As soon as he appeared inside the Gic Evolution Cube, Cain''s eyes widened as he saw all sorts of devices, techniques, and innovations that filled him with awe and wonder.


    Like the Endless Pyramid, the Gic Evolution Cube was full of open rooms on the periphery. At the same time, the center housed a giant pir of energy that served as the power source for all the experiments going on in this ce.


    There were several levels, with the first one resembling a massive shop featuring all sorts of Wave Viruses, forms, and devices for Gic Coding. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire


    "I am not a Gic Coder, so I do not dare to assume your requirements, but if you tell me what you need first, I can guide you."


    Yordana did not attempt to guide Cain''s movements since, while she had the means to enter this ce, that did not mean she could figure out the type of material this one would require.


    "Then I thank you in advance. First, I need a new Gic Chamber."


    A Gic Chamber is where a Gic Coder would deposit the raw material to form Vectors and Gic Chains. Cain needed a new one since the one he currently had could only properly maneuver Grand Gic Coder''sponents.


    "I see, then follow me."


    Yordana knew where they had to go, and soon they reached a ce with all sorts of devices. It was full of gic chambers; some were more than good enough for Saint Gic Coders.


    Cain''s insights were good enough to discern the type of Gic Chamber that could cover his necessities, but his eyes could not help but focus on the giant tubes on the back. They resembled Recovery Capsules, but while they had ss, the rest of theirponents were purely biological.


    "What are those?"


    Cain''s knowledge about Gic Coding was equal to a Saint Gic Coder and included a lot of obscure and illegal knowledge obtained from Morgana, the Pseudo Saint Gic Coder from The Association. Yet, this was the first time he had seen this type of Gic Chambers.


    Yordana''s knowledge about Gic Coding was lesser than Cain''s, so she did not have an answer, nor did Krane or Samantha.


    Luckily, the old man in charge of the Gic Chambers was able to answer their doubts.


    "These are Bio Gic Chambers. They are not originally from the Godyer Humankind but pieces of technology stolen from the Legio Eldritch Race. They allow you to bypass Vectors and Gic Chains, directly acting over the individual''s genome."


    Although those words did not have an effect on Yordana, Krane, or Samantha, they widened Cain''s eyes.


    A Gic Chamber that allowed you to modify an individual''s genome directly was nothing short of extraordinary. It would permit the level of modifications that one could perform to be much higher.


    For example, Cain currently could build 1-Star Saint Wave Viruses. Still, if he could directly act over an individual''s genome, the gic modification he could do would not be less than that of a 4-Star Gic Coder.


    Of course, there were drawbacks. Humans use Wave Viruses for gic modification to act over specific cells and proteins so as to not randomly affect an individual''s genome, causing all sorts of wild and dangerous mutations.


    Using a Bio Gic Chamber would put the life form in extreme danger due to the many problems that could arise, leading to devastating gic damage. That was not a problem for the Legio Eldritch Race since they most likely used it to enhance their drones, but it was different if you used it in a sentient life form.


    "How much for one of them?"


    Cain''s eyes burned with excitement and desire as that Bio Gic Chamber would work perfectly in his hands. Even if it was extremely expensive, he was willing to spend as much money as needed.


    "Hmph, a neophyte should focus on establishing his foundations, not go around testing equipment that is meant for true Grandmasters."@@novelbin@@


    However, before the old man could answer Cain''s question, a booming voice emerged from one of the upper levels in the cube.


    A cold light appeared in Cain''s eyes as he nced at the voice''s origin and saw a thin middle-aged man with short azure hair and sky-blue eyes looking at him.


    The middle-aged man did not bother to hide his disdain for Cain as he looked at this one as if it were a clown looking for a new toy.


    Cain had never met that person, but his eyes narrowed as he saw the azure hair and sky-blue eyes.


    ''Lord, that is Sman Azure, member of the Azure Royal Family. Do not let his appearance fool you. He is a famous Saint Gic Coder over two thousand years old.''


    Krane''s voice echoed inside Cain''s mind, and his eyes immediately narrowed.


    The lifespan of a Wave King was approximately 1000 to 2500 years old, so it was not odd for Sman to be alive, but his appearance was too youthful. While there were ways to fake that, it was clear by his vibrant vitality that he was far from the twilight of his life, so he must have improved his life force through Gic Coding.


    ''Dangerous.''


    Being old did not mean you were honorable or worthy of respect, but it did mean you had experienced many things, making you a threat.


    Cain did not bother with the Sman and turned back to the old man so he could get a price for the Bio Gic Chamber.


    "Hmph! I already told you that a boy can not handle adults'' tools. You are not allowed to buy a Bio Gic Chamber."


    Cain''s eyes grew colder as he heard Sman''s words. Before, the man was just insulting him, but now, this one wanted to stop him.


    Yordana also frowned at the middle-aged man''s rude behavior, but she remained silent. Being the daughter of the Prime Minister had many benefits, but she also had obligations, and she needed a proper reason to antagonize the Azure Royal Family.


    Cain saw Yordana''s attitude but did not care about the woman. What really bothered him was the old man in charge of the gic chambers took a step back.


    Sman was a big shot in the Gic Coder Association, and there was no way someone would antagonize him to gain an unknown person''s favor.


    Instead of just making a fool of himself, Cain was ready to turn around and leave this ce. He still wanted the Bio Gic Chamber but would have to use the contacts of the Fourth Imperial Prince to get it.


    Sman showed a nasty smile as he saw Cain about to leave, but then another voice echoed across the Gic Evolution Cube.


    "While one of the jobs of the Gic Coder Association is to prevent the misuse of gic knowledge, since when did we deter people from pursuing new paths?"


    The one speaking was a middle-aged man with short ck hair and silver pupils. It was someone Cain already knew.


    "Marlon White, what do you think you are doing going against my word?"


    Sman was full of rage as he saw how Marlon dared to mess with his fun.


    However, while Sman was a big shot, Marlon''s status in the Gic Coder Association was even more impressive.


    "Since when do I have to ask for the permission of a corpse to speak?"


    Marlon did not hide his disdain for Sman and did not bother to hear the rebuke of this one as he turned toward Cain.


    "Colonel Laurifer, if you want to buy a Bio Gic Chamber, you are free to do it since your military ranks allow you to possess that type of technology. However, you are not a member of the Gic Coder Association, so the price for even the most basic Bio Gic Chamber is ten million military credits."


    Cain''s face showed nothing, but his eyes burst with red light as he did all he could to contain his shock upon hearing that number.


    Ten million military credits was an immense amount of wealth. It was even more expensive than what Grandmaster Horteus was charging for fixing ughter.


    Marlon was surprised to see theposure in Cain''s face, but he was sure that the amount was a lot for the young man. He was not lying or ying tricks since the price for Bio Gic Chamber or any other type of unique technology sold by the Gic Coder Association to non-members was ten times the normal price.


    What the Gic Coder Association charged in those cases was not the price of the artifact but the investigation behind it. Anyone could get it, but they better have deep pockets if they were not part of the association.


    "With your abilities, it would not be hard to be a member of the association. I am willing to be your sponsor."


    Morlon spoke for the third time, drawing the attention of everybody in the cube.


    The rest of the Grandmasters did not bother with it at first since they took it as a simple sh between Marlon and Sman, but now all eyes turned to Cain, wondering the young man''s identity.
