Chapter 643 - One Year
After Sam made that decision, days passed rapidly as he ran around every day.
The first thing he did is update the school library with the new knowledge and experiences he gained from the trip and that included the geography of the Nagin Planet and the environmental conditions of other planets and even the Union dimension.
After that, he went to the shipyard of the organization where the shipbuilding is going in full swing, he gave the research from Mirage city and engine designs.
Now, he focused on the loot he got. The main loot is from the Palace of inheritance, but that is not what he is focusing on. He focused on the secondary loot, the herbs he got from the Black horse competition. The evaluation he received got him 1200 points in the game.
Even though he doesn't know what these points signify and if they are even useful in any way, he still made a mental note of the conditions he could gain more points in these kinds of games.
As for the herbs, after he collected them he noticed one thing, every herb he got is somehow helpful to his beasts. The lotus for Yanwu, the mushroom for Raiju, the grass of Shadow mouse, the kelp for Mia, and the last two herbs he got are one for Sky with wind element and the last one, the one that looked like ginger is useful for all of them including himself.
He could consider this as a happy coincidence and be done with it, but is there really such a happy coincidence in this world?
For the first time in a while, he mostly focused on his training and his new gadget.
His three friends are extremely stacked with work that Sam gave them. The task of finding a successor is no small matter for them as they are in charge of various large departments in the organization.
But they also have to concentrate on their training every day.
A few months later, Sam made his first trip back to Naga Loka. He has to honor some deals there.
Sam went to Butterfly city first and checked the construction. After that, he went back to the Grenade factory.
He went to meet the Shop Keeper. The Expert at the Peak stage of Consummate realm.
When he saw Sam, he smiled faintly. Sam didn't make any time for small talk as he directly took him to a secluded place and operated the Dimensional Drifter.
When they reappeared, they are right in front of the Tempest Valley.
Sam is not stupid enough to let an expert of such caliber into his home without any protection. So, he figured he would bring him here first and show him some force from his side.
They walked into the Tempest valley and they soon arrived right in front of the Old Beast.
The ShopKeeper felt extremely cold when he saw the beasts. Because the aura made him feel like he was in front of an almighty existence that could erase him in an instant and even disdained to even bother with him.
"He is a relative of mine. He would be in charge of you. You can slowly work on your seal on this planet, but in return work for a few years for me.
You will be the guardian of my organization and take care of the internal politics when they cross the line and stop the outsiders who will try to invade my organization.
I know it might not sound nice. But I cannot trust you with everything I built that easily, that is why I brought you here to create insurance for myself."
As soon as he finished, a lightning streak escaped Old beast and entered Shopkeeper's mind.
"If you ever betray me, even if you manage to succeed you will also die with it. Except for that, I swear that there is nothing else related to that lightning."
Shop Keeper looked at Sam. He had some conflicting thoughts in his mind, but he still nodded in agreement. Even though he didn't like being treated like this, there is nothing much he can do.
At least, Sam has shown enough respect by telling this upfront and the reason is also not inexcusable. Above all, he doesn't have to worry about someone coming and dragging him away or even killing him. The Beast is a powerful entity and since that type of entity is willing to save him, he is relieved.
"You wouldn't have to work for a long time, after a few years, you will be able to leave this place," Sam reassured him as he led him to the Space gate.
The shopkeeper changed into his human form as they arrived at the city.
He introduced him to the friends and some of the higher officials. He is a Peak-stage consummate and his seal would be broken in the next month or two. After all, it should have been broken by now, but he hindered it because, in Nagin Planet, he will be caught if the seal broke, now he doesn't have any reservations.
After the seal broke, all the other major powers wouldn't be able to do a thing to him. The organization will be safe with him here.
This is the final arrangement Sam had done for the organization and went back to focusing on his training.
The time passed and soon the One year was over.
Sam has broken through the Pre-transcendent stage. Even though he has a mind to suppress it a bit, he didn't want to since he had other plans.
As for the beast that made the contract with him, it is none other than Dia. After refining her bloodline, the purity increased and she became more skillful at her usage of earth, metal, and gravity. Sam also received two new elements and both of them are variants.
Earth and Metal and the variance is the ability to manipulate gravity. Even though his ability is minuscule at this point, at least he can defend himself from the artificially induced gravitational conditions.
Even his friends also broke through and they are ready for the next step.
Sam met with Sirona and gave the new research results of his latest gadget he made before reassuring her that he would be back in a few months.
But before they could really go away, Sam has some more things to do and one of them is giving his two friends some gifts.
Philip and Jack.
They are with him since Starwood city and they have gone through a lot. Even though they felt like they owed Sam a lot, Sam felt otherwise. He felt like there is no human part left in him because of the.
So, he made something for them.
The long coats. Philip was given a metallic red one and Jack was given Metallic Gray one.
When they looked at them, they were ecstatic. If there is anything they were jealous of Watt, then it would be his coat and the Silver Wind.
They always wanted that, but they couldn't bring themselves to ask Sam.
But today Sam has given them without asking and he didn't just give them a coat, rather he fulfilled their second wish too.
The Hoverboards.
It is not that Sam didn't want to give it to them before, rather he felt extremely trouble on how to create them.
He can give them something similar to Silver wind, but it would be hard for them to maintain something that was not their own element.
That is why, he was working on them in the background, but since he didn't give a proper shot at the problems, he wasn't able to create them. Now, he did.
For Philip's, it is made of Fire meteorite sand and Black meteorite sand combined.
Its design is similar to Silver wind, except there are many nozzles at the bottom of the board and the energy cells are not directly linked to the motion like Harbinger or silver wind.
The board works in a similar way a jet engine works. Inject air from surroundings burns in the combustion chamber, releases the exhaust gas through the nozzles to create the thrust.
He is also doing the same, inside Philip's board, there is a newly developed methane and when burning in a small chamber, the exhaust is used to thrust the board forward and upward. As for how Philip would control it, the combustion will be controlled with his fire element and the direction of the exhaust could be controlled by his metal control as the nozzle diameters are adjustable.
Generally, this principle wouldn't work on modern earth, but here it is possible.
As for Jack's it is easier, because, he only used a drone principle.
He just made a square board with four propellers on the four corners, just like a drone. Even though the design looked simple, there is a lot in it.
The main source of motion is Jack's sword energy.
He would use the spiritual energy of the energy cells within the board to use his swordsmanship to control the propellers.
Each propeller like a wheel made of four swords and all he has to do is control these sixteen swords at the same time to get his desire motion.
But he has to maintain a certain speed to do so.
The formations Sam inscribed will assist him a bit taking some mental strain away.
After giving these things to them and explaining them everything, he left them to get used to those boards and went to the tempest valley.
He is meeting the Old beast for the first time after he broke through. He decided to travel from this place and Explore and the destination would be decided with the help of the Old beast.
