Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 54 Warehouse Rat
Chapter 54

Not long after Rosen's order was relayed, one of the professional managers gave him a negative answer.

He has no problem buying weapons, but buying roses from the poor would cause a big problem.

It turns out that although this thing is not difficult to manufacture, its output is astonishing, and almost every small country has a lot of it.

However, in this day and age, the roses of the poor are rarely used in war.

Because V5, comprised of the five largest nations in the Hunter x Hunter world, imposed numerous restrictions on the poor's Rose.

No country or individual can hide V5's secrets from those who exploit the poor.

When the Rose of the Poor was first created, small countries believed that this bomb had changed the nuclear deterrence of major powers.

Although its destructive range is not as great as that of a nuclear bomb, the poor man's rose has the advantage of being very small in size.

Even an ordinary person could carry the poor man's rose into the V5 capital and cause devastating destruction.

This directly undermined V5's hegemony, and the widespread use of the Poor Man's Rose in warfare among small nations also caused an astonishing number of casualties.

In an ordinary world, the poor man's rose would definitely be a Pandora's box that destroys the world.

However, in the world of Hunter x Hunter, where Nen abilities are present, death is sometimes not the end but the beginning.

Nen users may develop a stronger afterlife Nen than they did in life, and ordinary people may also leave behind various evil thoughts after death.

Although ordinary people's Nen is weak, the chance of it remaining is countless times lower than that of Nen users.

However, too many ordinary people died under the Rose of the Poor. In the end, the remaining evil thoughts of countless ordinary people gathered together to form the Rose of the Poor, which became a Nen tool. This Nen tool has two effects: to locate the Rose of the Poor and to suppress the Rose of the Poor.

After suppression, the most terrifying poison of the poor man's rose was completely eliminated.

Once located, this device can detect any faction that produces or uses the Roses of the Poor.

It was because of the birth of this Nen tool that V5, who possessed it, was able to get rid of the threat of the Poor Man's Rose to his own hegemony and bring the once almost out-of-control Poor Man's Rose under control. Otherwise, given the evil intentions of humanity, this thing would have been enough to destroy mankind.

Rosen now wants the poor man's rose. It's not hard to get his hands on it, but it's almost impossible to get it out of V5's sight.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Rosen temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​obtaining the poor man's rose.

Once he controls a small country, it will be much easier for him to obtain the Rose of the Poor.

While V5 can restrict the Rose of the Poor, ultimately there is only one such tool.

They can deter small countries from abusing the law, but they cannot prevent small countries from being driven to the brink of extinction and resorting to it for self-preservation.

Seeing that there was nothing to do at Youkexin for the time being, Rosen immediately made arrangements to return to the mysterious study.

At this time, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Gray Ratmen directly led to the Gray Ratmen's logistics being unable to keep up.

Although the pirate alliance was repeatedly defeated by the gray rats and human superhumans in the early stages of the war, its logistics soon failed and the offensive and defensive positions began to shift.

In fact, if the human superhuman sequence were to exert all its strength, it would not be difficult to help the Gray Ratmen defeat the pirate alliance in one fell swoop.

However, the extraordinary human sequence entered to acquire resources and reap benefits, not to risk their lives against ancient beings from the spiritual realm like the pirate alliance. At least half of their strength is used for self-preservation; don't expect them to risk their lives unless there's an enormous benefit to be gained.

Seeing this situation, Rosen didn't stand out but instead joined the crowd in taking advantage of the chaos. The pirate alliance still had ammunition and could continue bombarding Spiral Harbor from the sea. The real opportunity for humanity's extraordinary abilities to kill the pirates and seize their ships would come when the pirate alliance ran out of ammunition and opted for a landing operation.

However, Rosen couldn't wait that long. After leaving the mysterious study, he went directly to the depths of Spiral Harbor.

As Rosen traversed the long rat trail, he avoided all the gray ratmen along the way.

This is the territory of the Gray Ratmen, so they don't bother to hide themselves.

In addition, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of gray ratmen have led to a shortage of manpower, and the gray ratmen, whose logistics have almost collapsed, are in complete chaos.

Therefore, one can use extraordinary five senses to detect the Gray Ratmen in advance, and use Shadow Cloak and the Mysterious Study to avoid them.

Rosen didn't spend much time and quietly approached the Gray Ratmen's supply warehouse in Spiral Harbor.

The Gray Ratmen weren't lacking in supplies; they just didn't have enough manpower, so supplies couldn't be delivered in time.

So after entering the supply warehouse, Rosen began to steal supplies while the gray ratmen were moving them.

The supply warehouse has a confined space system to prevent people from sneaking in and stealing resources using spatial equipment.

However, Rosen has a mysterious study that ignores spatial restrictions. He is now like a mouse that has fallen into a granary, constantly moving supplies into the mysterious study and then storing them in the divine territory.

Although they are all basic resources, their quantity makes them equally valuable.

Rosen stole resources for two days, but was finally discovered by the gray ratmen.

If it were just ordinary supplies, that would be one thing, but the key issue is that he mainly stole extraordinary resources.

This included spiritual crystals, materials from extraordinary creatures, various extraordinary minerals and plants. Even though he specifically controlled the amount he stole each time, he was still discovered by the gray ratmen time and time again, which led to a Sequence 7 gray ratman being stationed in the warehouse.

Rosen tallied his haul; the spiritual crystals he had acquired alone were worth 300,000.

Including extraordinary minerals and plants, the total value exceeds one million spiritual crystals.

The extraordinary minerals were thrown directly into the divine territory and merged underground. The surviving extraordinary plants were planted in the medicine garden of the Alchemy Castle, while those that had been processed and could no longer be planted were placed in the treasure vault of the Alchemy Castle. Finally, the spiritual crystals were kept to transform into treasures for the Hunter x Hunter Spirit Realm.

Rosen was temporarily trapped in the supply warehouse and couldn't get out, so he immediately shifted his focus to training the hunters' acquired skills.

He probably won't leave until the day of the final battle between the Gray Ratmen and the Pirate Alliance.

……

The world will not stop turning just because someone leaves; extraordinary sequences continue to appear in a cavern in Spiral Harbor.

Of the nine people in total, the weakest was Sequence 8, and the three strongest even reached Sequence 7.

In fact, it's already difficult to gain much from the Spiral Sea Battle in the Spirit Realm, because the Spirit Realm doesn't reduce the rewards of challenging higher-level opponents, but it does reduce the rewards of higher-sequence opponents killing lower-sequence opponents.

Killing a Sequence 9 with a Sequence 7 yields almost no loot, and killing a Sequence 8 yields only half the loot.

And there are very few of the same level, Sequence 7, in the entire Spirit Realm.

Therefore, it's a bit of a waste of time for a team to come in with a Sequence 7. Under normal circumstances, such a team would not come to the Spiral Sea Battle, a spiritual realm with not much profit. The only explanation for this abnormal situation is that they have ulterior motives.
