The Gene Gamer

Chapter 28: Laughing Mask

After disposing the corpses, he went to his room to decorate it.

"A.I. show me the price for every 'Additional building'" a beep sound came out and the same holographic image popped up in his sight. On it, there were various buildings with prices attached to them. He saw pools, a gaming room, artificial sun, night mode, and many more.

Night and day mode were self explanatory, they would be just showing holographic images that look vivid, the artificial sun would be creating a false energy source that would have the same effects a real sun would have.

A grade apartments were large, two floors high. At the start, it would be just plain simple but with points, it could be turned into something completely different.

The owners could change it completely into a gaming apartment itself or a high-class luxury apartment.

Before he was thinking about turning it into a gaming apartment but there were changes to him.

He was fine with the simple and plain room he has. But adding a pool could be useful as he could sometimes get in it and daze off, it also had the additional effect of relaxing the muscles.

"A.I. add pool over here"

"Confirmed. Total cost 130 points... deducting. Done" Right as the sentence ended ground gave way and water came gushing into it. He was instantly soaked but he didn't move and just laid there.

Oxygen wasn't a problem for him as he felt that since he had turned gray his need for oxygen decreased and with only lifeforce, he could survive.

With the lifeforce within him, he could definitely survive for quite some time.

His eyes were wide open, looking at the ceiling while being in the water, he thought about the current situation.

'Even if I'm able to suppress Farold for now, he is undoubtedly a threat if his second gene awakened. It's possible that right away once his second gene had awakened he could put up a fight against me.' This was terrifying, Cylius's current strength was undoubtedly the first if there weren't any unexpected situations.

With his current strength, he could defeat Farold within one minute at most, and that's considering he had made a breakthrough in his gene.

'Fanton, Haler these two are also a problem. They are very powerful, and I'm sure that they have already made a breakthrough. Fanton can be considered an ally but Haler is definitely an enemy, before I saw her and Farold being together, the attraction force of the main character is indeed fearsome but I can't eliminate this threat because of the protection of the space ship. I can only bet my luck on the future enemies he will have' He tried to sigh but only water bubbles came out of his mouth.

After thinking about some other problems, he got out of the pool and ordered the A.I. for a uniform, the uniform was black in color with purple stripes and it was flexible with a letter B on it.

This was the uniform of the entire B section and every trainee of it had to wear it. Apparently it was dividing the trainees, its purpose was of course to make the trainees compete with each other.

With the identification, trainees of the same section were more likely to trust each other, and the groups in the section are also likely to plunder other section's trainees.

The reason was that if the groups were to bully people in the same section they could attract public anger in the section and proceed to eliminate them.

But if they plundered other section's trainees then they couldn't move in a great number as once they did the trainees of the other section would also retaliate.

Recently he was also hearing about the Section B Association Red Dragon and it was actively seeking Section B's trainees to join them.

From the name, it could be obviously said that Farold was the President. He wasn't interested in joining as he alone was powerful enough. The other seven section also had associations of their own too but only the Holy Light Association and the Aqua Bubble Association could stand up to the Red Dragon Association, namely the C and H section.

Fanton was the same as him a loner, while Haler and Daris had created their own Association.

Coming out of his room he went to the Exchange Hall to look for some useful things. After some time he found a mask that attracted his attention. The mask was said to be made out of pure metal and some other material that could let the person who is wearing the mask to see through it but not others mixed in it, it could defend against some hidden attacks.

Its only feature was its laughing mouth, with no holes for eyes. But there was no need as the owner could see through from the inside. He bought it, as he felt more assured by it.

He liked the mask personally too. His name was infamous within the section now because of the 'pleasure seeking incident' where he tortured a person and killed a group.

Well in the eyes of others it was justified but the screaming and the gory scene paired with his cold eyes had made people terrified.

A robot delivered the mask to him and after he checked that it had no danger, one that at least he detected, he wore the mask immediately. The mask was smooth and cold to the touch, after he wore it he immediately felt cold, the mask radiated coldness. He immediately took a liking to this mask.

He guessed the material to be Revolving Cold Metal. The metal was said to be found on meteors and it had the innate ability to radiate coldness, it wasn't possible for a normal fire to melt the metal and its defense was also decent.

Usually, this type of material was expensive but the mask only had a small portion of it so the mask wasn't too expensive.

He went to his own room while wearing the mask, he wasn't the only one who wore masks so he wasn't too conspicuous and people would also not bother with him too much.

A month later, an announcement was made throughout the whole space ship. And it created a huge turmoil.

"Attention. Attention trainees. All trainees are to come to their own Section Hall within ten minutes. If not come within the time limit the trainee is to be executed on the spot immediately. Repeat, all trainees are to come to their own Section Hall within ten minutes. If not come within the time limit the trainee is to be executed on the spot immediately."

Right as he was meditating in his apartment the loud announcement was made, he opened his eyes immediately, his eyes shining with a glint.
