The Gene Gamer

Chapter 13: New Handgun

Following the dwarf they had come to their section which was named "Section B". The distance between orphanages were short considering the space ship. At most only a day was done to pick up the remaining twenty seven orphanage children.

The space ship was unbelievably huge, there must have have several entrances to enter it from outside. First they went to the Mission Hall then the Exchange Hall and the last the Training Hall. The Training Hall was a thing that was almost the same as the combat assessment test from before.

But apart from the metal humanoid dummy there were several dummies of all types and shapes. Space monsters were genetic monsters that inhabit the space. Their power varied, some can be extremely powerful while some could be very weak.

But how weak they could be, the trainees couldn't defeat it with a large group. So in these missions like hunting space monsters they would band up together to deal with it.

After introducing them to the three hall the dwarf left, leaving the group in the Training Hall. The triplet went into the mission hall and saw many missions on a screen. They had already received their point cards and it said that from now they wouldn't be able to enjoy free food anymore and would have to get the food with points.

Seeing this, it meant that without power they wouldn't have points and without it they wouldn't have food and without it they would die. The strong would plunder while the weak would die, a cruel cycle.

Just as Cylius was going through the missions he saw a suitable mission. This mission was introducing the newcomers to the three halls and their duties, he immediately chose this mission.

There was nine of these missions meaning they came the earliest. While he wanted to devour all of the missions alone, others would inevitably come and take it while he was doing one.

Its better to strengthen one's own team rather than strengthening potential enemies even though the team members could betray him, at least they would be of use for now.

And a person could at most take three missions simultaneously. Just perfect, once they introduce them others would take notice and also want to do a mission.

He notified Garen and Erick and they agreed to do the mission. This mission was quite easy as it didn't involve any dirty jobs or fighting strong creatures. It could also be done within the shortest time.

The triplet chose without hesitation, first to guide was him and when the others in the group saw the job they also came to the mission hall to do the mission.

When the others had realized the mission they wanted to argue but when they saw who had the mission they immediately ditched their idea. Even when Farold had fought for them he didn't won and now that they had one more person and the person was the fourth strongest even if Farold recruits some people to fight against them it could be said that it wasn't of use.

Well if a strong person were to help Farold, they might have a chance. But even though they were good hearted they didn't want to offend them for a reason as little as this.

The introducing mission was ten points each which was among the better paid missions. That meant thirty points were on their body. Each person had ten points at the start and now they already had a good fourty points, in the front from the start.

After completing the missions he came to the Exchange Hall where you could exchange everything with points.

When he looked at the exchange ratio, with one point you could get three meals and an E grade gene cost five points. While the D grade ten, C twenty, B fourty and E grade eighty. It doubled every time a grade was upgraded. But there were other things as well such as guns and gene weapons.

A gene weapon was a type of weapon that could boost a genetician or a gene being. It was very precious and the worst of it was already twenty points equal to an Uncommon grade gene. Right now he didn't need genes so he could try upgrading his gun.

For the lack of points it was nothing to worry about as he could plunder at any given time. Right now he would no longer need to be afraid of Farold, there would be many who was like him bullying and plundering others soon. With all that trouble even Farold would give up and adapt to the environment.

Looking at his riffle he shook his head, it might be useful to him later when his physical attributes had increased but now it would just become a burden. He didn't know the power of this gun thus making a mistake, now that he had learnt his lesson he would choose a gun that was less powerful and handy.

Just like his handgun but he would need more power from it, due to his physical capability right now he would choose a gun that was double the power of it. Looking for a while he finally chose a suitable one. It was still a handgun but was a more advanced version of it.

It's impact lessening effect was wondrous and its power was way powerful than the previous. Its might could equal the riffle but due to its impact lessening effect he could handle it pretty easily. The points required for it was also a lot too, thirty five points with it he could get one C grade and with a bit of saving he could get another C grade card.

But it was worth it, for now he didn't need another gene, excessive amount of genes could be a bad thing too making the host's body unstable and could even lead to death.

He got the gun and immediately tried it in the Training Hall. Training in it cost points too and the power of the dummies was directly associated with it. Basically right now everything within the space ship cost points, except the rooms. He chose the Grade 0 dummy and a dummy just like from before appeared. The point was one point per hour.

The same metallic training dummy appeared on the white room. Everything was exactly the same except the part that now he choose when to begin the training. After pulling out his newly bought handgun, he immediately fired it at the dummy. One shot formed a dent and another one penetrated it, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

With this he could basically fight against Farold one on one without any tricks. Even though he won last time, it couldbe attributed to luck. First Farold was injured from the shot he made previously and second the sudden awakening of the cold energy had surprised Farold and managed to injure him greatly.

Without these two reasons even if he had the cold energy from the beginning he wouldn't win. Farold's ignorance and arrogance had led him to getting injured by the bullet and also made an opening for the cold energy to get into his body making the results several times better.

Even now he had a sick complexion and was pale but now he wouldn't be so ignorant like before. That meant he wouldn't be able to ambush him again using his arrogance. That fight also led their animosity deepening further.

Right now he needed to test his actual strength in real fight. A living target was entirely different from a fixed target. The difference could be huge.
