Research.

She pressed on the line and the wall opened with the middle being the black line.

The room inside look so....Beautiful.

It was a square room with a large circle in the middle and at the edge of the large circle about 5 inches were multiple tiny holes on it.

The room was filled with a soft milky white light which were soft on her eyes and the walls were a smooth clean white, as if nothing in the world could stain it.

"This place is even larger than my living room!"

Except a small room at the side, there was nothing else in the bathroom and Chima walked in.

As soon as she entered, she felt cold air all over her body, as she looked down at her body, she realised she was suddenly completely nude.

'!!!!'

She quickly moved out of bathroom and like a dream, her mauled uniform was back on.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise and as a test, put only her arm inside the vicinity of the bathroom.

The part of the uniform that was inside disappeared in a wave of small ovals.

"Whoa..."

She exclaimed in amazement, that meant she never needed to struggle into a clothing ever again!

This place might have its cons but the pros were pretty comfy.

She slowly went into the bathroom to relieve the experience over again.

Then spent about 15 minutes entering and unentering the bathroom, it felt unreal and totally awesome!

"Penetrate..Not penetrate..Penetrate..Not penetrate, he he hee!"

Chima laughed then decided to bath.

As soon as she fully entered the bathroom, the door closed behind her.

She shrugged off the uneasiness and wondered how she was going to bath as she stood on the middle of the room.

There was no water or shower or sink here as the floor and the air was cold and dry.

"Scanning for injuries."

She heard a mechanical voice say, it sounded a tad different from the one she'd been hearing all day.

She heard a twitching sound as a white light ran through her body.

"Scanning complete, multiple injuries. Requires a high quantity of gaseous mild silver protein."

Chima was surprised, "Wow, this thing cures injuries too...Ahh!"

She starting to say but then a heavy spray of a white gas painful from her left and right came at her.

It was hot and very painful and, the cuts, gnashes and large wounds started smarting terribly.

The pain was excruciating.

The room took a 180° turn and it was suddenly too hot.

On her face, her temple, her torso, her legs, everywhere hurt excruciatingly.

She tried to suppress her shout hoping it would stop soon but it only got more intense.

At the same time, water started pouring on her from above akin to a shower.

The water wasn't hot or warm or soft on the skin but cold, bitingly cold and it contrasted with the hot gas.

'This is so worse than my former world!!'

Chima practically ran out of the bathroom for her dear life.

It had seemed like it would never end but it had and as soon as it did, she dashed out like a psycho.

She swore then that she would never take a shower in there again.

One shower felt a night in the torture room. After recovering from the ordeal, she settled down and looked at the outfit she was wearing.

It was black as usual but loose to accommodate sleeping.

It was really comfy and loose.

She turned to the bathroom entrance and shivered, then looked at the floor infront of it and noticed her inventory backpack and picked it up.

It was really light.

She threw it on her bed then lied down.

She looked at the wall above her bed and pushed a particular block there, the block opened and a drawer came out.

In it were small gamer, social and console gadgets. 'Whoa.'

She picked one that held all footages of the levels that Kiran had played and that would also help with her research.

It looked like a flat black stick with no parallel sides.

There was a button at the middle of the stick, she pushed it and a holographic screen appeared beside the stick, accommodating it.

She made to pass her fingers through the screen but as the cold smooth screen stopped her fingers from going through it, she realised that the screen was solid and not just holographic.

On the black screen, there were only four icons.

What their use were for were all labelled under them.

Chima sighted two she really wanted to work with now.

One was bright blood red and was square in shape with a shining black circle at the right upper part of it and under it was labelled Replays.

The other one was a grid with small black and red circles, it was just labelled Search Engine.

Chima clicked on it, not sparing the other icons a glance.

The icon opened and saw her login info, her name was D.Kiran and her Amail¹ was cfn².******.com.

She then clicked on the search button.

Before the search engine officially opened, a page opened and in it were a long list of search restrictions, including information about the level Guardians, which penalization was going a level back in your body level and complete memory wiping.

Chima shivered, the punishment was huge, and she wondered what was about the Guardians that the Creators guarded information about them so tightly?

The restrictions were long and numbered down to 50 but Chima read them all, she did that because this was a new world and she needed to be careful and learn every single detail about it otherwise she would skip it just as she did to the numerous terms and conditions in apps from her past life.

After reading the restrictions, it seemed the only thing that was allowed to be searched was beasts, gears, history, races, food and some other stuffs.

After all that, the search page opened and she typed a question about the Armed Rainbow Armadillo.

'The Armed Rainbow Armadillo: Queen level beast.

The Armed Rainbow Armadillo as it's names applies is a small armadillo like beast, it's beautiful.

Multiple colours hard skin is not as some might think to attract mates but it's a defence and yet self-destructive body part.

Every one of its scales contains highly poisonous substance capable of blocking permanently the seven acupoints in the body.

It could be considered a biological weapon because it's body components is comprised of highly explosive materials that is only triggered by the beast itself.

The beast is highly sensitive to its surroundings and any slight disturbance may cause it to explode.

It is difficult to capture but it makes a high quality defence shield and can also be used to make an effective offence weapon when caught.

It is an effective power boost for mages and when carefully worked on can serve as an unlimited power battery for most ray gadgets.

Warning: This creature should not be captured or killed by a long or short range ray as it will cause a bomb explosion and if the creature survives it, it's worth will be greatly lowered.

Note: This creature has a bounty placed on its head and if captured should be carefully handled.

Rewards: 5,100,600 units.

Contact details: 9********* | Scizzo'

Chima heard all that and when she reached the part about the bounty and the part about the worth lowering, her mind went to how she'd shot her mech gun at it and how the system had said 'thinned Armed Rainbow Armadillo' and was woebegone.

5,100,600 units! Calculating correctly that equaled about 2.5 million in her world!

Although she came from a wealthy family, to her that was still a huge amount of money, especially now that she was in a different world.

The entire amount was almost equal to the amount of money Kiran had in her bank right now, she could use this to buy some crystals to upgrade her body level atleast.

But unfortunately, the little bomb beast was injured or thinned as the system called it. She could still sell it as it was in quite a demand but just not at the same price as it's worth had lowered drastically.

After some thought, she decided that she wouldn't sell it.

It would be her companion.

Next up she search for any information about the Conscious Ice Dagger.

'Wonder why it's called conscious, anyways,'

The information showed up quickly and she read it from top to bottom.

The information she got was curt.

It simply said that the dagger was an extremely rare weapon and there was just four of its kind also should be used with extreme care.

"Why would you kill someone with extreme care?"

Because it acts as a double edged weapon and could harm both the victim and the owner.

"K, that makes sense."

She read more information about it and realised that it wasn't at all a normal weapon.

For one, once the owner had used it on a person, no matter what, it couldn't be removed unless the victim was dead.

When she reached the part about why it was called conscious she felt a chill down her spine.

Apparently each dagger contained a lost spirit.

A spirit of an intelligent being ofcourse but now only existed for one purpose, to assuage it's hunger by feeding on others, so simply put, to exist like an animal excepting the need to multiply.

Weapons couldn't ordinarily be upgraded the way it was unless you'd just go make another one but the dagger had a conscious spirit meaning it could upgrade to unseen levels.

Chima could imagine a bright future with this weapon but couldn't help but think, would the weapon do her more good or more harm?

She checked the stats of the weapon by holding it and summoning her screen.

________________________________________

Freeze fire?!!

Chima had seen things like this in movies and she was excited, she couldn't wait to hate somebody to the extent that she wouldn't feel sorry using this weapon on them.

But there were only six levels of positions or ranks.

Summit, Advanced, Eminent, High, Average and Low.

And Void wasn't one of them, probably it was special. Either a good type of special or a bad one.

She picked up her small inventory and drew a pattern on the smooth front.

A screen opened above it and she saw a grid of everything there was inside.

There were lots of beast crystals and weapons but her eyes caught the armadillo.

She noticed that there weren't many live creatures in the inventory, only the crystals were there. Kiran definitely didn't have any use for live creatures.

She took the armadillo out of the inventory and locked it carefully.

She then looked at the small beast on her palm.

It was unconscious and It's temperature was terribly hot, it's rainbow coloured scales but not the same vibrant and colourful kind she had seen earlier, it looked faded now and dark.

Chima suddenly felt a strong pang of guilt for injuring this small, seclucive, sensitive bomb creature and she resolved to heal and take care of it no matter what.

She didn't have any way possible to heal it's wounds so she searched for it. It read:

If you have a thinned Armed Rainbow Armadillo that isn't dead yet, the most likely situation it's in now is its body turning extremely hot.

The best action would be to find some soft food and cover the beast in it.

Be extremely careful when rubbing the food on it as it might set it off.

You should leave the beast like that for a few days then to unthin it, you would need to lock it tightly in a vacuum space and pour in a solution of cyanide on it.

It would then be completely healed.

Chima hummed, the only soft 'food' she had now was the black blob of whatchamacallit.

She scooped a handful with her palm and rubbed it evenly with great care and slowness.

It seemed like a whole hour had passed when she finished.

She sighed in satisfaction then put it in a safe spot in her inventory.
