The Honor Shop added a prompt introducing the source of its items. Su Xiao had previously wondered why the shop often sold items that seemed high-end but weren't very useful to him.
Now it seemed the issue wasn't that the Honor Shop's items were trash, but rather that Su Xiao's rank was too low and his perspective too limited.
[As the Hunter only possesses Gold Honor Medals, the following exchanges are available.]
[Gold Honor Medals held: 11.]
Soul Crystal (Complete) × 1.
Price: 15 Gold Honor Medals, limited to one.
...
Honor Recovery Potion (Fifth Rank).
Effect: Upon use, instantly restores 100% Health Points and 100% Mana Points, and forms a basic indestructible shield lasting 3 seconds.
Price: 13 Gold Honor Medals, limited to two bottles.
...
Ancient Clockwork.
Effect: Upon use, forcibly returns the user to Reincarnation Paradise.
Price: 6 Gold Honor Medals.
...
Soul Lock Lantern.
Effect: This is a special-grade equipment. When carrying this equipment and killing enemies, it collects the enemy's Soul Crystal Fragments. When the Soul Crystal Fragments reach a certain quantity, the user can synthesize them into Soul Crystals (Small, Medium, Large). The grade of the Soul Crystal depends on the quantity of Soul Crystal Fragments. This equipment's durability cannot be repaired.
Price: 30 Gold Honor Medals. Due to its high value, this item will lose its exchange eligibility after the Honor Shop refreshes seven times.
...

Effect: Can sustain life for 3 to 7 natural days in extremely harsh environments.
Price: 2 Gold Honor Medals.
...
Seeing the items in the Honor Shop, even Su Xiao, with his composure, couldn't help but feel envious. A Soul Crystal (Complete) was a high-tier item he had never seen before, or even heard of.
As for the Fifth-Rank Honor Potion, drinking it not only "revived you on the spot" but also formed a basic invincible shield lasting 3 seconds—an absolute lifesaver.
The [Ancient Clockwork] was also a great item. Using it immediately returned you to Reincarnation Paradise, another lifesaver in desperate situations.
As for the [Soul Lock Lantern], this thing was ridiculously powerful. If he had this equipment, the Soul Crystals Su Xiao needed would be steadily produced over time. After raising Blade Grandmaster to Lv.10 and above, each level required 10 Soul Crystals (Large). However, given the sheer power of Blade Grandmaster, this was already a very low upgrade cost.
The only mediocre item was the [Linus Life Support Device], but it was still a survival tool for harsh environments—only by staying alive could there be hope.
This time, the items provided by the Honor Shop leaned somewhat toward survival. This wasn't good news, as it basically meant the Violators Su Xiao encountered would only get stronger.
Violators varied in strength, and so did Hunters. The stronger Su Xiao became, the stronger the Violators he faced would be—never weaker. Violators who survived to the Fourth Rank couldn't be weak.
A choice lay before Su Xiao: save up Gold Honor Medals to exchange for the [Soul Lock Lantern], or first exchange for the lifesaving item [Ancient Clockwork].
After killing Si Zhao, Su Xiao had obtained 10 Gold Honor Medals. If he encountered even stronger opponents, the pace of accumulating Gold Honor Medals would only accelerate.
After deliberating for a moment, Su Xiao used 6 Gold Honor Medals to exchange for the [Ancient Clockwork]. If he couldn't even protect his life, what was the point of talking about exchanging for the [Soul Lock Lantern]?
A clockwork the size of an alarm clock appeared in Su Xiao's hand. Its second hand only ticked occasionally, looking as if it might break down at any moment.
This unremarkable clockwork could save Su Xiao's life at a critical moment. After using it, Su Xiao would directly return to Reincarnation Paradise. Such a powerful item should have been more expensive, but it had a drawback: it couldn't exempt the penalty for failing a main mission.
Su Xiao had one exemption from failing a main mission. The combination of the two was perfect, which was the main reason Su Xiao chose to exchange for the clockwork.
