Chapter 148 - 148 Expansion XIV

"My lord Karuo, The drones seem to be protecting the Humans,"

"Are they working together?" Said Karou with a deep rasping voice.

"No my lord, there have been no indication that the Drones are working with or belong to the Human, but they seem to protect them as they are filling the places humans have abandoned to gather their forces, with the Drones taking over the places humans have abandoned we have no way to take over it, without paying a heavy price."

"Can't we still figure it out where or who those Drones belong?"

"I'm sorry my Lord, but we are unable to figure it out, but one thing is for sure their number is increasing at the fast speed, as every time we checked on them their numbers swell."

"But the Drones are not taking any initiatives to attack us unless we attacked them first or intrude into their territory they remain passive."

"Leave them for now, our main objective is taking over this sector, how was the fight in sector XXX"

"Were almost done, with sector XXX and sector XXX XX is already under our control, the Dominators and Colossus are doing a good job in this sector but in sector XXX XXX we have a problem."

"I see, well we have our orders we can't let our King wait any longer, take over this Galaxy no matter the cause, so we can focus on our real objectives."

"Yes, my lord Karuo."

… ... … …

Upgrade complete…

"Finally took you long enough, so what's changed? Arc Ask.

Factory Editor.

System Personnel.

Arc saw two new features, System personnel is quite easy to figure out as it displays all people that was created by the system, he also saw that he can see their status, and he can upgrade them or add give them new skills and such only problem is it takes a lot of Energy Unit to do so but even so that's a good news to Arc.

But the Factory Editor is a bit complicated, but he quickly found out what it was apparently he can customize his own factory using Factory Editor, or add new features to an existing one but there's a limit it has to be related to the said factory, in other words, he can't add Cloning features to a weapons factory or vise versa.

He left that alone for now as it requires technical knowledge to create his very own unique factory, he then checks the system store.

Most of it is useless to him for the moment but that upgrade chip is quite promising. If it functions as he imagines it will be a great item for him.

So he click the descriptions.

Upgrade Chip: can upgrade all types of machines.

"Eh, that's it? Nine can the upgrade chip upgrade my factory?" Ask Arc a little bit annoyed by the short description.

"Yes, but it can only upgrade one step at a time."

"You mean I can only upgrade factory lower than 1-star using 1-star upgrade chip into 1-star factory, and I can't use 3-star right away to upgrade machines into 3-star directly if I want a 3-star factory I have to upgrade it first into 2-star right?"

"That's right." Said nine who sounded more human unlike before.

Arc noticed it, but he figured it was because of the upgrade that Nine intelligence has increased.

"I see, this upgraded chip is amazing. A bit expensive but totally worth it." With that he won't have to throw away old factory to build a higher version he only needs to upgrade it, saving him a lot of trouble and besides its cheaper to upgrade than to build an upgraded version.

Upgrade stone is different from upgrade chip as it not only can upgrade any machine but also people that are created by the system making it more useful unfortunately it's not available for purchase.

But before he started upgrading all his factory he first needs a lot of Energy Unit and for that, he needed a lot of Energy Factory.

So he plans to use all the energy units he has to build a high-grade energy conservation factory. And for that, he needed to go to Grand Army HQ in Enigma.

So after telling his parents and sisters he immediately left for Grand Fortress, he is using a special Vehicle that can safely fly to HQ without any problems, it's quite expensive but for his safety it's necessary. It only took him 2 hours to reach Grand Fortress he was welcomed by Oda and the rest, enigma city no longer exist all trace of it has been destroyed and replaced with new facilities from Grand Army, the Grand fortress look like a high tech City with many maglev vehicles flying around, and with population over 15 millions, it's a busy fortress the outer part of the fortress is for the regular residents of the Army a high tech housing facilities and recreation center was built there to house the families of the soldiers and many of the regular personnel of the army.

The city is not like any other military base as it has all the facilities a regular city have such as malls and cinema schools and all other facilities making the former residents of enigma cried in joy for many of them didn't think they will experience a normal life once again especially those with children, and above all, it's very safe they didn't have to worry about their safety again, a Grand credit or GC was issued as the official currency on Grand Fortress.
