Chapter 800: About the Future

Yun was already waiting for Xiong Da and Luo Bo at Bai Wan's Weapon's Store Instance where she asked them to wait a moment before rushing to buy some weapons. The two grumbled like little kids but decided to hold their little grudge as Yun demanded for their phones.

"Please do not mind me. This squad thing is a special feature; hence, the app does not officially have it yet." Yun allowed them to take a look as she plugged a USB drive each into their phones before it asked for an installation of the modified Pandamonium App.

With their own permission, she installed the app. The app symbol changed to a Panda in military clothes with one white stripe on its shoulders, indicating the rank of Panda Private. Yun told them the higher their squad level, the Panda Military ranks would increase too. (The picture changes as well!)

Yun iterated that if there's an update, the modified app would automatically get replaced by the new version of the Pandamonium App. Shi Zuo who caught up to them was given the same treatment, and Yun told them briefly to follow the instructions on the app.

"The app will show you what item slots are available for you to outfit your guys. Do take note of the restrictions. Your Level 1 Squad will be limited to Grade 1 weapons, so don't try outfitting them with Grade Five weapons, it won't work. See you guys back at the conference room once you are done shopping." Yun smiled at them before returning to the conference room to update Ruo Ying and Yang Ling's apps.

In the meantime, Xiong Da and Luo Bo went separate ways to purchase the weapons they wanted for their squads. The Hippo Cultivator saw that he was given command over two guys and a girl for his team and even managed to peek at Luo Bo's team composition, who had two girls and one guy.

"I see…" Xiong Da muttered to himself as he started his search for the strongest Grade 1 melee weapons available. He had previously enjoyed playing RPG games when he was younger, and he knew that a balance was needed in a fight.

As a tank, he was able to take hits, but he required more damage dealers if he wished to kill more Demon Rats than Luo Bo. Hence, Xiong Da had taken a Grade 1 two handed lance and a Grade 1 Two handed Sword.

After which, he purchased a Grade 1 Rifle and for the final touch, some miscellaneous items such as grenades and Molotov cocktails.

Considering he did not need to pay anything, he simply took the most expensive of all those weapons and went straight into the armour store where he proceeded to do the same as well. Right here, there was not much to think about at the current Grade his squad was in and Xiong Da simply took the ones with the highest defence rating without limiting mobility before returning back to the conference room.

However, Luo Bo needed to go with different tactic than Xiong Da. She could vaguely guess that Xiong Da would focus on dealing damage since he was able to tolerate the hits given his own cultivation. Unfortunately, Luo Bo was not able to perform such a feat, and if she didn't have a benefactor to buy the equipment for her squad, she would have simply selected the cheapest and gone into the dungeon instance.

Yet right now, her objective was of utmost importance. With a customised Rabbit plushie at stake, she needed to inflict the most amount of damage while simultaneously preserve herself for long attrition battles.

Shi Zuo sighed as he noticed that Luo Bo had entered into her dreaded window shopping mode, which might potentially last for hours. Thus, he decided to enforce his decision no matter how Luo Bo disliked it. He took two of the following.

Grade 1 staff, sword & buckler and wand.

After that, he grabbed three Grade 1 axes and pulled Luo Bo to the armoury store without waiting for her consent. "Wait! What are you doing! I haven't checked everything out yet!" Luo Bo made a fuss at Shi Zuo, but he simply continued to drag his significant other to their next destination.

"This concerns my plushie! How can you be so evil towards me? Darling!!!" Luo Bo shouted at him as she refused to budge but him being physically stronger than her, Shi Zuo picked her up and went towards the Weapon Store's connecting statue to the Armoury Department.

"Go, choose the outfits that you want and make it quick." Shi Zuo told Luo Bo, but the latter pouted not wishing to listen to what her boyfriend had to say.

"Fine. If you want to act this way, then I will choose for the both of us. Don't blame me for my bad taste in fashion." Shi Zuo said with a bit of anger in him, and that was when Luo Bo noticed the anger and decided to play the concerned mate.

"Don't." Shi Zuo warned her to ease the grabbing of his arms as he went towards the male section.

"Why are you acting like this?! Didn't you say you wanted to help me get the plushie?!" Luo Bo could not understand why Shi Zuo was acting this way. Still, she was also wary of his response because he did not usually get angry this easily.

"Because, if you plan to shop like you usually do it will take ages for you to finish. I don't care when it's just me, who has to wait for you, but you can't be wasting Xiong Da, Ruo Ying and the Tiger Princess's time. As I understand the princess merely wants to try out Jin's newest dungeons, yet I believe her kindness has a certain limit and her time should be way more valuable than ours."

"I am not sure about you, but at this juncture, I prefer to keep my job intact rather than to comfort your wants. Otherwise, I won't be able to provide for you in the future." Shi Zuo reprimanded Luo Bo, and it struck her hard.

The Rabbit Cultivator took a step back and nodded her head silently. "Please… choose for me. I trust your taste." Luo Bo quietly said to Shi Zuo as he noticed something was wrong with her again. Was she going to cry? Shi Zuo sighed and took a step back too and apologised to her.

"Look, I am sorry. I know Jin is entertaining us, but we should not overextend their courtesy, okay? After this challenge is done, we can still go window shopping again, and I'll pay for it if you find better stuff, alright?" Shi Zuo suggested which Luo Bo eventually nodded her head and hugged her partner.

"…you thought of our future?" Luo Bo whispered when she was in his embrace.

"Erm …Duh? I have to think about the house and future expenses." Shi Zuo wondered if he said something wrong. Yet Luo Bo merely kept quiet and buried her face in his chest for a moment in happiness before stepping back and told him to choose the clothes for their squads.

"About the future, huh…" Luo Bo thought to herself and smiled quietly with a warm feeling inside.
