Returning to the main page, Chen Fan saw the exchange options.
After clicking to enter, it was divided into categories such as daily supplies, food, elixirs, weapons, cultivation techniques, supplies, and so on.
Chen Fan curiously clicked on daily supplies, only to find that everything from lighters to cars was available. Glancing at the bottom, he saw there were hundreds of pages, with prices much cheaper compared to the stalls at Song Family Castle.
"I should buy some to store in the space items and take them back."
He thought silently and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He clicked the search box and typed in the word "phone."
Hundreds of phone models appeared on the screen.
"President, can these use satellite communication?"
He turned around and asked.
"That’s right."
Sun Wei nodded, "They all use satellite communication by default. You can use them right away after getting them. You can buy a few more and take them back for your family to use. That’s what people in the branch office do."
"Okay."
Chen Fan indeed planned to do this.
He might not stay in the village often in the future, and if something happens, people in the village can notify him directly by phone.
And these phones are not expensive, costing only three to four hundred contribution points each.
After buying a few, he returned and glanced at the food section, then moved his gaze to the elixirs, clicking to open it.
Some unfamiliar names greeted his eyes, such as Blood Strengthening Soup and Muscle Regeneration Powder, with average prices ranging from dozens to hundreds of contribution points.
"These are for ordinary people and martial artists in the Body Tempering Realm."
Sun Wei explained.
The branch office not only recruits Entry Force Martial Artists but also nurtures martial artists in the Muscle Refining and Tempering Body stages and recruits talented ordinary people.
To be honest, they prefer to recruit talented ordinary people because those cultivated from this stage have the highest loyalty to the branch office.
Speaking of Entry Force Martial Artists, many recruited in the past ended up choosing to leave and join the ranks of Awakeners.
"I see."
Chen Fan continued to look down and soon saw the Low-grade Qi Blood Pill, priced at one thousand contribution points each.
Middle-grade, five thousand.
Top-grade, twenty thousand.
He licked his lips.
With thirty thousand contribution points, he could buy fifteen pills.
Plus the two bottles gifted by the association and the president, it totals thirty-five pills.
Even calculating by the potential points provided by one Top-grade Qi Blood Pill being four times that of Middle-grade Qi Blood Pills, the thirty-five pills could provide twenty-eight thousand potential points!
"No rush, let’s see the other items."
He continued to scroll down, wanting to see how many contribution points a True Qi Pill would require.
However, all he saw below were question marks.
"You don’t have the permission yet."
Sun Wei laughed, "Only after reaching the Meridian Refining Realm do you have the permission to view and exchange them."
Not even Chen Fan, even Sun Wei as the president of the branch office didn’t have this permission.
However, he did know what those elixirs were.
"I see."
Chen Fan suddenly understood.
"President, if I reach the Meridian Refining Realm, do I need to undergo an assessment?"
"That’s right, but by that time, you would need to go to the nearest medium-sized city from here." Sun Wei smiled bitterly.
Chen Fan expressed his understanding and clicked on the cultivation technique options.
Fist techniques, palm techniques, finger techniques, saber techniques, sword techniques, spear techniques, and some rare weapons, were all available.
Chen Fan clicked on fist techniques.
Long Fist,
Mantis Fist,
Tai Chi Fist,
Level 8 Fist,
...
The variety was dazzling.
"These are all authentic ancient martial fist techniques."
Sun Wei said from the side, "After purchasing, you can not only get detailed incantations and video materials but also have the opportunity to ask the martial artists who released these fist techniques for advice in person, one purchase, lifelong benefits."
As he spoke, he clicked on Mantis Fist. Several names appeared on the screen, along with corresponding pricing.
Starting from at least ten thousand, some were fifteen thousand.
Chen Fan was secretly shocked.
So expensive?
He went back and clicked on Tai Chi Fist. Inside, there were more than ten options, with the lowest price starting at ten thousand contribution points, and the highest even exceeded twenty thousand.
He clicked on other techniques, but none were priced below ten thousand contribution points.
"Actually, the pricing of our association is quite reasonable."
Seeing the pained look on Chen Fan’s face, Sun Wei laughed and said, "If you try to learn authentic ancient martial fist techniques outside, it’s hard. Spending money and not learning the real techniques is one thing, but the fear is spending money and losing lives. A few years ago, in Anshan City, someone secretly sold cultivation techniques at cheap prices. Many people bought them and brought them back, only to face fatal consequences."
"That happened?"
Chen Fan was taken aback.
He inexplicably felt that someone he knew was very similar to the person mentioned by the president.
"Yes, so buying cultivation techniques within our association doesn’t face this issue. Of course, every situation is different."
Sun Wei scrolled down but only saw question marks on the screen.
"These cultivation techniques are for Meridian Refining Martial Artists only, verified by experts at the headquarters, ensuring there are no issues. But the difficulty in cultivation is high; after exchange, you have to explore them yourself. So, it’s best to choose popular techniques with many practitioners, making it easier to seek advice if you encounter problems."
"Understood."
Chen Fan agreed verbally, but his eyes saw a potential opportunity for making money.
But that was still in the future. For example, now, his thirty thousand contribution points could only buy three cultivation techniques.
Too expensive!
He scrolled through other martial arts.
Generally, prices were not below ten thousand, and for techniques like Body Technique, prices were even higher.
"Although the association has many cultivation techniques, they are expensive. It’s still cheaper with Old Lin."
He thought, returned to the page, and chose weapons.
Weapons were divided into cold weapons and firearms.
He first opened firearms.
Gunfire,
firearms,
armored vehicles,
tanks,
and so on, numerous varieties, even the most ordinary handgun had several pages, prices ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands contribution points.
Curiously, he clicked on armored vehicles, then shook his head directly.
Millions of contribution points! Enough to buy hundreds of Top-grade Qi Blood Pills.
In this dangerous world, a single high-level Fierce Beast could threaten this big guy, definitely not worth it.
Clicking on cold weapons, they were all alloy weapons.
Tier One Elemental Alloy Weapons ranged from a few hundred to several thousand contribution points,
Tier Two Original Alloy Weapons ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Even Tier Three, generally above millions!
Further down, there were question marks again.
Chen Fan clicked on Tier Two, and it was categorized by weight.
Taking war sabers as an example, weighing forty to fifty pounds cost around twenty thousand, if a hundred pounds, thirty thousand, three to four hundred pounds, seventy to eighty thousand, five hundred pounds, nearly one hundred thousand, and the weight beyond that required custom orders.
With that much money, you could exchange for a Tier Three Alloy Battle Saber.
Chen Fan’s gaze fell on the three to four hundred pounds war saber,
So, he would need seventy to eighty thousand contribution points to exchange for a handy war saber?
Better wait then.
He didn’t even have enough contribution points to buy Qi Blood Pills now.
After browsing through everything, Chen Fan returned to the elixir section and used the remaining contribution points to buy Top-grade Qi Blood Pills.
The ten percent discount was effective.
Originally thought he could buy fifteen pills, but he ended up buying sixteen, and the extra money purchased some miscellaneous items.
A few minutes later, a dedicated staff delivered his items to the counter.
"Brother Chen,"
Sun Wei smiled, "You can leave your belongings here first. When you leave the association, you can retrieve them."
He turned to look at a row of rooms behind him and said, "These are individual cultivation rooms, equipped with various exercise tools. You can bathe and rest inside if you get tired, and if you need anything, you can call here at any time."
Chen Fan felt tempted but still shook his head and smiled, "President, I have some personal matters to attend to this time, I’ll come back tomorrow."
"Alright."
Sun Wei smiled, "Coincidentally, a few other members went hunting for high-level Fierce Beasts today. If you come tomorrow, you should be able to meet them. Then, you can get to know each other and cooperate in future hunting."
"Alright."
Chen Fan agreed.
The two went down the stairs. Looking outside the door, Sun Wei suddenly thought of something and reminded, "Brother Chen, you need to pay attention to one thing."
"What is it?"
Chen Fan stopped and looked back at him.
"I heard from Old Lin that you previously refused Lu Yang’s solicitation. He must be unhappy. Now you’ve joined the association, it might be worse. Frankly, our branch office and the Commerce Association have never had a good relationship,"
Sun Wei frowned, "We often clash with them outside the city. They have more people, so we usually suffer losses. Hence, you don’t need to worry about encountering them in the city, but in the wild, you must be extra careful. If you can’t win, retreat decisively. Understand?"
"Alright, I’ll be careful. Thanks for the reminder, President."
Chen Fan said sincerely.
"No need to thank me, it’s my duty."
Sun Wei smiled wryly, his expression helpless.
He had already said it very tactfully.
In the past few years, many Entry Force Martial Artists from the branch office had died at the hands of the Commerce Association’s martial artists rather than Fierce Beasts.
Chen Fan carried his package and walked out the door under Sun Wei’s watch.
He did not regret joining the association.
After all, a coin has two sides. Where there’s benefit, there’s risk.
Standing on the street, he scanned his surroundings.
He didn’t notice anyone secretly watching him.
"Still, can’t be careless."
Earlier, following Lin Hui inside, he clearly felt someone watching him from behind.
Perhaps those people were waiting for him outside the city, already predicting he’d join the Martial Arts Association.
"This matter will wait until I leave the city. For now, I need to deliver the items Old Lin sent."
He opened his phone and entered the address on the note, quickly finding the route.
"Hope everything goes smoothly."
