Chapter 330 World's Core - Quest's Core
Hikaru listened while stroking Fellea's face, she was like a kitten, as she silently enjoyed his caress.
Hearing Narita's words, Hikaru frowned, he felt that the people of this world were treating the mixed-bloods like animals.
But Hikaru was not angry, after all, he had no relationship with them so he did not need to be angry because of them.
On the contrary, he felt a little happy. That's right, the way the people in this world were treating mixed-blooded people would make it easier for him to develop his territory.
Hikaru could turn this place into a paradise for mixed-bloods, where they can live and be treated fairly.
Also he didn't think that he was a god, who loved all the creatures. He was only looking out for himself.
After all, it would be easier for a mixed-blooded person to abandon their current residence for his territory compared to a player.
Hikaru thought for a moment, and after a while, he said, "We don't need armies to make meat shields like you said. I have a way to build my own army."
When Narita heard that he did not refute, he just gently nodded and asked: "So... how do you plan to do it?"
Hikaru rubbed his chin, currently he only had normal monster cards, and none of the monster cards were like werewolves or other monsters similar to werewolves.
After all, the military was not a place for monsters without brains.
Besides, he also didn't want the army to be filled with only monsters he summoned, so the residents would start to feel anxious later on.
At the very least, he needed more residents or mixed-bloods to enter the army.
"I will think about the military issue later. The problem that needs to be solved now is that of the security team and workers, along with the materials to build factories and produce goods."
Hikaru sighed, he had already solved the problem of the policing team. Currently, there was only the problem of labor and the resources used for production.
Though he can let Anno use the Lucky Dice to get more resources. However, the resources in the resource bag that other players sold to him only contained resources for construction.
Due to this there was enough resources to build houses for residents, while resources used for production were scarce.
That is a big problem.
He also couldn't buy resources from other kingdoms, so it was as if he was feeding all the inhabitants of his domain.
All the residents of the territory had to work, produce and create goods.
"Wait! What if we add a function that issues quests on the ID card?"
Narita heard that and replied: "No problem, if that's the case, the transaction would still go through the Core Rune, so no one can cheat."
"However, crafting a Rune to track and confirm the players who have completed the quest is quite difficult."
"If I am the one to make that Rune, It would take me a year or more."
"Is it that much?" Hikaru frowned and asked.
"That's right. It's an extremely complex Rune, it combines many factors such as tracking, validation, anti-cheat ..etc. It will be a huge project."
Hikaru nodded at that, it seemed that things were more complicated than he thought.
[Master.] Suddenly, Rika's voice rang out: [I can help you create that Rune.]
Hikaru cheered: "Really?"
[Of course. But for that rune to work, another Core Rune is needed because Runes for adventurers are extremely complex and require a lot of energy to work.]
[But you don't need to create a powerful Core Rune like the current Core Rune, the one you create just needs to reach the level of the "World's Core Rune".]
[Then you can Link the new Core Rune with the old Core Rune.]
Hikaru was overjoyed hearing that, he said, "Okay. How long do you need?"
[Not long, about 2 days should be fine.]
He nodded and said, "Thank you, Rika."
[Ah… Master, I said you don't need to thank me, these are all things I need to do.]
Hikaru smiled, then looked at Narita and said, "I see, I'll take care of that problem, you don't have to worry."
Narita nodded at that: "Um… well, there's no other problem. If those problems can be solved, the other problems are not so important."
That's right, if the problem of manpower and territory management were solved then the other problems were just minor problems.
Narita and Hikaru discussed the planning of the territory for a bit, then Narita left.
"Um…" At this time, Fellea opened her eyes, smiled and caressed his face: "It seems… Rika is helping you a lot…"
Hearing Fellea's words, Hikaru was not afraid, he just sighed and said: "Haizzz, you know about Rika's existence?"
Fellea nodded slightly: "That's right. After all, there are many existences like her in this universe. They were all trying to prolong the last bit of their lives to accomplish something very important."
Hikaru frowned and asked, "Rika's life..."
"Do not worry." Fellea smiled and said, "Thanks to you, Rika doesn't have to face death. But it would take a very long time to create a body for her."
Hikaru nodded: "It's okay, my lifespan is very long. As long as Rika doesn't die, I can help her create a suitable body."
Fellea smiled, she kissed him on the cheek as gently as a dragonfly that was gliding across water.
"Don't worry, I'll help you."
"Um… Thank you. But… have you solved your problems already? Besides… is it true that you destroyed the Divine Realm?" Hikaru asked because he was also curious about her.
"Um… There's a lot of things but I can't tell you. Trust me…just wait a bit, I'll tell you everything, including my past…"
Hikaru shook his head: "I don't care about your past, I just want to know if you're okay. Will the Divine World pose any threat to you?"
Fellea's hand that was caressing his face suddenly stopped, she smiled like the most beautiful flower in the world and she said: "Hikaru, don't worry. Now I can be by your side forever, even if you send me away, I won't leave."
Hikaru chuckled, "Why would I chase away a pretty girl like you?"
…
Narita, after leaving Hikaru's office, still felt confused in his heart.
That's right, even though he realized that gods weren't as untouchable as he thought they were.
He also realized that Hikaru was a very special person but he also could not easily throw away the faith that he had cherished for over 30,000 years.
Narita stood in the hallway, next to a large office door, the sunlight shone on his face.
Sensing the warm sunlight, Narita looked outside, and looked at the beautiful sky he had never seen.
So beautiful…
He had never seen such a beautiful sky.
Even when that angel came to this world, and brought with him a divine aura, the sky at that time was not as beautiful as it is now.
Could it be… Will Hikaru really become the ruler of the new era?
Narita looked at the sky for a long time, then just shook his head and thought to himself, "No… my faith can't be broken so easily."
"Even though Fellea showed me images of gods, I believe that not all gods are like that."
"She also said that the Divine Realm is just a grain of sand in the desert. That means there are many other God Realms. There are many other gods in this universe…"
"More specifically… in this place there are two gods, Saraya and Fellea, who will be able to help me rebuild the Church once more."
…
At noon, Hikaru gathered everyone in the dining room to have lunch. Of course he also brought Fellea and introduced her to everyone.
At first, there were countless explanations for Fellea's presence in his mind.
However, it seems that when she appeared in front of his other women, they weren't surprised at all.
On the contrary, they were all very friendly towards Fellea which made him feel very surprised.in his mind he wondered If this was the aura of the main character of legends?
As no matter how many Harem members there are, there would be no conflicts, and everyone would be friendly and happy with each other?
No… maybe it was because Fellea's identity was very special. After all, she was an existence that surpassed gods, perhaps everyone was afraid of her power so that's why they were cordial with her .
In fact, everyone knew of Fellea's existence through Rika. And of course Fellea also met Rika and the others through their special ' space'.
However, the only person absent right now was Vuni. Hikaru could only sigh, and hope that Vuni could come back.
…
After lunch, Hikaru entered the room where the Core Rune was stored to create another Core Rune.
He named the first Core Rune "World's Core", while he named the Core Rune used for tracking quests "Quest's Core".
The Quest's Core didn't have the same massive power source as the World's Core, but it was still enough for 1 million people to use for 10,000 years without any energy shortage problems.
But the World's Core was different, although he told Narita that the energy inside the World's Core was enough for 1 million people to use for 100,000 years.
In reality, the energy inside the World's Core could be enough to be used by 100 million people for 100,000 years, this was 100 times the number Hikaru had told Narita.
Besides, Hikaru also did not tell him that he can recharge the World's Core or continue to evolve it to a higher level.
He felt that Narita didn't need to know too much right now.
After creating the Quest's Core, Hikaru placed it in this room with the World's Core.
And of course the one who managed everything was still Rika. He was afraid that she would be overwhelmed, so he advised her not to try too hard.
However, Hikaru seemed to have underestimated Rika's ability as she said that she could control 1,000 World's Core at the same time and still be able to 'have fun' with him without any problems.
At this moment, Hikaru felt that Rika seemed to be a hundred times more terrifying than a god.
