Chapter 1037: Teaching Lynn – Part 1
Number One Dungeon Supplier
However, knowing Jin, he would still be ignorant of Lynn’s advances. The Cook, therefore, decided to take some more drastic measures so that she could ensure that there would be some more time with just the two of them.
“I’d like to help you, especially with Grandma Yuan’s plans regarding the Cultivation Zoo. If possible, I would like to fiddle a little on Dungeon Making and subsequently create the Zoo,” Lynn requested boldly. Jin was quite taken aback by her initiative.
Although she had previously expressed her interest in dungeon making, Jin had thought it had just been to coddle his mood. Still, the dungeon supplier had taught her some of the basics, allowing her to revamp the Restaurant Train, but nothing too advanced that required some finesse in the dungeon maker options.
“I.. erm you sure? Aren’t you already overly busy with work with the penguins and creating even more dishes?” Jin wanted to avoid sounding chauvinistic, not wanting to sound as if he was claiming that women belonged in the kitchen. It was merely because that was her workroom given her specialisation.
“What happens if you get knocked out again like in the aftermath of the fight against King Baal? Who knows how long you will be unconscious the next time you get injured so badly?” Lynn stressed her point, now even more determined to learn his craft properly. “Fine, you can refuse, but I will just pester the System until it gives me a chance to create a dungeon instance.”
“Well… *sigh*, if you are so insistent about it, then fine. I mean I’ve already taught you some basics, so might as well teach you some more. Still, you have to understand that there’s a lot of trial and error involved. It will take time to get used to the Dungeon Maker options, although it is quite flexible in its options and settings, mostly limited to your own creativity.”
“If you’ve ever seen the source code normal dungeon suppliers are actually using, they have to have advanced programming knowledge as well as the know-hows of Dimensional Technology. Fortunately, we don’t have to bother with that.” The more Jin started to explain to Lynn, the more he started to appreciate the idea of having a helper. He had been so swarmed with so many projects recently, that he had vowed not to take on any more requests until he cleared out a bulk of them. (Although his minions and even the System very much doubted the success of his approach.)
“And you think as a chef, I am not familiar with such a method? A majority of my chef’s life had always been about trying out new things and taking out the wrong ones.” Lynn was clearly not delighted by the tone of his reply, but she knew that it was probably because he was more concerned about the shortage of time, or perhaps the quality of the cultivation zoo when it appeared.
Jin was able to notice Lynn’s displeasure (or maybe her aura of unhappiness was quietly oozing out of her.), so he quickly tried to salvage the situation. Unfortunately, he did not have any idea what she was annoyed about and decided to shoot in the dark, giving an answer generic enough, hoping that it could calm her mood now.
“Ehh! You do not have to worry much about it. If anything, you can simply ask the System for help, or me! Yes, me! I will come and assist you whenever I can as long as I am not stuck in some fight that I am unable to back out.” Jin replied hastily and somehow, that seemed to calm Lynn’s mood a little. However, that dungeon supplier despite having a girlfriend once, thought it was not enough to soothe her mood and decided to add more to the initial reply.
“The basic foundations of the Zoo Instance have been done by Yun already, and I have approved her changes, so I believe it should be okay for you to create your own version. if there are some flaws in the Zoo creation, we can always review it again. If you feel that it is not up to standard, there is the option to create a clone of the instance, an alternate dungeon phase where you could dabble more into the ‘what ifs’ and the System could offer suggestions where to cut cost or which portion could be improved. If you like some of the ‘what ifs’, the System can then add them into the original instance and you discard the rest. It is a rather simple but tedious phase of the creation of a new dungeon instance.” Jin offered a more explicit explanation but it made Lynn stare at him with one side of her eyebrow up.
“Not up to standard? So you think I’d give you some substandard results?” Lynn asked as a way to tease him since she felt that it was a good opportunity to bully Jin a little. After all, she honestly did not expect him to suddenly change his tune when she had subconsciously expressed her unhappiness. To a certain point, her heart had fluttered for a second to know that Jin picked up her slight change in emotions.
“I …Ehhhhh. Sorry, I honestly did not mean that.” Jin at that point realised that he got trapped in this particular conversation. So, he surrendered to maintain the relationship they had. Lynn chuckled at his reply and took the chance to grab his shoulder.
“Then you better make sure you teach me properly or else, you will only have yourself to blame for substandard results.” Lynn smiled and the System instantly opened the portal for them. (Naturally, the System would want this high potential love line to continue. If they could be together, the likelihood of Jin getting hitched would be high. Indeed the System very much approved of the idea of its current User getting hooked as soon as possible!)
But as Jin had said, the basic foundations of the Zoo had already been done up by him and subsequently by Yun. While Lynn was just a Sub System User and supposedly only to have permissions to things assigned to her, the System had decided to make an exception and gave her ‘User’ Rights to the Dungeon Maker console.
Jin was surprised that the System would give Lynn such a vast array of options when she booted up the Dungeon Maker Console. He thought that the System would want another person to be well versed in the Dungeon Making portion in case he was too busy to deal with it.
After all, the Dungeon Shop was still their priority business despite his ‘side businesses’ earning wayyyyy more money than the current one. To Jin, he found it a little ridiculous that he had powerful minions and vast cities under his belt just for the sake of a shop. But it also showed that when hard work produces results, the more you would want to do it because of the potentially favourable results in the far future, enabling you to put more energy into it.
And that was where his passion for Dungeon Making started to bloom and take shape. While it was a little late to say this but this was barely the beginning for Jin and his dungeon family.
