Tap Tycoon System!

"These evil bastards!"

Nathan can't help but curse as he reads more of the information that is shown on the screen.

The Illuminati ruined the harmonious life of the alien and the Naeco people by capturing the alien and doing experiments on it.

Which in the end, resulted in the creation of what the Naeco then called the Threat #13.

Nathan wanted to read more but suddenly—

*Bzzzt!*

The screen turned off by itself!

"Eh? What happened? Why did the screen turn black?" Nathan said in confusion,

Not long after, Nathan heard someone knocking on the door.

Turning his head in that direction, he wondered, "Eh? Did Mook climb up here?"

Since there is only Mook beside him in the camp, Nathan did not even have to guess to know that it is Mook who's knocking.

Opening the door, he really saw Mook standing outside.

"Mook, what's the matter?" Nathan asked,

"Leader, I just checked the Energy Vault and it seems like it's about to be depleted in a few hours. If that happens, everything in the camp will cease functioning, including the water barrier!"

"Energy Vault?" Raising an eyebrow, Nathan pointed at the black screen of the monitor above the control panel and said, "Is that also the reason why nothing is coming out of that screen?"

Mook turned to look at the monitor and back to Nathan, nodding his head.

"Yes, Leader. One by one, the things in the camp will lose power until the last one, which is also the water barrier, collapses."

"Is that so? Hmm..." Propping his hand on his chin, he said, "Take me there."

"Yes, Leader." Respectfully answered Mook.

Mook led the way, walking down the stairs and exiting the tower.

Once outside, they walked behind the tower and a few meters ahead, a 5 meter high battery cell stood behind the tower.

Since this is the first time Nathan went to take a look at what's behind the tower, he was surprised to see such a thing.

"Leader, this is it. As you can see, from this, the battery will die out soon." Said Mook as it pointed at the battery.

On the battery cell's body, there's an interface that looks similar to a phone where bars should fill it.

But right now, in that 5 meter high battery cell, only a sliver of energy is remaining.

After seeing it, Nathan didn't want to waste anymore time and said, "Mook, tell me how to charge this up."

"That," Mook scratched it's wooden head, with a dull expression, he said, "Actually, I don't know how to fix it as well, Leader."

Nathan paused, slowly turning his head to Mook, he said, "Are you for real?"

Mook did not reply, but from the expression on his face, you can already tell that he ain't one to lie.

Seeing that, Nathan sighed, "Well, don't worry about it."

As he comforted Mook, Nathan used appraisal on the battery cell in front of him.

[Power Cell - Camp]

[Details: An invention of the Naeco people. With it's high capacity battery it can last for centuries as it is.

Usage: Pour Null Energy Stones inside to store energy.]

….

"Hmm, it works." Raising an eyebrow, he said, "But it seems like fate really wants me to go here today, huh. For this battery to need Null Energy Stones, tsk tsk."

Just as he said that, without delay, Nathan called out the system.

"System!"

"Yes, host."

Hearing the immediate reply, Nathan nodded, he asked, "How can I take out the Null Energy Stones?"

Hearing Nathan's question, the system immediately told Nathan to materialize a Null Energy Stones.

Following the system's instructions, Nathan successfully got the Null Energy Stones out .

Looking at the stones in his hand, Nathan observes it for a while.

The stone looks just like any other stone that you can pick up from the ground, but somehow, the stones also exude an ethereal energy like waves from it.

"So this is a Null Energy Stone." Muttered Nathan, in fascination.

Shaking his head, he did not delay any longer, he immediately approached battery cell

At the side of the battery cell, it looks like there's an open compartment.

"This is probably where I need to put the energy stones." Saying that, Nathan threw the Null Energy Stone in his hand into the compartment.

Immediately, Nathan noticed the bar on the battery cell's body moved.

Seeing that, Nathan immediately used the remaining Null Energy Stone he had in him which is 100+ Null Energy Stones which caused the energy in the battery cell to suddenly sore!

Aside from that, this time, he was able to see the bar on the battery cell skyrocketing in one go!

As the bar reached the ceiling, a sound came out of the battery cell.

*Beep!*

[Battery Full!]

….

Once Nathan heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Well, finally done." He said,

Turning to Mook, he said, "Mook I'll be going back up. Call me if there's something else, okay?"

Mook, standing respectfully in front of Nathan, said, "Understood, Leader."

Nodding his head, Nathan turned around and walked back to the path they took earlier.

Not long after, he was back at the control room.

The monitor has also lit up and is running perfectly.

But at this time, Nathan did not immediately start typing.

He took a seat on the side and frowned.

On his hand is a Null Energy Stone.

"Hmmm, I did not expect that to power up the whole camp, the Naeco people are actually using Null Energy Stones instead of electricity." He muttered,

Intently looking at the Null Energy Stone, he said, "I thought you're just a product of the system for convenience… but it looks like I was wrong."

Honestly, Nathan thought of Null Energy Stone as just a made up currency of the system after the optimization.

But it looks like this energy stone is actually a commodity instead of a currency.

With the realization of that, Nathan slapped himself.

*Pak!*

"I'm so stupid."
