Chapter 155: Shopping Spree
“Dear guests, what is your approximate budget?” the saleslady asked as they walked out to the stables-like warehouse, where dozens of Skyrunners were showcased.
The trio let their smallest member with the mask answer.
“A-about twenty red crystals f-for the Skyrunner with a consumption of n-no more than ten Qi stones per hour.”
So far, the Skyrunner Li Lang received from Elder Cao only expended one Qi stone per hour. It was the most basic model there was. In turn, it meant it was slow.
With some wealth under their belt, and Li Lang’s ability to earn taken into consideration, they obviously chose something much better than their old one. Still, the group decided not to get ahead of themselves and set a modest budget of around twenty red crystals.
The main consideration behind their decision was the consumption. Ten Qi stones per hour were already quite a bit over their current earning ability, but they didn’t travel every day.
“Hmm, ten Qi stones, so we’ll be taking a look at the most basic Earth-grade Skyrunners or the peak of the Mortal-grade. Personally, I would recommend the latter, because you’ll be able to use both red crystals and Qi stones. In the event of an emergency, you’d also be able to power it with your own Qi, unlike the Earth-grade ones.”
Earth-grade items required Foundation Establishment level Qi to power. It was something Li Lang had investigated long ago, where he found Qi had a qualitative change once it reached a certain saturation point. Until one of them broke through, they would have to rely on red crystals to power the Earth-grade Skyrunner if they bought it.
No one objected to the salesperson’s recommendation, as their safety was on the line, so they soon found themselves inside one of the Skyrunner warehouses. Dozens of small gates decorated both sides, presenting a clear view of the vehicles behind them. The scene still made Li Lang expect a horse’s head to come poking out at any time, but that was evidently not going to happen.
“So there are quite a few options that fit your criteria. Most Mortal-grade vehicles don’t consume that many Qi stones. There are only about three we have on hand that have such a high consumption.”
“We’ll t-take a look at those, t-then.”
The employee did her job, guiding them to the vehicles, and went over the specifics of each of them. Li Lang was sure she went into such detail because she recognized Wei Ping as someone who knew his stuff. The conversation wasn’t exactly hard to follow, except for the various names of materials they mentioned.
