Having stepped out of the office, Jack Clark went to his storage locker and with a mere thought moved his combat knife and battle armor into his bracelet.
Jake Clark murmured, “This thing really is convenient.”
At this moment, his mobile phone rang from his pocket, causing him to pause. Who could be calling him at this time?
Upon checking the caller ID and seeing it was Freya Louise, he couldn’t help but ask, “Freya, aren’t you at school? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?” “Come to the Logistics Department.”
“What’s going on?”
The girl on the other end responded quietly: “Help me move something.”
“Moving stuff, huh? I’m good at that. Wait for me.”
Despite his confusion over what she could possibly need help with given her arm strength of one to two thousand kilograms, Jack Clark still promptly agreed, arriving at the logistics department shortly afterwards.
It was the first day of school, so the Logistics Department was fairly empty, save for a young girl with delicate features standing in front of the counter, smiling brightly at the sight of Jack Clark walking in.
On the counter behind her was a halberd with a three-meter-long handle as thick as a goose egg. The halberd’s entire body was entwined in gold thread against a black background, with a sharp point at the end that resembled a spear.
The halberd’s tip was fifty centimeters long, had barbs, and the slash blades on both sides extended over half a meter, arching forward and sloping back. It was similar to the Square Sky Halberd, but exuded a more overbearing and powerful air.
Predominantly suitable for stabbing forward, the weapon would also be ideal for a person of Jack Clark’s strength to cleave and sweep.
Upon seeing this, Jack Clark halted.
Gracefully folding her hands behind her back, the young girl smiled at Jack Clark. “Take it. As a good friend, consider this a belated birthday gift from me.” The look in Jack Clark’s eyes suddenly became complicated.
He hadn’t expected that she would gift him a battle halberd, a day after he casually mentioned the contribution points he’d just earned were enough to exchange for a halberd technique.
Compared to the battle knife worth 10 contribution points, this type of heavy weapon was much more expensive. Particularly this halberd, which was clearly extraordinary, would cost at least 30 points.
Jake Clark inhaled deeply: “How did you know I just had my birthday?”
“Your mom quietly filled me in yesterday morning. She said you should have invited us to a celebratory meal for your birthday, but it seemed like you were too shy to invite us.”
“I never would have guessed you could feel shy.” Unable to suppress herself, the girl broke into laughter.
Cough!
Jake Clark coughed: “It’s not that I was shy. 1 just thought there was no need to make a fuss over an ordinary birthday. I’m not some bigshot.”
Freya Louise shook her head: “You might not be now, but who can say for certain in a couple of years. There’s a saying ‘ain’t nobility and rogues just different seeds?'”
Given Jack Clark’s terrifying talent of the Fourth Layer Heaven in just half a year, his cultivation level would definitely exceed the Seventh Layer Heaven in a couple of years. Such a powerful man would have some clout in Mist River.
The young girl blinked her beautiful eyes and pointed to the halberd on the counter. “This is the first time I’ve given someone a gift. You wouldn’t embarrass me by not accepting it, right?”
“Alright, I’ll accept your gift.” Jack didn’t hesitate. After all, it was only thirty contribution points. To him now, that wasn’t a big deal.
Jake walked up and grabbed the handle of the halberd in the middle. He immediately felt the weight in his hand.
This battle halberd was a total of three-point-six meters long, with its widest part nearly one meter in width. It probably weighed around a hundred and fifty kilograms. Ordinary people wouldn’t even be able to drag it, but Jack lifted it up effortlessly with a slight exertion of strength.
Jack swung the huge halberd a couple of times casually. An instant raging wind bellowed within the Logistics Department. It was so formidable that it created an overbearing and invincible aura.
When Jack stopped, Freya Louise couldn’t help but exclaim, “Looks like you really are suited to this kind of heavy weapon.”
“Indeed it feels way more comfortable.” Jack nodded.
Having accepted the gift, the two walked out of the Logistics Department shoulder to shoulder. The staff heaved a sigh of relief as the pair showing off their ‘love’ finally left.
When they exited the Logistics Department, following a thought from Jack, the halberd disappeared into his bracelet, subsequently causing the invisible interior space of the bracelet to expand momentarily.
Noticing this, Freya Louise looked surprised. “The Sumeru Bracelet, did Mr.Perry help you apply for it?”
“You knew about this?”
The young girl shook her head, “Mr. Perry also sent me a message earlier to collect my reward. But 1 didn’t expect that you would receive a Sumeru Bracelet.”
As someone who had slain the Fourth Layer Heaven Blood Envoy and a cultist, Freya Louise’s Battle achievments were not inferior to Crystal Leinster, and she also received additional rewards.
However, their rewards were resources that were compatible with their Cultivation Methods.
Suddenly, Freya Louise said, “Right, you were planning to exchange for the Advanced Halberd Skill, aren’t you? Then this halberd will be forged into a Transcendent Weapon.”
Jack nodded,”Yeah, I plan to forge it as soon as 1 have the Transcendent Materials.”
“In that case, shouldn’t this weapon have a name?”
He didn’t care much about the name of the weapon, but seeing Freya Louise’s anticipation, he couldn’t help but smile and say, “Why don’t you help me choose one?”
“Sure.”
Freya Louise nodded excitedly. After some contemplation, she said, “Considering your fighting style is domineering, strength is peerless, and you wield a battle halberd that is well-suited for cleaving,”
“Also, the cultivation method you want to exchange for is called Eight Desolate Refining Hell, so why not just name it Eight Desolate Battle Halberd?”
“When you reach the Ninth Heavens, one strike from the halberd will cause the mountains and rivers to crumble, the giant beasts to wail, even the gods and ghosts will flee, sweeping the eight wastes.” While speaking, she even enthusiastically waved her hand in the air.
Eight Desolate Battle Halberd, isn’t naming it after the Cultivation Method the same as not naming it at all?
While inwardly making fun of her, his face remained composed as Jack nodded appreciatively, “Nice name. When I forge this into a Transcendent Weapon, 1’11 have ‘Eight Desolate Battle Halberd’ engraved on it.”
Seeing that her suggested name was adopted, Freya Louise was extremely pleased. Waving at Jack Clark she said, “In that case, you should go and exchange for your advanced combat skills. I’ll go find Mr. Perry to collect my things..”
