By midnight, Jin had used the System to transform a portion of the underground car park as a storage area. And to prevent any late night visitors going into the underground car park unannounced, he had set up a blockade to the third lowest level of the underground car park.
This was to make sure that when the storage trucks arrived, they could not only descend with ease but also unload the animals to the lowest floor while the second lowest floor was designated for a buffer area in case there were more trucks than expected or any uninvited 'guests'.
Considering how Jin's underground car park was limitless, the lowest level continued to change as per the amount of vehicles Jin's car park was holding. This was because Jin's Tree Mall boasted one of the lowest car park charges within the district and almost everyone in the vicinity had decided to park there to save cost.
Since Jin owns not only the land but also the entire mall. The technology and features used were basically the System's magic and its operating costs were nothing compared to the power grubber dimension instances. So, it was a tremendously popular car park spot for those drivers who were in the know.
Not to mention, the car park technology was incredibly amazing that all the drivers had to do was to be laid back and let the car park do the entire work for them. There was no need to parallel park or worry about getting a slot. Also, security wise, there had been zero incidents since its inception and that tremendously increased the popularity of the Tree Mall car park.
Jin had always felt car parks are a waste of space, and the System's magic in solving this particular problem was raking in a fair bit of money for the Tree Mall. Therefore, even with the car park's automated parking technology, Jin had to ensure there was no snooping by the Tree Mall customers or people who wish to see how low the car park can go.
But all those worries went to the next level when he finally saw the storage trucks arrive in several batches. Claire and Grandma Yuan were not kidding when they wanted Jin to make a full fledged Cultivation Zoo; the storage level he prepared was not enough and he had to either expand sidewards or downwards.
Thus, Jin purposely placed a brand new blockade at the supposed lowest floor in case there were more trucks coming in. "If only Claire gave me a clear indication of the number of trucks coming in… I do not have to worry so much!!!" Jin thought to himself as he told the truck driver leader that he was the person receiving the animals.
"What? Only you? Where are your zoo staff?" The transportation lead queried and suddenly he had a bad feeling that these animals they transported were to be auctioned in some way or another. The hunch was so bad, he was about to reach his phone to call his higher ups until a female voice echoed through the underground car park.
"Yes, only him. You guys can place the animal cages and exhibits at the side of this car park. His staff will handle the rest when you are gone."
"Ms Claire, I understand we have been company partners for quite some time, but this is breaking protocol to the extreme. Surely, you know that we have to bring the cages and exhibits right into the animal compound or any transport insurance would be considered nullified." The transportation lead reconfirmed her orders. "And some of the animal exhibits had to be in the right temperature and sufficient forestation. Judging from the shipping manifest, I see that these animals should not be kept-"
"Yea. I understand completely and you know this is not the first time we did this. Just place them there, he and I will settle the rest. Don't worry, I am not going to sell them or let them die here. Grandma Yuan spent way too much money keeping them under YOUR company's care to do something that silly." Claire interrupted him so that he does not have any other say in the matter.
"Fine, consider the transport insurance nullified. I will tell the rest to at least place them carefully." The transportation lead said before picking up his walkie talkie and gave further instructions.
"Sounds like they are very concerned with how we handle the animals." Jin folded his arms and saw the well kept pristine cages and glass exhibits being transported out of the storage trucks.
"Duh, as I said previously. Grandma Yuan really spent a fortune. You better not screw this up. Make sure that you not only have the best cultivation zoo instance but something that would go into the UNESCO heritage site or something in the future." Claire amped up her expectations of the Zoo which Jin had created.
"Don't you worry. I have seen the list of animals and the System ensured that they would be kept healthy, well fed and given lots of exercises." Jin replied as he heard a System ping, indicating that another batch of storage trucks was coming in. To his surprise, the coordination between each wave of trucks was very well coordinated even though Jin had his 'car park technology' on.
"So, what is this surprise you are talking about? And yeah, the zoo team too." Jin asked as he continued to watch the transport team handle the exhibits professionally.
"Oh, what a coincidence. The last storage truck is here." Claire said as she beckoned Jin to come forth.
"Madam." The transport driver somehow knew Claire intimately and immediately unlocked the storage doors when she approached. Jin hurried towards her side and when they opened the doors, a large black shadow dashed towards Jin without any fear of crushing him to bits.
"XIN!" Jin shouted and the mischievous panda playfully rubbed its cheeks and placed its entire weight on Jin happily. As it screeched with happiness, Jin scratched his underbelly and pulled its cheeks a little. A normal person would have suffocated to death but Jin, being a high grade cultivator, treated the panda like a small little puppy and returned its affection.
While suspicious of Jin initially, the remaining transport team saw how Xin played with their supposed client made them realise that perhaps this was not a shady deal at all.
