Chapter 666 Extra: Su Zhen's Recommendation
Milk was still currently in the room, discussing with Jin's demon exorcists with regards to the upcoming expedition. She knew Jin's hidden agenda for sending them to the north of Shenzhen, so she was keeping a close eye to make sure that they were prepared for it, at least physically.
"I believe I can handle our accommodations. The Royal Ox Zodiac Clan have quite a huge presence in Dongguan, so it should be easy for me to pull some strings around to get a decent lodging before the arrival of Chinese New Year." Rong suggested, and the rest agreed to it immediately.
"Aside from the fact that we are currently earning measly peanuts from Jin, I have more than enough money to spare for you guys to buy equipment." Lein generously offered to the group though Su Zhen and Lian somehow felt bad taking it.
"Don't be. You could say I am a bit ashamed of my previous haughty behaviour and thought that I would be the first and best candidate to get promoted. Turns out I have much to learn... And hey look at it this way! I have yet to give you guys your Christmas presents." He immediately recalled how Jin still appreciated their presence and efforts even though they demeaned him.
"Hmm, I guessed its reasonable if it's your way of giving Christmas presents to us." Su Zhen nodded her head and did not refuse the offer.
"Honestly, I would prefer some of the clothing in Jin's store compared to the equipment he sells. I mean, our Royal Armoury ought to have better equipment than what's offered here." Lian countered, but Rong surprisingly disagreed with her.
"I have actually bought a few axes and hammers from this place and gave it to my Royal Armourer as well. They were astounded by the quality of it. My uncle, who was in the weapon development said that some of the Grade 5 weapons were more durable than his Grade 10s. He even asked me to buy every single piece for him to test it out when I have the time." Rong divulged to the whole group, which made Milk deliver a smug smile.
"Of course, while we import a few of our stuff in, most of our weapons were hand made by the best people." Milk wanted to openly praise Blacksmith Vulcan's skills in creating those weapons, but she knew that they would not believe if Milk said that all those weapons were made by one person.
Vulcan could have also created better grade weapons, but the System was locking his abilities and his production until Jin was powerful enough to handle high grade cultivators.
"Our inscriptions are the best top notch too if you have not noticed. This is also why you guys can mix and match any items of clothing for defensive purposes."
"But you guys do not have high grade combat armours right? The one meant for pure defence instead of daily use." Su Zhen did not doubt Milk's, but this was one thing she noticed was lacking in Jin's armour store.
"That I won't deny. We have a 'few' weavers who could create decent defensive articles of clothing, but they are not to the point they could be compared to high grade combat armours. However, considering that we are selling quality defensive inscriptions, it should not be a problem for most cultivators." Milk explained, and though it looked as if Su Zhen had something at the tip of her tongue, she continued on.
"Besides, we have trustworthy contacts to import such high grade combat armour, and I believe Jin will release them when the time is right. After all, this is a dungeon store, not the Royal Armourer. It will be scary if our normal cultivators are decked out with combat armour, right?"
"I see. While it's okay for dungeon practice, sometimes high defensive grade armour would be needed for real practical fights. Since we will be opening up to the Demon Exorcists, I believe we should look into that portion too." Su Zhen said and started to write an address on a piece of paper.
"I feel that Boss Jin should have an inhouse armourer too. I have a frien- erm... an associate that specialises in the production of high grade combat armour. He is, however, very difficult to find since he doesn't stay in one place." Milk took the piece of paper and looked at the address.
"If so, why did you pass me this particular address?" Milk queried.
"The Royal Snake Clan used to contact him to make us some customised armour in the past, but I must confess, it was with much difficulty. Similar to your store, his a crazy miracle worker. He can easily make a piece of shirt withstand a blow from a Grade 10 monster from cheap raw materials." Su Zhen said, and Lian believed she heard of such an associate too. Subsequently, Rong and Lein attested to such a rumour and did not know that it was true, only to remember her mother was the COO of JODE.
"Imagine getting him to seriously work for you, he would definitely be able to make a miracle. Some even say the ministers had people secretly scouting for him so they can pay a visit to him." Su Zhen expressed herself vividly.
"My mom gave this address to me and told me to look up for him at this address. She said that if I was lucky, I would be able to meet him. But after trying a few times, it was needless to say, I have no luck right now. Maybe, meeting him had some requirements or maybe it was perchance." Su Zhen added and told Milk and the rest of her friends that he had no name except the moniker the Ghost Armourer.
"What makes you think Jin can find him?" Milk chuckled a little upon hearing the whole story.
"I do not know, I feel like Boss can do the impossible, and if he could really recruit the Ghost Armourer to his shop, his fame will shoot up to the roof. Of course, it's just wild speculations."
"Heh, I will pass the message to him when I have the time." Milk smiled and texted a message to the person who scoffed at the word impossible.
The Devilman.
