Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain's POV-Chapter 150: Evolution Tank!
Lucian sighed in relief. The system was old so, its security level wasn't updated yet and very low. If not, it would have read the life signs or heat signature of the old man.
As long as there was any evidence stating the death of the old man, the system would automatically self destruct if there wasn't any code installed to hand over the command or control to someone else.
Tapping in the option 'Yes' the automated voice spoke out again.
"Accepted. Please place in your imprint to gain control over the facility." smiling broadly, Lucian placed his imprint and soon, it was scanned as the robotic voice spoke out once more.
"Control had been transferred. Welcome Lucian and good day. You can check through your interface to see what this facility has to offer. My name is Hazel."
"Hazel, search through the entire facility and tell me the inventory of stuff's here."
"Okay Lucian, scanning now!" Hazel's robotic voice sounded out.
"Scanning complete.. There are Five Evolution Tanks that are in the basement, 12 rare jewels, 15 serums of 4 different kinds and a stockpike amount of relic gold. which is estimated to be a total of 253,504,000 relic gold."
When he first heard the first words Hazel had said, he was slightly astonished. But as the words got to the ending part, he was stunned speechless.
That was a whole 253,504,000
Relic golds.
253,504,000 Relic golds Relic golds is no small amount of money to Lucian or any student of the institute at that.
"A-are you sure about this Hazel?" Lucian stuttered. Still finding this luck hard to believe.
"No, I'm not." Hazel's robotic voice said but Lucian could have sworn it had a hint of sarcasm hidden within.
Confused and a bit disappointed, Lucian asked "What do you mean by that?"
"Sigh, do you not think your previous question was a stupid one? If I wasn't accurate about the calculations I make, I wouldn't be an AI would I?"
Blinking his eyes his face expressionless, Lucian replied after a while. "I've heard about people having their AI grasping and imitating the personality of their hosts.
Now I know you were imitated by a bad person." Lucian replied.
"Whatever floats your boat." Hazel dismissed.
Squinting his eyes, it seems it would take quite the while for both of them to get on even grounds. An AI with an attitude? It would surely be a disaster if this continues.
"So you mean to say, there truly is more than 200,000,000 Relic golds in here."
Lucian asked again.
"I obviously won't repeat myself for te second time." Not minding the attitude he had been shown.
His heart pounded rapidly in his chest as he hurriedly told Hazel. "Tr-transfer the points to my account."
Lucian struggled to say as he swallowed hard. He wouldn't believe it until he sees it with his own two eyes.
"The transfer has been made, you can check it out now." Hazel said.
Breathing out softly, trying hard to maintain his impulses, he slowly tapped on to his interface, to the status section of his page.
Relic golds : 300,200,195.
Lucian's mouth dropped instantly. It was true, it really was true.
In the institute, Lucian understood the concept of Relic golds. As long as one had enough Relic golds, one could own anything.
If one couldn't get it using te legal means, the Black Market obviously existed for such a reason.
Lucian could also guess that such is the situation in the outside world. Although he hadn't gone there, he could guess and he was sure it was absolutely right.
Quickly closing his interface, he looked around him, to make sure he was truly alone. When he was sure, he opened up his holographic image to make sure he was truly not hallucinating.
But the amount written on his account told him all that he needed to know.
"Hahahahaha!" Lucian burst into a sudden and almost crazed laughter. It was 200,000,000 Relic golds. It was worth it even if he goes mad for a bit.
Calming his emotions, he still needed to recover from his injuries.
There was truly no need for a full body scan for Lucian to know he was in a truly bad shape.
After a while, Lucian spoke up. "Hazel, lead me to the place where the Evolution Tanks are being kept."
"Sure. Just tap at the right top edge of the office desk three time with a sequence of three second, two second and five seconds respectively, it should reveal the basement." Hazel explained.
"Uhn?"
It took Lucian quite a while for him to figure it out, walking towards the desk, on the edge that had the virtual number hidden within, here was also a button of some sort.
Lucian had tapped on the button repeatedly previously but it didn't seem to have any effect, that was the reason he had skipped.
But who would have known that it really had its own function.
His first tap on the button lasted three seconds.
His second tap lasted only two. While his last tap on the button was quite longer, lasting a total of fie seconds.
A few mechanical sounds later, It was like a gate of some kind had opened as the desk instantly flipped over, revealing a platform of some kind with a handle on it.
This somehow reminded him of the elevator that was in the institute.
Stepping on the platform.
The table trembled softly and with the groaning of metal gears, he was instantly transported to the basement.
After a few seconds, Lucian was standing in a room that only contained five tanks, a table, a box and its temperature was a little below 0° degrees celsius.
Lucian let out a mouthful of breath which seem to have frozen in mid air in a blink of an eye.
His muscles spasmed slightly a bit to get rid of the cold air that was managing to penetrate his body defenses.
"Hazel, can you increase the temperature to uhm, back to room temperature I think?"
Lucian said, somewhat unsure.
"That is quite possible but the controls in this facility is all messed up, it would take a while for the temperature in the storage room to settle to an acceptable level."
Lucian frowned slightly at Hazel's reply.
"Can you make it go any faster?"
"I would be happy to give you the opportunity to do it yourself if you would like." Hazel slammed him.
Lucian's eyes spammed rapidly. How can am AI be this rude?
Throwing that to the back of his mind, he focused his attention at the tanks that was presently right in front of him.
He was familiar with three of the tanks as he had read about them. It was tanks like this that those scorns from great fillies use to increase their strength, physique and agility.
And not only were their one here but actually five tanks!
There also wasn't any Cryogenic Pod to put him to a deep sleep and eject his body into the Evolution Tank.
It was slightly disappointing as that was the way to use an Evolution Tank more effectively.
The remaining two tanks had a different color within. One was deep red and Lucian was sure it was blood. But it is currently in its frozen state.
The other tank was a little special though. This one was deep brown in color and a bit transparent too. The tank used in holding the evolution fluid was also also very special as it seems to be more thicker than the other tanks.
This immediately drew in Lucian's attention.
"Hazel, is that what I think it is?" Lucian asked, a little unsure.
"I don't think our IQ are on the same level to think alike but yes, it's a rank 2 grade Evolution Tank."
Hazel replied with sarcasm at first but she knew the situation was a serious, so she confirmed his guess.
Suu!
Lucian inhaled sharply, rank 2 grade Evolution Tanks is only one level higher than the normal and ordinary Evolution Tank.
But the energies both contained was vastly different. They are on completely two different levels.
It was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Those below rank one and those even at rank one don't even get the opportunity to glance upon a rank 2 grade Evolution Tank as it was specifically only meant for rank 3 and maybe some rank 2 would have a slim chance at absorbing the energy within as they had the ability to direct the massive amount of energies straight to their genes.
"Uhn, but the colour seem to have faded by quite a lot." Lucian muttered.
"I should be able to handle it considering the fact that the medicinal efficacy has reduced due to the passage of time." Lucian though Aloud.
But Lucian could have sworn he heard a snort in the background from the ai, but he immediately dismissed it.
The color of the fluid within the tank seem to have lost almost 10% of its original appearance. It was the same with the ordinary Evolution Tank and their situation seem to be more severe as the colors were almost completely faded.
