"This Kraft… When it comes to devious plans, he really knows how to put things into action." Jin said and Rex could not help to have a devious smile on his face.
"That is how we were able to survive long as sworn brothers," Rex said and asked if Jin wanted to send more people into the fray.
"Nah, let him have his fun. I had a feeling he was already giving me a lot of chances when I duelled with him but it allowed me to see a fraction of his powers. So, I am guessing that this current raid was a way to let him blow his top a little."
"You are not wrong but you are not right either if you think that he has only shown you a fraction of his powers," Rex remarked and Jin raised his eyebrows.
"What? No way. If I can handle some of that, it is definitely because he has not been trying hard enough." Jin found Rex's comments somewhat odd.
"Nope. I am not kidding you. While it was true he was not using his fullest extent of his powers, there were certain moments during that battle that his bloodlust was on point. He was raging hard against you without leaving any quarters. Perhaps it was his rage that blinded him but nonetheless, it would be an insult to say that he did not fully immerse himself in the fight." Rex explained. "Jin, As a System User, you have grown relatively strong and without a doubt, there are still a lot more ways to grow."
"I assume there is a but." Jin cheekily added in and Rex nodded his head seriously.
"But, as you already know, there is no way you can do things all by yourself. Even my management of the Demopolis is subpar without the System's aid. I would not say by the power of friendship, you will triumph against all because that's bullshit. However, by the power of an elite group of talented people and friendship, would do well against what the multiverse prepared for us." Rex said as he laid back a little and looked at Jin to his eyes.
"Keep growing Jin. You will make new enemies which would ultimately be your greatest allies." Rex stated and suddenly that made Jin remember something very important.
"System. If Rex praised me a little, is it okay to release one of those 'forbidden' minions that we had captured previously?" Jin queried and the System proceeded in analysing the possibilities.
"Diabolos is not available despite your new cultivation grade but for Maeve, the fae princess. That might be a possibility. Unfortunately, the System is currently too swarmed with processes to even have the time to properly disengage the locks." The System said and Jin's face turned sour.
"Is it because you are currently using her as part of your processing capabilities," Jin questioned and the System did not answer…which meant it was a yes. Thus, the Dungeon Supplier decided to switch the subject and thank Rex for his aged advice. In the meantime, he also procured certain information from Rex since Demopolis had Pandapolis' military stronghold. And by stronghold, what Jin actually meant was that it had become a place where factories, research and production of military goods were coming from Demopolis after the huge revamp.
Some of the demon workers who had basic work experience in Pandapolis were slowly returning to their homes and found out that their places had been upgraded much. There were no more slums and high rise buildings were in every street and corner. As for the richer noble demons, they were allowed a slightly bigger house to themselves but it was limited to how much they were going to contribute back to society. (Either in terms of personal wealth or expertise.)
Those who were previously relying only on titles and inherited wealth were forced to rethink their way of life. Either they start picking up managerial skills or off they go to the frontlines where they have to stand side by side with the workers to get the job done. This was because Rex had no need for that many useless nobles lazing around in Jin's new empire.
Thus most of them had decided to take up educational courses so that they could be of certain help to assist the rest of the foxes who were revamping the city's policies now that Jin had ensured that this city focuses solely on military stuff.
As for Pandapolis, some of the factories were already in use for the Virtual Reality Headsets while the rest were used for contracts taken in Jin's world. Also, the production of processed food required factory space as well so it took quite a chunk of space but other than that, the rest of the industrial area was allocated to the research and development team where Jin's orcs and goblins were reverse engineering stuff.
It could have been done in Demopolis but production mattered more in that area since the research done in Demopolis was more of the practical application like live firing exercises as such because of the vast areas the city once possessed.
Pandapolis on the other hand did the delicate building and invention of items. For example, the Flying Fortress which Rex had captured had been analysed by Rei and was reverse engineered in Pandapolis. They were going to that as a base to create those spaceships which would be used to transverse the Mecha World's universe. (Also, it was mainly because some of Jin's Science and Research Team felt that the space allocated to them had already been bogged down by too many projects from Ayse and Weslie.)
Not to mention, the Orcs and Goblins were still continuously improving their Golems to the point that Jin somehow felt that they were like mechanised robots which could be viable as a limited event in the Supa Robot Wars. (Those demihumans were also snatching ideas from the cultivators who played the Supa Robot Wars and shamelessly applying the players' designs to their current golems.)
Only when Jin confirmed with Rex the state of Demopolis, he returned to his Dungeon Maker to make a few more chances before officially opening up the Cultivation Zoo Instance to the public.
