Abraham stood up from his comfy chair and stretched his arms upward. It has been a while since the two new commanding officers left his office after receiving their orders. Following that, silence intruded once again, which was an unneeded solace.
'I should start exploring the current Port of Dawn. After all, a lot of things should have change with the upgrade.' He quietly thought while taking off his uniform and coat, placing them into their wardrobe. Afterward, he took out his casual clothing and wore them for this occasion.
Abraham neatly straightened his clothes and looked back at his loneso chair. It held so of his authority as the fleet admiral of the United Navy, but for so reason, it seed alone. Though, not wanting to be distracted, he threw the thought at the back of his mind.
"Let's leave." He muttered to himself and opened the door of his office, stepping into the lengthy hallway shrouded with expensive ornants. He didn't expect for his office to have such a grand entrance, perhaps this was why the two commanding officers appeared tense when eting him.
'Let's just hope that they won't look at as though I am a mafia boss of so sort.' Abraham thought while walking through the hallway. He'd rather not be misunderstood as so godfather of so sort. While sowhat cool, it would be troubleso.
He arrived in front of the elevator's tallic doors. He turned his gaze towards the buttons beside it and pressed the arrow pointing downward. Calmly waiting for a few seconds, the tallic doors slid open, revealing a couple of branch personnel working persistently to adapt to the change.
On their arms were hundreds of files from the reports of various parts of the United Navy. The mont he gazed upon them. It was hard to not feel sorry.
*Fleet Admiral!* All of them saluted and cried out. They were barely holding on to the papers on their arms, so Abraham nodded with a smile and got in the elevator with them. The tallic doors closed and music started playing on the background.
Abraham stood straight as despite not being in his uniform, he had a reputation to uphold. The branch personnel were behind him, probably staring at his back. He felt sowhat tense, as it was difficult to pretend to not care while soone gazes at you from behind.
Nonetheless, he persevered through. The elevator reached ground floor and the tallic doors slid open. He stepped out of its confines and looked back at the branch personnel with a smile. He then nodded at them and prompted his leave.
The halls of the branch office building had beco larger. Although, it wasn't as busy as before, it still brimd with people and beastfolk of all kinds. He walked past them, uncaring of their glances, and soon got out of the branch office building.
Fresh air perated beside his nose, making him feel sowhat relax. Though, the scene before him was far from calming. The road before the branch office building resembled that of roads from the modern world. There were even cars, pedestrian lanes, traffic lights, and many more.
From the looks of it, the Port of Dawn was becoming a more vivid picture of the forr modern world. And to think he would see such a scene after transmigration. He was confident that he would get stuck with dieval houses and castles after discovering his situation.
How wrong he was.
'At any rate, now that I'm outside, I should test the new features along the way.' Abraham thought, rembering the features that ca with the update. These two features were the Random Sea-Based Assets Spin and the Random Personal-Power Spin.
"Hmm... I wonder if I have enough Naval Points for this two." He mumbled to himself as he had already spent 4,000 Naval Points from the newly-summoned warships and the Port of Dawn upgrade. The two were expensive, and it might be the sa for the new features.
Though, before thinking about its prices, he should ask about the features through his precious partner. After all, she would probably love to explain these kinds of things to him. At least, he hoped so.
'Systema, what are the Random Sea-Based Assets Spin and Random Personal-Power Spin? I'd like to know more.' Abraham asked through his mind, and monts later, a chanical bell rang.
*Ding!*
| The Random Sea-Based Assets Spin gives the fleet admiral the ability to possibly gain sea-based naval assets such as ports, construction yards, artificial islands, and many more. This spin can give the United Navy the ability to grow beyond one island. |
| On the other hand, the Random Personal-Power Spin is sothing that got updated through the essential needs of the fleet admiral to grow stronger. From this spin, the fleet admiral might be able to gain a random personal power of so sort. It might be useless, or not. There are no limits of how many Personal-Power the fleet admiral can gain. |
| Would you like to know more? |
The information presented by Systema was intriguing. The Random Sea-Based Assets Spin practically gave him the ability to have more than one port. This would give the United Navy an excellent opportunity to grow, so this feature was sothing he was thankful for.
Then, there was the Random Personal-Power Spin. It was practically a gacha for abilities of so sort. It gives him superpowers, which was overpowered in its own right if not for the fact that it was entirely randomized.
Nonetheless, with the Random Personal-Power Spin, Abraham might be able to fight toe to toe against these annoying bastards called the Magus. He wouldn't need to have Laplace guarding him 24/7, which would be unfortunate, in all honesty.
'But the Random Personal-Power is sothing I need. I can't keep relying to her forever. She needs ti to rest, and I also want to protect her myself.' Abraham beca determined in his heart.
Even though he wanted to get another port of so sort, he needed to have a solid ability that he could use to defend himself with. Otherwise, he might as well be the helpless damsel in fantasy fairytales sang to children at night.
With this in mind, Abraham closed his eyelids while walking through the sidewalk and asked his partner the most important question of all. 'Systema, what is the price?' It was a simple question that would decide everything.
A chanical bell soon rang inside his mind followed by a feminine monotone voice.
*Ding!*
| The cost of a single Random Sea-Based Assets Spin is 2,000 Naval Points, Fleet Admiral! Simultaneously, the cost of one Random Personal-Power Spin is 10,000 Naval Points. |
Upon hearing the monotone explanation of Systema, Abraham didn't know what to feel. Should he be disappointed? Saddened? He stopped moving as he turned his head upward. A single tear fell from his eyes since he had realized that he was about to start grinding.
Though, it was difficult to not complain. Why was the Random Personal-Power Spin much more expensive than the other features? The power he could gain from it might not actually be that useful, so why so expensive?
He wanted to understand the reasons.
But before he could question Systema, her monotone voice already resounded inside his head.
| The Random Personal-Power is sothing that cannot be taken or destroyed. It will be permanently embedded to the body and soul of the Fleet Admiral. As such, its cost for acquirent is high. |
The logic of the Naval Gacha System was pretty simple. Unlike the powerful and excellent assets or warships of the random spins, the Personal-Power couldn't be destroyed by anyone or anything. Even if a Sovereign appeared in front of him, they wouldn't be able to take it away from him.
In even more simpler terms, the material was cheaper than the immaterial.
Hearing the explanation of his precious partner, Abraham decided to stop his complaints about the excessive price of the Random Personal-Power Spin. Fortunately, however, Systema's following words made it even more worth it.
| While the Random Personal-Power Spin is completely randomized. The Fleet Admiral can be assured that the Personal-Power he would received from it would be far from powerless. The System provides the price it gives. |
With this, Abraham felt relieved and kept walking through the sidewalk with a peaceful state of mind. Instead of wasting his thoughts on sothing he couldn't attain, it was ti to turn his attention to the ones that he could acquire.
He turned his thoughts to the Random Sea-Based Assets Spin. According to Systema, it could give him ports, construction yards, artificial islands, and many more. It was pretty interesting, especially about it giving him ports.
Abraham needed more ports to facilitate and expand the logistics of the United Navy. After all, the operations of the sea region of Terra couldn't be handled by one single island. He understood that they have to expand to increase their efficiency as an organization.
'The price is 2,000 Naval Points... Quite expensive, but manageable.' He thought while rembering the cost of the Random Sea-Based Assets Spin. The price was sothing that he could handle. It wasn't as expensive as the Random Personal-Power Spin, which was the wrong standards to compare his wealth on.
Nonetheless, Abraham didn't feel the need to hesitate. Although 2,000 Naval Points would be lost for sothing unknown, that was always how the Naval Gacha System was played. He had to rely on his luck whether he could get sothing useful or not.
Though...
'Please give a port.'
It was hard to not beg before the RNG.
