Death… And Me

Chapter 1769 Jessica Tute

Roan nodded, satisfied. ”I know. You can head back to the sect. Itʼs right there outside the city. Gather everything you deem necessary for this mission before departing. Remember, the enemy will probably expect spies to appear. However, as long as you donʼt forget your training, you should be safe. Iʼm counting on you.”

Luan, Fosxin, and the others nodded in response before immediately leaving the room after that. A few moments later, someone knocked on Roanʼs door. ”Come in.”

Suddenly, several small carts entered the room, pushed by Ganhanʼs subordinates. There were many piles of documents on top of them. That wasnʼt all. One of the subordinates passed Roan a spatial ring with many jade slips inside, containing even more information. ”Sir, here is most of the information youʼve requested. Thereʼs a few more, but theyʼll take some time to arrive.”

Roan nodded in response. ”Carry all of them and come with me to the System Sect outside the city.”

Ganhanʼs subordinates were still confused about the sudden appearance of the sect, but it seemed like Roan had something to do with it. ”Understood.”

As Roan brought everyone to the System Sect, which was now out in the open, he also gave them more orders. ”From now on, all information related to the countryʼs management will be brought to my sect. Gather all the officers of the Rambram Sect and have them move their stuff into the offices inside there.”

One of the guys, a man called Frujolk, couldnʼt help but warn Roan, ”Sir, I understand you want to keep everything under control. However, we have already set up quite a good system to take care of everything. If you move everyone now, it might take months until weʼre back on track again.”

Roan shook his head, replying, ”That would be the case anywhere else. However, itʼs a completely different story for my sect. Just do as I say, and youʼll soon understand.”

Jessica Tute, back when the System Sect was first created, was within the first batch of cultivators recruited into it. During the first tests held by the sect, she performed greatly in the judgment test. It was even before the classes controlled by Sister Orb through the communication system were set up. For those who donʼt remember, the judgment test also decided the first temporary elders of the sect.

Since then, many elders lost their positions due to more tests that happened after that, but a few of them were able to keep their positions. Jessica Tute was one of them. Not only that, but she was just too good at processing information, so much so that she was put in charge of all the office-related issues of the sect. Since then, no one got even close to challenging her position. The girl was basically born for detailed and complicated management.

That same Jessica, who was having quite an easy time in the System Sect, looked at the piles and piles of documents and jade slips that Roan poured into her room. It was the first time that she felt things had gotten a bit out of hand.

Ignoring her current plight, Roan gave her a quick explanation. ”And thatʼs basically it. Pour all the information into the sectʼs system and gather the necessary people to work on them. Havek sent Vigs, who has a high level of authority within the sectʼs circuitry management system, to help you with the inclusion process. He can give you access to the specific files that you need others to see and add new people to the system. Youʼre now in charge of the country.”

Jessica couldnʼt help but look at Roan after hearing that, asking him, ”Isnʼt this a bit too much?”

Roan shook his head, replying, ”Thatʼs why I brought Ganhanʼs subordinates with me. Theyʼre well-versed in the various fields needed in managing a country, and the inclusion of the circuitry management system should bring it to a level that no other country in this continent can achieve. At the moment, Ganhanʼs subordinates are separating and starting to train the disciples in these same fields. Later, theyʼll come here and add everything to the system. Youʼre basically what Ganhan is to his subordinates now.”

Jessica looked at everything in front of her, muttering, ”This... is going to take some time.”

The guy that warned Roan, Frujolk, couldnʼt agree more. ”I told him that changing the actual system would disrupt things.” He did warn Roan that many months would be necessary to return everything to normal. In fact, he was conservative. He wouldnʼt be surprised if it took more than a year. One must remember that he and all the other Rambram Sectʼs subordinates would leave the country after one year was up, regardless of the countryʼs state at that moment.

Jessica looked at Frujolk and was happy to see he thought the same thing. ”See, Sect Master? He thinks the same as well. For us to process all this information and get everything back on track will take at least two weeks.”

”T-Two... weeks?” Frujolk felt like he had misheard Jessica. ”You mean two years, right?”

Jessica shook her head, replying, ”No, two weeks.” Jessica looked back at Roan after that. ”Sect Master, I would rather not mix the sectʼs information with this countryʼs. Thatʼs why itʼll take at least two weeks. Iʼll need Vigs to separate the circuitry management system from the countryʼs files. That means we would need new DPUs and things like that. Is that okay?”

Roan immediately nodded, telling her, ”You have my permission to manage the remaining Formation Masters of the sect to build the extra DPUs for the new circuitry management system. I also think itʼs a good idea to keep both systems separated, just in case.”

Jessica sighed in relief after that. ”In that case, it should be okay. But as I said, it should take two weeks or so to get everything back on track.”

Roan turned his back and began to walk out the door. ”Do as you see fit. Thatʼs why we pay you so much.” Indeed, Jessica was one of the elders that received the highest amount of Divine Stones. Of course, that was due to how important of a role she played.

Jessica smiled in response. ”I wonʼt disappoint you.”

Frujolk was still in disbelief as he thought, ʼTwo weeks? Ha! I just want to see how youʼll do that in two weeks!ʼ Little did Frujolk know that he would consider leaving the Rambram Sect two weeks later to join the System Sect instead.
