568 Dinner Reviews

In the next few days, Jin had been spending all his time working on a secret project, and this time he did not allow anyone to disturb at all. He denied every visit from the likes of Ke Loong and only entertained the requests after he was done with his work since they were left as reminders by the System.

Even Yun was not given any permission to visit him and the only times he came out was for Dinners prepared by Lynn. Only on the table, did the Sub System Users and the bellators get a chance to report to him if there were any anomalies they had.

He was pleased to learn that the crucial component of Operation 'Piped Piper' had been created, even if Weslie along with the other researchers required more time to refine and fine tune it.

The Salamander Edwardio was given permission to return back to his clan but with a twist. Kraft along with Evon and Kiyu had brainwashed him of all the details and instead implanted fake memories into his brain. At the same time, he became the double agent who would monitor the Salamander's clan progress with a believable story that he managed to escape from the grasp of the Panda Monster.

What Kraft crafted was the Panda Monster was one of the latest Giants which somehow used the powers of teleportation to catch its prey. And that itself should prove enticing for the Salamander king to seek for it.

Also, if any magical entities or relics were used on Edwardio, the Salamanders would most likely not able to get any information and instead find those memories of him trying to escape the Panda Monster that Hamatarou managed to mimic. (He had a bloodied scar and broken tail to prove it although Kraft wanted to chop his arm off for maximum effect.)

This should allow the other tribes to get a breather from the slaughter that King Salamander was initiating since the power of teleportation would be a great boon travelling distance in this forsaken kingdom.

Other than that, Peppers reported that she was putting that thought of exploding the entire giant kingdom on hold. With Ayse advising her and taking scientific approaches to increase her threshold, Jin had secretly ordered Ayse to put the most stringent criteria before allowing Peppers to pass.

In a way, this was like a training exercise for Peppers to learn how to control her powers and use them even more efficiently despite the fact that she had unlimited mana at her side.

In the meantime, Qiu Yue was proud to announce that Amura Rei had officially entered into the System's database of minions. However, he was still being treated as a guest, and the System occasionally kept tabs on him to ensure that he was not being harassed by the Yakuza.

"Yeah, you better. That amount of money...could have been used in other places ..." Jin sighed as he said that but Qiu Yue flicked his forehead.

"Considering the amount of money, we are earning from the Dungeon Cave as well as the Tree Mall? We can earn that much profit back in around two days. Can you stop harbouring on it?" Qiu Yue furrowed her eyebrows.

Indeed, the Tree Mall was getting so popular that the store owners started having a difficult time coping with it. If not for Jin's introduction of monster helpers like the Penguins and Deep Ones, the owners would not be able to continue with the success they got for Day 1.

Jin also allowed the store owners to join other respectable delivery services and even the Pandafull delivery for a small monthly subscription fee. However, a disclaimer was placed on those food items in order to not misplace people's faith that it was Lynn's cooking.

Yet, people still buy from them. Some claimed that the food those stall owners cooked now had some spiritual power in it, making the dishes more palatable as well as revitalising. However, none of them could be compared to Lynn's new Grade 2 Dishes.

The Four Clawed Meat and the Horned Chicken Drumsticks.

Those were more expensive than the Grade 1 dishes by 1.5x times, but the taste was without a doubt extraordinary. To the point that the Pandafull service was packed to the brim with orders. Oh, and those cutleries that Jin had designed? They were selling like hotcakes too.

On the other hand, Zeru had finally apologised to Jin on what had happened and wondered if it was his …erm rude behaviour which made Jin throw such a tantrum that he did not let anybody to visit him at all cost.

"Obviously not! It was partly my fault for not bringing up this topic at a more opportune time. I am just busy with some System related tasks." Jin said nonchalantly that the only other person who knew about all of this was Pei and she was extremely adamant in keeping it this way.

She had utilised her strongest mental defences to a point that even Kraft had some trouble getting through at the first try. Yet, instead of being challenged, he figured Jin had his own reasons and gave him leeway for now.

"As for the Dungeon City Fortress, Industry Sector 1 to 5 have been completed. The Military Sector 1 to 3 requires a little more time but are still well within the estimated timeline. " Qiu Yue reported, and Jin could see in his phone app that the necessary infrastructures were up.

Depending on what kind of production they wished to go for, had yet to be concluded. Perhaps Jin might keep Sector 4 and 5 to be reserved for future development purposes.

"The foundation for Pand-Atlantis City are done so the installation reinforced glass domes should be completed within the week too. All that is left is the mass construction of homes. Home Sector 1 and 2 will be left for the ultra rich while Home Sector 3 to 10 can be for the rest with high rise condominiums and common luxurious facilities would be furnished as part of it. We have at least four more Dome sectors, but they are pending for future development." Qiu Yue added, and Jin suddenly realised something.

"Come to think of it, we…do not have any recreational stuff for the people in the Dungeon City Fortress."

"Well, we did only focus on the basics and self reliance was more important than recreational. Besides, we cannot expect the Dungeon World inhabitants to dungeon in our area, can we? We would be losing money rather than earning it." Qiu Yue brought up valid points and looked at Lynn.

"Then perhaps, it's time we look into some. Peps, give Qiu Yue some ideas since you are well read on the Dungeon World's culture. Maybe we can look into implementing some of those as well as our own recreational stuff." Jin suggested as he stood up and thanked Lynn for the food.

"Going back to your cave again?" Lynn asked as she folded her arms as she was both angry and worried what Jin's behaviour. He seemed more haggled than when he was making the shop instances for his Tree Mall, and if not for the extra care Lynn had put in her food to revitalise him, he might have been burned out.

"I promised I'll be done soon. After that, we can start to settle the outstanding stuff that we have." Jin smiled lightly as he teleported back to the Dungeon Maker.
