Number One Dungeon Supplier
chapter-528

The Squad idea had been on Jin's mind for a very long time, but there hadn't been a right time to implement it up until now. He had discussed it with the System, and it had countered they were for not ready stating a lack of resources.

The System also wished to stop Jin from reducing the profits when he planned for the extreme reduction of prices until its predictive analysis had concluded that the profit margin in the next two months should be able to rival what they had earned in their past few months or even more.

Unlike when he first started out, Jin no longer dealt with just dungeons. Even though they were supposed to be the bulk of the profit for the shop, the dungeon supplier had expanded sidewards so people would not find his main attraction to be exorbitantly expensive.

From food, weapons, clothing and vulneraries, everything would be used to supplement the reduced cost of the dungeon entrance, especially since his main customers were entering the dungeons with an increased cultivation grade.

Higher cultivation grade meant the dungeons were programmed to be harder despite the same cost of entry. While the conditions to enter the dungeons were the same, staying and thriving within the dungeon would require the cultivators tp spend more on better grade weapons, more inscriptions and perhaps even one time magical scrolls which Jin had recently added into his stores.

In terms of food, Lynn was also preparing a road map for both her penguins and her restaurant. As she increased her cultivation grade, the Sub System began to release certain food recipes that included grade requirement.

For example, the current dishes such as Chashu Ramen in Red Snapper Broth and Tonkatsu Curry Rice were marked as Grade 1 Food by the Sub System. It was useful in regaining chi and spiritual power from a day's worth of work, but the attributes it granted were considered minor.

That was why the Sub System had the Giant World in mind from the start. If they were able to tame the animals from that world and train them in such a way to have cultivation similar to the animals they had on Earth, they could start an extraterrestrial Cultivation Zoo (or Demon Cultivation Zoo) as well as getting better food quality.

However, in that aspect, it seemed like one of Half Ghoul Lord Derek's experiments was also going in that direction. The evolved zombie was keen on fusing food and monsters together, creating an abomination of food monster that would provide way stronger quality of food. He felt that he had been limited by his class restriction to truly create a sentient monster after all the experiments he had done.

So, he had decided to work backwards and began by fusing living creatures with various items. He initially thought of using mechatronics, by utilising the abundant Steam Tech parts which the System collected, but that had been beyond his expertise before Weslie entered the System.

Hence, he decided to try combining both food and monsters together in an attempt to fuse different sort of food with body parts together. Derek's sole purpose was the idea of augmentation, and if it worked, it would definitely bring much profit to Lynn and Jin.

On a separate note, the Dungeon City Fortress was not all red in Jin's financial accounts. (Well, it's still red, just a lighter shade of red than before.) When the store owners of the Tiangong Tree Mall began to demand more of the quality food stocks from Jin, he was able to earn some money from selling the stockpile of agriculture goods the city had harvested through the use of the System's Temporal Manipulation.

Considering that the seeds were cheap, and the effort to farm those were minimal with the aid of modified Farming Sandroku golems, the profit was tremendous. (Yeah, the Orcs managed to customise the Sandroku Golems into various sectors. Construction, Farming, Transportation etc. It had slowly turned into a core part of the Dungeon City Fortress that both Orcs and Goblins wished to own.)

Oh, not to mention the secret oil plants that the System managed to obtain from the Farming World. What had been treated as garbage by Gold previously, became the most valuable and profitable plot of land that the Werejackals were sitting on.

Instead of expanding their home instance, the System opened up a new dimensional instance and instructed the Werejackals to take great care of the oil fields. In return, the System points awarded to those guarding werejackals became extremely enticing for the farming duty rotation.

Jin contacted Panda Remnant Hou Fei, and together with the System, they started to sell these oil barrels to various companies and even countries. As it turned out, that old snake had multiple connections that brought massive profit for Jin. Even Kraft applauded Hou Fei for being nearly as resourceful as him.

Bloody or clean money, Jin did not care.

As long as nothing could be traced back to them, Jin was satisfied. The dungeon supplier considered this to be a short term plan as he believed that if he could travel to other worlds, and with the access to an interworld black market, there was definitely a way to import clean energy for his country to use in the future.

If they wished to remain a step ahead in future developments compared to other countries, Jin was able to contribute to his country. Therefore, what he was working on with Ke Loong was vital, and the portal start up must be successful enough to skyrocket Ke Loong's company to be a leading giant in the transportation industry. That way with money, prestige and power, they can push their ideals to the country.

All these improvements for what?

For the sake of becoming the Number One Dungeon Supplier in his world. The portals would eventually bring him the numbers to his business. The clean energy he thought of would also reduce the energy intake his instances were using. (If one were to see his electrical bills...)

Does Jin wants to be famous to become the Number One Dungeon Supplier? Not necessarily. All he wanted was to be number one so that he could spread his joy of dungeoneering to the world. And if in the process, Jin was able to make the world a better place, why not?

Despite all these new goals in mind, Jin knew that it would not be all roses and the Ruby Rat Triad was merely the first stepping stone on his way to his desired future.

He didn't doubt that there would be other people who would be vying his technology, for his secret methods in getting all his research up and yet he would not give up on making the world a better place.

The System's previous revenge plot was petty compared to this dream that Jin had. If they could accomplish it, they would possibly be remembered in history. Not as the ones who had been bested by the Jade Emperor, but as the ones who had risen from the ashes and helped guide the world to a brighter future.

But for now, Jin would not get ahead of himself as he knew the hard effort for such grand goals was created with every step. And speaking of dungeons, the Dungeon Cave was one of his new plans when the System conversed with him previously.

Why settle on being the Number One Dungeon Supplier on Earth when he could become the Number One Dungeon Supplier on every world he would come to visit?
