He looked past Hook and towards Natasha, his sympathy gone: "...I promised Hook before that I would continue to trade with her and assign her a route...Since she is willing to participate, I think the temporarily safe 'parts' corridor in Rivet Town should be handed over to the Mole Party to help, and the handover should be near the track of the big mining area. In exchange, I will provide the children with educational resources and nutritious meals."
Seeing the surprise in Nata's eyes, Kong added, "Of course, the children are still growing up, so they can't be burdened with heavy or overly complicated work. My people will teach them how to remotely operate small robots to assist in transportation. They only need to work for three hours a day, and you can find someone else to fill the remaining vacancies..."
"You have cleared out Rivet Town?" Natasha was surprised not because Kong planned to sponsor these children, but because of Rivet's efficiency in clearing the rift.
"Although not all of them... but there are definitely no active rifts on the main transportation lines. It's hard to say whether they are safer than the outer mining areas."
The corner of Kong's mouth twitched. "...Well...we opened a rift valley in the rivet...and then built a cable car on the rift valley to transport the parts produced by the automatic factory. The whole process of loading and unloading does not require much manpower...and does not require too many guards."
A rift valley fifty meters wide...the flying creatures in the rift valley can't even touch the edge of the cable car.
"As long as you don't pursue the issue of damage to the town's infrastructure... that cable car line will be a disaster. You can ask Luca for the details. It might seem a bit boastful to let me explain it myself."
Sora pulled the tiger that Nata had released into his arms and rubbed it tightly, while glancing at Ying who had returned to his quiet state.
The corners of Ying's lips moved slightly, and finally, as if he could not resist the insistence of Kong's private channel, he slowly came over and hugged Hook from behind:
"Sorry... kid, did I scare you just now..."
"No, I should thank Sister Ying... Um, Dad should be looking for me everywhere, can you please help me explain to Dad?"
"Miss Natasha?"
Shadow looked up to seek the advice of the Earthfire leader.
"Well... But Hook, you have to remember that this time Mr. Kong and Miss Ying helped you withstand the punishment. You have to repay them well. If it happens again, all the losses caused to the town will be counted on you. I will let you see the methods of the 'old witch' and understand the pressure of becoming an 'adult'."
Natasha was clearly smiling with curved eyebrows and eyes, but the black energy behind her was almost condensed into substance, and Kong couldn't help but tremble when he saw it.
"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong!" Hook shrank back into Ying's arms again.
"And you - Mr. Sambo, where are you going?" But it was obvious that Natasha was not only going to settle accounts with the Mole Gang today, but also with a certain blue-haired guy.
"Oh, Dr. Natasha, I'm not saying this, this is the end of the happy party, the clown should quietly leave the stage."
Sambo, who was conscripted by Kong, couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere and was about to slip away, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Natasha.
"Can you please explain why you are in Rivet Town? Regarding Julian saying that he learned his disguise from you - I want to ask about your purpose."
"Oh, this, this..."
Sambo Fly rubbed his hands so hard that sparks almost came out.
"This guy is here to bring us a finder."
Sora took the initiative to help Sambo block Nata's death stare.
This surprised both Sambo and Nata. The attitude he had shown before showed that he was quite disgusted with Sambo. If he hadn't led the way, he would have been stripped naked and buried in the snow.
"Even though he wanted to fake it as a coincidence... it helped us find the abandoned Chabao. Let's just say his merits outweigh his faults."
He picked up the stiff Chabao and placed him in front of Nata and the people sent by the settlement:
"Can anyone fix this thing? After we found the production line just now, it crashed into the remnants of Shadow's lightning element. It seems that there is something wrong with the circuit."
Shadow's slashing actually has the effect of interfering with electronic equipment.
Although it is reasonable, the efficiency of this object-finding device is quite good. It would be a pity to scrap it as a disposable item.
"Beep beep - Check Bao, unable to connect... Interstellar Peace Company... official website, retrieving the local supply warehouse products, list, selected for you, the best, please look for it, Check Bao -"
The clover-shaped object-finding device was twitching, as if it had not yet recovered from the extremely powerful thundercloud that remained behind.
"Interstellar Peace Company... let Miss Toppa take a look, maybe?" Banya yawned again.
"I've checked the model of this thing... It's a product from seven hundred years ago. I'm not familiar with the company's craftsmanship... Let's ask Swarovski or Topa to check it out. If it doesn't work, take it back to Himeko."
"Well, let's say goodbye here. The young lady looks like she can't hold on any longer—"
"Who said they would stop calling me Miss?"
Banya even got used to bickering with Xier. Although the children could not avoid being beaten, they all gained a chance to receive education and get extra nutrition. Sambo also saw the drastic changes in human nature that he expected. Luca completed Nata's mission, and Swarovski was able to get the parts he had been longing for. It seemed that everything was happy - at least in the short term.
It's time for the hero to leave - after picking up a lot of relics on the ground but finding that none of them had any attack items, Kong completely calmed down and didn't want to rush for quick success. Instead of fiddling with these useless things, he decided to wait for the system to slowly accumulate energy.
[Obtaining 50% of the ranking unlocking energy, awakening the ranking system——]
However, it was as if the system was deliberately leaving empty-handed when the task was settled... The system received energy support from Aha.
"Hmm? Where does this 50% energy come from?"
【From Hooke. 】
“… Wait for me a moment.”
Kong was immediately horrified - did that beast Aha even include children?
[Host, according to Aha's description, any local opposite sex you capture can receive the blessing. You don't have to have any relationship with them, and they don't even have to be human. Aha's restrictions on the concept of capture are relatively loose.]
The system added: [Perhaps He really appreciated your and Ying's performance just now, and was praising the joy you brought, so He found a random reason to send energy over.]
Sora looked down in silence at Hook, who was already crying loudly in Ying's arms, releasing all the pressure that was not appropriate for her age. In the end, he did not make any offensive comments to Aha.
He also glanced at Sambo and found that this treacherous guy seemed relieved by Hook's emotional release...
"I am narrow-minded..."
Aha's dual nature determines that while he is a bastard, he also praises and rewards positive human joyful emotions, which makes it difficult to evaluate.
It looks very much like something in the subspace.
But speaking of the subspace...
The corners of Sora's relaxed mouth twitched again.
The unlocking system is the fucking Warhammer: 40K system.
Although it was suppressed in a corner deep in his memory, every time he thought of his day and night fighting and killing in the dark galaxy, as well as the century-long expedition of atonement, and then the entire process of returning from atonement and regaining the trust of the Inquisition... he was reluctant to tell these dark stories to his female companions.
It's not that there aren't happy things, but in comparison, the lengthy memories of serving in the Human Empire are more like a necessary condiment for recalling the past. Occasionally, Sora would sigh that although his work was a bit hard and his body couldn't bear it sometimes, he could make love with his wives to an extremely absurd degree without attracting the attention of Slaanesh or being regarded as a sign of corruption by the Inquisition - this in itself was a rare happiness.
But if this system is enabled, it’s not just discrimination—some bad things are likely to happen. No, bad things will definitely happen.
In principle, Kong doesn't want to get involved with the monsters over there easily, and he believes that his client will also mind it - with the terrifying way of the subspace, which world will dare not mind?
But to the surprise of Kong and the Stitching System, the Collapsing Iron System seemed to be more interested in the War Hammer System.
Because of the overlap of some basic constituent rules, the reference optimization value of the Warhammer system exceeds that of some systems from the Peace World.
"Shit - is Party A sure? Have you explained to it the terrible side effects of the Warhammer system? This is the first time I've seen the World Will in a hurry to start a banquet -" Kong felt numb all over.
Although he might be able to obtain the most powerful assistance so far through the Warhammer system, the cost would also increase accordingly. What if he called in a few lunatics from the Inquisition or even crazier nuns who also had a high favorability towards him - then it would not be a matter of adding one more carriage room.
Oh, by the way, it seems that a Slaanesh demon also had a crush on him before - Damn! Don't!
[Party A is very sure. And will filter the incoming rules to ensure that only things it can handle flow in. ]
"So what reinforcements can I bring? My Chapter? My Inquisition buddies? The Astra Militarum?"
[It is most likely related to the war group. If you want to filter out the personnel support, then the ones sent are most likely gene seeds and equipment. ]
"…Gene seeds? Won't that attract the attention of the Four Vendors?"
[No, only the gene seeds and power armor you left behind were left vacant due to the pollution of the rules we brought, but they were not destroyed. After you disappeared, the Chapter kept your original equipment and seeds. What is certain is that your Mark X armor and supporting weapons are still being worshipped as holy relics, and the seeds are also sealed inside.]
"…If I only want these things, do I still need to have surgery?"
[No, the system will automatically fuse and remove the side effects of the seed and the Primaris Organ for the host. The cost is that the transformation will be equivalent to equipment, which will be weakened and suppressed by the rules. If you want to fully release its power, you must apply to Party A for a test qualification reward.]
"I understand... Then I need a set of equipment..."
Of course Kong missed his brothers in the regiment - he believed that even if there was only one, he could cooperate with the other side to break through the front line of defense of Kburg. But as long as his brothers came, his corrupt behavior here would inevitably arouse a huge amount of doubts and create resentment.
In fact, although Kong kept shouting about loyalty, he was an individual completely separated from the Dark Galaxy and had no fear of anything - except trouble.
238. Bigger, stronger, more powerful!
"What's wrong? Why do you look so worried?" Kong's mood fluctuated because of the content of the reward, which made Paimeng sensitive.
"Nothing, I was just thinking that even if the side effects of the gene seed were eliminated, I might still be haunted by those more tragic memories—"
"Gene seed?"
"I'll show you guys when I get back, Ying. I need your help after we get Chabao to Topa."
"it is good."
Without asking Sora what specific help he needed, Lord Ogosho said goodbye to Seele and Bronya, who were a little reluctant to leave, and then transformed himself into "the little woman behind Sora" again, following him closely.
Considering that two big troubles had been caused in a row, although Ying believed that he had done nothing wrong, the plan to compensate Kong was imminent.
"PhD!"
The collection team, who had just returned to the city for rest, were gathered around Toppa to discuss the origin of the automatic robots. When they saw Kong running over, they quickly changed from sitting on the ground to standing upright, fearing that their slacking behavior would cause dissatisfaction among their big boss.
But Sora just gestured for them to sit back down, saying that he was only an employer, not a lord.
"Topa, I'd like you to take a look at the condition of this antique - is there any chance it can be repaired?"
"…a home finder? My god, this is such an ancient version."
Topa recognized Chabao's model at a glance.
"But this thing...I remember it was very expensive."
"Is it expensive? Because it has collectible value?"
"Ah, it's not because it's old that it's valuable. This is a limited edition, custom-made model, and its functions are just as good as the popular models that are still produced today."
Topa took the machine and fiddled with it for a while. "Where did you get this thing? This alone can buy a duplex in Pierpoint—"
"Sent by Sambo..."
"Oh, it's him... The Masked Fool..."
Because Sambo showed his responsible side, Kong allowed Sambo to join the psychic frequency band to participate in discussions during specific periods, but for now he has only barely gotten to know the others.
Topa put down the machine and crossed her arms, which made the whiteness of her chest more prominent. "Although we can't find matching parts, it looks like it was only affected by EMP... It should be repairable. In addition... Doctor, our investigation today is not going well, we may need to use this thing-"
"I gave it to you because I knew it wouldn't go so smoothly."
Kong turned his head to look at the rangers who had integrated well with the residents - the fox people and the fairy boat people were already helping the miners who had finished their night shift prepare supper.
Every one of these rangers is truly a jack of all trades. Not to mention the more routine jobs like logistics and patrolling, they can also do cooking and operating machinery...
According to Yuyun...this was all forced.
