Chapter 536: Too Many Things, Too Little Time

“User, System has to remind you that a Mega Instance or Multiple Cross Instances are not possible, especially after the implementation of the Tree Mall without the Brain of a Living Mechanical Titan. You will have to travel to the Mecha World for that particular task.” The System stated even though Jin remembered.

“Didn’t you see that I was trying to push the deadline so we could have more time on our side to deal with the Farming World and Mecha World? Not to mention, you told me that this hamster prince requires help in the Giant World as well. Oh and that’s not even mentioning King Baal in the Dungeon World who could visit us next month…”

“Liberating the Farming World should open up potential farming fields to you that will be useful in the future. Agricultural Sector 1 and 2 can only accommodate that many fields for User to utilise.” The System began listing the options.

“Sigh that would be great, but we cannot fully liberate it until we can gather all the rats. And as luck would have it, that is also why we need the Mega Instance for the military exercise so that the military and police can clear it up for us.” Jin added in as he pretended to look through the documents for a while and asked Grandma Yuan to give him a bit of time since he needed to move all the important documents to his office. (or the Dungeon Maker to be precise.)

“Correct. In order to achieve that goal, User has to travel to the Mecha World. It appears that there are already skirmishes between the two factions. The United Federation and Xeon Union.” The System informed Jin who was already in the Dungeon Maker.

The dungeon supplier quickly opened up the System’s Database (Even though it was still limited viewing for Jin) and did a quick check on the United Federation and Xeon Union respectively.

“The United Federation is the one that has the Living Mechanical Titan, right?” Jin asked as he saw the Mecha World news of the skirmishes. If one were to compare Mecha Animes and robots of the Mecha World, Jin could only say that they were similar to the start of the original series of Gunndam. Whether there were Mewtypes or the likes of it was another matter. (Mewtypes in the Gunndam series were portrayed as psychics.)

“Now wouldn’t it be such a coincidence for the author of these to originate from the Mecha World and by some freak teleportation incident, he got sent to Earth. Having no way to go back to the Mecha World, he started drawing about them.” Jin theorised wildly as he saw some striking similarities to the Gunndam and the Mechas used in the Mecha World.

“That possibility may not be as likely as User believes. However, please note that said story writer does not originate from China, but Japan.” The System corrected him, willing to play along with Jin’s outlandish theory.

“I …could help you track him down.” Zeru came out of nowhere and volunteered to help out. He was startled for a moment, and Zeru continued.

“…My wife was from there. It would give me some time to visit her grave before the new year. At the same time, I can investigate your hunch.” Zeru humbly requested, and Jin saw a twinkle of sadness in the eyes of his Sword Saint.

“Do you need a teleportation from the System? Things might have changed after a few…erm decades.” Jin did not question his Bellator any further and immediately gave him permission to visit his wife’s grave.

Zeru greatly appreciated the gesture.

Even if it were not for the coincidental comment he made, Jin would still have given his Bellator the opportunity to do something he wanted.

Nevertheless, the Dungeon Supplier was entirely sure it had to be a mere coincidence like how the Deep Ones had been portrayed by Lovecraft. Peppers had mentioned before that when humans dream, they might inadvertently connect to their ‘other selves’ in worlds different from the one they were living in.

While it initially seemed farfetched to Jin, especially when he was brought up to lean towards the ideologies of science and technology, Peppers explained that the universe was ultimately governed by the concepts of Chi and Mana instead of the Big Bang theory. (She added that the concepts Earth developed for Mana and Chi were still primitive in nature compared to other Worlds and it would take decades and maybe centuries to be able to properly grasp it.)

In his bellator’s theory (In a simplified manner), whatever Mana was used, would return to a universal pool of Mana and that Mana would eventually be distributed to other beings. Be it the same world, or other worlds, the distributed Mana could have a residual effect that allowed beings to have a glimpse of the ‘other’ worlds.

Jin did not want to believe it, but with his own exposure to the System and his experience in other worlds, that particular explanation was theoretically sound. Only strengthened when he factored in the God’s and Demon Plane’s Existence where the plane of Demons was spread across the various multitudes of the different Worlds it could appear.

“System will deduct System points accordingly and provide Bellator Zeru sufficient information on the story writer. Make sure not to reveal User’s identity nor the System’s.” The System instructed Zeru, who was immediately given a change of clothes as well as a fake identity card along with it.

There was some money for transportation as well, and the System told Zeru to call upon Kraft when he found the target. Other than that, it should be a quick reconnaissance to check if he was a Dreamer or truly a person that transmigrated to Earth by accident.

“If you need anything, give me a holler. I will be right at your side.” Zeru thanked Jin sincerely for the chance to visit his beloved grave as he was teleported by the System. The System transposition his memory into coordinates so as to ensure he was teleported safely (and out of people’s view.)

“We will keep this Mecha World in view. But I am also concerned that we have a fighting chance. The Dungeon City Fortress are still producing experimental designs, and we do not have sufficient natural resources to work on them AND the city.” The dungeon supplier briefly looked through the construction process for the Dungeon City Fortress.

“As for the Farming World, we might not be able to kill all the rats, but we should be able to disrupt them enough to force more rats to appear or at least push them to reveal some of their hidden trump cards they were hiding,” Jin said, and the System acknowledged his opinions.

“Alternatively, User could aid the Hamster Prince. It might potentially result in more minions for the fight in the Farming World or Mecha World.” The System pointed out.

“He is not asking me to conquer his world, right?” Jin joked again, and this time Qiu Yue was conveniently summoned by the System to the Dungeon Maker.

“Nope, all we need is to lead a strike force against a disgruntled clan, while simultaneously perform a rescue operation to get all the other villages under Hamster Prince’s banner into the System.” Qiu Yue answered when she realised what they were discussing.

And the Red Panda Cultivator sounded as if she already had a plan in mind.
