Thinking of robots, he recalled that the cold-faced stall owner at the Dimensional Exchange seemed to sell Engineering Robots. He had thought they were too expensive at the time, so he had put the matter aside for later discussion.
Now that he thought about it, they were still necessary. Before his population caught up, Engineering Robots—especially large ones—would be a tremendous help to his territory.
Kerry decided that when the market opened in a few days, he would buy two highly intelligent, multipurpose, large Engineering Robots. From then on, whenever he wanted to build something, all he would need to do was give an order, and it would be finished a few days later. Just imagining it made him excited.
Before he knew it, the twenty-day interval between market openings was almost over. Basic Membership allowed two openings a month, on the first and tenth. The last opening had been on the tenth, so in a few days it would be the first of the month.
Oh, right. Kerry suddenly remembered that he would not need the Star Fruit this time anyway. Since he had the money, he might as well buy Emma a vial of Gene Enhancement Fluid first. He wondered whether Emma would awaken a supernatural ability.
Kerry had read the description of the ninth generation. After being enhanced for a period of time, there was a possibility of awakening a supernatural ability. He had not awakened one during this period, so he hoped he would continue not to awaken one until the medicine's effects wore off.
Kerry found Cobra Member No. 007Z1, a Warrior Level 1. He had now renumbered the Cobra Members according to their levels and heights.
He did not care what their former names had been. He only looked at their military numbers now.
