YM778.TV Chapter 94 - Supreme Creationist (2)
After a brief moment of silence, Arnold burst into laughter, which confused Nathan and the others even more.
\'Did this guy lose a couple of his screws while he was missing?\' Nathan thought.
"Man, the look on your face... hahaha..." Arnold placed his hands on Nathan\'s shoulder and continued, "You really thought I\'d actually do something like that? The family has helped me a lot in the past and this is the least I can do to repay a bit of my debt. I\'m actually glad that you asked me to do it."
"You son of a gun!" Nathan sighed heavily, "You actually made a fool out of me. Don\'t you have any respect for the head of the family?"
"For me, you\'re still more like a brother than the \'Family Head\'." Arnold replied back. "So when do I begin?"
At this time one of the officials that had been observing the exchange between the two stepped up, "If you\'d like you can start now. Everything has already been taken care of and a workshop with the best told and resources has already been constructed."
"You guys are... quite efficient, I must say." Arnold nodded, "So I guess this is it then?"
"I\'m afraid so," Nathan replied, "But don\'t worry I\'ll get the ball rolling, and soon you\'ll be back with us."
"Don\'t worry about. By the way, I assume Nicole already knows about my arrival?"
Nathan nodded, "Yes, she does."
"Just tell her it wasn\'t me who you found. I want it to be a surprise when I meet her."
"You siblings really confuse me a lot, you know that right?"
"Maybe."
The two of them chatted for a while, and Nathan gave him some valuable information regarding a few different matters as well. After that Nathan bid farewell and Arnold was escorted to the workshop, where he was sitting as of now.
The requirement of the military was simple. For starters they needed a medium to long ranged weapon containing \'explosive\' power, which could be used against the low to middle class monsters while keeping the personnel safe. They also needed some defensive equipment as well.
Army targeted the low to middle class (F to B rank) monsters because if two reasons, one, these monsters constituted over 80% of the monster population and hence were troublesome to deal with, and second, the highest ranking officer in the army had a rank of S (why they didn\'t get the other S ranks on board was a mystery for Arnold) and there were only a couple of them, hence taking on high ranked/classed monsters was not a good idea for them.
"It looks like I already have something that meets their demands... but before I start making weapons, I should to check my inventory first. After all, I got a few interesting items from the trial."
Even though system itself was on \'standby\' mode, the inventory and his domain were still functioning. Arnold quickly opened his inventory and found a quite a few interesting things in there waiting for him.
Firstly, his eyes went towards the a pitch black egg, it was the Wyvern egg, he was notified about during his trial.
___
• Black Wyvern\'s egg.
[You are required to take care of this egg and bath it using blood. The egg will absorb the characteristic of monsters from their blood. Use different type of monster bloods to achieve better results. <Human blood can also be used>]
The egg will open after 119:23:58:12 days.
___
"Gotta find some blood for this little sucker." Arnold mumbled, "The countdown has already started as well I see... what if I..."
A thought struck Arnold\'s mind as he took a knife from the cupboard that contained all of the tools that he would require for making weapons, and sterilised it before making a little cut on his elbow. He let the drop of blood fall on the black egg and waited for something to happen.
___
The egg has absorbed the nutrients... it grows hungrier.
___
"That\'s one hungry baby... Looks like I have to go out for some monster hunting soon." he mumbled and started looking at other things in his inventory. What he saw next, completely took him off-guard.
There were bones, hide, and half a dozen vials that contained the thick black blood of the Wyvern he had slayed during his trial. Arnold was not expecting this at all! He thought he had lost the valuable resources back then but he didn\'t know he would get the things that he had wanted. He took out a vial containing the Wyvern\'s blood and used the [Probe] skill on it.
___
OBJECT : Wyvern Queen\'s blood
TYPE : Beast Blood
GRADE : C (cosmic scale)
REMARK : Extremely rare items. It is so rare that it can be called an artifact in it\'s own. Can only be obtained after slaying the Wyvern Queen. Important component to make different types of potions and can increase the life force of a being, that is... if someone is able to get rid of its deadly side effects before consumption.
___
"Cosmic scale... it\'s the second time I\'ve seen something like this." Arnold mumbled as he closed the tab in front of his eyes. "I wonder what it is all about. I know the Wyvern was tougher to kill than even the Dreadnought so does it mean that the \'Cosmic\' scale is something that\'s above that regular class of monsters?"
If a C ranked, cosmic grade monster was so strong, Arnold couldn\'t even imagine what a higher ranked monster would\'ve been capable of. Just the thought of it gave Arnold goosebumps.
He pondered about it for sometime before giving up. The information he had was way too limited, he needed to find more about the cosmic grade first. The system could\'ve obviously helped him but then there was the fact that system always went offline before Arnold needed some answers.
\'It won\'t do me much good to ponder about something that I have no control over.\' He thought, \'But I can do something with the blood right now...\'
Arnold gripped the vial of Wyvern blood that was in his arms, and looked at the egg in his other arm. To some It might have seemed monstrous for Arnold to even think of bathing/feeding the egg with the blood if it\'s kin, but to Arnold it wasn\'t anything special, blood was blood after all.
With this thought in his mind, Arnold placed the egg back on the table, opened up the vial and poured its content all over on the egg.
"Let\'s see what happens now... shall we?" Arnold said while rubbing his hands together.
