THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

The person sent a message this morning as well.

Whoever this person was had been very persistent and sent Ivan a message every single day.

After staring blankly at the messages for a while, Ivan finally typed.

"Who are you?"

Ivan sent the message and pushed the matter of the anonymous person to the back of his mind, he opened his profile and checked his balance.

A surprised look crossed his face as the figures displaying on the screen of his communicator reflected in his eyes.

"So many," Ivan mumbled softly. He had never seen so much money before in his life and never dreamt of owning so much.

He previously still had over 400k bucks after all the expenses spent on his Villa and payment for the workers before coming to the dreamscape; his current balance, however, nearly sent him into shock.

¶20,400,300!

He now had an additional twenty million bucks in his profile!

"Damn, no wonder Nexulytes are so wealthy. I got ten million bucks!" Glen suddenly exclaimed from the side.

He wasn't the only one, Ralph and Karin got the same amount as well. Clint didn't say it, but they could more or less guess that he got the same amount from his indifferent expression.

Ivan decided not to say that he got twice the amount of the other, it might ruin their mood. He guessed that it was probably because he had been in charge of the mission, that was why he got paid more.

After checking their balance, the group headed for the equipment vault to take a look.

The equipment vault was the biggest structure in the base, so it was very easy to find; they approached and could hear the sounds of heavy machinery within the building that was as large as a stadium; it could even be larger, considering how far it stretched into the distance.

The place was just like last time when they came to get their land carrier; many people with mechanic talents and carrying different tools could be seen moving around the place while large mechanical arms carried heavy pieces of metal around.

"What might you guys be looking for?"

Someone approached them and asked after they stood in one place for just a few seconds; Ralph relayed his intentions about wanting to get a piece of equipment.

"Oh, this way then." The person with a half-transformed arm said and beckoned for them to follow him; he had a mechanic talent as well.

The group followed him and walked deeper into the equipment vault, only now did they realize just how huge the equipment vault was on the inside; it was bigger than it looked on the outside.

They walked for a few minutes before arriving in a large square-shaped room that had a space of at least 50 meters. Not many people could be seen in this place as there was no active work going on here. Many long transparent tables that shone with white light filled the place, and inside these tables were different kinds of equipment.

More of these tables were lined on the wall of the room as well and more equipment was being displayed inside them.

A man with a short, screw cut hairstyle immediately approached them after they entered the place.

"What do you want to buy?" The man asked, his tone wasn't overly polite but wasn't rude either.

"Not me, these young people are the ones who want to buy something." The person who brought them here said before turning to leave, saying that he had other things to do.

Ralph thanked him before facing the man in screw cut.

Ralph proceeded to tell him the type of equipment he was looking for. Since he had no specific thing in mind, he could only ask for suggestions about weapons.

"That's not a problem, I'll show you a few of our best weapons. What price range might you be looking for? The higher your budget, the better the equipment I'll be able to recommend." The man stated.

Ralph hesitated before asking the man what the price range was, the five of them were startled when they heard the man's response.

"You can get any low-grade equipment for 2 million bucks, but these are not very useful and can get damaged easily since they are not made with durable materials. If you want a nice equipment that will serve you well, a budget of 10 to 50 million bucks will be fine; anything below this is basically trash if you plan on going out more often and don't have a combat type talent. Of course, you can still go higher; you can get more powerful equipment for 100 million bucks and above." The man explained while making hand gestures.

" I only have a budget of… 5 million," Ralph said in a low tone after listening to the man's explanation. He was shocked to realize that he might not even be able to get a decent weapon with his entire payment!

'No wonder Miss Elora said that the journey of a Nexulyte isn't cheap.' he exclaimed inwardly.

The man's face immediately turned awkward when he heard Ralph's words but he quickly relaxed and let out a few coughs to clear his throat.

"5 million, 5 million isn't too bad. You can still get a good weapon for that, too; it won't be too bad." He said, conveniently ignoring the fact that he calls everything below 10 million 'trash.'

Ralph nodded and asked the man to lead the way. Before they started looking for the equipment for Ralph, the man asked if Ivan and the others wanted to get something as well. They immediately shook their heads, unlike Ralph, they had no strong desire to get a weapon. Why would they spend half or all of their earnings when they just got rich?

"All right, you can look around in the meantime, then." He said before asking Ralph to follow him.

They moved from one table to another as the man showed Ralph the various equipment that he could buy with 5 million bucks. They ranged from swords to shooting equipment and even energy throwers. But Ralph wasn't satisfied with any of these, so they kept looking; he had spotted some good-looking equipment at times, like the dual crystal daggers and a plasma pistol, but the price that the man called immediately made Ralph give up on them.

The dual crystal daggers were two short transparent daggers that were only a few centimeters long and could turn invisible; the man said that the user could make it turn invisible with their Nexus energy and even control it from a ten-meter distance with their energy.

Ralph was fascinated by the attributes of the daggers and wanted to buy them but learned that the pair of daggers cost 60 million bucks!

The plasma pistol was still a nice piece of equipment that could shoot lasers that could travel for up to 5 kilometers and could easily take down a monster that was as strong as a Domain Lord. Ralph didn't need to know more to know that this five-inch pistol was god-killing equipment, but its price was even more monstrous than the Duggars.

The words "300 million bucks" had almost deafened him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ralph was starting to get disappointed; none of the equipment that was within the five million bucks range was satisfactory enough. None of them would have been helpful in some of the scenarios that they had experienced during their mission.

At this moment, Leon suddenly sighted something. Resting peacefully inside a small round table was a small nano watch that looked exactly like a wristband. It looked plain without any form of designs on it but for some reason, Ralph felt it was special.

" What's that?" He pointed at the small watch and asked.

The man looked over, and his eyes landed on the watch; he walked over with a casual expression and explained.

" You sure have good eyes, lad, sadly, this thing is above 5 million. This is the Nano watch, but it's not your typical watch for checking time; the only similarities it has with our usual watch are the three modes that reflect the hour, minute, and second sticks in watches." The man said before explaining further.

Just like the three moving hands of a clock, the Nano watch has three modes that it could change into once activated.

One was becoming a laser shooter that could shoot a target from a distance of five hundred meters; the second mode was a sword that could cut through the hardest steel, and its sharpness could be further enhanced by coating it with Nexus energy; the last mode was the Nano shield. In the Nano shield mode, the Nano watch would release a five-meter tall and two-meter wide transparent shield that was capable of blocking the attack of a Domain Lord.

Ralph was awed when he heard the explanation, the Nano watch was an amazing piece of equipment!

"How much is it?" He could not help but ask. The use of the Nano watch was so great that Ralph was willing to spend all of his 10 million bucks on it; he still had over 300k from the previous and could manage with that for the time being.

The man hesitated before saying.

" It costs 15 million,"
