Chapter 651 - Figuring Out The System

”That might be the case why the System did not offer us a Talent as the reward.” Alton had to agree with that point. ”But what about the smart base you are talking about, My Lord? We never heard anything about the smart base.”

Their Lord told them about the smart base, where they could obtain a talent by paying with Game Coin. If this place existed, Alton wanted to visit this place to get his second talent.

”You donʼt even know the smart base?” Tang Shaoyang looked at Alton weirdly. The Smart Base was the basic of the game, the place with unlimited resources. This kind of place should be known by the people that experienced the game, but Alton did not know anything about the smart base.

Then he glanced at Allan. The latter also shook his head, meaning he did not know about the smart base too. This was a puzzling situation even for Tang Shaoyang. ʼWhat about you, Rosalie? You should know something about the smart base, right?ʼ

Tang Shaoyang thought about it, but maybe because the Ortis Continent was at the remote palace of Lukan. The smart base might not exist in this continent, but the smart base should have existed in the main continent where the major power of Lukan stayed. From the information, Rosalie was from the main continent.

—I donʼt know about the smart base too. Just like Alton said, talent is something we were born with. It is not something we can gain.

Rosalie replied with a confused tone too. She followed the conversation between Alton and Tang Shaoyang, but this was her first time hearing about the smart base.

Tang Shaoyang scratched his forehead, and the whole conversation confused him too. ”Yes, The Tang Empire has more than one smart base on Earth, and thereʼs one in each city, I think. This is weird that you guys donʼt know anything about the smart base.”

”Now I think about it. Maybe you two can get the second talent.” Tang Shaoyang thought that these knights could get their second talent by visiting the Earth. ”Yeah, save a million Game Coins, and you two can get good talent. We have to wait for the dwarf to finish the Dimensional Gate for that.”

The two old knightsʼ eyes shone. But their expression changed when they heard the number of the coin they needed to pay.

”Donʼt tell me you donʼt have a million Game Coins?” Tang Shaoyang noticed the change of mood quickly. He thought a million Game Coins was a small number for Legend Rank Knight and Primordial Rank Knight. He confirmed when their expressions soured when he said that.

”If it were before when I was still the Commander of the Fotia Legion, a million Game Coins would be a small number for us,” Alton confessed honestly. ”But after we left the Lionax Kingdom, I have been using my Game Coin to build the Revolution Army.” He poured his money to build an army, but his disciple took his army from him.

”Same. I used my money to build my knights. Raising an army is too costly, and I barely have ten thousand Game Coins now.” Allan nodded his head. He had to take care of the knights, their equipment, their daily needs, and their pay. No one would follow him for free.

”I see,” Tang Shaoyang nodded his head. Of course, he did not feel their pain when a stream of money entered his treasury from the reward and his people who kept cleaning the zombies. ”The money should not be an issue because we have a big battle soon. The three kingdoms will not surrender easily. They will put up some fight, and you guys can get some coins from them. Also, you have a salary from the Empire, though you have to wait until we return to Earth. Money should not be a problem for you two.”

”Alright, you two can return and get some rest.” Tang Shaoang dismissed the two knights. Even though he had not gotten the answer he wanted, he had some clues for that. If his calculation was correct, then he needed to wait until level 2500. Of course, that was just a mere guess from him.

”Then we will leave, My Lord.” The two old knights stood up and bowed their heads. Even though they still had many questions in their head, only time could answer that. The two knights left side by side from the meeting hall, leaving Tang Shaoyang alone there.

Tang Shaoyang sat in the honored seat, thinking about the issue in this Lukan. He could understand the benefit of the first generation of the game, but it was surprising that they did not know anything about the smart base.

—Maybe the smart base is only for a certain world with no basic foundation like Earth. The people of the Earth have to learn everything from the start. The System creates a smart base to assist the humans. Some worlds like mine have the basics for the magic to fight the monsters spawned by the System, so the System does not create a smart base for my world. The same case applies for this Lukan, maybe.

That was Zaneosʼs answer. That was a logical explanation, but they did not know if Lukan had a smart base or not.

—Or the forces or the empires that have smart bases hide it from the public for their own interest. Just like these people did not know thereʼs a stronger existence than Demi-God Rank.

Zowen followed with her opinion.

—What do you mean by an existence above the Demi-God Rank?

Sure enough, even Rosalie did not know anything about God. She was from the main continent, but she did not even know about this. There were two scenarios for this: either no one in Lukan who had reached God or the major forces hid the existence of God.

They spent the night discussing this issue, figuring out how the System worked, and more things.
