Chapter 183: Important Vs Need.
Kelvin interrupted her, "Yes, yes, yes. I get it. Camouflage is not worth the game points."
She said, "No, it is not worth the game points. It is also a shitty ability. That is more important than the cost of game points required to use it."
He asked her, "Even if Camouflage is removed from the first group, I still can't get the other one. I still have to choose between the two groups."
She said impatiently, "I'm getting there. Now where was I?"
"Right, I was about to undermine the first group of abilities."
Kelvin rolled his eyes and said, "Just tell me to choose the second group and tell me why. I already think the second group is better. Your confirmation is all I need."
She scowled at him and said, "I said I'm getting there. Now let me have my moment."
He conceded by raising his hands in surrender and saying, "Fine, have your moment."
She stared at him as if daring him to interrupt her again.
When he didn't say anything for a while, she began speaking again. "Overload is very good on its own. It will work well with Bat Escape and Life Steal, so you must have it. But you don't need it."
"The same is true for the Inorganic Shifting ability. It is very good and will take your physique to the next level. But you don't need it."
"Overload and Inorganic Shifting abilities will increase your power, defense, and escape, but they won't increase your survivability as much as Danger Sense and Power Identify will."
"I am willing to bet that Danger Sense alone will increase the effectiveness of Bat Escape far more than Overload. It will help you know when you need to escape immediately. So it is an ability that you need and must have immediately."
"Besides, you can't have the Inorganic Shifting ability soon. You will need to travel to a new place that you will need to get accustomed to. This will increase the amount of preparation you need to do before you can get it."
"The Danger Sense and Power Identify abilities, on the other hand, can be acquired very soon. They are also abilities that will help you survive better in hostile, new, and strange places. They will improve the success of your future plans immensely."
"There is also the fact that Overload might not fuse with the Juggernaut's Armament or Life Steal abilities. It is unlikely to happen, but if it does happen, you will need to open a new slot for it.
"That will cost you the 160 game points that you are trying to avoid and make getting the Inorganic Shifting ability difficult to acquire."
"So while none of the abilities in the second group is an Omega ability, I believe that the second group should be prioritized above the first."
He smiled and said with an exaggerated tone, "Wow, you have truly put things into perspective. You are truly wise and great."
She eyed him with disdain from the corner of her eyes, looked away, folded her shadow arms, and said, "I know that you're being sarcastic, but I will take the compliment because I am truly wise and great."
He nodded in agreement and said, "They say you don't have humility, but I say who needs humility?"
She insisted, "I truly don't need humility."
He replied as he began making his final selections on the tablet, "That's what I said."
She insisted, "And I am great."
He nodded as he went over to Astro and handed over the tablet to it.
He said, "Hey Astro. I have made my decision."
Astro said with joy, "Splendid decision. I am sure you will enjoy our products."
He smiled and agreed. "I'm sure I will."
Astro looked over his selections and said, "The human products will cost you a hundred and fifty million dollars. The non-human products will cost you 80 energy stones. You will also be required to sign a waiver for the non-human products. I hope you find no problem with that."
He frowned and asked, "A waiver? For what?" Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire
Astro explained slowly, "We need an uncoerced signature from you exempting our establishment from any damage that the nonhuman products will cause to you and your world."
That didn't clear things up for him. He asked, "Why are you asking for that? You didn't ask for them when I bought human products. What's so special about non-human products that I have to sign for? If I didn't know better, I would think this wasn't a black market, but a legal business."
Astro shook his head and said, "I think there is a misunderstanding here. What we do here is legal according to the Yggdrasil. This territory is the territory of the Yggdrasil civilization, and we abide by all its rules, so this is a legal establishment."
"It is the local forces that call us a black market. It doesn't mean we are illegal. In fact, the opinion of the local forces doesn't mean anything since this world is weak and doesn't have a pantheon to influence the Yggdrasil civilization."
"We are legal, so we abide by the rules to require an informed understanding from our customers in order to hand over non-human products to them."
"This informed understanding must come in the form of a contract freeing us from any responsibility as pertaining to the non-human product. This will protect us from being blamed for any damage that the non-human product will do to living things, non-living things, and the environment."
"For example, we will not be blamed if the lesser vampire becomes free and works its way into becoming the president of a nation. Or becomes free, kills a lot of people, evolves into a high vampire, and enslaves a lot of humans."
"In fact, we won't be selling the lesser vampire if not for our certified control method that surpresses the lesser vampire, makes it unable to evolve, and makes it nealy impossible for it to escape control without dying."
