980 Yun's Business Proposals

He was surprised to find out that Yang Hui and Yang Rong had been bestowed such precious industries by their father. However, on second glance, it became obvious that although these were 'essential' industries, it did not automatically make them profitable.

The refining industries that the Tiger Brothers held were just a pebble on the road compared to major brands, but it was a different story for Jin. The addition of these new industries on Earth meant that neither Pandapolis nor Demonpolis would have to go to any lengths to create these industries. Still, if they needed it, they could always copy-paste the designs or even improve the refining process to create their very own. 

While a portion of the Industry Sector had been occupied for military production, Jin wanted to diversify his products for this now-closed city to be more self sufficient in the future. That meant, the automated production of food and refinery of basic raw materials.

Thus, with the newly acquired territories, it gave Jin convenient access to such resources, reducing their reliance on the Black Market for primary resources such as precious metals, oils and even plastics. 

Of course, this might lead to a deficiency to this world's balance since Jin would be taking a bunch of resources from his world and use it for other worlds, but in return, he would be using all this for the Virtual Reality Network which he wished to create in the end, so ultimately there should be an equilibrium.

"I've been personally tasked to do it because certain projects have a tendency to lie around rotting when my *cough* boss *cough* was supposed to be the one who has to do it. Do you know? Like a certain advanced training centre?" Claire yawned despite the rich smell of the Blue Mountain Coffee filling the room.

"Cough! As well as the Cultivation Zoo." Yun added shamelessly as she was holding those two documents and conveniently handed them to Jin. 

"Yun felt that you had too much work on your hands as is already. 'Someone' had to help you out, because that stuff is rather urgent." Claire said while pointing to herself. 

She wondered if she accidentally caught the scolding behaviour from Grandma Yuan, but whatever it was, it certainly felt good to criticise Jin, perhaps because he was her boss.

"Do you have any idea about how much work it involved getting them to you?! We had to pay hunters to catch them, pay massive tariffs for the imports to bring them in and also pay the annual licence in advance to keep them. And yet, all these costs had been handled by Grandma Yuan by herself without a single complaint! I was not allowed to complain despite seeing those costs and could only curse under my breath." Claire complained as she drank another gulp of the blue mountain coffee.

"In addition, the JODE board had been pestering us for at least a basic proposal for the advanced training centre. They initially pressed Grandma Yuan for more details even though she declined it, on the ground that 'a good centre cannot be rushed'. The only silver lining was that thanks to your involvement in the National Defence Emergency event and your people defeating the Loopa Ooofpas, they decided to close an eye and gave you a grace extension. For once your disappearance was in your favour as they're all impressed that you managed to win while suffering enormous injuries."

"That is why Yun had volunteered to get it done in your stead. Within those two weeks you were out, she had been fiddling with the Dungeon Maker." Her final gup of the coffee allowed her to heave out a large sigh of relief as if all she said had been heavily weighed on her chest.

"I had done the basic planning and allocation of the Zoo animals based on the basic design framework you had kept with the System when you made your dungeons. I merely followed it and assigned the creatures as such. Amenities and the required workplaces are all in the documented blueprints. Look through the proposal and see if you are satisfied with it." Yun said as she surprisingly did not dare to face Jin for the first time. 

Although the System's Assistant had the upper hand in most matters, using the Dungeon Maker was entirely a separate issue. There were several settings that Jin specifically set so that it would facilitate his style of dungeon creation. Even the System had to 'save' the templates in case Yun made a mess out of it. If that happened, it would be her fault.

So, she was secretly hoping that she did not get such a huge scolding from Jin since he usually was very protective about being the only one to create any dungeon instances and no one is able to have a say in it. (Well, with the exception of customer feedback.)

"Ah, I am not too sure about the Advanced Training Centre blueprint since I am not an expert when it comes to architecture. Claire, can send Qiu Yue the details and tell her it's urgent? I will still take a look after checking on the Cultivation Zoo Proposal first." Jin said as he focused on the Cultivation Zoo since he had already created a foundation for that particular dimensional instance.

It was supposed to be the biggest dimensional instance he had ever created at that point in time since it was meant to be a series of dimensional instances combined as one. But now with the increased processing capability from the System and the success of making the Panda Street Instance, he was considering whether he should change the Cultivation Zoo into one massive dimensional instance. Naturally, that would further push the boundaries of Dungeon Making for the System, but Jin was not the only one improving the way he did his instances.

The System had never stopped fixing and patching itself up, optimising procedures whenever possible so that the dimensional instances would not take as much memory and processing capabilities as it would have three months ago. 

And now with the advent of the Virtual Reality Network, the System's backend had been crunching numbers to ensure that even more processes could be shortened, optimised and thus ensuring its processing capabilities could be efficiently used. Fortunately, the Crown of Beyond Depravity did not just give the System additional processing capabilities. It actually sped up its calculations with the help of the Dungeon Cores that the Crown of Beyond Depravity had been created from. 

With time, the System managed to break down the Dungeon Cores and based on its analysis of the Pandapolis and Demonpolis Dungeon Cores, it was able to recreate the formerly broken Dungeon Cores as separate processing units and attempted to house the Sub Systems within them. The Users did not know of this 'hardware' upgrade, but the migration of the Sub Systems into these Dungeon Cores had also relieved the System from these modules.

Most importantly, by being housed in these the Dungeon Cores, the Sub Systems finally had the chance to grow on their own. Of course, they would require massive amounts of resources; however, it did mean that they were no longer being restrained by the System because of its limited processing capabilities. 

Thus, in the future, it is possible that the Sub System can fully support the Sub System Users as if they are a System User. (Although, it is still considered as an infant at the moment.) With the separation of the Sub Systems, the System could better support Jin's projects and instances, and so it was a boon that they managed to get the Crown of Beyond Depravity. 

"The Cultivation Zoo layout is very systematic, and I see no problems in terms of convenience for a multi-layer dungeon instance. Only I think it would be even better if we put all the various environments together. Similar to what I did for the Panda Street Instance." Jin said as he could already envision what was left to do it. A robust transportation module within the Cultivation Zoo instance, possibly just by using the same as with Panda Street Instance. 

"But the various environments will clash, won't they?" Yun asked, and Jin winked back as if not to worry much about it. He also wants to keep the various environments intact, letting the animals be in their natural surroundings so that when the cultivators could observe them, they would be more inspired. 

"Hmm, fine. Don't take too long making those changes. I do not want Grandma Yuan to use the Zoo as an opportunity to bash you too." Yun warned Jin, and he nodded his head violently. 

He suddenly realised why Yun was so focused on these documents. This way, Jin could at least tell Grandma Yuan there was some progress to the projects he was handed by her. Perhaps to Yun, this would prove to be a better New Year greeting than going there with a couple of oranges and asking for a red packet in exchange. 

"No wonder you insisted on going to the Tiger's Meet first. It's to give more time for Claire to tidy everything up. Thanks... Yun. You are already one hell of a System Assistant at the start of the New Year." Jin nodded his head once more with gratitude and Yun curled her lips a little and nodded in response too.

"Hey! What about me!? I want to be acknowledged as a Sub System User!" Claire grumbled that she had done all the work and yet Yun got the credit instead. 

"What are you talking about? You are already one." Jin stifled his laugh and asked Claire to check her System phone, and when she opened it, there was already a 'congratulations' sign floating at the centre of the screen.

"Happy New Year once more." Jin smiled towards her as Yun stood aside and opened another portal courtesy of the System. This time, they're ready to meet Grandma Yuan.
