Chapter 57 - 55. experience farm,speed running dungeons.

By the time micah returns with a simple but hearty meal, a beef stew with extra meat, Silver's preference having extra protein. He finds her, knees drawn up and an art book in her hands, within is beautiful renditions of machines he had not seen before, literal blueprints drawn from memory and placed on paper, while she had been good at it before, this is nearly 3d in style and as if sensing his thoughts she speaks, answering the in asked question. "The prosthetic is both very sensitive and quite capable, though its metal, it has a better sense of touch then my real arm ever did." She flips the page, revealing something, at first he couldn't recognize it, having not spent much time studying machines, but the title of it catches his eye, sub-dermal healing device. 'What?' He thinks, only to receive an answer, which is starting to weird him out a bit. "Its a tiny bot that uses ambient mana and any available material even dead or removed flesh to well act like a healer and patch up the 'patient' its not the most complex thing, nor is it the fastest method to heal but couple with natural regeneration rates, it can take some strain off healers and worry off fighters and i can design some to have a definite unit system so even fatal blows may not be that fatal, just depends on how much is left of you." She finishes explaining her fingers tracing the images as if guiding him through the diagram, but it did clear up why it looked so foreign, its not modern tech, its more cutting edge if anything. "Eat, then draw more or...whatever you were doing* he says, before taking a seat on the edge of the bed, his shoulders sagging as if the exhaustion of the last few days are catching up to him.But the soft clink of the spoon against the bowl at least lets him relax, and before long he didn't realize he dozed off until the bed shifted, and silver is sneaking out the door, empty bowl in hand. He quickly gets up to chase after her, only for her tiny body to outpace him by a lot, reaching the kitchen, tossing the bowl, only to vanish out the door in a trail of purple and red with him leaving him following behind, unaware that his own stats got a bump without his notice, but he follows her finding she went into her workshop and throne room, only to come skidding to a halt, Silver is perched on her throne giggling as she watches him, seeming as if she had been there the whole time, but thats beside the point, the giggle lowered his guard, usually she doesnt act like a school girl, or really a girl at all, so he found it pleasant, though completely surprising. "What uh...wh-what are you up to now?" He finally asks, but her gaze never left his, her eyes seeming more like a predator tracking prey than any human gaze. "Nothing, just testing things, well testing you, but thats a thing too no?" She replies after a few moments, shifting slowly, her mana spreads. When it reaches him, he shivers as if a hand had softly ran down his back, his glare at silver as if he knew she was the culprit despite having not moved, but in the next instance metal throughout the room floats over, reshaping and melting until a second throne is made beside her own, a smirk resting on her lips as she speaks up. "A king deserves a throne even if he doesnt rule himself." He approaches cautiously, this new side of her putting him more on edge than ever before,as he lowers himself in his throne. No sooner as he gets comfortable he gets yet another shock as silver abandoned her own throne, choosing to curl up in his lap, short circuiting his brain for a moment as he is staring at the single scariest thing he had ever known and it's acting cute and being girly and flirty to him. But, alas that's all she does, simply got comfortable as if she had done it thousands of times before. Now comfortable, she summons enyo the massive bear like mecha machine, and no sooner as they are summoned does she get to work, ripping the massive weapons from the Ai's frame, and remodeling the integral parts as she starts to speak. "I was a bit overzealous with your model, I wish to revise you and have you be more defensive focused and have an over abundance of mana that you can use to link to damaged or depleted units, to act sort of like a medic amongst myself and your soon to be battalion." Silver says as an all new system is being built using parts of several schematic prints she gleaned during her earlier deep dive in the city, tiny coils slowly form and coat the surface of Enyos armored shell, flickering fainting as the power couplings connect and a partial mini Dyson sphere is built in the empty hole left behind from the ammo and weapon system mounts that are now missing, when she is done, a bear now faintly flickering with a very dangerous seeming electricity over its surface is revealed, though the bear is still massive it's turned into even more of a tank, the new defensive matrix is an unexplored technology and for all intents and purposes a prototype, she has now clue of its full capability other than it can produce high voltage shocks to melee attackers and that it now has the ability to 'jolt' teammates, giving them a boost of mana to repair. And soon, she engages in conversation as metal is reformed, devices are built in surplus and sensors and weapons from the remaining piles are dragged over. "Its time we focus on gaining levels and clearing dungeons for some city wealth, I have every plan to send a surge of units into all surrounding dungeons, I want you micah, to take and deny up the dungeons among the party here and have them all start leveling up as fast as possible...I want them in dungeons 5 days a week. Including you and me...well technically I'll be in every dungeon every day all day but I want everyone gaining levels, only when we are as strong as the forces that will come to us will we be able to live for us. Any objections?" At that she turns looking up at the slack jawed male, his gaze shifting between her, enyo and the slowly building army, small wolf and feline like creatures some seeming to be melee units while others have strange sniper like weapons on their back, the astonishing thing is she built so many at once as if she weren't even thinking so hard on it, granted she wasn't. Having left them as more dummy bots they don't have their own core Ai like enyo or tyr just a basic combat and friend foe targeting system, she is also creating 'blue chips' which can be handed out to mark people as friendly to these 'dumb' bots, but the main ai cores can also override and control them as commanders as needed."uhhh...no no problems...so you're just going to flood the dungeons with these?Just a mass wave huh?" He says looking around, almost gleeful, why? Because if he knows anything about their potential, it means he is about to have the easiest dungeon runs in history especially as some of them that get crafted have neither weapons nore claws but huge storage packs on it.and like that the two burn another night creating an army out of leftover materials from all the vehicles she scrapped, and micah organizes everyone, even the blind witch is given her own mission, and everyone departs literal armies splitting and covering every direction from the city, anytime a dungeon is discovered,her army serves deep and it doesnt take long before a resting particular neko starts getting notifications coming in. DING you've leveled up! And shortly after another one, two in a day at her level? It means her army is rampaging in low and mid tier dungeons, by noon several mule bots had to return and empty their packs,ores rare mana stones and artifacts slowly refilling the chamber.
