Chapter 1550 Catching Up - Part 12
"The System cannot conjure Sub System User Qiu Yue to this world due to its restrictions."
"Then what about Kiyu? Isn't she considered a human?" Jin asked.
"Kiyu can be made into data because of its relation to the System. They are considered bellators to a certain extent and are thus able to move through dungeon instances like the other minions. Sub System User Qiu Yue is a living human being and I am unable to manipulate her soul to come here."
"Yeah, no shit Sherlock," Jin mumbled but Kiyu somehow caught it.
"It's true that the System cannot manipulate the soul of a living human being, especially her ties with the System. If it's some random stranger, I have no doubts that the System would be ruthless in their experiment to take that guy's soul and make it possible."
"Then what Lynn does…"
"What Lynn does was something to be considered more than a miracle. She could have lost her soul in the data transfer and she could have not retained her personality. Your pretty girlfriend had done the impossible while training with Kraft. Even the Devil Fox had estimated an abysmally high failure rate and warned Lynn not to do anything rash." Kiyu sighed.
"But the lady persisted and achieved the impossible," Kiyu replied as she placed her hand on his shoulders. "She was willing to drop everything for you and only you. Do not waste such a precious girl to chance and take care of her." Kiyu hinted that even as he attempted to get out of this shithole, his girlfriend was doing whatever she could be in the same shithole as him.
Jin gritted his teeth unconsciously and squeezed his grip. As he thought that he was reaching a high enough cultivation grade that he was able to stop such terrible incidents from happening, he was now stuck in these weird circumstances that the Dungeon Supplier was not able to move forward.
While he swore not to wallow in sadness, he could not help but feel touched and to some extent helplessness. "I promise to take care of her, through thick and thin."
"That is one promise I hope you do not go back on." Kiyu smiled gently as she realised she sidetracked a little. "In any case, the dungeon dollars we earnt from the raiding had been used in improving the Seven Cities since we had the armies under our control."
"I thought I remember seeing a report that the Seven Cities officials were under the control of the Churchies?"
"You are not wrong but recently, there was a massive coup d'etat among those cities. Like a huge overturn in the numbers backing the army officials. The protests that you heard previously could not be compared to what had happened under Qiu Yue's ruling."
"Why? The officials were bought with money?"
"Hmmm. You could put it that way I guess?" Kiyu stared at the stainless ceiling before answering. "The Army had been providing for the poor and helping to rebuild houses and towns using the money that Qiu Yue had provided from the raid."
"In addition to that, the Seven Cities Armies had been recruiting like mad so that they can get everyone to their side. From tailors to chefs and their assistants, the majority of the city was under the army's payroll that even the underworld was paid well to take care of things that the army could not do outrightly."
"Wow, won't that cause a shit load of bureaucracy?" Jin questioned seeing how inefficient the army could be with all these menial jobs.
"You do not have to worry about that. Apparently, Rex loved governing or perhaps it was his calling to govern things since the olden ages. It was to the point where the System loaned him a Sub System to govern the cities. If he performed well, he could keep the Sub System for himself and make him be the first bellator to hold onto a Sub System."
"I trust Rex but won't Kraft tries to take hold of the Sub System?" Jin asked the System and Kiyu could only laugh.
"What makes you think that Kraft does not have a Sub System of his own?"
"Argh I forget. He was part of the original System… That means he still has some control over certain things."
"Not as much as he would like but he still can do things without the authority of the current System." Kiyu patted Jin.
"So yeah, with Rex in the picture, the Seven Cities had decided to overthrow their incumbent to the point where there was no way the official governors would be able to return. While some did it with relative ease, there were a few who had quite a fair bit of bloodshed. However, I will spare you the details on that."
"It is fine. Now that the Seven Cities are within our control, does that mean we have more resources too?"
"Not exactly…" Kiyu used her powers once again and asked Jin to turn the TV on.
"With Rex as their Overlord, he made the decision to 'purchase' land that was near Demopolis and Pandapolis. It was in such a fashion that if one were to connect Demopolis and Pandapolis through the world map, it was very likely they had to go through all seven cities to do so."
"Wait, when you meant purchase ... Do you mean…" Jin squinted his eyes but Kiyu stuck out her tongue to the sight while showing her cute side.
"Interpret however you want. Teehee~"
