Chapter 1584: Black Divine Weapon! Borrow Military Merit from Sister Lin!

After careful selection, Xu Jingming chose a Class SS1 combat suit.

【Dark Star Combat Suit (SS1):

Reduces cosmic peak-level rule damage and impact by 90%.

Reduces low-rank eternal-level rule energy impact by 20%. Price: 4 billion military merit.】

The suit is entirely black, with cold, sharp, angular lines.

Its surface flows with a faint light like the shadow of a star river.

Joints are covered in purple-black active metal, balancing flexibility and defense.

"Cosmic-level damage no longer threatens me—the key is this 20% reduction against eternal-level."

"In combat with eternal-level foes, even the slightest advantage can decide life or death."

"This 20% could be the turning point when it matters most!"

Xu Jingming silently pondered, then added it directly to his cart.

"Next, it's time for a spear."

Xu Jingming continued browsing; after more than ten minutes, a spear appeared in the holographic display.

The spear was about two point four meters long, its body a deep, profound black, as if condensed from a stretch of starry night.

The shaft was not smooth and seamless, but precisely assembled from 3,600 thin, cicada-wing-like 'Thunder Scales.'

Each scale bore engraved dark-gold thunder patterns, interwoven and flowing.

They faintly formed ancient thunder totems.

The spearhead was about thirty centimeters long, shaped like a three-edged armor-piercing cone.

A single point of cold brilliance hovered, unreleased, yet radiating a sharpness that subtly warped the void.

When still, the entire spear absorbed all radiance, ancient and heavy, like a slumbering spine of a thunder dragon.

But once activated...

"Ninefold Lei Yu Spear, part of the Black Divine Weapon series."

Wei La's tiny soul-form drifted beside him, smiling, "This spear truly suits you."

Vera's tiny soul form floated aside, smiling as she introduced, "This gun truly suits you."

Xu Jingming swiftly scanned the detailed description.

Black Divine Weapons are the top-tier standard armaments produced by the Mastercraft Star under the Eternal Star Alliance!

Their core selling points are evolution and compatibility with the essence of cosmic rules.

This Ninefold Lei Yu Spear requires mastery of Thunder and Destruction essence to wield.

From SSS9 to SSS1, it has nine forms.

Each upgrade requires purchasing an additional 3,600 Thunder Scales of the corresponding rank to expand the spear's core thunder matrix.

This means, as long as Xu Jingming keeps acquiring more scales, the spear will grow with him all the way to SSS1!

What thrilled him more was that each form came with a unique ability.

The unique ability of the SSS9 form is called 'Thunder Fang.'

The Thunder Scales converge to form a half-meter-long, solidified thunder blade along the black spear shaft, greatly increasing lethality!

"Perfect spear!" Xu Jingming couldn't help exclaiming, his eyes blazing.

His power had risen too fast.

Weapons often became obsolete too soon, a constant nuisance.

With this Ninefold Lei Yu Spear, he could use it until before the Dominator realm!

But when he saw the price, his brow furrowed.

It required 12 billion military merit!

Even if he gave up the suit, he'd still be short 760 million.

"The gap isn't huge, but I must buy the suit.

That means I still need at least 4.76 billion more."

Xu Jingming rubbed his temples.

Money is always too little when you need it.

He'd thought over a hundred billion military merit was plenty.

Yet it still wasn't enough to buy what he wanted.

"Let me try borrowing first.

If I can't, I'll give up and pick a standard SS1 spear."

After a brief pause, Xu Jingming sent a communication request to Lin Qianxue via his smart bracer.

In the 102nd Planet Fortress, he knew many people.

But the only one who might lend him billions of military merit was Lin Qianxue.

The only one who might have borrowed tens of billions of military merits is Lin Qianxue.

Almost the moment the request was sent, it was answered.

The communication request was answered instantly the moment it was sent.

Virtual light converged, forming a cold, exquisite holographic projection in the quiet chamber.

Xu Jingming looked up and froze.

Lin Qianxue had clearly just finished bathing.

She had removed her silver-white combat suit and worn only a silk robe.

He changed out of his silver-white battle armor and wore only a silk robe.

Her robe was pale white, soft and form-fitting, outlining her tall, slender figure.

Her pale golden eyes seemed hazy with moisture, less cold than usual, more languid and gentle.

Most striking about her entire figure were the legs, fully exposed to the air.

The hem of Lin Qianxue's robe barely reached mid-thigh.

Revealing a pair of straight, long, snow-white legs without reservation.

The lines of those legs were perfectly proportioned, tapering from rounded thighs downward.

At the knees, they curved into slender arcs, then extended down the calves—long and taut.

Her skin glowed with a fine, warm, ivory-like luster under the room's soft light.

Her ankles were delicate and dainty, her ten toes like shells, bare feet lightly pressing against the soft carpet, the arch of her foot elegantly graceful, stealing the breath.

None of the women Xu Jingming possessed had poor figures.

Yet even so, they still paled slightly beside these long legs.

"Little brother? You're looking for me?"

Seeing he didn't speak immediately, Lin Qianxue spoke softly.

Her voice, slightly hoarse from her bath, was soft and enchanting.

Xu Jingming snapped back to attention.

Suppressing the ripples in his heart, he hurriedly said:

"Senior sister, I want to buy a weapon, but my military merits aren't enough—I'd like to borrow some from you."

"How much?" Lin Qianxue replied succinctly.

"Still short by 4.8 billion." Xu Jingming stated the number.

"Alright, I'll transfer it to you shortly."

Lin Qianxue's expression didn't change; she merely gave a slight nod.

Direct and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

"Thank you, Senior Sister! As soon as I save up enough military merits, I'll pay you back immediately!"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, quickly thanking her.

"Mm." Lin Qianxue responded, "Is there anything else?"

"No, no, Senior Sister, rest now." Xu Jingming smiled and waved his hand.

The communication ended.

"No wonder she's Senior Sister! She can pull out 4.8 billion military merits at once!" Xu Jingming was in high spirits.

He continued browsing the details of the Ninefold Lei Yu Spear, waiting only for the military merits to arrive before placing the order.

On the other side.

Lin Qianxue ended the communication and opened her virtual universe account.

Balance: 1.02 billion military merits.

As a Nine-Star War General, she had spent years in constant battle.

Her gains were abundant, but her consumption of cultivation resources was equally enormous.

Saving a billion military merits was already no small feat.

"Little brother needs 4.8 billion—I'm still far short..."

Lin Qianxue paused briefly, then lightly tapped with her slender fingers, dialing another number.

It was answered instantly.

Yin Hongyu's enchanting, breathtakingly beautiful face appeared in the projection.

She seemed to be in her own cultivation chamber, wearing a red training suit.

Drenched in sweat, her peach-blossom eyes blinked, smiling warmly:

"Oh? How rare—you, our Lin Immortal, actually reached out to me?"

"Hongyu, lend me some military merits."

Lin Qianxue got straight to the point, her cold voice betraying no emotion.

"How much?" Yin Hongyu raised an eyebrow.

"3.8 billion."

"Pfft—!"

Yin Hongyu nearly choked, her beautiful eyes widening:

"What?! 3.8 billion? Lin Qianxue, are you robbing me?! I don't have that much!"

She grimaced: "I've got barely over a billion saved up—still hoarding it to buy new gear.

I can lend you at most one billion—no more."

"One billion is fine." Lin Qianxue nodded. "Just transfer it to me."

"Tsk. You don't sound like you're borrowing—you sound like you're collecting a debt."

Yin Hongyu pouted, but her fingers moved swiftly, completing the transfer:

"Still... if Lin Immortal owes me a favor, this billion is worth it."

Suddenly leaning close to the projection, her smile turned sly and meaningful:

"Next time I ask you for a small favor, you won't refuse, right?"

"As long as it doesn't violate my principles."

Lin Qianxue nodded.

"Don't worry—it'll be a small favor you can easily handle."

Yin Hongyu blinked her big eyes, trying to appear innocent.

The communication ended.

Lin Qianxue's account balance became 2.02 billion.

Still short by 2.68 billion.

She remained calm and continued making calls.

This time, it was several acquaintances from the Eternal Star Alliance: Lei Lie, Zhao Mingxue, Peggy, Su Yu...

She gave no lengthy explanation, only briefly said she needed to rotate military merit.

Though surprised, they all swiftly came to her aid out of trust in Lin Qianxue.

Lei Lie contributed eight hundred million, Zhao Mingxue six hundred million, Peggy four hundred million, Su Yu three hundred million...

Several other close-ranking war generals also chipped in.

Half an hour later, Lin Qianxue's account had gathered exactly 4.8 billion military merit.

Without hesitation, she transferred it all to Xu Jingming.
