My Level Zero System

Once again, Kain was pulled out of the academy by Mera, unable to comprehend.

"Where are we going?"

"You just wait and see."

Seeing Mera's determination, he agreed, thinking that maybe she would take him to a restaurant.

However, Mera's actions went against Kain's predictions.

Because the place she took him to was a weapon shop.

Looking at Kain's dumbfounded face, Mera chuckled.

"So what? You thought I was going to take you out to eat?"

"I don't object."

Kain gave a helpless smile. Making Mera puff her chest out.

"Let's leave that for after we return. Important things need to be done first."

"Yes, important things need to be done first."

So Mera led him inside.

As soon as she entered, she shouted at the owner.

"Hey, is the weapon I ordered done yet?"

"Here it is ma'am, you can check it out."

The shop owner then brought out a wooden box, inside of which was something that looked like... a whip.

"This is..."

"That's my weapon of choice. Compared to swords or spears, I find that I'm more suited to this type of weapon that specializes in control."

"Oh, that's pretty good, huh?"

Kain nodded, then Mera suddenly handed the wooden box to Kain.

"Can you check it for me?"

Almost without hesitation, Kain agreed immediately.

But the actions of the two people made the store owner dissatisfied.

"Hey hey, the weapons from my shop are all top-notch. Miss, you're hurting my reputation..."

"So what? This is mine anyway, whatever I do with it is my business."

Mera did not hesitate to block the shopkeeper's mouth, momentarily rendering him speechless. She could be as gentle as possible towards Kain, but to others, the arrogant young lady from Whesling City had not yet disappeared.

"Okay, no need to make things difficult for others."

Kain finally spoke up to mediate.

"The owner, she has no bad intentions. We just came to look at the goods. We have no intention of destroying the shop or going back on our word and not paying."

Hearing that, the shop owner's expression relaxed a bit, but his attitude still seemed very angry, he just said "whatever" and turned away.

From the moment he entered, Kain knew that this was a long-standing shop. Shops like this were able to survive for so long thanks to the quality and reputation of their goods. And for shops like this, reputation was sometimes more important than money.

But Kain was still right about Mera, after all she was just reacting like a normal customer, even if her words were a bit disrespectful.

All of this was but a fleeting momentary distraction. Kain focused his attention on the whip stored in the box.KA

Kain carefully placed the box down and took out the whip. From the handle, Kain could feel the familiar toughness and roughness of the monster's skin, not slippery like fake leather. This roughness was what allowed the whip's handle to be gripped tighter, reducing the chance of it slipping off even when it was exposed to factors like sweat from the palm.

As for the whip's thong, it was also meticulously crafted with leather, plant fibers, and even thin metal woven together and pressed tightly into a framework. There were also tiny thorns, although they looked quite harmless because they were not too sharp, but when wrapped tightly with strong force, these thorns would increase the friction significantly, making it more difficult for the enemy to struggle to escape.

The details are also very carefully crafted, Kain can see the dedication of the person who created this.

In short, there is nothing to complain about.

"This is good, you can take it."

"Okay, shopkeeper, I'll pay the rest."

Mera shouted, but the shop owner didn't pay any attention to her, instead looking at Kain with a puzzled look.

"Young man, I still need a successor, are you interested?"

Kain's previous comments about this whip had been heard by him. He was therefore amazed at Kain's ability to perceive and observe.

With these two things, becoming an excellent weapon maker is within reach. Because a weapon maker can only become excellent when he knows what he is making.

As a long-standing shop, the problem of finding a successor has always been a headache for him. A capable successor would not only help maintain the shop, but also spread his good name.

This is roughly the goal of any artist.

Kain was also very interested, but before he could reply, Mera paid and pulled him away.

"Kain, don't believe him, he said it was only 900 Cents before, but now it's 1000 Cents, what a scammer."

"Hey hey girl! You can't say that, the costs from the back-end requests have already inflated the price."

"Humph, don't think I don't know your tricks."

Mera's face remained gloomy.

Just then, the shopkeeper said.

"But if you introduce that guy over there as my successor, I can give you this for free, how about it?

"Are not."

Without a moment's hesitation, Mera flatly refused. This left the shop owner stunned for a moment.

Is this girl really sane? Just now she was still haggling over 100 Cents, now she even refused 1000 Cents.

At this, Myra continued.

"Ask him, don't ask me."

This put the shopkeeper in a difficult position, as he could see that Kain was listening to Mera's opinion.

Once again, Kain had to step in between.

"Alright, we can deal with this later. Mera, didn't you bring me here to buy new weapons?"

"Oh right, almost forgot the main thing."

Mera nodded, and Kain turned to the shopkeeper.

"What kind of shield do you have, can I see?"

"You came to the right person."

The shop owner smiled, then brought out three different types of shields. First was a rectangular shield, then a diamond-shaped shield, and finally a circular shield.

"I want this."

Kain chooses a circular shield. Compared to the previous two types of shields, the circular shield stands out for its mobility and can handle most situations. The previous two types of shields, because of their fixed shape, will be limited in some places, only the circular shield, which looks the same no matter which side it is rotated, does not have it.
