Chapter 126 Hunt or Fish?

It was roughly 6.30am in the morning when the taxi came and the ride to the zoo was a fairly long one. This gave Jin some time to expand on some previous ideas he had thought of.

He was giving thought on how he should deal with the Xiong Da's training plan. He already had a basic idea of what he would want to do.

He wanted to make Xiong Da eat… That was all there was to it! He wanted to make him eat. Since eating monster would allow for a spike in cultivation courtesy of the Hungry Hippo style, Jin thought that the best way for Xiong Da to improve over a short period of time was to stuff him with delicacies and monsters.

An eating competition would be interesting because he would get to see how Xiong Da would fare against his monsters but that would also mean that Xiong Da would realise that his monsters were sentient enough to listen to and comprehend human speech.

He even thought of capturing monsters that were similar to animals, like Mr Oink, and cut them up for a BBQ. However, Jin did not know how that would work out. The dungeon dimensional instances were supposed to act as a fake reality as compared to the service instances, which were meant to be fake to serve their intended purposes.

If Jin carried out the hunting part, did that mean that his monsters would be repeatedly killed and dissected? The accumulated experience of the monsters' several deaths might eventually break the minds of those sentient creatures of his.

"So I have to find something dumb enough to kill again and again but still smart enough to learn repeatedly so that my customers won't just pay for grinding." Jin thought to himself.

"To be honest, there are quite a number of creatures that fit your... criteria." Yun relayed her answer to Jin's mind.

"Example?" Jin asked in his thoughts and Yun said that most of his creatures were sentient so they had the potential to grow further.

"You could catch those wild monsters that do not think much, but if you managed to catch a variant creature that has reached the peak intelligence of their species, it would be perfect since they generally contain better spirit force in their meat. In fact, most creatures know that the world follows the simple law of eat or be eaten. The same applies to you when you step into their world." Yun explained to Jin.

"So Mr Oink is actually a variant creature of an already deviant variant of its natural species. That is why it seems as if it has a decent level of intelligence."

"Alrighty then, what worlds would you say fit my criteria?" Jin questioned

"If you want good food? I would say you should plant the crystal seeds you obtained in the Farm World and harvest them when they are ripe" Yun replied.

"You know I don't have time for that." Jin shook his head but at least he was facing his phone. So the taxi driver did not think anything was out of the ordinary.

"Then I guess the Hunting World or Fishing World would be the next best alternative," Yun suggested.

"What are the pros and cons of each world?" Jin later received an electronic information pamphlet on his phone from Yun and it showed the description of the two worlds.

"Oh...so I might have to hunt for days without rest to get a good catch in the hunting world." Jin analysed the two worlds. The Hunting World consisted of many different monsters with varying spirit force. But to catch them, you needed to find their tracks, and when you found them you needed to ambush them or fight them head on. Jin figured they might be good monsters for the dungeons or perhaps just decent ingredients for a tasty meal.

"The fishing world is probably what I will go for. Xiong Da needs quantity instead of quality, as per Zeru's recommendation. The fishing world has an abundance of fish that grow at a rapid rate so it will be easier to get a large quantity of fish with high spiritual powers." Jin deduced that the fishing world would be the best choice.

"But you need a ship or at least a boat to go into the deeper parts of the endless oceans," Yun told him as she automatically opened a section of the information pamphlet to show Jin that she was not playing around with him.

"A ship to haul and store the fishes as well as to protect ourselves from the vicious weather? It can even fly so you can perform sky fishing?" Jin was dumbfounded by it. "So you mean I have to buy a ship?"

"Actually, you do not have to at this particular point in time but if you do want to catch fish with large spiritual forces, you will need a ship. Besides, I am already thinking in advance to the time when you would need to create a new service instance." Jin could hear that Yun's voice was a little condescending when he thought of something innovative.

Yes, upon seeing the potential of the fishing world, Jin wished to create a Fishing Service Instance on the third floor. With the dimensional space's power of time dilation, he hoped it would attract some fishing enthusiasts as well as some of the older population to spend money in his store.

"But you should really do something to advertise the third floor. The Muscles is such an extensive gym facility and yet practically no one is using it." Yun presented Jin with her feedback.

"Perhaps I should package it with the dungeons… Wait! Speaking of dungeons, I forgot to ask you, but what is the status of the Qixi Festival Dungeon? You initially said that the tickets were for future use, but at this rate, people might start to think that it was a scam from the Loot Box Machine." Jin continued to ask Yun.

"The Qixi Festival Dungeon is a system made themed dungeon, do you wish to change it in any way? Or else, I can just give you the rights to the dungeon and you can publish it immediately." Yun gave a nonchalant answer.

"That's it?" Jin was a little taken aback by Yun's response.

"Yes, that's it. The next themed dungeon by the system will be the Halloween one." Yun sent him the details of when the Halloween dungeon would appear as a reward in the loot box machine.

"Okay, I am now curious. Why is the system giving out these dungeons for free? How about the monsters in them?" Jin looked at the details of the Qixi Dungeon that was sent to his mailbox.

"You have to take care of the monsters' well being, so technically, it isn't free in that sense. But if you really want to know the reason, there really isn't any. The most likely reason is that the system wants to celebrate these events. Besides, you are too slow with your capturing of monsters." Yun digressed a little.

"I realised that the cost of housing all the monsters have inevitably increased with the new Qixi Festival dungeon." Jin rested his head on the back seat of the taxi and sighed as he looked out through the window. It looked like he would be reaching the zoo soon.

"Then consider the gift from the system both a boon and a blight." Yun did not care much about Jin's whining.

"In any case, I should take a look at the Qixi festival dungeon when I am back in the store." Jin looked out of the window to appreciate the scenery for a while.

"Just remember to look around the zoo for any cultivation that might be suitable for Zhen Qing too if you want her to work longer and more efficiently." Yun gave her last piece of advice before she became silent.

The taxi was reaching the zoo's entrance and Jin thought of bringing his bellators with him around the zoo since this could be one of the only few times they were out of the shopping district. Maybe Zeru had seen it before, but hey, it could have been many years since he last entered the zoo.

"Mister, we have arrived. Payment via Mechat?" The taxi driver asked and Jin paid with his phone before stepping out of the taxi.

"Yeap, I am definitely bringing those rascals out for a walk." Jin laughed bitterly as he noticed a number of cultivators amassing this early in the morning just to visit the zoo.
