Number One Dungeon Supplier

"Wow, it's been a long time since I have to manually move stuff," Jin said as he kind of not miss the interface in the dungeon maker.  All this time within the Virtual Reality, he was able to use the holographic console and create scenarios and where to put his dungeon monsters just by a touch of his thoughts. 

There was no need to manually move them with a computer mouse or use any touchscreens as he did for the dungeon maker. Of course, the touchscreen had its uses as it felt like he was able to move windows and do multiple things at the same time while the 'thought' movement needed Jin to concentrate solely on dungeon creation. 

"The System also believed that going from your thought movements to touchscreens felt backward, so the System had already put in the necessary upgrades to ensure that the dungeon creation experience would be as easy as it could have been." The System reported and Jin's eyes lit up. 

"Are you serious? Does that mean I can do the stuff I did in the Virtual Simulation as well?" 

"Yes, while this should have been unlocked in the Supplier Rank 6 and you had not been doing any objectives or quests from the System, the System felt that those objectives were more or less useless considering how User had always been wandering to perform its own objectives. And the things you do have merits and reasoning behind them. Therefore, the System has decided to reward you with this particular upgrade."

"Wait wait wait. You meant to say that you have this all along but you did not use it because I am being locked away due to insufficient supplier rank. And then it so happened that the Synthesis World has such a feature and thus when I am back at this place, you had decided to allow me to finally utilise such a feature that you ALWAYS have?" Jin asked with a 'what da fudge you have this all along and you did not tell me about this' kind of facial expression.

"To be frank, the System was not able to properly have that option ready for use. There were too many bugs and due to those bugs, it may cause the User significant headaches even though the System knew that those headaches would also be temporary due to the User's Healing Factor. However, upon being exposed to the nature of the holographic console that the Synthesis World had used, the System shamelessly asked the AI Administration to provide a sample of its source code for its holographic console for reference. It proved to be an awe-inspiring experience for it to be so simple and clean."  The System explained.

"Fine. Okay. I get it." Jin finds that there is no use arguing with the System with regard to something that has already been done.

"And the plus point? You can create any dungeon instance just as how you did it in the Virtual Simulation, on the go as you implement it wherever you are. This would greatly increase your flexibility and power considering you are now able to create the dungeon instances and put it into reality whenever and wherever you need it. The plus point as well? No more 15 minutes intervals for the dungeon." 

"Does that mean this is like an upgrade to my powers as well? I mean previously, you kept asking me to use my phone to create the dungeon instances because it needed your help to do so." 

"The System still helps the User to put up the dungeon instance, but given your new cultivation grade, you are able to create complex dungeon instances on the go, and with a little help from the System, you would be able to implement it. That is what the System had assumed since you had reached more than just the pinnacle of Cultivation Grade in terms of strength. In terms of enlightenment, however..."

"Okay, stop I get it."  Jin finds that the System is using this opportunity to make fun of him. 

"On the other note before you start, the System is evaluating your said new strength as well and has been comparing with references in the past. There is a chance that what User have right now, could actually be the original grade expectation of cultivation."

"Huh, what?" Jin did not get what the System meant.

"As the System had been attempting to review the error checks that the Cultivation Grade tests had made, the System recalled that there were old Cultivation Grade tests archived in its databank. Upon retrieving old Cultivation Grade Tests, it had been noted that the Grade tests qualifications and the new data matched." 

"Wait a minute, so you are saying people got weaker over the years? Hmmm… actually it is not that surprising. There are fewer monsters to fight now, and people usually scuffle against each other, not because of death row and promises but because of petty things. Well, in the past, people fought to death due to petty things too..."

"Indeed, and the System checked with even older Cultivation Grade Tests, the ones when the fall of the Banned Emperor, and the rise of the Jade Emperor. Your Cultivation Grade data matches extremely well with the old. It is of no surprise that even if someone were to hit Grade 20 in the modern world, they might not be able to change the laws of nature at all."

"In fact, I felt it was weird that I reached my previous cultivation grade way too damn fast. It felt as if the grade threshold was from 17-20 extremely skewed or the cultivation I am using is too damn unique that I moved up the ladder way too quickly. Now that you explain it this way, I somehow feel…I do not know, maybe relief?" 

"You should not." The System warned. "In fact, the System would recommend continuing to work hard for it." 

"Why?" Jin asked and the System thought he would have known the answer.
