Chapter 16: Way too many facilities
"Apis, are there any kinds of hot weapons available to buy?" Being brought up in India, guns were something that he couldn’t imagine. When he asked Apis that question, he was expecting a negative answer too, but then Apis dropped the bombshell.
"In many civilizations, guns are forbidden, but there are places which are not under the rule of any civilizations. Coincidentally, this planet is one of those places. And places like this are where people are allowed to own or sell any kinds of guns. Starting from small handheld guns to planet destroyers, if you have the money. It is also to be mentioned that rare metals like gold and others can also be bought or sold on such planets which are not under the control of any civilization...." Apis wanted to say more.
"You mean I can buy guns here?" Aric stopped Apis, interjecting.
"Yes, you can get one delivered right now," Apis replied.
"Show me the guns," Aric said. The small watch’s hologram lit up and started showing different kinds of guns. It started from standard metal guns, which he had seen in his previous life, to plasma pistols and ion blasters, to rail guns, and even temporal blasters.
Aric’s eyes widened as he saw the different options he had. The guns came with depictions of what each one of them could do, and he was happy to say that even the cheapest gun here could triumph over all the guns in his own world.
Aric said that because the metal guns actually cost more than the plasma guns, as they were expensive to make and mostly used as decoration for some civilizations. He saw the price, and a basic plasma pistol was 1500 sora credits.
He didn’t waste a second to buy one, and it was to be delivered in under 5 minutes. While he waited, he also ordered a health and a dental pack. The official name of the health pack was regenerative nanobots processing function, or RNPF for short, but people termed them as health packs as they would help in healing a wound, be it a cut or bruise. The nanobots would sew up a cut if required or heal the tissue before dying themselves or replacing the tissues.
The nanobots were like stem cells but more advanced. He also ordered a dental pack which would heal his loose tooth. Having a loose tooth was more painful at the moment. His adrenaline had helped him deal with the pain, but now it was slowly kicking in.
