Number One Dungeon Supplier



"Hopefully they really did not care about it" Jin smiled once and later subsequently requested that they stop the conversation and allow him to rest. The super computer beings understood and allowed their human counterpart to rest as he continued to experience pain from the injuries he got.

The days passed slowly for Jin and he went in and out of his consciousness because of the pain and the lack of sleep. Lynn had occasionally returned to check on him and that was where he always tried to show that he was okay and just needed more time to rest. 

However, the bed that he was sleeping in was not showing the same signs as what his mouth spit out. The sheets were drenched with sweat, the side of the beds slightly bent with hand prints even though it was made out of metal because Jin had been holding the sides to bear with the pain. And the fact that it was already after two days that the Astral Panda Cultivator had been in this state. 

The System who had been consistently monitoring Jin's health, told Lynn that the worms and his body had prioritised his survival. The recreation of certain organs had been reported temporarily while the rest were remade. That was when those organs deconstruct again so that they do not act as a temporary standalone organ but as part of the full part of his body and hence the extreme reconstruction of Jin's body. 

The rest of the Grey Bear Squad who had completed their upgrades had wished to find Jin but he did not allow any other body to come in except for Lynn. The Commander did not want his Mechanoids to see him in such a pathetic state. 

Soon, a week passed with no improvement on Jin's condition and Lynn was not able to take it and decided to ask Zeru to check whether he had any idea on the technique he had used, as well as the effects on the body.

Zeru sighed and told her that the System might not know the full extent of the damage that Jin was experiencing and thus gave such an optimistic timeline. "Please understand at that point, victory was more important and I had judged based on Jin's survivability that using that particular technique was still possible even though I had already reduced the lethality of it." 

"That I do not blame you but I just want to know why his body keeps breaking down," Lynn emphasized.

"This is because Trans Dimension Sword Techniques made it seem like you are moving in subatomic levels as if you are merging yourself with the air molecules around you. So, if your body had not been trained for such attacks, it would experience extreme strain and the muscles would break down at the molecular level. From what I heard from the more studious people, the DNA strands break as well. But the fact that Jin had been surviving until now should not be a problem. After all, this is just a Virtual Simulation, right?" 

"Wait…if this is a Virtual Simulation that deals with souls, does that mean his soul is broken into bits and pieces too?" Lynn said out loud and both System and Zeru took time to consider such a factor until the System came out with a confident no. 

Lynn did not believe it until Syn emerged for the conversation as well and told Lynn that this was all a simulation that the soul would experience in real life. And with regards to soul integrity, something which she learned that there was such a thing as Syn had made sure that it was still intact 100%. Something which was not possible for the rest of his 'players' who had some loss in their soul integrity because of the damaged soul extractors that had been used over the past decades.

It finally calmed Lynn down but she was still uneasy that Jin had to suffer like this. Maybe for him to lose all four limbs might have been an easier way to regrow them but that would also take several weeks since there was no Milk available to call out.

"Is Milk still undercover?" Lynn asked the System and unfortunately, that remained true. With Peppers concealment magic, they tried to keep the body within a set of goods they bought from the celestial plane and returned back using that as extra cover as well. "In short…she is having fun outside?" 

"The System believed so, but calling her on the behest of borrowed System Rider's powers might not have been optimal for Jin as well. The Cardinal powers do wear out Jin to a certain extent." The System reported and Lynn had no choice but to wait for time to pass. 

In the meantime, the Grey Bear Mechanoids were prompted to receive another upgrade as there were reports that the Pandarens and Pandawans had managed to kill and capture a few Mind jackers as well as Grell's power cores. Denise knew that the Grey Bears were at Mount Sunn and sent a few parts for Old Flammet to try it out but she had no idea that the Mecha smith had already succeeded in fusing monster parts into the Grey Bears Mechanoids. He continued to keep it a secret from her and thanked her for the parts.

However, because of the current upgrades they had, they were not able to have those 'low level' upgrades entering them, affecting their compatibility score with the current monster infused upgrades that they had.  So instead, he made it an external machine that they could attach and detach once the power from it had depleted. 

Making it a standalone module would not affect their current upgrades and this would prove to be a game changer for them, allowing them to hide their true powers if they were to fight against the Three Winged Angel or against future enemies. Well, that was assuming they could go to battle once Jin finished his healing up.
