"It's done. It's finally done…." Jin heaved out a heavy sigh of relief as he lied back on his chair, slouching as much as his body could possibly handle. His eyes were white and if one could detect spirits, they might see Jin's spiritual form flying out of his own mouth.
However, the System was not willing to let him go just yet. No matter how tired he was, the show still had to go on and the next thing on the agenda was the Demopolis City Raids.
"Well done, Master. You did take quite a while with this one." Kraft berated him as he took the opportunity to spin Jin's chair, causing him to slip out from it and nearly fall flat on the ground.
"The System had too many backend processes that it took almost forever to make sure that it's in sync with the Demopolis Dungeon Core," Jin said as he merely leaned onto the Dungeon Console Maker and started yawning, causing Kraft to instinctively move aside, in case Jin would try to take revenge by shooting Panda Yawning at him.
"Even I have to be aware of your yawns. You can be a very dangerous cultivator, Jin." Kraft pointed out and this time Jin was the one smirking.
"Somehow I feel like after suffering through all of this constant admin work, I might have gained enough experience to reach the next grade." Jin mentioned jokingly but Kraft took it at heart and started to check if there were any real gradual changes happening to Jin.
At least for now, his aura still felt the same.
"I bet you cannot see the difference, eh?" Jin smiled as if he was hiding yet another trump card from Kraft and the Devil Fox enjoyed the excitement. Be it just a bluff, Kraft wouldn't mind a duel with Jin to fully explore the powers of his new grade.
However, Jin was not lying. During this stretch of creating the Demopolis City Raids, he had to go through a series of super time compression sleeps in order to keep to the datelines he set for himself. In fact, it was actually Kiyu who had sabotaged him by releasing a random date at the end of February during the trailer for the Demopolis City Raids.
And that caused a great frenzy for Jin mainly because of another event that most Dungeon Suppliers would have neglected because they felt it was not necessary for them to even participate. And that was Valentine's Day. While Jin did not exactly create a brand new dungeon for Valentine's day because of the lack of time, he did digress his usual work to catch this opportunity to earn some extra money.
Furthermore, that required the help of Lynn since the food and beverage industry was one of the major business players when it comes to the festival of love. Even though Lynn had to juggle between the promise of improving the Cultivation Zoo and handling her daily work, she actually had adequate experience for this particular day from her past job. So much so that she did not mind being one of the lead planners to aid Jin in earning money.
From creating a Pandastic Hotel Valentine Package to arranging a one-on-one date with your precious partner, she had already used all the shrewd techniques she had once learnt from her former sensei to take advantage of the current situation.
As for her own love life, Lynn knew that it was a little hard to catch Jin's attention at the moment since he was swarmed with self imposed deadlines and many other issues to handle. Still, that did not mean she had not attempted to hint to Jin at her own desire for a date with a certain dungeon supplier.
Sadly, nothing happened between them as Jin was locked in a perpetual state of busyness which even the System could not deny the amount of workload to make sure that the Demopolis citizens were well taken care of while ensuring the eventual raid would have a high chance of success.
Ultimately, Lynn managed to get Jin to reward her with a pricey dinner outside of the dungeon store because of the work she had done for him. (Which was actually quite tremendous, considering the amount of profits being raked in on that particular week.)
Infamous Hippo Pandawan Xiong Da and Egret Pandawan Ruo Ying had taken the priciest of all packages and did not regret a single bit. They received a one night staycation which covered essentially everything which made Xiong Da feel like he was on a holiday without even thinking too much. (Well, that was the purpose of the itinerary.)
Checking in from noon, they found out that the Store Instance had been heavily revamped to portray Valentine's Day mood. From all sizes of Cupid Panda flying around the shop instance to a secluded panda couple getting lucky in the Bamboo Forests, it was tolerable for singles who still wanted to continue their dungeoneering experience.
Not only that, Xiong Da and Ruo Ying had activities all day long such as a mini game roulette in the WunderPanda Theme Park and an exclusive Restaurant Train Trip around a few selected islands in the Open World Instance. (Although they had no idea it was going to be open to them in the future when the Virtual Reality Network comes online.)
After which, a dinner within the Restaurant Train itself with the beauty of Aurora lights shining under them. Even though they knew it was just a Dungeon Instance, the realism of it was still something to behold. And not to mention, a special couple spa session by the Panda Masseur from the Emerald Mountain Hot Spring Instance before leaving them some privacy in Hotel Pandastic's most luxurious suites.
And to top it off, Xiong Da was bestowed with a bouquet of purple shaded roses with a unique set of Panda Cupid plushies to seal the deal for the night. Even though it might seem a little too simple, the amount of organisation the System and Lynn had to deal with was a nightmare. Moreover, Jin knew that too well so his promise to bring Lynn out for dinner had been a must.
But for now, it had to deal with the Mafias.
