Death… And Me

Chapter 1771 Receiving Communication Badges

Ganhan was still working with the disciples of the System Sect when he noticed that they all seemed to use their badges every now and then. After asking one of them why they were doing that, the disciple asked the elders of the System Sect about what to do. Rean and Roan had given permission to a few of the System Sectʼs elders to judge whether the disciples could talk about the communication system or not. Now that the communication system would spread as fast as possible, it went without saying that trying to hide it from Ganhan and the others would be meaningless.

”What?! You can do such a thing?” Ganhan, obviously, was shocked to hear about the communication system. ”Can I test it myself?”

The disciple shook his head, telling him, ”Only System Sect members have these communication badges. Even if you try to use the badges, they wonʼt work as they only respond to their ownerʼs Divine Sense.”

Suddenly, one of the elders of the sect arrived beside Ganhan. ”Sorry to bother you, sir. Sect Master Rean asked us to give these communication badges to you.” He then passed a spatial ring with at least a few thousand communication badges inside. ”Sect Master said that you can decide who should have them or not. Be aware that the entire country will be within the communication systemʼs range very soon. It would be nice if you gave them to officers in faraway cities as well.”

”This...” Ganhan was even more shocked now, seeing that many badges. ”Arenʼt they expensive?”

The elder of the System Sect shook his head, replying, ”Once you have the necessary equipment, crafting the badges becomes effortless. The materials needed arenʼt anything impressive either. Of course, the crafting method is a secret, so itʼll be useless to ask us how to make them.”

Ganhan didnʼt waste time and asked how the badges worked. After a while, he passed a few of the badges to some of his subordinates and tried them out. Sure enough, as soon as he inputted his subordinateʼs number in the badge with his Divine Sense, his subordinate received the message straight away. The badges were countless times better than Thoughts Transmission Talismans. They only used oneʼs own Divine Energy and could be used limitlessly. Just how good was that?

One must remember that the sphere the twins saw when they arrived in Walfure Region was an extremely expensive method of communication, according to Hilanshi himself. Even Rank Seven Divine Stones had to be used for that. But here it was, a way of communicating instantly without expending a single Divine Stone. How good was that?

Ganhan immediately considered if he should leave the continent and get in contact with the Rambram Sect about this system. After all, it was simply revolutionary. However, he mulled over it and gave up on the idea. If the system really was that good, there was no need for him to make a move. The people observing the competition would eventually notice it and would see with their own eyes during this continental war how it would play out. This competition just so happened to be the perfect testing ground for those interested in it.

”Alright, thanks for the badges. Iʼll have a few of them sent to the offices and military buildings in all the cities in Butiva Country. In a day, every single city should have at least their City Lords with one of these in their hands,” Ganhan said.

Ganhan obviously noticed the systemʼs problems as well. Security! Since the System Sect could communicate through these things, what would stop them from hearing its contents? He had to check it himself during the year he stayed here. Little did he know that Rean and Havek had already built an encryption method for the system. The messages could only be decrypted by the badges that received the message. If it was any other badge, they would receive a lot of information that simply didnʼt make any sense.

The elder of the System Sect also warned Ganhan, ”By the way, sir. Thereʼs no need to give these communication badges back to our System Sect. If one year has passed, you can leave straight away and bring the badges with you if you desire.” ғʀᴇᴇᴡᴇʙɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ

”Really?” Ganhan, who was thinking of an excuse to leave with the badges in tow, was surprised to hear that. ”Arenʼt you guys a bit too relaxed?”

The elder shook his head, replying, ”These badgesʼ numbers have been configured in the servers to stop working a year from now. When the time comes, they will become nothing more than a paperweight. With that said, there isnʼt much of a point in giving them back to us. You can destroy them straight away if you wish.” Do not underestimate Rean and Havekʼs security measures is what the elder meant in his mind.

Ganhan narrowed his eyes in response, thinking to himself, ʼItʼll be useless a year from now. Then what if I bring them away before the time comes?ʼ

Knowing what Ganhan was thinking, the elder also added, ”By the way, if they lose the sectʼs signal for too long, their formations will crumble down, so keep that in mind.” Of course, such a feature only happened with Ganhanʼs badges. The sect members who had signed Soul Binding Contracts had no need to have these features inside their badges. Rean and Roan werenʼt concerned about their loyalty at all.

As for whether a badge would be stolen or not, that was even less of a problem. As mentioned before, the badges were connected to the usersʼ Divine Sense and Blood. Others simply couldnʼt use them even if they were stolen.

Ganha bitterly smiled and gave up there. ʼItʼs obvious that those twins are expecting some deal out of this thing. Whatever. Iʼll just focus on my own job and gather as much information about it as possible.ʼ Ganhan knew that trying to steal the production method of the badge was useless. After all, it didnʼt happen in the outside world. Instead, it happened inside the twinsʼ Pocket Dimensional Realm... if one could even call it ʼPocket,ʼ that is.
