Chapter 1607  God Realm 5

Back to his room in the Administrator Space, Tang Shaoyang immediately confirmed what Ira just told him. Unfortunately for him, Ira was telling the truth. The System demanded a report from the Administrator. It was different from those quests in the Dimensional Tower where he just needed to return after completing the quest.

[The reason the system needed an administrator was to take care of what the system could not without destroying everything. Void Creature and Calamity are things that are outside the System's control. They don't follow the rules set by the System, and The System needs Administrators to control them instead of destroying a whole world infested by Void Creatures and Calamities.]

[They are like Viruses, and the Administrator is like an antivirus to clean out the virus. So we need detailed reports, in case you find a new type of Void Creature or new Calamity just like your companions. Their behavior, in case they behaved strangely than usual and more. That data would help the other Administrators, and that's the reason why Admin Helper is available.]

[It's generally harder to work alone, but you can recruit them to ease your work, taking care of your paperwork but with a reward. You can promote them to Administrator only after they work for ten years, or they finish a hundred thousand missions together with their Administrator. That's the condition for their promotion, so you can't abuse your authority as Administrator.]

[As you also know, a certain mission requires you to form a team. You can form a team with Admin Helpers as well. I know your class and how you fight, but I advise you to have at least a few Admin Helpers work under you. You can't just choose anyone to be your Admin Helper, and we have made a list for new Administrators to choose Admin Helper. All Administrator Candidates are on that list, and you can choose Admin Helper from the list.]

[As Senior Administrators, you can choose ten Admin Helpers even though you can only appoint three Administrators from ten of them. I suggest you recruit at least four Admin Helpers because you need five people to form a team for a mission.]

Tang Shaoyang let out a long sigh as Ira told the truth. He did really need Admin Helper if that was the case. Paperwork was his weakness, and he did not think he would write a report faster than completing the mission itself. Without Admin Helper, writing the report would take most of his time to complete a mission.

"Can I see the list for Admin Helper?"

There were two types of Admin Helpers. The Admin Helper specifically helped the Administrator and Admin Helper that helped to smooth out the System's event. The former was someone like Ira, and the latter were the people who opened the shop during the first stage of the trial.

He thought Administrator was kinda a rare class, but it was not as rare as he thought. There were more than twenty thousand Administrator Candidates.

[They are still rare considering how many players existed in the Universe. I do believe there are more than Trillions of Players from how many worlds? Thousands of worlds? We don't know how many worlds under the System are. Over twenty thousand Administrator Candidates are not that many.] n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tang Shaoyang had to agree when Vandir explained it like that. When he had more than a hundred spirits, most of them coming from different worlds mostly. There might be millions of worlds, not just thousands. Something he could not find out unless the System was willing to share the information.

"But still, how am I supposed to choose from these twenty thousand people? How do I know they are good at their work?"

He finally understood why Ira was confident that he would choose her as Admin Helper. As she said, it was better to work with someone he knew than some random people.

"Can I sort them out by their factions?" The list in front of him was sorted out alphabetically. When he said that, the list changed. It was sorted by the factions, alphabetically.

"Can I exclude anyone from The Nirvana Alliance and The God Alliance?"

[There are no Administrators and Administrator Candidates from the alliances you mentioned! As their punishment, their members have been blacklisted for ten years.]

"Then exclude anyone from Vigamaur Dgaror, White Mystery, The Sorc Clan, and anyone based in the Dragon Realm!"

He remembered Vitali was from the Dragon Realm, but he forgot his clan name. That was why he excluded anyone from the Dragon Realm.

Despite his attempt to reduce the number of candidates, there were still more than eighteen thousand candidates on the list. The list was quite detailed, not just names but also their races, pictures, factions, how long they had become a candidate, and so on.

After looking for twenty people, he gave up and typed Castor's full name. Castor should be on the candidate list since he finished in the top ten. He wiped out the participants, leaving Ian, Agnes, Vitali, and Castor. Sure enough, Castor Bach Justesen appeared, available to recruit. But he hesitated to pick the guy because he did not know if Castor was any better than him for the paperwork.

"At least the guy has loyalty, and I know for sure he will not betray me since he has become my companion!" He tapped the recruit button, and the recruitment notice was sent. The System gave more freedom for the candidate to decline.

In the end, he typed Ira's name and there were many with the same names. Fortunately, he remembered her faction, Aedes. There was only one person named Ira from Aedes. He sent the recruitment notice to Ira.

"As for Agnes…" Even though he understood her circumstances, it did not mean he would let her off the hook that easily. If she was faced with the same circumstance, then she would not hesitate to betray him again.

It was different from Ira, she was just the bridge between the Nebula Alliance and him. She could overlook what her faction and her alliance did because it was not her personal decision. Regardless of Ira's choice, she had to listen to the Nebula Alliance's decision.

"I still need two more, but that can wait… Let's check out the God Realm this time."

Upon arriving at the portal in the Starter City, he received two notifications that Ira and Castor accepted his recruitment. The two were officially his personal Admin Helpers now.

Ira seemed to be able to read him as she was waiting for him near the portal at the Starter City. She was smiling at him upon noticing his arrival, and Agnes was next to her as well.

Tang Shaoyang glanced at the female elf, wondering why she was still there. From her sullen expression, he could tell that she knew about Ira becoming his Admin Helper. But it seemed like the female did not want to give up yet.

"Are you planning to make a team with two other Administrators? Since you are a Senior Administrator, you form a team with two Junior Administrators, and that will automatically put you as the team leader," Ira only saw one co-worker on the list. She started her work by giving him advice. Becoming a team leader allowed Tang Shaoyang to have the privilege to choose the mission.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "I don't plan to form a team with other Administrators and don't have a plan to form a team for the time being. I want to take on a mission that does not require a team for now. Even if I want to form a team, I would rather fill them with more Admin Helpers."

Filling his team with Admin Helper would give him Absolute Authority rather than having other Administrators in his team. That was the plan.

"I see… What about if I introduce myself to my friends? A lot of my friends lost their spots because you killed their Administrators," Ira did have a lot of friends, and they lost their spots after the incident with Tang Shaoyang.

"Let's talk about that later. I need to know more about the God Realm!"

Ira nodded, listening to his request. As they were about to leave, Agnes was about to follow them as well. However, Ira pulled the female elf to the side. They talked about something, but he could not hear what they talked about. It seemed like Ira did something to cover their conversation, and she convinced Agnes not to follow them. It was not like Tang Shaoyang could stop the elf from following him, but he was glad if Agnes left on her own.

"So what do you want to know about the God Realm? Even though I would say there's nothing special about this place aside from a world where the strong reside."

As Ira said, the city itself was not so special. If anything, he could buy the God Rank Artifact at an outrageous price. More than a trillion for one God Rank Artifact, and there are less than five of them. The store also sold the bloodline, and of course, it was bloodline from blood essence. There were a few advanced classes, but nothing particularly eye-catching for someone like Tang Shaoyang. He had a high expectation for the God Realm, but it was nothing but just another world where people from many worlds gathered.

"If you are looking for an artifact, then I know a place to find them. But you must prepare more than just GC. Or if you want to try your luck, you can try Arena of God. Something like a gladiator fight, and the winner will get an artifact or bloodline. It's an event hosted by The System directly. If you want to take the risk, there's also a dungeon. But it's not easy to enter a dungeon in the God Realm. A lot of people are lining up for a dungeon, so you might not get a spot even if you want to."

Tang Shaoyang was disappointed when he heard about the God Realm. He expected more than just another world.

"Ah, if you are looking for a new source of resources to strengthen your own faction, then you need to take over other faction's territories. The System will spawn a random mineral vein and dungeon in a random territory, so don't be surprised when you hear often about a war between factions. The larger your territory, then the higher the chance for a dungeon, mineral vein, or System Event to spawn in your territory."

"Ah, right, you got a territory by finishing in first place, right? Since it's a new territory, you will gain one year of protection. No one could take over your territory in a year. The System gives you a time, a time for you to prepare for the war! That's why a lot of factions in the God Realm are forming an alliance. You can't survive by yourself."
