Chapter 43 - Base Of Operation I
Chapter 43 - Base Of Operation I
"Use this to dispose of the bodies" Micheal retrieved the highly flammable liquid he bought from the system and handed it over to Gaya.
"And don't forget to take their space rings if they have one, don't call Jack this time," He said and turned his gaze towards the terrified elders and Claire.
"Sect Leader Claire, Elders, those heart-healing pills, who needs them?"
A sudden sadness emerged in Claire's eyes when he asked. She then sighed
"Follow us"
With Claire leading the way, they arrived at a house adjacent to the building where they met Hart. A couple of girls and boys in orange uniforms respected them when they arrived. Inside the house, he was led to a room that seemed clean and well organized. Also, he immediately smelled a strong medicinal smell.
Surprisingly in the middle of the room, Elder Sandra was laid down in bed, unconscious and really pale. He could immediately sense that this was not something caused by injury but a terminal illness, like cancer. However, unlike earth, he had the ability to concoct pills to cure Elder Sandra.
"How long has she been like this? The last time I saw her, she was fine"
He sat beside Elder Sandra on the bed and observed her condition.
"She had been like this for the last three years, she would only get better when she took a healing pill but lately the healing pills stopped working. That was why we wanted to give her the heart healing pills" Claire's words made sense as the heart pills were much effective in healing terminal illness like this better than the normal healing pills.
"Although you were right to give her healing pills, it only kept the illness from spreading to her whole body, not to cure her. Sect Leader Claire, you should have used the heart healing pills in the first place, then the illness would have gone by now "
"We can still cure her right?" Claire didn't act like a sect leader at the moment but she seemed like a helpless weak girl who was concerned about a mother figure like Sandra.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
"We can't cure her with Heart healings pills, it's too late, we can slow down the illness "
"No! it can't be" tears already started to well up in Claire's eyes as the elders looked worried and shocked.
"Sect Leader Claire, don't cry, I said we can't cure her using the heart healing pills but we can use another potion to completely cure Elder Sandra"
"Really?!" She quickly wiped off the falling tears and asked with delight.
"Yes, I can brew the potion, no problem at that but it's hard to get the required herbs and ingredients, let's wait for my friend, she would know where can we buy and how much the prices are "
"Are you talking about me?" Gaya made a timely entrance to the scene and halted her steps when she saw Elder Sandra's pale body
"She doesn't look good, what happened to her?"
"Black bite" This was the terminology they used in this world for cancer and when she heard the name, her brows went up.
"Now before you say something, tell me where we can buy these and how much it would cost us?" He quickly wrote everything he needed to brew the potion that could cure Elder Sandra.
"I've never heard of a pill or a potion that could cure Black bite" Gaya shrugged as the elders and Claire looked at Michael.
"That's because no one knew about this potion except me"
[Does the host want the Sunrise sect to be his Base of Operation?]
"Wait, what is this base of operations feature? Explain yourself System, before you ask me to do anything"
[The Base of Operations is a similar function to the Subordinate feature. The Host can acquire a whole organization as his Base of Operation]
"What's in it for me? Even though Gaya was not a jackpot, she had proven her worth by giving me some valuable intel, and also, she's keeping me entertained. What can a declined place like the Sunrise sect give me ? I've already done them a huge favor by joining them"
[When the Status and Legend of the base of operation increase, the host will receive badass points]
His objection to making Sunrise sect his base of operation slightly wavered after he heard the system.
"Hmm, like I received experience points for Gaya's killing?"
[Any actions like killings performed by Subordinates can only give the host experience points, not badass points. The Base of Operation can give the host both Experience and Badass points]
[Higher level the Base of Operation is, More points will be awarded to the host!]
"How many points are we talking about?"
[That depends on the level of the Base of Operations!] he was sure that he felt a tinge of irritation in the robotic voice of the system.
[The lowest level of the base of operations can give the host 50 Badass points and 500 Experience points for a week]
"The highest level?"
[...]
There was no response from the system to his last question as he started to think about making Sunrise sect his Base of Operations.
"Tell me, I can have more than one base of operations?"
[Yes]
"System, why now? I mean I've been here for three days and you've never said anything about making the sunrise sect my base of operations"
[There are three main requirements to be met for an organization to be Host's Base of Operation ]
[The Organization's survival must depend on the host ]
[Every member of the Organization must be weaker than the host ]
[The Leader of the Organization must be at least have 60% loyalty to the host]
"It seems me killing Hart left a mark in the young maiden's heart, hehe, so easy"
