[Who said that the materials cannot be found in this world? They are there and they are so much abundant and cheap. It is just that you have never seen them before.]
Jack: "…."
Jack couldn't understand what the system was trying to imply. They are there? And furthermore, they are abundant and cheap as well?
If that was the case, then how come he had never heard of them? He was sure that if any of them was present, he should have at least heard about it.
[Just like how you didn't know about the existence of the strongholds not long ago, that is just how you don't know about the existence of these materials.]
Jack remained silent as he tried contemplating on what the system was meaning. Even though he really wanted to argue with the system, there was nothing he could say about it.
Moreover, this version of the system was not the type that could easily compromise with him. So, he doubted that it would change its decision and tell him the whereabouts of the material that he needed.
'System, is there perhaps a chance that I can encounter these materials as soon as possible?' Jack asked.
That was something that he had to look for a way to find. After all, the armor was something that was so important to him when he was going to face these people from the stronghold.
With the weapons that they were having, without having anything that could protect him, he would surely be at a great disadvantage.
If it was possible, he really wanted to make that armor as soon as possible, before he went and came head to head with the person from the stronghold.
[If you want to get into contact with the materials as soon as possible, then the system's suggestion is that, you can get that piece of information from the person from the stronghold.]
Jack: "…."
Jack's mind went blank for a moment. The reason as to why he had asked that question was to forge an armor before he met with the person from the stronghold.
But why is it that the system was saying that, for him to make the armor, he had to meet with the person from the stronghold first and get the information from him. But, isn't that going against the plan that he was having?
Jack began thinking of any other method that he would utilize to get what he wanted. Although he knew that the person from the stronghold didn't know that he was the one whom he was looking for, there couldn't be a guarantee that that person wouldn't start fighting him just like how he killed of several soldiers.
After a long while of contemplation, Jack finally came to a decision. Since there was no any other way, then he was going to utilize all the cards that he currently possessed so that he can gain the information from that person.
And, the main card that he was having at the moment was the final prize that he had received. An increase in his strength by four levels.
At this moment, he really wished to immediately claim the four levels so that he can get beyond level 10. But, he was having a gut feeling that just like the free skill slots that he had gotten from the system, perhaps these levels that he was receiving from the system were going to be important to him in the future.
And after a while of thinking for a solution, he decided on one thing. He was going to save half of it and utilize the other half.
'System, I want to claim two levels from the final reward.'
[Host, please confirm that you would like to claim two levels of increase in strength.]
When he saw that, Jack's eyes immediately shone with excitement. From what he could remember, the first time that he was trying to utilize the free slot, there was another confirmation prompt that had come from the system.
And immediately after that, he had come to know that the longer the period that he had the free skill slot, the more value of the skills that he would receive from them in the future.
Since that was the case, Jack was currently wondering what amount of strength would be added in case he came to utilize the two additional levels that he had left aside in the future.
But of course, that was on a premise that the levels that he had been granted, worked the same way as the free skill slots.
'I confirm that.' Jack stated.
[Reward claimed.]
This time, the system didn't say a lot of words. And immediately after it confirmed that the two levels had been claimed by Jack, he felt a warm current rushing through his body.
Then, his muscles began getting tense and at the same time hot. But, this was just a periodical thing. It ended after just 2 minutes or so.
And when that happened, Jack realized that there was a great difference within him. He currently felt that he could freely control his body, more than he had ever done so previously.
That implied that, not only had his strength improved, but even his body control had greatly improved.
This immediately gave him an idea. Could it be that just like the first time that he received the combat ability, did other areas improve as well?
Without wasting time, Jack immediately headed for the basement in the villa. After getting on the treadmill that was present in the gym, he began testing his speed.
And true to his guess, he had actually become faster than he had ever been. And surprisingly, The improvement that he had gotten was not just a matter of eight plus two, but an improvement in terms of quality.
'System, according to logic, shouldn't it be that I have only improved by two folds of a normal adult?' Jack wouldn't help but question.
[The host has to note that, the improvement that he had received at this time doesn't concern the number of times that he was stronger than a normal adult man. But, in terms of levels.]
And after that, the system went silent not giving any further information.
Even though he wasn't given a detailed explanation, Jack could immediately tell that there was a great difference this time.
Unlike the body strengthening solution that he had taken, which only improved his strength by two folds of a normal adult, the two levels that he had received from the system had improved him in terms of levels and not just strength.
Shaking his head to dispel the thoughts for a moment, Jack finally decided to set aside the matter of his improvement in strength. Even though currently he was tempted to get the other two levels that he was putting aside, he managed to resist it.
At this moment, Jack heard his phone ringing. Looking at the person who was calling, he found out that it was Valnaro.
Without any delay, Jack immediately received the call. He had previously instructed Valnaro to look for the information about the person that had collaborated with the terrorists that had attacked his hotel.
And due to the fact that Jack had decided to deal with that person, the military hadn't made any move on him at all. They were waiting for Jack to deal with that person before they could take him in to face the law.
"Hello, captain." Jack said.
"Hello major Jackson! I have already gotten all the information that you wanted. I have compiled it all and sent it to your email." Valnaro stated.
"I got that. Do you perhaps have any other reason for calling me?" Jack didn't believe that this captain was going to call him just to inform him that he had sent over the email.
And true to his words, Valnaro replied, "Indeed major Jackson. The main reason as to why I called you is to inform you that we have gotten a few clues about the whereabouts of the person that we were supposed to deal with."
"His current location should be revealed soon. So, I was informed to let you know as early as possible so that you can get prepared."
"Okay then." Jack nodded before finally hanging up. His eyes were already glinting with excitement as he was looking forward to the opportunity that he could test his current strength.
Although previously he wasn't sure about facing the laser beams that had always been talked about, this time, he had some kind of confidence that he didn't know where it came from.
But all the same, due to the qualitative leap of his strength, he currently believed that even if he faced that person who was armed with laser weapons as well as a good armor, he wouldn't fall at a disadvantage.
As for preparations, what could he do about that? The only thing that he could have done to prepare for this would be to make the armor. But without the materials that were needed, there was no way that he was going to make the anti-laser armor.
He went back and sat on the bed in his bedroom. Just as he was about to take out his laptop and confirm the information that had been sent over, his phone rang again.
"Hello Denali, what's up?" Jack asked after he received the call.
"Boss, we are currently facing trouble. There's someone who is here to take away madam." Denali replied anxiously.
Jack's heart skipped a beat when he had that. He immediately shot to his feet with anger already blazing his eyes. Killing intent immediately enveloped the whole room.
