After having gained my bearings and somewhat figured out the place, I made a concise plan of action in my head of the objectives I had had in my mind for a while.

Looking for things that made me stronger and more effective in battle were of the most importance.

If I found a weapon with the right qualities and price I would consider purchasing it, but in truth I already had a good amount of good quality weapons that covered most of the necessary roles and niches in battle.

I had multiple weapons that covered my long range necessities, I had weapons that covered my mid range, I had weapons that covered my short range, I had close combat weapons, tactical weapons, and even high powered weapons like my Slingshot.

What I truly needed was to increase my power and effectiveness intrinsically so that I didn’t need to depend on weapons so much.

Inner Breath had helped me gain much ground in that respect but my last battle out in the woods had revealed to me my limitations.

I didn’t know what abilities Super Warrior Tokir possessed, but they were enough to put me in the defensive several times, and if truth be told, I was only one wrong move away from losing my life.

I didn’t like that my gap in strength with other F Rank individuals was so small making my margin of error equally as small.

So I decided to primarily focus on looking for things that increased my innate strength overall.

I had already seen many potential things just in my short time at the event.

I saw the normal stuff that you could find outside, like Performing Enhancing Synthetic Substances, Injections, and Pills and Training Boosting Items.

Although it was similar, being found in a Ranker Event I was sure the stuff is of much better quality.

I saw Strength, Stamina, and Vitality increasing foods, and special Items that also boosted those things.

How effective they truly were I didn't have a clue, but I was wary of buying some right off the back since they were actually much cheaper in price than other items that were being sold.

Most noteworthy of which were the crazy effect promoting potions, elixirs, and drinks.

There were all sorts of these kinds of items with powerful effects besides increasing strength, stamina, and Vitality.

I saw ones that promoted increased Magical strength, increased intelligence, increased healing, one that granted regeneration powers, one that increased the senses like my Purple Magic Seals, one that gave you magic energy powers, one that gave you fire powers along with others that gave you a variety of elemental powers; Gigantism, super speed, super resistance, and even flight.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

The list of amazing effects these Potions, Elixirs and drinks could offer was never ending.

Every one of the items I saw could serve as an invaluable boost to anyone before, during, or after a battle; and so their importance and value wasn’t something only I could see.

The market stands that sold these items were crowded full of Rankers to the point that I could barely even squeeze in to get a good view of the items.

Nevertheless the wait or battle to acquire one of these items was well worth it, there was only one problem.

To my dismay, the price on these items was overall too expensive for what I had in mind to spend.

That was one thing that I had sadly come to find, that even with all my preparations and budgeting I was still much too poor for the event, with truly only a handful of platinum coins in my possession compared to everyone else.

In a place like this, my options were limited and I really couldn’t go all out, and had to pick what I wanted to buy carefully.

I started to get very irritated and angry as I had so much wealth stuck in the banks, but because I lacked a convenient transportation method such as the legendary spatial storage system, I could make no use of it.

And true to the legends I already had seen many rankers who owned such items arrogantly taking ridiculous amounts of money out of nowhere.

I had never experienced the greed and covetousness that had taken over my eyes, as they had done so, at the time of witnessing such an item in action.

As I perused for similar Items around the Event the few that I did find were of an astronomical value that I didn’t currently possess.

Even so next to Innate power increasers, compact increased storage items were labeled as most important within my mind.

But my comparative poverty became more obvious the more items of value I found.

Things like Magic Seals or Marks similar to the one I had just recently acquired, the mythical and rare Inheritance giving Items, Permanent Power giving Elixirs or Formulas, and Treasure consumables with similar effects were amazingly things that I found and could purchase, but were all were being sold at prices exceeding 10,000 Platinum coins.
