GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1880: Not Expensive.

The store was full of weapons, artifacts, and equipment ranging from footwear to armor. They were very powerful, but the more he saw, the more his expression fell.

They were just too expensive for him. He was beginning to feel tempted to steal. The fact that there was no visible store manager made it look deceptively easy to steal. But he didn't do so.

Instead he grumbled, "This is too expensive."

Ragna appeared in the air beside him and asked, "Why don't you steal it?"

He laughed and shook his head. "I am an upright man. I can't do that."

Ragnar apologized, "My bad then. Take it as if I never mentioned it."

He chuckled as he remembered what had happened to the last person that was caught stealing. Her skin, muscles, and organs were all removed, leaving behind a bloody living skeleton.

Then her naked skin was draped over the skeleton like a coat in order to preserve his dignity and stop him from catching a cold. That's what Ragnar said as he displayed the woman in front of everyone.

He can already tell which is worse between losing one's skin and having it draped over them as cloth for their skeleton. He also knows what not to do to avoid having to make that choice.

He changed the subject. "The weapon is powerful and all, but it is too expensive. It looks like a teaser equipment that we can't possibly afford."

Ragnar shook his head in disagreement. "No, it is not too expensive. Legendary Swords are very rare. They are rarer than divine weapons even though divine weapons are more powerful than legendary weapons."

"This is because there are many gods, and anyone of them can make divine weapons. But there are very few mortals who can create something like this. Most humans that forge something like this eventually go on to become gods themselves, which further reduces the availability of legendary weapons."

"This is not a teaser item, as you called it. In fact, this is the best opportunity to encounter a legendary weapon in all of God's Domain. You will be hard-pressed to find one after the training."

"Legendary swords are not even sold outside of the training facility. You will notice the binding ability. It means that legendary weapons can't change owners until the previous owner dies. So you won't be able to sell it after you get it. No one will be able to steal it either."

Taylor's face fell. He asked, "Doesn't that mean people will try to kill me for it?"

Ragnar nodded. "Exactly. So it is not expensive at all. Anything you can buy with money is not expensive. Out there and you will need to risk your life to acquire it. If you think a legendary weapon can make you a god, doesn't that mean you will have to kill a god for it?"

He rolled his eyes and said, "Fine. It is not expensive. But I still don't think a single person can acquire enough training points to buy it."

Ragna scoffed. "Maybe a single person is not strong enough to acquire it, but there are certainly enough missions and training points as rewards from them to buy it. If someone manages to accumulate a lot of the training points that others acquire, then they will be able to afford a legendary weapon. It is that simple."

Taylor's face twitched when he heard Ragnar call, accumulating the training points that everyone has earned, simple.

He thought about it and realized that Ragna was right about how to acquire a legendary weapon. A and B-ranked missions have a total of 1,000,000,000 rewards available each. That means technically two people can afford the legendary weapons if everyone helps them.

But he still didn't see anything simple about it, so he shook his head. "It is possible, but it will be very difficult."

Ragna shrugged, "Maybe it is difficult. But only someone who manages to do something like that is worthy of a legendary weapon."

Taylor chuckled. "I guess I am not worthy of a legendary weapon then. I will stick with normal weapons."

Ragna advised, "The stats of weapons might be the same, but that doesn't mean every weapon will perform the same. Pay attention to length, shape, weight, and balance. Only when a weapon suits you will you be able to make full use of it. A poor weapon will affect your execution of skills and hinder you when you fight."

Taylor took his advice seriously. It is especially so since he has only one arm and can't balance himself as well as others. He needs to take special care in choosing his weapon.

But the more he read, the more daunting he realized the task of finding a suitable weapon. Not only are there differences in physical features, there are also differences in durability. It meant some weapons were fragile and more likely to break than others.

Since he could only afford normal weapons, there was no difference in their abilities. In fact, they didn't have any abilities. There was nothing special about normal weapons. They just had more stat boosts than others.

He eventually chose a level 10 sword. It would add 9 points to his strength, which is almost double his original strength. So the sword raised his strength to 14 and increased his output from 25.5 to 71.4. It is a direct tripling of his strength.

It cost him 10,000 training points to buy. He wanted to get a level 11, but it cost 13,000 training points. It was the same case in every other type of weapon and artifact sold. There was a drastic change from level 10 to level 11.

Weapons generally became more durable and cost far more for each incremental increase in their attribute boost. So he had to settle for a level 10 sword if he intends to outfit himself with armor and footwear. He just doesn't have the training points for something more expensive.
