After calming down from the nightmare's shock, Henry started thinking deeper about what the issue with the chip was, or was it from the armors ?
Even after going through a thousand hypothesis he wasn't able to find anything that he was sure was the reason, the issue was time. If he had time he could have tried it as much times as possible until he finally made it but he only had 13 days left !
'Do you have an idea why the armor exploded yesterday ?'
Slowly Henry was getting used to the system's existence and started relying on it, more than that he felt a connection building up between them and trusted it more and more. He knew that the system was hiding things from him but he also knew that these things weren't things he needed to know now.
'Hm... is there no solution ? I bought the most expensive one on the Market to make sure it's of the best quality and I didn't unlock it yet on the Shop.'
And so following the system's advice Henry started working on the small part of the chip, the work was going slowly but steadily. Another person would have probably chosen another piece of equipment to make after seeing all the hardships there was to go through to make the armor but Henry was a sore loser and refused to lose to the armor.
After two days of work the small piece of the chip was looking good and was made from good materials that he bought from the system's shop which meant that it should at least be better than the one he had bought on the Market !
'Time to make the chip and try it !'

When Henry was done making the armor he didn't put it on himself to avoid dying, he put it on the couch, put his hand on it, made it change to the second form and jumped back !
Getting a broken splinter in the eye would be the worst thing that could happen now so he took his precautions.
By now Henry wasn't thinking about the time limit anymore : his mind was completely focused on making this armor ! He looked attentively to see how it would go this time and to his surprise the armor just changed to the second form and stayed lying down there on the couch.
Henry didn't trust his skills yet and so refused to approach the armor for 15 minutes until he was finally sure it wouldn't explode suddenly. He approached it and slowly put his hand on it, nothing happened it was just like his own armor that he had left in his apartment ; a lifeless armor.
He picked his dagger that was lying on a table somewhere in the workshop and threw it at the armor as strong as he could. He was trying if the armor would have an unexpected reaction when receiving an attack and nothing happened except the dagger that rebounded and flew to stick into the ceiling !
"Damn I will have to hide that hole if I don't want to get yelled at by the landlord."
Next thing was to try the third form of the armor which he did, of course he backed away in a hurry once again and hid behind a anvil. He looked at the armor that had already changed into the third form and was stable, slowly he started approaching it with a heart that was starting to beat faster and faster !
This feeling of having made something out of his own hands was just the best feeling for him, some people's drug was food, others was girls and so on, Henry's drug were accomplishments and of course good food wasn't that far.
"How's it System ?"
"HECK YES ! Hahahaha perfect !"
Henry fell on his back while laughing heartily, his level of happiness had reached a peak.
"I love this feeling hahah.
I wasn't expecting to finish it in time but I even finished it 4 days before the time limit, I was going to sell it on the Market like I did for the daggers to be fast but I'll use the Market's auctions instead.'
He picked the armor, put it inside a wooden box that he made quickly, although it didn't look eye catching it was still very well made with simple but pretty designs all over it and left for home, there he changed simple clothes but took with him a backpack in which he put the box and other stuff.
He expected this trip to take 2 days at most, since he had the money now he could take the teleport station to the Capitole where they had an auction house, every 4 days a big auction was held and anybody could put something to sell there as long as it's initial value was estimated to be more than 50 000$ which meant that it was a place frequented only by rich people, since the initial price was 50 000$, the final prices were way higher !
Henry walked to the teleport station that was right in the middle of the city and paid a ticket for the Capitole, most people would rather take a spaceship and pay less, only rich people or really impatient ones would go here. Henry paid his ticket 13 000$ which was enough to feed a family of 5 for 8 months at least ! He would have taken a spaceship too if he didn't have a time limit before the end of the quest and the beginning of classes in the Academy, after he paid he was invited to sit inside a white room on a beautiful chair against a wall, inside the room there were already a few tens of people busy with their own stuff or just sleeping. Awhile after Henry sat down and a few other people got into the room a blinding light shot from the ceiling and hit the floor with a loud BOOOOM.
Henry tried to protect his face with his arms and the young man next to him who was just sitting calmly looked with a mocking smile.
"First timer ? Hahah it's always funny no matter how many times I see it."
After saying that he started playing with his holographic phone and forgot about Henry, he was dressed in an obviously expensive black and gold suit and had golden rimmed glasses.
'Rich second generation?'
Henry didn't think that such a young man would be able to make his fortune himself but this one didn't look like he had any talent except spending his money on expensive clothes, that was the feeling he had gotten from him.
