Book 6: Chapter 55:1: Chen Heng: I’m an Alchemist! Part 1
Queen of Ice and Snow: If Im not mistaken, you earn a portion of the one point we pay for each day, right?
Kazuma the Brute: How did you know?
Efreet: Isnt it obvious? If you werent making a profit, youd be complaining by now. Without this helmet, youd earn points every time we visited your world, based on the previous agreement. Its just a matter of putting ourselves in your shoes. Easy to figure out, really.
Kazuma the Brute: Hehe!
God Sai: So, how much is your cut?
Kazuma the Brute: After a discussion with the Dimension Administrators Association Customer Service, I get 20 percent of the profit. My world takes 20 percent, and the Dimension Administrators Association takes 10 percent. The remaining 50 percent covers maintenance costs and other operating expenses.
Fallen Angel Gabriel: Its normal for the world consciousness and Satou Kazuma to get royalties, but why does the Dimension Administrators Association charge fees?
Kazuma the Brute: Youre asking the wrong person; I didnt make these rules.
Time Witch: I think its quite reasonable. After all, the Dimension Administrators Association contributed something to make this happen.
Vengeance Witch: I feel its like the retailers making a profit off the difference in sales price and cost price.
Vengeance Witch: Ah Heng, lets party up.
He Who Knows Fate: Whats your class?
Vengeance Witch: Arch priest.
He Who Knows Fate: Huh?
Vengeance Witch: Whats wrong? Are you not satisfied with my class?
He Who Knows Fate: No. How can that be? The arch priest class is extremely good. Not only does it have a certain level of offensive strength, but it also can provide plenty of support for party members. However, it just does not seem to suit you, no matter how I look at it. How are you going to live up to the flames of vengeance that you ignite in you?
Vengeance Witch: People need to move forward, you know. Besides, when I constructed my avatar this time, I didnt add any additional abilities, just the basic physical attributes, so come online quickly and protect me.
He Who Knows Fate: But Im just an adventurer, you know? You know about adventurers, right? Were the lowest of the low when it comes to classes.
Kazuma the Brute: Ouch! I feel offended.
Time Witch: Its fine, Elder Brother. Im here, too, and Im an arch wizard.
He Who Knows Fate: It looks like it will be up to my younger sister at critical moments.
Vengeance Witch: Enough talk. Come online already.
After seeing Jeanne dArcs constant urging, Chen Heng left the chat interface and opened the store.
As soon as he entered the store, he saw the virtual reality helmet prominently displayed at the top, with a special offer label behind it.
The original price of this virtual reality helmet was 2,000 points, but for the first three days of its launch, it was available at a 50 percent discount.
Chen Heng checked how many helmets he could buy because he had heard from people in the Dimension Administrators Association that there was a purchase limit for helmets.
(Purchase limit 5/5)
Excellent. It is indeed limited. However, the limit for me seems a lot higher than for ordinary Dimension Administrators Association members. Indeed, administrators can do as they please.
He Who Knows Fate: Sirin, did you buy a helmet?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Yes, I did. Elder Sister Luo Li gave me the points. Shes really nice!
Huh? She got bribed with one VR helmet? You are a five-core Herrscher. Have some dignity!Although Sirin hasnt reached the level of being lured away by a lollipop, shes not far off.
He Who Knows Fate: Master, what about you?
Flat-Chested Chinese: I didnt buy one.
He Who Knows Fate: I see.
Chen Heng realized why his master hadnt bought one. It was probably because his master didnt have enough points.
Although it sounded a bit unkind, Chen Hengs master hadnt taken on any missions recently, so points were tight. This was understandable.
Moreover, if Chen Heng remembered correctly, he had signed a contract with his master regarding the rental of the Pok Ball containing the Honkai Gods consciousness. It was 1,000 points per month, settled at the end of each month.
He needed to ask Fu Hua to terminate that contract. Now that their worlds had merged, that thing was useless, and he didnt want to take points from his master.
Chen Heng returned to the store interface and promptly bought three helmets.
He sent one to Fu Hua and another to Ryougi Shiki.
Fu Hua didnt have any points, and Ryougi Shiki had even fewer.
Chen Heng bought Fu Hua a helmet because she was his master. There was nothing wrong with being filial to ones master, right?
As for Ryougi Shiki, it was more of compensation because Chen Heng had obtained the Absolute Precognition thanks to her. Although he couldnt find that ability in the Dimension Administrators Association, just repairing it cost 100,000 points. If he could buy the ability, it would be even more expensive for sure.
As for the others, Chen Heng didnt need to worry. They were all adults, and earning points should be easy for them.
After finishing all these tasks, Chen Heng took out the remaining helmet and examined it.
The helmet was white, but its color was adjustable. It looked like a motorcycle helmet, but with a vertical antenna at the back, and there were some purple patterns on its surface, giving it a futuristic appearance.
Whats the antenna for? Is it for receiving signals, like world signals?
Chen Heng took out the instruction manual, which was only three pages long, and studied it. It explained that the helmet had three forms: helmet mode, glasses mode, and game warehouse mode. To switch between modes, you just needed to press the button near the left ear.
There was no power button on the helmet. Once you had put it on and established a connection, you could enter the game world (another world) just by thinking about it.
During use, the helmet provided five seconds of invincibility for the user if someone attacked the user in reality while the user was in Satou Kazumas world, and it would alert the user immediately.
A new, unused helmet would bind to the first person who put it on.
The remaining pages explained how to adjust sensory feedback and pain levels, log off, and perform other actions when using the helmet to enter Satou Kazumas world.
