Chapter 89 - MCV Upgrade.

After dinner, Arther took a small rest in one of the rooms on the second floor.

During the dinner, he also asked everyone for any of their ideas about the modifications and he got many good ideas. Thinking about this Arther didn't know when he went to sleep.

When he woke up it was already late at night. After taking a small nap he was feeling refreshed, with a happy face he went to the fourth floor to start the work.

With a thought, he took out the broken MCV. It was placed in front of the huge alloy door which seems to be used for driving the vehicles out.

Seeing the conditions of the MCV Arther didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It didn't look anything like the previous black costly bus. And placed along with the other vehicles it looked like a piece of garbage.

But Arther didn't mind it, when the upgrade is finished this will become an even more ferocious beast.

With this, he went to the driver's seat and used the system to clear out the storage in his room. He wanted to make room for all the materials required for the repair.

After it was done he opened the system panel,

"Scan"

[Ding

Scan initialized.

Processing...10%...30%....99%

Ding,

Scan complete.]

The panel in front of him changed into a different one.

[Warning,

The current damage is more than 80%

Immediate repairing is required.]

On the top of the panel, there was a red alert, when Arther clicked open the alert he found that there was detailed damage prompts of various modules of the MCV.

[Weapon Module: Damaged 100%]

[Planting Module: Damaged 90%]

[Living Area: Damaged 85%]

[Energy Module: Damaged 60%]

[Driving Module: Damaged 40%]

[Storage: Damaged 30%]

The weapon module comprised of the ballista, the planting module comprised of the greenhouse on the second deck, the energy module comprised of the engines, batteries, and the fuel tank.

The storage was the least damaged due to its special structure followed by the driving module comprising of the driver's cabin, while building the MCV itself Robert had strengthened the driver's cabin hence it retained the damage.

After getting the required information Arther came out of the MCV. Before starting the upgrade he needed to repair these damages. This was the rule of the system, that MCV can be upgraded only when the damage of all the modules is less than 10%.

And for this repair, he will need the metals from the lower floor.

He first stored the MCV inside the tattoo and then moved to the lower floor, coming to the metal section of the warehouse he started collecting all the metals required. After completely filling up the storage and the space in the MCV he stopped.

He then went to the fourth floor again, he wanted to do the repairing work here itself but the area here was not enough to fit the MCV.

After coming to the fourth floor again, he took out the MCV and opened the system panel.

[Total Damage: 83%](Repair)

With the required materials provided, there was a new repair option available. When he clicked on the repair option there was a new prompt on the panel,

[For this repair it will require 3 energy points.

Current Energy: 20.]

(Author's note: I have changes the energy counts a bit since the previous ones were a bit difficult to remember. Consider the basic energy of the system in the beginning to be 10. )

Seeing this Arther was a bit surprised, as he had thought that the energy is required only for modification and upgrades, but now things were different.

But he also didn't have any other option, so he ordered to proceed.

With permission from Arther, the MCV seemed to vibrate a bit and then quieted down again. The metal blocks in the boxes slowly started to disappear from the MCV. Arther didn't feel anything different with this repair except for the reducing damage count from the system panel.

But there was a different scene seen from the outside when Arther started the repairing. The twisted axle and shafts slowly moved and straightened themselves, then the dents on the body disappeared. This was a magical scene to behold, as it seemed the MCV has come to life.

Arther opened the system panel to see the repairing progress and found that there was a timer of one hour, which meant that the repairing will take one hour. Until then Arther decided to take a walk around.

He walked through the staircase and came to the third floor, when he was about to go to the lower floor he heard some voices from the terrace. Hearing the sound he changed his direction and went to the terrace instead.

The terrace of the warehouse was completely flat with a small bunker made from sandbags above the main gate. Except for this, there was nothing on the terrace, in the center was the landing symbol for the helicopter.

When Arther came to the terrace, there was a faint gust of winds blowing with moonlight shining around making the atmosphere a bit relaxing. Besides the small bunker, there were two figures sitting at the edge of the terrace with their legs swinging in the air.

Of course, they were John and Jack. After the dinner, Arther asked John to keep a watch at night but his dad insisted to join. Without any other choice in front of his father Arther had to give up.

When Arther went near them he was able to vaguely hear their laughs and was able to see the smoke from the cigarettes. Whenever the smoke was released the winds took it away.

Both of them seemed to feel him coming and turned towards the back. Seeing that it was Arther, they smiled,

"Hey Arther, come join us.", John invited him cheerfully.

"Hahaha, it's such nice scenery here. Come have some relaxing time..",his father pointed at the forest in the distance while speaking.
