Chapter 2117 Planning Ahead
"The System now understands the situation at hand. In fact, the System applauded the User as the System did not expect the User to be a King of a magical nation, much less the up and coming saviour of the world." The System replied that way. Whether there was a tinge of sarcasm in it or not, Jin could not sense it.
"There are many policies and internal systems that the Kingdom of Ress is running so inefficiently that it is impeding progress against the Celestials." The System stated and Jin asked the System to pause for a moment.
"So…you want to take this entire kingdom just as how you picked up Pandapolis and Demopolis?" Jin asked and the System gave an affirmative answer.
"Of course. How else do you think those cities including the Seven Cities, the brand new Adventurer City in the Goblin World as well as the Northern Capital in the Farming World can function without your interference? It is all solely the System's capability. User is insufficient and incapable of running a kingdom.
Hence, the praise is given to the User when the System finds that the User is able to run Ress as it is for at least a year without the System interfering at all."
"Wow…somehow this hurts quite bad. It does not even feel like praise at all…" Jin mumbled and Kraft laughed while hitting Jin's back.
"It is true. Even I used my secondary system to run Mong Empire. Do you think it is possible for me to run it by myself and those rascal Star Foxes?" Kraft exclaimed and continued to praise Jin as well. Read exclusive adventures at empire
"Hahaha…" Jin nodded his head and sighed.
"In any case, the System will take over and begin to plan and provide details to each and every citizen in your possession. Please warn them that an assistant would be handling your day to day job so that you can proceed to develop whatever skills you need to fight against the Celestials." The System stated but Jin and Kraft were a little confused.
"I thought we are going to help the Mong Empire to conquer every human nation in an effort to fight against the Celestials as a collective?" Jin asked and the System did not approve of such a situation.
"While the additional manpower would be appreciated, if the System is around, do you still need to have such inferior manpower at your behest?" The System hinted and used a holographic arrow to point the north.
"Oh. Ohhhhhhhhh….." Jin and Kraft suddenly realised what the System was planning.
"But does that mean we cannot salvage the parts from the demons now that we have the System in our possession?" Jin asked and Kraft knocked his head.
"Have you forgotten that the System can select your desired manpower?"
"Well! For the longest time ever, the System was able to take in almost every single person in to boost the manpower. How would I can I remember that the System can selectively choose things! And excuse me if I had forgotten how to use the old System when I did not have the System for the longest time ever!" Jin pouted.
"Fine, fine my dear king. What I can tell you is that you can get the System to convert the Demons that are EX Rank and above while the rest can still be resources. Besides, it should still have the option of dropping parts after we kill it when it belongs to us. Just that we need to spend more resources for it to forget that we are killing it."
"Alright, I understand. But what I do not get it is that why are we not getting those humans?"
"The System proposed that the Mong Empire continues to push for its conquest. The humans need to concentrate their hate on the Mong Empire and only then when Ress enters the picture, the Kingdom that Jin is currently reigning would have the biggest impact on human society." The System stated.
"Not to mention, the Mong Empire can leak the documents stating that it had been incriminating the Kingdom of Ress and making them look like the bad guy. If done right, the rest of the kingdoms would be implicated and they will try to clear their name by framing the Mong Empire to be the mastermind of it all."
"Bleh. I already thought of that without even the System mentioning it," Kraft sneered but Jin could see that the Devil Fox's eyes were sparkling with evil thoughts, and wants his Star Foxes to start the plan that the System had mentioned. Jin believed that Kraft had thought about it before but never had bothered to do so.
However, with the System putting this not as a suggestion but as a directive to move forward, it gave Kraft the confidence and guts to do so without any repercussions. (Of course, Kraft does not give a damn about repercussions, but some things are just too troublesome.)
After all, the System had calculated the risks and gave the green light for Kraft to do what he really liked and this provided lots of joy to the Devil Fox himself.
"As for the User, the System recommends the User to continue expanding his Dungeon Portal Summoning Skill. Once reached the realms of EX Ranks, there might be a chance that the monsters coming out can be used as collaterals against the Celestials.
At the same time, the Improvised Smithing should be utilised even further to create more missiles and other deadly weapons that could lessen the burden of your Kingdom."
"But if we are collecting EX Rank Demons, I do not have 'smart' operators working on all that stuff. Unless the System wants to do that."
"Have you forgotten? The System said to use the Improvised Smithing even further."
"…You want me to use fully obedient and sentient EX Rank Demons…as materials?"
"Affirmative. And the System had yet to ask User to develop his Job Class: the Disciple of the Bamboo God."
