Chapter 1734 Three Winged Angel Dungeon -Part 2
"When you had discussed collaborating with the researchers, I had already taken the initiative to talk to them. Since then, this was my pet project which I had managed to complete a day ago. I honestly, have no idea that you will be here the next day. And here I thought that I could improve on it further before giving you a more improved product." Nie explained
"I assumed this eye… thingy is from the dungeons below?" Jin asked and Nie acknowledged while knocking at the side of the wardrobe, indicating that he is here physically to talk about it further.
"Actually, that was inside one of the mercenaries that had been killed within the workshop. It was preserved so nicely, I thought it would be a good material for our smithing experiments. Went to research it a little further and found out that this came from a Demigorgon. Apparently, they said to have eyes within their mouth so no one could know that could see." Nie showed the articles of the Demigorgon to Jin.
"How does having the eye on the Demigorgon would work on the sword?" Jin asked and Nie shrugged.
"I have no idea but for some reason, the Demigorgon's eyes reacted extremely well with the prototype sword when it came. Of course, it's a coincidence since I left the box of eyes at my workshop table. To my surprise, it fit quite nicely but it's awfully eerie."
"I would honestly want to try it out now to see if it's as useful as it would be or if it has any demeaning effects on it." Jin felt that this would be a good addition to his current arsenal and said that he would take it.
"For this, I would ask for 5000 points if that's possible. It might be materials that had been lying around but I spent quite a fair bit of effort on it. Not to mention, Master Flammet asked me to find sponsors to rebuild my set of tools….so yeah… Apologies if I am asking too much." Nie said and suddenly he saw his bank account got updated and he nearly vomited blood.
"This is…?" Nie could not believe his eyes.
"You said you need a sponsor, right? I have yet to pay you for the ride to Mount Sunn too, take this as the fees too." Jin smiled as he took the swords and asked if Nie could create a customised holster that held all the swords that he was carrying right now.
"What happened to guns?"
"I will still hold them, but considering where we are going, I do not think being a modern archer would be sufficient to hold them down or maybe even kill the monsters."
"That is true. At certain points, most dungeon explorers would already have some relic or artefact of some sort to aid them. The only problem is they never show it to anyone mainly because these relics and artefacts could not be sold or even seen."
"What do you exactly mean?"
"It means that those artefacts only emerged when one was to enter the dungeons. So, those mercs that we killed? They might have been decent dungeon explorers especially if one were to get the eyes of a demigorgon. I think it's the world's way to not prevent people from being overpowered…?"
"Wait a minute, no one ever told me that before."
"Because most of the time, when someone hunts in the dungeons, it's meant to bring back resources. Even Variant Dungeons is all about resources. But if you were to go deeper than Variant Dungeons, you would find even more crazy monsters that cannot be killed by mere bullets. When OId Flammet and I saw your powers, we initially thought you were a dungeon explorer. But also find it odd that you were able to display such powers in public. Perhaps, it was some privilege or something."
"I see… now I understand why I am being treated so differently when people saw me wielding those powers."
"Yeah, and for those that were incapable of exploring dungeons or want the short way out, I can imagine the reason for why the presence of Monster Mechanoids. But I also wondered why no one ever thought of monster infused Mechanoids. Now that you mentioned it, it should be a concept that can be explored. But Old Flammet would probably know better on that subject. Could be because of the ego of those monsters within the Mechanoids."
"Hmmm, is that why those Monster Mechanoids could not be exactly reasoned with?" Jin asked but Nie could not answer him.
"I won't know unless I try making one…but I do not want to risk the Empire's wrath and give them a reason to attack Mount Sunn. That one incursion is more than enough of me in this lifetime." Nie said and told Jin to give him some time to create a customised holster to fit all the swords that he was carrying.
"Ahhh I missed the days of my Living Metal storage watch," Jin complained to the System and it could not do anything else. "The System believes it is time for you to talk to Old Flammet, he has already taken in the decisions and choices for the entire Grey Bear Squad."
"That's fast. How would they know what they want to upgrade?"
"They had consulted with the System while you were asleep on the Helicarrier. Most of the upgrade ideas had already gone through a few rounds of compromising with the System as they wished to complement those physical upgrades with the upgrade cards that the System provides."
"Ah I see… why was I left out of such conversations."
"Because you are asleep and you needed the sleep."
"Oh well, I needed time for Nie to do his job anyway. Will go speak to the Master." Jin said reluctantly as he was the only one who did not think of what kind of upgrades he could get.
