933 Siege 1 (2/2)

”It's alright, you go get busy.” Garen knew he was now penniless, to be actually served by someone even just for a bit was not bad already.

”Sea Sand!” The voice urged again.

Sea Sand gave a small bow towards Garen before quickly dashing back into the store.

Her friendly service left a good impression with Garen.

He turned around in the store, once again approaching the counter by the door and discovered Mila Cells there.

'Mila Cells: The fundamental cell needed in building an Energy Machinist's Biochemical Pool. Highly corrosive, radiation resistant, Level Five hardness, with automatic repairing function. Priced at 4,999 Crystals.'

The small pellets of Mila Cells seemed like a blob of grey brain mass, still slightly squirming. It looked disgusting.

However, Garen knew that if it is provided with sufficient nutrients and organic matter, a pool-sized mold of a Biochemical Pool would be able to form within just a matter of one hour's time.

”5,000 Crystals…in order to bring out the special ability space, I'd need another 200,000 Crystals…this is definitely something not an ordinary person can afford,” Garen shook his head while he exited the shop.

He turned around to look at the shop's name: Come Again.

”This name is actually easy to remember.”

He strolled around the square when he realized that an Energy Machinist stood in front of the dolphin water fountain in the middle of the plaza, and pressed his palm on it. He could not tell what the person was doing.

He waited for the Energy Machinist to release his hand, opened his eyes and left before he followed suit. He held his hand out similarly and place his palm on the dolphin.

An icy smooth rush spread within him, and a melodious, electronic female sound rang in his head.

”Welcome to the teleport system, please select your destination.”

A sheet of translucent panel instantly bounced in front of Garen, on the surface of the panel were each delivery points.

Above the surface was simply just a model of the Mother Planet, points of lights shone like the stars indicating the choices of destination.

Garen's sight fell on one of the points and the edge of the corresponding light immediately emerged into sight with price, the name of location and specialty.

The planet was turning slowly, there were three large spots which were most attractive, looking as if the moon was surrounded by various shining, bright stars.

The first one was Polar City, located in the vast ocean.

The second one was Blue Sky, it seemed that the town itself was always moving.

The third one was Nagadako Town, which was the brightest spot among the three. At the side of the display, it was introduced as the Alliance City Center of the Mother Planet.

Garen casually looked around, the cheapest teleport point cost at least five to 600 Crystals, if he were to teleport to any of the three huge towns far away, it would cost up to 10,000!

”Everything needs money…” Garen left the dolphin and recited exit thrice in his head. All at once, he felt his surroundings glow in colors of the rainbow and he was back to the tunnel which he came from in the first place.

When the dizziness faded, he opened both eyes.

He was back within the missile compartment of the thigh unit.

Slightly moving his body, he slowly withdrew his natural Cold Radiation and started controlling the frost which was slowly spreading, accelerating the melting process.

A thick layer of ice had already formed within the internal part of the thigh unit, gradually melting rapidly as the time increased.

As time passed, Garen finally saw the opening of the frozen part melt away.

He reached out his hand to push and all of a sudden, he was sprung out of the unit as silent as a raccoon.

He was unsure about the situation outside so he got into an alert posture in the first place.

However, just seconds after exiting the thigh unit, Garen sensed something was wrong.

In the large bed beside him, a naked, slim girl was asleep comfortably. The bedroom seemed to belong to the girl, the door and windows were tightly locked.

When he sprung out, he coincidentally landed at the side of the girl's bed.

The girl's skin was fair, and seemed to glow like ivory under the moonlight. She slept like a starfish, and she did not even use a blanket. She seemed like she was muttering something while sound asleep, her long slender legs twitching occasionally, even her toes would move from time to time.

”Where is this?” Garen moved his sight away from the girl and glanced around. Walking towards the curtains, he gently lifted the curtain and looked out to see the unique architectural wasteland style that only belonged to no other than the radiation belt.

Grey, dilapidated, but strong and ferocious at the same time, just like a beast drifting off to slumber.

Just as he released the curtain, he sensed a breeze from his back. Lightly tapping with the back of his hand, Garen dodged to his side and avoided the blow from the back.

At the same time, his finger tapped on the abdomen of the person behind him.

Crack!
