As Jin continued his eternal struggle against the ghosts of his own, Lynn decided to pick up what Jin had left her. She initially wanted to have a nice little supper, tease Jin for not accepting her and go to sleep.
Plain as that.
Little did she know just a simple supper and some additional teasing caused the entire situation to escalate so quickly into a relationship. Even she felt that this was a dream and believed falling asleep instantly might possibly cause it to disappear. Neither did she want to pinch herself to know it was true. That gentle hug at the end of the conversation was sweet of Jin, warming her weary heart now that she knows he was finally hers.
"I would be lying if I could sleep properly later." Lynn thought to herself as she felt that she had finally completed a long term goal. However, she too understood that the start of the relationship was merely the end of a 'single' race and the start of another with Jin. Whether she could keep him or not was another issue entirely.
But for Jin to immediately give Lynn one of his responsibilities before popping into cultivation was a little rude of him. "Just a hug and you give me such an important task?" Lynn said to herself with a bit of pouting. However, at the same time, she could not help that it was his way of showing his trust since he had always been doing his things all by himself despite the amount of help available around him.
"Perhaps I will do it this one time and if he wants me to do something this important in the future, I would probably ask for something selfish too!" Lynn said to herself, psyching herself up for the task.
"The System believed this would be a good time killer so that it would tire you for the night. Currently, the System has detected extremely high levels of adrenaline presumably due to the influx of your current emotions. And this task has a high chance of stabilising said levels." The System reported and Lynn merely rolled her eyes at the System's poor excuse.
Regardless, she was also curious whether Jin was correct despite his overly cautious attitude. The Banned Emperor had frequently been in the highlights for quite some time and Jin clashing with them somehow did not feel like it was just a coincidence. Yet, she was no expert in any of this and thus the next best thing she could do was to contact a very special somebody which she knew would be greatly indebted to her.
Kong Rong. Mr Know It All.
A text message asking for help was more than enough to get the special agent to instantly call within the minute, questioning Lynn whether she was in danger.
"No, Kong Rong. I am not but I will be if you do not help me." Lynn said in such a serious tone that it almost caught Kong Rong into sending agents to her location immediately. After all, the protection bubble of the Royal Panda Clan was in effect and the Royal Zodiac Dragon Clan, particularly the people under Kong Rong and his grandmother, would enact this rule earnestly. Lynn subsequently explained the situation to the special agent and he was actually elated that Jin took a serious stance on the issue of a backup site.
"I will get my agents to take a look at it. I trust the System will do its own analytics as well? Then perhaps in the morning, we would be able to compare and exchange notes?"
"You get your employees to assess stuff this late in the night- or erm early morning?" Lynn felt concerned that she was giving more work to the special agents' lackeys.
"Nah, do not worry about it. They are trained to work 24 hours round the clock and are adequately compensated for their duties." Kong Rong calmed Lynn down.
"Hmm nono. That's unfair to them if they have such a workload. How about this? Those who are able to find something, I treat them to a meal of their choice?" Lynn said and Kong Rong laughed out loud.
"Guys, did you get to hear my conversation with Lynn? From the famous restaurant instance in Jin's supplier store?" Kong Rong asked and suddenly Lynn heard a massive crowd shouting and cheering at the Chef's generosity.
"I guess, a morning deadline would be way too much slack for these guys." Kong Rong chuckled and said he would send a text to her once the deed was done. Lynn thanked him profusely before heading to the Dungeon Maker to do her research too.
The System had already laid out the necessary groundwork for Lynn to explore but reinforced that making connections right now with the available material would be mere speculations. "The System now thinks that Sub System User Lynn should leave this to the experts while the System would try to dig a bit more if there are any possible Banned Emperor involvements."
"Then what can I do?" Lynn questioned thinking that she accidentally pushed the duty she received from Jin to other people.
"User had taught you how to use the Dungeon Maker and you even did adjustments for the Cultivation Zoo before the User took it over entirely due to time constraint. Thus, the System would leave you the responsibility of creating an instance in the event that the backup site would indeed be needed for the Symposium." The System stated and clarified Lynn's thinking that there was nothing else to be done.
"Should I erm… add defence back up in the event that the Symposium is still a go-ahead and we encounter trouble?" Lynn questioned while praying that she did not trigger some sort of fortune telling checkpoint for it to come true.
"Focus on the basics. The additional situational support systems can be added at a later date when the foundation of the instance has been put in place." The System told Lynn not to worry and go ahead with the creation of the backup site.. "Make the User proud with your personal design."
