Chapter 1441 Mysterious Request

As Jin was fiddling with the new system that had been wrapped around his head, he could not help to miss the old System. The manual which he had opened up through the holographic display was extensively long and there was no summary or a list of need to knows. It was a through and through technical manual that needed to be read up beforehand.

The Grey Bear Commander attempted to use his Inverse Eyes hoping that it could still work in this new world that he had been shoved into and found that they could still be relied on. He was initially worried since it seemed as if his soul had been popped into another person's body and in the context of this current world, he was not supposed to have any cultivation or innate traits. Yet, he was secretly elated that his Inverse Eyes ability still worked and he could feel a faint sense of magic and chi circulating through his body.

But from the way they spoke, it seemed as if that death might not be a permanent thing but considering that the Panda Clan members that had been inundated by the System had the tendency to not be resurrected again, it was highly likely that trait would also be brought into this world since he was able to use his abilities.  That was also why as Jin tried to read the manual as fast as he could with his Inverse Eyes, there was a part of him that was distracted hoping that he could still reach for the System.

That is until he saw a blinking notification at the side of the holographic console that only he could see (according to the manual.)

Using his mind to 'open' the notification, it was a request to join the Grey Bears but there was no name or face attached to it, citing the priority status as 'urgent'. "Hey everyone, erm just a few minutes ago, there is this request notification that popped up asking to join the Grey Bears team."

"Weird, there should be no one within the vicinity," Yinn said and asked to send her a screenshot of the request. Jin fumbled a little upon doing so since this was his first time attempting it. The interface was not as smooth as he had experienced with the System.

"Could be spam or worse, malware." Click chuckled.

"Or maybe it is the enemy, we must not stay here for long," Diaz warned and Yinn calmed the rest of the team down.

"No such bullshit, only Commanders can send such messages and the Central Command has to filter before allowing such an invite to be sent to us. The only backstab I could think of is that the Mechanoid or Commander who sent this request might have an ulterior motive or even betray us." Yinn explained before sighing that the chances of that would be rather minuscule. Mainly because any commanders or Mechanoids that had been found betraying the squad would be set up for a significant bounty, allowing the entire Empire to hunt and haunt them.

"Unless that person is crazy enough to sabotage us for this mission."  Diaz tried to reaffirm her suspicions but the rest eventually ignored her warnings.

"Screenshot received. Yes, there are some commanders or Mechanoids who refused to send out a picture or name. A little bit dubious but they can request to mask their identity by the Central Command.  Usually, these people prefer not to let people know that they are there, probably sniper or assassin class mechanoid who had something to gain through this mission. " Yinn said as she checked the screenshot a little more thoroughly.

"But to have their ID blacked out as well, it seems we might be allying with some very powerful individual who really wants to keep it a secret that he or she is here," Yin added.

"Perhaps, we can collect some fee for allowing this person to join!" Click said and Tellie knocked her helmet.

"Do not push it, having an extra pair of eyes and gun to help us through this mission would already be godsent. Worse case scenario if we interact with them, they might even kill us by 'accident'. You get my drift?" Tellie, who was a seasoned PTE, said her experiences out.

"As what Tellie had said. I will suggest you allow the invitation. And whether they come to help us would be a different issue. We still got a mission to complete." Yinn recommended and Jin listened despite him being the commander since he was still new to all of this.

However, as he pressed the accept button, he could feel a short sting going through his brain, like a sort of brain freeze. He wondered it was because he was not used to the feedback of having such an obsolete System under his control. Once that was done, Yinn recommended they moved out soon as Jin's reading up on his new System was taking too much precious time.

"We will improvise as needed." Yinn picked up a vest without any armour plate and passed it to Jin. After all, she did not expect him to be on the front lines.

"No," Jin replied firmly as he continued to read the rest of the manual telling them to wait a little while longer.

"Why? We will be missing this golden opportunity.  Right now, it's in the middle of the night and we had evaded their bombardment. They would definitely be sending their guards out to search for us. If we move out now, they will not be able to catch us and we can use this chance to slip into the base halfway. "

"Then all the more we are staying here," Jin said as he tried to continue going through the manual but the rest of the War Maiden were not approving of his commands.

"Fine. we will stay." Yinn bit the side of her mouth and told the rest to stand down. One reason was that commanders' command is mostly absolute unless it harms either the commander or War Maidens. And also, she wants to see how this commander was going to go through this whole ordeal.
