Chapter 125: Access.

A large backpack with durability that might drop to zero at any time, this choice might require repeated thinking for others, but for Xiao Fen, it was not a problem at all.

Gems, he had them, and they were top-quality Gems as Sylvia said.

Weapon Crafting Master, he could become one at any time, and the ability to repair this kind of large backpack was also within his reach.

As for other materials, as long as there were Gene Points, these were not problems.

The only problem was that he didn’t have enough Gene Points.

Even if he sold one Healing Potion, he would only have 1,200 Gene Points, which was still nearly 1,400 Gene Points short of buying this backpack. Although the Auction House provided credit and guarantee services for Gene Points, lacking 1,400 Gene Points here was likely to affect Xiao Fen’s subsequent upgrade speed.

While Xiao Fen was struggling, Aizawa Reika suddenly said: “If I were you, I wouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to upgrade. The various skills in your existing abilities haven’t been fully digested yet. Before your physical attributes have fully exerted their effects, blind upgrading will instead cause more problems. Among Trialists, the best upgrade record is to raise oneself to Level 3 in one year. It’s not a lack of Gene Points, but to lay a better foundation for preparing to gradually detach from the Trialist’s Trial World after entering Level 4.”

Xiao Fen raised his head and glanced at Aizawa Reika. The black-rimmed glasses seemed to be emitting a kind of intelligent brilliance at this moment. It was not an exaggeration to call it an intellectual beauty.

He nodded and said: “Okay, I will pay another Healing Potion, and for the remaining Gene Points, I will borrow from the Auction House.”

Aizawa Reika smiled slightly and asked: “Since it is a loan, why not choose another Poison Making Scroll? You will need it anyway. And if you obtain the same Poison Making Scroll in the next Trial World and hand it to the Auction House, we will directly convert it into equivalent Gene Points. However, for you, this is equivalent to using tomorrow’s skills today, isn’t it?”

Xiao Fen looked at Aizawa Reika for a while, shook his head firmly, and said: “No, I am not used to this way of consumption. To put it bluntly, I don’t like being tied down by the Auction House due to constant borrowing, eventually leading to a situation where I am no longer myself. My credit limit must be under the figure that I can repay and have a slight surplus after the next Trial Mission ends.”

Aizawa Reika looked at Xiao Fen, the corner of her mouth raised slightly, and said: “It’s a pity you didn’t choose this path, but on the other hand, your choice is very wise. Controlling one’s credit limit is something that every mature Trialist and even Awakened must learn. However, quite a number of Trialists eventually get lost in this process of spending the future in advance and finally lose themselves.”

For some reason, Xiao Fen suddenly remembered the female Trialist he met downstairs a few days ago. He thought of the gloomy look of that female Trialist when she left the small hut, and the pungent smell of blood in that small house.

He lowered his head and rechecked the Poison Making Scrolls on the tablet computer, finally selected two scrolls, and said: “I’ll take these two scrolls. When can I get them?”

“Wait a moment. The scrolls you need will be directly transferred to your Warehouse. You can check directly through the console trading system, and then you transfer out your Healing Potion. After that, the backpack will be handed to you.”

Xiao Fen nodded, called out the Light Screen, and checked the trading options. Sure enough, the two Poison Making Scrolls were in the process of transferring. Without hesitation, he selected the trade for the Healing Potion, turned to look at Aizawa Reika, and said: “To me, this is really a big transaction. Over ten thousand Gene Points just circled in front of my eyes and then disappeared without a trace. If this keeps happening, I suspect I will get heart disease.”

Aizawa Reika covered her mouth and laughed. She said: “Thanks to your patronage, I have gained a lot of performance today. I hope we can meet again here after you come out of the Trial World next time.”

Xiao Fen shrugged and said: “Who knows, maybe next time, there won’t be my nameplate here.”

Aizawa Reika didn’t say much more, and Xiao Fen wasn’t interested in continuing to discuss these things. The two just remained silent in the reception room for a while until the door was knocked. Aizawa Reika walked out, and after a while, she walked in holding a small leather bag.

“This is your leather bag. If you use it sparingly enough, the remaining durability of this leather bag is enough for you to rise to Level 4.”

Xiao Fen took the leather bag and checked it through the Light Screen. Soon, new data emerged in front of his eyes.

“Damaged Alfred’s Backpack: Backpack, Natural Item”

“Quality: Exquisite Level”

“Durability: 13/42”

“Space backpack with a volume of 10 cubic meters”

“Special Effect: Lightweight”

“The weight of all materials in the backpack is not shown, and the backpack weight remains constant”

“Note: Can only be used under the gaze of Yggdrasil, and can only be loaded and unloaded in environments allowed by Yggdrasil”

“Don’t put yourself in it, that’s not a good idea”

Xiao Fen looked up with a bitter smile and said: “Less than half durability? This doesn’t even have one-third durability, right?”

Aizawa Reika also smiled and said: “In the Level 1 Trial World, such durability is enough, unless you plan to use this backpack as a bulletproof vest. Although the material of this backpack is enough even as a bulletproof vest.”

Xiao Fen shook his head, stood up, shook hands with Aizawa Reika politely, then turned and left the Auction House.

From now on, all his pre-war preparations were completed. What remained was to wait for the new Trial Mission to begin.

Returning to his room, Xiao Fen first upgraded his Weapon Crafting skill. After one Gold Point, a large amount of information immediately emerged.

“Congratulations, you have become a Weapon Crafting Master”

“Weapon Crafting: Advanced. You gain the ability to repair Exquisite Level Natural Items, and you can attach an additional attribute ability to Natural Item weapons.”

“Sharp Edge: Increases sharpness.”

“Lightness: Reduces weapon weight.”

“After the character reaches Level 4, investing more research can improve the Weapon Crafting skill.”

Xiao Fen was stunned for a moment; there was no hint at all on how to repair the durability of that backpack. It seemed that simply being a Weapon Crafting Master was not enough.

He shook his head and temporarily put these thoughts behind him. Just as he picked up the poison crafting scroll in his Warehouse to study it, a large number of fragments suddenly began to appear around him. This was a sign of spatial transfer. However, this time, the spatial transfer came without warning—sudden and abrupt.

Xiao Fen froze slightly. Before the surroundings had completely changed, he reached out and grabbed the backpack, a bottle of Healing Potion, the Poison Sac on the shelf, Farrah’s research components, and some unknown potions. He bundled a whole pile of things into his arms in a flurry. In the next second, the environment around him had changed drastically.
