From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

As Kern finished speaking, the door opened back up and the guard stated, "You all have 10 minutes to finish up and be ready outside," before closing the door again.

Gisorn walked up and chimed in, "Well, I have enough crystals for all my weapons, but the fact we have a 75k cap overall is a bit annoying. I would suggest we take the vest and the medkits; those can be life-saving as they use the crystal essence to close up wounds."

Ty\'s focus sharpened as he quickly weighed the priorities Gisorn had suggested, finding them sound and sensible. "Alright, let\'s prioritize survival gear then. The vests and medkits are essential. We\'ll get those first," he confirmed, signaling his readiness to move forward with these critical purchases.

Turning his attention back to the terminal, Ty swiftly interacted with the system to finalize their decisions. "Phillis, we\'ll take 2 Reinforced Vests and four Basic Medical Kits. How much will that total?" he asked, ensuring clarity in their financial commitments.

After a brief moment, as the calculations were displayed, Ty followed up with another question to keep track of their spending strategy. "How much do we have left to spend from the 50k budget on my end?" he queried, making sure to manage their resources efficiently while ensuring the team\'s readiness for what lay ahead.

Phillis confirmed the updated balance and budget, ensuring clarity for further purchases. "After spending 40,000 Currency in total, your remaining balance is 3,006,305, with a budget left of 10,000 you can spend today. Your squad has a total of 35,000 left overall to spend. What else can I get you?"

Ty nodded, appreciating the detailed update. "I see, thank you, Phillis. What about the sleeping bags? I think we should grab two. It\'s going to be a long 96 hours and while we might have fast action, it is important that we get some sleep," he stated, considering the physical demands the Arena would impose.

Kern weighed in, looking to possibly extend the comfort provided by the sleeping bags to everyone. "I suppose, it also comes with a bit of extra gear and is a bit cheap, should we buy all 5 so we all get one?" he asked.

"No, we should only buy two. Even at night, we should alternate fire watch so we have three people on watch at all times," Ty reasoned, emphasizing the necessity of maintaining vigilance."

Gisorn, who was checking his own gear—an X-shaped harness loaded with ammunition and lines of blue crystals interspersed with various shades of green and red—nodded in agreement. "I agree, that is the most sense. If we are to buy anything else, I would suggest the thermal scope.

The variant can be used by anyone, so while I am sleeping, someone can easily keep a lookout," he suggested, highlighting the strategic advantage of having such equipment.

Phillis quickly chimed in to the discussion about the sleeping bags and the suggestion for the thermal scope. "Sleeping bags designed for rapid deployment and enhanced comfort are priced at 3,000 Currency each. The thermal scope, adaptable for various weapon systems and effective for nighttime surveillance, is priced at 15,000 Currency."

Ty did the mental calculations and nodded at the feasibility. "Alright, let\'s go ahead with two sleeping bags for 6,000 Currency and one thermal scope for 15,000 Currency. That should keep us flexible and prepared for night watches."

"Though I will need one of to cover the rest is that okay?" Ty asked

Gisorn nodded and stated "sure, go ahead and use what\'s needed from mine."

Perfect, I will cover both Sleeping Bag systems and 4,000 of the 15,000 Thermal Scope. Ty stated."

"Processing your request," Phillis confirmed, and after a brief moment, she updated, "Transaction successful. You have now spent a total of 61,000 Currency today. Your remaining balance for today\'s budget is 14,000 Currency, and your overall balance is now 2,996,305 Currency."

Rosana, listening intently, added her thoughts on their preparedness. "With the thermal scope and the sleeping arrangements sorted, perhaps we should consider some form of silent communication gear? It might help us during stealth operations or when maintaining silence is crucial."

Ty considered the suggestion valuable. "Phillis, do we have options for silent communication devices that could aid in stealth situations?"

"Yes," Phillis replied. "We offer a set of silent communication wristbands that utilize vibrations and light signals to convey messages silently among team members. The set for a team of five is priced at 20,000 Currency."

Ty sighed lightly, accepting the limitations of their current budget. "I see, sadly that is out of our budget. We will have to make do with your keen senses and just our ability to track our surroundings and pay attention."

Rosana shrugged, her practicality coming to the forefront. "I will try my best, but no guarantees," she stated. She then detailed the contents of the prepped bags they were considering. "It seems the two prepped bags come with a medkit, one MRE each, a bunch of bandages, gauze, an emergency blanket, a portable water filter, and a fire-starter kit."

Ty chuckled at the thought of needing such basic survival tools in their high-tech environment. "A fire starter kit? Well, in the case of needing a fire starter kit, things must have gone very bad for us both."

Rosana chuckled as well, a nervous hand rubbing the back of her head while her ears twitched slightly. "Yeah, haha, but what should we do with the last 14,000?"

"Good question," Ty mused. "Honestly, I believe we will be able to scavenge and find food just fine, so while some extra bars would be nice, I was looking at the Camo Tent. Are those any good?"

Rosana shrugged. "They can be, but they are rather small. Like, two people could fit under one, perhaps, but it could be useful still. I heard they are fast to set up and put away."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Your next read is at empire

Gisorn interjected, finding a strategic use for the tent. "I could use it while I\'m scouting to avoid detection. I know since I didn\'t see Firona here, she will be on the other side, and she has an ability to sense when she\'s being seen. Can\'t really explain it fully, but it\'s a little bothersome."

Ty nodded, seeing the pieces come together. "Perfect, then I think we should grab an extra bag. While it will just be an empty large bag, we have no idea what items we might come across. And together, these equal 14,000."

They all nodded in agreement, and Ty turned to Phillis to finalize their purchases, ensuring they were fully equipped and ready for the unknown challenges that awaited them in the Arena.
