7 Requesting for Materials
And so my surprise birthday party commenced, the itself party wasn't some grand celebration for im not important in the eye's of the nobility, unlike my little sis who was the one in line to the throne, but i was satisfied with it, at least i got family here.
"Happy Birthday my boy!"
My father said as he messed with my hair, it hurt, but its as though i can feel his love pass to me through such an intimate action, i felt warmed and loved.
"Thanks pa"
"Hahaha, ok, what do you want this year, you always make a request rather than a gift, last year you just wanted to get out to the city, what is it this year, don't hold nothing back make it big!"
The former used to make requests at his birthday, as said, at his 5th birthday the prince requested just to get out of to the city, at his 4th he requested an allowance of 100 gold per month and at his 3rd he requested a toy, he didn't make a request at his 2nd for he was still stupid then. Using a request to powerful parents that can get you anything in the world for a toy is quite wasteful but that's in the mindset of a grown-up, in that of a child's it totally makes sense!
"Pa, i need materials, i want to make something!"
"Materials to make something eh, that's easy, i'll lead you to the royal storehouse to get anything you need!"
"There's such a convenient place?!"
"Of course, follow me after the party"
"Pa's the best!"
"Hahaha, i know right?"
"What are you boy's talking about?"
At this point mother joined in the conversation.
"Nothing, just asking Jun what he would like this year"
"Oh, what did he want?"
"He's thinking of making something so he wants some materials to do it, so i'll be leading him to the storehouse later"
"Making something?"
My mother tilted her head in confusion while turning her head to look at me.
"It's a secret!"
"Oh ok, a secret is it?"
Then she just smiled while shaking her head and then gave me a pouch.
"Your allowance"
"Ma's better!"
Pa then gave a resentful glare at mother, while she just smiled and nodded contently.
"Come, let's eat"
"Yes!"
And the rather small but festive otherworld birthday of mine went on for an hour, honestly it was just like any ordinary meal with the exception of that the meals are my favorite food's, sour soup, sweet sauced pasta and fruit salad. Man, the former and i have a lot of similarities don't we?
And thus an hour later the party ended, mother was particularly busy today but she made way just for me, ahhhh, im so loved. And true to his word, dad took me to the storehouse while Vivian tagged along. We went outside to the courtyard and walked near the flower garden while following a dirt path until we arrived at our destination.
"This is the Royal Storehouse, a place to keep spare and scrap material that could still be of some use, some are rare materials but are too small to be used for anything, the real valuable stuff are at the Royal Vault, but this thing's should be enough for what your making"
When we arrived at the storehouse, Pa started talking about the purpose of the building.
*Creak
Opening the door i can see a lot of things set in order while the interior seems to be cleaned regularly.
"The first section of the storehouse is the monster remains were used on experiments that ended in failure, for example, this blob was once a part of a King slime, it is cut, blunt, heat, cold and magic resistant while also being flexible and really comfortable to touch"
"Wouldn't that make great light armor pa?"
I asked confused as to why such a great thing be in the storehouse.
"It would have been, but we can't manipulate it's shape so we can't make it into armor, such a shame really"
'System, can you do it?' i mentally conversed with the system.
(Easy Host)
'Ok'
"Dad, i want that, please!"
"Hmm, sure, might as well let you have it than let it sit here to collect dust, just come back for anything you need"
"You're the best!"
Dad smiled, then continued to explain each every item, it continued for a while with nothing catching my eye, Vivian also joined in by asking for some things she thought interesting and dad gladly gave it to hear. Until another thing caught my eye.
"This is the tusk of a Tar'janni Rhino, it's tougher than steel, a fourth the weight but it's only other special quality is to absorb any impact"
(Host, i suggest getting this tusk, it can significantly lessen recoil and thus significantly improve accuracy)
"Mm"
I answered with a nod.
"This little piece of wood, is called Whisper Wood"
"I don't hear anything, Vivian?"
Confused by the name and not hearing anything i turn to look at my little sister.
"Me too"
"Now, now watch me, im gonna scream in the top of my lungs"
Before we could respond, dad was already screaming, well, he looked to be screaming but all we actually heard was a whisper.
"*Panting, hear anything?"
My sister and i and looked at each other for a moment before simultaneously shaking our head's.
"That's special property of this wood, it absorbs sound"
"What is it used for, dad?"
Vivian innocently asked.
"Ahem, ahem, i-it's used as walls for places you wouldn't want to hear anything from, you'll know when your older"
Dad started coughing violently, then said with a slightly blushed face, 'Jokes on you dad, i know completely well what you are talking about, but that's not important this thing is a natural suppressor!' i thought as i realised the potential of that tiny block of wood.
"Mm, anyway this thing is quite rare for it's sale is tightly regulated and even we royals could only buy a room's worth of it, all thats left is this tiny piece and this 2×4 that's half an inch thick"
'I can use the 2×4 for the heels of my boots for stealth missions' i thought as i drew up a plan on how to use the wood in my head. After that i kept searching for other materials to make my gun, but then i discovered an important discovery through a mental conversation with the System.
'You mean you can just convert materials into different materials'
(Yes)
So, what your saying is that you can turn a block of wood into gun'
(Yes)
'Then why the fuck am i searching for materials to make a gun when i could just pick some random stump and boom get a gun?!'
(I asked if you wanted to customize and i simply forgot, and plus i can't make fantasy material i'm a scientific System)
'I really Wish, i could Beat you right now!'
(...Sorry)
