"I guess vacation’s over," Ethan muttered as he walked back into his apartment, "time to deal with the collector."
He had offered all the help he could to both Blue Lantern and Newton Academy, it was now time to focus on the main problem.
The collector.
He had realized that he couldn’t actually move forward without dealing with that nuance.
And he had bigger problems he had to deal with in a year.
Ethan had to make earth ready to welcome their visitors from the stars and that couldn’t happen if he also had to deal with human obstacles also.
He did have a couple of ideas, but most of them either required his cloning pod or blackmail.
The cloning pod would’ve been the perfect choice....if the damn system allowed him access to it.
He just had to make a couple of people disappear and replace them with clones he had complete control of.
People that had others following them like sheep would’ve been the perfect choice, but he couldn’t even buy it to try and make a watered down version.
He was so close, yet so far to acquiring it and the most vexing part was that he had to wait for at least a month before attempting another knowledge and proficiency upload, least his brain matter would just flow out his nose.
Blackmail, would work for a while.... until the people started allying themselves against the common enemy, him.
Ethan would be seen as the bigger threat and the blackmailed people would take the first chance they had to turn against him.
Besides, he was almost a hundred percent sure that some would try allying themselves with the aliens, which wouldn’t be surprising since greed was human nature.
That left him with one other choice.
"System?"
[Yes host,] the holographic screen appeared before him with a text.
"Open the shop and filter to tier 4 nanobots blueprints," he instructed.
With his words, the screen immediately switched to a new one, the system shop.
