In Lumina Crysalis Pavilion:
Maximus and his children emerged from the guild hall after registering and headed to the shop beside it.
Lumina Crysalis Pavilion is a specialty shop for children
Compared to EGCc it's much more diverse and complete when it comes to children's items.
"Welcome, sir," the shopkeeper greeted.
As they entered, a paradise-like place for children greeted them.
While EGCC merely displayed its products for viewing, this shop resembled a mall with a wide array of attractions.
"Wow!"
"Look there!"
Excitedly, his children pointed and exclaimed
They were thrilled to see all the children playing various games.
"How about we buy what you need first and then you can play?" Maximus suggested.
"Yes!" the children nodded eagerly, unable to tear their eyes away from the play area.
"Then let's get you proper main weapons," Maximus decided.
Their current weapons were only training tools, not suitable for long-term use.
...
In the weapon section, a variety of weapons and armor for kids were displayed.
"I'll wait for you here, choose what you like," Maximus said, noticing their enthusiasm in selecting their gear.
He found a seat and patiently waited.
...
"Look, it's so cute!" Lily felt the texture of a dress-like armor and exclaimed.
"It's so cute" Lydia nodded and murmured.
"It's too girly. What about this one? It looks more oppressive." Lyla responded as she looked at an armor that is covered with a firey design.
"Hmph, it doesn't look that good. I prefer this dress," Lily said, taking it out of the rack.
"Then, I'll take this one." Lyla didn't mind as she took want she wanted.
"I want this," Lydia murmured as she picked up an armor resembling a flowery dress.
"What about you, little sisters?" Lily asked Serene and Cyra.
"I want that white fluffy thing," Serene said cutely.
Even though Serene can barely walk, she already has some knowledge about fashion, at just 5 months old.
"I want the Blue Moon with blades," Cyra said, not taking her eyes off that piece.
From birth, Cyra has had an affinity for the moon, and her mother mentioned that her name means moon.
Seeing an armor resembling the moon made her stare at it.
Thanks to their talents and an unlimited supply of resources, they can speak perfectly when they were 3 months old.
Although they are still babies, they already have their own thought and knew what they wanted.
"Alright, I'll get that for you two," Lily said, acting like a qualified older sister.
"Let's look at weapons next."
...
"Brother, it's so shiny and blinding! It's super cool," Max said as he saw a golden armor that nearly blinded his eyes.
"Indeed, do you want it?" Liam asked as his lips twitch seeing such a showy design.
"Yes, yes," Max replied without hesitation, picking it up.
"What about you, Nathan?" Liam just sighed.
"I want this," Nathan said, picking out a dark armor that absorbed all the light like a black hole.
"Good, then I'll take this one," Liam said, selecting a white armor.
Although it wasn't as shiny as Max's, it exuded a dominant and majestic spirit.
"By the way, where are Sam and Luke?" Liam wondered as he looked around for the two.
...
Sam and Luke, who were missing, were on the other side of the store.
"Look, brother, a robot armor!" Sam exclaimed excitedly.
In front of them was a fully-fledged mechanical robot.
"I know, look there is one with wings," Luke said as he came closer to admire it.
"Wow! I don't know what to choose," Sam said, marveling at the variety of styles.
"Hehe, what about we try them out?" Luke suggested, checking to see if anyone was around.
Not spotting anyone nearby, the two sneaked over and climbed into the cockpit.
Sam and Luke especially loved robots and mechanical weapons ever since their father introduced them to these concepts.
Unfortunately, due to their limited exposure, they only knew the basics of operating such devices.
Inside the cockpit, they looked at the dense array of controllers.
"How do we start this?" Sam asked a bit dizzy.
"I don't know," Luke replied, equally at a loss.
"Little Gentlemen, you need a key to start the machine," a steward respectfully said.
The steward had long noticed the two boys a while ago but didn't try to stop them.
Seeing their curiosity, the steward didn't intervene.
After all, their store catered to kids, and they understood how to handle such situations.
"AH!" Upon realizing they were caught, the two were briefly shocked.
But upon processing the steward's words, they exchanged glances as if thinking of a plan.
"Um, can you lend us the key?" Luke said, using his cuteness to his advantage.
"Sure, Little Gentlemen. Why don't I lead you to the testing room?" the steward offered, glancing at Maximus.
Maximus had also noticed what his playful children were up to, but he didn't stop them.
Seeing the steward looking at him, he slightly nodded in approval.
"Hehe," Sam and Luke laughed as if their scheme had worked.
...
In the testing room, the steward brought the robots that the two boys fancied.
"Let's see, He said to press here and here" Sam murmured as he tinkered with the suit.
Luke also hopped into the flying robot he had admired.
Following the instructions, both robots' eyes lit up.
"Let's try it out," Sam murmured as he tinkered with the controls.
The burly robot started to walk, causing shock waves with every step.
Meanwhile, Luke began to fly crookedly, struggling to control the flying robot.
It was their first time trying to handle such mechanical devices, so they did it somewhat awkwardly.
However, thanks to the experience with mechanic devices that their father played from time to time, it was easy to get the hang of it.
"Brother, how about we have a little fight?" Sam communicated through the speaker to talk to Luke.
"Sure!" Luke replied with excitement.
...
A screen inside the shop lit up, showing Sam and Luke fighting.
In the beginning, they fought like kids, pushing each other.
But as time went by, Luke began to use his robot's flying ability to kite Sam.
Sam, on the other hand, was not to be defeated, as he used his suit robust body to exchange hits with Luke, disregarding defense.
"Look, it's a robot fight," Max said, pointing at the screen, as he and his brother looked for weapons.
"Hmm, the one with the wings should win," Liam remarked, acting like an expert.
"That's a weak-ass fly; I bet the bigger one would win," Max refuted.
Nathan, on the other hand, remained silent, while supporting Neo, who was 5 months old, to stand.
"Boring," Neo said, looking disinterested.
Neo had been listless since birth, finding everything mundane.
He was the type to lie down if given the chance and would never stand up.
Fortunately, he was highly gifted and learned everything quickly, so Maximus didn't pay much attention to him.
Thinking that Neo would fix his attitude as he grew up.
After all, Neo was still a baby, so it was normal.
...
A few hours later.
"Is that all you want?" Maximus asked, looking at the bunch of items on the floor.
"Yes," the majority of them said.
"Y-yes," Max, on the other hand, was a little reluctant as he felt jealous seeing Sam and Luke getting robots.
But when he looked at his dazzling armor, which eclipsed all of theirs, his mood improved a lot.
"How much for all of this?" Maximus inquired, seeing that they were satisfied with their choices.
"It's 6,215 credits," the steward replied after calculating.
"Hmm, here," Maximus nodded and paid.
Although it was a bit expensive, he understood the reason for the price.
These items, except for the two robots, were growth-type equipment, making them costly, equivalent to 62 million low-grade crystals.
However, even though they were growth-type equipment, it didn't mean that they automatically grow.
They required unique materials for growth, otherwise, they wouldn't be so cheap.
"Take it to your storage ring," Maximus instructed his children.
They hadn't taken the items earlier because of a brand that prevented them from being stored in the storage ring.
Now that he had paid, the brand disappeared.
"Where to go next?"
"How about we buy food for your pets?" Maximus suggested after some thought.
"Alright!"
...
In the beast pet section, a variety of items for pets were displayed.
"I'll wait for you here while you choose beast pet food," Maximus said.
"Come out, Monkey, choose your food," Max said, tapping his beast pet ring.
The others also took out their pets one by one, drawing attention from others.
Their pets looked ferocious and lively, possessing Tier 7 transcendent beast pet bloodlines, nearly reaching Tier 8 supreme bloodline purity.
"Smell good..." Their beast pet all thought.
...
While his children were busy choosing beast pet food, Maximus found a seat.
However, just as he sat down, a voice came from behind.
"It's you, the newcomer, Maximus."
"Denice?"
