บท 6: Buying Skills

'Tory, Open the shop.'

[With pleasure.]

System Shop:

-Skills

-Abilities

-Weapons

-Items

-Other

Looking over the shop menu, Dino couldn't decide what he needed. So he chose the most sensible option, ask Tory.

'Tory, what do you recommend I buy?'

[I recommend host start by buying some basic skills.]

'Well, what skills would you recommend then?'

[I would recommend you purchase these skills Host:

- Hand to hand combat (Skill grade: Basic) - Price: 100 (Upgradable)

(Basic) hand to hand combat skill enables host to defend and fight against (Human)soldiers level opponents with very little difficulty. This doesn't factor in your current strength, with the addition of hosts current strength and combining it with this skill, host is able to fight (Human)Special Forces level opponents with very little difficulty.

- Killing Intent (Skill grade: intermediate) - Price: 500

(Intermediate) Killing Intent allows host to release a aura that will scare or intimidate opponents depending on their strength. Warning in some cases opponents will faint or suffocate depending on the situation.

- Body Control (Skill grade: Advanced) - Price: 1000

(Advanced) Body Control grants the host greater control over his body, so the host doesn't accidentally use too much strength and kill someone unintentionally.

- Iron Body (Skill grade: Maxed) - Price: 500 (Upgradable)

Iron body grants the host a body as hard as iron. This skill is upgradable.

I would also recommend Host to purchase these abilities:

- Inventory (Size: 1000 Cubic Meters) - Price: 10000 (Upgradable)

Inventory gives host a space to store whatever he wants (Warning Host cannot put living beings in the inventory, THEY WILL DIE, unless it is upgraded)

- All Speak (Skill grade: Maxed) - Price: 1000

All speak gives host the ability to speak and converse with any living being, no matter how the living being communicates.]

Dino looked at the skills and abilities that Tory had recommended and couldn't help but find he was agreeing with her choices but one thought kept coming to the forefront of his mind.

'Tory, from the looks of it I've got Infinity shop points to purchase whatever I want, Correct?'

[Yes host that is correct.]

'Well doesn't that mean I can buy everything then?'

[Host is right to a certain degree but also wrong. Like host said you have unlimited shop points but somethings in the shop aren't purchasable using shop points. The same also applies to some of the upgrades on some of the skills and abilities.]

'Well how do I get the things that aren't purchasable with shop points?'

[They will be given as rewards for various missions.]

'Hmm that makes sense, can't make things too easy for me.'

[Host can also use his wishes to gain the unpurchasable items, if he so wishes.]

'That's a good point, thanks Tory.'

[You are welcome host.]

'I would like to buy those skill and abilities that you suggested now Tory.'

[Are you sure you wish to purchase the following skills and abilities?

- Hand to hand combat (Skill grade: Basic) - Price: 100 (Upgradable)

- Killing Intent (Skill grade: intermediate) - Price: 500

- Body Control (Skill grade: Advanced) - Price: 1000

- Iron Body (Skill grade: Maxed) - Price: 500 (Upgradable)

- Inventory (Size: 1000 Cubic Meters) - Price: 10000 (Upgradable)

- All Speak (Skill grade: Maxed) - Price: 1000]

'Yes, purchase them.'

Dino quickly pressed confirm.

After viewing the information on his updated status page information began to flood into Dino's head. His body now felt tougher. He felt more in control. He instinctively knew how to fight in multiple different styles and a strange energy was swimming around his mind ready to be released on his enemies whenever he wished.

With his skills and abilities brought it was now time to welcome the people coming toward him.

In the lab

Seeing the specimen for the first time shock and awe filled the hearts of everyone inside of the lab. The experiment couldn't have gone any better. The Admiral and the head scientists made their way towards Dino accompanied by a bunch of soldiers and doctors.

Doctors began to check Dino's vitals, only to find him giving off strange test results.

His heart rate was too slow.

His blood pressure was so low, it was unreadable.

His brain activity off the charts.

They continued to test him until they came to the conclusion that this was normal for the specimen.

The Admiral and head scientist began to speak.

"Doc it would seem we were finally successful in creating a super soldier." A smile crept onto the Admirals face only to be mirrored by the doctor opposite him.

"It would seem we were Admiral. Now we just need to wait for him to wake." Replied the Doctor.

The Doctor quickly arranged to have Dino strapped down. Seeing this the Admiral couldn't help but frown.

"Doc is there a reason why you're strapping the specimen down?"

The Doctor answered almost instantly.

"Hmm, the reason we're strapping him down is because we don't know just how dangerous the specimen will be when he wakes up."

The Admiral nodded, recognizing the need for such precautions. After all what was lying before him was the first ever super soldier; how it would react when it woke was a mystery to them all.

While he was lost in thought a voice he had never heard before spoke. A voice with such authority, such power it caused everyone in the lab to stop what they were doing.

"Maybe I can answer that for you."

Following that declaration Dino's eyes shot open revealing the dark red and gold eyes glowing from where they had once hid, accompanied by a predatory smile.
