Chapter 270: Chapter 270: A New Term
Han Dong, having passed the elite training with excellent results, had no need to participate in the end-of-term assessment by the end of his freshman year.
Vacation arrived.
Han Dong still found the time to go home and check on the situation with his sister Nina and their mother.
Because of Han Dong.
Nina has received better treatment in the mechanical workshop. Having talked to Koslin, Nina has now been transferred to a more advanced mechanical workshop as an intern. Once she can pass the Novice Space, she will immediately become a formal Mechanic Apprentice.
Nina plans to wait another six months, until she has finished making a set of concealed exoskeleton armor, before going to the Novice Space.
Han Dong’s life is somewhat monotonous in contrast.
If he is not researching the interaction mechanism between the G virus and fungi in the mushroom laboratory in the Old Sewers, he is reading and studying eye books in the secret room of the Stargazing Room.
It is necessary to explain the situation with studying the eye book.
During the training period.
Han Dong, with the help of the absorption function of the tentacles, has drawn a sufficient amount of ‘energy from outside the city’ from the bodies of the major cadres of Stuart.
However,
Completing the ‘Little Demon Eye’ was more difficult than imagined.
Han Dong spent a full three months during the summer vacation to thoroughly complete the study of ‘Volume One – Life Eye Scroll’.
The ‘Little Demon Eye’ can now fully execute all the basic functions described in the first volume.
The most important point.
Han Dong can finally normally read the second volume of the eye book.
Compared to the Life Eye Scroll that mentions everything and focuses on basic learning.
The second volume is a real chapter that can give the little demon eye ‘real powers’.
[Volume Two – Pupil Imprint Scroll]
Just the title alone attracted Han Dong, who immediately lost himself in reading.
However… the situation was a bit abnormal.
After just fifteen minutes.
The sharp pain flashing in the eyes and a drop of blood falling onto the eye book from his face.
Pulled Han Dong out of his immersed state.
The entire Little Demon Eye was filled with bloodshot veins, even oozing blood… and his visual ability was greatly weakened.
This kind of situation scared Han Dong greatly, so he immediately closed his eyes and asked Mr. Black White… The result he got was that he had overworked his eyes and needed a good few days of rest.
The reason is simple.
The difficulty of watching each volume of the eye book is increasing.
Reading advanced texts that have innate seals placed on them puts a huge load on the eyes.
As a result, Han Dong could not read for more than ten minutes a day … the rest of the time he needed to comprehend the content he read in those ten minutes on his own.
The knowledge concept expounded by ‘Pupil Imprint Scroll’ gave Han Dong the feeling of touching a whole new field.
However, the basic requirements to practice this volume far exceeded those of ‘Life Eye Scroll’.
The basic requirements are as follows:
1.A large amount of essential energy from life outside the city (especially eye essence)
2. The individual’s brain domain level
(It requires the seed in Han Dong’s brain to fully sprout, which can provide a steady stream of energy. The Faceless Skull also needs to be upgraded to LV.3 to generate and control the Pupil Imprint.)
Once the Pupil Imprint is accomplished.
According to the description in the book, Han Dong can make lower life forms disintegrate with a single stare.
In that case.
Han Dong had to put the ‘Little Demon Eye’ advancement, Skull upgrade, Breaking the Breed, and adding weight all together.
His growth path is much more diverse than the average Apprentice Knight but also requires more effort and price.
Stronger demon eyes, more limbs, more containment objects, and mystic talent tree.
The thought of this drove Han Dong to try to reduce his sleep hours as much as possible, channeling all his energy into his studies.
Of course.
Apart from studying.
With Mr. Black White’s assistance, the ‘supply channel’ was successfully established.
Profit was not feasible in the initial stages.
The experimental area still required substantial resources and time for reconstruction.
Han Dong used all his 1500 copper coins awarded from the intensive training for the purchase of basic supplies.
The brand-new laboratory was slowly being perfected according to the blueprint drafted by the doctor.
Last, but not least, the matter concerning Mia had to be addressed.
Mia, being naturally opportunistic, would pester Han Dong whenever possible, during which she made seven different ‘requests’… all of which were rejected by Han Dong on grounds of infringement on his personal interests.
However, Mia was not content to have her ‘request’ written off by just spending one night with him.
So, till now, she hadn’t been able to make her request…
The summer vacation had passed.
The ‘newbie’ tag attached to Han Dong had been taken off.
He was now a sophomore in the Mysterious Institute.
The cooldown period for acquiring ‘Fate Points’ would end in another month’s time.
‘Clown’s Resurrection (Inside Story)’
It could only be selected after ‘Breaking the breed’ and becoming a Formal Knight.
Therefore, the Fate Space that Han Dong was about to face was completely unknown.
All he knew was he had to meet Mr. Black White’s demand, with the difficulty level having to be at least four-star (Seed Period) or higher.
Before he entered, Han Dong needed to be fully prepared.
Therefore,
During his free time, Han Dong made a trip to the mechanic department.
Walking amidst various rotating gear machines, he arrived at the forge area deep within the department.
The existence of the forge area was somewhat special. Even mechanic apprentices were forbidden entry, only those with outstandinbg talents, natural born blacksmith talents and who had received a pass were granted entry privileges.
The full name of the forge area was the [Underground Furnace Bastion].
Much like the ‘Dead Water Marsh’ in the Mysterious Department, the existence of the [Underground Furnace Bastion] held even greater significance, involving the entire Holy City’s arms production and the leading edge of blacksmith technology.
Miss Winry’s master was in charge of managing this area.
Even though he was just a nominal professor within the mechanic department, his actual reputation was on par or even surpassing that of the department head… Very few people have actually seen this old blacksmith.
Han Dong being able to visit the Underground Furnace Bastion was, of course, because he had made an appointment with someone.
“Deputy leader!!”
After several months of not seeing each other.
Winry hadn’t changed at all… the wheat-colored skin and the distinctive muscle lines, wearing only a black vest that had been completely soaked with sweat.
She tied her hair in a fiery-red ponytail, her face radiating an extremely rare innocence in this apocalyptic world.
“Winry, it’s been a while.”
Han Dong actively approach Winry, mainly was for two reasons.
The first was regarding forging; Han Dong had some excellent materials in his hands, all obtained from outside the city. He wanted to see if Winry could craft these for him into a suitable piece of equipment.
A ‘Big Carrion Ghoul’s Claw’ which he had pulled off the Great Lord alive, and a ‘Black Feather’ imbued with the magic power of crows, plucked from a Crowman Elder himself.
“The materials are nice… What is it that the deputy leader wants to forge?”
“Lightweight body armor.”
Although Han Dong had the G virus enhancement, it mostly focused on his right arm… his body’s regenerative ability was only one-tenth of that of his right arm; recovery from severe injuries was impossible.
Han Dong couldn’t ensure that every battle would leave him unscathed, hence high-quality and comfortable armor was necessary.
“Alright… Deputy leader, come with me, let’s discuss the specifics in the blacksmith’s workshop.”
