Defiance of the Fall

What the FUCK! - Ogras screamed as he agitatedly grabbed onto Zac’s arm . - Is it upgradeable , IS IT UPGRADEABLE? - Gone was the wise-ass know-it-all , replaced with a spluttering madman who seemed to have fires in his eyes as he glared at Zac .

God damn , calm down , - Zac said and freed his arm from the crazed demon . - What are you talking about? -

Inspect the building from your town menu and share the information - Ogras hastily said , almost dancing on the spot in excitement .

Zac didn’t know what Ogras talked about , but from his face it looked like he would explode from impatience at any moment so he tried various mental commands instead of asking anymore . As he used the command - Town - a new menu opened up . He knew he had tried that command a long time ago with no result , and guessed it was activated when he completed the incursion quest . His camp should still be classified as an outpost though , as it was only promoted to city upon completing the next quest .

The new menu was a list of all the structures he had bought or gotten from the system . Everything between the water gathering-array to this huge construction in front of him was there . However , his camper or the car was not listed , so only System-structures were included it seemed . He focused on the shipyard but stopped himself from sharing the prompt .

E-Grade Medium Scale Iliex Shipyard . Upgradeable

Maybe it is , maybe it isn’t , - Zac defensively said , feeling that this might be important information from the demon’s reaction .

Just how high is your luck human? A Creator’s Shipyard . This changes everything , - Ogras said , ignoring Zac’s attitude .

It says it’s an Iliex shipyard though? And why are you getting so excited? - Zac couldn’t understand his reaction . It was a nice-looking shipyard , but that was it . He was likely going to build or buy one like this sooner or later since he was on an island so it was nice being able to save in on that expenditure . But he’d much rather have a town protection array or some turrets as a reward since there were monster hordes incoming .

Truly pearls before swine . The Iliex is a race of living golems who are among the greatest builders in the multi-verse . Most just call them Creators , since that’s pretty much all they do . A shipyard that’s manned by the Creators will create faster , stronger and more durable ships compared to normal ones . But more importantly , the shipyard is upgradeable . -

Zac was starting to get excited as well since it seemed the System had actually given him something pretty good . But still , Ogras’ reaction seemed exaggerated if that was it .

So , what else? - he asked the excited demon .

Well… Creators can also make some of the most sought after cosmic ships and sky fortresses . Owning a shipyard means you can sell those in the future . It can net the Lord hundreds of times more income compared to the crystal mines in the mountains . - He explained after a brief hesitation .

Cosmic ships? Like spaceships? - Zac asked , now starting to get excited as well .

Something like that . Ships that can traverse the endless distances of the multi-verse . They can travel to any points on a planet in seconds as well , very convenient . But they are not - spaceships’ . They are Spiritual Ships that travel using the Dao of Space and cosmic energy , rather than relying on technology . -

Now Zac was on board the hype train as well . Travel anywhere on the planet in seconds? This was exactly what he needed in order to search for his friends and family .

How much do you think it costs to buy one of those cosmic ships? - Zac asked eagerly .

Slow down , an E-grade shipyard can’t create things like that . I think it must be D-grade , maybe even C-grade before you can create those kinds of things , - Ogras immediately doused the burning desire Zac was building up . - We need to upgrade the shipyard first before we can start reaping the benefits . And before that we need to keep it safe and hidden . -

How do I upgrade it? And why hidden? - Zac asked confused , but the next second froze , knowing that he had exposed himself .

Yes , hidden . This shipyard is a treasure , and any force would drool after it . If the word spreads that you control a Creator Shipyard you will have endless troubles coming your way , - Ogras said after a smug smile at Zac’s mistake . - As for upgrading it? No idea , try asking the Creators . -

I mean I get that this is a good thing , but why would even you foreign forces go crazy for it? Can’t you just buy your own? - Zac asked , starting to feel he was sitting on a hot potato .
