A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 488

Chapter 488: Chapter 364: Guidance_2 Chapter 488: Chapter 364: Guidance_2 According to the clues Duanmu Huai gathered from the memory of Devil King Ji'Er, this world currently seems to be controlled by a mysterious entity. If one was to liken it to a game, Duel City would be the game's core, while the entire continent created around Duel City is a large-scale MOD developed by the opponent using the game's core.

This explains the oddly developed civilization of the continent. After all, the materials used to create the MOD come from the game's library. As a “fighting game”, Duel City is set in a near-future backdrop, so it's only natural to have elements like television.

Moreover, since melee weapons of various kinds appear in the game, these materials could be directly used… It's pretty much this kind of type.

Of course, if it was only this, the game's official operator would surely take measures to stop it. Unfortunately, it seems there is no “official operator” for the game at the moment, and it has been taken advantage of.

Duanmu Huai wouldn't tolerate such behavior. Just for the fact that the opponent created the “Demon King” and “Hero” – in-game icons that gain pleasure through slaughtering humans – they're already on the Tribunal's purification list.

However, it's still unknown who the opponent is… and after so many years in that world, finding them out… Hmm, one probably has to start with the devil king.

It is unclear who the current devil king is. After all, Ji'Er is a sealed former devil king, meaning there should still be a current devil king in this world.

“Creak.”

As Duanmu Huai contemplated, the doors of the projection hall were opened and a group of disheartened people emerged.

“Oh, have you finished watching?”

Greeting the girls in front of him, Duanmu Huai gave a nod. Maria, in response, lifted her head anxiously and looked at Duanmu Huai.

“Judge, can we really work here?”

“I don't know what to say, but… I feel as if we've come to an incredibly significant place…”

Kendou Kanami looked pale at the moment, unsure of what to say, and Masou Shizuka next to her furrowed her brow, watching Duanmu Huai.

“If those images are real, I don't think Maria could make any contribution to the Tribunal. The gap between the two is simply too big….”

“I'm aware of that, but you did see the Tribunal is short-handed. Besides, I do not need Maria's mechanical engineering knowledge, but her experience.”

“Experience?”

“Yes. You should know that the process of mechanical engineering is strict. Since you managed to manufacture the Riemann-Rust Tank, you should have a rough understanding of the Tribunal's processes. Knowledge can be learnt, but experience… that's something we are seriously lacking.”

Duanmu Huai did not have time to establish on-site training, so recruiting those with experience was obviously more convenient.

“So… what should we do?”

“I've already contacted someone for you. She should be here soon… Oh, there she is.”

“Sir Knight!!”

As Duanmu Huai was speaking, a voice rang out. They saw Kukulu, panting and out of breath, running over from the other side of the hallway.

“Haah… haah… I heard you were getting more people?”

“Yes, it's them.”

Duanmu Huai pointed toward Maria and her team of girls from the Tulip Fleet.

“They've successfully manufactured the Riemann-Rust Tank with current design and process in their own world. They have basic engineering experience. I'm leaving them in your care.”

“Oh, thank you so much!”

Seeing Maria and the girls beside her, Kukulu's eyes shone. Her primary problem was a lack of hands on deck. Although the puppets could take care of some repetitive and simple tasks, there were many tasks that only humans could perform. Seeing that she now had more hands to work with, Kukulu was close to tears.

She rushed up and grabbed Maria's hand.

“Hi, I'm Kukulu, currently working in the Tribunal's Mechanical Military Department…”

“Ah, hello, I'm Maria…”

“We can do the introductions later, come with me now!”

Without waiting for Maria to finish, Kukulu eagerly led Maria away, with Maria's Tulip Fleet following after them.

“I'll go and have a look.”

Masou Shizuka gave Duanmu Huai a nod and followed after Maria, leaving only Kendou Kanami standing there blankly. Seeing she was left alone, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and anxiously looked at Duanmu Huai.

“…What should I do?”

“Well, you should…”

“Ah —- Found her!!”

However, before Duanmu Huai could say anything further, Ann's voice rang out along with Greiya's and Audrey's, interrupting him. Turning around, he saw Ann leading Greiya and Audrey over, surrounding Kendou Kanami.

“Are you Kendou Kanami??”

“Ah, yes, may I ask…”

Facing the group's gaze, Kendou Kanami was quite nervous. Hearing her reply, Ann flashed a light smile.
