However, Gabby frowned when she realized something was off. In the past, when she had maxed out her Primary Class, she received several new skills, but not this time.

The only time she had received any new Huntress skills was when she first acquired the Class, but now, she was left with nothing new except 70 Stat points, 35 Skill points, and an additional 7 DEX and AGI every time her main level raised.

Chewing on her bottom lip, Gabby was at a loss for why she didn’t receive any new skills and seeing as Brance and Benny were still digesting their new information, and Cynrik was in the other room, Gabby decided the best course of action would be to do some quick research on her Watcet.

It didn’t take her long to find the answers she was looking for, and the results made her frown while uttering a loud sigh.

‘Of course, it would be something like that,” she thought as she read through multiple forum posts from other students complaining about similar issues.

The reason was simple; Gabby had yet to contract her companion beast; as such, until she did, she wouldn’t receive any new skills since most of the skills unlocked through leveling up were different techniques to help raise the Hunter or Huntresses Beast.

Exiting the Academy forum and dropping her arm by her side, Gabby once again tossed a quick peek at her brother and boyfriend before pulling out her Alchemy Prerequisite skill books and entering a similar enlightened state to the other two.

Over an hour went by, with everyone in the living room stuck in a trance-like state, and when Cynrik received the text saying that his supplies were out for delivery, he pulled up the security measures he put in place to watch the front door from outside.

It didn’t take long for him to grow bored of watching the empty stoop outside, so he decided to check on the three in the living room, but when he did, he noticed they were all completely zoned out, something he both understood and predicted.

Unlike them, or even Selene, who was also currently in the same enlightenment state, Cynrik’s digestion took barely a couple of minutes, not hours like he was witnessing. What it boiled down to was everyone had different comprehension speeds.

Cynrik’s quick digestion and comprehension of knowledge were partly because of how his mind processes information and partly because of how many different thought process chains are constantly active at a given time in his head..

As such, he could digest the data received from Skill books like a computer downloading a new program with the highest possible internet speed.

Using his predictive abilities and knowing that everyone had, in one way or another, purchased the books necessary to unlock their new Sub-Classes, Cynrik had automatically assumed that they would each enter this strange enlightenment state.

Knowing there was nothing he could do to speed up the process and that it could take up to another 30 minutes for the delivery person to drop off his items, Cynrik figured the best use of his time was to set up his two Incubators.

To clear up some space in the room, he quickly scooped Selene up in a princess carry, pulled back the blanket on his bed, and placed her down before tucking her in.

Next, he set about cleaning up the mess of random items, such as XP crystals, Booklets, and of course, batches upon batches of potions.

After a few minutes of cleaning, the entire floor space of his bedroom was completely open, and he could place down the two 2.5x1meter boxes holding his expensive top-of-the-line Incubators.

Looking around his room for a few seconds, he quickly located the best place to build the expensive devices and unpacked the first box’s contents.

Inside was a long cylindrical glass tube and the parts that would eventually make it look like a giant lava lamp once assembled.

Even though the device was relatively easy to assemble and use based on the instructions, the components it was made from were anything but simple.

Scanning through the instruction manual, Cynrik was greeted by hundreds of diagrams detailing the specifics of each component and its uses. From the intricate spell formations to the reservoirs that channeled liquified pure Mana particles, the machine Cynrik was about to assemble was, to date, the most extensive and complex device he had ever seen.

“It’s a fusion of technology and magic, like; I knew it would be cool, but holy **, this is crazy.” He murmured as he unwrapped the cylindrical tube that housed the creature or egg being incubated.

Finishing up the fifty or so page-long instruction manual, which he committed to memory, Cynrik popped his neck loudly, pulled out some of the new tools he bought from the Obelisk Marketplace, and went to work with an excited expression plastered across his face.

For the next short while, Cynrik silently set about building the large contraption, a process that, if it weren’t for his Engineering Sub-Class, and high DEX stat, would have taken hours to complete.

However, he didn’t even realize or care how long the process took. Even back on Earth, Cynrik had been obsessed with building things, from model kits or expensive remote-controlled fighter jets to high-power computers, and that was one of the defining reasons he had chosen the Engineer class.

Cynrik was already halfway through building the tall Incubator by the time he received a notification on his Watcet that the delivery person was outside his dorm. Quickly finding a good place to stop, he activated Shadow Leap, sank into the ground, and reappeared by the front door.

“Yo, I’m pressed for time; sorry if I seem rude.” Opening the door and giving the delivery person a short greeting, Cynrik glanced toward the clipboard and moved.

Afraid of being held back from his project any longer, Cynrik swiped the clipboard from the man’s hands, quickly scanned its contents, signed the bottom line, and held out his hand for the transfer of items.

Seconds later, after receiving his purchased items, Cynrik caught the man by the arm and began the transfer of Merit points for a tip. This delivery person was someone Cynrik recognized slightly, so he wasn’t stingy and sent over 50 merit points before slamming the door shut and vanishing into the shadows.

Not even a full second later, he reappeared beside the half-built Incubator.

Outside of the dorm, the delivery man was stunned silly. Several weeks ago, around the same time at night, he had received a large order and was forced to deliver it; however, this time, when he got a late order and saw the address, he couldn’t help but grow excited.

Very few students would tip the delivery service people. Still, he remembered explicitly that the student in this dorm had tipped him 10 Merit Points last time, so he promptly gathered all the items on the list and made a speedy departure.

Standing in one place and staring at the notification he received after getting his delivery tip, the man’s eyes started tearing up. 50 Merit Points may not seem like a lot to someone like Cynrik since he currently had thousands, but for the man, it was enough to feed him and his family for an entire month.

Bowing to the dorm in respect, the man said thank you and left while wiping his eyes and sniffling, leaving Cynrik unaware that he had earned a favorable impression from the delivery man.

Getting back to the task at hand, Cynrik spent another 40 minutes assembling and cleaning up the mess from the first Incubator, but once he was complete, he received a shocking notification from Tobs.

-You have perfectly assembled a Tier-3 Rare Creature Incubation, Hatching, and Nurturing Device.-

-Being an Adept Engineer, this task should have been more complicated than it appeared, yet you flawlessly executed the assembly.

-Your Adept Engineer Rank has advanced to Experienced.-

-Your perfectly assembled Tier-3 Rare Creature Incubation, Hatching, and Nurturing Device has received a 15% increase in its ability and reduced hatching time.-

-You have received 25 Free Stat points.-

-You have received 15 points for each of your primary stats.-

-As an Experienced Engineer, you have a 25 percent chance of increasing the Stats or Effects of the devices you create or assemble.-

-Blueprints crafted by you will have a 15% Chance of increasing the Tier or Rank of the items crafted with them.-

“Oh?” Using a clean microfiber cloth to wipe down the glass cylinder, Cynrik read through the notifications along with Tobs’ monotone voice and smirked.

“That’s new, hehe. Moving on,” tilting his head to the side, Cynrik plugged in the power cord to the wall, flipped a couple of switches turning on the device, and entered a sequence of codes that would decide what type of Mana needed to be stored and converted to nutrients for the creature being hatched.

Once the commands were input on the small display touch screen, the device hummed to life and started drawing ambient Mana from the surrounding area.

Nodding in approval, Cynrik moved on to the second Incubator and swiftly assembled it in half the time due to his familiarity with the device.

Upon completing the second Incubator, he received a similar string of notifications from Tobs.

-You have perfectly assembled a Tier-3 Rare Creature Incubation, Hatching, and Nurturing Device.-

-Being an Experienced Engineer, this task should have been more complicated than it appeared, yet you flawlessly executed the assembly.-

-Your perfectly assembled Tier-3 Rare Creature Incubation, Hatching, and Nurturing Device has received a 15% increase in its ability and reduced hatching time.-

-Your Experience Engineer Rank has advanced by 25%.-

-You have received 25 Free Stat points.-

-You have received 15 points for each of your primary stats.-

“Shit, I should have been punching above my weight class with my builds ages ago, tsk.” Smiling bitterly at how much he could have grown by taking on more complex Engineering challenges aside from constantly working on his Assassins tools, Cynrik ruefully started up the second device and allowed it to warm up and run through its booting process.

Dee Dee Dee

A few minutes later, the first Incubator chimed, signaling that it was primed and ready to be used, but Cynrik decided it was best to wait and sat down on the floor between the two devices.

‘Now I have to make my final decision. The names for my birbs have been long decided, but I still don’t know what I want to do for their secondary Affinity.’ A thin Lightning bolt flickered around Cynrik’s hand like a snake as he rolled his left wrist in thought.

‘When it comes to Affinity procurement items, I still have a Lightning orb, Ice Orb, and Metal Orb, not to mention the Omnipoison gems I acquired after beating Jormie.’

‘Honestly speaking, I can write off the Orbs since I only have one of each, and Benny and I have two of the elements while Brance is working on the third; it would be redundant to have multiple of the same Affinity users in the party. Which only leaves Omnipoison.’

With a thought and a flick of his wrist, the two Omnipoison gems appeared in his palm.

‘A versatile Element that allows for both offensive and defensive benefits, but do I want to start my chicks with something so dangerous? Not to mention I’m not sure they wouldn’t kill themselves accidentally with this Affinity.’ Frowning in concern as he examined the tri-colored gems, Cynrik lost himself in thought.
