Number One Dungeon Supplier



The night passed quickly and morning rose before Jin knew about it. For the time he passed in Synthesis World, he was actually glad that he did not need to worry about sleeping on the bed. There was no sludge nor had crystalised sludge emerged from it, hence making him remember that he was still in Virtual Simulation.

As he got out of bed, he realised that the demigorgon sword was looking at Jin. The eyes were staring as if it wanted a meal. "Must be my imagination…right?" Jin said to himself and questioned the System if it had any new data popping out with regards to the demigorgon sword for the past day. 

"None. But it does seem hungry for your Maqi. Maybe it felt that the powers that you wield are worthy for a meal." 

"Will it suck me dry?" Jin asked and the System do not have any idea with regards to that.

"Fine, since the morning is still young. There is no harm in giving this sword some Maqi of mine. Who knows, maybe with enough sucking, it might not suck during battle. Hahaha." 

"That is such a bad pun, User." The System also stated that it would monitor the amount of Maqi it would need to be satisfied. So, for the next half an hour, Jin sat cross leg and went into his cultivation stance where he would slowly harness his Maqi within himself as well as produce it to feed the demigorgon sword.

To his surprise, the two swords themselves seemed to act like a part of their meridian circuit the more he pushed Maqi into the metal blades. Thus, he slowly tried to connect the demigorgon swords as part of his meridian circuits.

Suddenly, flashes of memories emerged the moment he connected the circuits with the swords. They were not pleasant as it involved dozens of people being eaten and he saw how the monster swallowed them up. Thus, he quickly broke the circuit and physically checked the demigorgon sword.

The eyes were missing from the sword's hilt and Jin panicked, quickly asking the System if there were any physical changes to his body. "No, everything is all good. In fact, your meridians seem crystal clear as compared to the state you had half an hour ago." 

"Then where did the Demigorgon eyes disappear to?" Jin asked and just as he spoke out, the eye emerged at the bottom of the blade, slowly moving itself around the blade as if it was not just alive but comfortable within the blade itself.

"It appeared that the demigorgon swords had gone into a certain transformation. The composition of the blade had also changed based on the System's analysis. It's no longer just the living metal composites but had DNA of the demigorgon's eye within it as well. This might prove useful since it may mean that the sword is sturdier than usual." 

"So, unknowingly, I have an upgrade as well?" Jin does not know whether to chuckle or not after seeing the flashes of memories that he saw from the point of view of the demigorgon. In the end, he even told the System about it but the latter did not state that it should be anything impactful against him at all and he might be thinking too much.

"Heh, thinking too much. That's how things become bad shit crazy. Meh. We will see how this goes." Jin said as he picked up the swords once more and found them to be lighter than before. Thus, when he put them in the customised holster, they became so light that it did not feel like he was carrying anything. 

Soon he returned to the workshop and saw Lynn had already prepared a few sandwiches for everyone to partake in and Yinn was also at the workshop, all decked out in her gear. Her appearance did not change one bit but what made her different was that she was wearing a oversized broken cloak as part of her appearance.

"That looks cool, is it part of the upgrade? Like some invisibility cloak?" 

"It's along those lines. And as much I find it unwieldy, its oddly weird that I do feel comfortable in it." Yinn said and only at a closer inspection that Jin realised it had the same vibe coming from the Great Reality Blender. 

"Of course, it has that vibe, the materials are from it." He thought to himself and he asked Yinn whether she was ready to roll out. 

"Don't you want to finish your breakfast first?" 

"He always munchs them on the way because it is more convenient. It's a bad habit of his." Lynn said before inserting a piece of wet wipe in Jin's pocket because of hygiene and cleanliness.

"You are not bringing any ranged weapons with you?" Yinn asked as she saw that Jin was rather empty when it came to guns. All he had with him was the commander pistol that Yinn gave him when he first came to this world." 

"Isn't this a ranged weapon?" Jin asked as he pointed at the very gun that she was looking at.

"That's a sidearm, your main arm?" Yinn queried and he ridiculously pointed at his right arm which made Yinn pissed. 

"I did not bring one. We are going to fight for Diaz's upgrade. There is no way ranged weapons would be sufficient if they are going to keep creating monsters to fight against us. We will run out of bullets before the boss runs out of monster."

"Hmmm. You are not wrong. Okay, Commander. Let's go." Yinn said when the both of them stepped into the Dungeon Entrance, Jin felt the exact same presence of the Great Reality Blender right beside him that forced him to take a step sideward and prepare to engage. 

A combat instinct that had been honed in him after so many hundreds of fights had made him nearly made him recognised that Yinn was the enemy but his vice leader merely stood there and asked Jin to calm down. 

"It's the artefact amplifying my current powers along with the upgrades," Yinn said as she walked out of the dungeon entrance and the aura of the Great Reality Blender had disappeared. The moment she walked in again, the aura emerged. 

"And here I thought I had mixed around with enough monsters," Jin said as he relaxed his stance and tried to make sense of the situation.
