The Over-Break System

Chapter 638 Raiding The Vault (6)

"Oh… excellent…paper, hey Darling, please tell me they are like war bonds or something else valuable," Selene stated before peeking over his shoulder and widening her eyes in surprise as she realized what her man was holding.

The papers themselves weren't valuable per se, but what was written on them was definitely something only Cynrik would geek out over.

"These papers, as you so inelequantly put it, are something I have long been trying to get my hands on. Unfortunately, due to numerous restrictions and miles of red tape, I have never been able to obtain them for myself." Wearing a rare expression of pure excitement, Cynrik thumbed through the thin stack of leather-like parchment.

Each time he touched a new sheet of parchment, his vision was drawn away by the appearance of a new notification, indicating what these parchments were.

-An Arch-Grandmaster Grade Engineering Class Blueprint (Basic Destroyer Battleship) has been discovered. Due to your Class designation, ADEPT, you are unable to learn this Blueprint.-

Sucking in a sharp breath of air, Cynrik stared in amazement at the fourteen blueprints and subsequent notifications.

"Fuck…" However, when he got to the last three blueprints, for Basic Attackfighter, Frigate, and Destroyer, Cynrik couldn't help but swear softly, as he suddenly felt as if he were at the gates of the promised land, but forbidden from stepping foot within the boundary.

Heaving a sigh, Cynrik stored the three high-grade blueprints in his inventory and hit the yes option on all the other notifications.

With each tap of his finger, one of the parchments would glow in golden light before dissolving into particles, indicating they were one-time-use items, which confused Selene but caused Cynrik to nod in understanding.

As the parchments dissolved, the particle cloud would rise and enter Cynrik's forehead, just above the bridge of his nose, and wave after wave of new information flooded his brain.

-You have learned the Beginner Grade Engineering Class Blueprint (Basic Vehicle Fuel System).-

-You have learned the Beginner Grade Engineering Class Blueprint (Basic Vehicle Hydraulic Break System).-

-You have learned…

-You have learned…

-You have learned…

Roughly 10 minutes later, Cynrik stood rooted in place, with eyes closed as he digested the abundant information formerly stored in the parchments. A smile crept onto his lips when he finished, and he began chuckling.

"All that secrecy for something as simple as this, how annoying of the government and big corporations. It appears they only care about having a monopoly on such products, and unless you have their approval, good luck getting your hands on these blueprints."

"Sigh, how is a poor, lowly peasant such as this great self supposed to make it in this harsh, money-driven world." Cynrik lamented, only to be cut off by a loud snort coming from his left.

Glancing to his side, Cynrik noticed Selene sitting on the ground admiring her Orichalcum bars while looking up at him with disdainful eyes.

"If you're a lowly peasant, does that not make me the wife of a peasant and, by proxy, a peasant? We are rich now and stop talking about yourself in the third person. It's distracting me from counting my money." Dismissvly waving her hand in his direction, Selene returned to her bars with a greedy smile.

"Whatever you say, Mr.Crabs," Rolling his eyes and shaking his head at her antics, Cynrik dusted off his hands and reached forward, moving on to the fourth treasure chest.

Unsurprisingly, when he cracked open the lid and reached in, he found multiple storage devices, all housing hundreds and thousands of materials…the kind he would need if he ever wished to begin constructing the things he learned from the blueprints.

Holding up one of the many Spatial Bracelets and pushing in a little Mana, he went through its contents and was disheartened at the quality of the materials; still, free gubbins were free, so he didn't think much of it and threw all the storage articles into his inventory then opened the lid on the final chest.

However, the instant he lifted the lid….

WOOOMM BOOOOM!

A pulse of turbulent and mighty energy blasted out from the fifth chest in the form of a blue energy beam, slamming directly into Cynrik's chest and sending him hurtling through the air before he violently smashed through a glass case and finally came to a stop thanks to the metal Vault wall.

Still unfinished with the attack, the beam of energy pinned his body against the wall, like a giant arm holding down its prey, drawing a pained grimace from Cynrik as he willed his Mana through his body to combat the pressure of the attack.

"CYNRIK!" Selene screamed as she moved into action, kicking away her Orichalcum bars and rushing behind the chest. In one swift move, she slammed the lid shut, cutting off the energy beam and allowing Cynrik's body to smash through what remained of the glass case onto the ground.

"Ugh…who…the fuck booby traps a treasure chest locked in a Vault….bastards." Struggling to his feet while holding his chest, which was charred black thanks to the attack, Cynrik withdrew a couple of HP potions and began chugging.

Rushing over to help her man, Selene checked his body up and down to make sure he was okay, and it wasn't until she saw his healing factor kick in that she allowed herself to calm down.

"What the hell was that beam?" She finally asked as the last of the charred skin on Cynrik's exposed chest disappeared.

"Highly Condensed energy, a mixture of Light, Fire, and Wind Mana…honestly, the Light Mana hurt; the other two wouldn't have done much to me."
