Chapter 1735 Three Winged Angel Dungeon -Part 3
"Huh? What are you talking about? You are not getting upgrades." Old Flammet said so bluntly to Jin that it crushed all his hopes.
"Why?" Jin was so speechless he could not spit out any more words from his mouth.
"Because those upgrades that they asked for are not available in this current dungeon. Even the variant pathways do not have it and I had made people explore all of them. As ironic as this sounds. The only way to get them is at the Three Winged Angel Dungeon. The one you are supposed to go to."
"Huh? Then why would I want to upgrade when I am gonna go in there?" Jin asked and Old Flammet shrugged his shoulders so hard, it kicked away dust and sweat from his work s.h.i.+rt.
"How would I know? The most I can give them is a new customised hardware package and probably replace their arms and limbs with a better fibre muscle strand. It would take some time to work but I can get it done in two days time since I have your Mechanoids to aid me as well."
"Then what am I supposed to do?"
"Well, if you really want, you can try your luck finding all these materials below my dungeon. Otherwise, you can search for alternatives which I had already written right beside them." Old Flammet said as he tore a few pieces of paper and showed it to Jin. The list was long. Real long.
"By myself? Even if I find them, I cannot store all of them with me!"
"Stupid, there are mechanoid porters that can do that and can return once you cleared the way for them. I have a few already waiting at the dungeon gate. Also, I am not planning to upgrade Lynn, she is already akin to my masterpiece so you can take her along with you. Now get out of here. I am going to upgrade Yinn first." Old Flammet finished his ramblings and Jin nearly got kicked out of the workshop by him.
"Heh. If people were to know that you treated the infamous Interim Leader of Daimon like this, your reputation would soar even higher, Master Flammet." Yinn said as she removed her gear.
"That guy is tough enough to take my grumbles. Or else, he won"t have such a capable squad under him. Yinn, since you are a manipulator cla.s.s, I have a set of chameleon monster muscle strains with me. They should be able to let you hide temporarily if needed. Or do you wish to take the standard metal orge muscle strands instead? The Diamondz Corp sent quite a few to me."
"Do you have the Variant Metal Ogre? The one that held twin swords?" Yinn asked and Old Flammet did not know such a variant existed. "Then I shall take the chameleon monster strand. Not that it will help during a ma.s.s fight but should be good for infiltration prior to the fight."
"Alright. Then the rest of the girls, please help. Lynn, my dear. I apologise that you have to aid that rascal with some fetching ch.o.r.es." Old Flammet apologised.
"Nah, don"t worry about it. I am thankful for what you did Master Flammet. To be able to walk in this so comfortably was something I never expected. In fact, when I returned to my old world, I might miss the convenience of having a mechanical body." Lynn waved to the rest but before she left,? Old Flammet reminded her to take the items at the cabinet.
"This?" She questioned and found a set of gloves and boots.
"I made them as a set. Each of them has a miniature kinetic reactor in them and I made sure they were encased in one of the hardest metals I could find. Not to mention, its cross layered so they should not break but it"s a little ugly and a tad uncomfortable since it has a budge for the gloves."
"They fit okay, it looks like I covered my wrist with some small buckler,"? Lynn said as she tried to do some punching moves. Thank you, Master! Will repay you back someday!"
"Alright, now that she is gone, let"s start with the replacements. Please turn on your pain receptors but to the minimum level as I am also making sure that the connections are okay."? Flammet stated and the rest of the squad started to help even though all they were doing was fetching things from the workshop or s.h.i.+ning a bright light at where Old Flammet wanted it to be.
As for Jin, he was reading the list and found there were quite a lot of parts that seemed special and the monster names for most of the parts did not make any sense to him at all. It was not until Syn popped by and saw the list with him.
"That"s one heck of a list. Do you want me to sp.a.w.n a creature that takes up a bunch of them together?"
"You can do that? Oh wait. Right. You are the administration, of course, you can do that… but why would you want to do that? And why would you want to help?"
"After hearing your discussion with the Grey Bears, the AI Administration was pumping with excitement. It seems like you understood the importance of the Dungeon King and for you to link all those options together makes the AI Administration want to be part of it as well even though it is legally unable to do so."
"Then I don"t get it. How are you able to help?"
"We might not be able to provide you the materials, but we can present you the challenge to get the materials… If you get what I mean. This way, the AI Administration is posing you a challenge and thus not interfering with the oath that we made. At the same time, we are indirectly part of this grand scheme that you have created too."
"If that"s the case… Then I would like a monster that completes the upgrade list for Yinn. If Old Flammet is performing her enhancement to the body, it"s best I complete this as soon as possible and give Yinn the parts needed." Jin said and Syn agreed to it readily.
