"Do you think that I have time to handle and enter the Martial Artist Competition?" Jin loled as he was reminded of the offer that the Royal Zodiac Clan Heads offered, especially the Tiger Dad who wanted Jin to show the world what he was capable of.
"Considering that you had already made sure that there are other dungeon instances ready, the System does not see it as a problem for you to join. Increasing popularity would also in turn increase the popularity of the Dungeon Supplier store."
"For the System to forget that there is still the expansion problem at hand? Is this truly the System that I know about?" Jin asked and the System kept quiet for a while before replying.
"The System had a priority ranking on the issues at hand. And the priority to enter the competition is the same as the priority of dealing with the expansion problem that you have created." The System stated as a matter of fact.
"So the possible advantages and rewards that I may get is roughly the same for both sides? Is that what you meant?"
"Yes, the short term advantages of getting first place in the Martial Artist Competition would outshine the current expansion that you are about to develop. By doing so, User will prove to the world there there is truly one major capable cultivator that the countries should be wary of.
The System theorised that your name and store would be more attractive when it comes to the expansion that you wished for. There is also a possibility that User might earn more money and also get the original Shanghai basement that you wish for on a whim."
"Lol, you still think I am grumpy or a little bitter for that particular case?"
"According to the System records and analysis, the User did put in a lot of effort in creating ideas for the basement as compared to the expansion land bought from the famous shopping street as well as the underdeveloped region in Beijing Province."
"Are you like...kind of erm dissing me for not stating the names of those expansions?"
"The System is reflecting the same kind of attitude back to the User. There is no ill will replying back to the User. The System is merely informing and making the User aware of the portrayal of himself towards the expansions compared to the basement that he initially wished for."
After all, it was mainly due to Kiyu's aid in the making of the proposal that allowed Qiu Yue to get those slots. While there were no doubt some connections involved, considering Ma Ge from the Royal Horse Zodiac Clan to pull some strings, it was ultimately the effort shown by Qiu Yue and Kiyu that paved the way for this proposal to be feasible.
They were merely using the connections that Jin had to break through in the industry.
Who knows? Maybe Kiyu is able to create a short film or even drama series which she could use to get the Dungeon Supplier to be all the more popular. After all, the dungeon instance can create anything realistically and the System is able to produce makeshift items and buy items from the multiverse black market if it is long term.
Regardless, Jin wants to breakthrough and diversify. If he could go into the television and film industry, there would be money to be earned and with the number of minions that he has under his care. He could easily create war films be it historical fiction, science fiction or even fiction stories extremely easily. That was why one of the reasons why he had a partnership with Rei.
"Ah, speaking of Rei, I should go get some information about the movie that he was making...or I could just ask the System." Jin indirectly looked at his electronic hologram to get more direct information. (If the System had a face, he would probably be staring at him all day long.)
"Rei had yet to make his movie. The System believed that he had stumbled on something difficult to produce especially when the studio is having a strike because of the amount of money they were being paid."
"Then erm pay them more? What's the issue with that? I thought we had more than enough a budget."
"The staff mentioned were the actors. Rei had decided to do a live action sequence compared to a 3D animated production considering the fact that they were able to use the Supa Robo Wars as the backdrop."
"Wait what? Since where did this change occur?"
"Since when you were not in this world."
"So he is hoping that some A grade actor would live up to the hype of the studio?"
"Exactly." The System stated and told Jin that they needed more than just a few millions in their bank account if they would want to make a live action movie starring actual moving robots.
