Number One Dungeon Supplier



The System and Jin did not exactly discuss anything important but they went to the meeting as dictated by Denise. This is due to the fact that the researchers were said to have a breakthrough with the fusion of materials from the monster outbreaks.

They reported they managed to use the genes of the Male Metal Ogres and Female Forest Troll to create a substandard material that could withstand and regenerate. A living metal like what Jin had worn before and used for his System Rider Belt. The only difference was that the living metal which Jin used was more sentient but this merely reacted to pain. 

Whenever it had been hit, the molecules of the living metal would attempt to heal itself and when receiving more impact at the same place would excite the molecules to work even harder. After the recovery period, the metal would then be thicker than previously sought. They found out that more hits do not necessarily mean a stronger metal, nor did it mean a thicker metal. It's just the living metal's way of repairing itself.

"Any nanobots involvement?" Jin asked and the researchers said that had not introduced any external factors into the process as of now. Everything that they had done was as natural as it could be.  Only when they have approved the budget for the next phase, they would do what's needed to cultivate it to be more specific.

Right now, they could not control the growth of the living metal nor could they understand how the living metal could be used in creating Mechanoids. Even if they could successfully replicate the living metal, Jin would always feel inferior to the one that he had always been using. Perhaps, given time, they could achieve a similar trait to the living metal he knows about but for now, it is just a metal that does not conform to his standards and it felt uneasy for him.

"Well, if this does work out, you probably can have a blunt weapon made out of this metal and you need to be finding more weapons to kill your enemy," Denise said as she was probably mentioning the time when Jin was using the destruction lightning techniques that caused all the swords to break upon impact.

"Erm, I think I just used too much power in that," Jin replied.,

"With regards to that, do you mind trying this particular weapon out? We did infuse a little of the Regenerative Metal Cells into the blade as a sort of side mini project which we know it had not been approved of."

"Then why would you continue doing this if you know that it had not been approved."

"Because we need proof of concept before we can proceed with making weapons with that kind of capability." The researcher said and Jin looked at Denise. She sighed a little before nodding her head.

"The Lead Researchers of Diamondz are allowed to proceed with some stuff without our approval otherwise, they would rather quit and go somewhere else. Let's just call it freedom for creativity. But honestly, Rafeal you should at least state that you used it in your 'mini' project. This regenerative metal is beyond secret level classification." 

"Yes, thank you."Rafeal did not care what Denise said as he brought the blade to Jin's hands. It was a simple shortsword with no hilt but the blade did not have a natural colouring to it. In fact, it looked and felt as if there was something inside screaming. 

"Probably my imagination…" Jin thought to himself as he carried it and felt that it was light. Really light compared to the mass manufactured swords that he had used previously.  He gave a swing and the force that it produced was relatively the same as the mass manufactured swords. "How did you know that the swords I used were all broken…or to the point that you wish to make a new sword for me? I mean, you could always use this livin- erm I mean regenerative metal for a gun barrel instead."

"We saw your fight, Interim Leader. It was fantastic and mind blowing. To see that destructive power being captured by the soldier's point of view made me want to see it up close. Without any restrictions." 

"Erm…" Jin held the sword speechless as he saw not just Rafeal the Lead Researcher's eyes glimmering but the rest as well. Even Denise who wanted to act professional and nonchalant about it had decided to show some interest in it as well. Jin eventually nodded his head and the researchers immediately brought him to a testing room.

It was that standard all white room with various colour lines demarcated at every metre just so that the researchers could measure anything that happened within that testing room. There were cameras at all corners of the room and specialised ones to capture every single frame that could happen within the room.

"Just one, alright?" Jin said and the researchers nodded their heads.

"Byakkou, you want to be in it? Else, I can imitate your Black Lightning with my Maqi." Jin asked for permission and the White Tiger yawned.

"Its not like you are fighting for your life. I don't see the need to come out and prove to those crazy eyes with regards to my power. Besides, your imitiation should be more than enough to wow them. Unless… your imitation cannot break the sword, then I would be laughing at you."

"Heh seriously." Jin grinned momentarily before returning a serious look. He took the sword up to have another look before a dummy came out from the ground and Rafeal stated that Jin could start anytime. So, the Interim Leader took a deep breath in and summoned his Maqi, creating the Black Lightning that they were looking forward to. 

It looked the same for sure but whether it had the same destructive powers like Byakkou, that would be a question that Jin wished to answer as well. 

And thus, he swung his blade.
