Sam entered seclusion.


Five and a half months pa.s.sed.


Sam broke through to the Level-2 of Nascent, his body was partially morphed and with the addition of the body tempering, the cultivation has become extremely painful.


But he still reached the second level.


In these five and a half months many things happened.


Although, he was completely immersed in manufacturing and cultivating, he still kept in contact with the outside worlds.


Five months ago, Arman broke through the Nascent stage and went to the thunder G.o.d temple. He even made up a story that Sam has chased him for three days and severely injured him, but he still escaped.


And he even blamed all this on Sam"s arrogance for not using any tricks and wanting to kill him all by himself, so he was given a chance to escape.


He took all that while just to heal himself and recover. The story was quite plausible and the higher-ups didn"t doubt him.


They are also ecstatic that Arman was able to break through to the Nascent realm.


Actually, with the will destroyed, Arman shouldn"t have broken through that easily, but the thing is his will was remolded. From now on, whatever Sam said he would do and his sole focus would be only on that aspect.


Even though, this sounds foolish, that beating did really give him an advantage in cultivation. All his unwanted thoughts and instincts were suppressed and only his thoughts for a breakthrough which stemmed from the commands of Sam remained, making him seek enlightenment faster than he should.


He didn"t contact Sam after that, he has something to say and Sam guessed that must have been something related to that of Indra, but he didn"t want to be disturbed.


Apart from that, he mostly spent his time making the Bee puppets and the screens for them.


As for why he chose Bee as his first puppet, there are not many reasons, he felt like the body is easy to design and the components are easier to make. If he has designed an animal like a dog or any bird the component requirement would be too high and he doesn"t have enough experience in combining modern robotic designs with spiritual energy.


So, the Bee puppet only has few abilities which and its main ability will be scouting.


Even though it uses the spiritual energy from the energy cells, to work, the concealment formations are inscribed on it and there is no way it would be easily recognized. Even the powerful beasts and cultivators, could only sense a faint amount of energy waves.


So, they will be here easy for scouting and such. The attack abilities of the Puppet are also not so bad. They can be used for sneak attacks on beasts when hunting, military scouting, and so on.


As the puppet has its own spirit, if the spirit is nurtured further, then its memory will increase.


But there is one more important function for them that is only useful for Sam. He can override any of the other"s control on the puppet and the puppet has a communication device in it with which it can send information when it is in vicinities of the network.


With the new machine, he can make a puppet in four hours. Everything that takes time, heating, cooling, and molding, everything was done on the machine easily and efficiently. If he has to do that with bare hands, he would die of exhaustion and might take a whole day. That"s almost twenty hours of time wasted.


He did produce the puppets in a large number and they all are not exactly for sale.


Apart from puppet manufacturing, he practiced his battle moves and started working on his design for the next puppet. Since the first one succeeded and after the examinations, he has opened doors for a lot of improvement.


As for other things, the whole western continent underwent a huge change.


Five months back, all the parks are shut down for a period of time and even the railway network was stopped, that is because of the contract termination.


The lockdown went on for fifteen days until the organization finally recruited individuals good enough for the job. But what the outside world doesn"t know is, they have to swallow a pill before they could join.


Sam was almost overwhelmed with the number of light wisps that appeared in his mind.


But they have no choice, even though, he didn"t force the lower employees, everyone in the management roles should take the pill no matter what.


He doesn"t want to take any chances. The organization slowly went back on to the track.


Even the new construction that was being done in the nearby woods was almost complete, Sam speculated that it would be finished by the time he comes back from the thunder G.o.d temple, it would be done.


As for the things with the a.s.sociations, they are completely frustrated. The business for the a.s.sociations has declined. Half of their manpower was gone and they are looking for new recruits. They wanted to recruit the ones from the n.o.ble families, they wanted to get into the tower at that time and are rejected.


After all, the status of a tower"s employ is far better than an artisan in a family, but they couldn"t help feel disappointed when they tried to recruit.


They were rejected completely, almost every artisan or any other professional for that matter are all travelling towards the Sam"s city.


That is because after some of the recruits in the first phases of the recruitment are a.s.signed the roles in the parks and the perks that they were given, the families started to send their people to the city one by one.


To their surprise, there is not much prejudice in selection. It is just that the position of their recruitment is affected based on their capabilities.


But along with the position, a.s.signment of the role, and all the perks, they are given some books on the knowledge. Actually, knowledge is the basic knowledge of materials, metal properties effects, and some other basic workshop methods that can be used.


Even though they are not extremely advanced, they are still useful and solidifies their basics. These are for the lowest positions. Similarly, the books on the other professions also differed.


But the matter of the books is not being disclosed to others. Almost every professional in the organization knows about it, but no one other than them knew. That is the only possible due to the Pill of Servitude.


The a.s.sociations are stumped, what infuriated them, even more, is that the people who wanted to join the organization doesn"t even need badges or anything else, as long as they are able to showcase their abilities at the a.s.sessment, they can join.


As for Philip, Jack, and Watt. Three of them broke through the Nascent stage, but they were busy. They don"t have any time for stray thoughts. Watt is in charge of all the Orphans. His duties vary from giving them some physical training to that them teaching them some disciple.


On how to behave, how to talk and how to eat.


Jack is also extremely strained as Philip took his a.s.sistance; a.s.sistance is just a sophisticated way to it. In fact, he dumped half of the work on him. The only one who is extremely free was Sirona. She worked the least out of all people who are involved.


Philip received many of their old friends this time. Kelly came to the city and took on a.s.sessment, she is in the late-stage of the Great realm. Apparently, her cultivation was stumped.


But her artisan skills are excellent and she was able to recruit.


Shawn was there, this self-proclaimed handsome genius was able to reach the middle-stage grand realm and he even met Jack to boast about it.


But he was kicked out of the room because Jack who is already frustrated by the duties was extremely annoyed by this guy.


Chaya, who was a tower head in a Marquis city and descendant of the former duke of the Orion, also came. Even though her family was destroyed and many of them are sent to become War slaves, she still has her t.i.tle and position in the a.s.sociation.


But after the termination of contracts, she resigned from the job and came for the recruitment of the City.


She was quite decisive actually and didn"t even hesitate.


While everything calmed down, Sam who just came out is currently watching the reports from Arman, it is about the progress of parks in the other empires under the thunder G.o.d temple.


The construction of the parks is about forty percent complete. Almost six months and they couldn"t even construct half.


In fact, the construction part is very fast, the main problem is actually the decoding, Sam taught the English numbers to architect and thus they can understand the order of constructions, but the three organizations have to decode step by step.


They don"t want to give up.
