Floating Island - Triple S Talent - Chapter 146

Chapter 146: World Market Trade alliance store
The man stood still for a moment, captivated by the grandeur and efficiency of the place. From the door alone, he could see thousands of items displayed with a highly organized system. He wasn’t just impressed by the room’s size but also by the orderly crowd of people busy inside. Hundreds of customers were actively selecting the items they needed, moving from one shelf to another, occasionally touching the holographic panels attached to each shelf.

He noticed a female customer standing in front of one of the shelves. She seemed focused, tapping the holographic screen on the surface of the shelf. With a few touches on the screen, one of the items on the shelf—a beautiful sky-blue dress—suddenly vanished and magically appeared, fitted directly onto her body.

The man watched in awe, his eyes sparkling as he observed how the advanced technology worked. The woman casually spun around a few times, carefully examining how the dress fit her body. The blue dress looked perfect, elegantly following every curve of her figure.

However, after checking the holographic screen in front of her that displayed the dress’s status, she frowned. It seemed the magical properties of the dress did not match what she needed.

With quick movements, the woman touched the holographic screen a few more times, and within seconds, the sky-blue dress vanished from her body, returning to the transparent rack as if it had never been moved.

“Amazing… We can try the items on before buying them,” muttered the middle-aged man as he watched the scene in awe. “Simply incredible.”

He continued his observations, this time noticing several small robots moving between the racks and customers. These robots were about half a meter tall, rounded with wheels underneath, allowing them to move agilely. Occasionally, one of the robots would stop when someone waved at it. The man watched as a customer spoke to the robot, seemingly asking about the location of a specific item. The robot quickly provided the information and guided the customer to the correct rack.

The scene inside the store was vastly different from ordinary shops. Every interaction felt advanced, as if technology and magic combined to create an unparalleled shopping experience. The middle-aged man continued walking, occasionally glancing at the holographic panels on the racks, captivated by the speed and practicality of the system in use.

The man paused briefly in front of a rack displaying various types of armor with distinct glimmers. Each armor was clearly visible behind transparent glass, with detailed descriptions appearing on the holographic screens.

Some were red like blazing lava, others were a cool green like fresh forest leaves, and some were covered in sharp spikes. These armors exuded an aura of power, as if each one held unique secrets that could be decisive on the battlefield.

He stopped at one armor that caught his eye. It was a sleek, shiny silver armor made of refined iron with a simple yet strong design.

(Fine Iron Armor)

– Level: 30

– Attributes: RES +230, SPD +165

– Iron Defense: Reduces incoming damage by 10%. Provides an additional 5% damage reduction with a 10% speed penalty.

The middle-aged man carefully examined the armor. The iron armor looked heavy, but from its status description, he knew it was designed to provide a balance between defense and speed.

There was a speed penalty, but the damage reduction from the “Iron Defense” skill made this armor suitable for heavy defensive situations. He pondered for a moment, nodding slowly. “This armor is good for close combat… but it might be less effective when fast movement is required,” he thought to himself.

After examining the fine iron armor, the man shifted his gaze to another armor not far away. This armor was vastly different, with a fresh green leaf-like appearance, adorned with fine golden lines that shimmered when hit by light.

(Heavenly Leaf Armor)

– Level: 32

– Attributes: SPD +250, DEX +180

– Forest’s Whisper: Increases movement speed in forest areas by 15%. Provides a healing effect of 2% HP per second for 10 seconds when in the wilderness.

This armor appeared light and flexible, designed for archers or warriors who relied on speed and agility. The material looked like a mix of fabric and leather, but there was a mystical shimmer indicating that the material was far stronger than it appeared.

He observed the golden lines decorating the sides of the armor, giving an elegant and tactical impression. The middle-aged man frowned, “This armor is perfect for warriors who fight in open environments, especially in forests. The healing effect is an incredible bonus… but its strength is certainly lower compared to heavy armor.” Though it wasn’t suited to his fighting style, he appreciated the beauty and ingenuity of the design.

He then walked further in, and his eyes fell on another armor that was vastly different from the previous two. This armor looked rugged, with spikes protruding from the shoulders to the chest. Its dark color, a mix of black and bronze, gave the impression of brutal strength.

(Hellthorn Armor)

– Level: 35

– Attributes: STR +300, RES +150

– Hell’s Thorns: Every received attack reflects 5% damage back to the attacker. The spikes inflict additional wounds on nearby enemies.

The man raised his eyebrows, examining the details of this armor. The sharp spikes jutting out from the armor’s surface looked deadly, not just as protection but also as a weapon. “This is armor for the truly brutal fighters,” he thought.

The “Hell’s Thorns” effect was clearly designed for close combat, forcing enemies to think twice before attacking. He could envision a warrior wearing this armor in the midst of battle, absorbing blows while dealing damage back to his foes.

“This armor would suit those who are not afraid to fight with full force, without much concern for other defensive strategies. Simple, brutal, and effective,” he muttered again, respecting its unique design.

After examining the three armors, the middle-aged man stood for a moment, reflecting. Each armor had its own strengths and weaknesses, all heavily dependent on the user’s fighting style.

“Amazing, this store offers so many options, each with a uniqueness that’s hard to find elsewhere,” he thought before continuing his search for other items that might better suit his needs.
