Chapter 150: | 150 | A What?
Standing within the sidewalk of a suburban neighborhood, Abraham glanced at the direction of his home. It was the same as before, but it was not like he desired for it to change. His home was best as it was now, he wouldn't want it to change for something else.
'I hope my things were left untouched by the upgrade.' He quietly thought while walking towards his house. It didn't take long for him to arrive before his front door. He looked at the intricate design and smiled.
Working in his office for hours had made him forget the pleasantness of his home. It made him wonder when he and Laplace would spend their time together in their home once again. Though, sadly... Such times were far from reachable. As long as the Colonial Dominion of Terra existed.
Abraham's smile faded as he opened the door. Silence and calm shrouded the entirety of his being, bringing forth an unnatural solace. If possible, he would like to have his home to become livelier than ever before. 'How satisfying would that be.'
He closed the front door of his house and opened its interior lights. He glanced at the kitchen and remembered the talk he and Laplace had. It brought them closer to one another and confess their love.
'*Sigh...* It hasn't been that long. Why am I already feeling nostalgia?' Abraham shook his head and took off his shoes before stepping into its hardwood floor. In his former life, he never had a house of his own. Only a single room that was as dirty as a landfill.
So, having one for his own was something he appreciated. That was why he always maintained the clean state of this house. After all, it was his home.
He stretched his limbs and sat on the sofa. He gazed forward seeing a 60-inch OLED television before him. He never really had a chance to use a tv since his transmigration since he had been too focused with his duties as the fleet admiral.
But... It wasn't like he didn't have jobs to do at the moment. There were still several things he needed to do because of the upgraded Port of Dawn. Oh, why was he giving himself more jobs to do? He shouldn't have been too hasty with the upgrade.
"It's already too late regretting it. What's done, had already been done." He mumbled to himself, picking up the remote along the way. He stared at it for a second and thought. 'I wonder what kind of channels we have. It should only be news channels, right?'
'After all, the television-side of the Port of Dawn shouldn't be that developed. I haven't even heard of it until now.' Abraham first wondered about the channels in the TV then realized about the broadcasting stations related to it.
He had come to know that he was entirely ignorant about them. But it might also be because he hadn't given them much attention as their importance didn't resonate with him. Though... A report or two might change that.
Abraham turned on the television and saw a cartoon playing in the television. It was a cartoon about some cat and two cockroaches. Interesting, to say the least. He remembered seeing this cartoon when he was a child, but perhaps he had forgotten somethings about it.
After all, he was confident that there were three cockroaches in the kitchen.
'Wait, why am I even thinking about this?' He shook his head and got rid of such thoughtless questions. He changed the channel in front of him and finally, a news channel came up.
The gacha roulette began trembling as the names inside it rapidly spun with untamed speed. Abraham gazed at it, his attention fully enraptured by its blurry and passing names. He hoped for something good. A port. It was all what he needed.
Abraham watched as the gacha roulette kept spinning in front of him. He stared at it with scrutiny, not wanting to take his eyes off it. After all, who knows what could happen. He didn't dare to test it. At the very least, he would know what he would get in its conclusion.
It didn't take long before the gacha roulette slowed down. There was no notification, it simply slowly stopped. It was rather strange, but it might have been because the Random Sea-Based Asset Spin was entirely different from the Random Naval Spin.
Abraham squinted his eyes, looking at the name left behind by the rapid spinning of the roulette. A mechanical bell rang inside his mind, while a notification followed.
*Ding!*
| Congratulations, You have received Level 3 Construction Yard! |
"A what?" Abraham found himself confused. His expectations were entirely pointed at the appearance of a port, which he could use to expand the reach of the United Navy farther into the sea. He didn't expect for something else to appear.
'Wait, am I becoming spoiled with the system?' He wondered since he had gotten all the things he desired from the gacha. Though, perhaps this might not be as bad as he had expected. After all, the things that the Naval Gacha System gives were always far from useless.
However, to understand its usefulness, Abraham needed more information. So he decided to rely on his precious partner, who might be able to explain the Sea-Based Asset he had gained from the spin.
'Systema, what does a Construction Yard do? Give me detailed explanation about it.' He questioned, which Systema promptly replied with her monotone voice.
| Fleet Admiral, the Construction Yard is a vital part of the United Navy's growth and expansion. It is connected to one thing, and that is the warships. With the Construction Yard, the Fleet Admiral will be able to build his own warships with a quarter of the price in the Naval Store. |
Hearing the explanation of Systema, Abraham felt his doubts cleansed. The edges of his lips immediately rose as he had unexpectedly gotten a treasure from random spin. He didn't think he would be this lucky.
"A level 3, at that? Hehehehe, it seems that the end of this conflict is near." He was beyond satisfied from the reward he had received from the system. A Construction Yard would guarantee the growth of his fleet without the expensiveness of the Naval Store.
With it around, there was only one way for the United Navy.
And that was towards the apex of the sea.
