Chapter 613 Beyond His Reach
Yet, there was no response at all.
"User, for your request to create an NPC to predict the stock markets would cost an astronomical amount which you have no money to pay for at the moment." The System stated
"Isn\'t it just mathematical models and prediction? Why would be such an expensive NPC to create?" Jin queried while he leaned back on his chair.
"Because of the potential value it will bring in the future, and the System needs to weave a few souls together to create said NPC for there were no such NPCs nor Bellators in System\'s possession that can do such a job." The System responded, causing Jin sighed.
"Can I get Kraft to hack the stock market and manipulate it?"
"Don\'t bother thinking any further. I am somewhat a hacker through the System\'s abilities and not some real life maths or economics whiz. Besides, I am also not willing to learn something so useless for the future." Kraft mumbled from the corner. If not for Jin\'s acute hearing, he would have thought Kraft was merely slurring in his sleep.
"Then I just abandon that thought and earn money the hard way," Jin said to comfort himself.
"Alternatively, you can find Mr Know-It-All and get answers from him." The Fox Bellator suggested as he stretched his arms a bit.
"You know where he is?" Jin suddenly stood up upon hearing Kraft\'s response.
"Something like that." Kraft yawned as he lazily eyed towards Jin\'s direction. "Ayse\'s aid to infiltrate Sea Mesh brought me some very fascinating data. System, pull me nearer to Jin. I am too lazy to move myself."
The System did what Kraft requested, and the Original Bellator tapped on the digital console, bringing up a map of Shenzhen. But it was no ordinary map as Jin could roughly see that it was similar to the pictures he saw when he had the cheapskate satellite in the Goblin War.
"Apparently, Sea Mesh has a private satellite which was for their servers and communications purposes. However, I found in its logs that they were also used to track a few individuals. At first, I thought they were just monitoring some of their key competitors, you know, the usual business spying stuff." Kraft babbled, but Jin was surprised by what he said.
"They are rich enough to buy a private satellite? I know they are the leading few companies in Dungeon Tech, but I did not expect them to be that rich!"
"Yeah? You think your dungeon servers are that cheap? Not to mention those high tier dungeon suppliers always buy their stuff from Sea Mesh, including software, technical support that kind of stuff. Now I AM surprised how little you know about your partner before reaching out to them." Kraft said, and Jin was a little embarrassed. He admitted that he trusted Ke Loong too quickly when he was recommended by Mr Know-It-All.
"In any case, judging from the train of thoughts, I assume that this private satellite somehow tracked Mr Know-It-All as well?" Jin asked since he did not need a full version of the story from Kraft.
"What?? You don\'t want to hear how I impressively cracked the code and managed to find what Ke Loong was tracking? Perhaps, some conspiracy that the Sea Mesh is related to some sort of shady organisation and he is aiding people that are worse than the Triads?"
"You gave just me your impressions and summary of the story already, so no," Jin answered making Kraft all pouty too.
"Heh! No wonder Qiu Yue was angry with you just now! BYE!" Kraft said as he stood and directly walked away from Jin.
"Hey! Wait! You serious?!" Jin got a bit annoyed by Kraft\'s playful behaviour, but he knew he had to play along to learn more.
"Yeah, I am serious. I have decided that it is best not to let you know about this yet. It\'s too dangerous for you, kid." Kraft turned to smile momentarily before waving goodbye.
"Then why did you dangle that carrot in front of me for?" Jin felt like throwing his weapons at Kraft even though he knew he was not up to match.
"Because I want to let you know, like the stock market, there is always something ominous hiding in the shadows of the water. A fish that will always be bigger than you. Right now, you are still nothing but a pawn in this field of business. You think that you have grown a lot? Think again. This is merely the beginning." Kraft turned and told Jin off how na?ve he still was.
"For now, I suggest you swim under the fishes that had bestowed you with some safety. When you have sufficient power, money and prestige. Then you stick your neck out and risk it all." After reprimanding Jin a little, the Original Bellator\'s pose relaxed.
"Still, it\'s your life. Like I said to Qiu Yue, I can advise, guide and maybe provide an illusion of safety. But ultimately, you are still the Boss. You can do whatever you want." Kraft then stopped what he was saying as he tilted his head slightly to the right and lifted his index finger up as he provoked Jin by calling out to his Master to go against him.
"That is if you writhe that information out of me."
