Getting Equipped

Na Ling was walking home after school like normal, except she wasn’t with Chao Zai.

It’s not like she had romantic feelings for him it’s because their houses are in the same direction and would normally talk with him.

Na Ling belongs to a prominent family on planet Uno and is one of the best students in their school. Blessed with good looks, good grades and strength.

“I wonder what he’s been doing recently?” She thinks while looking at the setting sun.

Unaware to her that Chao Zai quickly ran to the forest as soon as school ended.

At this point Chao Zai has much more experience after hunting gene beasts for the past few days.

After giving up on getting any more EP from scquirels he started locking for other prey.

He found another grade one beast called the spiked armadillo.

It has a tough exterior with sharp spiked on the outside.

When he first found it he had some trouble as his stick couldn’t hurt it.

After dodging its attacks for a while Chao Zai’s |Dash| was about to run out so he quickly picked up a rock and started bashing the exterior without hitting the spikes.

After a few minutes of this process he finally got the announcement in his mind.

[You have killed the grade one gene beast spiked armidillo]

[Use |Steal| Yes/No]

Confidently saying “Yes” sat down to regain his stamina and listen to the voice in his head.

[Gained gene of grade on spiked armadillo |Hard skin| and 6 EP]

After checking his status and seeing that he now had |Hard skin| which allows him to harden a part of his skin just by thinking about it and another 6 EP meaning he now has 69 EP in total.

He decided to test his current defence by punching a tree bare fisted.

After punching a few times his skin was barely cut meaning it was at least as hard as stone.

Using 10 EP to upgrade |Hard skin| from a grade 1 gene to a grade 2 gene he now had 59 EP remaining.

After upgrading |Hard skin| it now became as strong as a metal beinging resistant to cheap knifes and swords.

[Do you want to fusion gene |Dash| and gene |Hard skin| to make new gene |Defensive dash|]

Confused at first he quickly checks out what |Defensive dash| does.

|Defensive dash|: when you harden your skin you get boosted reflex’s and speed. By hardening the legs you can boost movement speed.

Thinking it is good he quickly says “yes”. Checking his status again.

Happy with his status he quickly gets ready to continue hunting.

After only finding three more spiked armadillos he returned with 78 EP points.

The next day during school he was sleeping during the beginning and getting used to quickly hardening parts of his body.

Although he is still a bit slow he!thinks he can hold his own in a fight.

After reviewing his efficiency durinf hunting the day before Chao Zai remembered the main issue was that he couldn’t break through the armadillos defense unless he used a rock to smash it or used his only genetic technique “Militarty fist” which was quite tiring to repetitively use.

Knowing he needs more genetic techniques but not sure Oe to get them as they are too expensive.

Chao Zai wanting to stay discreet and not show his power unless he had to.

He decided to go to the Universal Employment Centre so he could take missions for people while using an alias.

When he arrived at the Universal Employment Centre there was an open hall a white wallpaper interior giving it a clean feeling. Quickly putting on a mask that he bought for a few bronze coins he enters the hall.

After entering and looking around for a moment a short woman who had the receptionist uniform on asked Chao Zai

“Are you here to post a mission?” She said while guiding him to her desk.

“No, I want to register for a Universal watch.” Chao Zai says while trying to keep his voice as low as possible.

Universal watches are like ID’s for the universal employment centre. You can take missions automatically from it.

After hearing him say this the receptionist stared at him again.

Seeing how young he looked and how his body was relativity small she guessed he was posting a mission.

“Are you sure, you could get injured or worst killed.” She’s seen lots of people who overestimate their strength and try to take on missions missions too hard for them and never come back.

“I’m sure.” Chao Zai says with a voice full of resolve.

Knowing there’s no way she scan get him to Change his mind she gives in. Handing him a tablet she says “fill in your name, birth etc.(you know what I mean)

After handing the receptionist the tablet with filled in answers she nods and gives him a Universal watch.

“Theif, huh interesting name.”

The receptionist thinks while watching Chao Zai.

As Chao Zai was walking away he looking at his watch to find a good mission he saw a cloak out of the corner of his eyes.

Interested, Chao Zai walls towards the stall and sees the a black cloak that has a hood. Thinking it will be good with his mask he buys it for even less that’s the mask.

Looking at his digital wallet and seeing 1 silver and 42 bronze coins he starts thinking if he needs any thing else.

After thinking he realizes he is only missing a weapon. He was originally going to try get a genetic weapon.

Even after hunting for several days he hasn’t got a single one so gave up on that and decided to go buy one instead.

After walking for a few minutes he finally found a small shop with a sign saying weapons with a picture of two swords.

When he entered he was greeted by a middle aged man was sitting on a seat behind the cashier.

Asking the middle aged man what he could buy for the amount of money he has with him. The middle aged man takes out two daggers, a small wooden shield with clippings on the edges and a rusted sword.

Giving up on the shield and sword he looks at the two daggers. One was a few inches longer than the other one but in worse condition.

The shorter dagger had strange carvings on the handle and blade and a more comfortable grip.

Chao Zai chooses the shorter one and still has enough money to buy a pair of black gloves so he doesn hurt his hands while gripping the blade.

Realizing it’s nearly dinner time he hurry’s home and greets his sister and mother.
