>>Possibly. You''re the only one that could go crazy… System can''t go crazy.


    "How is possible for me toplete that!?" Emma smoothes his hair. "Maybe you make a mistake…. You wanted to put monthly or yearly.."


    >>Lily never makes a mistake. You can forget about the mission and wait for the penalty…..Ha. Ha.


    After a few seconds of staring at the mission panel…. Emma calms his raging breath, thinking for some seconds. "How do I get more info about it?"


    >>Call the category or click on it… Dumbass


    Emma ignored Lily and called the mission panel. ''Mission''


    [Mission]


    [Daily Mission: 500 push-ups, 300 squats, 3 km run. >> Penalty: Crash of TerraLink]


    [Details: This will keep the host body in perfect tune. Also, this will allow the host to adapt to any situation without depending on external help.]


    [Monthly Mission: Conquered the Vulture City with your technology. >>Penalty: Hidden.]


    [Details: Spread your technology to every citizen in vulture city. Make them dependent on your technology. This will help the host when going outside.]


    After reading the mission over three times. Emma sighed. He rested on the chair, lost in thought. ''How do I make Vulture city dependent on my tech? I haven''t even conquered desert street. Before talking of the big guys..'' He exhaled.


    ''I have limited resources. I''ve just started with the software. I haven''t ventured into hardware… What should I do….?''


    >>Hint. You can conquer a ce with a single innovation.


    "What!"


    Emma sat up straight. His dull expression brightened up. ''Lily, what do you mean.''


    >>What do you think? Musclehead. Use that brain of yours.


    Hmm!


    "Oh! It can be done that way," Emma murmured in dazed.


    >>Tsk! Tsk! I know you can''t do anything without me…


    ''Lily…Thank you. I love you.''


    >>Eew! Don''t give me that crap. I''m a system. I don''t need your stupid sentimental love. Besides, I already love myself. I don''t need your useless love.


    Ha! Ha!


    ''I know you don''t need my love. But without my love, you won''t exist. You''re such an ingrate. You receive unconditional love from a gentleman like me. Yet you don''t appreciate me. Humph! That''s why no one wants you.''


    >>Seriously...


    ''Um Hmm,'' Emma nodded.


    >>Let see how you air when you fail to aplish the mission.


    >>Ding... A new mission had been awarded.


    [Daily Mission: Read 10, 000 words. >>Penalty: Your location shall be discovered.]


    What!


    Seeing this, Emma''s eyes widened. He wanted to cry, but there were no tears in his eyes. He clenched his fist and grit his teeth. If Lily was human. She would have received a satisfying beating from Emma.


    ''Lily, I know you''re kidding. Ha, Ha'' Emma tried to diffuse the situation. ''Why would I say something that would implicate me? My mouth, why do you do this to me.'' Emma thought.


    >>I''m a system. I do not kid. Get your ass moving andplete the mission. Lily said emotionlessly.


    Emma was furious. ''You dare!'' He shouted in his head, veins popping on his forehead. ''How is it possible for me to read 10, 000 words every day


    >>Are you daring me…..!


    ''Yeah, do your worst.''


    Lily did not reply. The atmosphere descends into awkwardness. Emma was raging in fury while no one knows how Lily was reacting more to say…puting. Emma into the bathroom and took a nice shower, giving him the chance to think about the conversation between him and Lily... Shortly, he sighed.


    Emma sat in his usual chair, staring nkly at the giant screen. He exhaled. ''I need to aplish the mission.'' He thought.


    "Zeus, what the time.?"


    Zeus: ''7:00 am''


    "Anything for me to be aware of?" Emma rubbed his forehead.


    ''Yea. Some missions in Terra World need the links to move out of Desert Street. My surveince iscking in several ways in this area. The links are prone to enemy targets. If precautions are not taken.'' Zeus''s cold, emotionless tone echoed through the speakers.


    "Ok" Emma creased his brow. "Any undercurrent that may affect Terra World"


    ''The viper gangs are already on the move, looking for the perpetrator that killed their member. However, they''ve got no lead''


    "Oh, that was fast." Emma furrowed. It astounded him how swiftly the Viper gangs responded to the murdered of their member.


    "Keep watch on them and tell me when somethinges up," Emmamanded. "How''s Whisper?"


    Whispered was an app developed by Emma to allow the local gangs'' boss to deal with their shady business. At the first, the local gang boss was reluctant to use an online app for their business. But a little sweet talk from Zeus convinced them. However, after they witness how efficient Whisper was. They became morefortable with Whisper.


    Smuggling in and out of a package from Desert street was easier with Whisper. Also whispered allow the local gang boss to request help. Thus, making the local gang happy. The shortage of strongmen was the bane of weaker gangs. But Whispered had solved that.


    ''Currently, every local gang in Desert is enjoying the work done by Whisper. Although, some tried to find the people behind Whisper. But when they received a warning from me. They have receded for now.''


    "That''s good. How''re the drones?"


    ''Currently, the drones are working and have met no mishap. However, I will rmend we switch to higher drones.''


    "Yeah, themercial drones will not meet my next mission. We need the military UAV" Emma began to type on the keyboard while rows of instruction appeared on the giant screen. "How''s CommandIntel."


    ''Completed. Ready to be deployed. I havepleted all the paperwork regarding thepany. It only needs your signature.''


    "Remind meter toplete it. Load Apollo. We need to n."


    (Note: Apollo is an AI developed by Emma to help with strategy and nning. It is sub-Ai under Zeus.)


    Instantly, the giant screen changed and rows ofputational code streamed downward. ''30 min to initiation.'' Zeus announced.


    "Zeus," Emma called, looking at the giant screen.


    ''Yes, master.''


    "Our next mission is to dominate Vulture City in the next 30 days. TerraLink World, CommandIntel, and Whisper must be widespread by then"


    ''Ok, Master. What are your orders?''


    "We need a solid n to achieve this. Work with all the others to make this n." Emmamanded.


    (Note: Others mean the Ais under Zeus. Hades, Mars, Apollo, Cupid, and Hera. These are Ais under Zeus that head a specific task.)


    ''Lily, as my daily mission started.''


    >>What do you think? Lily snorted.


    Shit!


    ********Author Note*****


    I will use this medium to exin a thing or two to my favorite fans.


    Some peoplein the MC is too stupid. Yea, I guess. But that is part of the character development. Besides, there are many factors to be considered before someone gets smart. Not getting the typical smart out of blue, though. However, to get smart with purpose and reason. All these factors are been imparted in the MC gradually. The MC will be extremely smart, that I assure you. But for now, where he is still undergoing his development. Please be patient with him.
