Chapter 2405: The First Mission For the System

Mag had always agreed that the way to one’s heart is through their stomach.
Therefore, when Xi finished three bowls of rice and finished the last piece of red braised pork with a satisfied smile, Mag started his questions.
“Is it good?” Mag asked with a smile.
“Not bad.” Xi wiped away the oil on her lips a little uneasily.
“Three questions in exchange for this pot of red braised pork and three bowls of rice. It’s not too much to ask for, right?” Mag asked with a smile.
Xi’s expression froze. She glanced at Mag and said, “I’ve said it before. I’ve no authority to reveal any information about the Underground City.”
“Don’t be nervous. I just have some basic questions that do not involve any secrets.” Mag took a sip of wine and continued speaking, “Besides, since the people from the Underground City like to sneak up here so much, I’ll be able to nab one or two of them sooner or later. I’ll still get the answers to my questions from them too, won’t I?”
“This thought of yours is a little dangerous.” Xi furrowed her brows but she had no way of disputing Mag’s words.
There were hundreds of Underground City citizens who sneaked into Chaos City every year. With Mag’s current capabilities and status, it was indeed not difficult for Mag to nab one or two of them.
However, Mag’s thoughts had already infringed on the rules of the Underground City.
“In that case, I’ll begin. Question one. Is the Underground City controlled by the rich?” Mag went straight to the point.
Xi looked at Mag for a long while before answering, “No.”
“Is the army controlled by a central government or is it independent?” Mag asked again.
“I can’t answer this question.” Xi rejected.
“Did you guys send that mech over?” Mag asked his last question.
“No.”
“Alright, that’s the end of the three questions.” Mag raised his glass with a smile. “For peace.”
Xi watched him for a while before picking her glass up and finishing the wine.
“Actually, I have no ill intentions against the Underground City. It’s rather good if both parties can maintain the status quo and not have any interactions. Of course, that is only if what happened today doesn’t happen again.” Mag placed his glass down and said calmly, “My mother-in-law lost her life today and that fellow only lost a mech. I’ll remember that.”
The tension between Xi’s brows eased a little. She had already reported what happened today to the higher-ups. However, with her rank, she would never be able to get any response.
However, this demi-god mech was definitely not from the military.
It was for a very simple reason. The current mechs the military were using could not be compared to the one that appeared today in the Elves’ territory.
The demi-god mech was never even heard of in the Underground City.
One had to know that 10th-tier powerhouses were still the cream of the crop even in the Underground City.
There were so few Extraordinaires that one could count them with two hands. Most of them were reclusive elders.
Xi could already imagine the kind of reaction from the military if news of a demi-god mech appearing on the Norland Continent were to spread.
The military would definitely want this mech back.
Mag refused to give it up and she could not lay her hands on it, so the military would naturally send someone who could retrieve it.
However, it was just as Mag had said. The mech had killed the Elf Queen and dozens of elves today. Although the fellow hidden within the mech had lost a machine, he or she basically escaped unscathed.
Mag was unwilling to hand the mech over to her probably because he wanted to use it for a transaction.
“I’m still unsure who the one behind the mech is. However, even if you are unwilling to hand the mech over to me, there will still be people coming over to take it back,” Xi said.
“In that case, get them to bring over what I want in exchange for it. It’s a life for a life after all. I wonder if this logic works in the Underground City.” Mag tapped the glass gently to make a crisp tapping sound.
“Goodbye.” Xi got up and left.
“Bye,” Mag called out from behind her leisurely without seeing her to the door.
Mag fell silent as he watched the door close gently. He poured himself another glass of wine. After that, he asked inside, “System, have you learned it yet? If you can replicate it already, this mech can still be used to exchange for a stainless steel wash basin.”
“Host, are you even human for making a cuisine system do something like that? You’re forcing me to put my main job aside!”
“Aren’t you a system that is passionate about learning? Now that a product of an even more advanced civilization is right in front of you, can’t you be more eager to learn?
“You must know that even towards growing vegetables, one would still require a passionate heart that is eager to learn. Otherwise, how are you going to conquer and fight the different worlds with me?” Mag incited.
The System fell silent for a while before saying, “Why does that sound a little wrong? As a system, shouldn’t I be overseeing your learning?”
“As a System, it’s a fault to be a noob.” Mag dissed. “Look at Amy’s System. The printer it took out randomly was nuclear-powered. Tell me what can you even do?”
“I… I can grow vegetables!” the System retorted weakly.
“Let me ask you, then. If the people from the Underground City invade the Norland Continent, with your current capabilities, can you protect your farm and field well? Can you ensure that the fishes in your pond would not be fished out by them? Can you ensure that the wheat you put so much effort to grow would not be trampled by them?” Mag said.
“That… that won’t be possible, right?” The System’s voice was trembling.
“Right now, I will give you a new mission: dissect and understand this mech in three days, find a way to replicate it in seven days, and successfully make a replica within a month!
“Mission reward: a demi-god level guard!
“Punishment for mission failure: the possibility of transferring the rights for all your farms to someone else!” Mag said seriously.
“I accept… Hold on!” The System paused. “Why does something feel off? Why is the Host giving out missions to the System? On top of that, isn’t the reward made by me?”
“The mission has been given. It’s up to you whether you can complete it. Don’t you Systems have a group chat? You can ask your friends if you have anything you’re unsure of. Don’t tell me you even got kicked out of the group chat.” ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
“System learning in progress…”
A small string of words floated across Mag’s mind and the System logged off.
Mag was stunned. He said with a chuckle, “Gosh, it really got kicked out of the group chat? How embarrassing.”
Mag finished the alcohol in his glass and cleaned up the table and kitchen before going upstairs.
He did not go directly to bed after washing up. Instead, Mag went to the study room and took out Annie’s hand-drawn ‘Miss Black Cat’.
A man would not be able to earn the money he did not know he could earn and would not be able to tell the stories he did not know. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚
Vicki came from the Underground City and is a young mistress from a wealthy family. On top of that, she definitely had some connection with the military. That was why she could own a battleship and even know how to operate a mech.
Therefore, Mag decided to study the ‘Miss Black Cat’ that Vicki created. Perhaps the structure of the Underground City was hidden within the story.
