Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 2255 Pandawan Representation

In the ever-expanding landscape of Jin's new reality, the weight of his responsibilities loomed larger than the horizon. It was both a blessing and a curse to return to the waking world, where the tasks ahead felt monumental. While he had gained an entire world to cultivate, teeming with potential for producing goods and items for the Mecha Universe War, the urgency of the current world's expansion was less pressing than he had anticipated.

The thrill of new beginnings was tempered by the daunting knowledge that work awaited him, regardless of the challenges he had just overcome in his subconscious journey. "Yun, can I ask you to do a huge favour?" Jin's voice resonated with newfound determination as he recognized the value of his companion.

It was time to be more proactive, and Yun's capabilities could be harnessed more effectively. She was no longer just an information counter assistant; she could take the reins of a burgeoning enterprise that could thrive under her management.

"What is it?" Yun's tone had shifted dramatically from their earlier encounters. The edge of formality had melted away, replaced with a warmth that signified her willingness to assist. Jin could sense her eagerness, a refreshing change from the rigid interactions they previously shared.

"I need you to handle the manufacturing expansion I set up in Beijing. Can you reach out to our dear Dragon Leader and gauge his interest in investing? I want to discuss protection for this venture, particularly from the looming shadow of the Banned Emperor." Jin's words were measured, each syllable carrying the weight of his intentions.

"In short, you want Kong Rong to ensure our operations remain discreet, to shield us from the prying eyes of the Banned Emperor?" Yun's perceptiveness shone through as she grasped the essence of Jin's request.

"Exactly. I can't afford to expose my higher level abilities to the Banned Emperor. Establishing a clandestine production site, or perhaps even a black site for future allied agents, would significantly bolster our defences, whether for immediate challenges or long-term strategies."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Jin's expression was earnest, and Yun nodded in understanding. "Then what's the plan for the Shanghai location?" she inquired, her curiosity piqued.

"The Shanghai site will feature automated vendor systems designed to streamline operations. I will set it as a gateway connecting directly to our dungeon supplier store," Jin explained, excitement creeping into his voice. "But don't worry—the customers who teleport in won't be leaving from here; they'll return to their exact locations."

"So, you're seriously scrapping the teleportation gates you initially wanted to implement?" Yun's brow furrowed in contemplation.

"For the time being, yes. I'm allowing only Kong Rong and a select few to utilize them. After all, that's part of the perks of being an honorary member of the Royal Panda Zodiac." Jin flashed a knowing smile, appreciating the intricacies of their world. As he spoke, Jin couldn't help but bring up the System window status, eager to glean insights from the week's statistics.

"I am not asking you to recruit every single competent human into the Royal Panda Zodiac Clan," she said, careful to weigh his words. "As much as you wish to grow your clan members, I suggest we keep it to a small group of people who would dedicate their time, loyalty, and expertise to our cause." His eyes glinted as Yun attempted to gauge his reactions.

"That is why you are asking only the Pandawans." He understood the dynamics at play, the intricate balance between ambition and practicality.

The Pandawans had been his focus for a reason and Yun continued to remind him of that. "I've also kept a close eye on their dungeon participation. Some may have a shaky foundation as mentioned, but their explosive growth — most of them hitting Grade 10 and above — shows they possess the raw talent to excel." Yun remarked.

"But do note that when you get them into the clan, you have to remember that they're often bogged down by their need for erm... essentials." Her voice dropped to a whisper, aware of the weight her next word would carry.

"You mean salary..." Jin replied, piecing together the puzzle.

"Erm... yeah," Yun admitted, the reality of the situation settling in. While passion and resolve drove the Pandawans, the harsh truth was that financial stability remained a critical factor in their dedication with the exception of Xiong Da.

"Okay, okay. I get where you're going with this," Jin reassured Yun. "Salaries are not an issue, considering the amount of money we earn daily—not just from this world, but from the entire multiverse we've traversed." There was a confidence in his tone, a certainty that spoke to their wealth and resources. "Once they truly become our Royal Panda Zodiac Pandawans, they would earn salaries on par with royal knights serving their king."

However, before Yun could respond, a voice thundered through the System Channel, cutting through their conversation like a bolt of lightning. "IHEARDHIRINGANDHIGHSALARY. DIDYOUEVENSEETHEFUCKINGEXPENSESHEETIPASSED. TO. YOU?!!" Claire's voice reverberated, her frustration palpable. The atmosphere shifted, tension coiling around the group as they processed Claire's words.

She was always straightforward, her fiery spirit often blazing through any hesitations they might have. "Are you serious right now?" she continued, her words full of an exasperation that only she could muster.

"We have a chance to build something incredible here. Pandawans! Knights of the Panda Clans! Well erm in chinese context I guess, they are like Captains and Marshalls... anyways-you get my point and you're worried about salaries? We've got the resources; it's time we invest in the talent we need to achieve greatness!" Jin felt the rush of adrenaline while gleeing like a mad man; Claire's outburst seemed to ignite something within him.

But no. She was extremely adamant that Jin think through his words more thoroughly.
