Chapter 47 047: Howdy Partner II
Cole watched as his stat page popped up, he gave an appreciative grunt off what he was seeing as he was more than ready to take on this floor, and opposed to quite a few other aspirants, he had the equipment or rather the resources to make sure he gets all the tools he needs to beat this floor. Though if he had to be honest starting all over again in regards to armor and weapons was annoying, even if he was a bit lucky, he wasn\'t so sure he would be able to get his stealth suit back, And that was the most important of all his equipment.
[Attunement Has Reached Bronze Rank V! as this is a chosen stat, there are no available knowledge, stats, and mastery boost till Iron Rank I]
[Gold Rank Prism Of Technology Has Been Slotted Into Your Intelligence Stat! the Mastery Skill Interstellar Engineering has been generated!]
[The Mastery Skill Interstellar Engineering has resonated with Intelligence stat Sub-mastery Technopathy! Skill changed to passive Skill Technoman.]
[Gold Rank Prism Of War has been used to enhance Spectral Charge Skill! Skill has Changed to Spectral Rover!]
[Gold Rank Prism Of Healing Has Been Slotted into Attunement Stat! The Passive Skill Demon Constitution had been generated!]
[Gold Rank Prism Of Defense has been used! +150 to Dexterity, Perception, +80 to Charisma and Intelligence, +50 to attunement!]
There were still silver prisms left, but Cole had no use for them anymore. Also! He also had a diamond rank prism that he was not yet ready to use, he\'s as stuck between either upgrading some of his other skill or getting an entirely new skill all together.
He didn\'t have much slots left within his stats, and he was sure there were still some racial, and class skills when he does gets a class, that he would need to have space for. Rather than getting a new skill now, it would be better to upgrade them. If only he could find a bank that can keep his items for him across multiple floors.
Either way he was feeling a lot stronger, there was still a few more notifications to go through, plus with all of this rewards, it sort of shocked Cole a bit that he was unable to get any loot boxes, it would have been nice to get a few equipment. Now tough he really needed to find an equipment shop, but he would do that soon as he sees just how much stronger he had become.

If Cole had to be honest he expected a little bit more than what he was seeing, he was at least hoping his stats had gone on to the iron Rank. But all he had now was just two of them at the peak of the bronze rank.
He tempted to at least maybe use the five silver prisms he had on hand, however those prisms were valuable. Going by what he had seen and experienced in the first floor, it would get more and more difficult to get prisms, so these would sell for quite a lot soon enough, and even if he had no intentions of selling it, they could still get him out of a tight spot by upgrading his stats.
But for now perhaps it would be for the best to see what this second floor holds for him. He would make a formed decision after experience and exploring for a bit. Nevertheless he was happy with the growth, and while he was frantic and in a bit of a hurry to get stronger as quickly as possible, Cole did not want to make a mistake and miss anything.
He stepped out of the cradle Facility, keeping his head down as quite a few other players walked in or walked out. It was a bit weird, he had not seen any active players when he had showed up on this floor, but after the so called introduction and his acknowledgement of his notifications he started seeing them…. This was sort of like a tutorial.
After muttering a few \'excuse me\'s\' Cole was right back out on the main Street, and sitting by the side of the facility building was a horse sized wolf. It was the center of attention as quite a few people were crowded around it, of course the wolf was laying on the ground apparently napping under the sun.
And while a horse sized wolf was quite the sight, the creature was matter black with dark blue, red and gold highlights. Cole could recognize that color anywhere, and even more so when said wolf was a machine, it\'s entire body being a seamless combination of metallic plates, while a leather saddle hung over it\'s back. Cole and wolf locked eyes, it immediately got up, startling the people around it, players and NPCs alike and walked straight to Cole, nuzzling into his neck.
"Hey Morgan….looks like you\'re here huh?" he didn\'t get a reply though, all he received was a series of whines and soft growls, and an intense feeling of acknowledgement. Looks like this floor did not support the concept of artificial intelligence/ virtual assistants. Morgan won\'t be able to speak, but that did not mean he couldn\'t be useful.
"Alright boy… any idea where I can find myself some change of clothes? Preferably armor and some weapons?" Cole asked. Morgan gave a soft bark and then turned to the side, waiting for Cole to get on his back. And Cole not standing on ceremony did just that, not paying much attention to the people watching as Morgan began to move away with small gaits, giving Cole enough time to look at the town he suddenly found himself in.
Going a bit further down the main Street allowed Cole to find the police station, a big red building with guards or rather officers in front of it, dressed in red flags and cowboy hats, with revolvers in holsters on their hips, and large archaic bolt action rifles in their hands.
The bronze stars on the breast of the deed coats, was enough to give them off as deputies of the town, so probably there was a sheriff around here somewhere. A little ways down was a massive church, it stood at the exact end of the street, and when Cole turned to look the other way he found a massive arched entrance with the words. [San Louisa] which was probably the name of the town.
Cole discovered that the Tavern or in this case the towns major saloon was opposite the station, and right besides it was a massive thee story warehouse like building. The sign in front of it read [Bob\'s General Store] and in front of it were a plethora of carriages, horses, other animals, and many of them were mechanical or Mechanoids as the game had called them.
When Morgan brought Cole to a stop in front of the massive store he realized that the store was connected to the Saloon, which meant that whoever this Bob was, he probably owned them both…. Just to satisfy his curiosity Cole looked down the street discovering the building after the general store was a hotel, and it too was connected to the general store….. so probably Bob has got to be the richest man in town right now.
Cole gave a tired sigh as he got down from Morgan\'s back, and tapped him on his skull. There wasn\'t much to be said, even if Morgan was sort of in an animals body and he couldn\'t talk, he was still a very intelligent and Efficient AI, Cole could trust him to look after himself until he gets back.
He moved theough the throng of people going in and coming out, quite a few gave him weird looks, but that was to be expected he wasn\'t wearing the kind of threads that qualified him to own a mount like Morgan. Or perhaps it could be something else, but he didn\'t care much for it as he stepped into the Store.
For a moment Cole thought he was in a real life honest to go supermarket, and this building too was a whole lot bigger inside than it was outside. He couldn\'t even see the end of the store as people killed around, moving from aisle to aisle, and from shelf to shelf with the stores helpers moving around and helping people find what they were looking for.
"Hello! My young friend Welcome to Bob\'s General Store! What can I do for you today friend?" a massive heart of a man, but still somewhat on the portly side came up to Cole and placed his massive hands on his shoulders. The man was dressed in the same uniform as the rest of the workers in the store.
Cole slid out from under his one armed hug as he observed the mantle a few moments before deciding to not be too suspicious about anything or anybody. Sure he would be careful, but this was a new floor, it would be nice to take things a bit easy.
"I need armor, and weapons, and supplies, and maybe a map of the surrounding area of the entire country if not the world if you have it available. Then I need to know where I can find information on a few things and few people." The moment Cole mentioned information, the smile on the face of the man seemed to grow even wider.
"This is Bob\'s General Store…. However if you need information on anything at all, you should visit Bob\'s saloon…. As long as you can pay for it, all information will be at your finger tips. Now if you would please follow me, I believe I can do something about your current state of undress…. Let\'s get some threads on those body and a gun belt around that beautiful waist of yours. Come along."
