As I was in the middle of two hills at the back of the mansion, I was watching the construction of the Mind Chamber with boredom. Then, I open my mouth to speak to ease the boredom that had been pervading me."Vonix, could you explain what Mind Chamber is capable of in detail?"
["Affirmative, Mind Chamber is a chamber that was capable to read memories and even insert memories to a brain of a living being"] Suddenly a monotone voice appeared.
"What, insert? Then making years of fake memory is possible?" I open my eyes wide, shock upon all kinds of possibilities that Mind Chamber is capable of.
["Positive, with Simulation Pod connected, it was even possible for Host to enter someone"s mind and mess with it"] Vonix added.
"Thiss…. Aren"t that mean, that it was possible to insert fake memories to someone and make them loyal to you?" I thought to myself in excitement and horror of what this technology was capable of, as what I was able to think was only able to scratch the surface of its capability.
Then as I was pondering that, I remembered the pile of beast that has been hunted in the hills and forest to the east by the robot"s army.
It has been three days since I sent them to expand east, and they manage to find bigger iron, copper, t.i.tanium, and other metal deposit, making it enough to construct the Mind Chamber with leftovers. They also hunted a lot of beasts such as Azure Fanged Wolf, Thunder Bear, Black Poison Viper, Hawk Eyed Eagle, and many others, and all of the beast has a strength of around level 1 to level 3 extraordinary lifeform or around 1st Rank Knight Apprentice to 3rd Rank Knight Apprentice.
"Such a waste, if I were to sell all of it, I won"t earn that much since I could just mine and synthesize gold coins." I inspect the pile of corpses of the monster that had been hunted in the side with a condescending look.
The reason I set up the Chamber of Commerce three days ago was to find an excuse for the amount of wealth, also finding more information about this world, and to gather influence in the ma.s.s. As it"s not like I could synthesize an unlimited amount of gold either, and synthesizing other common goods like gla.s.s mirror, valued more than gold equal.
As I was pondering what I might do with the corpse, suddenly a monotone voice interrupted my pondering.
["Host were suggested to make Biological Chamber and make Synthetic Beast army"]
"Synthetic Beast? A hybrid between a robot and a beast?" I was excited at that thought.
Robot or Golem in this world could only achieve so much power because of their material limitations. Even when equipped with super-advanced technology, they will still be destroyed when attack with extraordinary lifeforms. It"s true, that even when destroyed, the robots could be recycled but still.
"So, if the two of it could merge, it will bypa.s.s a material limitation and possibly achieve something stronger than the former. They might even be capable to practice qi or magic or something similar." I thought in that prospect full of antic.i.p.ation.
Then, I ordered Vonix to construct the Biological Chamber with the leftover material, and I continue my practice for a few hours waiting for completion.
"To achieve 2nd Rank or higher in Apprentice Knight Stage, I need to open one by one the acupoint in all parts of the body, either legs, arms, stomach, or head." I pondered, as I began to practice my breathing technique.
"Since it will be needed for me to have higher mental power to control the robots, later on. I will first focus on opening the head acupoint first." I decided for opening the head acupoint first since I don"t want to be at the frontline being a meat shield.
"Vonix, could you deducted how long would it take for me to open the second acupoint?" I asked curiously.
["Positive, with the data gathered from host current rate of cultivation and data gathered from the technique, it will be needed two weeks at the fastest, with high nutrition liquid help to achieve 2nd Rank Knight Apprentice."] A monotone voice replied.
"That"s too long," I said in dread while shaking my head dejectedly.
Normally, for people to promote from 1st Rank Knight Apprentice to 2nd Rank Knight Apprentice, months or even years will be needed.
Unknown to me, if anyone were to hear what I just said, they will die from the madness of my ignorance.
["With the nan.o.bot technology that was recently upgraded, it will be possible to forcefully open the acupoint but it wasn"t suggested, as that will limit host"s potential and possibly damage the body, also hosts just recently had a promotion a few days ago which makes it even riskier"] replied Vonix unemotionally.
"Then forget about it, I guess, I could only do it the conventional way." I sigh in disappointment.
Fortunately, even with the conventional way, with the support of nan.o.bot and high nutrition liquid, two weeks isn"t that long.
Hours pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye; the Mind Chamber and the Biological Chamber finally finished being constructed.
As the Mind Chamber was the first to be completed, I decided to check it first.
Inside the Chamber, there were many empty tubes with all kind of equipment inside, to could attach to a head or a brain. There were also Simulation Pod in the side to access someone"s memory and a hologram projector.
Of course, I didn"t forget to bring gloomy Magus"s corpse with me. As I ordered the robot to put the corpse inside the tub, the equipment inside attach to the head of the Magus by itself. Then a monotone voice suddenly appeared,
["Scanning Initiate… Scanning Completed…"]
Just then, a projection of memories appears in the hologram surrounding me in the center, showing all kinds of memories. Memory of the gloomy Magus when he was still an infant to when he was now. Even all kinds of memory that may have been forgotten were shown here.
"Vonix, search all of the valuable memories of his and store it in the database!" I ordered as my eyes shine in the wonder of the technology I just see.
["Affirmative"] Vonix replied.
Just as he replied, a projection of memory appears in front of me, showing all kinds of important things in his life. Secret, Information, Treasure, and even the Magus Meditation Technique were shown in front of me.
"So, it was like that, no wonder they attack my territory without hesitation." I thought in realization as my hand was holding chin.
The gloomy Magus"s name is Jevior Houston. He is a 5th Rank Magus Apprentice that was working under Count Sanchez and the Raivia Magus a.s.sociation. He is an alumnus of the Magus Inst.i.tute of Ralonia, the real force that controls the Raivia Kingdom.
He was the one that incites Count Sanchez to send his knights and attack Xendra"s territory. The reason he has done so is that he was searching for a ruin of a lost Ancient Magus located in Xendra"s Territory. He has been stuck a 5th Rank Magus Apprentice for a dozen years and was so desperate to promote into a real Magus.
In the beginning, as he was searching for ways to promote in a library, he found a book containing a diary of a lost Magus with a map showcasing the location. Initially, he was confused and suspicious as no one else ever found the book but as he was desperate for power, he doesn"t care.
Then he came to Count Sanchez for cooperation, as he was still in the apprehension of the mysterious ruins but as the ruins were located in Xendra"s territory. He and Count Sanchez schemes the downfall of the family. First, he curses Wyne"s former parents. One of the reasons Count Sanchez agreed with him is that he wanted to occupy Xendra"s fief for himself and expand his domain.
As to not make others suspicious of the mysterious death of Xendra"s family, he cursed and manage to killed them in a natural way, like sickness and accident one by one. As Wyne"s former parents died, he then cast his gaze to Wyne, and manage to kill him in the stair accident which making way for me to transmigrate to his body.
After he knew that he failed to kill Wyne, he with the Count"s knight army, posed as a bandit and attack the Xendra territory to take it by force but alas he died, before being able to accomplish much. And that"s what happens.
"To think that there is a ruin of a Magus near here." I pondered that possibility astonishingly.
"If I could explore and collect all of the treasure inside, wouldn"t it be wonderful?" I clench my fist in eagerness by that prospect of wonder.
"There is also the Magus basic meditation technique but as I was in the middle of practicing knight breathing technique, I will set this aside for later, as Magus path needed more research and information before I intrude on that path." I excitedly said.
After that, I decided not to check the Biological Chamber first but instead went to the Synthesize Chamber, to choose and begin ma.s.s-producing common goods to be sell in the Chamber of Commerce I just built.
As I reach the Synthesize Chamber, I begin selecting the common goods that will sell like hot cake to the people of this world.
"Archimedes Pump, soap, gla.s.s mirror, nails, rubber, sewing needles, and much more" As I was selecting the common goods, I decided not to have too much variety for now, as that will technically bait way too much suspiciousness. I also make the iron tools, that I take from the people before to be given back.
Then as I was waiting, I decided to call Sebastian to get him know. As the One-star Fortified Base had been built, it was now possible to make more nan.o.bot, the base was also used as a relay. So, I decided to give some to Sebastian so that we could have instant contact and communication.
"Vonix, connect me with Sebas," I said to Vonix.
["Affirmative, Connection Initiate… Connection Establish"] A monotone voice replied.
"Sebas, are you receiving me?" I called to the other side.
"Whaa…. Young Master, are you just talking to me?" Suddenly a surprise voice was heard from the other side.
"The liquid I gave you two days ago was actually a microscopic golem capable of instant contact from far away," I explained in detail with a wry smile.
"It must have been an invention of the Young Master"s Master; he must be an amazing person to be able to create something wonderful as this," Sebastian replied with an astonished expression and voice.
"Ehemmm…" I cough with a little shyness, then continued, "That aside, the reason I called you is to tell you that the products that will be sold in the Chamber of Commerce is ready, and also the tools I take before will be replaced now, bring the guards to the outskirt of the hill in the back of the mansion! I will be sending my golems bringing the goods."
"Yes, as you commanded!"
Then, I cut the connection with Sebastian before ordering the golems to bring the ready goods, finishing my business in the Synthesize Chamber to go elsewhere.
