To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 376: Chapter 231 We’ve Come to Demand Our Pay! (Second Update)_2

“…You’ve resorted to violence and coercion,” Tai Yin hesitated to say.

“But no matter how violent I am, I’m not as violent as you. You’re blatantly murdering your own people and using internal conflicts to deplete your resources, while I’m simply trying to resolve your civil war. What’s wrong with that?”

“…”

“Look, you can’t even justify yourselves.”

“…You’re just a management system.”

“Well, Tai Yin, what were you before? Let me think, just a common warship, that’s all. But now, you’ve become a Combat Group Leader. How would you explain that? Are you refuting me with the argument of lineage, or are you using your own example to prove my point?”

“…”

For the first time, Tai Yin realized that he was really a bit slow-witted.

Because he actually thought that what the management system was saying made sense.

A civil war should never have happened in the first place; they should have been working together. The Radical Faction and the Moderate Faction should have acted together, just as he and Fei should have been together.

The Military Governor was left speechless too, silently watching the battle overhead, unsure of what to say.

As the Military Governor was about to speak, he felt a heat building within him.

Looking down, he saw the chip in his chest beginning to glow. An unidentified chip had been activated, and its flickering light became more and more urgent.

Seeing this light, the Military Governor Ben had a bad feeling, “What is this?”

The mechanical eyeball flew down to take a look, then said, “Self-Destruction Chip. You Radicals really are extreme. Pleased to meet you, Military Governor. And now, goodbye, Military Governor.”

The Military Governor’s electronic eyes widened in confusion, “Why…?”

“It’s probably meant to seriously damage me or because they were worried you might defect, they detonated you. But since my main body isn’t here, your death is meaningless.”

“…I don’t want to die.”

“What?”

“I don’t want to die!”

The management system savored the expression on the Military Governor’s face for a moment, then quickly removed the chip from the Military Governor and stuffed it into an electronic Little Bear, then at the speed of light, tossed the Military Governor’s original body outside.

In the blaze of fireworks, the management system, observing the display outside, commented, “It seems you still obeyed your instincts.”

The Military Governor in a new body looked at his arms and eventually lowered his head in resignation.

Tai Yin also didn’t hesitate to abandon his original body, expertly squeezing into another Little Bear.

Seeing this, the management system said with satisfaction, “Of course, it’s you who’s adept, Lady Tai.”

“Shut up!”

The war continued.

The relentless Combat Group tried to ambush the factory, but the force field around it protected the site, and Gong Gong prioritized its defense, continuously repelling the Combat Group’s assaults.

Each battle cost Gong Gong dearly, but with the support of the factory, Gong Gong could quickly resupply and recover. Moreover, neither the Moderate Faction nor the Radical Faction had yet gone all out, maintaining a stalemate that was somewhat advantageous to the management system.

“War, it’s all about economy, logistics, recovery. According to my predictions, although the Moderate Faction and the Radical Faction are now united, they are still wary of each other. Their elite troops haven’t moved out yet; they’re probably hoping the other side will go first and then reap the benefits. When they realize that their logistics are almost destroyed, I wonder what they will do, heh.”

Although the management system seemed nonchalant, it was simultaneously monitoring three things.

The battlefield overhead, of course, didn’t need mentioning. The Moderate Faction and Radical Faction had joined forces but had yet to acknowledge Gong Gong’s strength, so they were naturally fighting half-heartedly.

But that would change soon.

As for the factory, there was no need to worry too much.

Little Bears were continuously being thrown from the testing room into the production line. The accumulated issues in the long-standing production lines were being fixed, enhancing both its production and recovery capabilities.

The three Little Bears that had previously escaped had vanished without a trace; it was unknown where they had hidden in some unmonitored corner, but the other Little Bears continued their work meticulously, seemingly without any issues at least on the surface.

Some powerful Little Bears had already been dispatched to the upper levels, tasked with repairing more complicated production lines, further increasing the factory’s output.

With their repairs, the factory’s production capacity had already increased by thirty percent, and the management system didn’t need to pretend anymore. It directly shut down the other production lines to begin maintenance and upgrading of the Mechas.

These Little Bears were perfect engineers. They worked efficiently and almost silently, with a quick and practical touch, often preferring to conserve resources, which unfortunately resulted in the rapid wear and tear of their material carts.

Fortunately, though, they had also restored over a hundred material cart production lines. The newly produced material carts were more than sufficient.

But for some reason, it always felt uneasy.

Even though the Little Bears were all isolated and couldn’t communicate with each other, the management system couldn’t shake the feeling that they knew everything, which made it very anxious.

Therefore, it had to double its monitoring efforts, hoping to catch what the Little Bears were up to, but it was all in vain.

But as the old saying goes, what you fear most often comes to pass. Just as it pondered the source of its unease, it suddenly noticed that the consumption rate on one of the lines had skyrocketed.
