Chapter 17: Resurrection tool, exchange!!
Resurrection tool, exchange!!
Sheyan leaned against the wall to rest. After a while, Reef carried a gust of wind as he plunged his butt beside him. With a rather ecstatic voice, he lauded.
“Boss! We really need to stake everything in this time! I say this damned world has such a scary difficulty level, but the items we can exchange for are equally great! Hurry up and take a look!”
Currently, Sheyan had raked in massive exploitations from his supporting adventure. His offense wasn’t considered strong, thus, he frequently couldn’t obtain the contribution rewards of dealing the final finishing blow to enemies. However, countless contestants couldn’t shy away from the bonuses of his supporting gene-mixes! Every time they killed something, Sheyan chiseled away at their contributions!
Although individually it didn’t amount to much, the accumulated total was astonishing. Sheyan’s battle contribution rate had discretely ranked amongst the bests of the contestants, totalling more than 8,000 RDA battle contribution points. Something worth noting was that all contestants seemed to possess an ‘amicable’ relationship with the RDA company; it had no relations to battle contributions whatsoever.
When the contestant crowd surrounding the 5 RDA workers significantly lessened, Sheyan finally strolled over, requesting for the list of purchasables. The workers initially looked at Sheyan with abhor, probably due to his low charm. However, after realizing something about Sheyan, they gasped in astonishment.
“So it is actually Mr Lieutenant! Sir, I’ve heard about your legendary adventures before……wow, your contributions to the company are exceptionally generous. Please don’t worry, we will definitely provide suitable discounts for interesting merchandise.”
Sheyan nodded, the menu list exhibited fully in a flurry. The foremost display was a long list of warning:
Research Development Administration disclaimer notice:
Announcement.
Home base earth planet exploration regulations, no. 2311 and no. 3188 states:
The Research Development Administration cannot hire active military personnels as their armed fighters.
Exploring squad members cannot use weapons of mass destruction. Only high technology weapons of 50 years ago can be used for battles in foreign celestial bodies.
Weapon based aircrafts cannot exceed the latest model of the Aerospatiale SA-2 Samson, and the Scorpion Gunship (Aircraft).
Every weapon is programmed to be unable to inflict harm onto humankind.
………..
The list of disclaimers, was due to the RDA company’s motive of planet exploration and not starting a war. To preserve the safety of their workers, they had to employ armed fighters. Apart from that, the RDA company was already an extremely powerful company. Therefore, in order to prevent the RDA from further technological advances and amassing greater military influence, the Earth government had prevented them from using weapons of mass destruction.
Thus, the armed fighters employed were still stuck in the era of Star Trek, still utilizing regular chemical based bullets and ordinary rifles. They weren’t even allowed laser guns, needless to say space tanks, obliteration warships and other heavy space weaponry; because these didn’t belong to antiques of the 21st century. The best they had was the ‘Amplified Mobility Platform (AMP suits)’ , the robots seen in the movie. However, that too was also a distant descendant of first military exoskeleton used by Earth in the mid-21st century. Which goes to say, during the timeline of the movie itself, every mechanics involved were historic goods of the previous century.
Sheyan skimmed through everything, as he hurriedly browsed the menu. Even though he was already mentally prepared, he couldn’t help exclaiming in surprise. For some unknown reasons, the RDA company actually exhibited every single available merchandise in their menu, from items to equipments, to recipes to unknown strange objects. Only, a striking font marked out the purchasing requirements behind each segment.
As for Sheyan, his attention was locked onto the bottom few items, it was obvious these were the powerful objects that Reef mentioned.
Integrated animal controlling technique case: Pandora is host to many savage and hostile creatures; however, humans discovered that Na’vi’s are able to easily tame some. Afterward, it was discovered that Na’vi’s external nervous system is linked to the outcome of taming creatures.
After analyzing the Na’vi’s nervous architecture along with the creatures of Pandora, human scientists have invented a Mental control device, to tame the creatures. During their experiments, scientists have successfully controlled the Direhouse, Hammerhead Titanothere, Sturmbeest and various creatures. But till now, scientist are still unable to control the primitive vicious instincts of Viperwolves and the Thanator; only simple controlling reactions are recorded. However, due to the reliability and unpopular nature of these inventions, current research had been stalled.
This Integrated case is an affiliated product of said research. Upon using, there is a chance of controlling the aforementioned creatures (And ordinary animals). Maximum usage of 3 times before exhausting its capabilities.

Upon seeing that, Sheyan instantly understood why Reef was so fascinated! This ‘Unmodeled Amnio Tank’, actually contained a resurrection ability that all contestant’s yearned for even in their dreams. Besides, its valuation was only a mere 20,000 battle contributions! One must understand, slaying a legendary creature already granted 1,000 battle contribution. Moreover, ordinary beasts covered the earth and the skies……
After seeing this, Sheyan instantly asked Reef if contribution points could be traded! However, the answer he received was ‘no’.
“Indeed that is so.” Sheyan pondered as he nodded.
Following that, he browsed through the menu list again, and very blatantly traded all his 8,000 contribution point! Strictly speaking, through hard work the next day, he could very easily save up 20,000 RDA battle contributions. At most, he could still exchange them for an AMP suit! Instead, Sheyan had squandered it all without hesitation.
He procured the following items:
Hydra Armour: Its name derived from the series of protrusions at its waist. It is favourably light, enhanced toughness while preserving high mobility. Because of its focused design, it can reduce the damage dealt by Pandora creatures by 30%, and raise your movement speed on Pandora; it also has a pre-installed oxygen mask.”
During its course of designing, many factors were considered in. Therefore, this hydra armour can be pasted over your armour surface.
Valuation: 5,000 (4,500) RDA battle contributions: Unable to be brought out of this world.
*********
Nail gun: This is a highly precise, long range firearm. Its body is long, and its speciality lies in its bullet composition of titanium; allowing its nails to pierce most types of heavy armour. Its primary use is in destroying vehicles and other equipment/devices. Of course, it can be used to deal with various armoured creatures of Pandora.
In view of this weapon’s astonishing weight and recoil, you must have at least 30 points of strength to utilize it. Damage power of 100 – 140 points. Neglects 50% of defence.
Infrared laser, accuracy target device (Add on): With this precious object, even if your aiming is horrendously indescribable, you can turn into a 100 shot-100 hit gun deity. What you need to do is something even a 5 year old kid can manage; aim that lethal red dot towards your desired target, and press the trigger…….
