My Gene System - Chapter 100

The bulk man which one of the craftsmen entered in the enclosed door. Yet, even he was just standing at the front door he already inhaled a tough smell that tightened his chest, at the same time, itching his nose.

By simply observing the area, he can easily say that the mixture in the container was too dangerous.

As soon as he entered, he felt that someone was sitting on his chest. But what he could? He must give this material to see what exactly the invention they were working on.

In his mind, it must be the main reason why Riku used a mask to covered his face. To wouldn’t inhale that thing and avoid the worst-case scenario that might happen to him.

“Sir Riku, this is all the item you have asked for us. The spring, the metals, and its covered.” At this point, this man had no idea how this invention could save the entire village.

But before that, let’s introduced this craftsman that brought all the stuff. His name was Conrad Fin, and seemed the head of all of the craftsmen who inhabited this village. To describe his outward appearance, he was looked Mexican and bulk body.

Without making another thought, he pushed himself into a standing-up position to hurry see the items. In just a glance, everything was perfect in his eyes, didn’t expect those craftsmen would surpass his expectations with their impressive skills.

“Wow… This is so amazing, Conrad! Thank you very much!” He cheerfully said to the man standing in front of him. “Can you get a mannequin and position in the middle part of the working station?”

Conrad nodded his head without hesitation, admitting that he was also eager to see the invention as soon as possible. “Of course, sir Riku. We are going to prepare it right now and just give us a go signal when we are going to start.”

After he spits these words, Conrad immediately left the enclosed room to provide the material they were needed for this demonstration.

To begin with. Riku carefully placed the metal container on the wooden table that had an average height as his knees. “This is where I put the gunpowder.” He seriously murmured to himself, thinking if there was another thing in making landmines.

To wouldn’t consume the more time. He started to put the gun powder inside the metal container, first, he does not fill the container the reason was he was given a space for the spring where he can put it.

Just like the grenade, that was his idea to create the landmines. Once someone stepped into it and released their feet, it would make a click sound and suddenly explode.

His sweat was dripping on his face, but he can’t take to wipe it. Why? Because the gunpowder will put on his face, at the same time, he was in the situation that no one should destroy his focus.

After an hour, Riku finished filling the right amount of gunpowder inside the container. Yet, he was not putting the cover to analyze if he was doing the right thing.

Under the metal cover, there was a clip here where he would stick the spring. “Well, it seems this invention is done. Now, I just hope that it would work out really well.”

When all the things were settled. He clipped the springs on the small metal cover and where their opponents should step to make the explosion.

Click!

The metal was clicked but not because he accidentally triggered the landmine, it was because he perfectly sealed his first time ever invention.

For some reason, he had a broad smile on his face as he was glad that his all hard work to create this invention was paying off. The moment of truth, he was going to test it to see if his invention needed some modifications, also to find out how strong the explosion it could make.

In his opinion, with the amount of gunpowder he used. He can tell that it can easily kill ten people at once, on top of that, he put some nails on it so if there was a tendency their opponent managed to escape the nails would finish them off.

In his grasps was the landmine, and yes, he was holding it with both hands. Why? The reason was, once he accidentally dropped it into the ground, it will immediately explode and much worst can easily kill him.

He moved out of the room, seeing from afar the five craftsmen located in the amid if the working station. They were done preparing the mannequin they needed for the demonstration, it was a scarecrow that mostly could find on the farm.

He was taken aback as he was suddenly felt something uncomfortable inside his chest. He slowly shook his head, thinking that mannequin couldn’t scare him, and he just was shocked by it because of the large size.

It was one hundred and fifty centimeters in height, wearing the farmer’s hat. He was slowly walking towards the location while the craftsmen looking at him with their astonishing eyes.

Everyone look at that! Sir Riku was already done preparing his invention!

That looks amazing! I didn’t expect that is the actual appearance of what we are made!

Now, let’s see what’s that rounded invention could do!

Riku stopped when he reached the area, then looked at one of the craftsmen who was holding a shovel. “Can you dig that area for me?” He wanted he was the one who digs the soil, but he can’t take to let go of the landmine in his hands.

The craftsman pointed his index finger at the soil and asked him questions. “How deep, Sir Riku? And how about the size?”

He explained that they needed a two-centimeter extension in deep and one-centimeter extended diameter with the actual size of the landmine.

It took a couple of minutes until he finished. After that, he placed the landmine on the hole and asked the craftsman to mildly cover it.

“All you can step back and hide in the place where the nails can’t penetrate.” He warned them in a serious tone.

The four craftsmen left the place, but Conrad remained in his position. “How about you, sir Riku? You should leave the place, isn’t it? You’re one of the important people in the Arzotoc village so we can afford that something bad happens to you. If you’re trying to do something, give me that job I think I can handle that one.” He offered himself as he noticed Riku was analyzing how would operate his invention.

Well, Conrad was quite right. Riku was the one who made some plans and the main key for the invasion. In their minds, this man created the explosive invention, at the same time, he must show his [Transformation magic] to force them to withdraw.

He frowned his brows, but it seemed he was going to refuse as he already what he was the best way to do here after he took string and stone that would add some weight with the mannequin.

“I can handle it, Conrad. You can now step back and join them, okay?” He approached him with his soothing behavior.

He tied the stone on the mannequin’s body, after that, he positioned it in the exact position where it would make a contact. Furthermore, he was slowly stepping back, heading to the location where he can safely hide.

He doesn’t use any physical strength on his hands, knowing if he accidentally pulled the mannequin would surely fall into the land mine.

Behind him, were the people who were curiously watching him, trying to figure out what was this man exactly doing. When he reached the post, he hid behind it.

“Everyone! There’s a nail inside of that, so it’s way better if you stay in your position doing nothing, okay!”

All of them agreed at once, then used the thick posts and wall to protect themselves. And as soon as he heard their response, he took a glance at the mannequin.

‘This is the moment truth and I can’t afford to fail this one.” He uttered his mind, aware that making an invention was trial and error since he was not an expert in doing that. Well, he’s not the kind of person, at the same time, the villagers here were looked high on him.

He took a deep breath and softly let it out of the air. He then calmly pulled the string and saw the mannequin was falling precisely where was the landmine located.

Bam!

It bounced on the surface so he thought that cover was too stiff to trigger it. But that idea was easily faded away after he heard a loud clicking sound.

Click!

“Hide!” He aggressively said as he saw an orange light color on the surface.

Boom!

And all of a sudden, a tremendous explosion shook the entire place which made some of the structures collapse.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

“Watch out, the nails are flying!”.
