《Branch Adventurers Guild [Dropped]》Trap
Advertisement
Waking up in the morning, I saw the Angela children sleeping on my stomach, while Emma who slept next to me looked smiling. I asked myself will this stay?. 'Super Speed Hack!' I disappeared from the bed while putting both the children down. I strolled without making any sound, wore my sportswear and left the house.
"Boss," Jax said as he stared at me. "Wanna come jogging with me?", Jax looked surprised and nodded before he changed into something fit for jogging and followed me. As we jogged no words were said between us, I interrupted the silence and asked Jax a question, "How is your family?"
"They are great Boss!" I nodded as he replied, I jogged for a while until I saw the geek boy from my lecture, what was his name again?... "Fu Gang!" I waved at him, he turned around in confusion and saw me before running to me "Professor! How are you!" He laughed as he jogged with us. "Great! Great! How are you?" I laughed as I chatted with him.
"Bad professor! I have been waiting for a video of your game that has been released on VRM. I haven't slept the entire night because of it" Fu shook his head as he complained. I patted him and smiled before continuing the last lap. "I will take this path professor, we will meet in the university grounds."
After splitting up with Fu Gang, I reached home and allowed Jax to rest before entering. "Morning!" A surprise hug came from Emma as the two children hugged both my legs. "Morning! Haha, No more hugging, I need to take a bath first!" I said to them as they went into the living room.
After taking a quick bath, I wore my suit and went downstairs to the living room. "Morning Ace" Angela appeared while smiling and wearing an apron. "Morning" I nodded to her. I sat down on the kitchen table, and once I did, everyone rushed up to take a seat. I ate breakfast silently while everyone chatted, I liked this kind of life… how long will I keep it this way?
After finishing breakfast I hugged everyone before leaving for the university, Jax took me there alone as the rest of the guards were guarding the house. After I reached the university, I noticed that it was full? What is going on? Ring Ring.

My phone began ringing, and I took it out before answering, "Hello?", Dean Hu replied "Hello Ace! Today you will be teaching in the courtyard, everything has been prepared" He ended the call after saying that. Looking around I noticed that it wasn't only the students, there were government officials and news reporters. Excluding all the cameras around, this looks like a movie production set up!
Sigh, I walked towards the auditorium and took out a chair from under the table before sitting on it. There were 5 minutes left, and the lecture has started as the wait is today lesson. The people around has been silent for a while, the five minutes passed, and there was only silence, I stood up and walked to the front before stopping.
"Good morning everyone" I greeted everyone before being greeted back in a thunderous voice. Looking around I saw that there were over 3 thousand students sitting while the governmental officials sat in the front. "We discussed business yesterday, at least the foundations of it but we have yet to go in depth of what business truly is?"
"In business, there are some paths to follow right?" I asked everyone as they replied with a nod. "Wrong, business is not something you just follow others paths and believe you will be successful, I can promise that out of all of you, only one will be successful in the end if you followed a path that someone took." I shook my head as I explained, "First is planning, with a plan you will lay your foundations, second with a goal, you will see the outline of your business not as a money making machine but as its world."
I looked around and nodded before continuing "Thirdly with patience, you will achieve your goal in a week, month or year… that is if you believe in yourself" I continued describing what business is for a few hours, it became 1 pm, and I didn't realize it. Looking at my watch, I finally decided to conclude the lecture.
After finishing, I walked off the auditorium, and as I was about to leave the university, the Officials and the dean surrounded me. "Come drink with us! It is on us today haha!" One of the officials said while laughing, "I can't I need to go back to meet up with my family" I smiled and avoided going out with them.

"Jax, did Yu arrive at my house?" I looked at Jax, and he nodded, "Good, let's go eat at a good restaurant." After a few minutes of driving, we reached an alley, and I left the car followed by Jax. Entering the restaurant in the alley, we were greeted by an old man cooking.
I greeted him with a nod, and he did the same. We sat down, and after Rose translated our order, we began eating. I chatted with Rose as I ate discussing the beta progress and she said so far everything is going as expected, monsters are learning as well as the players. After ending the call, I continued eating rice and duck meat.
"Jax, do you know what I like the most?" I looked at Jax who was enjoying his food, "No boss?" He looked confused with a stuffed mouth. I raised my fist, "Loyalty and honor," Jax took a moment before he nodded his head, we went back to eating, and after a few minutes, someone disturbed my meal by crashing the door of the restaurant.
Three people entered and began speaking in Mandarin, I looked around and ignored them before going back to eat. One of the Chinese men noticed that I ignored them and got angry before using the wooden plank to hit me, it broke and I barely felt it. Jax got angry and took out his pistol before aiming it at the man who hit me. All of them became pale, I stood up and had Rose translate "Take me to your boss." They hurriedly guided me to a close abandoned building, after a few minutes of walking we reached an open area with several people sitting around a muscular man.
"Hello, do you speak English?" I looked at the man, "Yes, I do" He looked at me surprised before looking closely and standing up. "Ace?" his smile got wide, "Hmph, your men hit me, what will you do to them?".
The man looked at his men, "I will give them a big reward" Before he could move his mouth I held his neck and took him to the edge of the building, "Good, do you like skydiving?" I looked at him with a smile.
"Please, MEN! HELP!" After he looked at his men and screamed he noticed all of them were on the ground with bullet shots in their heads. He held onto my arms hard, but I didn't budge and opened my hands making him fall to the ground. Leaving the building, I went back to the house with Jax and entered with a smile.
"Ace!" Sister Yu greeted me as I entered the house, "Sister, where is your son?" I looked around, "He is taking a bath now." I nodded and walked towards the living room and then sitting next to Emma who was playing with the kids. I felt happy and satisfied, I haven't played around with the system for a while, will check it out later I guess.
-----------------
"We have traced 4C3!" A girl with a ponytail jumped up as she screamed, everyone who was working next to her jumped up and ran to her. An old man came in fast and asked her "Who is he?!" the girl smiled, "I don't know his name, but I found something more precious, his organization name" the girl printed the papers and passed it around.
"Oh my god, this is big! Everyone, begin digging up more information about this" The old man looked at the paper as his entire body shook.
-------------------
"Master, a trap has been triggered" Rose voice came out from the phone, Emma who was next to me heard it and then looked at me smiling. I stood up and walked out of the house, "Rose, I want to know who solved the riddle and also give me everything you have on them."
"Yes, Master!", I walked to the car and excused Jax to rest, I started the car engine before driving to a warehouse I had Rose prepare with types of equipment inside. After an hour of driving, I reached the warehouse and entered, "Let us see who can solve my first piece of the puzzle."

When an unexpected accident deposits this literal War Machine on a planet full of Cultivators and Wizards, chaos and insanity ensues. What Alpha and those around him don't know, however, is that he will soon become the focal point of a millennias long plot that holds not only the fate of the world in its balance, but possibly the entire Galaxy.Ancient Enemies awaken as the Powerhouses of the world converge with Alpha at the center. Get ready, its going to be a wild ride. ------------------------------------------------------- |_+) Come, Read the Story. Watch Worlds be Conquered. (ALL HAIL YOUR NEW ROBOT OVERLORDS!) See Arrogant Young Masters be slapped in the face (by a 170mm Rail-slug traveling Mach 3). Find Grand, Valuable Treasure (which gets put into storage, because what use does an AI have with pill herbs?) Explore Strange and wonderful lands (that will be shortly stripped mined and exploited for all usable resources) |_+) JOIN US!______________________________________ ALPHA-555-12-4412 (Designation: Star Conquer).One of the 5 most powerful and advanced AI-driven Interstellar Weapon Platforms ever built, was programmed with a very simple mission. Travel the stars.Seek out new and hospitable Alien Worlds.Establish a Forward based for their Master's eventual colonization.And, If necessary, crush any and all native resistance it might find. It was a Mission that Alpha took seriously and dedicated its entire being to.However, when Alpha flies a liiiiitle to close to a Blackhole and gets sucked in, it is thrown into a situation that no amount of programming could prepare it for. Now stranded on an alien, yet familiar world, full of dangerous beasts and strange phenomenon its database has no record or explanation for, Alpha must find a way to not only survive, but thrive.And eventually to do what he was built to do. Conquer._____________________________________________________Some things to expect from this Story 1): MC is an AI programmed with a very specific goal. Thus don't expect him to think or act like a human might. That being said, he/it is not bloodthirsty and evil either. He is specifically programed to work with, and indoctrinate Native species when possible. He is not a demon lord come to end the world as they know it, but a Conqueror come to subjugate. 2): MC won't be getting some kind of Humanoid form or suddenly start trying to think like a Human. Although an AI, he is perfectly Sapient, and fully understands both what he is and what is mission is. He is capable of adapting and changing his thought process, but at the end of the day, the Mission is what matters to him. He doesn't see the need or even WANTS to be Human. The only exception to this might be Humanoid body doubles or puppets used in places his main body isn't able to go. 3): This story is a mix of both Sci-Fi and Cultivation novels. MC with NOT be able to Cultivate themselves (for obvious reasons), but using his technology and knowledge, will be able to adapt and repurpose the strange and exotic resources you might find in a Cultivation World to increase his power and keep up with the powerhouses of this Universe. 4): The Intention of this story is to alternate between it and Parasite King, so I don't get burned out writing either one. As such, updates, while not slow, won't be to quick. Bare with me for awhile till the wheels get rolling.
