nLandon chuckled after looking at his side-mission.

nAs expected, the system didn't play fair at all.

nThings had to go Heaven's way or the highway.

nSide-Mission: As allies to several Empires, the host is required to distribute the design layout for these Ballistas, ensuring that all allies can protect themselves from such attacks.

nReward: Modified Owl Vision (can see during the night as if it were day.)

nDeadline: December 31st.

nPunishment: Decrease in strength, bringing the host back to the average strength of a regular human.

nLandon looked at the mission and smiled helplessly.

nOf course, he would do it.

nHis strength right now was nothing short of superhuman.

nSo how could he go back down to that of a regular human?

nNo way!

nHe had to guarantee his safety so as to live long enough to improve the tech in this world, hence completing his primary task.

nLike the system said when he first came to this world... if he died before at least bringing this world to earth's standard, his entire being and soul would be obliterated.

nThat meant he wouldn't even be able to reincarnate or have the option of going to heaven or hell... if there was any.

nHe would vanish as if he never existed in the first place.

nAnd with how dangerous this lawless world filled with assassins, power-hungry, and greedy people was, he dared not take away his advantage over them.

nPlus, it wouldn't be bad to have this so-called modified Owl vision.

nActually, there are no creatures that can completely see in the dark since sight requires light to reflect through one's eyes.

nNonetheless, Owls have far better vision at night than humans since they're nocturnal.

nOwls see in limited colours, mostly black and white.

nBut according to the system's Modified owl vision, he should be able to see the bight as if he were looking during the day, with colour as well.

nDamm!

nWhat an incredible superpower.

nHe was even more motivated to get things done.

nAnother thing that made him jump with joy was that his owl vision was similar to having binocular vision, as he could zoom in and out at particular ranges, depending on how strong his ability was.

nOkay. He was ready to do this!

n.

n'System, so I can share the design, but I can't modify it, right?'

nThat is correct host.

nThe system doesn't allow any original ideas from the host or the host's original planet to be shared with others who aren't Baymardians.

nRight now, the Ballistas already exist, and this isn't the host's idea per se.

nSo the host is allowed to share the exact mechanism that exists in Morgany... Nothing more.

nNo upgraded versions, no new ideas and nothing else would be allowed to leave Baymard.

nIn future, if someone else upgrades it, the host can also upgrade the design mechanism too based on that person's upgraded version... If the host intends to share it with other empires.

nBottom line, the host can only upgrade it when someone in this world has upgraded it too.

nLandon listened to the system and nodded in understanding.

nThe system's words were similar to what it had already told him years back.

nYears ago, when black powder came into existence, the system told him that he could sell gunpowder out if it had the same compositions and impurities as the one circulating around.

nOne should know that even till now, the black powder circulating had about 60~80% of impurities in them.

nSo they were very weak and weren't as explosive as his.

nThat said, he could only give out gunpowder if he degraded his own to that of others here.

n.

nAs for other Siege weapons like the giant Catapults, Battering Rams, Trebuchets and Siege towers... Even if he created them, he wouldn't be able to share them out of Baymard.

n

n

nSo he could only wait for someone to grow brains and create them before distributing the design plans to his allies.

nWell, Baymard itself didn't need siege weapons since it had tanks and other advanced weapons.

nHis allies needed these siege weapons more than he did.

nHonestly, he was more on the lookout for when Catapults and Siege towers would get invented.

nSiege towers were really troublesome because they were moving wooden towers that were the height of many standard city walls.

nThe tall towers stood on several wheels and were typically driven towards the battleground and placed beside an enemy wall.

nFrom there, the knights would climb up the stairs of the tower and jump from the tower onto the high city walls, infiltrating the enemy base.

nEven the catalysts were risky since they should shoot giant boulders over the city walls, killing the civilians inside.

nThings would soon get pretty dangerous if his allies weren't prepared.

nWho knows, Morgany might start feeling too superior and try making a move at them.

nThese were terrible times.

nNo wonder the system requested that he shared the design plans.

nThe system was also doing its best to keep Morgany obedient.

nEverything had to go according to the will of the heavens.

nWhat more could he say?

n.

n'Wait. System, when I give out these plans, do I give them out and give credit to the Hertfilian creator?'

n'No. The host will use his name.

nIt's very common for 2 or more people to think of things at the same time.

nSo it shouldn't be a problem.

nTo quote an example, during medieval times in the host's original planet, something as simple as a vertical loom for weaving clothes was created within different countries far away from each other around the same time.

nEach person thought that they were the first person to invent them.

nThe Egyptians had theirs, the Europeans had theirs, Asians and many other regions had their own unique weaving looms, all with different creators who thought they were the first to come up with the idea.

nLikewise, the host will be recorded down in history as the first person in the Pyno continent to come up with the Ballista.

nPlus, giving credit to the creator in Morgany would be too magical.

nThe creator thought of the idea in September and only got it approved this November.

nSo when did the host have time to sail to Morgany and get inspiration from the creator there?

nI'm afraid that the hist will be prosecuted for surgery instead.

nNo one would believe it!

nHost, this system advises you to please stop thinking stupidly and claim the credits here.

n(-_-)

n.

nLandon rubbed his nose awkwardly.

nHe was just asking a simple question.

nWhy so rude?

nForget it.

nHe quickly took out his pen and started writing and sketching everything he knew from the system.

nAnd so, just like that, the Pyno continent would also usher in the new Siege Era.
