Chapter 1511 Handling The Loot
It was an understatement to say that Old Fammet and Nie, who were sitting near the front of the Variant dungeon and resolute to wait for the team to return, had spit their coffee out when they heard the teleporting sound.
As the only magical portion of this entire Virtual World, the Variant Dungeon"s teleport magic shone brilliantly to denote a full clear of the first floor. Old Fammet was also stupified to see the Grey Bear Squad all intact with not just a few pieces of the monsters in their possession but everyone brought back every piece of them.
"We do not really know what you needed, so we brought everything here," Jin said which made Old Fammet and Nie look at each other for a while before, the both of them unwittingly tapped each other"s hands with much anxiety. Without a doubt, the two Mecha Smiths had a lot of things going through their minds.
From simple things like "URGH HOW AM I GOING TO CLEAN THE ENTIRE WORKSHOP FROM ALL THESE BLOOD" to more complicated things such as "WE NEED TO PRESERVE THE MONSTER PARTS! THEY COULD SELL HIGH!"
But their mouths were not working as they stood up slowly with all those thoughts running through their heads before their eyes finally gave each other a unified stare. "We need to turn on those Mechanoids."
Without any moment to waste, Nie nodded his head and he started to run out of the room first as Old Fammet told them to bring them to his warehouse while walking in a straight line. (He obviously did not want too much mess on his already messy workshop.)
"Since you are going to be lord, we are going to harvest the parts of these monsters. Their meat can sell for a decent price in the market while the bones and miscellaneous parts can be recrafted into customised Mechanoids." Old Fammet was talking to Jin who was leading the group carrying the Three Blades Praying Mantis along with Lynn.
"I have more than enough good Mechanoids with me. Anymore, it would not be a squad no longer." Jin said but he stopped himself for a moment. "...Unless you are thinking of using it for defences."
"Yes. Do you think I would be like those idiots in the private corpos using those 3D printers or nanomachines to build the Mechanoids?" Old Fammet exclaimed.
"You did build me that still uses nanomachines" Page shouted from behind.
"You are medic, dumba.s.s. Of course, you need to use nanomachines. Besides, those nanomachines that I inserted into you are customised too!" Old Fammet shouted back Page shoot a tongue out at him.
And just as the group reached the Warehouse, Nie was already panting with a squad of activated Mechanoids right behind him.
"You can decode and override the security encryption?" Click asked with amazement when she saw the Mechanoids were obeying his orders.
"If he can"t do such a simple thing, he should just quit being my apprentice." Old Fammet grunted.
"You let him scold you this much?" Lynn queried.
"Hey, at least this insult is better than when I was really an apprentice with him. Being able to tolerate his insults and jabs was a prerequisite." Nie said as he told the Mechanoids to a.s.sist the Grey Bear Squad to carry the goods more delicately.
"I do not need talented whiners." Old Fammet said as he told Nie to grab the metal parts of the monsters first since he is going to warm up the forge which he cooled initially.
eαglesnovel`c,om "Can I ask for your help, Grey Bear Squad? While I may have these Mechanoids with me, I would still need a.s.sistance from stronger Mechanoids to break apart those items."
"But …they are Diamondz Ranger type Mechanoids. They are supposed st.u.r.dier than me." Diaz remarked.
"Last I remember, those Rangers could not even clear the Variant Dungeons." Nie retorted.
"That was many years ago, these Rangers should have higher tech specifications." Diaz said but Page shook her head.
"They are indeed the old models. I am guessing that is why you are able to override these models and not the entire platoon, right?" Page queried and Nie nodded his head with a bit of "Oops, I guess you caught me."
"You should say it"s already a miracle he is able to remember how to override them." Tellie said," Considering how humans have the tendency to lose their craft and edge if they did not practice them."
"Ermm... Thanks? But shall we get to it?" Nie asked and everyone chipped in to dissect the monsters they got. When one thought of the boss to be the Praying Mantis, they would believe its minions would also be insectoid like.
However, it was not the case and they were more like mutated dogs who have overly built muscles and a jaw as scary as the Mantis" Mandible. But even though they looked like dogs, Nie stated that their meat was a delicacy to people and they were sold for a high price.
As the Mecha Smith Apprentice taught them where to slice and break the minions, Jin asked a casual question where Nie learnt all of this. His only reply was that one had to be multi talented to be part of Old Fammet"s team. Even though they were t.i.tled with Mecha Smiths, Old Fammet did not exactly recruit existing Mecha Smiths.
He said that most of such Smiths already had a biased toward their craft and it was rather more convenient to recruit people from other professions since he did say that his craft could be learnt with time and hard work.
"The only thing he did not say was how much time and hard work we had to put in. He had to make 24 hours feel like 48 hours or sometimes a week, considering the amount of training we had to go through. And since we had to do customised stuff, harvesting parts from monsters is also part of our skillsets"
"I feel you… I really do feel you." Jin said as he reminisced the days when his time had been dilated and his sleep time was compressed so he was able to do more in one day.
Unlike the days he had in the Tree Mall, this life was comparatively like a vacation.
