Chapter 1479 How To Earn Points Fast
"So what does that have to do with me? I can't possibly stop their offensive."
"No, you cannot. But you can interrupt their offensives." Archduke Dyke replied with a smile as he said that this is now possible with Jin's ability to kill people within the Virtual Space. "Infiltrate them and create a large, gigantic portal in their capital. If you are able to, pour some Mechanoids out of there or maybe monsters."
"Huh?" Jin thought it was cliche to do so. That was every dungeon related fantasy web novel that ever does, but when he thinks about it, there is indeed merit in doing so.
"They have to deploy troops in your dimensional instance to stop those mechanoids or monsters from pouring out of the dimensional instance." Archduke Dyke said and Jin laughed.
"I honestly do not think that they will take this seriously. My clones are useless outside the dimensional instance as of now. While throwing some Mechanoids out would warrant some investigation but I doubt they go full panic mode and pull army resources out of the way to intervene with my dimensional instance." Jin said that it is impossible.
"User, it is impossible because you do not have the points to do so. The Tactical System has shown that Mechanoids can vary in sizes and it is not uncommon to have a monster type mechanoid to be created."
"I got to spend more of those points and gold bars to create such a large dimensional instance. How is that fair for me as the points I earn would only be used to cover the losses I made? There is no betting system when it comes to fighting international wars, so there is no way I am earning profit." Jin replied that it is an endeavour that he would not partake if the profit is marginal.
"Then Master, you must have forgotten that you are in control of one of the most influential nobles within the Empire." Archduke Dyke shamelessly promoted himself.
"I shall bestow you the title of General, allowing you to gain access to a special department which I can create immediately under my name so that you can have the budget that you need from the Empire's Treasury."
"Why would you do that to reduce your points?" Jin asked as it does not make sense.
"This is because with the title General and Archduke, there are special perks that would allow us to earn more points should we expend points."
"As a General, the more soldiers you kill on the battlefield and the fewer soldiers that you have, died after sorting them out, you can earn additional points as reward. For me, if my subjects win a war after the resources I have provided have been deemed useful, I shall gain points as well. The Emperor automatically gains points too."
"Won't that be more beneficial to the Emperor than to me?" Jin felt compelled to ask.
"No, the Emperor sits comfortably on his throne with no risk involved. The points would not be as much as you on the battlefield. If you see the top few individuals who had the most points, it's usually the frontline middle rank officers that obtained them like the colonels and majors. And seeing how you always risk yourself to the point of no return, a general on the front lines would no doubt have the most amount of points in no time." Archduke Dyke surmised.
"Ah…" Now Jin could finally see where it was going.
"And like I said, the Empire fights defensively. Most of our generals gain their points through the act of defending their country. You are defying the nature of our army by attacking forth, granting you even more bonus points to do something out of the norm." Dyke concluded, and Jin understood how his new subject was able to help him seek greater heights.
"I am so glad that you are on my side right now." Jin smiled as he was relieved that he was able to find someone of importance within such a short period of time.
"However, all of this takes time and paperwork needs to be done. There will be some nobles who will reject my recommendation, especially since they are doing whatever it takes to get my favour. And if I used this Artridge incident as leverage for you to be promoted to General, there will be a lot of suspicious eyes looking at me."
"I understand, What do you need me to do to prove that I am worthy of being a General?"
"Like you said, a normal low level dungeon might be able to turn into a variant. But what people do not know is what happens if you cleared the variant dungeons multiple times? What will happen to that particular dungeon?" Dyke remarked which made even veterans like Raymond shudder in fear.
"The last variant dungeon I went to nearly killed me permanently." Raymond said. "I could not fathom what would happen if the variant dungeon turned into a unique extreme dungeon."
"Therefore, set up a base near a dungeon. I shall grant you rights as a Baron so that you have full ownership of a land near the dungeon. Also since Rocky is also under your command, it should be much easier to get certain stuff up as well. " Dyke said as he looked at the time.
"We might still be able to make it to that birthday party by coming in late." Dyke said, as if he had some other plans in mind. Jin also knew that whatever Dyke was doing, it was also going to be beneficial for him and the King so he allowed him to depart while he finally could have a chat with Rocky who now shamefully requested to have a peek at the module.
"Yea, I guess there is no harm now that you are under my command. Are you okay with it, System?"
"Having an experienced external party to look at the module may provide better utility and synchronisation. The System is still figuring out certain things and it might be useful for the chief assistant engineer to look at it."
"I am not exactly a programmer. But I might be able to pull some strings to get certain things done, else… we can always do this erm subject converting process for the programmer."
Rocky commented and Jin laughed.
"Then you better get a unique eccentric guy to do it. I am not going for the Chief programmer just because of his age and rank." Jin said as if it was a matter of that not all Chiefs are as godly as they think they were.
"I get what you mean, but the Chief I know could possibly be the type of person you are looking for." Rocky said as he will try to make some arrangement for him and Jin to meet. After all, there was already a bait set up, using the codes that Jin's War Maidens used to lure the eccentric Chief to come out.
If everything goes well, perhaps Jin would finally be able to create something out of those light novel and mangas. Not to mention, he might be the dungeon supplier that he fantasied all these time.
