Chapter 1547 Catching Up -Part 9
"Are you stalling for time, System?" Jin queried since he knew that the System could be hiding something from him when it stated that it doesn't wish to reveal its plans to Jin right now.
"If it is not obvious enough, the System is preoccupied with handling all these extra Mechanoids which was the mess the User fell into. Please hold on until the end of the Dungeon Instance to talk to us about the conversation we have with the Synthesis AI Administration." The System reported and Jin could only give a loud sigh in return.
"At the very least I am not working as hard as I thought I would be..." Jin monologued and Moloch could only chuckle bitterly at his predicament.
"Do you need a rough update on the current status of the cities in the Dungeon World or shall I get one of their current... leaders to talk to you about that?" Moloch asked and Jin had his eyes open wide.
"No way? The foxes are here? Is the System actually able to get the Foxes to come here?"
"Actually, it's just Kiyu. The System purposefully requested her aid to get some footage... although this is really just recent news since the System just announced in our heads that Kiyu is joining us. I can only guess that the System was hoping that Qiu Yue would be able to create something out of this...or so I heard." Moloch waited for the almighty System to reply.
"Affirmative. The System had graciously allowed the Director of Advertising to be in this Dungeon Instance to film in hopes to regain some profit in the future."
"I thought you said that you guys wanted to keep this to yourself? What's the constant and sudden change of tune."
"Upon reviewing your conversation with Commander Moloch, the System felt it was pertinent to achieve more funds for the future. Even though we are breaking even and earning a little extra with the absence of the User, the System would look into using this for the Goblin World instead of the Dungeon Supplier store." The System commented.
"The Mechanoid data would prove useful for the Goblins and in some way, the System was hoping that the news would spread among the Goblin World's kingdoms."
"For what reason?" Jin raised his eyebrows not knowing what was the purpose of the System.
"For the possible emergence of a descendent of the Dwarves." The System stated.
"I thought we have our resident Orc Head Researcher to rely on?" Jin could not wrap around what the System was trying to achieve when they had Ayse who was the leading expert in Dwarf Technology.
"While the Mechanoids data could be captured and we have the supposed Mecha Smiths such as Master Old Fammet and Nie, we still lack engineers. Using the Mechanoids as bait the System hoped to lure the Dwarves to our side and use them to achieve more with the current technology Head Researcher Ayse could meddle with."
"I thought you will be able to replicate them easily. Just use the copied data with Pandapolis manufacturing industries to recreate those robots."
"Easier said than done when everything the System and User are experiencing are all virtual simulations. The Mecha Smiths might have experience creating the Mechanoids but they are all based on the current Synthesis Server they are used to."
"Oh shit... Now that you said it, you are right..." Jin realised the mistake he made.
"However, that does not mean they are useless. Their designs would be something the dwarves would be interested in and if we are able to get them to our side, their translation of those designs to reality would severely boost our combat capabilities."
"Lol. System, I can think what you are thinking." Moloch smiled even wider. "The applications of a Mechanoid would not end for just fighting."
"That is assuming they are cost effective to create. Even if we were to mass produce them, they would be quite an expense." Jin was understanding where Moloch was coming from.
"But imagine what we can do with them. The minions can strictly move to things they specialised in or even concentrate on just terrorising the cultivators in your dungeon instances. They can take the role of logistics which would require little to no help from the System."
"The System wholeheartedly agrees. Most monsters keep prodding the System on the agendas as if the System was some sort of reminder machine."
"You are indeed one." Both Moloch and Jin said together before laughing.
"In any case, after hearing what the System said, I concur with what they are doing," Moloch said that it was a decent idea. "But since I did hear how Ayse said how the dwarves are practically extinct, this would still be a long shot."
"From the last, I saw the reports on the Goblin World, the adventurer town is getting more and more popular. There were indeed sightings of various humanoids coming together to try their luck on the all famous 'get rich quick' cave."
"I do not have the full details but you are not far off." Moloch nodded his head. "As much as it was far fetched to see if we can attract the attention of the Dwarves, the primary objective of using this particular dungeon against the humanoids in the Goblin World would no doubt be a good venture to earn more money."
"But don't Qiu Yue have to modify the cave system... Well, that is assuming that the System had decided not to bother her and just segregate each room in this particular dungeon instance into floors instead. That way, the cave system that the adventurers were using would still be the same."
"Contrary to User's concerns, the humanoids are starting to reach the mid floors of the cave system. If we do not add extra content, the Cave would be fully conquered. Thus, the addition of Mechanoids and the addition of minions with some adjusted difficulty would be worth it."
"Sounds good. Let's proceed with that." Jin said as he stood up after a long chat.
"Go on. I will hold the fort here against those pesky enemies. Do have a hearty chat with the rest." Moloch smiled and bowed while the Minotaurs opened the door for Jin as another group came in and naively believed that they could burst through the room.
