The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary Chapter 1087

Chapter 818 Exploiting the Intern

For the next few days, Jin stuck himself within the Dungeon Maker and was working on multiple projects, yet he made sure to take the time for their daily dinners. As directed by Grandma Yuan, Lynn had further fleshed out the counter attack proposal for Jin to look over while Qiu Yue had begun constructing prefabricated buildings in the open spaces of Pandapolis.

Meanwhile, Claire had finally looked over Jin's accounts with the help of the Sub System and realised that his money and spending was all over the place. Thankfully, the System had all the records of expenses, and all she had to do was to organise them properly and accurately.

With the aid of the Sub System which Claire had been loaned once more, she was able to create a database. But this time, she ensured that even without her help, the System would be able to track the data in a streamlined fashion and could show it to Jin and his Sub System User so they might immediately notice any discrepancies.

"System feels the organisation of expenses is useless. As long as there are records of the expenses, the System will know how much User is earning." The System stated to Claire as she had received an office in the Pandapolis Business Sector to do her job.

"Whatever. It might not matter to you, but we humans just cannot process data like that. Also, I have been wondering. Am I the only one here in this Business Sector?" Claire asked, and the System acknowledged her by showing a celebration emote on her screen.

"…"

"You are the first to use the Business Sector. It will eventually be used to house the banking, logistics and other administrative purposes. User and Sub System User Qiu Yue planned to make an internal stock market for the Pandarens to play with. But right now, it is closed because there are no tenants." The System explained.

"No, I wanted to what those digital poppers were for?" Claire asked as she adjusted her spectacles.

"System has given Sub System Intern Claire the honours of being the first person in operation in this desolated business sector." System answered, and Claire felt pressing her head on the table. She did not expect the System to be this cold in its jokes.

"Argghh. System, if this is your sense of humour, please keep it to yourself. It is very dry."

"Or so they say in a cold setting." The System stated, and Claire ignored it to her best of the ability although it seemed to be getting on her nerves.

"Anyways, I realised what you were up to when you gave me the app to practice. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction."

"Glad to be of assistance. System also determined that Intern Claire had improved by 12.7% when she subtly purchased potential stocks that would greatly assist the relief fund."

"We just need to wait a day or two before we sell them. They are volatile enough to flip while earning enough profit." Claire was happy with the purchase as the Sub System provided her sufficient information and analysis on those particular units.

"Since you have finished the work, System recommends creating accounts for the New Adventurer's Town and the Demon Metropolis. The New Adventurer's Town needs a new bank that will moderate the gold coming in from the three major cities."

"If I am not mistaken, their currency is rather standard, right?"

"Affirmative. Despite their differences, the three races are using the same kind of currency. While the gold coins have a variety of imprints depending on the cities they were made from, the coin makes no discrimination when it is being used."

"So, are we making our very own coin? Or continue as per standard as the major trading town for the New Adventurer's Town?" Claire asked.

"System recommends the following suit, but their financing system is primitive. System's opinion is to start introducing loans, interest rates, as well as insurance to the public to increase our profitability. Eventually, when the town grows sufficiently large, System would be bold enough to recommend User for the town's bank to issue our very own currency."

"But we do not have a banker's knowledge or the agreements the insurance agents made. It's best if we consult oh- wait… Okay. Now I understand why it is called the Sub System." As soon as Claire was pointing out the flaw in this plan, screens popped in front of her showcasing the protocols and even rules for the banking system as well as insurance agents operating all over the world. The various models of operation were clearly there for Claire to choose and research them.

"Also, if Intern Claire is interested, System would like to recommend expanding the current delivery company that User has created."

"Ah! The Pandafull Delivery? I've ordered from there, and gosh it was good and fast." Claire had only praise for it. The System shared the details of how pathetic the delivery system was in the current Goblin World.

"I see…if we were to make Pandafull a complete logistic company and use it in other worlds, we might be able to make a lot more from it."

"Not only that, but the Dungeon World delivery system is nearly as desolate as the Goblin World when it comes to logistics."

"Wait a minute. Isn't this far outside the scope of an accountant? Why are you suddenly giving me this many jobs to do? Aren't I just an intern for the Financing Sub System?"

"System has discovered that Intern Claire had a flair in understanding terms the User had trouble recongising. Also, your organisation skills are superb, and System wishes to utilise (=exploit) more of it whenever possible. In return, System will give an admirable testimony for User to consider hiring her."

"Tsk, you are using me so blatantly and do not even bother hiding it! Are you just basing it on the fact that I can reorganise Jin's accounts nicely? Because of that, you want me to set up a variety of side businesses? And those businesses are substantial businesses which need constant monitoring after their creation."

"With Intern Claire's talent and the Financing Sub System capabilities, System believes that the tasks could ultimately be automated once the foundations are created. There are also a lot of monsters that can take on those jobs if needed."

"Speaking of monsters, what about those demons you defeated from Demon Metropolis? From my understanding, it will be hard to pretend that those demons are gone from the Demon Metropolis forever. Resurrection should still take place. If they don't return, they should discover that you have ways to temper with their resurrection system, making you public enemy number one." Claire displayed her knowledge of the current situation after her few days of internship with the System.

Even when organising the accounts, there were long waiting times that bored Claire. Thus, she had used that amount of time to learn more about Jin and his current predicament to have a better understanding of his shop.

"That itself is a long explanation." The System replied hesitantly, yet Claire shrugged her shoulders as she stood up with a cup of Blue Mountain Coffee (one of the best perks of the job) in one hand.

"I have all day to listen while I wait for the stocks to move." She stressed as the Financial Sub System Intern admired the empty business buildings outside her wide panel window.
