231 The World Competition Is About To Begin (Part 3)
He directly smashed the body of the radioactive creature.
There was no rule that butchers could not use heavy weapons such as iron hammers.
A C-level alloy weapon would cost at least tens of millions of origin coins. Even if Ning Shi sold the materials in his hands, such as the black horn and green eye, he would only get about a million origin coins in total.
It was still far from a C-level alloy weapon.
The best way was still to find a heavy hammer first.
Ning Shi had a lot of experience in using heavy weapons. His previous two sabers weighed thousands of kilograms.
Thinking of this, Ning Shi returned to the stronghold. After taking a shower, he changed his clothes and pushed out a motorcycle from the warehouse. He rode it to the gate of City 3.
At the entrance, the mercenaries were lining up to enter the city. The map information near Exit 3 was not accurate recently, and the number of mercenaries hunting here had decreased.
But the line was still not short.
Some of the mercenaries were happy because they had gained a lot. Some of them were expressionless, and it was hard to guess what they were thinking. Some of them were sad, probably because their comrades had died.
Ning Shi was mixed in the team and looked a little strange because the mercenaries were carrying all kinds of helium weapons in their hands, wearing all kinds of protective clothing, and wearing radiation protection masks.
Only Ning Shi, who had his butcher knife in his backpack, was empty-handed and dressed in casual clothes.
But the more it was like this, the more the other mercenaries respected Ning Shi.
No one was a fool. Someone who dared to wear such clothes in the wild and could return to the city alive must be a strong person with special abilities.
After waiting in line for an hour, it was finally Ning Shi’s turn.
The security officer at the checkpoint window, wearing a thick radiation protection suit, said to Ning Shi coldly.
“Give me your ID card and your communication ID. You can only enter after I verify your identity.
“After entering, you must first go to the isolation area to take a chemical bath and be isolated for three hours. Only after the radiation elements in your body have been eliminated can you enter the city.”
Ning Shi did as he was told and gave his communication ID to the waiter, then handed over his identity card.
After seeing Ning Shi’s message, the security officer’s cold expression immediately melted, and he squeezed out an ugly smile on his face.
“Mr. Ning, you’re a third-class citizen of the Norse Republic, so you don’t need to line up to enter and exit the checkpoint. Next time, you can go to the passage on the right side of the checkpoint. That is the VIP passage specially opened for VIPs like you.
“In view of your distinguished identity, you don’t need to be isolated this time and can directly enter the city.”
Ning Shi was not a native of the Norse Republic. He kept forgetting that he was a third-class citizen and had many privileges, wasting an hour of waiting in line.
“Thank you!”
Ning Shi took the documents handed back by the security officer. After thanking him politely, he walked into the pass.
After the others entered the pass, they all turned left and followed a corridor to enter an isolated area. Only Ning Shi went straight into the city.
No one had any objection to this. In the Norse Republic, everyone was used to this kind of hierarchy and privilege.
This was the contradiction of the Republican Party. In the Norse Republic, the republican forces did not pursue true equality. They were more about representing the interests of the elite.
The Republican Party’s program of action not only promoted equality but also emphasized that excessive equality would dispel the enthusiasm for human progress.
Therefore, they set up a citizen hierarchy in the entire Republic to distinguish the rights of different citizens and to ensure the many rights of the Republican Party as social elites.
Strictly speaking, the idea of the Republican Party was to abolish the aristocratic class and pursue relative equality, which meant that citizens of the same class had equal rights.
There was no equality between the lower-class citizens and the high-class citizens. The lowest-class citizens were still the targets of exploitation.
It was just that the republican means of exploitation was not as naked and ugly as the nobles’.
Ning Shi’s experience of this became more and more profound, and he also enjoyed the tangible benefits.
After entering the mercenary market, anyone who bought or traded in the market would have to pay taxes, but because of his status as a third-class citizen, he was exempted from tax.
According to the laws of the republic, citizens of the third class and above were exempted from tax when it came to their personal transactions. Citizens of the third class and above also enjoyed many tax concessions and policy support when they set up companies.
There was really a hierarchy and privileges everywhere.
The mercenary market was very prosperous. There were tall buildings, streams of people, and neon signs. It was a feast for the eyes.
There were road signs and electronic screen maps everywhere in the market. Ning Shi took a look and found that the market was divided into East and West markets.
There were many scantily dressed girls in the West market, standing on the streets and flirting with the mercenaries who came and went. The food and drinks on the side of the road were all from big food stalls and small restaurants. Even the decorations of the casinos and bio-pharmaceutical stores were in tatters.
The East market was completely different. It was filled with luxury clubs, and each club provided a one-stop service, including weapons trading, material trading, prostitution, gambling, and so on. As long as you had money, you could be the emperor in the club.
It was obvious that the East and West markets were developed for different groups of people.
The East market was open to the nobles, elites, and the higher-ups of the mercenaries, while the West market was open to the lower-level mercenaries.
Ning Shi did not hesitate and directly entered the West market.
After avoiding the entanglement of several women with smokey makeup, Ning Shi came to a shop, grocery store No. 3.
He sold more than a dozen black horns from the three-horned elks and two green-eyed wolves to the grocery store for 1.09 million origin coins.
Then, he ordered an alloy battle hammer from the grocery store.
In the Norse Republic, alloy materials were usually used to make warships, mechas, or helium weapons. Very few people used cold weapons, and the grocery store did not have any alloy battle hammers in stock.
Ning Shi stated his request, that the weapon must be big and heavy, and the boss indicated that there was no problem.
He then placed a bid of one million origin coins.
This price was very fair. If there were no special circumstances, this was the price for an E-level alloy weapon.
Ning Shi readily paid 300,000 origin coins as a deposit and promised to come to pick up the goods tomorrow morning.
The Norse Republic was a country that could make mechas. Its industrial capacity was very strong, and the process of making weapons was very fast.
Basically, if they were to make an order today, they would only need to wait for the production line to free up a little bit of time, and they would be able to get an alloy Battle hammer in a few minutes.
E-level alloy was not always the same. E-level was only the strength level of the alloy.
They were both E-level alloys, but they could be light and tensile, or heavy and thick.
Depending on the buyer’s needs, the ratio of the alloy could be changed to change the weight or appearance of the weapon.
As such, most E-level alloy weapons were sold individually, not by size or weight.
After settling the weapons, Ning Shi saw that it was very late and was too lazy to run back and forth, so he found a decent and convenient hotel to stay in.
The next morning, Ning Shi came to the grocery store. After paying the final payment, he got his alloy battle hammer.
The battle hammer was silver-white in color, and the body of the hammer was integrated into one. It shone with the unique luster of the alloy, which was very cool.
The handle was 160cm long, and the head of the battle hammer was the size of a water tank, looking very domineering. The total weight reached 1398 pounds, which was just right for Ning Shi’s current physique.
Ning Shi was very satisfied. With this big hammer, when he encountered three-horned elks in the future, he would no longer need to use a butcher’s knife to cut them. He could directly use the hammer to smash their heads!
Ning Shi grabbed the battle hammer and waved it a few times. His hands began to itch, and he couldn’t wait to immediately go to the wild to find the radioactive creatures and fight them.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a message from Joseba on the game character panel.
[ Joseba: My Lord, the Mieln Federation’s diplomatic envoy has invited me to participate in a competition called the Global Young Awakeners Martial Arts Competition. I really want to return to the Mieln Federation and fulfill my long-cherished wish. Please allow me to do so. ]
Without Ning Shi’s order, Joseba did not dare to enter the Saturn world at will.
Seeing this message, Ning Shi’s heart moved.
Time really passed by quickly. The Global Young Awakeners Martial Arts Competition was about to begin and his three disciples were all participants.
The competition was not only a stage for his disciples to show off their skills, but it was also related to the honor and real interests of the Yunmeng Kingdom. It was very important.
For this competition, Ning Shi had to be present to watch.
He left a message for Joseba.
[ You can go, but you are not allowed to act rashly unless you want to take revenge. ]
After that, he changed the perspective and left the game avatar to the system to hang up, while his consciousness returned to his main body.
