Chapter Two Hundred and Five: Expensive Ghost Equipment
Lex looked at the mission target in front of him and killed the Sauce Crowd with a single shot from his shotgun, and then he offered to join Shepard's team and go with them to take out Saren.
The reason is also very simple, Xue Pard and Shen Chao's battle table just now surprised him very much. Shepard's ability is not inferior to him in any way, and his combat skills are also very mature, not at all like a person who has only been fighting for more than ten years.
Shen Chao's appearance surprised him even more, he had walked the galaxy for hundreds of years, and it was the first time he had seen such an efficient infiltration warrior, although his combat skills still seemed to be worse than Shepard, but his speed could make up for this gap. The combined combat effectiveness will not be worse than Shepard's to go there.
The strength of a person with such a combat effectiveness of a crew should naturally not be underestimated. As a seasoned master of combat and a bounty hunter, Lex has long been keenly aware of recent developments in galactic politics.
The political situation in the galaxy during this period of time can be said to be abrupt, and there is no major turmoil on the surface, but the experienced Lex has sensed the formation of a new undercurrent.
Far from being contained, Saren's actions were not as contained as the council had claimed, and Lex sensed that Saleen would continue to be active on the galactic political scene for some time to come.
And the conflict between Shepard and Salen, who is pursuing him, will have a huge impact on the future of politics in the galaxy. Although he didn't see who would win in the end, he did see an opportunity.
An opportunity to enhance his reputation and seek new challenges, so he can't wait to get involved. As a pure Krogan man, Lex couldn't refuse such a challenging battle.
In this way, there is no Krogan in the world who does not like to fight, and the difference is only that the Cheng dù is different. Right now, he was negotiating terms with Shepard as Shen Chao expected.
"Why would you like to join us?" Sister Xue asked, the Krogan people in front of her were really as powerful as Shen Chao said, and it was indeed as he said, and he couldn't wait to join her team after the battle.
However, until now, she still didn't understand how Shen Chao came to such a precise conclusion. So she had to ask. Confirm the purpose of this Krogan man.
"You are the most capable human I have ever seen, and if Saren can be your enemy, then he must be very strong. If that's the case, I'll have to be involved......" Lex explained in his deep tone, a Krogan man who would never hide his desire to fight.
"Okay, we'll make up our minds......" Sister Xue had never had such close contact with the Krogan people before. But right now, this Krogan is quite in line with her appetite, with a clear goal and a strong fighting force, which is perfect for the operation she is about to embark on.
After settling the trivial matter here, Sister Xue notified the Divine Castle Police Station to come over, and it was very soon. The bar, which they had messed up about, was cordoned off by the Citadel police, who, after a brief questioning, got out of the way.
The ghosts have such a privilege, and after killing people, they can flash people as long as they give a reasonable reason, and the cause of death of this group of mercenaries was finally confirmed to be: they were killed for obstructing the ghosts' law enforcement......
After dealing with these things, they went to the headquarters of the Citadel Police Station again. This is the headquarters of 200,000 police officers in the Citadel, working part-time to provide the ghosts with all the special equipment they need.
Sister Xue has confirmed that Starlink's first cash grant has arrived. Starlink first gave her the first batch of 400,000 star coins for the event. Future funding will be considered by Starlink based on her mission briefing.
Looking at Sister Xue's elated appearance at this moment, Shen Chao really didn't know whether to remind her how bad the price of ghost equipment was, although under normal circumstances, the purchasing power of 400,000 star coins was very strong. …,
However, in the face of the bottomless pit of ghost equipment, which burns money, this little money is still not enough. At most, buy a gun or two that can be passed.
They follow the security verification of the passage guò one by one. Finally, we arrived at the bottom of the heavily defended Citadel Police Station, which is the core of the police station's storage of ghost equipment.
It doesn't look much different from the rest of the Citadel Police Station. The same architectural style, all clean and tidy square rooms. It's just that there's a place like a help desk.
"How can I help?" The Touareg sitting at the front of the desk asked without raising his head, not that he deliberately treated Shepard and them badly, but he didn't realize that there was a ghost of the Divine Citadel standing in front of him.
Contrary to what many people think, although the Ghost's special equipment arsenal has a high defense level, it is actually not only the Ghost that can enter.
This is the headquarters of the C-SEC, and the defense is strong, and it is not far from the C-SEC's ordinary equipment arsenal, and it is not uncommon for people to make mistakes.
There are two security gates from the warehouse, and only those who have passed the guò security verification can enter the final weapons area.
This is just a reception room, and this Touareg is the guide who is responsible for receiving the ghosts and helping them choose the right weapons and equipment. Some new C-SEC cops who don't understand the rules will sometimes come in and annoy him.
He had just seen from the surveillance video that it was two humans and one Krogan coming down, so he took it for granted that it was a similar situation.
"Yes, I'm a ghost and need new equipment...... Sister Xue asked with a frown, the receptionist's attitude made her a little unhappy.
And Shen Chao, who was standing next to him, took the opportunity to open his universal tool and check his account information on the Internet. It's 19 p.m. in Galaxy Standard Time, and the deal he's been waiting for since the morning should have been completed.
Sure enough, there were two messages in his communication record, the Salari merchant who had purchased the gold he provided had sent him a message, telling Shen Chao that the gold that Shen Chao had left in his shop had been sold, and the transfer had been completed, so he asked Shen Chao to check and inform him.
The reason why Shen Chao waited until now to investigate was mainly because he sold more gold this time, and the businessman couldn't gather enough funds to buy it all for a while.
At that time, Shen Chao was in a hurry and didn't want to run more, so he directly kept the rest of the gold, and let the Salari merchant directly transfer the star coins to his account after raising enough funds.
Now, this account has also been settled, and Shen Chao has more than one million star coins in his account, and the funds in his account have reached 3.4 million star coins!
Even if he was placed on the Divine Citadel, he was now one of the rich. At this time, the receptionist finally confirmed Sister Xue's ghost identity, and hurriedly apologized and led them into the warehouse. As Shepard's entourage, they can follow up, but only Shepard has the right to purchase ghost gear.
It's home to the galaxy's cutting-edge gear. An exhibition park for all kinds of high-performance and high-price equipment, as well as real yàn weapons and equipment. Here, on average, the destructive power of various individual weapons is more than ten times higher than that of mainstream Mass Effect firearms, and the price is more than a hundred times higher!
Taking assault rifles as an example, Shen Chao's earliest contact with the M8 Avenger assault rifle is an example, the public price of this military rifle with very average performance hovers around 100 star coins all year round, and the military simplified version purchased by Starlink is only about 80 star coins.
Shen Chao's assault rifle is a completely revamped M8 Avenger, with a high-quality heavy-duty barrel replaced with a cooling system that has been replaced from an integrated mass-produced model to a high-end model of the stand-alone model. The heat dissipation efficiency has been improved by 800%.
In addition, the sighting system, detection system, etc., have undergone a significant transformation, and the whole gun is completely incomparable with the mass production. The cost of a single gun is as high as 3,000 Star Coins, which is 30 times the cost of the original gun. …,
THE MODIFIED M8 AVENGER'S SINGLE-SHOT KINETIC ENERGY HAS BEEN INCREASED BY NEARLY 3 TIMES, FROM THE LEVEL OF A 12.7MM HEAVY MACHINE GUN TO THE LEVEL OF A 14.5MM HEAVY MACHINE GUN. This is already the best that can be transformed in the open market.
However, compared to the ghost equipment, his rifle that he spent a lot of money to build is rubbish. None of the guns in the Spectre Gear Catalog are less destructive than that, I mean pistols!
The various high-quality assault rifles are even more garbage in Shen Chao's hands, and the lowest destructive power of the firearms he saw is more than 10 times that of mass production goods, of course, the price of such an artifact is relatively cheating, and the price of no one is less than 300,000 star coins. Enough to buy two or three civilian versions of shuttles.
Sister Xue has a lot of money in her hands, according to the conventional equipment, it is enough to replace the equipment in the arsenal in Normandy twice and buy a brand new military-type shuttle, but here, it is not easy to buy a good gun with this little money.
Looking at Shepard's embarrassed expression, the kind of look that he couldn't buy if he wanted to, Shen Chao took a step forward, patted her on the shoulder, and motioned for her to look at the information on his universal tool.
He called up his account information and signaled that Sister Xue could use his money for emergencies. Watching Shen Chao pull out her 7-digit account, Sister Xue's eyes straightened when she saw this, she really couldn't figure out how Shen Chao could have so much money.
However, Shen Chao's behavior made her breathe a sigh of relief, she finally didn't have to worry about not being able to afford the high-end equipment here. In the end, under Shen Chao's construction, she finally spent 2.8 million star coins to sell each Marine on the ship a weapon that they were good at.
Although the money in Shen Chao's hand is far from enough to fully change everyone's clothes, there is no problem for everyone to change a good gun. And he didn't do it specifically to help Sister Xue.
After all, his own safety for the next period of time depends on these powerful teammates of various races, and with these powerful equipment, his safety is guaranteed.
