Security simply projected a blue scanning lattice over his body before allowing him to enter the military district.
Although he lacked enough Aevum to purchase military equipment or advanced combat suits, many civilian-grade components could still be bought using ordinary dollars; fortunately, almost every compatible component had already been catalogued and highlighted by RIN AI.
"Is there no Origin Core Crystal available for purchase?" Young Aether asked while examining the rows of mechanical components displayed behind transparent shields.
