The weapon dealer's son

Chapter 19: New skills.

[starting dismantling process, 170 energy will be used during the dismantle.]

Adam looked at the stats in the corner of his eye and he had 200 energy points, he now have twice the energy capacity, which is more convenient since he will be using so much energy for this plan. 

Surprisingly the dismantle process wasn't painful at all, it was actually relieving. The symbiote wasn't forcefully boosting the digestion as usual, instead, it stopped the enzyme production completely, replacing it with a viscous substance that absorbed the cores one by one. 

Adam looking at this process, couldn't help but ask. 'what is this stuff?!' he was watching the process through the thought projection in real time. 

[a part of the symbiotic state.]

It didn't seem to have the words to describe it, even though the symbiote had nearly the entire public data of the humanity's network, they didn't have information about what it is, it didn't even have words to describe it. So it transmitted the basic idea of what it is.  

The small ping-pong size black ball Adam found that night in the forest, is a condensed substance unknown to mankind, the viscous substance in his stomach now is a part of that ball but not as dense as it was. 

As the cores were absorbed, the substance didn't increase in size, it increased in mass instead, eventually having the mass of the entire 60 cores, and yet it wasn't as dense as the small ping-pong ball Adam held in his hand that night. 

Each one of the robotic cores weighed 80 grams, Which resulted in Adam gaining close to 5 more kilogram in density once the substance dissolved into his body again. 

[starting fusion, fusion will consume 25 energy, all motor functions will be disabled during this process, resting position advised.]

He decided to take this resting position on his bed, when he stood up, he felt the weight resting in his stomach, which made him uncomfortable, with occasional pain in his intestine when he walks. So he gave up on the idea and laid back down on the core area's floor. 

In contrast to the dismantle process, the fusion process was agonizing. The unbearable pain was like pulses throughout his entire body starting with his stomach. His veins protruded through the skin of his neck and hands.

Unable to move or express his pain, he suffered the longest 3 minutes in his life. Compared to this pain, the 12 hour enhancement was nothing. 

The moment it ended and regained his movement he screamed to the top of his lung. "why the f*ck does it hurt that much!! Can't I take a sedative medicine for the painful processes?!" the system core of the house answered his screaming by summoning the figure of the butler. 

"how may I be of help sir!" it bowed its head to Adam in respect, which Adam responded to it with a gesture of his hand that made it sink back into the floor. 

[anesthesia will result in the failure of the process due to the impairment of sensation. Analgesic drugs can interfere with the process.]

'that's F*cked up!' his anger dissipated when he heard the reasoning behind the pain. The pain is in the past now, so what is the use of anger. 

The entire process took a little more than one hour, Adam felt so hungry, mental fatigue and headache assaulting him due to the after effect of the pain. 

His body weight and density increased which made it harder to move, he is still moving better then before he got the symbiote, but compared to yesterday, he felt so shackled. 

The next thing on the list was connecting to the cluster fabric, it didn't include pain or energy consumption so he thought to do it first, then take a break and do something fun. 

The cluster fabric Adam bought was the third most expensive thing he ever spent money on, one kilogram of this model cost him 75 thousand coins, a total of 750 thousand were spent on 10 kilograms of cluster fabric. Most people in city 17 would never see this number on their account. 

An average car would cost around 50 thousand coin, one kilogram of G30-2 nanite cluster fabric costs more then an average car. 

The robotic cores each cost 20 thousand, he paid a total of 1.2 million for them.

However, the engine was the one he truly felt the pain of paying for it, even though its not his own money. It cost a whopping 3 millions. 

The place he bought these things from is a kind of a black market, where you can get any thing you have the money to pay for, no questions asked. 

He wouldn't be able to buy this space ship engine any where else. Unlike the cores and the fabric, this was an old model, the symbiote chose this one for the amount of gravity stones inside it. 

the cluster fabric would bind to the first system core it touches, and would only be unbound by the one who controls the system. 

Adam opened the box, inside it was 10 smaller boxes each of them had a metal rod the size of a regular pen. He never saw pure cluster fabric before, usually most people don't. Unless they work in a factory or had some reason to construct a system from the ground up. 

The shiny metallic rod vibrated the moment he touched it. Adam was excited to see it respond to his thoughts. Apparently his thoughts produces electromagnetic waves now. 

his entire body produces a strong aura of electromagnetic waves. This aura interferes with any scanning or reading on his biological data, which confused the house system. 

He started imagining a few shapes that the rod instantly mimicked. it turned into a cube, and then morphed into a ball, and kept changing and morphing from one thing to the other. He could not change its mechanical properties though. 

To change the mechanical properties of the fabric, the system needs to transmit a map with the specified shape and distance between atoms, and the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons on each different atom. 

No matter how much Adam imagined, or changed the shape of the fabric, it stayed in its super state, a shiny, very heavy, small metallic object.

[new skill acquired, G30-2 nanite fabric control. 

Using this skill, the host can choose between different shapes and mechanical properties based on the acquired data base.]

'isn't that convenient!' Adam started checking the skill that appeared in the corner of his vision, above the little black ball with the dim yellow light in its middle.
