Chapter 499 Materials for the Anti-Laser Armor

But in Stronghold number 17, Jack and his group did not know that the test that they had taken simply was going to bring them a group of troublemakers. Perhaps Jack would be given the chance of using the Fly Swatting Plan (FSP) [Ref: Chap 69.]

Nevertheless, Jack had decided to focus on making sure that he completed his research on the vehicle that he was given by the system as a reward. On the other hand, Samantha did not take a long time for her to be able to restock the store.

It seemed that during the time that she was inside this stronghold, she had formed some connections. Although she did not possess a large number of star coins, it was not difficult for her to be able to get resources of a low level.

Such resources were not difficult to get. Only those that were at a high level were the ones that were controlled by the organizations inside the stronghold. So, it was going to be a little difficult to be able to acquire them.

Anyway, it was not as if Jack was in need of the high level resources at the moment. What he really wanted was to be able to acquire star coins. After that, he would be able to acquire higher level resources. It was then that his plan was going to set in.

Sylvia on the other hand had already realized that Jack did not do much. Rather, he was just focused on the store, and sometimes, he would be seen looking at the car, as if he was studying something. She could not understand why he would waste his time on a car that was not even at the level of the cars that were present within the stronghold.

Nevertheless, she made sure to continue keeping an eye on him. After all, what she really wanted was that, if there was a chance that Jack came over and he possesses information about his mother, then, perhaps he could give her a clue on where to find her. n)(0veLB1n

On the first day after the restocking of the store, the sales were not that much. Although it was a little higher than the previous day, but still, they only earned 7,680 star coins.

With the multiplier effect, Jack was able to get 768,000 star coins. Previously, Samantha had spent the entire 460,000 star coins that Jack had given her. That was the decision that Jack had made, ensuring that she spent every penny that he had given a in order to restock the store.

Currently, Jack's balance was 761,650 star coins. As for the rest, the money that was earned within the store, all of that was kept by Celine. With his balance already closing in on the seven digit, Jack had decided that it was better if he tried to get the resources that were required in order to be able to forge the armor that he had been given the blueprint.

"Samantha, do you perhaps know where we can get a person who can forge an armor for us?" Jack asked in the evening after the store was closed.

Samantha was a little surprised. She was wondering why Jack wanted to forge the armor, rather than just purchasing one that was already made. But, she thought that, he was a superhuman, and inside this stronghold, there was definitely no armor was capable of matching him.

Even the armor that Phoebe and Sylvia possessed was something that was produced in the stronghold that was at a high level as compared to stronghold number 17. Currently, there was no expert that was capable of creating an armor that was capable of being used by a superhuman.

"Yes. There is a group of people that possess the skills of making the armor. It is just that, with their current level of skills, I am afraid that they are not capable of making an armor that is of your level." Samantha responded.

Jack thought about it and found that what she had said was reasonable. But, he believed that since the armor that he was supposed to make using the blueprint that he was given by the system required resources that were considered as useless within the stronghold domain, then, there was no way that it was going to be capable of being used by a superhuman.

His Intention was to try out the armor. And at the same time, he was wondering if it was possible to be able to mass produce the armor, something that was going to be placed within the store for sale.

"There's no need for you to worry that much about that. Just take me to that person tomorrow. And perhaps, you can help me in seeing if these materials can be found within the stronghold." Jack stated before handing over the list that he had already written to Samantha.

Of course, he was not afraid that Samantha was going to betray him. Anyway, it was not like Samantha knew that these materials were going to be used to forge an armor. And even if she knew, she did not have the blueprint of the armor.

And other than that, currently, she was under a contract, something that was preventing her from betraying Jack. If she attempted to do that, she was going to die even before she managed to do it.

"Okay." Samantha said as she looked at the materials in the list. She was a little surprised when she found that the materials inside the list were actually very common. Additionally, they were mostly considered useless, and even sometimes ignored.

In reality, it was not that they were that useless. It was just that, there were some materials that were at a higher level than them, so, most of the people liked to using the ones that were at the high level.

"The materials here are very cheap. Reflection crystal, metallic glass, steel sand ore, absorption fluid...All of these are low level materials. If I calculate the total cost, it should only cost about 300 star coins." Samantha stated after looking at the list.

When Jack heard the price of the items, he could not help but get stunned. After all, according to the system, that was at list containing the materials that were going to be used in order to make an anti-laser armor. So, how come it was so cheap?

After all, even to purchase the building that they were currently in, they had to spend more than that! Additionally, even in the store, some of the things that were considered useless to them were actually expensive.

Jack could not help but feel a little disappointment within his heart. It turned out that the anti-laser armor that he was supposed to create after entering the stronghold domain was actually this useless?

For a moment, Jack had the impulse to cancel the matter. But, in the end, he simply shook his head and said, "Just help me finding those materials. After that, tomorrow the first thing in the morning, we are going to look for the person who is capable of making that armor."

Samantha nodded. She knew that Jack possessed some incredible abilities, and, she herself had never seen these materials being used to make an armor. Even though Jack had not stated that these materials were going to be used to make an armor, but, since he wanted her to get the materials first, then, there had to be some relationship of the materials to the armor.

Samantha left, going to do the purchases. The stronghold domain was somewhere that business was run 24/7. Although she could have purchased the materials using her communication device, just like how the normal online shopping was done, but, she decided to do this personally.

Although the business within the stronghold was done from morning to morning, it was just that, Jack was not ready to let the group do the same thing. It was not as if they were going to run the store for life.

That was something that they were just using to be able to get the income. Of course, had it not been that Jack possessed the hundred times income multiplier system, then, he would not have hesitated to use one of the 99 puppets that he had received from the system in order to be able to make them to run the store.

Of course, he could have used them right now, but, he had already realized that there was someone that was keeping an eye on them. Although he did not care about them, he was not willing to reveal everything about him. After all, they were in a new domain, and he had not yet gained a foothold.

So, although he was not sure if these 99 puppets could be improved, but, he hoped that he could get something from the system that was going to enable the 99 puppets to continue existing even after the one year period who was over.

...

The following day, Samantha led the group towards a certain part of the stronghold. It was the western side of the stronghold. And as they were on the way, Samantha began explaining.

"The Western part of the stronghold is where the majority of the organizations' businesses are found. There, it is not difficult for us to be able to find a person who can make an armor." Samantha stated. She herself was quite curious about what kind of armor was going to be made from the materials that she had purchased the previous day.

The car did not take a long time for it to be able to arrive in the Western part of the city. And, this time, Samantha had decided to use the Panthers organizations' shop for making equipment. She could have used the one that belonged to the Butterfly organization, but, since she had defected, she was sure that there was some resentment from the people from the Butterfly organization towards her.

"Welcome to our equipment shop. Here, we provide readily available equipment, and at the same time, we can also make customized equipment. So, which service would you like?" A middle-aged lady asked the group with a professional smile the moment that the group arrived at the reception of the building where the factory that was used in making equipment was located.
