Chapter 1393: Wanting The Corpse Catcher

While Deng Long was relieved that he was not able to kill Air Force General Gnawbones, he was thankful that he was still in the fight and able to receive some raid points for participation. There was no doubt that he did grumble quite a bit in the group’s channel but he knew that this was a raid instance with it mimicking it close to a warzone.

So, he moved on without much commotion when Jing Ru reported that there was a group of Demon Rats coming toward him. As for the people overseeing the entire raid, Jin was surprised that the communication chatter between the Demon Rats High Command had been rather nonchalant with Gnawbone’s death.

But overall, the Dungeon Supplier expected a more difficult fight between the Pandawans and the said general in question, especially when he saw how the Corpse Catcher robot took form. Even if it was a sacrifice done according to the System’s reading, he could not help but notice that the technology the Demon Rats used was unique.

Imagine he could incorporate this corpse catcher technology with his VR technology without killing the user in the process. He would practically have a replica army of cultivators under his belt without using the excuse of a Dungeon Raid Instance when they were fighting in outer verse worlds.

He figured that the cost of making these Corpse Catchers would still no doubt be cheaper than paying to get the resources needed to reincarnate the cultivators, further reducing the expenses he might have. Given that the System had to actively catch the ‘soul’ outside of the dungeon instance, it also utilised quite a fair bit of the System resources to retain thousands of souls within the vicinity.

So with such a thought in mind, he quickly told one of the nearby minions to retrieve the Corpse Catcher Robot as soon as possible. The head might have been blasted away by Jing Ru’s technique but since the rest of the body was still intact, Jin believed that there was a chance the System might be able to reverse engineer the technology. Even if it could not, the Science Team could have a few tricks or two under their sleeves to incorporate the technology into theirs.

The System eventually queried Jin’s action and the Dungeon Supplier explained his intention. Making the idea of using the Corpse Catcher technology a potential money saver for the store had given the System much pause to think about analysing the benefits while processing all the other backend requests.

“Affirmative. There is indeed a probability that such an idea might work but we need more samples either by capturing the Demon Rat scientists to fully understand their work or acquire fully intact corpse catchers to reverse engineer it.” The System said and suddenly from the corner of the shadows, a smile emerged.

“Did someone say to capture a certain Demon Rat alive?” Kraft, who had been staying in the shadows watching the developments of the war, had begun to be way too bored of waiting. To be on constant standby forced him to occupy himself and his unit of Dark Elves to be rather restless. In fact, Jin was surprised that the Devil himself was willing to wait and not cause unnecessary havoc to the current war situation.

He was half assuming that Kraft would do his thing and cause mischief in the Demon Rat High Command the moment Hou Fei found it, killing all who would potentially stand in his path and ending the war early. But he did not and Jin was increasingly worried that the fox himself was doing something behind his back that the Dungeon Supplier was not well aware of.

Thus, for him to emerge at this opportune timing was favourable to not just the System who proposed such an idea but to Jin who now could monitor Kraft on the screens whenever needed.

“Yes, Kraft, if you could. Capture all the Demon Rat Scientists and their assistants. Kill the rest if you need to but if you saw any Birth Mothers along the way, save them as well. They are potentially the key to breeding a brand new Demon Rat society under our care.” Jin said, which made the fox chuckle.

“You think they would not have animosity against you, especially when you are the one who slaughtered these many Demon Rats?”

“I trust in your ‘charisma’ to charm them so that they can work for me without grudges. Granted, we should not wipe their history away but with the System and you to make them amicable to my bidding would no doubt be a task as easy as taking the trash out.”

“Heh, I guess you never know how hard taking the trash can is, even more so if one is lazy and has no incentives- Oh wow. You did learn your lessons well.” Kraft said as he suddenly saw that the System points in his ‘e-wallet’ skyrocketed.

“This should be more than enough to finance another basement for your night foxes to work with. Who knows? Maybe the Demon Rats might have more than babies for you to have a few Night Rats to work for you as well.” Jin decided to entice the Devil Fox and the bait was more than just a fat carrot.

It was a golden fat carrot with the smell of opportunity.

“When you put it this way, there is no way I can reject it right? Now I am looking forward to punishing those Demon Rats.” Kraft clasped his hands together repeatedly and with a smirk on his face. The Dark Elves Narris and Tinda who were beside him, nodded their heads with obedience, disappearing in the shadows without a sound with the intent to relay the messages for the Night Foxes to get ready,

“The System has found the possible location where the Demon Rat Scientists are residing and will pass the coordinates to Original Bellator Kraft.”

“What the heck? An underground facility when we are already ‘under the ground’? Looks like they took their rat nature very seriously.” Kraft shrugged his shoulders and gave a slight sigh, ever so quickly to change his mood. “Oh well, one deep underground facility is better than searching the entire Undercity, so let’s get this over and done with.”

“Thanks, Kraft and good luck. System, remember to put up a special point reward for the capture of those Corpse Catchers in case the Demon Rat Scientists route goes south.” Jin said and the System acknowledged.

“Looks like this will be a long night,” Jin said to himself as he anticipates the new development.
