I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 1279 - Alien Tech?

'System. Talk! Who or what exactly am I up against?'

[Host... That's a good question. However, I won't say too much about the matter. For now, all you need to know about the situation is already sent to you, along with a few new missions as well.]

New missions?

Very quickly, Landon's eyes glowed with a strange light as he hastily opened the invisible blue screen hovering opposite his face.

And since Lucy was right beside him, he could only use his thoughts to control the blue panel board.

Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.

Time seemed to jump too swiftly, as 4 whole minutes went by in a flash.

And by the end, Landon's entire palms felt sweaty and clammy.

Now had a somewhat clear understanding of what he had to do.

As expected. The fate of the world might truly lie in his hands. So he couldn't dare to slip up or fail!

But now, something else bothered him again: 'System... Why can't I know more about the Holy Core? If I'm to retrieve it before it gets 100% of its powers unleashed, then shouldn't I at least be allowed to know more than what you've given?'

[I'm afraid not, host. You'll have to work with what you have and overcome the difficulties ahead by yourself.]

Landon sighed and nodded his head in understanding.

Well, at least he tried. Better to ask and try than not to. Hey. Who knows... Maybe he would've gotten lucky just now.

.

The Holy core.

Landon massaged his chin deeply.

For now, he already understood how the thing got to Hertfilia.

It could be said that in this matter, the Gods and Goddesses had indeed shot themselves in the foot.

That is, don't they know the greediness of humans?

It was like putting gold somewhere and asking people not to touch it forever.

Even if the majority agree, there will always be a few black sheep that would risk it all for their own selfish desires.

And maybe at the time, humanity truly needed that aid and even felt tremendously grateful to the heavens, so much so that they began destroying all knowledge of the Holy Core.

But even then, you'll still find people who would choose to start from the flock.

So yes. Landon wasn't surprised by how things turned out.

Well, at least, he had to give credit to the human descendants who took it upon themselves to destroy all relative information they could at the time.

You know, back then, the presence of the heavens was way stronger than it is now.

And people firmly believed and feared the wrath of the heavens too.

So they collectively did as they were told, no questions asked.

That is, they didn't even know the powers of this Holy core and didn't dare to find out about it too.

Sigh... The people back then were not the people of now.

So even when a very sparse and limited amount of information about the core was discovered, the Morgs still held onto that tiny glimmer of hope, trying to find out if they were on to something or not.

Their actions were akin to someone trying to find Pandora's box back on earth.

Everyone knows it's a legend. But would people truly risk so many resources and years just to find it?

Landon thought almost no one would do it.

But believe it or not, some people still formed cult groups, looking for Pandora's box with all their might.

Who knows... Maybe they would get lucky, just like the pirates did after piecing everything for 500 and something years before they could get to this point.

Looking at it now, Landon didn't know whether to smack them on the head for how much work they had now given him, or get impressed by their firm hearts, joining about looking for the Holy core when they had almost nothing to go off on.

Sigh... Humans were truly a terrible group of species.

And even now that he was trying to solve the virus thing, do you know that someone pimple would still want to play with the virus to see if they could create an even deadlier one?

Even though he was human, Landon sometimes felt that humanity belonged in the garbage bin.

Just throw them... Throw them all away.

.

Landon shook his head wryly while cursing those damn Morgs in his mind.

'System, what do you mean when you say that the core is already activated?'

[Host. Simply put, the moment the core was taken off its resting place, it already became active.]

'Oh... Then doesn't this mean that as time goes on, the core will only grow stronger and stronger as well?'

[That is correct, host. But this is just the catalyst and not the key factor that would make the core unleash its full potential.]

Landon listened and understood something.

So? Did this mean that it all depended on how much the Morgs could bring out?

'Hmmm... System, you still haven't examined what this 'reaction' thing is all about. So I take it that it's the sole reason why you can't send me to swoop in and take the core?'

[Yes. Host. Moreover, your system space cannot contain the Core. And the host doesn't currently have enough points to upgrade it yet. So after raking up more points, then the host can talk to this system.]

'Oh.' Landon responded while checking on all his points.

Sigh. The system was right.

Whether it was technological points, Bonus points or even Development points, he found that he always used them up speedily.

Hey! There was always so much to do here, so he spent his points whenever needed.

Again, he also bought some minor technology patterns and knowledge from the system using his points.

So yeah. If he wanted to upgrade his space to accommodate the Holy core's raw energy and being, then he would have to wait until he completed more tasks.

The good thing was that from the system's words, the core had just left its resting place on a faraway island.

And from estimation, it should reach the closest Morg Capital city in another 10 and a half months.

That is, he had all this time before the Morgs began researching that thing.

Good.

.

Forming his plan in mind, Landon now focused on his new missions.

Eh?

Alien tech?

How interesting.
