When he first heard the first words Hazel had said, he was slightly astonished. But as the words got to the ending part, he was stunned speechless.
That was a whole 253,504 Gyno points.
Two hundred and fifty three thousand five hundred and four 253,504 Gyno points Gyno Points is no small amount of money to David or any student of the institute at that.
Even when Phyllida and her clans men had gathered their Gyno points together, it was only then they had managed to amass a 100,000 Points in order to afford a Skycruiser.
"A-are you sure about this Hazel?" David stuttered. Still finding bus luck hard to believe.
"No, I'm not." Hazel's robotic voice said but David could have sworn it had a hint of sarcasm hidden within.
Confused and a bit disappointed, David asked "What do you mean by that?"
"Sigh, do you not think your previous question was a stupid one? If I wasn't accurate about the calculations I make, I wouldn't be an AI would I?"
Blinking his eyes his face expressionless, David replied after a while. "I've heard about other students having their AI grasping and imitating the personality of their hosts. At first, I didn't think much of it since you weren't showing any signs but." David paused.
And then he continued " But now, it seems the rumours are very true."
"It took me a while to get used to your personality and behaviour as I couldn't ascertain which is your true personality. And I figured it out after a whild.
That's just how weird your character is." hidden within Hazel's robotic voice was seemingly a sneer.
"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. I wouldn't say weird, I would call it unique." Dav instantly refuted
"Whatever floats your boat." Hazel dismissed.
Squinting his eyes, it seems it would take quite the while for both of them to get on even grounds. An AI with an attitude the same as his? It would surely be a disaster if this continues.
"So you mean to say, there truly is more than 200,000 Gyno points in here."
David asked again.
"I obviously won't repeat myself for te second time." Not minding the attitude he had been shown.
His heart pounded rapidly in his chest as he hurriedly told Hazel. "Tr-transfer the points to my account." David struggled to say as he swallowed hard. He wouldn't believe it until he sees it with his own two eyes.
"The transfer has been made, you can check it out now." Hazel said.
Breathing out softly, trying hard to maintain his impulses, he slowly tapped on to his interface, to the status section of his page.
Gyno Points : 254,559(253,504 + 1055)
David's mouth dropped instantly. It was true, it really was true.
In the institute, David understood the concept of Gyno points. As long as one had enough Gyno points, one could own anything.
If one couldn't get it using te legal means, the Black Market obviously existed for such a reason.
David could also guess that such is the situation in the outside world. Although he hadn't gone there, he could guess and he was sure it was absolutely right.
Quickly closing his interface, he looked around him, to make sure he was truly alone. When he was sure, he opened up his holographic image to make sure he was truly not hallucinating.
But the amount written on his account told him all that he needed to know.
"Hahahahaha!" David burst into a sudden and almost crazed laughter. It was 200,000 Gyno points. It was wort it even if he goes mad for a bit.
Calming his emotions, he still needed to recover from his injuries.
There was truly no need for a full body scan for David to know he was in a truly bad shape.
Aftwr a while, David spoke up. "Hazel, lead me to the place where the energy tanks are being kept."
"Sure. Just tap at the right top edge of the office desk three time with a sequence of three second, two second and five seconds respectively, it should reveal the basement." Hazel explained.
"Uhn? It took David quite a while for him to figure it out." walking towards the desk, on the edge that had the virtual number hidden within, here was also a button of some sort.
David had tapped on the button repeatedly previously but it didn't seem to have any effect, that was the reason he had skipped.
But who would have known that it really had its own function.
His first tap on the button lasted three seconds.
His second tap lasted only two. While his last tap on the button was quite longer, lasting a total of fie seconds.
A few mechanical sounds later, It was like a gate of some kind had opened as the desk instantly flipped over, revealing a platform of some kind with a handle on it.
This somehow reminded him of the elevator that was in the institute.
Stepoing on the platform.
The dias trembled softly and with the groaning of metal gears, he was instantly transported to the basement.
After a few seconds, David was standing in a room ghat only contained five tanks, a table, a box and its temperature was a little below 0° degrees celcius.
David let out a mouthful of breath which seem to have frozen in mid air in a blink of an eye.
Shivering a bit to get rid of the cold air that was managing to penetrate his body defenses.
"Hazel, can you increase the temperature to uhm, back to room temperature I think?" David said, somewhat unsure.
"That is quite possible but the controls in this facility is all messed up, it would take a while for the temperature in the storage room to settle to an acceptable level."
David frowned slightly at Hazel's reply. "Can you make it go any faster?"
"I would be happy to give you the opportunity to do it yourself if you would like." Hazel slammed him.
David's eyes spammed rapidly. He was sure he wasn't this rude right?
