Getting into the next destination, it was another Green-marked area. Which means, no threat at all.
As we looked into its interior, the two women explored the place with their eyes as they both sighed in admiration at what they were witnessing.
The place we arrived at was a Demonstration Area.
However, the demonstration being shown to us was just a simulated idea of how they would recycle a defective item.
There was one pen-like device that when thrown would blow up an area like a gigantic sword slashed down on it.
It's defective because… it could be canceled easily by flicking an Energy Bullet towards the pen. As long as one was accurate enough with a simple flicking of condensed energy, a devastating attack could be averted.
Through the demonstration, they showed how to improve the stability of the device and they more or less succeeded in doing that. That was if that improvement was successfully realized before everything went down or before I sacrificed every Transcendent and above on Earth.
As we walked through the hallway of this Demonstration Room, the two women were becoming absorbed in watching anything they could set their eyes on.
"Daisuke, I like that cape… Can we find that here?" Reinys pointed at one of the screens that were showing another demonstration of something defective.
It's a scarlet-red cape that had the same color as her favorite dress. Or more specifically, her princess dress.
When the fluttered from behind its wearer, it appeared as if it's just a streak of crimson fire, blazing inaudibly.
However, even though it looked luxurious and elegant like that, its function is just a regular additional armor. It could protect its wearer from any sorts of attacks be it Physical or Energy Attacks and it scaled with its wearer until the early Sage Realm.
That's why Reinys's eyes were shining as she admired its beauty. And honestly, it would surely fit this girl. I was already imagining her wearing it while in battle. Enemies would charge at her thinking she was unprotected.
But then she would grab the hem of her cape and use it to repel their attacks before countering with her own.
She would be somewhat invincible by then.
Unfortunately, it was also a defective invention. It's unrepairable when it was damaged.
The thread used for it didn't have regenerative properties. Although it's extremely sturdy, once a hole was blasted through it, there's no way to bring it back to its original appearance.
Whoever picked that cape up to study was trying to improve on that part. To give it the self-repairing ability, he created a transparent threat that he would be mixing with its original thread. It was made by the same ore used to make those Automatons.
It was unknown whether it was successful or not though.
"Un. Let's check it later or when we passed by it. It was at the Armor Peripherals Storage Building and it's marked as red."
I reproduced the map using my Energy Control and checked the storage location of the said defective invention.
Upon hearing that, Reinys immediately turned sullen. "Red… if it's too dangerous then it's fine."
"If it's for my Reinys then there's no danger that I won't dive into. Besides I have you two here." I approached her back and embraced her from behind.
We were in a safe space so a little intimacy like this was enough.
And although Reinys couldn't be entirely honest with herself, I still noticed the charming smile that passed by her lips as soon as I embraced her.
"What about you, Elise? Did you find something you fancy among the things shown here?"
While still holding Reinys, I turned my head to the other girl who was still mesmerized about something.
I followed her gaze and found another demonstration of a defective invention.
It's a prototype of an Armored Mobile Suit or in other words, a Metagen.
Most of my girls who were from the World of Meta spent most of their lives piloting their Metagens. Nysia even began doing that as soon as she reached the Silver-rank and awakened her Armor Control.
That's why now that they couldn't use it that much because of its limited function, all of them were somewhat longing for it.
The one in the demonstration didn't have a Regenium Engine or Plates but… its material was certainly higher than Regenium Alloys. And it could be piloted by any Source Energy type.
I guess this defective technology was what's needed for the researchers in the World of Meta to finally advance their Metagen technology.
This one failed to be realized and even the improvement written on its description wasn't that satisfactory.
And that's coming from me who didn't really have that much knowledge with it. Its flaw was so glaring that it was inoperable.
"I see. Then let's take the data for that prototype and have the Researchers study it. With their expertise in building and improving Metagens, they will be able to find a proper way to utilize it."
"Really? But… it might take a long time to finish. Our Metagen can easily be destroyed by a stronger Rank 3 Transcendent, even if we can prolong the use of it by utilizing our new Source Energy, the Regenium is now too weak for our current strength." replied Elise.
My guess was correct, she's really longing to pilot her Metagen again. But at the moment, Metagens could only enhance our strength slightly.
Back during the fight against the Rank 3 Transcendents, my Silver Knight and Nysia's Sanguine Aegis were blocked by that red wolf Rank 3 Transcendent.
Although it was still almost equivalent to a Gigantify Skill, the output of our attacks wasn't the same as before when we were still Rank 1 Transcendents.
"There's a Resource Storage Building here. Perhaps we can find something that can be used to upgrade all of our Metagen. Alright, I marked those two places and I will be informing the others to also go here and check out things that they might want. Let's get moving."
After releasing Reinys in my embrace and informing the others about this place for them to check out, we moved out of the Demonstration Room and entered a passageway that would lead us close to the Deep Space Department where the World Zone Navigator was located.
Naturally, this passageway was also filled with Automatons and around 200 meters from where we were located, I could see the outline of the Gold Automatons guarding and transporting something in a cart that was running through the tracks laid out on the ground.
Right. Since Atlantis was reactivated, the automated work here was also resumed… Whatever they're transporting. It must be somewhat important if it was being guarded by at least 10 Gold Automatons.
Alright, we'll have this as a warm-up before meeting those Crystal Automatons.
I looked to my left and right and saw the two women with a fiery blaze in their eyes. After a brief stay inside that Demonstration Room where they were exposed to some of a Psyche-type Sage World's technology, their minds that were only set on training themselves inside this place were now filled with the thought of getting new devices for themselves. The cape for Reinys and the possibility of upgrading her Metagen for Elise.
