The Bodyguard System

The reason why Jaden was surprised the moment that he accessed the resources category was simply because of the contents of the resources mentioned.

Well, the resources included ordinary things that could be found within this world, but that was not all. Considering that the system actually offered things such as spaceships and so on, which was something that Jaden had not anticipated to find within the system store.

Nonetheless, that was not the main thing. The main issue here was the fact that within the store, there was actually the possibility of purchasing humans. And the category that humans had been categorized into was human resources.

At this point, Jaden was completely confused. He looked at the humans that could be found within the store, and found that they were numerous. And, they were categorized according to their abilities and skills.

'System, are these clones or are they actual humans?' Jaden asked. If this group of people was being sold by the system, then that implied that they were slaves.

In his opinion, it was only slaves that could be sold. But there was always a possibility that a person would sell themselves, but that was extremely rare.

[The host should not have much concerns about this. All the people that have been listed within the store are considered by the system as easy targets. According to the situations that they face, they can agree to sign contracts of loyalty to the host as long as the host makes the purchase.]

[Of course, they have their own needs, and reasons as to why they would accept. And so, the system will use the money that will be offered by these host in order to fulfill the wishes of these people.]

Jaden finally understood after the explanation from the system. It turned out that it was just like hiring a person. The only difference here was the fact that he was going to make the payment right now, once and for all.

After the payment was completed, those people would work for him for the rest of their lives, and they would never betray him. As for how the system could guarantee how they would not betray him, that was not something that Jaden was concerned about.

In any case, the system had its own abilities that were way beyond imagination. So, Jaden did not really need to worry about something like that.

Jaden looked at the price of the human resources, and finally, he decided against making any purchase. In any case, at the moment, he really did not need any human resource.

In fact, Jaden could see that within the category of human resources that were categorized according to their abilities, several of them were actually mutants. Jaden was not sure if this group of people was from this world, or there was a possibility that they were from another civilization, but nevertheless, there was no harm at the moment.

It was just that Jaden had decided in his heart that he was going to set aside a certain amount of money that was going to be used just in case he needed someone. After all, he could not predict what would happen in the future, and there was a possibility that he might need someone at a point.

At that time, in case he was dealing with those mutants from the two forces, he could simply purchase one person from the store, and they would help him in dealing with those guys.

It was also at this moment that Jaden suddenly thought of something. He immediately asked, 'System, can the abilities that have been purchased from the store be handed over to someone else?'

Jaden obviously did not believe that all the abilities that were present within the store were meant for him. After all, how could he have all those abilities, skills and other things?

Even though he had already gone through the different abilities that were present within the store, not only just because of the prices, but because of efficiency, Jaden decided to focus on the telekinesis ability for the time being.

Of course, he would not mind getting another ability later on, but that was not something that he wanted to do for the time being. In any case, having so many abilities that he could not use who was completely useless and wasteful.

And since that was the case, Jaden believed that there was a possibility that he could actually give these abilities to another person. It was just that he was not really sure about it, and had to confirm from the system.

[That's right. The host can grant the abilities that he has purchased from the store to any person. It is just that there is going to be extra charges for that.]

[The moment that the host purchases the ability from the store, the ability will be immediately given to the host. But, if the host wants to give it to another person, they would have to store it in another place.]

[So, the host will have to pay for the vessel that would be used to carry the ability, so that it could be transferred to another person later on.]

[Reminder: The host has to be cautious about who is being given the ability. If the host gives an ability to a person that is ungrateful, there is a possibility that the host might lead to the revelation of the system to the world.]

[Warning: The host is reminded that if the system is exposed, there are going to be consequences for that. The consequences might involve the destruction of the entire civilization on this planet.]

From the first few prompts from the system, Jaden was obviously excited about it. As long as he found someone that was considered as loyal, Jaden could simply take an ability and grant it to them.

But the moment that he saw the other prompts, he was immediately reminded of the fact that he had to be cautious. Yes, he could give someone an ability, but he would have to come up with an explanation on how that ability had been given.

Additionally, he would have to judge the character of the person that he would be giving the ability. In any case, there was always a possibility that someone that was a friend would turn into a foe the moment that they saw benefits.

As for the last part, those prompts concerning the warning and reminder from the system, Jaden of course remembered them clearly.

He could understand about the implication of the revelation of the system, and the consequences that it would bring. Since this system was part of a top civilization, and was being hunted down by the other civilizations, it was clear about the repercussions that would come with people knowing about the existence of the system within this world.

As long as the system was revealed to the world, there was always a possibility that the other civilizations would be able to use their own methods in order to acquire the information.

At that time, they would definitely descend into this planet, and then, there was a great possibility that they would end up destroying this planet while they would be looking for the system.

After all, according to the system, even though the system and other pieces of technologies were only considered as low level, the moment that they were acquired by other civilizations, things would obviously change.

Those other civilizations who would immediately be able to reach new heights by the use of those technologies. It was simply because of that reason that they survivors of that civilization had decided to send the remaining pieces of technologies all around the world, so that they could help the other civilizations like this world.

And in reality, the system had already helped this civilization, even if it was indirectly. After all, it was in the stone that the system was contained in the moment that it landed in this planet that mutants had appeared within this world.

Had it not been for the fact that some greedy individuals had gone after his parents, leading to their death, Jaden believed that there was a possibility that the number of mutants present within this world would have reached a high number.

In any case, it was only a small piece of the stone that had been used in order to create the current mutants. One could imagine about the remaining half of the stone.

Jaden of course understood the complications that could be brought about, and had no intention of revealing the system. In any case, he had only asked just in case.

He could simply grant the ability to a person that he had purchased from the system. At least, with the help of the system, he could guarantee the loyalty of the person that he would have acquired.

At that time, even if he purchased an ordinary person, as long as he granted them an ability, they would be able to transform. And then, he would be able to acquire what he had needed, but all that depended on the pricing.

Of course, within the store, the price of the mutants was the one that was the highest. And currently, there was actually a mutant that possessed a grade A ability, and this guy was priced at $100 billion.

Jaden was not really sure if this was the price of the ability, or the price of the person. But nonetheless, as long as this $100 billion could satisfy whatever need it was that this person had, then all was good.
