[Appraise skill is now level 2]
[Appraise skill will now display more information when used on objects, humans, items, and more]
When Bernard saw this he couldn't help but become excited, although he was hoping it would level up but he wasn't that optimistic about whether it would work or not, however seeing the skill actually level up made him surprised and excited as well, the reason he had even opted to try using the skill as much as possible to make it level was when he realized his abilities and skill could level up if he used them often.
Although he was a bit sure other of his abilities and skills could level up, but then he didn't know if they had met the prerequisite to level up.
At this moment looking at the lock in front of him, not only was Bernard excited to try out Appraise on it but he also had a feeling if he tried it again this time around something would happen, however, he didn't try it immediately, as he closed his eyes and took in a deep breath to calm his overly excited heart down, before opening his eyes once again as he did, he called out Appraise in his mind as he looked at the vault combination lock in front of the steel door.
[Appraise had been activated]
[Appraising combination lock]
[A Vault combination lock machine that is linked to a steel door. Entering the right combination lock linked to the door can successfully open the vault. Please touch the vault combination lock for more information]
After reading and going through the notification message, Bernard realize a piece of extra information had been added to what it used to be before, as he read the last part of the information, Bernard then walked towards the combination lock and placed his hand on it. When he touched it nothing happened until he twisted it slightly to the side as if he was about to unlock the passcode.
[A Vault combination lock mechanism that is linked to a steel door. Entering the right combination lock linked to the door can successfully open the vault.]
[Vault combination lock has been Appraised, the vault combination lock to the door is: Turn the dial until you get your first hit, reverse direction until you get the second hit, then back to the original direction until you get the third hit]
When Bernard saw this he didn't waste any time, and immediately went ahead to test out the combination the system had given him for the vault combination lock to the steel door.
As Bernard held the dial and began to twist it his heart which was usually calm started to thump against his chest slowly, although he trusted the system he was also slightly afraid he might make a mistake, nevertheless, he still continued by following what the system had directed him to, after twisting the dial to the get the first hit, Bernard continued all the way until the third dial.
"Beep Beep Beep" *Kra-gran-gran-Chuk*
Bernard couldn't help but take a step back, as the steel door taller than him made a beep sound and then began to swing open, the moment it did a look of surprise could be seen on his expression.
Meanwhile, after Anna and Sophia had spotted the middle high-tier demon beast before it saw them, they didn't immediately move from their position, it wasn't that they didn't want to move but such type of demon beast was not only dangerous but they were also as fast as a rank 7 speed type symbiote user, so none of them wanted to make any mistake that might make the demon beast pay attention to them.
Especially Anna after watching her captain and her entire team being slaughtered by a demon beast, the last thing she wanted to do was die at the hands of one and at the same, she also wanted to leave Straangee planet as soon as possible.
After a while of being sure that the demon beast had left, they finally decided to move from their position while moving due to how long they had not move their bodies were slightly sore, however, they didn't let it impede their movements.
After all, no one wanted a demon beast to be after them, while Anna was thinking of the places they could find the stargates and teleportation device, Sophia instead was thinking about Bernard and what his current situation was at the moment, no matter how much she didn't want to think about it, she couldn't stop worrying herself, especially after she saw such powerful demon beast.
Eventually, after leaving the area the demon beast was located, they decided to go towards other buildings in the military base, just like Anna had said the stargates and teleportation device were likely not there, and even if it was the demon beast must have destroyed them, or even worse taking it as their nest or resting place.
Although the stargate and teleportation devices might belong to the military, but the destination could still be changed to an explorer sheltered stationed in another place, and at the same time even though the military might have abandoned the base that didn't mean they would want any valuable properties to be destroyed by magical/demon beast.
Another thing that Anna didn't want to think about was the stargates and teleportation device being destroyed by the military themselves, due to being afraid their coordinates would be discovered and then trace back to their planet, the reason why she thought so was because that was how the celestial had used when they attack the symbiote universe
Of course, a different group of strong symbiote users or even a demon beast who was extremely strong and wanted to leave the grade 7 planet could also use the stargates and teleportation devices, although it was very expensive to build a stargate or teleportation device, but Anna was sure the military would choose to destroy them if they couldn't bring them back.
Another thing was someone at Anna's level although was strong wasn't considered very important at her HQ, if not for her dead captain who had a connection and was also strong himself, they wouldn't have been allowed in the first place to come to a grade 7 planet that was extremely dangerous.
Although it had given her captain and everyone of her now dead teammates more credit points than they could ever think of, at the same time it had also landed them in their early graves as well, regardless, now that they were now dead she couldn't do anything, even though she was eager to go back to her HQ to report the unfortunate incident, she also knew once she reported she would no longer be allowed to be an explorer and even if she was she would first be punished before being heavily restricted.
