High Tech System

Join me!

Brugdath had a sinister smile on his face, a smile that a hunter has when his prey gets caught by his trap, yes Jin Sung was trapped, the man in the first room was probably a soul cultivator that manipulated his sense and emotion, making him feel comfortable, safe, happy and pleased.

Even when he was talking with Brugdath he could still feel that pleasant emotion and his mood improved making him unsuspicious of the things around him.

"I can defeat you all over again you know," Jin Sung was calm, after all, he could defeat Brugdath and he would gladly do it all over again.

"Like I said don't let your last victory get in your head boy!" suddenly Brugdath squeezes Jin Sung's hand with a force he never felt before.

Crash!

Six body cultivators with deadly weapons in their hands appear from the ceiling of the room, they brandished their weapons towards Jin Sung, ready to strike at any moment.

"I never thought that the fake city I make could even make you personally visit, haha," Brugdath laugh softly seemingly satisfied with his feats.

"Pretending to be the Long Spear from the west? Gosh, you are such an i***t, you didn't even bring a spear with you, how can you pretend to be someone without completely knowing him?" Brugdath's words sting true to Jin Sung's heart.

It was ironic, he gave Joseph the book to improve his skill to be a spy, yet here he was getting caught in a trap like a fool, maybe he should really learn some skills that will be essential to help his goal, some fighting lesson and espionage training could really help him knows some basic things, at least it was better than just enter a fake city while pretending to be an important man he did not even know about.

Jin Sung knew that it will be hard to leave the city alone, with Brugdath personally confronting him, he could move the entire army that resides in the city to capture him.

"You can't capture me!" Jin Sung ignored the bone-shattering pain that he felt on his arms and confidently replied.

Brugdath snorted in mockery."You are alone, while there are many of my soldiers here, don't bluff for your way out, boy!"

"Who says I'm alone?" Jin Sung activated the small flash bang that he hides on his left hand and throwing it in the air before a sharp blinding light exploded forth, momentarily blinding everyone but Jin Sung in the room.

Suddenly a group of men in green tactical military combat suit materialized out of thin air, in their hands is an even deadlier weapon than any people of this world could imagine, with its barrel pointed towards their respective target these group of men pulled the trigger and an ear-ringing roar of firearms reverberated after the bullets penetrated the skulls of the enemy, sending them falling to the grounds after their blood splashed towards Brugdath's face.

Ignacio raised the protective visor of his helmet before he stands beside Jin Sung and pointed his M-16 towards Brugdath.

"Didn't expect that didn't you?" Jin Sung violently pushes his hand from Brugdath's tight grip while his men reposition themself to prepare for battle.

Brugdath glanced at his men, which is currently laying dead on the ground with large wounds on their heads.

"So these are the artifacts that push your rebellion?" Brugdath stared towards the M-16 that is currently pointed towards his face in the almost point-blank distance.

"You think these artifacts are enough to kill me?"

Jin Sung had his arms crossed over his chest as he replied in disdain."Don't bluff your way out Brugdath, you know where this is going,"

One of the soldiers slowly approach Brugdath with a bomb attached to a string on his hand, he planted the bomb on Brugdath's trapezius by activating a needle mechanism that stabs through the flesh and stuck on his body, the soldier proceeds to pull the string before tying it to Jin Sung's waist, he dusts his hands off to signal that the job is done.

"What is this that you planted on me?" Brugdath stared towards Jin Sung as he asked, guess he can't pretend to be calm anymore.

"I guess it's better to show you rather than telling you," Jin Sung was happy that he could capture a general so he would like to show him the bomb's capabilities to deter him from escaping.

"Ignacio tells one of your men to disable the hearing capability of the citizen in this city, I don't want anyone other than us to hear about the explosion!" Ignacio saluted before he pointed to one of his men, of which the man saluted and run to proceed with his task.

"Now that is done, let me show you something interesting," Jin Sung grabs a bomb similar to the one that is planted on Brugdath from his men."You see this little square thing and the string attached to it? Do you also see the small handle at the end of the string, yes it looks like the string that your bell has, but instead of sounding the bell, this one activates the bomb!"

To demonstrate Jin Sung grab the handle of the string and throw the bomb away from him, after a few meters the bomb exploded in mid-air, sending shrapnel all over the place while the blazing flame burns everything around it. It was beautiful yet terrifying at the same time, some of the shrapnel hit them but they didn't do much damage to Jin Sung and the others.

Brugdath was in awe, he shudders in fear yet his eyes were twinkling in fascination, how can such small things create such a big explosion, there is no Qi inside it whatsoever, Brugdath had a hint of confusion on his face.

"Don't worry that was the weaker version of the bomb, the one that is planted on you is a stronger one," Jin Sung sarcastic remarks annoyed Brugdath a little, but as it was, he still can't do anything about it, he didn't want to risk having his neck explode just to test the capability of the bomb.

"You win, I'll be your hostage," Brugdath was calm like he was indifferent to his situation, Jin Sung kinda expect that anyway so he taps a few times in the air of which a sudden golden light appears and a paper looking object pop out of it.

Jin Sung presented the paper to Ignacio."Wrap him up!"

***

Jin Sung and his men are currently walking to the gate of the city, with Brugdath staying close to Jin Sung as he is afraid if he gets too far he would explode.

Jin Sung was satisfied, he comes for information yet he got the general instead, who in the world would expect that? No one that is.

Jin Sung glanced towards Brugdath who is currently in a despondent state with his head down and shoulder hunched, what a pitiful man, earlier this guy thought he had him dancing in his palm only to be beaten in the ass by Jin Sung.

"Don't be so down, If you are willing I can let you join my army,"

Brugdath repudiates in sorrow."I want to be a leader that can lead his men in pride, If I join you, my new subordinate will only think of me as a traitor,"

Jin Sung wince in silence, who says you can have subordinated the moment you join the army, you gotta climb the rank from the ground, little man, Jin Sung thought internally.

"Who says that, do you know what am I fighting for? Its freedom for every human being in this world, no one will think of you as a traitor but as a person that able to reach the light when you were in the darkness, an enlightened person, a kind man that willingly throws his status and wealth for a just cause that is to give opportunity for every human being to attain happiness, Freedom!"

Brugdath turned his head to Jin Sung, shock and realization were planted on his face, never in his life did he consider the life of ordinary people, it was insignificant in his view, like ants, does he need to care about ants? Of course not, unless you are an ant lover.

But he might be mistaken because Jin Sung just told him that by fighting for ordinary people he will have a good reputation and will be seen as benevolence, he didn't care about wealth and status much, he amassed them to gain reputation, and now he had the option to gain a reputation and status that is higher than ever before, a man of virtue.

When he fight and destroy his enemies, people will cheer and call out his nickname The Mountain Of Virtue, Just imagining that scene makes his blood boil and his body straighten in vigor as excitement flows in his blood.

"Can I join you?" Brugdath asks softly although his hoarse voice makes it sound harsh and rough, Jin Sung knew that the man is sincere to join him by looking at his eyes that are filled with anticipation.

"Sure, we need more strong men like you after all," Jin Sung was satisfied even more because instead of taking the general as a hostage he got the general as his own subordinate, he glanced towards the sky and was glad that on his free time back on earth he would always search various Sun Tzu stories as his pass time activity, why to kill your enemy when you can let them join you, this quote is the one that leads him until today, without it he would never think of recruiting the cultivators and instead would m******e them and removing the practice of cultivation to make every person on this world ordinary.

Without that quote, Jin Sung would erase an entire culture, study, and arts of this world, a phenomenon that is unique to this world will be erased by Jin Sung to fulfill his goal.
