CH.356 Install Experints
Over the next days, Wilma went almost crazy in the Factory. The unlimited access to legendary tals, the access to the knowledge my monsters have, as well as the altered ti inside the Factory led her to spend an absolute ton of ti there. To the point where I had to order her to spend so ti outside and with that ti, she made herself a super comfy chair she could sit on whenever she went to the Factory.
I then asked, actually ordered, her to make more of those chairs, just so Alice, Lua and I could have one each as well. Next ti, I’ll ask her to make a massage chair, though I prefer having Alice and Lua massage , not so chair, so maybe I shouldn’t.
There was also Wilma’s System Support. She nad him Claus, and while it did remind a bit of Santa Claus, especially considering how he looks, it apparently cos from so dwarven myth. His avatar in the Factory was a bit interesting. He was a giant man, easily over 220 cm7 feet 3 inch tall. He also had a long beard and hair, both nearly snow white.
From what Wilma told , Claus was her teacher back ho. He, like Wilma, was abnormally tall for a dwarf, and he had even evolved into a race called ‘Giant Dwarf’ that made him a literal giant among the dwarves. He was a highly skilled smith and very respected within the country of Smorog. … I just hope it won’t get awkward for Wilma if she goes ho to see her old teacher.
I still really liked him, especially his soothing voice. I think he has the perfect voice for storytelling, but that might be just . Actually, it isn’t just , because I know Fantasia has been sitting on his lap and listening to him talk about nothing a few tis.
There were good news coming with Wilma spending all that ti in the Factory. Thanks to her designing OP weapons, the catalog of them that I had access to had grown quite a bit. … Sadly manufacturing any of them would cost around a month's worth of HoBase ‘creation’ energy, so I’m not going to do that. But they were extrely OP, to the point where so of the weapons had effects like: ‘Damage done by slashing attacks ignores 99% of the target's defenses’ and ‘Unbreakable’.
The surprising part was that even with access to unlimited resources, Wilma still hadn’t managed to make a weapon that gives its wielder strength. I an, I expected it to be difficult, but I wasn’t expecting it to be that difficult.
Because I noticed how difficult it was, I made a quick test of my own. I made a Factory copy of one of the swords Wilma designed and installed a few cards into it. I started off with Fusion Sword Murasa Blade and it worked just fine. But because this was just a Factory copy and all I’d lose if the weapon breaks are the cards I’ve installed into it, which I’ll lose either way, I decided to keep going.

As the fifth install, which should be the limit, I added Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce. This caused an interesting phenonon, where the single greatsword split into two smaller swords. But they still all stayed intact and could be used, so … success?

“... wait? Did you say that you can help people gain skills?” Wilma asked.
“Yeah. I can do that. I an, I can level you up and level up your skills, so granting skills isn’t that big of a leap.” I reasoned.
“... well, I suppose not, but still. Do you have skill orbs or sothing?”
“Nope. Just my cards again.”
“... what kind of skill do you have?”
“The cheaty kind. Anyway, want to see what skills I can offer you?” I asked.
For Wilma, I had a few options. First was of course just Gaia Power. Wilma already had an affinity for Earth Magic, and she even had the skill, but Gaia Power should boost her affinity even more, thus reducing the mana cost of Earth Magic spells, as well as powering them up.
Spoiler

The next two were Fissure and Earthquake. They were both kind of in the sa vein as Gaia Power, but unlike Gaia Power, they would give Wilma new skills. Fissure turning into Earth Splitter skill and Earthquake giving a skill called Earthquake. Both are good battle disruption skills, but you don’t really need the skills, as you could do similar things with Earth Magic.

Of course there is always Hamr Shot, giving a skill called Massive Strike. It is an extra skill related to the Blunt Weapons Technique, which Wilma has the evolved form of, Hamr Technique. The skill allows for massively powerful strikes that cause massive damage.
Spoiler
[collapse]
There is also Ballista of Rampart Smashing, which would help Wilma get through enemies that are trying to defend against her strikes. It could be super effective, especially if combined with Fairy teor Crush.
Spoiler
[collapse]
And for sothing a bit more defensive, there was The Reliable Guardian and Block Attack. The Reliable Guardian of course turns into the Defense Boost skill, which is just a great filler skill to have, while Block Attack turns into the Block skill. Both are decent, but nothing crazy.
Spoiler
[collapse]
Then the last option was arguably the dumbest, because the skill it gives is… well, Cestus of Dagla, if installed into a person that can take it, produces a skill called Lifesteal. In simplicity, when you damage soone with an attack, you heal for so of the damage you dealt. At LV.1, it would just be 10%, but at LV.10, you heal for the sa amount of damage that you did. In all honesty, it is quite the powerful skill. Sadly, the only ones that can take the install are races that are sohow related to Fairies, or just regular humans. So from our crew, the only ones that can take it are myself, Cailie, Wilma and Karl. The beast-folk can’t take it, dhampirs can’t take it and even a dragon cannot take it, but for so reason, dwarves are ok. r-folk are also sohow related to Fairies apparently, but considering that Cailie quickly recognized a Water spirit, maybe there is a connection.

“So, which one do you prefer?” I asked Wilma.
“... that’s a lot of options.” She began. “... what do you think would be the most useful for ? Also, are there any skills related to crafting that you can give ?”
“Sorry, I haven’t found any crafting skills yet. There might be so, but I’d need more ti.”
“Then… can you give more than 1 skill?” Wilma asked.
“Yes, as long as it happens over ti. Each ti I install, that is what I call giving a skill by the way, a card into you, your body needs to adjust to the card. It takes anywhere from a few weeks to a few months based on the skill. And while you can have up to five cards your body is getting adjusted to, I don’t recomnd exceeding 3 as it gets quite painful. Also, I’ll order a minimum of 1 week between each install, just in case.”
“I see… so if you find a way to make a crafting skill, I’d have to wait a week for one?”
“Yes.” I confird.
“That … that’s not too bad.”
“Then do you want a skill now?” I asked.
“... I’ll think about it for a bit.” Wilma said.
Eventually, she wanted the Block Attack install, aka. the Block skill. She just said that she was more happy with shielding than attacking, so that is what she went for. So with a quick return to the real world, I gave Wilma the install. She actually took it quite well, considering that it was her first install.

I have to admit, I didn’t expect Wilma to go for that skill. Especially with how much I hyped up the Lifesteal skill. And even if she didn’t go for that, I was expecting her to take the Massive Strike skill. Well, maybe in the future.
And since Wilma’s new skill is now handled, I guess I’ll go over the few ideas I have for the others.
First for Unika there were two great choices. Shooting Star Bow - Ceal and Spell Shattering Arrow. You might think that Silver Bow and Arrow is also there, but Unika cannot take it, as it is a Fairy-type equip.
Spoiler
[collapse]
Shooting Star Bow - Ceal would give Unika a skill called Spirit Shot. It was a crazy skill that basically lets her shoot ‘ghost’ arrows that pierce anything and ignore all of the opponent's defenses, but it cos at the cost of having much lower power than her usual shots. But it is still extrely powerful when dealing with opponents that have a ton of defense.
Spell Shattering Arrow on the other hand makes the skill Spell Destroying Shot. It does what you assu. Her arrows could break apart magic. Both are honestly great skills, bordering on being cheaty. And if she didn’t feel either of them, she could always just take Molten Destruction for the fire attribute.
Spoiler
[collapse]
For Einar and Eline, I didn’t have as great of options, but I still ca up with two choices. Outside of just giving them so sort of Power of Defence Boost skill, or a magic attribute.
First was Darkness Approaches. With Einar already being a Night Cat-folk and Eline likely to follow, this would work well with their Night Stalking racial skill.
Spoiler
[collapse]
Darkness Approaches as a skill would make an area of darkness around the user, similar to Alice’s Shade spell. And with Night Stalking boosting all of Einar’s stats and senses in dark places, that should be super effective.
The second option was a bit more out there, and also a bit more dangerous, but I honestly think it might fit. It is called Dark World Lightning.
Spoiler
[collapse]
Again, I just think it would fit their Night Cat-folk race. Sure it is likely super dangerous, but it would be cool. Black cats with purple lightning.
Cailie was perhaps the most difficult one. I just … I’m not sure what way she wants to go, so I’ll have to ask her first. But maybe Raii for Lightning Magic? Rising Air Current to help her with Wind Magic. Power of Kaishin would also work for her. Even Misfortune could work, as it works decently with Cailie’s Charming Voice skill.
Spoiler
[collapse]
But let’s be honest here, the best install for Cailie would be Aqua Chorus. It would give her a skill that boosts the stats of every ‘friendly’ person who hears her song, while lowering the stats of ‘evil’ people who hear it.
Spoiler
[collapse]
I’m just not completely sure if Cailie wants a skill that activates when she sings. But those are so of the options everyone has for their installs, so perhaps it is ti to tell them all about it. … well, let’s wait until Eline evolves first. I’ll do it after that.
