Chapter 1029: Too Many Minions



However, Jin saw this as not necessarily a bad thing. After all, he needed more NPCs and monsters for the upcoming Virtual Network and these additions were very welcoming. If it was impossible to get them to work together, they could easily create a storyline where people would have to choose to side with one side or the other, just like he had done.

"I thought you said you do not have space to keep this many people? And now we have another few thousands in our midst." Jin looked at the consoles of the Dungeon Maker to try and make sense of the current situation. Last he checked he had not done anything to increase his System\'s capabilities.

"System has – to put it in User\'s terms - done some New Year cleaning. By optimising some space it was possible to house the current group of monsters and humans captured. The System has already sieved through all those with unwanted behaviours, the extremists\' group and put them in storage in case we needed… more ruthless behaviour in our NPCs." The System revealed some half truths in case Jin found out about the System using humans as its backup processing units to run the show. With this cover story, which was not entirely wrong, the System would be able to release them if Jin needed such unruly NPCs. But for now, their minds and bodies were utilised to the best for the System.

"Nevertheless, this is pretty much a makeshift solution. System is once again asking User for support. Please find more ways to increase the processing power to reduce the burden as well as to allow System to expand the servers, allowing us to realise the Virtual Network instance as swiftly as possible." The System reiterated and yet Jin found it even more of a headache.

Sure, he would love to get it done and over with but there were way too many pressing matters at hand. While this particular sidetrack had yielded him some benefits and manpower, the burden of keeping them would definitely backfire. With the new recruits in the thousands, Jin had unofficially become a Mayor with all the people and monsters under his rule.

"While I\'d like to rebuild the Southern Capital, the Demon Rats still pose too much of a problem. It seems unwise to invest into a new city when I have trouble brewing up North and the potential for them to come and disturb us." Jin remarked.

"What do you think about us putting these people into Pandapolis for the time being?" Jin asked the System for its recommendations. "This way, they would still be under your jurisdiction, but not require you to uphold this place. We would be able to get certain things working while they learn a new set of skills so that they could rebuild the Southern Capital way faster by themselves?"

"System understands User\'s rationale but does anticipate the fallout effects of leaving the Southern Capitals in ruins. Without their capital and their leader presumed dead, the Southerners might interpret it as a monster attack and the relationship between the Southerners and monsters might intensify as such. Especially with the explosion that Mage Bellator Peppers has done, it should be quite visible for the surrounding towns to learn about the nature of the attack."

"…So? Why not keep it as is? The whole monster attack thing? Just need to use another strawman though." Jin sat down and started to think that there could actually be a way to turn the situation around.

"What does User mean?" The System queried.

"Instead of placing the blame on the monsters from the South, we turn it into propaganda against the Demon Rats? We let loose a few Southerners who will spread the message that the Demon Rats are the ones responsible? Heck, we could even claim that the Southern Monsters were cooperating with the defence against the Southern Capital?"

"Sound a bit far fetched, don\'t you think?" Qiu Yue popped by as she overheard the last few conversational exchanges between Jin and the System. "While the idea seems good, don\'t you think it\'s a bit weird that the seaport had no sight nor contact with any Demon Rats?"

"That\'s under the assumption they would come here by boat. What do you think about those aircraft carriers? I mean, while the seaport towns and cities could not have seen any Demon Rats landings but the capital isn\'t exactly too far away from the coastal regions either. It would be believable that those rats did that. Besides…" Jin opened up his console.

"We have quite a few rats in our Spiral Sewers Instances, don\'t we?" Jin asked as the System replied to point out the quantity \'a few\' was quite inappropriate.

"Oh, so we throw an act?" Qiu Yue questioned and Jin nodded his head.

"With the Monsters and Southerners working under us, it should be easy enough to set up a …you could say a recovery camp, where some of the monsters are helping to clear the debris of the capital while we have Saberteeth as the de facto leader. Get my drift so far?" Jin said and both the System (figuratively) and Qiu Yue (literally) nodded her head.

"At the same time, we can prepare the construction of the Southern Capital by clearing the place up and reusing the salvage and debris. It couldn\'t hurt to feed our recycler to continue working non stop." Jin grinned as he remembered the System had increased the Recycler\'s abilities.

"That is quite true. At the same time, we could influence the rest of the Southern Towns to get ready for war against the Demon Rats." Qiu Yue suggested.

"Assuming they are able to produce the things we need. Else, it\'s better for them to use our weaponry instead." Jin said but Qiu Yue shook her head.

"That will tip the balance of the Farming World way too much. The East and West will suffer and we might have a North-South alliance against the East and West after this whole Demon Rat thing is over." Qiu Yue cautioned stating that it might be good to interfere with the Farming World as much as they did for the Goblin World. By introducing new technology it could potentially lead to political conflicts in the future.

In the Goblin World such technologies had been introduced and then got taken away, before they came back as their very own Goblin\'s Illuminati Ironworks.

Jin was lucky that the Goblin World was still peaceful as it is because of the Orc powerhouse and the Goblins acting as the intermediary between the Orcs and Humans but they could not say the same for the Farming World especially when the production of items are potentially different in their world. And unfortunately, that goes the same for the Dungeon World too so while it would be great for Jin to interfere with all the worlds, the headache he has would no doubt increase.

However, the dungeon supplier was too lazy to think that far. "\'I\'d rather we just do it and get rid of the rats as soon as possible. On that note…we could always control the East and West in the future as well should they try to make an alliance and take out the North or South first. And if that happens, we could potentially have the Farming World at our fingertips and that would no doubt bring greater production to not just the other worlds but our dungeon supplying as an inter world business."

"So as long as we have the end product, that will be fine?" Qiu Yue shrugged and shook her head. "Guess, the ones supporting you just have to buck up then, but still I have to say that\'s a goal worth looking forward to."

"That sounds awfully dandy to me. He he!" Jin nodded his head and started to coordinate for a recovery camp at the ruins of the Southern Capital.
