Space 8: ArksWorry

SPACE 8. Arks Worry

Syu syu syu syu!

S-20 located in Fargo Volcano.

A spaceship landed at the airfield behind the management office. It was a silver spaceship with a streamlined body and an upper eclipse part attached like the 2nd floor of a bus. It was the Silver Star that had been upgraded to the 4th grade battleship.

Eh? Hyung-nim!

A familiar voice was heard as soon as he got off the Silver Star.The person looking at Ark with wide eyes was Asuran.An unfamiliar spaceship had landed so he came out to receive the parking fees, only to become confused once Ark got off it.

What happened? The original spaceship?

This is the Silver Star.

Huh? This is the Silver Star? But

It just happened by chance.Well, just think of it as being remodelled.

Well, if you say soalthough the previous shape

Asuran clicked his tongue with a regretful expression.

In fact, Ark agreed with him. Originally the Silver Star was a smooth and sleek looking spaceship.But after fusing with the Rama spaceship, the attached upper part gave it a dull appearance.

But the performance had definitely gone up.It looked dull but the speed and turning ability was faster. The machine guns had increased from 2 to 4 and the ability of the main gun, shield and armour had increased. However, the biggest outcome of this upgrade was information rather than the performance.

Other spaceships needed to be brought to professional remodelling companies for upgrading. Of course, Ark also knew that. But this time he discovered a new method of growing his ship.It was absorbing an abandoned ship with Shape Decomposition Fusion!

Of course, the materials of the abandoned spaceship needed to match with the Silver Star. The abandoned spaceships could be considered free money. There was also the disadvantage that it couldnt be converted to his tastes like it could at the professional companies.

But he could save a significant amount of money by not needing to leave it to the professionals.Space Decomposition Fusion was a jackpot that could save him a huge amount of money!

There is no reason to dwell on the outward form.

Then Asuran suddenly remembered something and spoke.

I need to tell Ralph.

Have they cleared the dungeon yet?

Yes, they are still digging on the bottom floor. There are more collapsed areas compared to the upper and middle floors. Moreover, the Thanatos on this floor is more stronger than the ones on the upper floor.They look so terrible that I feel sorry for them. Your arrival will encourage them. If they hear that Hyung-nim is here then theyll come running barefoot.

It was to be expected.

Once again, Ark had rallied the members of the Royal Guards to clear out the dungeon in S-20.However, Ark took most of them with him when participating in the investigation team and the Charenjok was left in charge of the food factory.

Therefore the only personnel remaining in the dungeon was Ralph, Beleol, Reben and Konsed. The bottom floor was so wide that no users had finished exploring it before the dungeon collapsed. It was unreasonable to expect 4 people with shovels to clear it all.

Of course I should see them..

Ark thought for a moment before nodding.

Please call Hamad and your subordinates for the moment.

Hamad and my subordinates? I understand.

Asuran was confused but didnt question him as he ran into the management office. And he soon returned with Hamad and his subordinates.

Ark, youve returned!

Have you been well in the meantime?

Ive just been sitting here counting money. What about you? Fortunately you seem to have returned healthy. Did your work go well?

Yes, I just came back after finishing it.

Then why didnt you come into the management office? I will report back to you.

There is something Id like you to take care of before that.

Take care of?

Hamad tilted his head and asked.

Ark set down a backpack overflowing with a huge amount of money.It wasnt just Ark. Slayer, Leon, Melina, Rapid, Kayas group, Berad and the other members who participated in the investigation team also had full backpacks.

Swords, guns, RPGs, armour and various types of ammunition. Items poured out and formed a mountain of items on the ground! Hamads mouth gaped open at the sight.

W-whats all this?

We picked it up.

P-picked it up? Does that make sense?

Hamad asked like it was nonsense.But it was true. Ark and his team had really picked up the items from the armoury. The original owners had died when the carrier exploded. Something ownerless was being picked up.

That wasnt the only thing Ark collected on this trip.

There is more in the Silver Stars warehouse.

M-More?

Yes, it is mainly mechanical parts in the warehouse..

The Silver Stars warehouse was filled with so many mechanical parts that there was no room.He had obtained those mechanical parts from E-2036.After getting rid of the Kraken, Ark and his team disassembled mechanical parts from the abandoned spaceships while Tori was repairing the Silver Star.

That amount was 150 tons!However the room in the Silver Stars warehouse had ran out. There was still wreckage remaining on E-2036 that he couldnt pack. He also couldnt finish searching all of the underground space.

There was no time then so I withdrew but.

He would visit it again as soon as he had time.But now he still had things to put in order.

Hamad-nim, please examine the metal parts in the Silver Star and give me a quote of the market price. Asuran, classify the type of items and machine parts with Hamad then transfer them to the management offices warehouse.

Huh? Ah, yes! Lets go!

Ill be in the management office.

Huh? Ah, yes.I understand.

Hamad nodded with a puzzled expression.Ark gave instructions to Tori, Milan and Hegel to inspect and repair the Silver Star and headed to the management office after parting from his team members.The time that he participated in the investigation team was 24 days!

However Ark had no time to take a break.

Hyung-nim?

People were running back and forth in the square.One man approached another sitting down at a fountain. The men examined each other before smiling.

Myung-ryong.

When did you come in?

Just now. I deliberately timed it to coincide with you.

You did well. By the way, what name did you decide on?

Justiceman!

The man folded his muscular arms and replied.

Whether it is the future or middle ages, justice is a law necessary in the world! You?

I am Isyuram just like before. There is no reason to use a different name.

Isyuram and Justiceman were Lee Myung-ryong and Gwon Hwa-rang. On the advice of Ark, Lee Myung-ryong and Gwon Hwa-rang decided to cooperate play the game in order to watch over the Lucifer Hunting team.

The two men were different from Ark and didnt have a lot of game experience.They played New World for several years but that had a medieval backdrop while Galaxian was science fiction. The universe outside the window was strange and unfamiliar.

Hyung-nim, did you see this? Everything is automatic! High-tech, high-tech!

Lee Myung-ryong, no Isyuram spoke while fiddling with his Nymphe.Various information windows floated in front of him and the backpack opened and closed.

This child. Is this the first time youre playing? It might be high-tech but it is just like New World. They are all similar. But there is one thing that is different. Wearing this at my age. I am as good as naked. Im really embarrassed..

Ah, is that why youve been sitting down?

Arent you embarrassed?

Not at all! What do I have to be embarrassed about? My body isnt something to be embarrassed about. A sleek waist, thick muscles and wide shoulders. Isnt my muscular body in the top 1%? It is a completely different dimension from Hyung-nim.

Isyuram moved around carelessly.Justiceman spoke in a testy voice after seeing Isyurams extreme man power actions.

Sit your muscular body down.

And Justiceman turned away like he didnt care.

If youre so proud then just dance here.I dont have time to be embarrassed. Im going to go to the hunting ground and pick up some clothes.

Eh? Lets go together!

Why, didnt you say showing off your body doesnt matter?

But how much more wonderful would it look wearing clothes? This body was originally built for fighting. In fact, cant you say that it is a battle optimized for combat? Huhuhu! In New World I unexpectedly became a merchant but now I can show my performance as a warrior! I will be a warrior from the beginning. I started several months after the team but I will quickly catch up! Ah, where are you going?

You shouldve known before you came.

Justiceman visited the centre of R-14 without any hesitation.

These days, the space bugs are multiplying and making it difficult..

Leave it to me! Taking care of the space bugs wont be a problem!
