Chapter 274 Original System

With little time to spare, Jin quickly returned to the Dungeon Maker and started to prepare the Restaurant instance. It was not a big deal connecting the instances especially when the shop is now a dimensional instance, but he did miss the days where he could visibly see a noticeable upgrade to his shop whenever he added a new instance.

"Not to worry. When you complete this month's sales mission, you will get your other 0.5 level. After which you are able to integrate with the other few floors." Yun said in his thoughts before coming into the Dungeon Maker.

"I've never seen Lynn this happy since the day she stepped into the store. What kind of magic did you pull?" Yun asked Jin casually as he prepared the System Interface to create the Restaurant Service Instance.

"I didn't do much. My bellator did most of the job." Jin replied as he remembered how he used Kraft to influence both Lynn's father and Yamazaki.

"That bellator Kraft? Well, I honestly did not expect you to obtain a bellator from the Original System." Yun said.

"Original System?" This was the first time Jin heard of this.

"The first batch of bellators to be exact. The System improved over time, and as generations passed by, it recruited potential bellators through the years too. For example, the System did not have the power to traverse through other worlds until recently due to a contribution of a certain bellator. We use the term Original System Bellators as to establish and recognise the efforts of the first batch of bellators for surviving the assaults from the Jade Emperor." Yun explained.

"This means that older bellators tend to have more experience under their belt than newer bellators like Peppers and Milk. They have acquired stronger abilities from past encounters. However, the System does not give the User access to every Bellator. Neither do I have the reason for the System not doing so." Yun reinforced her explanation.

"Kraft is that old?" It was then Jin felt an evil stare through his subconscious, ready to tear him apart.

"…Sorry I was out of line. I apologise." Jin quickly begged for forgiveness in his thoughts, but Kraft did not reply back. At the very least, the stare was gone.

"Also, where did you find Kraft? The last I heard was that he disappeared alongside Ming and I have not received any notification from the System that you were acquainted with Kraft." Yun questioned Jin.

"I had no idea, when I was cultivating, he suddenly appeared. That deep trance thing, you remember?" Jin tried to play dumb while telling half truths.

"Huh…maybe Ming's efforts while compiling your new manual had some traces of Kraft in it. Maybe he felt your existence with the System, which made him reappear." Yun accepted it without question.

"Did it happen with other bellators in the past? So this is nothing too unusual?" Jin probed Yun for some more information.

"Yeah, I guess. These bellators, especially from the Original System batch are a bunch of picky individuals though most of them still contributed greatly to the current System. For example, most of the methods used by the System in regards to mind manipulation are Kraft's designs if I remember correctly. In any case, I suppose I should tell you the powers of the Sub System that Lynn possesses. To be honest, I would rather let you discover it yourself." Yun was a bit hesitant, and Jin waited patiently for her answer.

"But I guess telling you now would be equally beneficial too. Maybe, then you might do a better job creating the new restaurant service instance." Yun sighed a bit as she placed her hand on the interface of the Dungeon Maker and something else started up instead of Jin's Dungeon Making Interface.

"But I am still not giving her any clue. She will need to experiment with her powers herself. This was the instruction the System gave me which I have no qualms obeying." Yun added as she released her hand after the interface completed. It appeared to be a replica of the Penguin Food Bazaar app that Lynn had in her flip phone.

"Although the current kitchen instance boasts a variety of food, they are after all, types of food which can be found in this world. What the Penguin Food Bazaar app allows her to do, is to purchase a variety of food foreign to this world. In short, from other dimensions." Yun said.

"Oh yeah…you did say that the onigiri, curry rice and other food unlocked from the System was from other worlds." Jin had nearly forgotten about that fact.

"So what she has now is access to ingredients that were used in those food items that were unlocked previously from your store. The Bazaar penguins know the food recipes hence it is not an issue. They can create those food items at any time. But with Lynn's emotion cooking and all new sub system…hmm hmm hahaha." Yun initially smirked before she began to laugh.

"What? why?" Jin was a bit confused by Yun's sudden hysterical laugh.

"She can now imbue food with power, giving them all sorts of boosts. That is the ability of her sub system." Yun answered, and Jin was in a shock.

"You mean…her food can improve a person's stats? Isn't that OP cheating in real life?!" Jin exclaimed at the thought of it.

"Hahaha! No, not yet. Her powers have not reached that kind of standard yet and are currently far from it. Right now, her ability simply allows you, your cultivators and even your monsters to have a temporary increase in stats for a short period of time." Yun replied.

"Oh gosh, does that mean I can create even more crazy dungeons?" Jin's mind started to race, with all the possibilities. It may be time to call Qiu Yue, for some brainstorming.

"More like your monsters do not have to hold back and will be able to fight with their best," Yun answered with a smile of confidence.

"Hmm yeah, that is true. They sometimes have to hold their attacks back so much that they make it too easy for cultivators." Jin remembered that was one of the main complaints he received when he visited his monsters for a weekly 'town council' meeting. Shortly after conquering Moloch's Dungeon Core, Jin introduced those meetings, where he met with representatives of his monsters and asked if they had any issues with their current homes, workload etc. They complained that the cultivators were too weak and they could have killed them in one stroke. Only a bunch of them managed to keep up with their attacks, and those cultivators were usually the first few to clear the dungeons.

"Think of it this way. They are learning control." Yun tried to look at this problem from another perspective.

"True, but this will dull their fighting capabilities, and they may eventually underestimate the future opponents." Jin rebutted.

"That is true too. Then I guess Lynn better buck up and serve up good food with terrific stats boosting!" Yun nodded her head and started to leave Jin to his work on the Restaurant Instance. Yun also told Jin that she would open the store up first and help him look after it until he was done with the new service instance.

"Hmm. Should I impose a fee for the Restaurant Instance or not…" Jin contemplated hard and long, but there were no concepts that seemed original. He even searched the web on the Dungeon Maker Interface for some time before he began constructing the necessary drafts, but it was to no avail.

"Maybe, I should take a train to a nearby food bazaar and have some real life inspiration…" Suddenly, an idea emerged when he thought about the Food Bazaar and he began looking at the web for design references.

"Hehe, looks like this could be a decent idea after all! I can even impose a nice fee if done correctly!" Jin fiddled with the interface as he zoned out, creating the all new restaurant service instance.
