Mixed Blessing System



Lothur planned to facilitate communications throughout this province and even the continent by having formations in each of his cars.

The day will come when every human city will have cars. From this day forward, the Ritter Motor Company would control communications for the entire continent, as everyone would want to use this handy communication option.

There were no long-range means of communication in Concordia. Because of this, even high-level cultivators had to move and send representatives or letters to communicate with people at a distance.

But not only was the Ritter Motor Company offering to create a massive network, but it would also make it possible for ordinary communication formations to integrate the network of its cars.

A person with a communication crystal could connect that item to the formation responsible for transmitting and receiving signals in their car with their mobile item. Through this, even if this person was not in their car, they could still use the communication system created by Lothur's network.

And with this, Lothur was practically forcing the people of this world to use his system, which he had designed to continuously send messages to the destination and the intelligence and espionage center of his forces.

Lothur planned to watch all influential people, potential troublemakers for him and his allies. Through this, he intended to achieve dominance over those around him to the point where he would finally have peace.

Once he was aware of everything, no one could surprise him, and everyone could genuinely fear him. At that time, his peace could be achieved!

The Koch family knew what Lothur wanted, and for the moment, they were just keeping an eye on the few customers who had already received vehicles from the Ritter Motor Company.

There were still many more cars to be produced before this medium became popular, so there was not much work for this organization.

Also, because of this, they were paying close attention even to the conversations of their allies.

However, since they started this monitoring service only two days ago, nothing has turned up so far. But even if it had, Lothur had already made it clear that these people should try to solve minor problems on their own by warning or acting against an opponent.

He should only be alerted if one of these problems was big enough to destroy his peace.

Anyway, such work might be against partners' ethics, but Lothur didn't give a damn. Spy work had to be done against even allies because those, too, could make mistakes and cause problems.

Less unintentionally, an ally could make a slip that allowed an enemy. In this case, keeping watch even against allies could prevent big trouble!

One of the men watching the communications then asked Lothur. "Senior Ritter, how do we prevent people from discovering this possibility? I mean, eventually, powerful experts from the empire or even the continent will have their own cars. At that time, someone might find out."

"That's impossible," Lothur said. "The information transmission system in my vehicles' communication formations is the kind that sends information to specific components. So each formation has a particularity that makes it unique and unmistakable.

However, my communication system is not as simple as sending something to a single destination connected to a number. Instead, it emits waves that can reach anywhere within the area with network access. However, only devices compatible with this signal can receive the message.

The device to which the person is sending a message has the receiver capable of deciphering the message, while most others cannot.

Therefore others are unable to receive the message.

But the devices in this post are different from all the others. They can read messages sent to any device.

It's as if there are only ordinary devices outside of here, and every device inside this intelligence center is a universal type."

Lothur paused for a moment to breathe and finished. "The point is, as long as one of these specialists doesn't get in here, people can't suspect this because only our devices have anything to indicate our guilt."

"So that's how it is... That's quite ingenious." The Koch patriarch said, surprised at Lothur's ability to develop things that did not exist in this world.

The man who asked the previous question sighed in relief, feeling that their risks would be less if that were true.

Lothur sighed and said. "Anyway, these formations also have destruction inscriptions to avoid people watching my codes...

Are there any other questions?"

"That's all for now." The Koch patriarch said with a smile before shaking one of Lothur's hands and directing him to the exit.

Lothur said goodbye to those people and soon departed, leaving the Koch family headquarters, this crucial place, but one that only he and a few people knew about.

Not even his women were aware of his espionage plans!

Amid his departure, leaving that estate in his red SUV, Lothur thought. 'This is not only for my peace, for the possibility of me living away from the focus, but also for the greater good.'

He remembered the visions he had already had, the voice telling him to move faster or he would regret it bitterly in the future.

This spying could help him a lot regarding things related to the system, the Lost Tree, and the purpose of the system, which he was still not sure about.

...

Two days later...

While the Linn Province was experiencing the rise of cars, news about the independent animal-powered vehicles appearing in Peters City had already reached other provinces in Leopoldine.

In one of the province's neighbors, where Lothur lived, the talk of the moment was of such carriages, carriages without animals or beasts, already circulating in Peters City.

In the Engl Province, the largest city in the area, just over 700 kilometers away from Peters City, was one of the localities where the subject had already reached practically all of its inhabitants.

From the young to the old, from mortals to cultivators, from the poor to the rich, women and men of this city had heard about the infamous car.

That was the most talked about in the local streets, where people clamored that it was just a rumor, but many discussed how long it would take for the cars to reach this place.

But the richest and most powerful in the city were already aware that the rumors were not unfounded, and those independent animal-powered vehicles had finally been developed!

That news had come two days ago, and today, the Duke of the Province was standing next to a local merchant who had recently passed through Peters City.

"... I'm telling you, Duke, cars are the most amazing things you can imagine!" A middle-aged, fat, bearded man said, smiling in delight as he imagined that he would receive his three pick-ups in no more than a month. "I have already ordered some cars from the Ritter Motor Company, and I advise the Duke to send someone to Linn Province as soon as possible.

I hear that special cargo vehicles will be launched and revolutionize our state's commodity trading families!"

The Duke of Engl Province frowned as he heard that.

If everything this man was saying was true, then he could lose a lot of resources if he wasn't quick enough!

"If you are serious, I must go to Peters City immediately!"
