Dimensional Codex System I M Really Not A Cultist
/ Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist! Chapter 426
Chapter 426: 425 Chapter 426: 425 For Fang Zheng, the overall outcome of this battle was a resounding victory. He had acquired the rights to use the Naval Code and even obtained the Super Battleship Musashi. Of course, the way Musashi addressed him caused some confusion, but Musashi's explanation was…
“We Warships of Sea Mist are all born from the Naval Code, and since you, Master, defeated me but did not destroy me, in human terms it means you are my reborn parent. Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for me to address you as Master.”
And so, after Dragon Daughter, Fang Zheng gained another Warship daughter…
“I just can't accept it…”
Standing on the beach, looking at the Light Orb in front of her displaying the countdown of 10 hours and 30 minutes, Takao was clearly disgruntled. After this, Fang Zheng naturally lifted the Sealing, taking Musashi and Unicorn back to Sea Area 4, and by that time Rodney and the others had also arrived. Everyone was somewhat surprised at Fang Zheng gaining the loyalty of the Naval Code and Musashi. However…
“I still feel I can't accept this!!”
Like Takao, Musashi of course needed to undergo remodification and core data adjustment, but there was one issue that made Takao quite unable to accept it–now that Fang Zheng had obtained control over the Naval Code, Nymph no longer needed to brutishly and forcefully break through firewalls as before. Instead, she could simply use the Naval Code's algorithms during Musashi's reconstruction to re-enter and modify the commands.
That really annoyed Takao.
After all the fuss, was she the only one unlucky enough to be put through such agonizing torment?
Initially, Takao's reaction wasn't so extreme because at that time, she could console herself with the common saying: if there's one, there'll be a second. Having been treated this way, other sisters who surrendered would be the same. Humans are like that… The moment you think someone will share your misfortune, you instantly feel better inside.
But now… Takao despairingly realized that she was indeed the most unlucky one!
This instantly made her feel resentful.
Why, though? We're all Misty Seas. Why was it that when I was remodeled, I had to endure such torture, and all you have to do is lie there and wait for the remodeling? This isn't fair!
Watching Takao puff up with anger, Fang Zheng could only helplessly shake his head. Iona and Vampire weren't around at the moment–Rodney's bombardment was indeed terrifying. When Fang Zheng returned with Musashi, Rodney had already sunk the entire escort fleet. Fang Zheng, of course, would not overlook their fleet cores. So Iona went with Vampire to salvage the cores, and Rodney began to recover–in the previous battle, she too had taken quite a bit of damage. Although her structure wasn't hit, the repairs would still take some time.
“Alright, you've had a tough time as well, Takao.”
“Whimper…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Takao's face flushed, and she turned her head away.
“It wasn't really that tough… after all, that Warship was just too overpowered…”
Takao was actually telling the truth this time. Rodney's firepower was too fierce; a sweep of her main gun over the sea surface almost annihilated the nearby vessels, leaving Takao effectively as a spectator providing backup for the duration, simply following Rodney around for the show. This made Takao feel somewhat downhearted. Although she knew as a Heavy Cruiser she couldn't compare to a Battleship, the gap seemed just too vast!
Now was the moment!
Seeing Takao with her face turned red and turned away, Fang Zheng took a deep breath and then widened his eyes.
At that moment, time stopped.
“…So… uh… what's wrong?”
Speaking to this point, Takao was startled and then realized that Fang Zheng had somehow moved from behind her to her side, smiling gently as he looked at her.
“Alright, you all have your own duties, no need to brood over this. There's still a lot of work to do, and you'll have your chance to shine.”
“Of course, of course!”
Upon hearing this, Takao blushed and huffed softly.
“I'm going back first!”
After saying this, Takao turned around, embarrassed, and walked toward her warship. However, as she walked, the girl furrowed her brows and reached back to touch behind her.
“Huh… why does it feel chilly down there?”
“Phew…”
Watching Takao leave, Fang Zheng let out a long sigh of relief and then looked at his right hand, which was tucked in his pants pocket–and at the white triangular fabric, still warm with body heat, that he held in that hand.
“Forgive me, Takao, players will stop at nothing to gather materials.”
For the moment, Fang Zheng had nothing better to do than to quietly apologize to Takao in his heart.
But just as he said, just because Fang Zheng had obtained the Naval Code, it didn't mean that other Warships of Sea Mist would bow down to him.
In fact, after that, Musashi told Fang Zheng that a very important reason she had taken him to see the Naval Code was that they hadn't received any orders from it for a long time. Originally, when Sea Mist first appeared, they had received clear orders from the Naval Code, which was “to banish humanity from these seas,” and it was because of this clear command that the Misty Seas began to act.
But now, human warships were almost extinct at sea, and the Misty Seas were at a loss about what to do next. However, the Naval Code hadn't given them any further instructions, leading many Warships of Sea Mist into a state of confused inertia.
Some of the Sea Mist–like Takao–unable to bear the boredom, began to seek opportunities for self-change. Yet many others continued to follow the previous command, patrolling the waters until the next order from the Naval Code arrived or the world ended.
But now, the Naval Code had been absorbed by the Dimensional Codex,
which meant the Sea Mist warships would never receive orders from the Naval Code. Thus, Fang Zheng either had to persuade them or defeat them… there were essentially no other options.
Therefore, Fang Zheng understood why the upcoming free missions were so troublesome… It looked like the rest of the time would be spent grinding high-difficulty maps and then… gathering materials?
At that thought, Fang Zheng felt a pang in his liver… but it wasn't such a bad deal after all.
Putting the still warm fabric into his pocket, Fang Zheng then opened the system interface and looked toward the store. He had to admit he got tricked by the system this time, but… his efforts weren't wasted!
Looking at the system interface, the corners of Fang Zheng's mouth lifted slightly, and he reached out to hit the “Online Store” and open the “Hidden Exchange Type.”
Soon, the store's interface changed before Fang Zheng's eyes.
“Hidden Exchange Module Unlocked”
“Star Spirit Technology Exchange Mode Activated”
“This time, I haven't made a loss at all…”
Seeing the “Mothership Core,” “Folding Gate,” “Control Core,” and other buildings and technology listed in the store, and at the very bottom, “Spear of Aton,” “Pride of Autaris,” and “Memory of Neshin,” Fang Zheng let out a long sigh of relief.
Even though the system had hit him with a critical blow of ten thousand points, this trade… was not a loss at all!
