Chapter 28

[Well done, here is your reward: 'Extra small personal spacial storage ring' blueprint.]

"What is it ?"

[Just as it's name implies, it is the blueprint of a ring that allows you to store things inside a small dimension accessible only to you, although after evolving to grade two you won't have any use for it as you have the inventory it's still great to .]

Sam felt like he should be chocked by something like this but he had sort of gotten used to Mechy giving him such impossible things one after another so he decided to look at the blueprint, it was definitely a great business opportunity !

< Extra small personal spacial storage ring:

A ring that gives you access to a 3 cubic meter dimensional storage, this ring isn't evolved enough to store living creatures.

Ingredients:

Gold : 3 grams

Black iron : 1 gram

Beast core : grade 2. >

"Alright if I am allowed to go to Tunger moon I'll look for a grade two beast, the other ingredients are extremely common so I'll be able to make the ring in no time."

Sam smiled at how easy it was, such an item never existed in this world so Sam was certain if he started making them and selling them he would make a fortune in no time, finally Sam decided he would think about it after becoming a little stronger.

He looked at the leather inner armor lying on the table in front of himself, it looked inconspicuous and extremely light. Sam sized it up and put it on, he put on the boots at the same time and opened his status page.

< Equipment:

- Midnight knife ( Forged from the bones and the core energy of a midnight cat, this knife gained the ability to confuse the perception of the target ; ATK +6 / SPE + 3 )

- Midnight combat boots ( SPE + 4 )

- Midnight leather shirt ( DEF + 4 )

Midnight set : 3/5 pieces ( All stats + 1 ) >

Although the two last items he created didn't have any additional ability their value was still sky high ! Sam still remembered how a single point in his defense had made the difference in his fight against the big pack of Jade Apes, he had taken a hit from a thrown rock straight into his spine but except pain he was completely fine, that was the difference made by a single point in defense.

Just wearing the three items Sam felt his body became lighter and stronger, he jumped on the spot but he couldn't control his jump and landed on his but.

[You're not used to the change, you need a bit of training.]

Sam's vision went dark and he appeared in the dream world, of course he understood what was going to happen. He smiled wryly and readied himself.

That night Sam and Mechy spent 50 hours in the dream world getting him used to the change brought by the items, he also trained without them because he didn't want to rely too much on external items, he wouldn't be able to wear them during the Olympics after all.

As he woke up, Sam went home to shower and grab a clean set of clothes and left for the camp, he had his items in a backpack and was ready to ask for an opportunity to train on Tunger moon but as he walked in the camp he realized it was weirdly bustling compared to the last few times he was here.

He walked in and looked curiously at all the people running left and right, giving and accomplishing orders at a very high speed and wondered why was happening. Soon he walked to the office of the General and realized it was even worse inside, the General had a total of 4 assistants and all of them were answering phone call after phone call while apologizing.

'Maybe now isn't the right time to bother the General...?'

Sam thought but still decided to knock, he was ordered to come back here as soon as he was healed so he knocked on the door without anymore questions.

"Come in."

A cold voice sounded, Sam recognized the general's voice but it had a different feel to it today, the usual old man was like a kind grandpa while today he finally had the vibe of a real General, Sam walked in and stood straight up in a salute position, he was reminded of the many legends he had heard about this man when seeing him acting like he should.

"Sergeant Sam, you must be confused about what's happening."

Sam looked at the 8 people in the room one by one and then nodded, each one of them emitted the feeling of a strong man and woman, they were probably all higher ups in the military as in this place strength decided of your rank, it was very straightforward and incited people to get stronger faster.

The general nodded and said:

"Major Dean please explain to him what's happening."

Major Dean who Sam has already seen once nodded and said:

"While we were busy taking care of some stuff recently the neighboring planet of Polae launched a sneak attack on Moryl, they sent a scouting team who set up a teleportation station close to one of our southern cities, then they teleported a large number of soldiers and took control of the city. They now have 32 million Moryl citizens as hostages and are launching attacks on more neighboring cities, we are going to strike back and we need every single soldier available to us, you'll be dispatched with a special squad made of 5 people and your mission will be to find the teleport station and destroy it. There will be a total of 100 teams with the same mission."

Sam had of course joined the army knowing that this moment will probably arrive one day, he decided he would let the general know about his decision about the sergeant promotion later as it wasn't really the perfect timing so he saluted and asked:

"Can I request someone in particular to be in my team ?"

Sam wanted Edward with him, he was the only person in the whole universe he would entrust his life to and he also didn't want him to be in the middle of the battlefield where he could die at every single moment, he believed going with him was safer.

"Edward has already been assigned to your team."

The general smiled, he already knew their brother like relationship and so he did this small favor to Sam.

Sam smiled back, saluted and excused himself, he needed to get ready and to meet his other teammates.
