Witch Special

The little fox girl didn't seem interested in telling a stranger like Lin Zhenxi about her past, so she didn't answer Lin Zhenxi's question at all. Lin Zhenxi didn't really want to have any in-depth communication with the little fox girl in front of her, so she skipped the topic and pretended she didn't ask anything.

Then, on to the next thing. Lin Zhenxi pulled out her special envoy qualification screen and showed the little fox girl the bright "B" on it.

"As you can see, I've just been promoted to a B-class special agent. According to regulations, I can go to the B-class weapons depot and choose a new piece of equipment of the corresponding level. Now, please help me open the door."

"B-level!" The little fox girl was surprised again. Although she had been on the job for a short time, she had actually come into contact with quite a few special envoys, at least more than Lin Zhenxi had seen. So she naturally knew the value of Lin Zhenxi's B-level. To be frank, from the day she started until today, she had seen many D-level and a few C-level, but as for B-level, Lin Zhenxi was her first.

Lin Zhenxi was not surprised by the other party's surprise, because she positioned herself as one of the top in her professional field. The little fox girl was surprised to see the B-level, which just confirmed Lin Zhenxi's own guess that there were very few B-level special envoys.

Of course, Lin Zhenxi wouldn't be so arrogant as to think she was the only B-level person in the entire company. Even though she seemed to have been chosen, such complacency was still unacceptable.

"Yes, B-rank, just recently upgraded. But I'm still a little unclear about the function of B-rank weapons, so I plan to go and take a look at them in person."

The Armory was the only place where Special Correspondents could access a large inventory of weapons. The Company allowed Special Correspondents to try out the corresponding weapons before selecting their own. After all, weapons were non-refundable and their importance to Special Correspondents was self-evident. If they weren't even allowed to try them out, leaving their future to their own instincts, not only would the Special Correspondents themselves be worried, but the Company itself would also feel a bit guilty.

After all, the special envoys and the "company" are not in a hostile relationship. The "company" trains special envoys to work for them. It either raises them like pigs or fattens them up and then kills them.

Therefore, the survival of the special envoys is beneficial to the "company". Even if the "company" is very cruel to the special envoys after they go to the other world and will never take them back unless the commission is completed, at least in the preparation stage of the main world, the "company" is still relatively willing to provide some convenience to the special envoys.

This was in accordance with the procedures, and Lin Zhenxi had submitted an application before, but the authority to review it did not lie with the little fox girl. She was just a service staff, a tool, and did not have high authority over internal affairs like the heads of other departments.

After all, the arsenal serves different clients. Other departments might have ordinary customers who need help, but this place is specifically for special envoys. What kind of status does a special envoy have that would make a small-time official like you look down on them?

Anyway, Lin Zhenxi just told the little fox girl what he was going to do next and asked her to do it quickly. As for wanting to make some money from this, that was purely wishful thinking.

The little fox girl's expression darkened as she recalled the training she'd received. This was clearly a perfect opportunity to extort money, but someone else's rigid rules prevented her from taking advantage. What kind of torture was this?

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." As she said that, the little fox girl began to work on her counter.

It was clear she wasn't very skilled at fiddling with the control panels, sometimes even using two fingers, tapping each button one by one. Her efficiency was understandably low. Fortunately, Lin Zhenxi wasn't in a hurry and simply stood outside the counter window, watching the little fox girl frantically operate the controls. About two minutes later, a dent appeared in the wall next to the counter, revealing a portal behind it.

Well, the weapons trials were conducted by the special envoys themselves, and had nothing to do with the staff sitting behind the glass counter at the weapons depot. After all, the choice of weapons was entirely the special envoy's own business and should not be interfered with by any external factors. The nagging of the staff around him was obviously a form of interference.

There was nothing to do with the little fox girl after that, so Lin Zhenxi no longer cared about the little fox girl who was gritting her teeth, and walked straight towards the portal.

In a flash, the spatial parameters fluctuated slightly, and Lin Zhenxi arrived at a place similar to a shooting range. There was nothing in front of him except a raised operating table and some baselines on the ground.

Lin Zhenxi had been to this place twice before, so she was familiar with it. She walked directly to the control console and pressed her personal terminal onto it. A cold white light flashed on the metal surface, completing the scan of the personal terminal, and then the operation interface popped up.

Lin Zhenxi selected "Weapon Trial" on the interface, and selected "Class B" in the subsequent large classification pop-up window.

Incidentally, D- and C-rank items were also unlocked, meaning Lin Zhenxi could freely try out the low-level weapons in the armory. However, the A- and S-rank items above were blocked by a padlock and two intersecting chains, respectively, making them unavailable for selection.

As for the fact that the two lock icons were different even though they were both locked, that was beyond Lin Zhenxi's consideration. Anyway, that was how it was set up, so why bother overthinking it?

Lin Zhenxi had already tried out both D-rank and C-rank weapons when she first selected them. Unless "Company" updated the version and added new DLC, there was no need for Lin Zhenxi to try out new ones. Moreover, these two low-level weapons were not her goals for this trip, so she simply ignored them and went straight for B-rank.

Even if new items did arrive, Lin Zhenxi could only buy D-rank weapons right now. As for C-rank, she'd have to wait until she reached A-rank, and who knows when. The price of D-rank weapons, as measured by the Space Cube, was quite tight. If she continued buying them, she might not even be able to afford a ticket to consult her teacher. So, it was best to avoid looking at those two screens.

Then, B-rank weapons... Lin Zhenxi carefully browsed through the list of B-rank weapons, flipping through them from top to bottom, but in the end, she couldn't decide which one she particularly liked. Aside from the mysterious book that conflicted with the Witch's Book, nothing seemed to be particularly suitable for Lin Zhenxi.

Forget it, never mind. She has time today anyway, so she might as well start the test from the first item.

The number of "Company" weapons gradually decreases as the level increases. There are hundreds of D-level weapons, nearly a hundred C-level weapons, and only about thirty B-level weapons are left. Even if Lin Zhenxi tries them one by one, it probably won't take long.

The first B-level weapon in the list is the Guardian Shield.

With a loud "clang", a large door panel shield that was almost as tall as Lin Zhenxi himself fell from the sky and hit the floor heavily. Then it miraculously stood still without making a hole in the metal floor, nor did it fall to the surroundings.

It feels like a magical statue. At least the shape is quite artistic. I think it is suitable to be put on a stand.

Lin Zhenxi approached and placed her hand on the massive kite shield, immersing her mind in it, deeply understanding its specific properties and abilities. For mysterious items like these, this method was the quickest way to understand their functions. Of course, scientific ones weren't so easy to understand. Without the necessary expertise, she'd better just read the manual.

However, the technological side also has things like brain-computer interfaces and information chips, which have the ability to expand one's consciousness, similar to the mystical side's mental coverage. It can only be said that whether it is the scientific side or the mystical side, they are probably reaching the same goal.

Through the feedback information from mental immersion, Lin Zhenxi had a relatively complete understanding of the specific effects of this large shield, at least those that were visible on the surface.

As Lin Zhenxi had expected, the functions of B-class weapons were far more than what was listed. The textual descriptions only reflected their most basic functions, their most basic form. In this most basic form, B-class weapons also possessed a new attribute.

Stage unlocking, unlocking higher level features by feeding traits.

In simple terms, this thing has growth potential. You only need to continuously feed it with corresponding traits to continuously strengthen its effects. When the strengthening reaches a certain stage, you can also unlock the stage lock and obtain new effects.

Why does it smell like an online game that focuses on companionship...

Lin Zhenxi paid special attention to that "characteristic". She was a little curious about what it was.

Then I discovered that this thing actually seeks "recognition." As long as you recognize the special envoy in your heart, this emotion of recognition will be transformed into a strange energy, which is absorbed by this B-level weapon. The stronger the emotion of recognition, the higher the quality of the trait generated, and the faster the weapon grows. At the same time, this trait can also serve as fuel, directly enhancing the special envoy's own strength. The purer the trait used, the better the enhancement.

This thing... The more Lin Zhenxi looked at it, the more familiar it felt. A strong sense of déjà vu came over him. What kind of characteristic is this? Isn't it faith?

It turns out that B-level weapons are all artifacts of faith. No wonder they are required to form a force starting from B-level. This seems to be the rhythm of making the special envoys believe in deification.
