Star Screamer

Lucas's engineer level was 23. If Zaron found out that Lucas had increased his levels so efficiently in a month, he would most likely commit suicide from an inferiority complex.

Although Zaron was also a high-class engineer, he mainly focused on research and not creating stuff, much like a scientist who discovers new laws rather than an engineer who implements them. His knowledge was more advanced than Lucas's, but an increment of 20+ levels was no joke.

Zaron, even after working hard for all these years, was around level 30 or so.

Lucas had finally learned all the basic concepts; his foundation was very strong. But as far as advanced knowledge was concerned, he would have to obtain special connections to get it.

Lucas had built many things in a month's time. Different types of robots, sensory gadgets, bombs, and weapons.

But there was only one he would proclaim as his best invention. He named it 'Star Screamer.' The Star Screamer was essentially a sniper rifle created by Lucas. Its specialties were its extremely high damage, adaptability, and a one-of-its-kind function: aura transfer.

The gun was, in fact, a godly weapon for assassinations. The gun was 1.7 meters long and had a capacity of just 10 bullets. It had three modes: Sure Kill, Silent Kill, and Aura Surge, named by Lucas himself.

Lucas was very proud of this weapon. The Sure Kill mode made the most sound but had the best output damage.

In Silent Kill, Lucas had utilized sound acoustics to deplete the sound by at least 90%, but this compromised the gun's power.

Aura Surge would utilize one's own energy to shoot, and hence the type of energy used to shoot would determine its effects. This implied that the effects of an activated skill could be displayed through the bullet. If it was Life Reaper, then the targeted enemy would be affected by this skill after the shot connected. This mode was not very effective for Lucas right now, but as his skills increased, the mode would become more terrifying.

Lucas had also created the adamantium suit using Zaron's blueprints and customized it to his tastes.

For semi-ranged attacks, Lucas upgraded Bang Bangs. For long range, he had the Star Screamer.

As for melee, Lucas decided to go with Reactor Blades, which were to be equipped on his forearms and would extend out whenever required.

The only thing Lucas needed right now was a mask with tremendous defense so that, even if attacked, it wouldn't break easily. This was important because Lucas, at no cost, wanted to reveal his connection to his alias and real identity.

Lucas had to spend almost half of his fortune to build this headgear, as it contained Selazinium. It was a dark black metal that would change its characteristics based on the amount of electric current flowing through it.

Lucas decided that now was the time to take action again. He stood up from his chair and sighed after taking a look at the lab's condition.

"Now that I have sharpened the axe, it's time to start cutting the tree. Hehe," there was an eerie vibe about him that harmonized perfectly with the broken down, dimly lit lab.

Lucas started walking but, engrossed in his 'to-do list,' he didn't notice a small robot crawling in front of him and stepped on it.

The robot slid under Lucas's weight... grrrrr

Thud!

"Why, you little fucking piece of shit!"

After cursing the robot, Lucas calmed down and realized that being locked in the lab had made his body a little feeble. He decided to take some rest to restore himself to peak condition. That same night, after waking up, Lucas took a shower, shaved his beard, and dressed up in a nanotech thin suit.

Lucas pressed a button hidden under the side lamp, and a cylindrical container rose from the floor.

Lucas placed his hand on the biometric screen of the container, and the opaque lid slid around it.

What awaited him was a black suit with a metallic luster and fine green neon lights running across it, giving it an exquisite finish. He started wearing the suit piece by piece. It was none other than the customized adamantium suit he had created.

Time passed by...

Lucas was now ready, wearing an entire body suit with no gaps, two thin gauntlets on his forearms, black guns at his waist, a black helmet with green lights emitting from its sides and sharp edges of its eyes, and finally, a long black coat with a standing collar covering his back, fluttering in the air around him.

Lucas was very excited as he couldn't wait to see chicks wet and enemies prostrate themselves after looking at him.

Only one word could describe his appearance: 'sick'!

Lucas then sat on his custom upgraded bike bought from a local vendor. It was painted fully black with green neon lights on the tires, head, and tail lamps. This was necessary as he couldn't imagine the repercussions of traveling on public transport with such an outfit.

His next location was the underworld's Dark Gloves Org.
