System was silenced from this logic. It knew that Adi wanted more benefits but it couldn't ignore his arguments. They were valid and logical. Teaching new theories and technologies can not happen instantly. It takes time to even graduate from colleges much less introducing everything from scratch. It checked its command code and calculated the pros and cons of the action.
System analyzed according to its logic and database for a long time. Adi knew that System was considering so he tried to help it reach a decision. Adi said, "System focus on the what is the objective. We can only correct people's morals when we have power. We can only ease their life when we have technologies, and the power to protect them from greedy people."
System heard its host Adi's arguments and referenced the main objective given by its Creator. System thought that maybe the creator knew this may happen, so a leeway was left. But it could only come into affect when the host was intelligent, or rather sly, to seek another way.
System thought all things through and finally came to decision.
"Host's arguments hold true according to the main objectives and commands given to system. System informs host, that it will now provide everything that Host needs but only if host pay the right price for things.
It has to be an equivalent exchange as the system won't produce objects from nothing. Like in example of seeds, Host has to purchase them through points as only that can be a balanced act.
Also the weapons or machines, Host has to provide with the raw materials or the ores, and then system will produce desired equipment from them.
But the host has to hurry in spreading peace, justice and morality in this world or else the host will be blamed for their sufferings."
Adi had a victorious smile as he finally got what he wanted. He not only needed the seeds for farming, but the weapons too as Rai had too few knights. Only with modern weapons can they face future wars without being the disadvantageous side.
There were also Ships, Vehicles and many other things which requires too much time and a group of experts. But he still had few things left to discuss with the system.
Adi first thanked system and then probed, "Thanks system for the new options. It will help me to have a sound sleep. But there is another thing I wanted to discuss with you."
System said, "System is listening to host."
Adi asked, "System, I think that there is not mentioned anywhere that system has to keep its existence a secret, is there?"
System couldn't understand what he wanted to say, but it still answered. "There is no such mention Host, but it is better to keep my existence secret as your true identity may be also questioned."
Adi assured and , "System I am not talking about declaring your existence to everyone, but it can be disclosed to a selective few who will lead their respective fields.
Look system, I myself don't know anything about the process and procedures behind of most technologies. Even in universities there are various professors to teach various subjects and it still takes students years to know them.
Here its only a single person, me, who will teach them about everything. I have to even first understand it myself and then teach them. Is it feasible? Is it not better to produce some industry based modules which will be given to others so that they will manage their industry, field or a specific project.
Take for example Armed forces, we can program a sub module and provide it to Pratap. As he has knowledge about it, he can understand those things, integrate with new ideas and teach his subordinates better than me.
Same goes for Healer Shane, he can know about Medical knowledge and he will grasp it quickly and become a leader in Medical field. This 'sub-system module' project will also help me to get few trustworthy subordinates to further complete our mission."
Adi was very excited towards the end of his speech. It was like he could see each person leading the change and himself as managing matters in a macro perspective.
System was so shocked by this proposition that it stopped all its activities for a moment. It then speedily processed what Adi said. It was a huge proposal and System was still in shock as it never had the thought of these matters. Never.
It wanted to reject it straight away but it also knew that Adi will press this issue and argue while referencing the objectives. And it was true that there was no directions on this issue in the command given at time of creation.
It argued back and forth analyzing every reason deeply, be it for or against, and the processing system, which could process all activities of a Universe, was overheated. It was a momentous matter and any answer, yes or no, will have huge implications.
Imagine a bunch of people with different branches of system in their mind according to their field, and a main system which would control all of the sub systems and supervise them.
Adi knew that this was not a simple matter. It was not the same like providing raw materials and converting them to finished goods.
Adi wanted to help the system to arrive on a favorable decision so he added, "Dear system, these people would be a helping hand for me and also for you. You know that I have to trust them fully when disclosing new information and they will stay by my side for a long time.
Won't it be better to bind them with the sub systems so that they never betray or leak any technologies for whatever reasons? Also think about the time it will save and the people who will be saved from the sufferings.
Having a few people with sub systems will also help us to maintain morals on every field in a better way. And they can also have their own ideas with your help as you would provide them with first hand knowledge and not through me. Is it not a great solution?"
System was almost convinced by Adi's logic but it still had a misgiving. "Host, it will be like having slaves and they doing work for you. If we also force them to work according to us then what will be the difference between us and others?"
Adi retorted, "System its no slavery. We can make it voluntary. We can have them swear an oath with their souls to keep it a secret and then we will brief them of whole matter before asking them whether they are willing or not. It will be more like a job employment rather than slavery.
System, an empire or a country can't do with just one person doing and knowing all things. A council of ministers is needed to debate on every issues different aspects.
Similarly, I too will need few people to fine tune many issues and I say it will be more doubtful on my side to have all ideas with myself and give them out in all fields. When they know that I have no knowledge about weapons or construction or ships or medication, how will I convince them that I have thought through all of it?
Or do you want me to tell a tale of some dead sage coming in my dreams and teaching it for salvation???"
System was finally convinced this time. As long it is not restricted in his commands and not an act which defies morality, it can be accepted. Although it was a matter of great concern, its effects has to be seen.
System assented to his requests ans commented, "Host, through your logical deduction, valid arguments and out-of-the box approach, you have convinced the system. System has been convinced that the proposed plan will be very beneficial towards the main cause without breaching any of its guidelines.
Host has given all possible assurance & solutions so that it may not backfire. System can now deploy sub-system modules on the selected people after getting their consent, provided its existence remains secret to anyone not involved.
But still, all the information will need points and confirmation from the Host. As only the Host can get points, you have to accept the proposal from holders of sub-modules and spend points to buy the information."
Adi was overjoyed. He had confidence previously that he would talk it through but finally negotiating it successfully was a great feeling. He can now do many more things easily and with less restrictions. His tension and responsibility could now be shared amongst many people. After all, why should he have all the fun?
System then added, "Host should select few trustworthy people who can take more important roles and complete the mission as soon as possible."
Adi nodded and replied, "Of course of course. I am more concerned than you about these topics. I will do it tomorrow morning. By the way, system do you have a way to scan whole Rai for different minerals and oil?"
