'What is wrong with the president this ti? Just because his wife has been unconscious for several years, he has decided to use all the funds in the country to sponsor this project, just to wake her up?' The scientist who were already trembling could not help but question themselves.
Of course, although they thought in that way, they did not dare to say anything loudly. Otherwise, with the personality of the president in front of them, then, they believe that they might end up dead the following day inside a certain random ditch.
Having already said what he wanted to pass across, Newton stood up and left the conference room. He was really irritated at the fact that he had been running the project for several years now, but still, the project was not showing any signs of success.
But, it was not just this that was irritating him. It was yet another fact that, he had been given this mission by soone. But, that certain soone was not providing him with the funds that were required in order to run the project.
Initially, before he began the project, he had received the equipnt that were of a high level as compared to the ones that were found in the country. Additionally, he had also received so fund to fund the project. But, as the project progressed, all the funds that were provided beca fully consud.
He on the other hand had no choice but to start pulling in the governnt funds in order to sponsor the project. But, things were not working out, and the amount of money that was required kept on increasing.
So, in a drastic move, he had no choice but to pull in all the governnt funds. This ended up causing an uproar within the governnt, as the opposition decided to take this chance in order to oppose him. But, he had already prepared for sothing like this.
He was able to make them remain silent, and he gave them the permission of using their own authority, that was a specialist so for those people that belonged to the opposition that were within the governnt, to get the money if they wanted to fund a certain project.
'I guess I will have to look for that person. If it cos to the matters concerning money, I think that he is the only one that is currently capable of lending the money. Otherwise, I don't think that this project is going to be completed.' Newton thought to himself as he left the facility.
Although he had actually threatened the scientists, he knew that this project was not that easy. Otherwise, if it was easy, why was it that it was taking several years, but there was no progress at all?
He had only said that because he wanted to put a lot of pressure on the scientists, making them work even harder than before. As for killing them, unless he got better scientists, there was no way that he was going to dispose off of them.
The target that he was having in mind was definitely Jackson enterprise. That was the Enterprise that had risen to the top in the country out of nowhere. Additionally, it did not seem like they lacked money, because they usually purchased things, no matter how absurd the price was.
In fact, that was the thod that they had utilized in order to be able to dominate the five industries. So, he believed that, since this group actually possessed a large amount of money, they should not be having much difficulty in lending him a few hundred billion dollars, right?
…
Stronghold domain…
After Jack and his group went back to the store, Jack began reading the information that he had been provided with. At the sa ti, he was also keeping an eye on the person that was looking at the store, monitoring their movents.
He was not sure In which organization this person belonged to, but, since this person did not seem to be making any move, Jack decided to ignore him completely.
Jack had just began reading when he suddenly thought of sothing. 'System, why is it that after I received a gift, there was no multiplier effect?'
That was the question that was bugging his mind. After all, according to the system, during the ti it was being introduced, it claid that it was actually capable of having the multiplier effect on any inco that he got, as long as the inco was legal.
The compensation that he had been given after being chased out of the Alfonso family was also multiplied. So, it really did not make much sense to him that the gift that he had received had no multiplier effect.
[Currently, for the host to be able to have the multiplier effect on a gift that he has received inside the stronghold domain, the host will have to first of all get himself into the stronghold.]
"…."
Jack could not understand what the system was trying to imply. After all, he was currently inside the stronghold domain, inside a stronghold. Additionally, he had already gotten a user ID, that implied that he was currently a mber of the stronghold.
So, what was up with this system claiming that he was supposed to be get himself into the stronghold? That did not make any sense to him at all.
[The host has to get a position inside the stronghold. Currently, the host's position is not high enough. According to the system, the host has been lazy recently. So, this restriction was added in order to make sure that the host will not just continue lazing around.]
"…"
Jack could not help but blink his eyes in confusion. Lazy? How was he lazy? Hadn't he just been inside at the stronghold for 2 days now? He had already started a store, so, how was it that he was considered lazy?
[The host has left all the works on managent of the store to his subordinate and girlfriend. As for himself, the host is not working at all.]
'What do you an by I am not working? I am trying to gain so knowledge here so that I can be able to create the armor whose blueprint you gave .' Jack retorted.
[In any case, the host has to be active when it cos to 'working'. So, after it is decided that the host has finally begun 'working', then, the multiplier effect will be able to work on the gifts that the host will be receiving.]
Jack remained silence after the system prompt. It seed that there was no way that he was going to convince the system. But anyway, he could not understand the logic behind the system's words.
But, it is not as if the information that he had received was that much important. After all, he was not intending on becoming a craftsman. Rather, the only reason why he was studying sothing like this was because he wanted to craft the anti-laser armor that he had received the blueprints from the system.
Setting the matter aside, Jack continue to studying. The information that he had on craftsmanship was shallow. But, it was good that the information inside the books that he had received from Johnson provided him with enough information.
Together with the effect of the system of multiplying his learning speed by 100 tis, he was able to grasp things that easily. Additionally, since his mind was Improved after he beca a superhuman, he was able to rember almost every detail as he read through the books.
Jack believed that it was not going to take long before he finally got a grasp on craftsmanship. The only thing that would be remaining by that ti would be the practical part of it.
…
In the evening, Jack had already finished reading one of the five books that he was given by Johnson. Although the book possessed about two thousand pages, he was able to grasp everything within it.
The book that he had read possessed information about craftsmanship in general. It did not specialize in either weapons, armor, or other equipnt. So, what Jack had learned this ti was that, there were so things that needed to be considered during the ti that he would be crafting sothing.
Jack was not the only one who was learning sothing. Celine had also been attracted to the craftsmanship. So, she had also taken another book and began reading. It was just that, the one that she had taken was the one that dealt with communication devices, it was a specialization.
While the two of them were dealing with studying, both Denali and Samantha dealt with the store. This ti, they made a total sales of 13,500 star coins. It seed that the popularity of the store had already begun increasing after the restocking.
Currently, Jack's balance had already increased to 2,096,820 star coins. With this amount of money, Jack had already begun thinking of another thod that he was going to increase his inco.
Currently, the problem that they were experiencing was the fact that, the store that they were running was small. Since he had already decided that he was going to start an organization that was going to deal with business, then, he had to start opening other stores soon.
Of course, he knew that to be able to get a shop that was there for sale, that was sothing that was going to be a little difficult. Not only that, even if they found one, it was going to be expensive. But still, Jack had his own plans.
The group was just leaving the store when suddenly, they heard soone addressing them.
"It seems that all of you ca over here. Why don't you tell how cos you are able to enter the stronghold? What kind of relationship do you have with the people of the stronghold?" It was the voice of a female, a voice that Jack and the rest of the group were familiar with.
