Chapter 1145 - Bringing In The Animals -Final -unedited

"Geh. You totally ripped off that name from the arcade game, didn't you?" Jin stared at her with a dull expression. "That Animal Kazier game where the players used unique animal cards to fight one another."

"Geh. How did you know about that game? You do not even look like the type who goes to the arcade that much." Claire's excitement got reduced to a plum just like the lion behind them. Xin was totally wrecking it by giving the Lion its fair taste of pain. Jin believed he had given Xin a little too much Maqi.

"There was a whole row of them in Shenzhen's Cultivation Zoo, do not tell me that's your doing? And also, the fight between Xin and that lion seems to be concluding." Jin said as he could see his Panda was already about to assert his dominance against the Lion by sitting on it. "Still, it's quite a surprise for me to see that he was able to use the skills in the cultivation manual."

"This is because of the Spiritual Union User and Panda Xin had entered previously. The recent contact between both of you played a part in that fight, as unfair as it would seem." The System stated.

"But I just gave him a little Maqi to boost his attack temporarily. Surely, it cannot be that significant, right?" Jin beckoned Xin to come towards him since the battle was far over. There was no need to insult the lion and his pack any further.

"Unfortunately, User's Maqi had drastically changed in quality from the recent cultivation grade up, causing your Maqi to be denser and of higher intensity despite your efforts to reduce it." The System added. "Hence, what you gave Panda Xin was not just a 'little' boost in his attack power, User had enabled it to grade up with the Maqi you gave and the Spiritual Union connection both of you possessed. The System did not expect this as all we wanted was a show of force from the Panda, learning what the Panda could be capable of."

"Oh… Oops. Sorry about that." Jin said and guessed what Ming and Genbu had told him was true. His Maqi output had increased tremendously after he woke up from his supposed slumber.

"No matter, with the forced grade up, the trust between Panda Xin and you should have increased and that bore well for User since the Panda himself could teach you new tricks as it grows in strength too." The System added before teleporting the Lion and its pack of lioness away from the grassland instance for immediate recuperation.

"Ah, speaking of recuperation. Do you still need a trained staff from the Zoo? I almost forgot that the System was around to do all the analysis crap that would render an experienced zoo team useless." Claire scratched her head, unsure what to tell the members whom she had recruited.

"Its okay, let them in. As per usual, indict them into the System's junior executive programme." Jin said as he pats Xin on his head before opening a teleportation portal for it to return to its assigned Zoo Plot.

"You sure? I thought you were previously adverse with more people knowing about the System. And furthermore, allowing them to be junior executives?" Claire wondered if Jin had too much Panda for a day that he was not thinking straight. It was rare for him not to use NPCs instead which he can trust without any problems.

"It's fine, the System had proven to be an unbreakable contract. Besides, it would be great to have a team of passionate members handling the Cultivation Zoo. They probably know what best for these animals and have contacts that would ensure that the exotic species could survive."

"The System is capable of doing that and even increasing their population." The System interrupted as if it would not allow itself to be beaten by a bunch of humans.

"Hahaha, you mean to let them mate? I guess with an everlasting loyalty contract even on the animals, they might as well listen to the System and get into the mood to have more babies." Claire approved of that idea.

"System, I am not saying you are bad or anything. You sometimes lack the humane touch despite you guys being humans centuries ago." Jin seems to strike a nerve and the System had decided to let its user take the win this time around.

"Very well. The System will ensure that they will know of their duties upon agreeing to the terms and conditions of a junior executive. The System however estimated that it would require only two zookeepers for its premise, preferably a male and female." The System placed its demands for the first time, probably acting as the sore loser against Jin.

"Four. Two female and two male staff." Claire gave a chi telepathy instead of using the System's channel and Jin decided to back her up. The System thought about it for a moment and decided to give in as it did not seem much harm taking in an additional two staff. (Since it was not much a dent to its expenses!) However, the System subsequently found out that Claire was not going to hire a team of fifty odd zoo keepers given the scope and extend of the Cultivation Zoo. Only that four which she suggested to Jin.

"Wait. Wait. Wait. When you said four. Did you mean our four Demon Exorcists?" Jin questioned since that was the only four he could think of.

"What? No. You think they are omnipotent in their knowledge? Rong would rather kill that lion and eat it for breakfast than feeding it meat." Claire laughed and told him not to worry about the Zookeepers for she would definitely introduce the four to him.

"But speaking of the four Demon Exorcists. I am serious, you should get them to fight the battles with you. It will benefit you in the future." Claire requested Jin once again and he reluctantly agreed on the spot.

"Fine, fine. Let's take a look at the Advanced Training Centre now that we finally deal with the Zoo." Jin said as he once more opened his portal so that the both of them could explore the new JODE advanced training centre.
