496 Adventurer Base Camp

The Dungeon Cave in the middle of the two borders had been conveniently placed by Jin near an abandoned town in the goblin's regions. He believed that if there were signs of development for the base camp, the abandoned buildings would soon fill up.

As of now the adventurer base camp was loaded with various makeshift tent stores that were at least dozens of metres away from the Dungeon Cave's entrance. Colourfully draped linen cloth roofs were used as shelters from the weather while the first merchants had laid out items varying from weapons, armour, accessories and even food.

Nearly all of these merchants if not all, were Jin's Orcs and Goblins that had been working on the construction of the fortress city. All chosen members had been confirmed to have a decent amount of experience in the ways of a merchant. However, for the orcs, they were obliged to wear a half mask to conceal their identity in case someone were to recognise them.

It was a sad price to pay, having been resurrected yet being unable to tell anyone about it. Should any of their friends or relatives come to visit the Dungeon Cave, the Orcs were forced to feign ignorance.

Nevertheless, Jin allowed them to control the prices of the wares they held, thereby helping them to reforge any bonds if they so chose. (As long as they earnt a profit at the end of the day.)

Jin wanted to see the progress of the market driven by buying and selling his own goods. Items retrieved from the dungeon by the adventurers would be purchased at a lower price and subsequently sold at a higher tagged price. And of course, not directly selling back to the said adventurers.

He already made the preparations so that there would be a black market merchant that would periodically come to buy off those goods that were sold by the adventurers for slightly more favourable rates than the merchants, to prevent any of his own merchants from stockpiling. (However, it would be mostly limited to weapons and armours).

This was because he knew there were a plethora of major underworld gangs in the various worlds that worked away from the law and would definitely try to take a piece of the Dungeon Cave's loot. (He learnt much from the Triads.)

So instead of allowing some other underworld gang to prosper, why not make use of this opportunity to create his own fake underworld gang? Some of the Orcs who heard about this idea immediately volunteered.

The System verified that those who did had underworld operational experiences, making them the best candidate to set up their own gang within the Dungeon Cave territory.

Jin already had a particular mischievous individual in mind to be in charge of them, one he could perfectly envision as a Bandit Leader without any trouble. (It would be a perfect reward for him helping with the Elder Demons while simultaneously allow the bored Fox Fanatic to incite Chaos upon somebody else.)

On the surface, this was still seen as a giant cooperation project between the Goblins and the Orcs. The dungeon supplier had, therefore, asked both Kings to station their staunch defenders to ensure law and order were in place. Goblin King Sol sent Wyrstriker's father, Argent, the Spear General and Gladio, the Sword General to monitor the lands for at least the first few months of its inception. Meanwhile, Orc King Frost Echo, sent out Cross, the Orcs' Spymaster for the first month.

It had been months since the Goblins and Orcs had started traded items, slowly mending their relationship under the watchful eyes of Spymaster Cross and Dagger General Igni. This adventurer's base camp existence would be the best proof that both races could peacefully coexist and therefore, lots of steps were taken to ensure this would go right.

Even though Jin could have created two Dungeon Cave Entrances or perhaps even three to include the humans, that would just have been an easy way out for this world, and nothing would have improved. Qiu Yue had also strongly encouraged her boss to make them work together.

The Red Panda cultivator who had the two Kings under her control dipped her hands into this adventurer base camp by making the trade routes which she established between both races to create a checkpoint there.

For now, they would be using this particular checkpoint as a place to rest and replenish certain stocks. However, Qiu Yue hoped that if this base camp grew big enough, she could build up a trading post right there.

Lynn had also chimed in by getting her penguins to create a makeshift spot to earn money from travellers and adventurers. Jin had already allocated a large enough space that could potentially feed hundreds in one go with huge makeshift tents for the adventurer's to partake the food. With the giant Horned Chicken as her new meat dish, she had already whipped up a few simple but very satisfying dishes to be served in that area.

And as Jin had created the makeshift tents for the restaurant, he realised sanitisation could become a problem. The location did not have any lakes or other sources of water anywhere in the vicinity, so he asked the System to work on a proper sanitisation area for the goblins and orcs.

That was also when (soon to be Bandit Leader?) Kraft jumped in and proposed Jin to utilise the Emerald Mountain Hot Spring Instance.

Jin realised that was a brilliant idea and told the System to create scrolls of portals to the Emerald Mountain Hot Spring instances which could be sold for a price by the merchants.

On top of that, he was planning to use that particular idea to create a portal scroll to enter the Deep Reservoir Fishing Instance as well, allowing anyone to fish up food to eat. (But of course, priced at a significantly lower cost as compared to the ones they sold for his cultivators.) At that point, Jin also considered if he should instead directly integrate the Restaurant instance into the scroll since the fishing instance was already part of it.

Operation: Dungeon Cave had to work. For the prospect of future and more importantly, immediate profit!

--------

Both the Goblin and Orc Kings were leading a rather large entourage of people who wished to fight in this particular dungeon. Thus, it might take some time for both parties to arrive, so that they could officially open the Dungeon Cave. Jin had decided to use whatever time he had to get on with the renovation of the Tiangong Shopping District.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

While waiting for the System to create a render of the new landscape for the shopping district, he focused on a few miscellaneous issues which may potentially allow Jin to expand in the long run.

The first was to allow the store owners who were interested to sell some of his merchandise in the area. In short, he would become their supplier for goods to sell for certain stores, for example, the weapons, clothes as well as inscriptions.

He already had some specifics in mind. He Rong, the owner of Toyz Connection, could sell the Spinning Tops seeing how it was a major hit ever since its inception. Lai Fu was the perfect candidate to sell some of his own produce which he would get from the Agriculture Sector. If they proved a hit, he might be able to sell them in his world and save the transaction fee that could occur while dealing in the System's black market.

On a separate note, since the System had captured humans, Jin figured he might as well use them for the delivery services his customers had been pestering about for a long time now. This would ensure they would get more cash in a relatively quick time. He and Lynn had thought about it and ultimately decided to sell only the following.

Chashu Ramen in Red Snapper Broth, the Tonkatsu Curry Rice for the main dishes. Onigiris, the Triple Cheese Pizza, Fried Oreo pie and the cheesecake for dessert. Drinks wise, Jin had made everything available, but the only drawback was that the users could only use Pandamonium App to order them and it was not available in other food delivery apps.

The reason was rather obvious for him but not the customers.

However, when the news broke out in the Pandamonium forum, everyone went batshit crazy that Jin was going to allow delivery only within 10kilometres of the vicinity (even ignoring that the prices had been jacked up 20% to cover transportation fees).

They argued that if he allowed other food delivery services to handle, he would be able to cater to more customers and further distances. (Oh, and the sub icon within the Pandamonium app? Jin had named the food delivery service as Pandafull.)

Yet, Jin made his stand and replied in the forums stating that this was for now just an experimental project. He wanted to ensure that the food remained at its highest quality when being delivered.

And the dungeon supplier was not joking.

Jin had the System to create a delivery bag that provided temporal stasis for the food which utilised the same concept as the storage areas for Lynn's kitchen. He also enhanced it with gravitational inscriptions to ensure the food would not be rocked should the Farming Humans get into any accidents like tripping or accidental crushing of the bag.

He did not trust other food delivery drivers to maintain the food in their best condition. Worse, his reputation could suffer, if some decided to try possibly cheating the customers. (There were documented cases of this) But now that he had Farming Humans, he had reliable workers after inserting a few upgrade cards he created himself.

The customised upgrade cards were no weapons but the Pandafull Delivery Bags, detailed information about Shenzhen's location on par with GPS as well the (most expensive one to create) and a temporary Humble Horse Cultivation Grade 1.

In the future, they would have to learn the Cultivation themselves as it was quite costly to upkeep, but on the flipside it allowed them to move long distances on foot quickly without the need for any bikes, allowing them to take short cuts based on their 'inherent' knowledge of the city.

These former slaves were already grateful that they had seemingly somehow survived the fight against the 'demonic' beings at the trading town of Wecha. While it was strange that they awoke somewhere unfamiliar, most initially assumed that not much would change, trading one Master for another.

Fortunately, they could not have been more wrong. Food was a hundred times better than the scraps of stale bread. There were a spacious bed and roof above them instead of the hard dusty ground that had awaited them each day. The Farming Humans was also afraid when the first being they encountered had been some of the Orcs who were still occupying the Guest Home Instance. They thought they were going through another hellhole.

However, they soon realised that those Orcs were far more compassionate than those Demon Rats could have ever been. Many of them showed them the ropes and even introduced them to other minions in the place, including the infamous resistance group, Jacks from their farming world.

Meanwhile, the announcement of this particular food service had caused Lynn's penguins to be working overtime, busy preparing sufficient food not just for the dungeon supplier store but for the Pandafull delivery service.

Based on the statistics of the type of food that was consumed in the Restaurant Instance for the past month, they had begun creating dozens of dishes and placed them into temporal stasis awaiting the next day when the service would go live.

The whole endeavour was not cheap, but Jin believed the Pandafull delivery service will bring in more than sufficient profit to cover the cost which the System concurred as well.
