Chapter 563 System's Task

Chapter 563 System's Task

'May I know what the task I will receive from the system will be like?' Jack asked in his mind. At the same time, he was just thinking about what the system had said, not give him the ability, but instead, helping him in activating the ability.

[The task granted to the host will be related to the ability that the host will be assisted in activating. In this situation, since the host will be assisted in activating an ability that is related to his mind, the task that he would be granted will be related to utilizing that skill to do something.]

For the first time, the system was vague about the response that it gave. At the end of the day, Jack had actually not received the response that he was looking for. After all, what he had asked for was about the task that he was going to be given.

But right now, the system has just given him some clues about the task that he was going to receive, but, the task itself had not been revealed.

'Can't you just be straightforward?' Jack asked in his mind frustratedly.

[Ever since the upgrade off the host's authority to the second level, there was a change on the way that the system works. For that reason, the host will have to explore many things by himself.]

Jack: "…."

Jack was getting a little frustrated by the response from the system. Right now, he had already began fearing about the missions that he was going to be given by the system. After all, the one that he had been given previously was for him to be able to conquer an entire Stronghold that possessed several super powers.

And right now, the mission that he was supposed to complete was not even given to him before he accepted. That implied that no matter what, as long as he accepted to have an ability of his activated, then, that implied that there was no way that he was going to refuse the task that was going to be given to him.

Jack was not really sure about this mission. After all, right now, the thing that he did not want was for him to be given another task that had a time limit. But, as he knew the system, it was definitely going to give him a mission with a time limit because there was not even a single time that he was given a timeless mission.

Still, although he was hesitating on that part, there was still another part that he was curious about. That was, the system claiming that it was going to activate an ability for him, rather than giving him an ability.

From this, he could tell that he actually possessed an ability, but it was just that the ability was in an inactive form. That was something that he found strange, and he was really curious about the mysteries surrounding himself.

After pondering for a moment, Jack finally came to a decision. Although it was actually a kind of risk for him to be taking something like this, but at least, until now, he had not gotten any risk mission from the system, something that was going to make him die.

Of course, the mission that he had been given recently was something that if he went over without enough strength, then, he was definitely going to die if he just decided that he was going to conquer the entire Stronghold.

But still, that was something that depended on his choice. As for him being capable of conquering the entire stronghold, that was not a big problem. After all, it was not as if there was not anything that he could depend on.

There was the system that was capable of increasing his income by 100 times. For that reason, he was capable of improving way faster than other people. Additionally, the resources that came from the system could be utilized immediately, not requiring him to engage himself in strenuous exercises that took a lot of time and effort.

'Okay system. I accept the emergency mission.' Jack stated in his mind.

[Confirmed. The mind ability of the host is going to be activated. This procedure is going to take 5 seconds. During these 5 seconds, the host will feel a little dizzy and a bit of a headache.]

[The mission will be granted to the host as soon as the ability is activated.]

[Activation will proceed in 5…4…3…2…1…0]

The moment that the countdown hit zero, Jack suddenly felt that his mind had been flooded by a huge amount of information. At the same time, he felt slightly dizzy while at the same time, he felt that his mind was almost blanking out.

Other than that, he failed himself experiencing pain. Although the system had actually said that it was only a small amount of pain, but, a small amount of pain to the system was nothing to joke at when it came to reality.

Still, Jack was able to stabilize himself, although he stumbled for a moment. The expression on his face did not change at all. At the end of the day, he had already received a warning from the system, so, he was expecting that he was going to experience a lot of pain at this point.

Sylvia was a superhuman. For that reason, she was able to notice that there was something that had changed. She had noticed that there was something that Jack had done, making him stumble. But that was something that was supposed to be impossible considering that Jack was not even moving around.

Nevertheless, looking at the expression on his face, she decided not to ask about it. In any case, as long as there was nothing that concerned her, then, she was not going to care.

Instead, she just went back to thinking about the method that she was going to use in order to be able to activate the ability crystal bead. After all, depending on her niece was definitely something that was the last resort that she could utilize.

After enduring 5 seconds of pain and discomfort, suddenly, Jack felt that his body was washed by a warm current. For a moment, he felt comfortable that he nearly moaned.

But still, he was able to restrain himself. At that point, he felt completely relieved. At the same time, he felt that his mind was actually capable of processing a lot of information at the same time, enabling him to think faster than before.

At this point, Jack suddenly felt impulsive. He felt that he wanted to use his mind to suddenly tell Sylvia to do something. But, it was through his sheer willpower that he was able to prevent himself from doing something like that.

Of course, the impulsiveness only lasted for about 2 seconds before it completely disappeared. The moment that it disappeared, Jack felt relieved.

He then looked at Sylvia and said, "I will help you with activating that ability crystal bead. Other than that, I will also process it for you so that it can be injected into you so that you can receive the ability. But still, you will have to pay me for the services of processing the ability crystal bead."

Just after Jack had finished what he was saying, another system prompt appeared in front of him.

[Task for the emergency program: The host is supposed to find the whereabouts of his mother within one month, 30 days. If the host fails the mission, then, the ability that has been activated by the system will be removed completely from the host's body.]

Jack blanked out for a moment. To say the truth, the thing that he was least expecting from the system was actually for each to ask him to look for his mother's whereabouts. At the end of the day, how was his mother's location related to the system?

But, although he was curious about this, he did not try to ask the system about it. In any case, the system was just going to respond that if he wanted to know about it, he had to complete the mission first.

"…are you sure about that? You know, you don't have an ability that is related to the mind, right?" Sylvia asked. Of course, she did not know that Jack had actually been focusing on the system all along, and had only heard the last part of whatever she was saying.

"I don't think I ever told you that I don't have an ability, did I?" Jack asked with raised brows.

When Sylvia thought about what Jack had said, she realized that it was actually true. All along, Jack had not stated even for a single time that he actually did not possess a special ability.

It was just her and the rest of the people that assumed that he did not have an ability. Well, that was actually the truth. Though, this might actually not be true as well considering that the ability was activated by the system, and not given to him by the system.

"Okay then. But what kind of compensation are you going to ask about?" Sylvia asked.

Of course, she knew about the processing of the activated ability crystal bead. It was just that, that was something that could only be done in the big strongholds. Only people in those big strongholds were capable of doing something like that.

But right now, she believed that Jack actually possessed the ability of doing something like that. So, she was curious about what kind of price he was going to ask from her.

"Quite simple actually. I would like resources from you. I want resources that are capable of influencing a superhuman. The better they are, the better the chances of me assisting you in the future are." Jack responded.
