"Wh-what? *yawn* What is happening?" Arnold said in a sleepy voice. "Let me sleep will you?"

Arnold closed his eyes once again and tried to sleep but...

"Master, I've completed the task." Talos informed Arnold in its electronic voice.

"Can't a man- WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?"

Arnold opened his eyes again and saw that Talos was pointing a gun at him. He immediately jumped off the bed and took out the [VINDICATOR] from his and pointed his guns at Talos.

"According to the internet, stimuli such as fear is a great way to cause an adrenaline rush, which then fills the human body with energy. I found this to be a suitable method to wake you up." Talos replied and placed the gun in the holster he had made. "I've completed my task."

"YOU SON OF A BI*CH, DON'T YOU DARE POINT A GUN AT ME AGAIN!" Arnold shouted not letting go of his guns, "GO TO STANDBY MODE AND STAY LIKE THAT TILL I ORDER YOU TO MOVE."

"Request acknowledged... going into idle mode..." Talos replied as the white glow in its eyes vanished.

"F*cking idiot. How the hell did he even managed to access the internet?" Arnold shook his head and opened his interface, the notification popped open once again.

___

"So Talos actually managed to replicate the blueprint." He mumbled and opened the stat window for the newly developed weapon.

___

• [?????] : A light handgun which is derived from the [VINDICATOR] and can cause quite some damage. The recoil from the gun isn't as much as the it's predecessor.

Grade : C

Damage : 80-95 (physical)

Overload : 4 minutes

Cooldown : 10 seconds

Range : 32 meter

Ammo Type : Enchanted bullets/mechanically produced shells

Magazine Capacity : 36 (18 each)

Weight : 1.6 kg

Additional skill : [PETTY SHOT] - Deals additional 8% damage when the target is closer than 15 meters.

<Use the forge function to learn and convert the blueprint into weapon>

___

Arnold carefully analysed the pros and cons of Talos' creation. For starters it wasn't half bad. It had decent damage, not much but decent. As the time taken for the gun to overload was longer, it could shoot more bullets than the [VINDICATOR] and the time for it to cooldown was also much smaller, thus making it even better. The weight was less, which reduced the recoil. That was about all of the pros the new blueprint had.

As for the cons, the range and damage of the gun were lesser than that of the [VINDICATOR], even the skill effect would cause only 8% additional damage.

But the pros overshadowed the cons, and the blueprint was definitely a successful knockoff of the [VINDICATOR]. But what should he name it? He wasn't going to name it vindicator junior...

"How about... Detractor?"

___

Naming successful.

[DETRACTOR] blueprint has been added.

___

"I better get ready to leave now. Talos, wake up. We have to go." The automaton came to life and walked up to Arnold. "I'll go and get ready, meanwhile you, my friend, clean the room and after you're done with it, make some ammunition for your gun."

"Master, I can't access the 'elder' and request for supplies." Talos replied.

"Just who is this elder you keep talking about?" Arnold asked.

"The one who resides within you. You refer him as 'System' and sometimes as 'System-sama'."

"Okay okay, just clean the room. I'll take care of the ammunition."

Arnold was in a hurry, so he didn't question him anymore but just when he was about to leave, another notification popped up on the interface.

"Three thousand EXP to level up one subclass? You gotta be kidding me!" Arnold smacked his head, "And here I was thinking, I'd be able to upgrade a subclass by at least 5 levels... if I have to choose a subclass to upgrade, I think the choice is clear."

Without any hesitation, Arnold dumped 6000 EXP to level up his <Blood Maniac> subclass twice.

________________________

"A mana moulding ability! Finally, I can stop investing my precious potential points to increase the mana." Arnold was ecstatic, his mana was increased by 1850 points at once! He was feeling very lucky maybe lady luck would continue to bless him inside the dungeon as well. He couldn't contain his excitement and quickly got dressed and left along with Talos.

*****

"You're late." Nina complained. Joshua, Orla and give other people were joining Arnold for the trip. "Is that the robot you were making?"

"Sorry sorry, something came up all of a sudden and yes, this is Talos." Arnold said, scratching the back of his head. "So everybody ready? Great then let's move out."

Just as Arnold was about to get into the car his phone went off.

"Who is calling me now... Hello? Oh hi Nathan, you want something?"

"Where are you?" Nathan's voice came through the speaker.

"I'm about to leave to clear a dungeon along with Nina and the others." he replied.

"No you're not. Father wants me to start your training today." Nathan said with a sense of authority in his voice.

"Can't we do it after we return?"

"You want to train or not?"

"Fine Fine, no need to increase your blood pressure. I'm coming." Arnold said and disconnected the call. "Sorry guys, Nathan needs me for something so I'll have to go."

"What? But you already confirmed that you'd come with us." Nina mumbled.

"What can I say? You saw he just called me..."

"It's okay. You can leave, we'll manage somehow." Joshua intervened.

"You know what? Talos go along with them and here take some bullets with you." Arnold mumbled and handed Talos some pre-made icy bullets.

"Alright then let's go." Joshua said and drove off.
