opportunity to meet transmigrators from other worlds and activate the friend system."

Miss Valensa, you and Miss Vivi must both know firsthand how much benefit transmigrators from different worlds can gain through resource exchange, right?

"Indeed, meeting Wei through the chance card was a great help to me."

Valensa nodded, then couldn't help but mutter a complaint:

"But I heard from Wei that she only did the pity pull more than twenty times and actually got three Lucky Cards? That person is too lucky... When she played mobile games in her past life, she must have been able to finish the battle in one 10-pull every time a new card pool was released, right?"

"Luck is also a part of strength."

The shop owner's expression remained a soybean-like smile:

"Actually, Miss Valensa is quite lucky... Although your luck with blind boxes is a bit bad, your luck with reincarnation is good. The bloodline of the evil god can definitely be considered a perfect start."

"That's true... Thinking about it carefully, while my own hard work and struggle are indispensable to my current achievements, the divine favor passed down from my father and the bloodline power given to me by my mother are equally essential."

Valensa quickly adjusted her mindset and continued browsing the online store.

She didn't rush to make a purchase. Instead, she used the function of searching by name to find all the golden legendary items she had drawn and check their prices.

The first thing to search is divine runes, which is a major category among golden legendary items. There are many similar items... There are more than 10 types of divine runes derived from the three laws of classical mechanics of Alice Newton, the goddess of mechanics.

Some of these divine runes are very useful while others are rather useless, but none of them are worth less than 200 Dimensional Coins. Considering that you can get one after 100 draws with a guaranteed drop, it's still quite profitable.

Valensa then checked the secondary core, which is a special item that doubles the maximum mana bar. It's not that expensive, only worth about 80 Dimensional Coins.

After the secondary core is the gold enhancement card that Valensa drew last time. This thing is also not very valuable, only worth 50 Dimensional Coins.

Valensa originally thought that the golden enhancement card, which could enhance special attributes, must be very powerful. However, she did not expect that the enhancement machine had its limits and was ineffective for people who had already completed the evolution of life level. It is not surprising that the enhancement card was worthless.

Needless to say, the "regret pill" is a rainbow-level item that has never appeared in the Dimensional Hardware Store before. It was given directly to Valensa by the Sun Goddess out of favoritism, and it is not available for sale in the store.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, the other golden legendary item that the Sun Goddess bestowed upon Valensa through the blind box system—the Divine Cloak—could not be found in the store.

Chapter 27 Shopping

Since the artifact cloak couldn't be found directly, Valensa thought for a moment and then searched for it by separating its functions.

This time, we'll have results.

There are still quite a few pieces of armor with Law-level fire damage immunity in this Dimensional Hardware Store's online store.

Armor, robes, boots, stockings, skirts, hats, underwear... the prices of these protective gear vary depending on the area they cover and the style they are designed to look good.

The cheapest boots and hats can be bought for only 60 Dimensional Coins, while the robes and full-body armor, which cover the largest area, are priced at 550 Dimensional Coins and 700 Dimensional Coins respectively.

Valensa's artifact cloak definitely doesn't cover as much area as the robe; a rough estimate would be around 400 dimensional coins, but this only applies to the Law-level fire damage immunity function.

So Valensa searched for storage items with a similar capacity to the artifact cloak, and this time there were many search results, and the prices weren't too high.

Depending on the style and portability of the props, the cheapest costs only 50 Dimensional Coins, while the most expensive does not exceed 150 Dimensional Coins.

While there isn't a cape style, there is a storage bra. Women with good figures who wear this bra will have a large four-dimensional bust with ample storage space. The bra itself is also quite nice and is worth 120 dimensional coins.

Valensa's magical cloak is probably not as good as this underwear in terms of storage function, but the difference should not be too great. It should be worth about 100 Dimensional Coins.

With the Law-level fire damage immunity worth 400 Dimensional Coins and the spatial storage worth 100 Dimensional Coins, the total value of the Divine Artifact Cloak is definitely not just 500 Dimensional Coins.

Valensa estimates that the true value of this artifact cloak should be 700 Dimensional Coins, or even higher.

All things considered, Valensa felt that she wasn't particularly unlucky... Although she always had to rely on the pity system to get a golden legendary item, she still managed to pull quite a few good items.

After checking the value of the legendary gold items I've drawn before, the next step is naturally to choose the items I want to buy this time.

Valensa hesitated for a moment, then bought the large-capacity storage underwear she had seen earlier, which cost 120 dimensional coins.

Although she already had a magical cloak, Tia didn't have any useful large-capacity storage items. She often had to hang four or five different small-capacity storage bags in her skirt to store daily necessities, spellcasting materials, gold coins, and other items.

Therefore, Valensa plans to give this large-capacity storage underwear to Tia.

Moreover, this storage underwear is made of some unknown material, but it feels very nice to the touch. If you give it to Tia to wear, Valensa can enjoy it often.

After purchasing the storage underwear, Valensa had 1017 Dimensional Coins remaining.

Although the Yuan Coins are obtained by exchanging blind box draws one-to-one, they cannot be replenished by spending real money like blind box draws can be obtained. They can only be obtained by pleasing the great beings behind the Dimensional Hardware Store.

Therefore, Valensa does not intend to use up all her Dimensional Coins at once... As a cautious female knight, she needs to keep enough Dimensional Coins to buy countermeasures when needed.

Based on her previous browsing of the shops, Valensa believes that a reserve of around 500 Dimensional Coins is appropriate for purchasing these tactical items.

In other words, half of the money that can be spent is still left.

So what should I buy?

Valencia's first thought was, of course, of items that could enhance combat power.

However, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she seemed to be quite capable now and did not have any particularly obvious weaknesses.

Even if you need high-level enchanted weapons and equipment, you can borrow them from the Church of the Sun's warehouse using your status as an Inner Templar Knight. There seems to be no need to spend precious Dimensional Coins to buy them.

In other words, when using dimensional coins to shop, it's best to buy things that don't exist in this world.

Valencia's first thought was, of course, of all kinds of high-tech products.

I don't dream of spaceships, but a spaceship the size of a campervan would be fine too... Although it might not be as practical as Tia's arcane carriage, spaceships are so cool.

Unfortunately, the store's online mall has some limitations. You can buy all sorts of powerful, law-level magical items, but technological products are very scarce.

It's not entirely true that there's none... The alloy longsword and shield that Valensa drew before, and even that assassination ring, were actually products of high-tech industry.

However, this high-tech industrial product seems to be limited to cold weapons... The mall sells black technology alloy blades with molecular cutting capabilities, but it doesn't even sell old-fashioned rifles from World War II.

There are magic scrolls with communication functions that are even better than mobile phones, yet they don't even have basic mobile phones for the elderly.

It seems that the Dimensional Hardware Store will not sell products that are beyond the current understanding of world civilization.

Valensa asked the shop owner to confirm her guess and received an affirmative answer.

With her plans to buy high-tech products completely shattered, Valensa could only gather her thoughts and continue thinking about what else she might need right now.

Since her strength had increased significantly, her previous combat experience was not very useful. Valensa mainly recalled the intense sparring and training she had had with Rika and Fran recently.

As it turned out, she did discover a problem.

Her stockings couldn't keep up with the wear and tear.

The stockings that Ms. Dana handcrafted are already considered top-of-the-line stockings. They not only have super sweat absorption and self-cleaning functions, but are also very strong, wear-resistant, tear-resistant, and cut-resistant, and can completely withstand lighthouse-level combat.

However, these stockings can only be considered clothing, not professional combat protective gear, and cannot withstand the combat intensity of a Radiant Rank.

In previous sparring training sessions, Valensa lost many of her black stockings... either accidentally punctured by Rika's golden spear or torn apart by Fran's fiery claws.

Even if they are very careful, it is still difficult to avoid.

Ms. Dina is definitely the world's top stocking maker. Even the stockings she makes cannot meet the high-intensity combat needs of female elite warriors. Others probably can't either... unless they use very expensive materials.

But that would be more troublesome and time-consuming.

and so……
