Chapter 12 - Research Tree

The battle has ended, and the soldiers are now talking merrily. Meanwhile, Ferdinand was overseeing the situation. If he was late, then his soldiers would have been done for. So he tried to think up of a solution. Then suddenly he remembered something. He had a research tree. So he asked his system once more.

'How do I research in the research tree?'

[YOU CAN JUST CLICK ON THE SPECIFIC TECHNOLOGY ON THE TECHNOLOGICAL TREE OR SPECIFIC SUPPORT TECHNOLOGIES AND YOU'D AUTOMATICALLY RESEARCH IT ONCE YOU REACHED THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT OF POINTS BY KILLING WALKERS, YOU ALSO DON'T NEED TO USE UP THE POINTS, THE REWARDS POINTS WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR STASH OF POINTS AND INTO THE RESEARCH TAB IN FULL AMOUNT]

'Alright I understand, but I'll check my character panel first. User Interface!'

'Hm? My army XP moved up a bit, but why its only so miniscule?'

[YOU'LL ONLY GET XPS IF YOUR SOLDIERS WERE FIGHTING. IF YOU HAVE A LARGER ARMY THEN YOU'LL NATURALLY EARN MORE EXPERIENCE]

'I see, now that I have taken a proper look at the character panel and on myself I found out that my clothes are now tattered and ragged and so I think there's restore function or clean function on the interface,'

Ferdinand scrolled through the interface and found the things that he was looking for and that is the restore function on the system and it costed him a staggering 1000 points. He had no choice but to proceed, and now that he had thought about it, why didn't the soldiers of his thought nothing is abnormal?

After clicking the restore button almost immediately, his entire clothes flashed in a bright blue light, which finally surprised his soldiers and then after that they look at an amazement on their commander's uniform

"I knew his uniform was cool, but I didn't expect it to be this cool." Simpson uttered

The other soldiers agreed with their officer.

It embarrassed Ferdinand at all the attention he was getting, but that didn't matter as he no longer was wearing tattered clothes and to make sure one last time he checked up his system once again.

That the soldiers didn't think of anything out of ordinary was a question Ferdinand was being bugged and so he asked his soldiers.

"You guys, would you care to enlighten me on the fact that whenever I summoned things, you people didn't think of it as something abnormal?" Ferdinand inquired.

"Truth to be told, Commander, when you summoned us, it seems like it also gave us knowledge of the things of your ability and the fact on how to use the weapons that you have currently researched. Though we believe once you upgrade your technology we would have to train on that." Simpson replied.

"Alright, though, it surprised me with the fact that you have knowledge about my abilities. I have faith in you, my soldiers, that you won't leak it out." Ferdinand said.

"Yes, Commander!" The soldiers said in unison.

After chatting for a while with the soldiers, Ferdinand once again looked through his user interface and into the Research tree. There, he saw a multitude amount of weapons and support technology, like husbandry and crop rotation. It seemed like he would build an entire civilization. Now he wasn't on a rush to research all the weapons and so he just researched Improved Iron sights so that his soldiers could aim better and accurately.

Ferdinand staggered on the points that were required to research it. It needs a staggering amount of 50000 Points. So he asked about the system.

'Can't this be lowered and can't I use my points to research this?'

[NEGATIVE. THE POINTS THAT YOU WILL EARN ON KILLING WALKERS WILL ALSO PROVIDE THE EQUIVALENT AMOUNT INTO YOUR FOCUSED RESEARCH. FURTHERMORE, YOU DIDN'T FOCUSED ANY RESEARCH EARLIER SO THE WALKERS THAT YOU HAVE KILLED EARLIER WON'T BE GIVING YOU ANY POINTS OR EXPERIENCE ON YOUR FOCUSED RESEARCH]

'What a bummer, Ferdinand thought to himself.'

A few moments later, after Ferdinand focused research on Improved Iron Sights, he had ordered the troops to return to base. Now that the perimeter is clear and most likely there won't be any walker for the time being wandering on their perimeter, he had thought up of the next steps they would need to do.

The things that he had decided on which they will need to do is to expand the base and they require ammunition plant too as there are only a limited amount of ammo for his soldiers and he couldn't just summon ammo for them as the system has stated that the summoned things except for provisions cannot be used by none other than the user. So above all, he needs to fix these growing problems for him…
