I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse



She then tried to scam a few bones in return for coins, and he also refused this. He wouldn't do such a trade, not when he was sure he was going to get conned in the end.

In the end, he made an exchange with Silverlining for the coins. He got ten folds the amount she offered, and that confirmed his early doubts.

"Tsk! You are really stingy!" The two of them found their way towards a big portal area. It was operated to move people, cargo, and war supplies from one place to another.

As she said before, the price for using such a way was crazily enormous. Just for the two of them, Hye had to pay around thirty percent of what his green grade bone was exchanged for!

But he didn't care about that. The next time the portal leading to their destination would work was two hours away. They just stood in front of it, waiting for the portal to open. At the same time, the green nymph lady kept complaining about his refusal to do business earlier with her.

He totally ignored her complaints, took another interest in all the war supplies that were getting teleported at many portals around.

This place was filled with lots of portals that were built on a large space on the ground. There were at least hundreds of portals here, linking this area with others in the world.

Not all the war supplies were cased and closed for any onlooking eyes. Hye could see many giant metallic machines, looking like robots or something. He could also see big fighter jet like weapons, which made him believe they were the rumoured spaceships.

Their number wasn't that high compared to other war weapons, gears, machines, and supplies. But to him, they were enough to arm up an army of a hundred thousand warriors at least.

All he saw were small sized spaceships, as the medium sized and big ones were already flying in space. He resisted the urge to go closer and inspect these amazing war machines. And from just watching from far, he knew he missed a great chance before.

These spaceships were looking like his earth fighters. If he knew that, then he'd have asked old Gan and others from the research department to modify all the fighters, build their own fleet of spaceships.

"It's not too late to start working on this project," as he decided this, he opened a chat window with Lily, and sent her a message regarding this.

He tried to contain as many details as he could in this message. He knew as someone who came from another race than humans, she must have heard or known about the existence of the spaceships, the same case as old Gan and many others at his research department.

But he wasn't sure that any of them really knew how to build up one spaceship or learnt about the science behind them. Or else old Gan wouldn't have let such a chance slip by without asking him to try and make a few out.

"It's going to open anytime now," after two hours, the portal outer area was now filled with lots of people. Hye could see lots of them wearing uniforms, standing tall and looking strong and cruel. They gave him the impression they were from the military, and they were going there to operate these war machines.

What he didn't know was that the fight using spaceships wasn't limited just to space. Once the outer shield of any world was breached, war would extend to every corner out there. And so, the small spaceships would emerge in the picture, with their scary speed and ability to manoeuvre even in the toughest terrains.

The portal started to shine brightly next, with muffle noises coming from underground. Hye used many portals before, but these were just rudimentary types compared to this one.

"Let's go," the moment the portal worked, a bubble appeared, covering it up. It reminded him of something he witnessed before, a bubble that appeared back at the time of the apocalypse, one that took lots of his forces away and he never saw them again.

Seeing this familiar bubble again created doubts inside him, but he threw everything away and went towards it. The moment he passed the outer membrane, he felt a strong suction force, one that took his body like a flash and made him feel a little dizzy.

"It's much worse than portals at the apocalypse, cough! Cough!" As he arrived on the other side in a few seconds, he landed on the ground, feeling terribly bad.

"Space is very stable in the universe," the nymph lady was much better looking than him, at least she landed on her feet, "that's why using portals is expensive, and even owning them is much harder than owning a spaceship! Especially for those which could cross lots of sectors in space, linking far distant places together."

"Spaceships? What are these?" Hye's heart raced up the moment he heard what she just said. And yet he put on a mask of ignorance, asking about them as if he knew nothing at all.

"Oh, that's the main weapon in any way in the universe…" she paused, realised that he came from the apocalypse, and this was, by far, his first time venturing the outside universe.

"Listen…" she started to speak, speaking for an entire hour. Hye didn't try to interrupt her, even if he got tons of questions to ask, he kept them all buried deep inside him.

She wasn't just repeating what he already knew, but also was giving much vital intel about spaceships. According to her, the main problem in having spaceships wasn't in the way to obtain them, but how to maintain, repair, and most importantly fuel them.

To make them operate, attack any target and release their deadly attacks, they got the help of people on board. But to make it run in the first place, fly and move in speed, do manoeuvres, this all required tons of energy.
