Number One Dungeon Supplier

Jin monitored the volatile situation in the Giant World, but he could help to feel frustrated and useless. As it was merely morning, the number of cultivators were still somewhat limited, and at least they were making some progress against Maeve's Valgs.

The System predicted that for the cultivators to reach towards the throne hall where Maeve would be situated at, they would probably need additional manpower considering the threat the cultivators were facing. In the meantime, the System suggested Jin to either work on something more useful or at the very least prepare countermeasures against Maeve.

"You mean to prepare an army to assault her the moment the cultivators find her?" Jin asked if that was the System's intention. He had initially wanted to rush in at the very last moment to aid the cultivators but eventually decided to not do so. At first, he was afraid that Maeve's magic would teleport him away the moment he teleported into the Giant's World.

However, the Postman Panda delivery had alleviated his fears when it managed to portal right beside Zi Dan and Xia Mao to pass their purchases to them. So, Jin theorised that it could be the entrances and exits of the castle that were affected by the random teleportation magic. If they managed to teleport within the castle's interior, there should not be a problem.

Unfortunately, that leads to another problem. Upon learning that the cultivators should be able to portal safely via the castle's interior, Jin requested the System to do as such for his minions to attack but it denied and fully objected to Jin's demands.

The System was afraid that Maeve might take that opportunity to locate the System's portal and either send her or a Valg portal to the System's premise. At the moment, those little Panda postmen was not an issue because the magical signature was minute. That could not be said to be the same if the System was teleporting either a portion of Jin's minions or the cultivators into the castle itself.

While it might not be as a problem considering that the System had created a containment premise, the System did not wish to put itself at risk unnecessarily. To the collective of wills, it had already determined that the risk was not worth it and the cultivators should continue to go via the front door.

Besides, what Maeve was doing had unknowingly created a complex enough dungeon raid experience for the cultivators. It saw no qualms breaking that experience for the cultivators.

But for Jin, the System later compromised to provide a one shot portal which subsequently led Jin to wonder if it was a good idea after the System had expressed its concerns.

"What if the extent of her powers is more than we estimated? We might potentially incur more losses than predicted, and I have an awfully terrible feeling that Queen Mab may step into the picture to protect her kid from dying."

"Then do just that? Why worry so much?" Kraft questioned as he emerged from nowhere once more. He sat at Jin's chair and ate what seemed to be an open bag of chips. (If Jin was not mistaken, Kraft probably stole it from Peppers since he remembered getting such chips for her.)

"The System had a point, we still need to conserve resources like souls for the Mechanical Titan attack since it would be hard for us to transport any cultivators to space without any proper space suits," Jin replied.

"What if the cultivators failed without Queen Mab coming in? What do we do? Don't know? That is precisely what the System wants you to plan. " Kraft reminded Jin of his duties.

"Never forget the loyalty and eagerness of your monsters. Although it's true that the cultivators are a source of your income and, to a certain degree, your fighting force, you have to remember not to rely too much on external help. That applies to business partners too."

"But didn't you suggested earlier to use cultivators?" Jin furrowed his eyebrows as he talked to Kraft.

"Doesn't mean you have to listen to everything I said, right? Did I accidentally lose my thinking master somewhere along the way? Or the person in front of me became a puppet of the System again? Do you want me to throw you back to that dark room once more? I can do that with a snap of a finger." Kraft warned Jin without facing him before heaving out a sigh.

He knew that Jin was not himself when his master heard the 'business proposal' from the Police Captain, even though it clearly sounded more like extortion.

"Don't let these small minor setbacks crawl all over your head. You had been marginally successful thus far, but it was not without luck. Even if Lady Luck is not at your side, doesn't mean you cannot work around the problem. Remember that your long term goal differs from everyone and you should not let these setbacks take control of you." Kraft finished what he needed to say. He then disappeared after using the Dungeon Maker console to check on a few queries that he had before disappearing from the Dungeon Maker.

Jin took a deep breath in and took a step backwards.

Kraft was right, the System and the others had been holding his hand from time to time. They could only help him to a certain extent, and as for the rest, Jin had to grow some balls and take the situation by its throat.

The Dungeon Supplier had always been worrying about the wrong things, and the only thing he should worry about is his own future, not some business deal or blackmail.

Maeve, the Mechanical Titan or even the Farming World were also just temporary obstacles to enhance his life in the future. Thus, he should not see these events with dread and instead with glimmering opportunity.

And there was indeed a silver lining in this particular circumstance.

"Hamatarou, are you done with the enhancement of Masamune?" Jin spoke through the System Channel.

"More or less, I think Vulcan understood my requirements, I should be available in a minute or two if you need me. What is the matter, Master? Do you want me to interrogate the Salamanders to find out why the Salamander King is acting that way? Or their connection with Maeve?"

"Nope, I do not want any of those. The Raid is up against Maeve, and I think this is the best time to get the other animal people. You said you have some way of contacting everyone right? For that ehh massive migration thingy." Jin vaguely remembered the details.

"Yeap, that something is similar to your flare gun, I shoot a magical flare from my hideout, and it will provide a signal to all the usable Totem of Atems to activate a hidden compartment. It contains a map various checkpoints for me to meet them for the mass migration. But we would still be in a sort of cat and mouse chase since giants are prowling the area." Hamatarou said.

"No worries about that, tell the System when you are ready to return to your tree hideout and prepare the stuff. I will contact you again when I have actionable details for you to proceed with the flare." Jin hung up and requested Peppers via the System Channel.

"Boom Boom time?" Peppers eagerly arrived at the Dungeon Maker despite taking the call from the System.

"In a way," Jin replied, and Peppers frown before her master could finish his sentence.

"That won't do. I did you a service already, I am not going to do some useless scan to see the number of monsters in that pathetic castle. You should have enough information to go by." Peppers interrupted and was ready to return while still chewing on the candy that Jin had gotten for her earlier in the morning.

Jin quickly grabbed by her shoulders and pushed her to the dungeon maker console. The System also assisted by blocking her teleport until she listened to Jin's request.

"No. Peppers, look here. I have a very important job for you, one that requires your utmost ability as well. It might not be as fun as burning the whole Giant kingdom down, but I need you to provide aerial artillery support." Jin then emphasised on the next sentence.

"In short, an awful lot of Boom Boom."
