CH.351 Impossible Jobs and Evolutions
I spent the next morning in the Factory handing out installs like they were candy on halloween. I got a reasonably long list of monsters that had bet that Nel is Nevelle, and I owed all of those monsters an install. Sure there was an almost equally long list of monsters that had bet against that fact, but Endy only told about it after the fact, because he was on the ‘Nel is Nevelle’ camp and wanted to get on board. But I was against it, even if I ended up being wrong.
But you can’t really bla , can you? Who on Earth would assu there is a skill that lets you split yourself into two? And let’s be honest here. It is in my interest to give my monsters installs. With each install, they get more powerful, and by extension I get more powerful.
The most interesting part was learning who were on team ‘Nel is Nevelle’ and who were with on the ‘No chance’ team. I suppose there were also plenty of monsters that just didn’t take part, but that is on them.
After I was done handing out rewards, I went to the Factory control platform so I could work with the item developer there for a bit. I had a little project I wanted to finish. It was sothing that would require either a lot of HoBase cheating, or a bit of HoBase cheating combined with a lot of hard labor by Wilma and Karl. And I wanted to hand it over to Wilma and Karl, as soon as the blueprint for it was finished, so I made sure I had the blueprint perfect before I returned to the real world and headed for the HoBase workshop.
“So, what do you think? How impossible is it?” I asked.
“Completely.” Karl said. “But still sohow doable.”
“Yes. I think we can still do it.” Wilma agreed. “I an, I don’t think it will succeed, but we can follow this plan to a T, so if the plan works, it should be successful.”
“Do your best. I know you can do it.” I told the two.
The job I had given them was both nearly impossible and deceptively easy. It was turning titanium into star titanium. And then making a sword out of star titanium.
Star titanium is one of the highest grade of tals in this world, equal to things like orichalcum, adamantite and void uranium. I could make any of them with HoBase, but they are extrely expensive to make, so I really don’t want to. So instead I ca up with a theory. Steel blood makes vampiric steel. Sa goes for iron blood making blood iron. Sure there is so Blood Magic or True Blood Magic involved, but the components are simple.
So, and this was the theory, if blood and iron make blood iron, will an Ursa Major’s claw, which is basically Space Magic attributed, and so titanium, which has a much more reasonable production cost with the Chaos God Core, make star titanium. That was the theory. Mix space attributed monster material and titanium, while an avatar doll with Cosmo Queen or Different Dinsion Master uses Space Magic to hopefully help with the process.
I had my monsters, overseen by Laura, test the theory. And it succeeded in the Factory, so now I was bringing it to real life. Sure there is that ‘real life room’ of the Factory where it could be done, but I want to know if Wilma and Karl can do it. Because if they can, that would be really amazing.
Sadly, the amount of Ursa Major material that I have is limited. So after I run out of that, we’ll need a substitute. Laura and my monsters are looking into that, but there are other materials I want to learn how to make as well. The three legendary tals ntioned above are definitely a part of that.
Then when we learn how to make all four of them, we can start working on so OP weaponry, without having to worry about the HoBase production costs. I just need to figure out a more sustainable source of sothing like titanium. If I can get it without HoBase, that would be for the best. Sadly, I’m not even sure where to start, but maybe the dwarves will know. Maybe I should take Wilma and visit her ho. I can maybe bribe them into revealing so cool stuff. I an, in theory, I can just install one of my nurous equip-spells into a sword to make a sword that gives strength to the wielder and that might already get them to my side. If I recall correctly, Wilma said that no regular weapon will give its wielder strength, and with my equips I can make so.
Well, let’s worry about that after my current project is done. Or I can even install an equip-spell into the star titanium blade if Karl and Wilma manage to make one.
“Brian. Einar has begun to evolve.” Ria ran up to and inford of so good news.
Yes, I knew it was possible that Einar would evolve, as he did get to level 40, and with evolutions being more common for beast-folk, I was sowhat hoping he might evolve before 50. Eline was still LV.39, so no worries with her.
“Alright. Is he already being taken to the dbay?” I asked.
“Yes.” Ria confird.
“Good. Let’s go there too. I need to set up the evolution tank.” I told Ria. “Give your hand. I’ll teleport us there.” I told her, as I offered her my right arm, and Ria took a hold of it. I then quickly used Dungeon Founder to teleport us to the dbay, while I also quickly confird where Einar was and how long it would take for him to arrive in the dbay.
The evolution tank was already installed in the dbay, but it wasn’t quite ready to go. It lacked one last thing, the diluted healing potion it will be filled with. The potion put inside of the tank was a mix of Red and Blue dicine, diluted down to sothing that was nearly useless as a potion. But since you’d be subrged in it for a long ti, it needed to be quite weak or bad things could happen.

I quickly filled the separate tank that would hold the healing liquid, while I also opened the healing tank. Then just under a minute later, Eline and Maya appeared, Maya carrying Einar in her arms.
“M-Master? You are here already?”
“Yes. Ria got . Put him here.” I told Maya, pointing at the healing tank.
“Yes.” Maya answered and quickly laid Einar inside the evolution tank.
I then went ahead and attached the breathing mask on him, as well as a few sensors, before I closed the lid on the evolution tank and activated it. After I did, the stand-by healing liquid began making its way into the tank where Einar now was.
“M-master. Will he be alright?” Maya asked when she saw the fluid begin to engulf Einar.
“He’ll be fine.” I answered. “The mask on his face will make sure he can breathe. Besides, that liquid is diluted healing potion. You can’t actually drown in it, even if you tried.”
That is actually true. Even with the low composition of actual healing potion in the liquid, if you just attempted to drown yourself in that liquid, the liquid would heal you faster than drowning would drain your HP. So you basically couldn’t die from breathing in that liquid. It would still hurt like hell, so I wouldn’t recomnd trying it, but it was safe in that way.
And with the sensors the evolution tank had, it would imdiately pull the healing liquid out if there was any sign of the person inside breathing in the liquid. And the mask can also pull fluids out of the lungs, so as long as it could be put back on the person, it would clean the fluid out of their lungs and they would be able to breathe again. I did try to make the tank as safe as possible after all, but I will admit that there is a chance I overlooked sothing and that sothing will go wrong, so I made sure that soone would stay to watch over Einar at all tis. I’d also get a ssage in Dungeon Founder if sothing goes wrong with the tank, and from there, Laura could instantly warn , and I could co over.
I of course told all of this to Eline, Maya and Ria. Well, Ria knew of it already, because she was the one that experienced the ‘drowning’ in the healing liquid. Don’t bla , she volunteered saying that: “Brian can keep an eye on my HP because I’m his slave.” I probably would have tested it on one of my monsters otherwise.
After I was sure everything was fine with Einar, I left the dbay. Both Eline and Maya decided to stay there for now at least, and I let them. If they worry about Einar that much, they won’t get any work done in the first place, so they can just take it easy. I did remind Eline that she should take care of Lumi while Einar is evolving though.
But soon after leaving the dbay, another person ran up to . Raging Eria, who had been working as Endy’s assistant today, ca to and told that I was needed in the office.

Not so sure about Cressida telling Prince Elias sothing, but I was planning on inviting Prince Elias to HoBase’s grand reveal anyway, so even if he learns sothing, it will be fine.
But still. A double evolution out of … well, this isn’t really nowhere, but still. I wasn’t expecting that. I hope both Mariina and Einar will be fine after their evolutions and hopefully both of them will evolve into races they’ll like.
