Chapter 588 Clue From the System
Not long after Jack had finished the evolution, with several changes occurring in his body, something else happened. For some reason, he felt that his heartbeat rate had suddenly increased.
That was something that surprised him completely. Normally, the heartbeat would only increase in certain situations, but at this moment, he was just relaxing, and he had not done anything strenuous.
Additionally, it was not as if he had experienced something that frightened him or anything like that. So, he failed to understand the reason why the intensity of his heartbeat had suddenly increased.
This was the first time that he was experiencing something like this. And even the information that he possessed in his mind about medicine did not explain anything like the one that he was currently experiencing.
Just as Jack was about to ask the system if it knew anything about what was happening, the intensity of his heartbeat suddenly returned to normal. And immediately after that, a system prompt appeared in front of him.
[System reminder: The second task that has been given to the host will have its time limit expiring in less than 3 weeks.]
Jack: "???"
Jack's mind was suddenly filled with question marks. In normal situations, he had never been actually reminded by the system about the timeline of the task that he had been granted during the emergency program missions.
Right now, the system was actually trying to remind him about the mission that he was supposed to complete, the mission that he was supposed to find about where his mother was located.
According to logic, if the system was actually supposed to give a reminder, then, the one that he was supposed to receive a reminder about was definitely the mission that was related to the matter of him conquering the entire Devin Stronghold.
But now, only a little more than 2 weeks were remaining, but still, there was no reminder from the system. Additionally, the time that he was supposed to complete the first task from the system was definitely the shortest right now.
'System…?' Jack called in his mind. Although he was sure that the system was not going to respond to his question, he had to try nonetheless.
But it seemed that Jack had thought it falsely. Because at this moment, even before he could finish what he was saying, another prompt from the system appeared in front of him.
[This is a special reminder from the system. Not all the tasks from the system will receive the same reminder. But for the second task that was given to the host, something occurred that is related to the task.]
[It is due to this occurrence that the host is given the privilege of being reminded of the task and the timeline in which he is supposed to complete it in case he has forgotten about it.]
Jack: "…."
If possible, Jack really wanted to get that guide from the system, Angel, so that he could beat him up so thoroughly. What was the privilege here? He had already kept this matter in mind considering that there was a punishment that awaited him as long as he failed to complete the mission.
It was as If he was having an ax hanging above his neck. How could he actually forget about something like that? That was a very big reminder, making sure that he was not going to forget about it. Additionally, this was a matter concerning his mother, how could he forget about his mother?
Wasn't this privilege just wasted? If possible, Jack would have wanted this privilege to be used somewhere else, maybe giving him something that would make him invincible in the entire world? Or maybe the entire universe?
Just as Jack was thinking of this, the system continued.
[Currently, the host is going to continue giving its privileges to the host. And another privilege that is coming from the system is, giving the host a clue about where his mother is located. Although the clue is not going to be straight to the point, but still, it is going to be able to enable the host to narrow down his search radius.]
Jack was stunned. He had not expected that the system was going to help him to complete the mission. This was completely unexpected for him. In any case, it was better.
Even if the system was going to claim that it was only going to give him a clue that was not direct, but still, it was better. At the end of the day, rather than making him to search for a single person in the entire world, it would be better if he was given a certain region.
[The host's mother is located outside of the Stronghold domain, in the normal world. In the normal world, the host's mother is currently found within five countries located in between Azima and Atati.]
Jack thought about the information that he had been given by the system for a moment. Although the information was not straight the point, but still, it was better. Other than the fact that the system had eliminated the Stronghold domain, it had also gone ahead and removed several continents.
Now, he only had five nations in which he was supposed to look for information about his mother. Although the five nations were quite big, but still, it was better.
After taking a deep breath, Jack immediately decided. Without hesitation, he communicated with 30 puppets at the same time. Then, he informed them that they were supposed to go out of the stronghold domain, to look for information about his mother.
Jack did not summon them into the Devin stronghold. But instead, he only asked them to go out. It was a good thing that even before he entered the stronghold, he had left some of them within Stronghold number 17, while others were still in the normal world.
Although Jack was capable of summoning the puppets, that did not imply that he had a place where he could keep them. But instead, if he summoned them here, they were going to appear where he was. As for the matter of them disappearing, that was impossible.
It was a good thing that during the time that he came into the stronghold domain, he did not summon all the puppets into the stronghold domain. He had left a few outside, 10 of them.
And right now, added with the one that had already been sent out, with the 30 that he was sending out this time, that would be a total of 41 that were going to continue with the search of the information about his mother's location.
During the time that he was sending out that single puppet, it was not as if the other puppets were not there, but instead, they all had responsibilities with the people that they were supposed to protect. As for Celine's parents, they did not have any puppet that was protecting them personally.
So, the one that was sent over was not only strong, but it was the one that was going to be in charge of them. So, after finishing giving the shadow organization the resources that he had sent over, it was going to protect the two.
With that finally out of the way, Jack decided to increase the speed at which he was operating. Currently, although it was true that he had received a clue about the information of where his mother was, that was still something that he did not understand.
Why was it that his mother was present inside the normal world? Additionally, if she was in the normal world, then why did she not appear all these years?
Of course Jack understood that there had to be a reason behind that. But that reason was something that he wanted to know. With all the connections that she was having, and even the contracts that she had signed, it was definitely not possible for her to be able to live a normal life that easily.
And if she had managed to dodge the contracts that she had signed, then that implied that she had found a method that she was going to use to be able to avoid the punishment from the contract. But that was something that had not had been found until now.
With that kind of information, in case there was anybody that came to know about it, they would definitely try to look for her. For that reason, it was impossible for her to be able to live in peace.
While the puppets were going to be in charge of looking for information about his mother, whose image he had transferred directly into the puppets' minds considering that there was a telepathic connection between them, Jack decided to complete this first task as soon as possible.
Due to that, other than the motivation that he was having of going to look for his mother, the confidence that he had gotten after going past the superhuman level was another thing that encouraged him to complete the task as soon as possible.
So without hesitation, he began another plan that he had been having in mind. He was not sure if it was going to work, but it was better if he tried it out.
So, he went ahead and looked for a group of people. Immediately after that, he asked them to give him information about the Storm family. But of course, he was not making it as if he was going to purchase the information, but instead, these people were going to gain something from him by paying with the information.
At this moment, Jack was hoping that this information was going to be considered by the system to be income, and not just a simple exchange.
Of course, a lot of people found it weird. But still, those that thought that this was going to be an easy income for them went ahead and exchanged the information that they possessed about the storm family, for several items that Jack possessed.
