Chapter 1280 - How Can This Be?
Without a moment to lose, Landon quickly opened his mission tab hastily.
But before the missions could open up, a strange notice tab popped up first.
[Notice: Before commencing, please accept the heavenly gifts bestowed on to the host.]
"_"
Blink. Blink.
Now he was confused. But thinking about the alien technology the system called about, these gifts should be it, right?
'Accept.'
[Permission granted. Due to the Host's acceptance, the system will transfer all knowledge of the gifts to the host's mind in 3... 2... 1... Brace yourself, host.]
Eh? Brace himself?
Landon was taken aback.
At this point, shouldn't he be used to recovering the host's usual level of pain every time he received or absorbed information?
So what was so different about this time?
Or could it be because of the alien tech?
In just this second alone, Landon's mind was filled with countless questions and guesses.
He honestly thought that the pain level wouldn't be too far off than what he typically received.
But how could he have known that the system was secretly trying to kill him?
F***!
What sort of pain was this?
.
'Grrrrrr~~
Landon's veins popped, and his entire body quaked from the daunting pain in his brain.
Like a spider that had successfully nestled its prey in its web, the pain seemed to wrap itself around Landon's entire body too.
His breathing speeded up, and even his great pores began releasing salty water from them.
But how could Landon give up without a fight?
Very quickly, he used more than 90% of his strength to stabilize himself as fast as he could, even though his brain felt like it was about to split into a million pieces.
Lucy was seated next to him, working on her documents. So he dared not allow her to notice his current state.
'Come on, man. Brace yourself!'
~Grrrrrr~~~
Landon bit his lips and clenched every muscle in his body while quickly absorbing all knowledge from the heavens.
And the more he assimilated, the more shocked and awed he was.
Everything lasted for just 5 seconds.
But to him, he seemed to have lived for a million years instead.
Pain. Pain. Pain.
This was the highest level of pain he had ever received, both in his past and present life.
F***!
Even getting hit by Truck-Kun wasn't this painful, alright?
The pain was so much that his entire body, including his models, were almost at their limit.
So if he dared to relax his guard, do you know how embarrassing the situation would be?
Landon couldn't help frowning hard.
'Note to self. Future Alien tech must be assimilated in private.'
Yes. He couldn't allow such an embarrassment to occur.
Of course, more than anything, he desperately wanted to release a long sigh from relief and express his glee for getting past this tough time.
Too bad Lucy was right beside him, so all he could do was bottle it all off.
.
Landon stealthily massaged his temples away from Lucy's corner eye while going over things once more.
It took another 4 minutes for his numb brain to settle down after the immense pain it received.
And the end result didn't disappoint Landon at all.
Tsk. Sure enough. Alien tech was indeed Alien tech.
Landon couldn't go marveling at both gifts he received.
[Gifts: Metal Enhancer Technology from the D-rated Planet Juangia, and a high-tier mechanical builder design from the D-rated planet Nebun.]
Landon was very pleased with the rewards.
However, something else shocked and bothered him too.
'Eh? D-rated planets? System, how could such awesome technologies be from D-rated planets? Is there some mistake somewhere?'
[Host. You seem to have forgotten that the current planet you are in is but a K-rank one. And even your former planet was at best an F-rank one. Worlds rank up to A-rank, before getting to the top-tier S, SS, and SSS rank ones. So to you, maybe these items are godly. But I assure you host; they're nothing to be so shocked about.]
Landon almost slapped his face in disbelief after realizing that the heavenly gifts he received were just casually gifted, to say the least.
But to an earthling like himself, this was just too great a technology to dismiss!
Lying trough.
So the earth was only an F-rank world?
He recalled that the system had once told him this. But because he hadn't particularly received any alien tech. He dismissed it.
However, after recovering these 2 godly gifts, he was taken aback because they came from D-rank planets.
To him, they were both Triple S-class and not D-ranked. So how can this radiation not shock him?
Now he wondered what those triple S-class worlds would look like.
Maybe to them, these D-class goods are ancient and old-fashioned instead.
Nonetheless, Landon was still eased and satisfied with the gifts he received.
That is, it might be trash to those in the upper worlds.
But to him, these goods were no doubt heavenly and would make things a whole lot faster from now on.
.
Of course, Landon was shocked again by the mere fact that he arrived in a K-class world.
Then those worlds that were still in the stone age or way further back in the prehistoric times should be far worse than this K-world, right?
Too shocking!
Suddenly, he felt a little sorry for any taskers who were set back to those pre-historic times in hopes of developing the place.
That is, wouldn't their work be heavier to deal with than his?
Pity. Pity.
Hopefully, they have nicer systems to accompany them instead.
Landon shook his head wryly.
Well, there was no use thinking of these things any further.
At least for now, he still had his missions to complete. And that was getting the alien tech built A.S.A.P.
But what exactly were these in techs?
They might look simple, and many who don't understand might be disappointed by these seemingly simple-named Technologies.
But what if he said that now he could build sturdier but lighter planes in just under a month?
And… what if he said that part of the technology also involved levitation?
