Curious, Susima asked, "System, what happens to my knowledge seal if any of my knowledge slaves die?"
The system replied, "Ding, the seal will be returned to the host."
Relieved by the response, Susima was no longer afraid that his slave would die and the seal would not be returned. Now, he could be at ease.
Then, he asked another question, "Are those slaves loyal to me?"
The system responded, "Ding, they are 100% loyal to you."
Satisfied with the answer, Susima said, "Take these coins and give me seals."
The system congratulated him on buying 50 or more knowledge seals and informed him that the first gift would be unlocked: Dhyana 2.0.
Dhyana 2.0 was a form of concentrated meditation that increased research speed by 30% and had a 10% chance of increasing intelligent points by 1. The system asked if Susima wanted to give Dhyana 2.0 to all his slaves, to which he replied, "Yes."
Susima was thrilled to receive this gift from the system. He no longer needed to fear his slaves betraying him, as he had complete control over them. He checked his status in the knowledge seal and saw that it was 69.
Curious about the time required for his slaves to complete a task, Susima asked the system, "If I ask all 70 to work on modern agriculture knowledge without any side effects, how fast can it be completed?"
The system replied, "Ding, the time required is 10-11 months, considering the 10% chance to increase intelligence attributes."
Confused by this, Susima asked, "Why does it still take 1 year?"
The system explained, "Ding, reducing time requires more than just adding manpower. It also requires equipment, funds, time, and other factors."
Realizing his oversight, Susima felt foolish. He decided to stop making decisions alone and ask his other slaves for their opinions.
He inquired, "Can I communicate with my slaves from long distances?"
The system confirmed, "Ding, yes, the host can communicate from a long distance."
Susima then contacted Darshakt, one of his slaves, and began a conversation about their current situation and the best course of action. He used Dhyana 2.0 to meditate on these matters.
Darshakt suggested, "Master, first we need a way to earn money from the world, and then we can start creating a force for protection and information gathering."
Susima agreed with this plan and also thought of ways to make money, such as producing soap, perfume, and clothes.
He knew all the information about soap and perfume, as they were easy to make and sell. He decided to change Darshakt's knowledge path from agriculture to business management, as he needed someone to handle money-related problems.
Susima asked the system, "Can Darshakt handle this task?"
The system replied, "Ding, this system believes that hard work will yield results. It does not believe in talent."
Susima understood. In his previous life, there were rich people, big politicians, and strong athletes, but who among them did not work hard or strive to better themselves? If a child has a strong business talent, can he manage an entire company at a young age? No, for that, you need to work hard. He also agreed with the system.
Now, he told the recipe for soap and perfume.
Now, it was time to find his mother and ask her for money to buy toys. He planned to do this the next day and began organizing everything. He didn't want to be someone who simply went with the flow; he wanted to take control of everything.
He also tasked Darshakt with finding a corrupt merchant whom they could make their slave. Susima would support Darshakt publicly and show everyone that they couldn't mess with him. With the help of these merchants, Darshakt could go further.
Realizing that he had much to learn, Susima decided to focus on becoming a leader and utilizing his seals to their fullest potential with minimal loss of time.
He started to plan his departure from the palace in secret and his visit to the prison lockers to enslave those sentenced to death. However, he made sure not to harm common people. He eagerly awaited the next day, as he had two major tasks to accomplish: asking his mother for money and meeting Darshakt on the road, along with the captured criminals. He also wondered if it was possible to leave the palace unnoticed and reach the prison lockers.
After these thoughts, Susima spent time playing with his siblings. When night arrived, he went to bed and fell asleep.
