564 Taking a Break

The shouting of the Scholar of the West had alerted not just Ayse but the other researchers in the laboratory instance as well. They hurried towards her allocated lab as she happily showed everyone the prototype she had managed to reverse engineer.

It was not as small as the previous Steam Tech and instead had the appearance of a box with an antenna on it. For this particular research, Gold had personally gone out to help capture a few live Demon Rat samples (by killing all but a dozen and beating the rest to an inch of their life) that were placed in a prison cell and fed regularly while the System strictly monitored their behaviour.

No one was allowed to be near the Demon Rats in case they tried to do something like overpowering them and running rampant. The System did not wish to waste any souls resurrecting the researchers because of some simple blunder, so it had created a four wall prison cell where the food was thrown from the ceiling.
