Number One Dungeon Supplier

The third night of endless fighting continued and with the unexpected alliance of the Demon Rat Researchers, Jin felt that he could finally take a breather from the war for a while. The fight would undoubtedly continue through but he felt that he had already gained more than he would have wanted from this particular war.

To be able to find the 'source' of the Demon Rats, their Birth Mothers and with the science team under Kraft's lead, Jin could annihilate the rest with a rush of troops or even hit the big red button and destroy their main communication headquarters. After which, he could easily send a massive bombardment of missiles from all the money he had earned from the entire PandaVerse Festival.

The only problem was that he did not find that it was useful because every single minion under his disposal was vying and itching to have a piece of the fight. Everyone was preparing for this day and it would be an injustice for his minions to not be able to have a taste of the battle that they had been training so hard for.

Thus, Jin had decided to leave it to the System to handle the rest of the fight since he believed it would be best for his second in command to take over while he handled something more …delicate. For your information, he did not pass it to Kraft because that self proclaimed had no right to it no matter how much he declared that he had the right to do so. Moloch came in to fill in the seat for Jin. (Although it was evident that the crafty devil always loved to poke his fingers into things that were not his. Thankfully, Moloch had sufficient experience to shoo him away.)

Jin went to the temporary instance in the World of Sanctums, where he housed all of his minions, in order to talk to Dr Transquick who was busy filtering out all the documents they had haphazardly thrown into the instance when Kraft told them to do so. (That Fox had bought more than enough time for them but it was a mere habit of him to rush those who didn't know him.)

But just as he was about to speak to the Demon Rat Research, Kraft suddenly emerged right behind Jin just as he tried to spook Moloch to give his command away to him. "No, Kraft. I am not stealing your 'prized loot' away. I just need to talk to him with regards to the Farming World."

"Damn, and here I thought I could give a grand speech about how I found the perfect being of science and later demanded a trial of honour- a battle to the death for real so that I can have my rematch." Kraft instantly yawned at the current situation and decided to back off.

"I will give you sufficient funds for you to start up your own lab, Kraft. I find that the prospects of having two science teams cooperating and at times doing their own unique projects would bring some healthy competition to the table. Besides, we needed more dudes knowledgeable in engineering and your Demon Rats are actually something I honestly had hoped we could get as spoils of war." Jin told him that he frankly did not believe they would be able to get the Demon Rat Researchers considering their soldiers' behaviour.

"Considering that Mage General Prideblood had decided to dispose of us instead of sending guards to protect us, I figured that it was the right decision for the rest of my research team to change the hand that feeds us. Besides, the contract that our…new leader-" Transquick had to clear his throat after saying those last two words.

"The contract was comprehensive but it was equivalent to submitting to slavery in exchange for generous amounts of funds for our research. Still, I find that this is fair considering that we are guaranteed the same treatment as the rest of your… the monsters under your command." Transquick said and Kraft laughed. Even Jin could not bring himself to say that it was not exactly equal especially when the entire Demon Rat Research Team will fall under Kraft's explicit tutelage.

Still, if they were a bunch of people who were curious about the outside world, they would definitely flourish under his pressuring demands for new and crazy gadgets.

"In any case, the objective of meeting you here is not to goad or confirm your 'slavery'. I am more concerned with information that I desperately need. Things like where are the North and South scholars or what is the objective of digging so deep to access the lifestream. Why do you Demon Rats wish to eradicate the rest of the human population."

"That's a lot of questions to answer even for a smart rat." Kraft joked but Transquick did his best to explain whatever he could since he had already been inundated into the System. The first question was easy to explain especially when he was the few who utilised the scholars' magical artefacts and were able to sense the loss of mana rights from those items.

Even though the news eventually reached him, the research team already knew what was coming and they were cranking up their projects to make sure that they could replicate the effects of those magical artefacts they were using.

"Those Warmongers had no idea the kind of situation that would happen when they killed the scholars. They only wanted power and they got it at the expense of the entire society. That was also when I felt that we might lose the war when we saw the kind of armaments you humans brought into the fight." Transquick said as he had prepared dozens of escape routes which involved the use of the magical artefacts but Jin's monsters had unknowingly destroyed them when they raided the caves and hideouts according to the System's scan of the Northern Region.

Jin asked the System if his minions had managed to acquire any of such magical artefacts and the System said that it did not have the time to sort it out. "All items the minions had looted were stored in a temporary instance and would be sorted out on a later date when the war had been officially concluded." The System reported.

"Well, that is not as important as the second question you asked," Transquick said as he asked Jin to follow him. "My machine will show you the answers that you seek.
