Inside his room, Max held the bottle containing the Evergreen inheritance in one hand and Orc’s mind gem in the other.
Max read about a lot of methods for using inheritance items.
The most popular one was making clones, since the clone will not only inherent all the abilities contain within the inheritance but also gain the chance to grow and evolve those abilities.
However, making clones required a lot of technology, knowledge and resources that Max didn't have access to for the time being, plus he wasn't that interested in making clones .
The idea of another Max walking around gives him the kreeps.
The method he chose is to use the ork's mind and the inheritance to forge or enhance equipment.
Max read about this briefly but he could tell this was the easiest option and the only one he can perform with his current power and resources.
“Simulator, the article mentioned some powerful blueprints, show me the most suitable one for this specific inheritance item. “
[Ding, negative.
this unit has no technical data stored within it.
Please visit our closest space library to acquire the technical knowledge you need.]
“huh?”
Max was stunned.
“So, there’s no way to use this.? Is the method not available, or what? “
|Ding, reporting to The Host.
The Technical knowledge you require is available, but not within this unit
This unit was not meant to store technical knowledge.]
After taking a moment to think, Max just sighed.
In the past, he always looked for training methods and meditation techniques, maybe even just skills, within the countless articles inside the simulator, but it contained none.
Max could somewhat understand the situation. The simulator wasn't meant for learning and such, but to train soldiers.
If someone from that civilization wanted to learn something, he should head to the relevant facilities.
but something confused him.
“Simulator, why do you store so much random articles than. “
[Ding, reporting.…
Quoting a message meant for all who ask such questions :
All articles shared within the different units contain valuable knowledge and a lot of insight that members of the race should learn.
As a soldier, even if your fate is to face death tomorrow, it is crucial not to disregard the power of knowledge. For it is this very knowledge that could potentially be your savior, granting you a chance to overcome the perils that await you.]
“Sigh..” Max could somewhat understand their point of view, but a skill that can increase lifespan or maybe a one hit kill technique would've been preferred.
Max looked down at the two items in his hands.
“so how am I supposed to use this? ”
After some thinking, Max decided to experiment using them, since they didn't have any other use to him.
The article didn't mention the forging process in detail.
In fact, Max didn't even know how to start about it.
But it's not like the article was completely useless, because Max knew a thing or two about how to use it to enhance items.
Since Cold Blood was too valuable to risk damaging, Max decided to use the green robe.
Max didn't have any experience or basic knowledge, so he plans to go about blindly.
The gem will absorb the inheritance, and if he was lucky enough, it will trigger something called a blood memory, and the gem will transform and try to merge with a compatible item on its own.
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
“fuck it, let's just do it.”
Max put the gem in a bucket and poured the green liquid inside.
The gem immediately started absorbing the liquid, and soon it was all gone.
“come on!.”
maybe because this specific inheritance item was in a liquid form which helped the reaction, or maybe he was lucky for once, but the memory effect was triggered as the gem actually grew roots.
The roots spread out inside the bucket as if looking for something.
Max's heart beat stopped for a moment. He didn't think it would actually happen nor that it would be this fast, but he didn't hesitate and put the martial art robe inside.
The roots entangled the robe into a wooden ball as Max watched.
Honestly, he didn't know what to do, so he just waited.
He didn't have to wait for long, as the roots retracted into two golden gems placed on the shoulders of the robe.
The robes’ color actually changed into gray, while roots became part of it spread in different patterns.
Overall, it looked much better.
Max didn't dare approach the thing.
“Simulator, is this shit safe? Because it doesn't look safe?”
[Ding, scanning….
Scan successful, no threat detected.
would you like to view the stats of the equipment?.]
“huh? It was actually successful. For a moment, I thought I summoned some tree demon or something.”
Max was honestly surprised. Based on his luck, he was waiting for something to jump on him and get killed by Lucy, after he'd loot the corpse and maybe get something useful.
“show me what is it. “
[ reporting.
equipment name : evergreen robe.
A flexible armor with E-rank defense capabilities.
Ability Evergreen : when the wearer’s health reaches a critical level of less than 30%, an evergreen power wave will be triggered, healing the wearer back to full health.
Note 01 : this healing effect can even regenerate lost limbs, but not the heart muscle nor the brain.
Note : cooldown duration 2 weeks.
Overall Grade : D+
Max just looked at the robe with an impassive gaze.
Max felt that something wasn't right. Under any circumstance he shouldn't be this lucky, especially considering he didn't know what he was doing, but look at what he got, an item with a life saving ability.
Max scratched his chin in confusion.
He would have been happier summoning a tree demon instead of getting so lucky.
At the very least, while summoning a demon, his naturally suspicious mind won't trouble him with all kinds of conjectures.
He had the feeling that this burst of good luck was something to numb him.
But after some thinking, Max just smiled.
‘whatever, it might just be my mind messing with me, but if it isn't so what. “
“oy Lucy."
‘yes?’
" Remember when I told you to not make too much gunpowder and keep it away from my place? Forget about that. I need to turn the surroundings into a land of sudden death. “
Lucy was stunned on the spot. Was Max really giving her the green light to do whatever she wants, did he turn mad for real?
“Lucy, just store it around and don't explode it.
In fact, stop all explosions for now, also no one is allowed within the mountain.
If anything walks within your range, inform me immediately and be prepared to strike“
Little Lu was quiet for a moment.
‘will do.’
She didn't object or complain, although she was usually playful. She wouldn't mess around in serious matters.
and although she wasn't sure why Max gave such orders, but she didn't care to understand, for now all what matters to her is to execute Maxes orders.
“don't worry little Lu, it just precautions. Also I need the mountain to be Misty all the time but keep it light. “
After instructing Lucy, he took the Evergreen robe and went to change.
The roots around it made it look uncomfortable, but after actually wearing it, Max could swear this was the most comfortable clothing he has ever possessed.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Max exclaimed an amazement.
“wow, this shit is good.”
..................
Time passed quickly.
Max spent the next few days overseeing Mok, teaching the other crows psychic link.
In the process, he also used the skill scrolls a few more times. By the end of the week, all of them learned the skill, while Shadow crow Delma even reached the primary mastery under Mok's teaching.
.........
Max woke up to the sunrise energetic.
Since the cooldown of the simulation was only a few minutes away, he was in a good mood.
Last time's simulation took a lot of time since he had to consider which crow to choose and such, thus the cooldown was pushed to the morning.
‘come over everyone.’ commanded Max through his mental connection with his pets.
CRAW! Craw.! CRAW! Craw.!
Soon, the crows flew in and circled around Max before landing.
Max looked at the proud birds around him, satisfied.
The only exception would be the elementless crow Imlak.
The little guy's tiny eyes kept twitching.
While his feathers were all messed up, and he kept blanking out as if recalling some flashbacks.
Max was confused. “What happened to him?”
The crows looked at each other with fear in their eyes, and Max figured it out immediately. This was most probably Lucy's doing.
Max shook his head and patted the little guy. “you'll get over it. Just work hard and it will never happen again. “
Imlak nodded repeatedly, determined to be the hardest worker among his brothers, so the big sister won't find trouble with him again.
Max honestly didn't know what this little guy went through. He chose not to watch for the benefit of his sleeping conscience.
“alright let's move to serious matters.
Mok, did you explain to them what I told you?”
Mok nodded.
“alright, I'll explain one more time just to make sure.
I will be sending you to something akin to a dream world, and inside forget everything and just work on your skill psychic link. If anyone dares to be lazy then he will receive the same punishment as Imlak. “
The crows stood at attention immediately. You could see the love for hard work in their eyes.
Max smiled, satisfied.
Lucy's antics seemed to be quite useful on this bunch.
