Chapter 1670 Search For Crystal Dragon -Part 2
As Jin was assisting Lynn with her dishes as he had always done, she finally spoke up for Commander Eggshells. "I still think it's not a good idea for him to come with the Grey Bear Squad for the investigations."
"Why So?"
"He did not wish for the Commander job anymore. He just wants to stay and focus on his training." Lynn said as she was drying up the plates when Jin passed to her. (They had a dishwasher but in old fashion Asian culture, they prefer to clean the plates themselves. Even the System who knew that they had a dishwasher did not stop them.)
"Then why would he want to accept the job? He could have said no and quit. Denise is there, she will understand."
"He might want to keep his job for the sake of points."
"But he cannot have it both ways. He is after all the top commander for Diamondz Corp. Putting him into this investigation is already considered a break from work. Denise probably already felt that way and she had done this to give me some space for the job. Besides, why did turn like that? I mean I do not really know him that well but there got to be a trigger that forced him to be this way."
"I honestly have no idea as well. Page said that I might had drop kicked him so hard, his brain just had a big jolt and realisation that he is nowhere competent enough for the job and wished to train." Lynn replied.
"Then, as what Denise had recommended. Isn't it better for Eggshells to go for the investigation, hone his skills while he is with the team, and gain back the sense of confidence upon searching and defeating the Mechanical Crystal Dragon? Well, if it exists. I honestly hope not and it's a wild goose chase." Jin said.
"Why? Wouldn't it be better if we managed to hunt down the Mechanical Crystal Dragon and get done with it?"
"You make it sound like hunting this Dragon is like hunting an elusive rabbit. We are not sure what the Crystal Dragon could do and Denise stated that almost every researcher involved in the research had one or another way committed suicide to prevent the leakage of the Crystal Dragon. Even the new Lead Researcher Rafeal does not have the password to those old data…assuming those data had not been destroyed upon unlocking."
"I had no idea he was a new guy. He felt like he had been here the whole entire time." Jin said.
"From what I heard, he had some leader complex and most did not like him. The only problem and also a blessing in disguise is people worked with him for so long but he was never entrusted with a proper project to lead. So, he had the knowledge and experience to be a leader. That is why he was given the new Lead Research position due to seniority and erm 'cleanliness'?"
"Oh. Did not know that."
"So yeah, we have no freaking idea what the Crystal Dragon will do when we chance upon it. The only knowledge that we have is from the cleaners, stating that when it was activated, it was a pain in the ass since the area would be infused with crystals and they had to remove it one by one in order to ensure that everything is cleaned up."
"So that is why you all were suspicious if the monster was truly the Mechanical Crystal Dragon when it could have been another monster or perhaps a dragon with a similar size as the Crystal Dragon," Jin said and felt all the more Commander Eggshells should go for the investigation.
"Well, if it's really just a false alarm, Eggshells can take it as a break. Won't that be encouraging? It's not like Denise needs any help protecting herself. She is more or less with me most of the time and the System can detect if she is in danger or not. Not to mention, she had a few Mechanoid Guards with her. Mr Eggy does not have to be with her 24/7 and he could explore the world a bit with his new master, hahaha."
"Jinnnn." Lynn pinched Jin on his shoulder and then they heard a knock at the side.
"Sorry to bother you, Master Lynn but is it okay for me to do a light spar with you after you are done with the dishes? I mean I should have done it but-"
"It is fine. Mr. Eggy, I will meet you at the hotel's training hall in 15 minutes. You can do some warm up first." Lynn said and Commander Eggshells was delighted and thanked her profusely.
"Can I have a go at it?"Jin asked and Lynn gave an angry face.
"And get more demoralised when fighting with you?"
"Well! If you feel that he is not in the capacity to go on an investigation with you and the other Grey Bears. Won't it be better I smack him to the ground and he decides to follow me around for training instead? That will definitely keep him in Daimon."
"You are assuming that Denise would even allow that."
"Oh yeah. I forgot She owns him." Jin laughed out loud. "Alright, how about this? I get Commander Eggshells to liaise with the Daimon Military for a few things before I let him go for the investigation. In short, you and the Grey Bears move out first, and later Eggshells come in."
"Can you really do that?"
"Well, it depends on how long I can keep him but if I am not mistaken. DIAZ, You a Diamondz Mechanoid right?"
"YEAH, WHY?" Diaz slowly came into the kitchen area.
"Can you represent Diamondz Corp?"
"I guess so. If there is nothing wrong with that I do not see any problems representing for Diamondz."
"There. We can get Denise to temporarily assign Diaz as the Diamondz Corp representative so you guys have private corp immunity should anything happen to you all."
"Oh. Wow. What happened to Commander Eggshells?"
"I have some stuff in mind," Jin said.
