Chapter 323 - 15 Days (1/2)

[ Empire's Fleet ETA: 15 days ]

Not many days were left before the Empire's force would start appearing in their territory.

Ace didn't want to get pressured but problems after problems started occurring.

After he fixed Wallace's blunder in their Moon Base, he strengthened the Base's defense and made added supplies in case other structural problems started appearing.

He also prohibited his other self to use his Void Phase here, as it truly causes some form of disruption even without activating their security system.

It seems that the skill powered by his enhanced Astral Core was quite destructive.

[ The Mechanic have started working and as you instructed, they're working on weapons that they can use in a fight and helps in producing Mech Knights' parts. ]

”Very good. I hope there are no big issues with this.”

[ None at all. At most, these Mechanics wanted to create a Mech Knight that isn't powered by a Mana. Also, due to the huge numbers of Mechanic coming in, there might not be enough work for them. ]

”I see… Anyway, they want a Mech Knight similar to Lotus? Mhmm… What are your thoughts?”

[ Waste of resources. These average humans don't have brain-boosting abilities. Not even something similar to gene enhancements. Mech Frames or Mech Knights are not suitable for them. ]

”I see…”

Ace nodded at this.

Avalon was right, an average human doesn't have the capacity to control such a large machine to a satisfactory level.

They may be able to make it fly, run, or shoot, but fighting in large battles that requires extreme map awareness and swift movements might be too much for them.

”Oh… I still have the recipe for Body Strengthening Potion, correct?”

Ace remembered the reward that Wallace received from the Pathfinder.

He managed to produce some of these and used them as a real item reward during the recruitment phase of the Alien Invasion.

The random rewards from Pathfinder allowed him to give away impressive items that attracted a lot of powerful organizations to invest in the game.

One of these is the said potion. Although it was only categorized as 'S' or small, it should be more than enough for the average humans.

[ Yes. ] Avalon answered.

”Alright, include the Berserk Potion with it and give these recipes to them. Let them produce as many as they can.”

[ Affirmative. We'll divide their work into Mechanic and Potion-Brewer. ]

”How are you planning to divide them?”

[ We have stopped the productions of the VR Pod so we will have enough machines and automatons to work on the Knights and Spacesh.i.p.s. We will need fewer Mechanic at this point so we will have 70% of them work in the potion industry and the rest will work as Mechanic. ]

”That sounds good.”

Ace may have miscalculated the number of normal humans coming to his organization but he's more than happy to help them.

Making them strong will also help him even just by a little.

”Aside from that, coordinate with Yumi to help them create some weapons like guns or something. We'll need to get the government's help to start with that so ask her or my senior apprentice.”

[ Affirmative.]

Avalon dutifully answered.
