BXBX NOVEL Chapter 153 Chimera-SGM
"Hmm, judging by the recoil I felt during the first weapon testing, I don't think my current physique will support the machine gun that just needs a couple of seconds to empty out the magazine.
Why worry about the aftereffects now. I already had the taste of weapon testing. Let her do it."
After loading it, the weight increased by a few kilograms. It became heavier. He quickly handed it to his beautiful assistant, "You know the requirements to clear the trial. Do it."
Alina nodded and followed the procedure with the weapon testing.
About five minutes later;
*Ding! You have completed all the tests. Place the weapon in the factory tab to receive assessment results.
He opened the Character menu and clicked on Mark's Factory. There was an extra option that appeared after he assembled the weapon for the first time.

Weapon Analysis

Every 24 hours, he can only spend 30 minutes of time in the factory. That's why he didn't spend too much time there apart from designing the weapon and giving the materials to the robot. During the rest of the time, the robot will work in the background.
Mark clicked on weapon analysis. A circle appeared on a new window. As soon as the weapon touched the screen, it disappeared from his hands and appeared as an image in the circle.
He pressed confirm.
The circle started to spin.
After nearly 30 seconds of deep analysis, it stopped and a result appeared in a new window.

Followed by the new window with results, a series of notifications arrived from the system.

*Ding! Mark's factory leveled up.
*Ding! You unlocked the Laser sighting system. Check the Gallery for details.
*Ding! You received an Emergency Quest, Make it public.
"Hmm? Emergency Quest?" He clicked on the notification as his curiosity took over his happiness of a successful result. He already knew about the experience beforehand. So, he was a bit less interested in that when compared to a sudden quest.
After all, Emergency Quests always give wonderful rewards.
Quest: Make it Public
Description: Sell the prototype to the system in order to make the weapon available for the public.
Reward: 10000 credits, weapon unlock
"Eh? I can do that?" Mark didn't expect that he can sell the model to the system so that it can replicate it and sell it through the store.
Until now, he had an assumption that the system might have some infinite storage filled with all the weapons that will be unlocked as he complete the equipment but now, it was clear that the system can mass-produce the new weapons that are created by him.
This made him go back to his first impression. Can the system make the weapons out of thin air?
Mark knew that he won't get the answer to that from the system. So, why should he waste the time and even get lectured in return?
Putting his thoughts aside, he just accepted the quest and confirmed with the system.
*Ding! As the creator, you can name it.
At first, Mark wanted to name it Tigon-3 but then, as he realized that it was different from the original model, he thought for a while and said, "System, I name it Chimera-SGM. Let this be the start of the Chimera series."
*Ding! Chimera-SGM has been added to Gallery. A price tag has been added.
*Ding! Chimera-SGM (ether) has been added to the Gallery. A price tag has been added.
*Ding! You completed the Emergency Quest.
*Ding! You unlocked Chimera-SGM. Check out the gallery for the details.
*Ding! You received 10000 credits as a reward.
"There's an ether version too?" Mark was visibly surprised by the system's action. "Great! Now, let's see how much it costs."
Mark opened the gallery right away and clicked on the normal weapon. His eyes lit up when he saw the price, "Woah, 1600 gold coins? That's the highest, so far, well, if I exclude the howitzer. Now, let's see the ether one."
There was an identical image beside the weapon but is grayed out. In excitement, he forgot that he cannot see the details of locked weapons and clicked on them.
Only after the reminder from the system did he realize the situation and just ask the system directly.
Before the system replies to upgrade it to know the details, he added, "I think it's fair for the creator to know the price and the details. Don't you think so, system? After all, you follow the law of exchange and fairness."
There was a brief silence from the system as if it was thinking about it. After a few seconds, he received a befitting reply.
*Ding! The host has yet to unlock any ether weapons. So, it is not fair to let know of the details of an ether weapon even if the host is the creator. The host will be informed after the first unlock of an ether weapon.
"Damn it." Mark's face turned red in embarrassment. He thought he could trap the system using its own words but unfortunately, it outwitted him.
"Alright, you win."
