Chapter 208: Patrick
For the next few days, Sam and his friends spent time in relaxation. Although, it is not a complete relaxation, but they didn't fight it over with other candidates for the points.
The rest of the candidates are hustling to gain more and more points.
In the first week, Sam and the group took three missions, which are related to city guard and earned a considerable sum of points, adding around five thousand points to their account.
They felt that doing missions is actually an efficient way to earn points as the returns are decent.
Apart from that, Sam is also plotting something else and that is to gain the info regarding the hidden cards.
For the first week, he let the shadow mice follow the Sword Marshall, so that he could find out any information and the efforts are not entirely fruitless.
There are six people assigned by the Marshall, who are responsible for hiding cards. This news was kept extremely discreet and the six people are actually Nascent stage cultivators.
The shadow mice had to stay extremely lowkey and thanks to their recent breakthrough into Level 4, and improved mastery of the elemental fusion they are safer.
From what the mice gathered, there is a fixed number of points divided amongst the fixed number of cards, and these cards would be hidden in the city, in fixed intervals.
Sam was quite surprised when he heard the number of points. Apparently, there is a board in a specific room, where these six people gather and discuss which area, they would venture that day to hide these cards.
That board even has the locations of various hiding spots.
But the mice have trouble remembering everything and Sam felt that it is not a feasible method as there would be too many of these spots.
So, he just let the six shadow mice tail them the whole day and after their respective hid the card, they would come to Sam and notify him about that place.
About this whole thing although, Sam is satisfied with finding the places, he is also felt that something is off.
The Marshall doesn't have to make a room, a discussion meeting and mention all the locations on a board. The information and cards can be given to the six members directly and they can just do their job discreetly.
But Marshall seemed to have made this choice deliberately to give a chance to the candidates.
He openly provided a way to find the intel. After all, the six of them do not stay in that place except for that meeting and if any one person can find that place they can hit the jackpot.
It took one week for the shadow mice to accurately link their involvement through following Marshall because, the Marshall is in a cultivation stage beyond the Nascent stage and they can feel the presence of shadow mice even if they cannot see it.
So, Sam repeatedly instructed them to not get too close which made them take some time.
But for the six people in the Nascent stage, that was shadow mice's play field and they confirmed their routine after two days of tailing.
Now, Sam can gain the points without so much as a fight with the rest of the candidates. But the hiding places are not exactly without any trouble.
Some of them are stored inside a wealthy person's personal chamber. Some of them are placed in the hands of a city guard station's head.
So, the effort is not to be scoffed at. But at least, they don't have to worry about not getting the cards and points.
Other than that, Sam noticed that the three people he locked up in the bas.e.m.e.nt were abandoned by their teammates, at least temporarily. No one came to their rescue.
Now that their ways to acc.u.mulation of points was covered, Sam is also involved in some other matters and one of them is his research on light element.
He was trying this since a long time. He is trying to separate various rays from the normal light, so that he could use various elements of light for his personal use. Even if he cannot use them for attacking purpose just yet, he can at least use it for tracking, detection and other supporting tasks.
After these many days of work, he was finally able to diverge the ray of light into all the colours of visible spectrum by adjusting the wavelength. But he didn't change the wavelength above or beyond the visible spectrum.
He is using his light element to access the electromagnetic spectrum and if he can control the wavelength properly, he can have huge radio waves as tall as a building and very small waves of minute wavelength like X-rays which can help him see through and the gamma rays, which can be used to make a laser of decent damage.
Even though, the gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation from decaying electro-magnetic radiation, it is inherently a part of spectrum and the most obvious difference is the wavelength.
So, Sam is trying to covert the ordinary light into a radio-active light.
In his previous life, he is the part of the team which made the gamma laser and one of the main people at that. It is safe to say that if he is not present the laser wouldn't have been completed at that time.
And ironically, the laser was not created by a group of scientists funded by a government, rather it was created by the dark side of the society. In particular, the organisation which Sam used to belong to till he was eighteen.
He still remembered the process of their experiments to obtain sufficient concentration of the resonant excited nuclear states for collective stimulated emission to occur turns on the broadening of the gamma-ray spectral line.
Simply put, he remembered every experiment they tired to turn the gamma rays to take the form of laser.
As the Physicists in the light side of the society are trying to use that for research breakthroughs, the governments for including a powerful weapon on the arsenal, the dark side which created this only have two intentions, one business and second one power, which they obtained.
Sam couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
As he practiced, he thought about the uses of this and finally his thoughts stopped at his past life.
He stopped practicing for sometime and went into the tower. He suddenly wanted to play the flute.
In his past life, if the academics and creation are the break from killing and battles if he was still emotionally burdened after that, the music is the only thing that saved his soul from losing the rationale and balance.
He suddenly had an urge to play the flute which he didn't have, so he went into the tower to make one.
But this one is going to take some time, he spent the whole day in the tower and at night he was back with his flute. It only has some final touches to be made.
The flute is made of the alloy of the Grey meteorite sand and Silver meteorite sand for the exterior and the intricate internal structure with the Silver sand alone.
He is testing the flute and them doing the repairs according to the tone he wants. It is already night and the remaining people came back.
He gave Watt a large amount of spirit stones to relax and splurge in the city. In a way, even the test in the imperial capital is really the toughest, this is also the phase where he has a lot of time to spare.
Watt has either been busy on investigation, fights and training since the Falcon Cliff city. Now, that he has a lot of time, he asked Watt to do only one thing. Be a young master for once.
They all had dinner together, but at this time someone came to visit and Sam.
A young man, who wear an elegant and expensive attire. One look and Sam could say that it was made by a tailor artisan and there is a badge showing that the guy is a Pseudo rank-4 Weapon artisan.
But what got Sam's attention the most is that face. He saw this guy in the first team of the imperial capital, right behind the Prince. The second ranker of the Imperial capital.
The man walked in, and unceremoniously took a seat before speaking.
"You must be Sam."
Sam didn't speak, he just looked at the man in same calm and nonchalant manner.
"I am Patrick, the son of Tower head of the Imperial Capital Artisan tower. I am here to discuss a deal with you."
Sam still didn't reply.
"I heard that the plans for the Park, you currently have it under your name are with you. So, I want to buy them."
He paused and took out a spatial ring and put it on the table.
"Here, there are fifty million in this ring, I want all the formations, inscriptions you used."
Sam looked at the ring and looked at the man.
"You better leave right now. You might have been under the protection of the rules, but your men aren't."
This is the only moment, that Philip and the rest showed the reaction. They didn't sense anyone coming to this spot, because every other person who surrounded the place are outside the sensory zone of a normal Great mage at initial stage, but Sam can sense them because of his overly high mental strength for his current level.
Patrick now lost his cold and arrogant demeanor.
Just as he was about to retort, he raised his hand and waved it. The end of the arm was condensed with the water and the water was shot like bullet by the highly condensed air. It passed through the window and went towards the wall of yard. It broke the wall and hit a person standing behind it a few meters away.
The man laid unconscious.
"Next time, it would be a life."
Patrick immediately became alert, and walked out.
"We should have taken his card."
Philip said from the side.
"Why bother now? Let him collect some more points for us."
